TERRACE WORK.

That feature of the Farmers Con,
ference at Baton Rouge next week,
where the offer is made to give the
farmers practical instruction in ter
race work, the laying of levels on
hill land, is of highest Importance
1t is possible to confer untold bene
fit, if taken advantage of, not only
to the farmers but to the land itself
which is the Inheritance OF future
generations. Ignorant manipulation
of hillsides in agriculture has, and
will, cause untold ruin, washing the
land into deep gullies and barren "a
vines, while scientific handling Of
these hillsides can cause them to re-
pay cultivation to such bountiful ex
tent until every hill in the highlands
will rival in vegetation the hanging
gardens Of Babylon.
This offer alone should bring DIG
attendance of farmers to Baton
Rouge.

WHY ARE CONVERTS NOT
WANTED?

The Picayune and some others are|
much exercised over the reported COM
version of $500 Louisiana Republic
cans to Democracy. 1t is anoma,
lous not to welcome converts to any
sect or party-propaganda is the life
Of either-but in the present in-
stance only treachery and disaster
are perceived in the situation: ut
most danger to the party. Most of
the thirty-five hundred are merely
returning to the fold, having wan.
|dered away for a brief time only.
Instead of there being joy over the
sinner that repenteth, there is weep
ling and wailing and gnashing OF
teeth.
Why?
1t is not Republicans but their par
tvs policy and principles to which
good Democrats object. Therefore
when Republicans leave their party
and embrace Democratic doctrine,
there is no good reason for not wei
coming them heartily. Their mum
bers are not such as to threaten, in
case of insincerity, the stability OF
the Democratic party, while they dc
accomplish the great good, from q
i true Democrats standpoint of wreck
ing the Republican party in Louisi
ana.

The opening of the last three
weeks of the state primary cam
paign, finds Congressman A. P. Pujo
candidate for United States Senator
lin a commanding position. His high
standing in his profession, his splen'
did record as a Representative OF
the Seventh Congressional District
his frank and manly stand ON public
matters and his recognized ability
have made new supporters for him
daily. His advocacy Of Judge Hairs
election insures him almost a solid
vote from the Hall supporters IL
[ both city and country, and his open
ness and fairness in proclaiming his
1 allegiance, have won friends for him
even among the opponents of Judge
Hall. Louisiana likes a man who is
| not afraid to take an open stand OF
any public question, and whose posi-
ltion thereon Does Not Vary With
Each Parish He Visits.

NOT ADMIRED At WA SH-
INGTON.

Staff correspondence from Wash
ngton to the Times-Democrat says
strongly that national leaders Of the
Democratic party, with whom Mr.
Sanders claims such standing and in
fluence are more disposed to regard
aim as a Judas or a Benedict Ar
hold on account of his Influencing
the Louisiana Legislature to reject
he income tax. Champ Clark, fol
example, remembers how he tele,
,raphed in vain to members OF that
Legislature that the amendment be-
ore them for ratification was i'm &C
,ordance with the Denver platform
If the Democratic party. 1t will be
,ecalled also that Jared Young San
ders was a delegate to the DenVe:
convention. and therefore morally
bound to abide by it's decisions. Bu'
traitor in one thing, traitor in all
lis the story of his career. Even his
much-vaunted fidelity to his friends
lis clearly traceable in every IN
stance that has come under public
observation to the plain and simple
rule of turning it to his own adVan
tage.
Be that as it may however, the
picture of his warm reception al
Washington-by Democrats-if 8
fatuous constituency should SEND
him thither is but myth, of the
pattern of the fictitious pledges OF
his gubernatorial campaign. Jared

JUDGE LAwRAsoN PROTESTS.

