The Inconsistencies and Absurdiiies oil
the Parker Supporters

the mel OoPPOhs~ /
The Parker supporters are
hard put to 1t for campaign ar
guments in his defense. and they
blow hot and cold with the same
breath. First they abuse Mayor
Behrman, of New Orleans, and
villify his administration as their
chief campaign shibboleth, and
then they turn around and pa
rade his so-called endorsement"
of parker as valuable asset
the utterance of a man of stand
ing and influence.
They are absurdly inconsistent
= in both instances. Martin Behr-
man could not be mayor of New
Orleans il he was not elected and
supported by the business inter-
ests and the majority Of the vot-
ers and good people of that city.
The citizens of New Orleans will
not submit to any administration
that is not satisfactory to them.
This writer can recollect three
distinct revolutions in that City
in the last forty years. in which
now MAYORS and councilmen
were elected and the old set
kicked out. If Berhman suits
them the whole State cannot turn
him out. There must be some
good in him to be reelected fol
several successive terms.
Another thing, the city of New
Orleans at this minute, unde1
Behrman's administration, i

corporated school district will be called
upon at the annual school district meet.
ing July Is to raise substantial amount
of money above the amount raised last
year.
A petition is in circulation for sigma
lures asking the prudential committee
to insert in the warrant for the annual
meeting an article which is in substance
to see if the district will pay to each
new teacher the coming year an increase
of $50 and to each teacher now on the
faculty who continues on the faculty an
increase of 500.
This is understood to call for an in
crease in addition to whatever addition
al salary has been contemplated by the
school board and would amount to ap.
proximately $500.
The school board which has realized
the necessity of increasing the salaries
in order to keep the teachers. has made
gradual increase from year to year,
but has not paid such increases as have
been paid in many other places.
This year the board will ask for rs
cent tax rate instead of the 69.cent rate
of last year. This would raise an addi-
tional $4,000, which the board plans to
apply to salaries in amounts ranging
from $50 to $3.50.
If the increases asked for in the petit
tion are voted as well and the 75-cent
tax rate this would require about 81 500.

JAPAN AUTHORITIES ALARMED.
Over Development of Extreme Socialist
Movement in Japan.

Toxic, May % Correspondent of the
Associated Press Japanese authorities
are somewhat disturbed over what looks
like an organized effort to start an e&
IRENE socialist movement in this coun-
try. Several secret meetings have been
held at which speakers have proclaimed
radical doctrine, clothing their remarks
in menaeing, though yelled language. A
number of agitators are reported to have
circulated in the crowds at the indus
trial city of Osaka during a recent cele
bration of the attainment of majority
Of the crown prince.
The police and gendarmerie are active
ly engaged in the search for dangerous
thought propagandists. Recently post
cards propagating radical socalistic prin-
ciples have been sent out from Toxic TO
petty officers and men of all army diyi-
sions throughout the empire.
Urgent instructions were sent to all
gendarmeries and stations to start
searches for the offenders and TO take
strict measures for the prevention of
the spread Of dangerous though" among
the army. Domiciliary searches were
carried out in all directions, but very
few copies of the propaganda postcards
were seized, despite the strenuous eff
forts of the authorities.
The postcards were printed in old
style types and all bear the postmarks Of
Yotsuya and Oyaha postoffice in Toxic.
No trace has been found so far as to the
authors.
Mr. Homma, chief secretary Of the
metropolitan police board, in state.
