A new man is almost worthless in either
house of Congress. He must be we'll and
favorably known before he can accomplish
anything, and his usefulness and ability to
serve the State are largely dependent upon
long term of service, added to high per-
sonal character and qualities. In the
Fourth District Mr.. Watkins, who has
served in three Congresses, has done we'll
and is contantly growing in usefulness and
ability to serve we'll his State and people.
Ne,c Orleans Picayu,,e.
The above expression of opinion from
that very able conservative paper, the Pic
ayune, states very clearly one of the
strongest reasons why Judge Watkins
should be reelected to Congress. That he
has made an able, vigilant, active and
faithful representative will not be denied
by any one who has no selfish interest to
serve. He has been there long enough to
learn the ropes, so to speak, and no new
man, however able and ambitious, can
serve US so we'll as he.-C0ushottu Citizen.

Vermilion News: The Legislature eff
fectively administered dose of knock out
drops to the bug-juice dens in Shreveport
and other places, run under the name of
"locker clubs.'' By thus evading the law,
those fellows run saloons, and of course
without paying saloon license.
Haynesville News:s There is at least one
good thing about the extraordinary session
of the Legislature that should come in for
good share of congratulation and that is
the people will get another whack at that
old imp of the devil-the locker club. Of
all the miserable subterfuges offered to
dodge an honest proposition the locker club
is entitled to all honors. It is indeed worse
than the open saloon.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

For several years there has been great
deal said in favor of compulsory education
by selfishly interested men who want to
take the control of the educable children
Of the State out of the hands of ''the foot
parents" who do not endorse thier would
But with all of their influence and persist
ent lobbying they failed to convince ma
jority of the Legislators of the correctness
of their despotic views and the legislature
refused to enact law for compulsory ed
ucation in Louisiana at the dictation of
this clique of political SPELL binders, and
in the interest of Aswell's gubernatorial
aspirations. In an editorial on this subject
the Morgan City Outlook says in part:
"The people of Louisiana know that en-
forced attendance at school is not a condi-
ton which favors learning. They
must be got at through the halls of legisla-
ton and compelled to drive their little ones
out at the suggestion of paid appointees.
We believe that the parents care for the
child is paramount, in spite of exceptions
here and there. Neither the body of
teachers as a whole nor the body of officials
as whole, being themselves made of the
same clay and lacking the parental inter-
est, will care for the child as we'll as the
body of parents as a whole. 1t is mis-
take to invest teachers and political officials
with power to intervene between parent
and child. For every instance in which
good may be accomplished by such inter-
ventiOn there will he one hundred inatances
in which evil will follow. The advocates
of enforced attendance have not proven
their contention, neither in this country
nor in Germany; for the results follow
slowly and in complex relations

Unspoken Words.
BY JOHN BOYLE O'RElLLY.

The kindly words that rise within the heart
And thrill it with their sympathetic tone
But die ere spoken, fail to play their part,
And claim merit that is not their own
The kindly word unspoken is sin,
A sin that wraps itself in purest guise
And tells the heart that, doubling, looks within
That not in speech, but thought, the virtue lies.
But It's not SO; another heart may thirst
For that kind word, Hagar in the wild
Poor banished Hagar!-prayed we'll might burst
From out the sand to save her parching child
And loving eyes that cannot see the mind
Will watch the expected movement of the lin.
And can We let its cutting silence wind
Around that heart and seattle it like whinp
Unspoken words, like treasures in the NINE
Are valueless until we give them birth;
Like unbound gold their hidden beauties shine
Which God has made to bless and gild the earth
How sad twould be to see masters hand
Strike glorious notes upon voiceless lutte!
But oh, what pain when, at Gods own command
heartstring thrills with kindness, but is mutel
Then hide it not, the music of the soul,
Dear sympathy, expressed with kindly voice.
But let it like shining river roll
To deserts dry-to hearts that would rejoice
Oh, let the sympathy of kindly words
Sound for the poor, the friendess and the weak!
And He will bless you; He who struck these chords
Will strike another when in turn you seek.

ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL"

nothing to that of a busy workshop of
great activity toward the good of the pub
lic.'
For the past six years this kind of rot has
been systematically dinned into the ears
of the reading public. Ithas been so much
overdone, that it has grown stale and
meaningless. We have no desire to refer
to the investigation of Mr.. Aswell's ac-
counts in this article, nor shall we do so.
But We do protest against this uncalled for
and unjust Misrepresentation of the adj
ministrations of former State Superintend-
ents of Education Robert M. Lusher, Edwin
H. Fay, Warren Easton, Joseph A. Breaux,
A. D. Lafargue and J. V. Calhoun.
In order that Mr.. Aswell may be lauded
as the greatest of educators, all others
must be belittled. Every action of Mr..
Aswell's, no matter how unimportant, has
been in regular court journal style dill
gently paraded before the helpless public
in some of the newspapers. Did the tax
payers of any community put their hands
house, or of their own free will and accord
vote special tax for school purposes, Mr..
Aswell must hasten to the scene,> give a
CAB feast, and, indirectly he was given the
credit by the handy reporter for what was
really done by the unassuming tax payers.
We admit that the schools of Louisiana
are more prosperous than ever before, and
there are good reasons for it. The State is
more prosperous and the school revenues
amount to about five times as much as
they did fifteen or twenty years ago. There
are now thrifty towns and villages with
stores, railroad depots and banks, where,
fifteen and twenty years ago there we're
old abandoned fields. It is the money of
the tax payers that has built up the schools
of the State, and not Mr.. Aswel. What
more, for instance, could Superintendent
Lusher do with the very small amount at
his command than he did do? He did all
that could be done, and no one with an al
most empty treasury could have done any
more.
From the beginning of Mr.. Lusher's
administration, in 1877, to the present time,
the public schools of Bossier Parish have
steadily prospered, increasing in length of
terms from three months to eight and nine
months, as the revenues increased. Three
excellent and prosperous high schools have
been established, and all under Mr.. j. V.
Calhoun's able administration, the "do
nothing" slur to the contrary, neverthe-
less and notwithstanding. Our people are
liberal, progressive and ambitious, and
they take great pride in their schools, and
that advancement is their work, and not
Mr.. Aswell's. No doubt the same condi-
ton exists in nearly all of the other parishes
of the State.
The Morgan City Outlook stated "the
truth and nothing but the truth" when it
said this of Mr.. James B. Aswell: "No
man in the State has been treated with more
indulgence, and no man in the State has
abused it more. He has used this misguided
confidence to build up a machine that is
fatal to the highest interests of the public.
And his work cannot be too soon undone
by the General Assembly,"

 Carlyle, scOwllug, replied:

But a man came and wrote a book called The Social Contract This man was Jean Jacques Rousseau, and hIs book was a theory and nothing but theory. The nobles could laugh at his theory, but their skins went to bind the sec ond edition of the book"