-
Elsewhere is published Judge Law
rason's protest, against certain parts
of an editorial last week. In this
he formally denies that it is CALLING
to him to support Mr.. Michel in the
circumstances brought out since the
first announcement of his support OF
THAT candidate. We, like others OF
his friends, were disposed to give
Judge Lawrason the benefit of that
doubt, but he, with his own hand'
sets aside the possibility of any ones
longer doing so. He says that Mr..
Michel is none Of these that the pub
lie records have shown him to be.
But Judge Lawrason may say this,
and may even think that he thinks
so, but he has too long dwelt among
|us-the Christian gentleman, the
/ beau ideal of most Of us OF what is
fine and true, for us yet to believe
that he would participate in a Chef
Menteur or White Lake deal, that
/ he would use the knowledge, say,
| that comes to him as president OF his
bank, to his private advantage before
4 the parties in interest could do So
] No, we will not, we do not believe
/ it. Judge Lawrason may charitably
Scondone Mr.. Michels breaches OF on
fetal ethics but no one must think
Z he would do any thing like that him
self.
The most hopeful words in Judge
ALawrason's protest is when he says;
I "AND MY SUPPORT OF MICHEL
DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT
SHOULD ABUSE AND INSULT HIS
8oPPoNENTs."
This is indeed a strong rebuke tt
his political comrades-to Mr.. Et
ward Rightor, the Picayune and 9th
ers. 1t is the best message from
THE country" heard in some time
4 1t is like apples of gold in pic
lures of silver" delight to all fail
minded persons, who consider that il
! is abuse to pry into a mans pri
waite affairs, but that public deeds Az
right subjects for discussion and crit
icism.

We beg the esteemed NO. State

We beg the esteemed NO. States
% note that we did not say judge
r,awrason was under moral obllga'
ltion to support Michel because ne
accepted appointment to the State
Board of Education. What We did
say was that his friends are sad
lly aware that Judge LawIalon IN
taking appointment from Gov San
Iders on the State Board Of Educa-
ton became identified with that
boards tremendously expensive mis-
AXE in changing the textbooks in
the public schools, and therefore
that he is under moral obligation,
as well as for seeming consistency,
to support the machine"
This is for a specific reason given.
we cannot admit that mans accept
ling appointment on any state, or 9TH
Ter public, board carries with it any
obligation to become the henchman
lof the executive, who appoints him.
This vicious principle of fancied obi
CATION in the circumstances causes
the major part Of the dangers Of the
sappointive system. A man accept
ling appointment, if he realizes his
competency, should also feel assur,
/ ed that he gives value for value AS
for the incompetent man, there is
small wonder that he feels an obi
CATION, creditable neither to himself
/ nor the executive who appoints him.
Again, if a man gives of his own
to a friend, then is the friend under
direct obligation, but if a man gives
his friend what is another's then lis
the obligation to that other, and not
| to the man who held the gift in trust
I at his disposal. This is sound in
ethics, and principle as well.
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1912-01-06

