Referring to the newly elected superin-
tendent of the public schools of New Or
leans, the Item of that city says:
''Dr. Gwinn's revenue, we are informed
On competent authority. did not exceed
S2400 annually, this including his salary
and whatever else his position entailed.
He gave several members of the board to
understand that he had been assured q
salary of $1,000 as superintendent, and
that S4000-the salary of the late Mr..
Easton-would be no inducement to him. I"
DR.. Gwinn should not be blamed for
asking an exorbitant salary. Putting a
"thirty dollar saddle on ten dollar horse -
has been a matter of common occurrence
in the departure" of Education in Lou
isiana for the past several years. The
pace has been set by the man higher up.
Mr.. Gwinn has bright example in Mr..
Aswell, the prince of salary grabbers, who
gladly accepting, the voters thought in good
faith, the Office of State Superintendent oi
Public Education at q salary of $1,000 pei
annum. Immediately went to work to have
his salary raised to 5000, which he sue
ceeded in doing after making two raids on
the Constitution of the State.
If salary grabbing is acceptable to the
people, why not Gwinn and others as vel
as Aswell? Let us be consistent. Put the
ak to the root OF the tree, if you would kill
the deadly upas.

JOHN MILTON.

JOHN MILTON.
John Milton, one of the greatest poets OF
all time, was born in London, December 8,
16o9-2O2 years ago tomorrow.
Milton had become entirely blind in 1854.
"Paradise Lost" the greatest poem in the
Englisd language, was published in 1857,
and for two editions of it the author re-
ceived altogether e10, but he won immortal
fame. In this noblest literary monument
of the Puritan period the great theme of
the Fall of Man is treated with the utmost
grandeur of inauguration.
Milton was brilliant son of his age, and
a Puritan theologian, and all his work was
conceived and executed in the spirit of his
faith. "Paradise Lost" his greatest work,
the poem in which he put his own soul, in
Which can be seen the throbbing of all the
mans hopes, purposes and affections, is,
to twentieth century Readers, more alien
than the human, natural work of Homer
and Virgil. 1t is theology in verse, the
definition of faith that is dead, an alle-
CORY which awakens no response in hearts
grown beyond the interests which, to the
man of the Seventeenth Century, were
quick with life.
Nevertheless, Milton's splendid verse
cannot but ennoble the mind that is stepped
in it. There is a stately dignity of thought
and expression which will work itself into
the very soul of the reader and so into his
speech and manner. The great puritan's
thought is source of power to all who
imbibe it. His puritanism stiffened and
hardened his philosophy, but it did not
deaden it, and while paradise Lost" is,
to most modern readers, known only by
rumor and report, few men would fail to
find in it the elements of robust, healthy,
honest manliness.
Practically the world owes John Milton
debt of gratitude which cannot be paid
save 10y gratitude always present in the
heart. In his prose works he made liberty
sublime-liberty of conscience, of speech,
of the press. In the "Areopagitica" he
set forth the principles of this liberty in a
thinkers and writer's coming after him dc
no more than repeat, explain or rpopularize
his thought. They cannot equal his elo-
quence or surpass his logic.
John Milton the thelogian is dead. John
Milton the man is living fact, which can.
not but augment the manhood of all who
read him, raising them above the sor1id
cares and vexations of petty existence
and placing them on level of life where
they can live nobly as men should live
We can properly neglect his doctrine, but
he who seeks the man in his work will find
a fountain of inspiration which will never
fail.
Milton's literary activity only ceased
with his life. After having delivered hi.
warning message to his countryin "Sam.
son Agonistes the last great product o.
his genius-Milton died on November 8
1914, of gout-fever, at the age of sixty.
five years and eleven months.

Some mems hostility to intended wrongs
is based more upon hatred of the few who
have made wealth than on the love OF
justice and love of the people despoiled.
Such men would despoil the rich. They
are not the sort of men who are animated
by the true ideals. The true school of
Democracy is composed of men who have
faith in and sympathy with the people, and
whose hostility to trusts and combinations
is because they deny to all an equal chance.

We have heard lot lately about the
corruption of big corporations. We. have
heard the clamoring for justice on the part
of the laborer. We have heard the spirit of
rebellion on the part of the anarchist, with
theresult the spirit of irreligion is spreading
unconsciously which must affect the people.
If that is the spirit of the time that is sweep
ing like wave over the country it is time
for US to be up and doing to offset this evil
influence.
