Prof. E. B. Benny, former leader of
one of the United States military bands,
has been in the city this week in view
of recognizing our band. Prof. Benny
comes well recommended, and he would
like to hold a meeting with the forla-

terested, on Sunday, December 81, at
two O'Clock in the Town Hall. Inasmuch
as our boys have instruments and a
fair knowledge of music, it would re-

the boys little assistance. Colfax
needs band, and your cooperation
can enable our boys to materialize their
efforts. Do your part and the band

be supplanted by Prof. DeMoss,
until this sudden development.
We have understood that Prof.
w. w. Tison was an applicant
for the position, in case the peo-
pie desired a change from Prof.
Warmers administration; also
that Prof. DeMoss was not a
candidate for the position-had
said he would not have the office
and that he has canvassed and
urged Mr.. Tison for the position
for the past six months or more.
Mr.. Tison has been in Grant
parish for the past week, max
ing his position known to the
members Of the board, and urg-
ing that if the board and the
people desire a change he is the
logical applicant. He holds a
certificate from the State de-
partment of education as to his
eligibility and competency to be
superintendent of education in
any of the parishes.
Mr.. Tison is a native of Grant
parish, and is in every way COM
petent and worthy of the position.
At present he occupies the re-
sponsible position of principal in
the Marksville high school. He
is a local product that has made
good" and Grant parish would
honor herself by honoring one
of her sons, in case a change in
superintendent is found desir-
able. There is no occasion to GO
into another state in order to get
a competent and acceptable man
to manage and control the parish
schools, and it would be a serious
mistake to do so.
We hope the members of the
school board will not act hastily
or rashlv in this matter There
is no good reason why they
should feel bound by cabal or in
trigue to act at this time. If we
are to have a change, let us have
a full and free discussion of the
subject, a referendum before all
the people, and do not have it
rushed through at the behest Of
a biased few.

The Parish Superintendent Controversy


the office of Superintendent Of
Public Education, by. the entry
of Prof. ]. r. DeMoss into the
lists as a candidate to succeed
Prof. ]. N. Warner, who has &C.
cupied the position for the past
twelve years, with eminent cred
it to himself and satisfaction to
the people.
Mr.. Warner, who is a native
Louisianian, reared and educated
in our common schools, and hav-
ing only the moderate attain
ments to be acquired in such. has
proven himself to be remark
ably efficient organizer of teach
ers and a successful builder Of
schools. During his administra-
ton he has built and equipped
fifty or sixty school houses in
Grant parish, and, not only so,
by his untiring energy and zeal
in the interest of the schools, he
has doubled the capacity of the
school buildings, and more than
doubled the attainments and eff
ficiency of the teachers.
The work of Prof. Warner has
perhaps received more compli-
ments from state educators and
inspectors than any of the parish
superintendent, and his meth
DDS and energetic zeal in behalf
of the schools have been COM
mended as worthy of imitation.
This has been SO marked and no.
torious that thoughtful and rep
resentative citizens have come
to regard his removal as little
less than a public calamity.
1t is. therefore, with great sur
prise and considerable displeas-
ure that the people of Grant par
ish have learned that within the
past few days a majority of the
members of the school board
have "pledg ed" themselves
in writing to vote for Prof. De
Moss for superintendent at the
January meeting of the board.
Just how this remarkable sew
ing up" of the members was
obtained we do not exactly I'M

self, has written Prof. DeMoss a
letter, refusing to be bound in
any such undignified fashion,
and demanding his right to act
after having full and free ex-
preston from the people of his
ward. He intimates by his act
ion that the influence brought to
bear on him was not a free voice
of the people of his ward, and
for that reason he repudiates the
sharp practice by which he was
deceived.

TO RAISE $S,O0O,oOO FUND.
American Campaign for Relief Of
Starving Ar1nenians.

washington, Oct. 1.-THE great
est American relief campaign to be
undertaken since the organization of
the Belgian Relief Fund was launch
ed to-day by the American Commits
sion for Armenian and Syrian Re-
lief. An exhaustive summary of the
whole Armenian and Syrian situa-
ton was made public and will be
sent to ministers of 10000 churches
all over the country and to many
leading citizens and relief organiZa-
tions. A fund of $5,OO0,0OO is call
ed for to relieve 100000 destitute,
eXiled and starving Armenians and
Syrians, scattered broadcast over
Turkey, Persia, Syria and Palestine.
The appeal declares that of nearly
100000 Armenians originally in
their native country, three quarters
Of million have been massacred or
have died Of wounds, disease or ex-
haustion since the war began.
The State Department, through ur-
gent negotiations, recently obtained
Turkeys consent to extension Of
American relief provided it is dis
tributed Jointly by the American
Red Gross and the Turkish Red
Crescent. To-day it was announced
that the allied blockade had been
lifted to allow passage Of the sup
plies. October 81 and 90 have been
set aside by proclamation of Presi-
dent Wilson as relief days, and the
appeal being sent broadcast by the
committee calls for sermons in
every pulpit of the country and in
every newspaper.