somewhat inconsistent now to ex-
press a desire for his retirement.
But such is the case only in seem
ing. Murphy J. Foster as hero,
all efforts at bribery of
the Louisiana State Lottery, and
later as governor taking up the
work of his Democratic predecess-s !
ors in building up stable state gov
eminent is different in his every
from Murphy ]. Eos
tire of later years, gradually deterio-
rating under the baneful Influences
of a plenitude Of power, creating and
a. state machine that
makes democratic rule but a name
and a figure of speech, and Withal,
retaining his hold upon the peoples /
affections so that he is ratsed-or
more truly retired-to the United
States Senate, where he has filled
his time without securing renown for
himself or prestige for Louisiana.
His career presents these contrasts
strongly, and if the people of Louis
lana were not blinded by the old /
friendship and hero worship, they
would already have realized that
Murphy J. Foster of twenty years
ago was of bigger proportions than
Senator Foster of to-day. Time and
ong holding of the scepter of power
nave turned the smaller end OF the
.elescope upon him, in fact as we'll
rs in seeming.
But even more than his failure toI
'ealize at Washington the hopes and|
'ightful expectations Of his people,
s the fact, not always obvious butt
existent nevertheless, that he has|
never taken his hand from the REIN
i Of Louisiana politics. Others may
have fancied that they held the relns
but they are like the child whom al
father permits to play at driving
while he himself holds the lines far
her up, Senator Foster has never
really let go OF the reins. With al
popularity only equaled by Nicholas
and McEnery in Louisiana history,
he has kept his hold upon events.
BY grace of Murphy Foster, jared
Sanders became governor OF Loufil
ana, for none can doubt that if Fos-
ter had opposed him, the pretenslons
Of Sanders would have been nipped
in the very bud. When Sanders am
bition overran itself to the United
States Senate, it seemed as If SEN
ator Fosters tenure of office was
threatened. But this was crudely
reckoned against his Machiavelllan
brain. He took trip through NorNh
Louisiana, and then followed the
battle of Monroe" even as from the
Wandering Jews footsteps fell plagu
The battle carrying the first and only
suggestion of weakness in his oppo-
1ent that many years Of public ser
vice had developed.
Other feats Of political legerdemala
on his part are apparent. II II
were only equally apparent to the
voters of Louisiana how large a
share he has had in perfecting the
machine in this state as an nstru,
ment Of graft and oppression ne
would be voted an easy-chair in ST.
Mary rather than be returned to the
one in Washington that he has occu'
pied of late years.

THE WORKINGS OF THE
MARKS BILL.

Many discuss the Marks bill. Few
really understand it. This is shown {
by the many errors that public
speakers fall into when making refer
ence to it. The Marks bill is quiteE
bad enough to be damned on its
own deserts without imputing any
greater evil to it. On the other
hand, the most intelligent critics,
however severe, of the Marks bill,
are not disposed to say it is all bad
CosgroVe's therefore is hOpelesslyI
wrong in the assertion that Judge
Halls and the Good Government
Leagues disapproyal Of the Marks
bill attaches to the clause which rel
quires that parish superintendent
shall be practical educators. No we'll
meaning person wants a return toI
the time when the important officeI
of parish superintendent Of schools
was given in most cases to any man
whether educated or uneduCated, WhoI
had the inclination to ask for it, anGI
the political influence to secure it.
In those days was chaos. The edu'I
cational world was being shaped out
Of nothing and less than nothing
No one desires return to such con.
ditions.
But a law that gives the Local
board a right to appoint parish
superintendent, and then delegates to
a higher power (the state boarO the
right to discharge him is not cor
rect in principle. No merchant
would consent to hire a clerk whom
he could not discharge at will. No
woman would have a cook UNDER
such conditions. But such the Marks
bill imposes on the local School
Boards.
The superintendent has the sole
right to nominate teachers. What
merchant would allow his paid book,
keeper to select the clerks, or what
hOuse.keeper would give the cook the
privilege of hiring other help? The
theory of course is that superintend-
ents alone are competent to decide
upon the qualifications of teachers,
but with the present system OF
grade certificates, awarded after eA
animation, the task is not so tech
niCal matter as it is made to ap'
pear. A very little observation Will
convince any one that parish super
inteendents are as vulnerable to chal
ges of bad judgment, trades, and ia,
voritism as school boards formerly
were. In fact the ratio is as ten OF
twelve to one that these superintend-
ents are even more liable to error,
since the members of a board must
first be agreed before they can fix
upon the choice of teachers.
But the worst feature of the Marks
bill is that a parish superintendent
being answerable to the State, and
not to his parish board, is raised
above the latter and becomes super
iOr to the board that employs him.
He is not a superintendent as the
name implies, but the local suzeraln
of the schools, owing his fealty to &
more distant power
These are the provisions OF the
Marks bill that have made it posi-
BILE to convert the public schools in
to a close corporation, with such eX
elusive powers, that the school rep
resentatives chosen by the people
are debarred from any practical Shar
in the management For these rea'
sons the Marks bill is disapproved:
not that parish superintendent are
required to be practical educators.
