THE STATE PRESS.
New Orleans Picayune: With improved
methods utilizing all our agricultural re-
sources, we could feed and clothe the world.
New Orleans Times Democrat: Mr..
Aswell is always we'll to the front in poll
tics, and it is difficult to classify him,
whether as politician or educator.
Monroe News-Star: We all could allie
viate suffering if we would only be more
thoughtful and endeaver to help some
struggling fellow over the rough places.
Life to us would be made sweeter and the
one helped would be grateful.
Vermilion News: The people are the
foundation of the government. They are
the government. Politicians talk and act
if they we're the government, and the peo-
pile. But they hold Office only at the will
of the people, who are the rulers.
Lake Charles American Press: 1t took
12O years for the Federal Government to
make fifteen amendments to the Constitu-
ton. Candor, however, compels US to adj
nit that Louisiana will come dangerously
near showing that it can be done to State
Constitution in 120 days.
Mansfield Enterprise: Referendum and
recall, which simply means getting near to
the people, is growing in nearly every
State in the Union. The story of the last
Louisiana Legislature demonstrates that
this State is about the worst boss ridden
community that ever existed. The people
of Louisiana should assert their manhood.
New Orleans Item: There are many to-
day who see little difference in the keeping
of Mr.. Caldwell's accounts and that of Mr..
Aswell's. If system and order are desira-
BILE qualities, in pattern for youth, they
are just as desirable in one man as another,
and even more desirable in New Orleans
than in Natchitoches: for there is more
room here for confusion.
New Orleans Item: Public education
has made progress in New Orleans despite
the Gripping politics to which it has been
subjected, and that progress is monument
to the devotion of the fathers and mothers
and the patient men and women of the
schools, who have declared in the face OF
every discouraging circumstance that the
best is none too good for the boys and
girls of New Orleans,

sential. With the new advent in the sys.
tenn has come extra taxation, in almos
every ward and almost every parish. Il
as much money had been available twenty
years ago as is available to-day, we ven.
ture to say that conditions would have
been far superior. It is only natural.
Thibodaux Commercial Journal: The
developments in the selection of Super.
intendent of Education for New Orleans tt
succeed the late Warren Easton has be.
come not only interesting but exceedingly
| notorious and ridiculous. 1t has developed
} the fact that the public school system o
} the State of Louisiana is way down deer
in the dirty mire of cheap, selfish and un
, principled politics. The good of the schools
and the system are secondary only, while
the prime interest is the advancement o
) political favorites and the cancellation o
} political debts.
