EDWARD VII.

The death of the English king has been
something of surprise to the world.
though it was known for some time that
his health was failing. 1t is too soon as
yet, and not for some years will it be pos
sible to fully and properly appraise him
or his life work. His period of tutelage
was so long that the world did not give
him credit for being the man he was.
That very fact, however, developed in
him the traits of character most valuable
to himself and his people as constitu-
tional sovereign especially the confirmed
habit of self-restraint and keeping his
own counsel. It developed him into the
most tactful and successful diplomat of
his time; this not alone as between Great
Britain and other countries, but also as
between contending parties and varying
and conflicting interests within the en-
pire itself, much rarer and probably
more valuable accomplishment than the
former.
A most polished gentleman himself,
there can be no doubt that he was very
largely instrumental in bringing about the
improvement in the manners of the world
at large the last halt-century has seen.
This improvement has unquestionably
had reflex effect in morals, and the
standards as well as actions of the world
at large are most undoubtedly higher than
aforetime.
To have borne SO conspicuous part in
the uplift of the world at large is no small
part to have played in the record of the
race, and will Of itself make memorable
his reign, short as it was in years. His
last words, Il think have done my duty, y
show the heart of the man with the dig
nifty of the king.

St. vinesnt.s commencement.

Invitations have been issued for the an
nual commencement exercises of St. Vim
cents Institute. conducted by the Sisters

young ladies, namely: Misses Jeanne II.
Matthew, Hilda M Park, Gertrude F. Cook,
Una M. Leblanc and Sadie M. Robertson.
Miss Matthew will deliver the valedictory
of the graduating class, and Miss Park
will be the salutatorian. Owing to the
limited capacity of the auditorium, no
children will be admitted to the exer-
cises. 1t is also requested by the Sisters
that flowers be omitted.

THE LOUISIANA PRESS ASSOCIATION
AT oPELoUsAs.

The expectation that the thirty-frst an
nual meeting of the Louisiana Press AS
ISOLATION. at Opelousas, would be highly
enjoyable and edifying event was most
abundantly realized. There are no COM
munities anywhere that have more per-
feet understanding of the gentle art of
hospitality and entertainment than those
of the so-called Creole parishes of Louisi-
ana. and in this particular as well as
others the st. Landry metropolis merits
the claim to prominence and leadership
implied by her title of Queen City of the
Attakapas Prairies." Of all the many de-
lightful reunions of the associated repre-
sentatives of the press of this state, none
has surpassed those held at 0pelousas.

though this statement must not be I'M
defstuod as implying that anything was

Crowley, Alexandria and other towns.
While the attendance at the Opelous as
meeting was not as large as had been
hoped for, the deficiency was more than
made up by the notable success achieved
in every other respect. Between forty
and fifty publications were represented,
and questions of both practical and senti-
mental interest to the newspaper frater-
nifty and the people at large were dis
cussed and acted upon with degree of
perspicuity, public spirit and unanimity
that was creditable and gratifying to all

THE POLICE JURY VACANCY.

The name of Adolphe Meter is being
favorably mentioned in connection with
the vacancy existing in the member
ship of the police jury, caused by the
death of Michael Tobias, representative
of the third ward 1t is to be hoped that

better qualified for the place or whose
choice would rebound in greater degree
to the welfare of either the ward or the
parish at large Mr.. Meter has served
the municipality in the past as its rep
resentative in the school board, and the
invaluable service he rendered in that
capacity is we'll known to all who are con-
nected or conversant with the work of
public education in this parish That he
will make equally as capable and trust
worthy a police juror none can doubt, and
there will be general gratificati n
throughout the parish if he consents to
assume the duties of this important and
responsible position.
Mr.. Meter is not an aspirant for the Of
flee and it is not known definitely whether
he would accept the nomination were it
rendered him. but The Chief places his
name before the people with the confident
expectation that. like the patriotic and
public-spirited citizen he is, he will subor-
dinate his own interests and desires to the
common veal and yield to the solicitations
that will pour in upon him from all quar-
tiers to consent to stand for election to the
police jury, for efficient and satisfactory
service as member of which body he is
SO thoroughly qualified by reason of his
excellent capabilities and familiarity with
the affairs of the parish and his own
ward.
By all means let us have Adolphe Net
ter as our representative in the police
jury.
