SHAME ON US,

SHAME ON. U.s.
The voters. Of Louisiana WHO are
responsible for the defeat of The
proposed constitutional amendm ant
\ permitting women to serve on school
boards and boards governing institu-
tions of charity and correction, ought
to be ashamed Of their inconsider-
Late and unmanly action.
/ We boast of our southern chiyalry,
LOT our Difference to Wonankind, and
Yet We refuse to the intelligent, pub
lic-spirited and charity dispensing
/ women of the state the privilege
Insignificant to them, but of inesti-
mable value to the rising generation
and the homeless poor-of helping to
manage the public schools and the
public institutions where orphans and
| helpless aged people are cared for
and WayWard, youths are reclaimed
and led into paths of usefulness and
rectitude.
Any hulk of a man, no matter how
unworthy and untitled he tnay be for
such a place, can be school or
asylum director if he has enough pc
Flitlcal pull to be elected Or to get
an appointment, but the most capa-
Bile woman in the state is denied the
right to take part in this essentially
Woman's work simply because Of her
sex.
The amendment didn't propose to
give women the right to vote, nor
did it involve any innovation. It's
purpose was simply to restore the
status that existed before the adop-
tion Of the. constitution of 1893, for
the previous constitution did not con
fine the eligibility for these positions
to men. ;
By the rejection of this reasonable
and just proposition Louisiana has.
placed herself in a reactionary and K
indefensible attitude, and we regret
to confess that Ascension bears

Spanish Prime Minister Assassinated

4 - ~ = I. -
| Jose Canalejas, the Spanish pre-
mier, was shot and killed in the city
Of Madrid last Tuesday by an an
archist named Manuel Pardinas,
who committed suicide after he had
been seized by bystanders aad turn
ed over to the police. Senor
Canalejas had confided to friends
that he believed he would sooner
or later meet death in this manner.
he had been chiefly instrumental
in bringing about the separation of
church and state affairs in Spain,
and this was doubtless the pretext
for his assassination. The distin-
guished Victims remains were laid
to. rest Wednesday afternoon on
the Spanish Pantheon, with highest
honors. King Alfonso and Princes
Charles of Bourbon-Sieiles and Fer
dinand Of Bavaria walked behind
the hearse and 25,O0O people viewed
the obsequies. The death of the
prinls minister will not dissolve the

Minister Manuel Garcia Prieto viii

finest type of Spaniard and a great
statesman who had devoted himself
to ameliorating the condition of the
poor.
