Mr. Feulkaer, of Caldwell. Mr.. PresidenR i Z
This bill involves no policy whatever n ~ +.
object OF all governments is the right to lif
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No old sFle
can say that the Constitution of the State Aecret
Louisiana does not secure these regardlesAfes
OF race, color, or previous condition. Th&eant
Is the supreme law OF the land. The primo der /
pies embodied in that law have been testeko Ia
within the precincts Of Louisiana, and Ia :,
integrity OF the law has been maintaineiH.s 4. z

But what does this bill propose 10 do nets
