BOTH PARTLY RIGHT.

1t Is quite possible that Col. Har
Eison Parker and DR.. Oscar Bowling
are both right in the penitentiary ant
Angola state farm inspection matter
DR., Bowling views thes prisons with
the eyes Of sanitarian solely. He
knows theoretically what Is correct
for the highest well-being of human
kind, and IN making inspection he
gives those theories full expression,
as only by aiming at the best can he
hope to accomplish anything.
On the other hand, Col. Parker and
his colleagues OF the Board of Con-
troll must by the necessities of the
ease, deal with conditions, not the
cries, and having only limited means
at command. must make the best OF
what they have. No doubt Col. Par
Ker would be glad to have a modern
prison, perfectly clean and sanitary
IN every respect, but the means tn
this end are out of reach. Instead
there are old buildings, inadequate
funds, and the prime necessity al.
ways pressing Ito make things do"
Hence while the scientific santa
ran finds much to condemn, the
practical man Of affairs is doing what
is practicable.

THE TWO CONVICTIONS.

One could not have been present
at the district court room Saturday
night, when the jury Of IL, at almost
the midnight hour, brought in a YER
dict that will In the end condemn
Dudley L. Weber, prominent young
lawyer highly educated, well con-
nected, with many friends, to con.
vict's cell-no one, we say, could have
been present and heard the verdict,
and not felt deeply the tragedy of
it all.
Like the conviction before it of Ed
ward Robertson, young man, whose
father and grandfather had served
with distinction in the halls of the
United States congress, it brought
sorrow and distress to the innocent
and the good, but, Like the first, it
vindicated law and order in Baton
Rouge.
The two trials told all Of Louisiana
that the machinery Of the law In Bat.
on Rouge grinds even Justice to the
high and prominent. as we'll as to
The poor and lowly. For law enforce
ment Baton Rouge has not had the
best Of reputation. But by the Rob.
ertson and Weber convictions It
makes an advance step in law en-
forcement that it is we'll that the
community should make.
In both cases the juries had stern
and hard duties to perform-made
the harder because both of the young
men we're known personally to ma
Jority, II not all of the Jurors, and
because a verdict would place the
keeneSt suffering on the innocent,
to shield whom 1t Is the natural In.
stinct Of a man. The jurors had a
duty to perform as good citizens and
as men, and the result had unques-
tionably been to the advancement

NOT SECTIONAL AND POLITICAL

The Era Club is not reflecting Oil
the qualifications Of Mrs. r. c. Wick
life for the position now held by
Miss LathrOp, president Of the Chtld's
Labor Bureau. 1t contends that there
Is no good reason for displacing Miss
Lathrop; and that the considerations
urged are sectional and political, and
should not prevail. It's general prop
osltion Is correct.-MOrgan City Out.
look.
AS the above paper is the only
one In Louisiana that has had a
good word to say for the Era Club,
its remarks are worthy of reproduc-
ton on the ground Of novelty alone.
At first blush it would appear that
this general proposition" Of the Era
Club is correct, and it is certainly
one to which we would subscribe in
ordinary circumstances. If Miss Lath-
rop had distinguished herself by re-
markable service as the head OF the
Child Labor Bureau, we should be The
last to suggest that any influences,
political or sectional should dis.
turb her in the tenure of her posi-
ton. But Miss LathrOp, in spite Of
the twenty-five years of study and
preparation for this work, which aer
friends claim for her, has shown no
wonderful ability in the discharge Of
her duties, and therefore has estab-
llshed no presumption of the office,
as she might claim had she seen
long years Of service in the Bureau
or had done some great work there.
On the other hand, lest it be urg-
ed that she has been in office too
short time to accomplish anything,
1t should be answered that it IS
passing strange that she should, af-
ter such long preparation, bring 10
the work no well-devised plans, no
original scheme for the conduct OIL
the Bureau. The fact that she has
not done so is another proof that
she should not pre-empt this posi-.
ton. Comparisons may be odious,
but those who know Mrs. Wickliffe
as a woman, both Of great originali.
ty and OF remarkable executive abil-
lily would have no fear In predicting
that she would not hold the office a |
year without accomplishing somethingl
OF note In the work.
And as a matter of fact, influences,
sectional and political, are not the
motives behind Mrs. Wickliffe's can
didacy. Her desire to find work on |
lines that her talents, sympathies
and energies would find fullest ex-
preston is THE MOTIVE that suE-
8eSted to her the work of the Chill
drens Bureau, and in the support.
which she has received, from people
who know her, both in the North and
the South, Democrats and Republi-
cans, show that 1t is not a sectional
oi political piece OF jobbery. Hence
the Era Clubs position Is indefensi-
Bile on these grounds, while their L.
horance Of Mrs. Wickliffe's aims and
qualifications convicts them of has.
ty judgment and of disloyalty to
Louisiana woman.
