SUCH A LEVEL HEAD!

When one of the chief officers OF
the Democratic national committee
was asked as to the principal agen,
cies in the sweeping victory of Wood
row Wilson he replied;
THE chief credit for the sweep
ing victory is due to the earnest
and intelligent support of the press
Of the country. For the first time
in a generation a majority of the
newspapers supported the Democrat
ic ticket. The day of the political Or
ator has not passed, and never will
pass, but every year the daily and
weekly line upon line of the news
papers weighs momre with the vot-
ers than the occasional speech"

In view of the Inauguration of the
parcel post on Jan. /, it is announc-
Gu that a parcel post map and a par

postmaster, after which they will be
placed on sale to the public at a. nom

and plants will be permitted in the
parcel post mail under regulations as
to size and weight applicable to 9TH
er parcel post packages, but at the
rate Of postage one cent for two

A parcel not more than feet 81
inches in length may measure as |

be made by means of a six-foot tape
line, furnished to the postmasters by

UNREASONABLE FEAR.

Excited objection is made by the
Baton Rouge Board of Trade against
the placing of tubercular convicts
there. This is unfortunate. It is
making a mountain out of a mOlehill,
as the number of such patients is
not large comparatively, and they
can be treated more successfully at
the capital, which is higher and drier
than Angola. 1t is further unfor'.u
nate since it tends to heighten the
fear Of coming in contact with suf-
ferers from tuberculosis, as if this
disease were as contagious as scarlet
fever or smallpox. AS a matter of
fact it is infectious, but not conta-
glous, and simple sanitary precautions
may protect those who are thrown
with the White Plaques victims. It
is quite bad enough to be such a pa
tlent, but to be an object of unneces-
Sary fear and aversion is worse.
There is no reason to suppose thar
convicts will spread the
disease at Baton Rouge. Government
tai precautions are usually twice as
stringent as private ones, and the
chances all are that there are houses
Of infection at the capital far more
of menace to public health than is
he convict camp.

WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION?

1t transpires that A. c. Bernard,
who was appointed high school Wis
jtOr by the new State Board of Ed
ucatiOn, has received no salary since
August, and the reasons therefor are
these. Briefly stated, it must be re-
called that he superseded Leo FaV-
rot, in opposition to the wishes and
vote Of Supt. Harris. Friends of the
opposition at the time intimated that
the General Education Board, that
pays the high school visitors salary,
would object to the removal of Mr.
FaVrOt and would possibly decline 10
pay the salary Of his successor. And
thus it has turned out. The board
has simply failed to meet the ex-
penses of Mr.. Bernard, andhas in
consequence put the State Board in a
dilemma, as the latter has no author
ity to employ high school visitor,
such official not being recognized ty
state law.
What the State Board will do re-
mains to be seen, but the very awk-
ward incident emphasizes especially
the point that in the educational sys.
TEN of the state no subordinate Of
ttcer should be employed who is paid
from some source outside of the
state, as it at once introduces the
question of divided authority, ever
a source of friction and annoyance. 1T
Is plain that high school visitor
should be subject to the wishes Of |
the State Superintendent and The
State Board of Education, and it is
equally plain that if some power, out
side and beyond the State, holds the
purse strings, then is their apparent
authority vain sham, and a situa-
ton is produced intolerable to a
proud state.
If the high schools of Louisiana
need a visitor" then let the State
pay as well as select such an official.
1t may be said in passing that one
Is not necessary. 1t merely provides
another wheel within a wheel for
the ingenious and complicated school
machine that has had such driving
power in the politics of Louisiana.
The present situation proves this. So
long as all these school officials were
together in politics all went well, but
30 soon as a new factor is introduce
ed, there is this queer stoppage al ;
though there is no question raised of
nalfeasance or nonfeasance. One nat .
rally asks: At whose instigation
ioes the General Board object to Mr..
3eTnard? Why should it be anything
o the Board who does the work, so =,
ong as it is we'll done?
The situation is interesting, be- q
aose there is so much that does not
nee? the eye, but is highly sugges- h
i've.

Billie Deutsch, the colored fisher
man and river worker, has disappear
ed and indications point to the con-
clusion that he was drowned. He
was employed as Waterman of some
timber RATS in the river when, one
day last week, he failed to come in
after his nights work. His lanterns
on the RATS were left burning. A
day or two afterwards his boat and
oars with his coat were found drift
ing down about Port Hickey. Deutsch
was a respectable colored man of
the old school and his tragic ending
IS regretted by his white friends.
