Says the N, q. City Item
The people demand a reduction 0!
taxes, more efficient and less costly
judicial system, local governments cho-
sen by and directly responsible to THEN
constituencies (the menace OF negro
domination having passed away, and
election laws which will permit Tie peo-
pie themselves to do tho eiccting and
not allow Il self pcrpetuatins junta to
continue themselves in power jndefi
nitely.
To attain these desirable objects
the Item suggests that IA constitutional
convention be held next year, the Leg
islature to call it soon after assembling
next May, and the amended instrument
to be submitted to tho people for ratili-
cation at the nest election for State of
ticers. AS such Il plan would not utter
fere with the official tenure OF the pres

that it may be adopted. The commits
sion plan Of patching will not give sat

Saturday evening our town was considerably
crowded to see the pride of st. Iandry"-the
G.. M. Thompson Hustlers-cr0ss bats with the
Iloyd'5 Bridge Base Ball Club. The Hustlers
IN their new uniforms are all 1ue looking boys,
but when the boys from Ilcyt's failed to put in
an appearance they were sadly disappointed.
The weather was fine and good many of the
fair sex was in attendance, but with ii all our
boys had to put up with it, The only consola-
ton left them was to practice amongst them
selves. The next game our boyg expect to play
is at Opelousas, and trust the boys from our
sister town will rally together and give our
boys game. We are all young at the game
but we are pucky, and it our friends from Ope-
lausas defeat our boys it will Only be what they
expect. CiIICOT.
