that the Imperial government at Pc

and conviction Of Leon. and the Chi

Mr.. Gu. has been instructed to send to
all Chinese consuls, prominent mer-

Chinese secret societies, a letter urg-
ing them to call together their fellow
countrymen in their ncighborhoods
and. addressing them In the name Of

Mr.. Valet handed his resignation to
the parish board last February as re.
quested by the State Board, and be-
cause they refused to accept /! is no
reason why he should be deprived OF
his certificate. In our opinion it is
questionable whether the cause is sutii :
cient for the Board to even revoke his
certificate Of eligibility. The matter
however promises to be interesting,
unless the old board coolv submits.
The removal Of the cid board for this
cause, when elected BY the people, has
ever been questions bic in our mind as
we have always believed that such a
power was beyond the Governor or
the State Board. Mr.. Wallet owed his
resignation to the parish board, his
creator. and to no State officer We
suppose he will stand up for his rights
and fight the matter out in the courts.

PRESS VIEWS OF OUR
SCHOOL MUOOLE."
DEPOSING ELECTIVE OFFICERS.

Those, who have watched the
progress of the school troubles IN
New iberia with some interest, but
with little doubt Of the outcome
were not unprcpared for the action
Of the Governor of removing the
stubborn old board and replacing
it instanter with n new board,
showing at once the Quickncss OF
the executive mind as we'll as the
dizziness with which the commits
siOns were made out. This act
was expected, although it was in
contravcntion Of the Attorney
Generals expressed opinion that
it was not admissible in law. 1t
will be noted with satisfaction by
our readers that those voting with
Judge Guion was the member
from this section, Judge S. McC
Lawrason, also ID. G. Scarborough
OF Natchitoches. While these gen
tlemen were in a minority Of three
and their opinion did not alter the
result, it is consolation to know
that there are some who take Sc
rious view of the rights of elective
officers. 1t is claimed that the
Governor will be secured in fiis
action by the Gleason Act, No. 81
of 1908 which provides that no re-
gister, school official or other Of
ficcr can, by injunction, prevent
his own removal from office and
the appointment Of another III his
place.
1t seems to us that this might
very we'll apply to appointive Of
fees, but do not believe that it
will stand the test of constitution
atty when applied to elective Of
ficcrs. The latter hold their com
direct from the people and
their removal should not be pos
sible, except by due process Of
law, else, what officers, elected by
the people would be secure from
the whim, or prejudice, or design
of his chief executive?
