There is growing disposition on
The part of a majority of Louisiana's
Lawmakers to consider the govern
ment as something apart from the
people Of this State-as an entity
created, not to do the popular will,
but to rule those whom it should
serve. The sooner this idea is rele-
gated to the lands of the "kings, by
divine right" from whence it came,
Athe better it will he for this land Of
popular sovereignty.
