THE STATE PRESS.

L
fellows ask questions, you would imagine
they were detectives trying to work out an
important case.
Shreveport Caucasian: It may be said,
in referring to the Veterans of the Confed-
eracy in the singular number, that the
Confederate Soldier is the exception to all
exceptions. There never was his equal.
Claiborne Guardian journal: We have
not lost faith altogether in mankind, nor
become confirmed pessimist, but are COM
PEELED to admit that mighty lot of dirty
work is going on, among Democrats as we'll
as Republicans.
Thibodaux Commercial Journal: That
school children should be forced to idolize
convicted criminal shows that the schools
are in politics and shows the further fact
that crime is justified and given as an ex-
ample to be emulated.
Morgan City Outlook: Watch that house,
fly A little while ago it was sucking a
sore on NANCY dog; now it is crawling
on baby's lips; a little later it will be ap-
plying its proboscis and all six feet to the
slice of roast that you will eat for dinner.
Ach!
East Carroll Banner Democrat: Mr..
Bryan is trying to stick his bill in Ohio
politics and is debating to Gov. Harmon
how United States Senator of the Buck
eye State should be selected. Mr.. Bryan
is the cause of the Democratic party being
disrupted before and he is at it again. Mr..
Bryan ought to be sat down on good and
strong.
Morgan City Outlook: The question was
raised in Webster Parish as to the limita-
tons on the control which Parish School
Boards have over the distribution of parish
school funds. Our State Supreme Court
had the final word to say; and upheld tho
plain provisions of the law that this control
is well-nigh absolute. And it ought to be,
in view of conditions as they exist in this
State.
Assumption Pioneer: We trust that the
Legislature will shelve the Young Banking
Bill in the first round. The passage of this
bill means the taxing of the solid and SUBJ
stantial banks of the State to make good
the losses of those banks that take all sorts
of chances. The plea that it will guarantee
the depositors against any loss is pretty in
theory, but it has been rejected as imprac-
ticable by the leading bankers and business
men of the country.
Board of the Parish of Lafayette has ap-
propriated ST, 1856 for the purchase of an
automobile to be used by the Parish Su-.
perintendent for the purpose of making
tours of inspection throughout the parish.
Next will probably come an appropriation
for the salary of chauffeur. The policy
of our School Boards appears to be how
much money they can spend for other than
educational purposes.
Louisiana Democrat: William ]. Bryan,
in keeping with his "dog in the manger"
policy, is trying to read Gov. Harmon out
of the Democratic party, because he will
not permit him to dictate what he shall or
shall not do, in order to secure his support,
which would be as deleterious to his polit-
ical aspirations as the poisonous gases
which exude from the deadly Upas tree.
Having thrice lead the Democratic party to
inglorious defeat, it is about time that this
unsuccessful chieftain should seek some
secluded retreat, from which he would no
longer thrust his cratic, heretical and dam
gerous views upon an unwilling public,
instead of permitting his unbounded pre-
sumption to force him to assume an atti-
tude of hostility to such man as Judson
Harmon, who has been as uniformly sue
cessful, as he has been the reverse politi-
cally.
