Qne of our exqchinges has this
motto: "This papr is 'of the E
people, for the 0,ie-but by
the editor." We like the motto, L
It is a good one and it would be ti
well [that some people could C
understand that most papers are w
run in this manner and especially c1
should should this be understood it
in regard to The Era-Leader. n
The editor is responsible for n
what its columns contain and it c
is his purpose to do justice by hi
every one but he is not taking t4
advice from every one that, comes ii
along. If we have a news item, ii
. we print it regardless of what p
some one may think. This is our c
privilege. We owe it to our J
, readers to give them them the I
Snews and we expect to keep it t
Y lup. If you do not want your l
name in the paper be sure that
you do not do anything that will c
be interesting reading matter to
our readers. c

A Splendid Tribute.
HIIon. John H. Hinemon, former- a
ly State Superintendent of Public t
Education of the State of Arkan
sas, has this to say of Dr. J. B. c
Aswell:
"In my judgement, no man of
this decade has done more to
popularize public education and t
to improve the common and
especially the rural schools than a
Dr. Aswell. He was easily one L
the ablest and strongest of our
State Superintendents of Educa
tion and was so regarded not
only in the South but in the whole
American Republic.
"At a conference of educational
workers, I recall that State t
Superintendent S t etson, of
Maine, then president of the
department of superintendents of
the National Educational Absocia. a
tion, said, .inspeaking of the work
of State supevision: "Dr. As
well of Louisiana- has set a pace
few of us can hope to equal. He
is one.of the greatest leaders and
most prodigious workers among
us." Coming from Mr, Stetson,.
one of the very ablest of our
school men, 1 regard this as an
unusual compliment.
"Dr. Aswell's high ideals, his
untiring energy, his unfaltering
purpose to aid in~: the uplift of i
humanity combine to make him ,
.long remembered by all friends •
of :paublic edication, Universal,.
intellgenae, ;and popular governI
wpent."

Editor Era-Leader:
We have received The Era
Leader containing the action of
the Democratic Parish Executive
Committee, and everyone is
wonderipg 'at its action. The i
class of citizens who seek office
in- this parish are not usually
men of much money, now they
must feel anxious to know why it
cost fifty dollars to run for Legis
lature in the parish of Washing
ton, with its twenty thousand
inhabitants, and only ten dollars
in Tangipahoa, with its thirty
b population, and why should a r
r candidate for the office of Police
r Juror put up fifteen dollars in
a Washington and have to put up -
t two dollars and fifty cents in
r Tangipahoa.
t Was this done in the interest
I of adyone? If so, who is it?
The people of the parish will
demand an explanation on this
matter, and 'will want to know
how every dollar of this money is
to be spent. The committee is
supposed to be the Executive of
Sthe party and without any bias or
or prejudice towards any of the
1 office seekers and should offer
every facility to make the election
as free, fair and full as possible
"with the least expense possible
to all parties.
l Now, if the Committee in this
Saction was goverened by any
B"ulterior motive, or to aid or
r hinder anyone in the parish
running for office, it marks a
.new departure in the political
B procedure of the parish, as all I
orevious Committees have l
avoided lending their influence E
B to aid any faction or local candi. t
l date. 6
e It is due the people of the I
f parish that this Committee give t
a full explanation of its action t
" for the people of Washington i
parish have always been justly 1
e proud of the purity of its j
s elections, and it is to be hoped.
that our politics are not going to-'
become contaminated with the t
' politics of New Orleans, now that
we are connected so closely with
the city by railroad.
CITIZEN.
r The above article should and I
'would have been published I
0several days ago if it had not l
been inadverdently ommitted, I
1 The ommission was not inten- :
tional on our part as we are 1
always glad to get the views of
o'ur citizens on any subject that
is of interest or of importance.
The above is of interest as well I
as important and there ite many
apeople whose ideai~oincide with
itandit would notbe amis to he I
aii lexplanartion from the Com
nittee as to the why's and where
ftie's of these different assess. I
me nnts. We agree with Citizen to
0the extent that the assessment
was not equalised. Neither .do
Ssee why it.should cost $50 to
rn forHouseofRepresentatives I
here and only ten. dollars in our
si---sr parish. Neither do we
understand why a Representa
tive should' be assessed this
aabouint when our shei~fls and
:other ofieeres which from a,
deioney, consiCerMation .is much
- loe important, are assessed
-I:l . he Commaittee may be
.win making a n lare assess
La ngent b6t' e can't see how it
a ived st its figures for each
honors enough anyway. I have
been allowed, to vote in all the
elections that have been held for
the past forty years, free of coat,
and have been a,condidate twice.
In the first race, 1 ran like a
thoroughbred to the first quarter, I
this last time I just got to the,
starting post and failed to take
the leap, owing to its being un
justly high. Now when a fellow
has had all these honors thrown 1
at him, I think it is time for him I
to retire. W. T. OTT.
