The management of the Louisiana
State Fair, which ia to be held at Alex
andria this year, are taking steps to
make the fair unusually large and fine
and by the judicious distribution of
circulars and letters throughout the
State are awakening an extensive per-
sonal interest in the enterprise. The
purpose of the fair ia to stimulate agri-
culture and develop the mechanical,
industrial and commercial resources of
the State. There ought, therefore, to
be feeling of pride in the enterprise
among patriotic Louisianians. A
helping hand by the parishes now will
tighten the task of the management
and go long way toward creating a
lasting prominence for the fair.

The Elective Franchise.

lhis question is now eliciting the at
tention OF the Louisiana bress to a
general extent.
Our own views have long since been
ventilated and the subseGuent mnlti-
pilcatlon of corresponding views has
oy no means diminished our convic-
ton OF the imperative necessity of re-
modelling articles l64 and ISS, of our
State Constitution.
Nothing is palmer to Us than that
we should frame our fundamental. or
organic law, at least, SO that we can af-
ford to enforce it to the letter. Safety
from turbulence, confusion and an
archy, ia to be found in our obedience
60 the laws we profess to live under
All experience teaches that whenever a
people drift out from this anchorage
political wreck follows. Factions
spring up-that which is in power
dominates at will-because there is no
power but resistance and revolution
to resist and arrest them. People ac-
customed to law and order are always
slow to resort to revelation, but when
fol. self protection they mast, the con-
sequences are serious. Oblivious as we
have grown to be of some of the plain
est provisions of our Constitution,
wrong and misrule. are submitted to,
and many go so far as to prove ad-
herents of snch Us perpetrate them.
We cannot say we~favor system of
patching the Constitution. 1t is al
ready as spotted as leopard and now
it is proposed to make it more So We
are not prepared to say how many
amendments have been submitted
to the people since the thing was
adopted July %, 1879. We doubt
if there be a lawyer in the State. who
can tell us without first examining the
statutes sof the State. Three or four
pamphlet editions of it have been is
sued, with extensive Indices, not one
of which can now be consulted as the
complete document. First of all, it is
a volume in itself, containing almost,
if not qaite 800 sArticles-many of
which are as lengthy as one of Rufus
Choates' most notable sentences.
Compared with former constitutions of
Louisiana, for instance these of 1912.
and IS45 il is simply enormous.
An organic law should be as brief as
possible. and as explicit as brevity of
sentences can make it. The govern
ment is in our hands and there is no
insuperable, or. even serious obstacle
in the way. The people should be so
emphatic in their Constitution, that
charIatans, demagegues, quibhlers and
hair splitters could hope for no advan
tages from ingenious interpretation
and metaphysical definitions. We
need a constitution as simple in its
entire structure as the eleven com
mandments. Under all circumstances
let us do away with the demagognery
of the elective franchise, and remember
that ueliherty h found in obediencs
to good laws.

The silver debates in Congress at
tract very little attention now because
the ground has been gone over time
and again and the speeches amount
to nothing more than the threshing of
the old straw Already the members
have commenced to admit that the
House gave too much time for the dis
cussion of the repeal bill and that the
talk is now tiresome to such an extent
that the orators address their remarks
to empty chairs. 1t is. no doubt. true
that a weeks time would have been
sufficient for the members to say what
they had to say regarding the Sherman
silver act, but if the members of Con-
gress themselves are tired of the long
talks they can easily imagine how a
