GAS the time for the meeting of the
Legislature comes on the constitutional
convention scheme begins to assume
more definite shape, and alluslons to
one become moIe bold and frequent.
Its advocates profess to believe that
the good State of Louisiana IS going
at d rafting pace, down grade to GER
tam ruin, and that the only way to
save her is to deposo Nichols, and to
grant certain privileges to certain
parties. After they succeed IN getting
the convention called, if they can
succeed, then the bug under the chip
will come out. The game that these
so called patriots arc attempting to
play is an old one, and we will be
much surprised if the people do not
succeed in calling all the turns on the
players. 1t is very difficult to fool
some people twice by the same trick" "
-ShreVepOrt Democrat.
We really don't think there is much
serious talk of this sort, except by
some "Wood choppers" who have a
few axes to grind, and they are away
out in the woods too. 1t would be "A
beautiful stroke of wisdom to call a
constitutional convention under the
States present financial stress, with
her unfortunate insane, half clothed
and half fed, and many of them in

HARRISON'S GENEALOGY.
He Descended From Master
John Harrison, Vlrginia's
First Governor, and is nO ASeH
IatlOm 10 CrOmwell's NninlOn---
His Family Tree and Crest.

There have been many statements
made to the effect that the President
was descendant from Cromwelfs
General Harrison, writes the Wash
lngton correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune. The President has been
written to on the. subject, and hi
widely.published reply went to show
that if he did not believe that the
associate of the "boody CROMWELL
was his ancestor lie was not entirely
sure of the fact.
| am able to asseverate and conclu-
siveIy prove, | think, that the Presi-
dent of the United States is no more
descended from the regicide than he
is from the regicide's chief.
Mr.. B. E. Blsckford, originally of
fredericksburg, Va, but resident Of
Washington for the last five decades,
has made heraldTy and genealngy his
fad for many years, and has made an
especial study of the lineage and
ancestry of the old Virginia families,
lie fought beneath the stars and bars
in the rebellion, and in his Democracy
he is noteworthy and unrelenting
These facts gave an additional empha-
sis when he said to me the other day:
"As an oIdVirginian | resent the idea
that the descendant of one Of the
oldest of our Virginia families and the
President of our country should for a
moment be considered to have sprung
from regIcides, The gIaring character
of the misstatement can be shown in
few words. CromweI's General Har-
risOn is merely supposed to have come
to America after Cromwel's death,
in 1850 Now, as | will prove to you,
the ancestor of the President was
governing Virginia in 1923, twenty
seven years before the Cromwelite is
said to have come to America.

Among the second importation of

about the year 1909, was one Master
John Harrison, gentleman. In 1928
the Virginia Company, as a private
corporation, was extinguished, aud
Master John Harrison was made Gov
ernor of Virginia. To him, in l645,
was born a son, who in due time be-
came known as Benjamin Harrison, of
Surrey. This son was the first great
landed proprietor of his name in Vr.
ginia. He was buried at WestoVer
on the James river, and a monument
was erected on the lawn of the family
estate. The monument, which is still
eXtant, bears the following epitaph:
