1T WILL TAKE TIME.

Senator Perrin hit the nail square,
ly on the head in his proposed
amendment to a bill before the
State Senate changing it so as TO
make the Parish Superintendents
elective by the people. The peo-
pie, of right. should be allowed to
elect their Parish Superintendent
and all other officials, and the day
will soon come when they will
have that privilege, but the power
and influence now enjoyed by the
so-called Department of Educa-
tiun, 10 So gr. at that We have no
idea that it will permit the "igno-

game for the New York City cham

Yankees, which was to have been
played at the Polo grounds today,
has been postponed on account of
rain. The postponement greatly dis
appointed the Yankees, who, after

believed they had the Giants on the
run. The series now stands three to
two in favor Of the Giants, with one
tied game.
