ALL, OVER LOUISIANA
Sufficient Force Will Be Put to Work
Grading Papers.

Western Newspaper Union News serviee
Baton Rouge.-The examining com
mittee of the Department OF Educa-
ton has called In sufficient assistance
to enable it to examine and grade the
papers of the applicants for teachers
certificates before the opening OF the
school. A staff Of a dozen eminent
educators have been called in by State
Superintendent Harris and Chairman
Commit, of the examining committee,
and they are now at work grading the
papers.
There will not be the confusion this
year that there was last at the open
ing of the school. It will be remem-
tered that last year over the protest
OF Mr.. Harris the Btate Board OF
Education appointed an examining
committee Of active school teachers.
II was about December before this
committee finished the work Of grad
ing the papers. Teachers had to be
allowed to begin the work OF teach
ing whether they had certificates or
not, and if, in the middle of the SEES
sion, after the committee had finish
ed grading the papers, it was found
that the teacher had failed, she was
forced to quit In some schools there
was a great deal of confusion. The
State Board of Education later on
adopted the view of State superin
tendent Harris, dismissed the teachers
committee, and named a committee
headed by Mr.. Coniff, with power II
increase his staff to any number ne
cessary to grade promptly the papers
AS a result there will be no delay OF
confusion when school opens. Every
teacher will know whether or not SHE
passed.

Two Notes to Washington.

Senior Urrutia confirmed the fact
that an exchange of notes had taken
place. Two notes from Mexico had
been sent to Washington. The first
was a reply to that delivered by Mr..
Lind. This note included the demand
for recognition of Mexico.
The second note was sent direct to
Washington and demanded that re-
ply to the previous note be made De-
fore midnight.
This is regarded here as an ulti-
matum.
One official in discussing the latter
note said that Mexico had reached the
point where she must either bow her
head in humiliation before the United
States or adopt an attitude of de-
fiance. The first contingency, he add
ed, was regarded as impossible.
Mr.. Lind has forwarded General
Huerta's answer to Washington and is
awaiting reply.
Not Admit Receipt of Note.
All those connected with the Ameri.
IAN embassy refused to admit the re-
| ceipt of the note, and that it had been
sent was not admitted officially by the
Mexican government At the en-
bassy there was an evident desire to
appear optimistic, and one was led to
believe that Mr.. Lind still hoped for
a continuation of the negotiations.
Those familiar with the workings of
| the Mexican administration expressed
doubt as to the government again
opening the subject for discussion.
President Huerta's failure to live up
to what was regarded as the spirit of
his recent note, in which he said Mr.
Lind would be regarded as persona
non grata if he did not bring to Mexico
proper credentials, together with rec
ognition of the.republic by the United
States, had caused the public to be-
lieve there was a possibility that he
intended to receive with favor, in part
at least, the suggestions of the Wash
ingtOn administration.
Merely international Courtesy.
1t appears, however, that the Mexi
can governments unofficial reception
of Mr.. Lind by Minister of Foreign
Affairs Gamboa and the acceptance
by the foreign secretary of Mr.. Lind!
preliminary note was merely an exam
pie of international courtesy, due, per
haps, to desire of President Huert;
to make clear his record in developing
events.

ana, AS adopted at the Marksville con-
vention, has just been given out by
members OF the executive committee

unrestricted and equal suffrage for
men and women; more liberal appro-

ton; the abolition of the poll tax re-
quirement to vote, and making the
only requirement that of being regis
tered six months prior to the election

pate; the abolition of the property

litical or public offices and making
registered voters eligible to hold any
office to be voted for by the people in
the political subdivision in which he
may become a candidate; that a pen
atty be encated for the violation OF act
No. 22S, session Of 1908, relative to the
issuance Of coupons, merchandise

First Rice Harvested.

Welsh. John Bowling initiated this
years harvest by cutting some Hon.
duras rice recently, but was forced
to stop on account of the heavy rains.
The crops in general are good, es-
pecially corn, of which there is more
than ever this year With the slogan
of the Chamber of Commerce, "Get
Together on More Corn anb Less
Rice" it is safe to say that this parish
will be in position to export rather
than import feed in the next two
years.
