Now that the political pot is set

manifested by the rival leaders
Bosses } rs the probable success of
their pet candidates, the selection
Of whom the fool and subserrient
voters had nothing to do with.
We suggest to these voters, for
their edi6cation that they look
over the Cartoon which appeared
in the Times-Democrat Friday
July 81 they will then fully un-
derstand that the only thing OK
pected of them is to humbly and
obediently cast their votes in such
mauner as to secure the leader
ship aud mastery to this or that
leader Tor boss which in this ill.,
stance MS in all others is the height
of their political ambition, regard
less OF consequences. 1t is beyond
comprehension that self respect
ing citizens should quietly submit
to the dictates of a few politicians;
allowing them to frame tickets
without consulting with the vo-
tiers in any way. Surely boss rule
still reigns supreme Why do
they no. break away from this
humiiatiug thraldom 4? Why
should not the people, the 30
vereign people, the patrons of the
common schools, the most inter-
ested meet Deliberate and select
candidates for School Directors
whose official qualifications will
rebound to the general good-m-n
that will not be swayed by r-Iigi-
Gus or political feelings. while dis
charging their duties. Men known
for their Independence of mind
aud especially free from Boss rule
and clerical influence: in a word.
brOadmind-d, unbiased, free and

DIR. OLIVIER REPLIES.

st. MnrlinvilIe, La, Aug 5. 1908.
Mr.. Editor
Although deem it unnecessary
to reply to the platform of one of
my worthy opponents for School
Board membership, Mr.. J. A. Hit
ter, yet l feel it my duty to make
q correction of one of Mr.. Hitter's
statements,-a statement for which
there is absolutely no justification
III fact.
Mr.. Hitter writes IN his plat
form, Il am particularly opposed
to paying the expenses of any per-
son whomsoever seeking employ
ment 10 the parish" We have Il
right to presume that the intended
implication is that the present adj
miuistration has been paying such
expenses. We don't know from
what source the gentleman gets
the information which enables
him to make such differences, and
cast such insinuatious. We trust
that he has been lnisiuformed, as
we should not like to believe that
Mr.. Hitter should rush into the pu-
bile press with reflections aud in
Situations based entirely on sup
positions which could, if true,
have been verified SO easily by ap.
plicatiOn 30 the proper authorities.
We shall, however, claim the
same privilege that Mr.. Hitter has
used.-th of Surprising" that
his superstition was based Oh the
appropriation of 1854 by the
School Board to pay the expenses
of two trips that our present SUI
perinteDdent made into this pa.
IRISH after his appointment to the
position, but before he assumed
the duties of the office. As these
trips were made, by request, to
confer with the officials of the
Board relative to the vacancies in
the schools, and to make tour Of
the parish schools with Supt. Cor
mier, the Board very naturally re-
funded the gentleman the neces-
sary expenses Of these trips be-
cause he bad not yet at that time
began to draw salary. We claim
the privilege Of further "suppos-
ing that Mr.. Hitter's supposition
was based further Oh the fact that
Mr.. FavrOt. of his own free will
aud at his own expense, paid our
town a visit on May 31st, week
prior to- bis appointment to see
the town aud look over the situa.
ton. The implied criticism, then,
of our worthy opponent, Mr.. Hit
tor, is grOundless aud entirely un.
called for.
AS to the matter of the salary
and nativity Of the superintendent,
SO clearly do We feel the need of
expert supervision for our schools,
that We have made an effort to eD-
gage the best available man to
take charge of them. aud We wish
to stand before the public 81 usre.
ly on what we have done in this re-.
spect. We hold that similar view
our principal teachers.
1t has been our policy to try to get

bail from, but other things being
equal. we favor giving preference

cal needs, the report is as follows:
 ''The fact that our hospital plant has been so notably improved in re- cent years ought not to cause the members of society or the public to lose sight of the fact that if Is still far from being complete. and that we need large addition to our capital fund to maintain it. The hospital has many pressing needs, and it is of vital importance to the community that a way should be found to supply some of these needs
 At present there is no place in the vicinity of New Haven where advanc ed cases of uncomplicated pulmonary tuberculosis can be properly cared for. and much suffering on the part of pa tients and exposure of the family or friends results therefrom. The addi- tion of tuberculosis ward to our present plant would he one of the greatest benefits that could he con ferred upon this community. The Wallingford sanitarium can take only incipient cases where there is rca- sonable prospect of improvement or cure. There ought to he a place in New Haven where advanced cases can be cared for without endsngering other patients.
 For the better administration of the hospital we need additional laun- dry machinery; an addition to the present isolation ward giving toilet fa- eilities which would make if an isola- ton ward in fact as we'll as in name; an electric light plant which, if prop erly planned and installed. would sup ply us with needed power for our ele- vator. improve out lighting facilities and decrease the cost of lighting: an X-rav room where this important fes- ture of our surgical service could be properly handled and our plates prop erlN cared for: improved storage facil- ities for our perishable food supplies. and a vacuum cleaner system to greatly simplify the problem of clean illness in the wards and corridors and the rooms appurtenant thereto.

But the case Is even stronger wher
the bank is required to put up specific
security for the protection OF national
state, country. or city deposits Its
gilt.edged securities are thus hypothe-
Gated and the inferior securities are
left for the security OF The depOsitors.
80 that, as Z matter Of fact. the pub.
lie deposits are not only protected,
but they are protected at the expense
Of the Individual depositors. What
shall We say Of a national bank which
willingly gives the government speci'
nc security and then opposes the pro-
lection Of depositors? And. strange to
say, these big banks that get the long
deposits from the government upon
specific security are the very ones thas
have fought and are fighting the sys'
tenn for the guaranty OF depositors.
1t is time that the depositors under
