EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. D. WATSON

THE Inauguration of Governor Sulzer, Of
New DIRK, has attracted more attention
than is usually given to the common function
OF putting new governor in office, and the
attention has been drawn to the Sulzer. not
because of the pomp and display usually com
mon on such occasions, but by the lack of
pOmp and display.
Instead OF the usual parade headed by the
military of the glitter of bayonets
and brass buttons-instead Of riding in a
handsome carriage drawn by MAGNIFICENT
steeds-Sulzer walked to the Capitol as an
ordinary man would do, who was going there
on ordinary business, and took the oath of
office without going through any unnecessary
formalities
Topped in a common SLOUGH hat the new
governor footed it from where he was stop
ping to the place where he was to be sworn
in, and was sworn in, just as business man
would go before a magistrate and make an
affidavit
1t is true that Ex-Governor Dix almost
tainted when SuZer announced to him that
they would ''walk,' for while Dix was a
Democratic governor in name he did not be-
lieve In carry the practice of Democracy to
the extent of walking on such an occasion of
state.
No doubt it was a striking contrast to see
the retlr1ng and incoming governors march
ing down the streets of Albany-to see Dix
topped In the customary silk hat and clad in
the usual frock coat-dressed in style for the
occasion-keeping step with Sulzer, topped
with his SLOUGH hat, wearing flowing string
neck tie, and clad in his everyday suit Of
clothes-Dix spick and span-Sulzer long and
gangling ambling along in an Abe Lincoln
manner of simplicity.
But isn't it strange that the Inauguration
of a Democratic Governor with such Jeffer-
sonian simplicity would attract so much
attention and comment in this Republic of
ours?
Instead of the Sulzer style being common
In a country where it should be common, we
express as much surprise at such as would
have been expressed in Europe had King
George been crowned with similar simplicity
In spite of the fact that many of the Demo-
cratic papers are denying that Mr. Bryan had
an idea of causing friction within the party
when he published his editorial advocating
the doing away with the seniority rule In Con-
gress, the New York Times, which is very
close to Governor Wilson, insists that Mr.
Bryan did. with malice aforethought, hope to
create dissension and thereby make impossible
a record of achievement.
In support of this belief the Times points
out that the Progressive Democrats in Con-
gress have under advisement a plan that
would not rob the older members of their
chairmanships because of their lack of pro-
orrncCive vinwS-a nlan that would recOOnizo

their seniority by giving them the chairman
ships-but would make the committees under
control of the progressives by placing ma
Jorlty OF progresslves on the committees pre-
sided over by these chairmen.
The Times is of the belief and undoubtedly
has right to be, that what Mr. Bryan meant
by dISregardlng the rule of seniority, and
placing to the front the progressives, was not
SO much the prOgressives as we know them,
but what Mr.. Bryan terms progressives, and
that means those who are worshippers of Mr.
Bryan.
10 make long story short, Mr.. Bryan
classes those as progressives who swallow the
Bryan doctrine as dosed out by Bryan. and
ne classes those as not progressives who bal1
at the Bryan pill.
When Mr.. Bryan advised the overthrow of
the seniority rule and the placing at the head
OF the different committees progressives. he
really meant the overthrow of the seniority
rule and the placing at the head of the diff
ferent committees those who are followers of
Bryan, and would look to Bryan for leader
ship throughout the coming session Of Con-
gress
Such plan would mean first of all the
overthrow of Champ Clark from the Speaker
ship and the overthrow of Underwood from
the Guardianship of the Ways and Means
COMMITTEE, which carries with it the House
Leadership, and it would be followed in the
Senate by the overthrow of the Senators whom
Mr. Bryan cannot control.
With such a split as this in the Democratic
ranks there would be nothing whatever ac-
complished, and when time for the next NOM
lnatiOn rolls around the Democrats would be
looking for another man to succeed Wilson,
Of course, upon such an occasion Mr..
Bryan would be willing to make more sacri-
fees and again lead the forces of Democracy
and lead them to another Waterloo.

WORKING TO PREVENT FIRES

Since it's formation the Louisiana
State Society for the Reduction of Fire
Waste has successfully inspected New
Orleans, Lake Charles, Crowley, Alex
andria, Monroe, Mansfield, New Iberia
and Hammond These inspections
have been made carefully by men who
understand the work and they have
had the approval and assistance OF
State Fire Marshal Trousdale and his
force. The scope of the inspections
cover conditions of premises, alley
ways, ETC., from the standpoint of trash
and inflammable material Special at
tention is given to defective fues and
electric wiring. Carelessness in the
handling of combustibles and the dam
gerous proximity of stoves and heat
ing apparatus to woodwork or inflam-
mable material is noted and condemn
ed The fire departments are care
fully supervised and suggestions made
for their improvement. Great impor-
lance is naturally attached to the wa
ter supply and every facility possessed
by the town or the city for the eXtin-
guishment of fires. In fact, anything
that would tend to cause a fire and ev-
cry precaution against a fire is consid
cred in the work done by the inspect
ore
This work of the Louisiana State
Society for the Reduction of Fire Waste
is of the most valuable description. 1t
places Louisiana in line with the pro-
gressive movement of the day in this
country This movement proclaims
that fire prevention is of more import.
ance than fire extinguishment. The OBJ
jects of the Society are altruistic and
should appeal to every man who takes
an interest in the welfare of his State.
Its possibilities for good are tremen-
dous and our people could not be en-
gagged in more public spirited and
worthy public enterprise.
Information regarding membership
will be furnished upon application to
the Secretary, T. D. Wharton, L. & L.
& G. Building, New Orleans.

SWINGING TO OPPOSITE
EXTREME,

Speaking of the old-time education
followed by boys who were destined
for business, a writer in the Popular
Science Monthly says:
who seriously cares about long
hand writing, when actual business to-
day is done by the aid of shorthand
and the typewriter? What is the use
of drilling boy into becoming a fairly
accurate adding machine when one can
buy an absolutely accurate metal one
for a hundred dollars? Why lay so
much stress upon errand running when
the telephone is a far more efficient
messenger? Why talk about learning
all the ramifications of an industry,
when the main hope of business sue
cess Is in being first-rate specialist?
Why even specify that the boy shall
know how to WELD a broom, when the
incorporated cleaning company will
sweep the offices, and sweep them
well, for far less money than the
wages OF the veriest greenhorn?"
This is expressed so pithily, so
smartly that at first glance, the reader
will not observe the flaw in it's
practically. To be sure this is the
age of specialism, and no one can gain
say the s0undness of the proposition
that the specialist can go farther, by
the very nature of the case, in his par
ticular branch, than were he to spread
over more lines of study or endeavor.
But this does not preclude the import
ance of general knowledge on sub.
Jects germane to his business. The
medical specialist for instance must
not alone know the eye, or the ear,
his speciality, but must have general
practitioners training as foundation,
or else he will be but a sorry oculist
or aurist. The lawyer whose speciality
Is pleading in court must know the
law. And so on with every profession,
trade, or business that is specialized.
There is the foundation that all must
acquire. which going back to first prin.
ciples, is the plain rudiments of educa-
ton, reading, writing, spelling, and
arithmetic. These four have long been
the groundwork of education and there
is no reason to expect that modern
methods will be able to displace them.
1t is specious to suggest that the
adding machine. shorthand and the
typewriter replace a drilling in arith
