MAYOR BEHRMAN CONDEMNED.

There was held in the Atheneum in
New Orleans Friday night meeting OF
citizens, whose purpose was to protest
against Mayor Behrman in his political
meddling of the public schools of that
city.
The hall, one of the largest, was, from
reports, crowded, with barely standing
room.
This demonstration by the citizens OF
New Orleans is only prelude OF fu-
ture actions.
When the public schools are contaml-
mated with the vice Of politics, all classes
of the people are then concerned.
1t is amazing to think that Mayor
Behrman should have been so limited
in his foresight He should have real
ICED that his political meddling in the
public schools would arouse tempest
of denunciation from the people of the
city.
However, Mayor Behrman, as others
Ol TIC l1llS, lldSS lliiNh 81 >
and ran over when necessary all oppo-
sition, that he surTnised that whatever
protest would follow his meddling would
soon blow over and he would remain
master of the situation.
The mistake by Mayor Behrman is
only the repetition of the acts of greater
haa-, ed
their usurpation of authority, What can
be the gain of Mayor Behrman in po-
litical game, with teachers and public
schools as the pawns?
In their protests the citizens of New
Orleans condemned the usurpatlon and
abuse of authority by the mayor and the
assistance given therein by the Gov
ernor," ratifying the resolutions adpot-
by the presidents of the Mothers Clubs
mass meeting, calling on the State Sen
ate to refuse to ratify the nomination
of Frank Owens on the school board
and providing that copies be sent to the
Governor and the mayor, and that they
be notified to amend their ways or take
the consequences.
It is unfortunate that the Governor
has been dragged into this meddling, but
it now remains with the Legislature to
disapprove the appointments of the Gov
ernor suggested by Mayor Behrman.
To say the least, the members of the
Legislature, especially from .the coun-
try" will prove recreant to their trust
and their man1iness should they confirm
such appointments. It is now in the
power of the Legislature to rebu5e this
high-handed outrage of Mayor Behrman
in his play of politics with the schools
of New Orleans

OVER THE HILLS AND FAR
AWAY.


Over the hills and far away,
A little boy steals from his morning play
And under the poisoning apple tree
He lies and dreams of things to be:
Of battles fought and of victories won,
Of wrongs o'erthrown and great deeds
done
Of va1or that he shall prove some day,
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away,
It's, oh, for the toll of the livelong day /!
But it mattered not to the soul afame
With love for riches and power and
fame!
On, o man! while the sun is high
On to the certain joys that lie
Yonder where blazeth the noon of day,
Over <the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away,
An old man fingers at close of day,
Now that his journey is almost done,
His battles fought, his victories won
The old-tirne honesty and truth,
The trustfu1ness and the friends Of
youth,
Home and mother-where are they?
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away
