There are several proposed amendments to the
Constitution of 1898, which are to be voted on b.
the people at the election on November 8. 1904
But one Of these consider of paramount i'm.
portance to the Inhabitants of this State and es-
pecially those who reside outside of the large
centers of population. and that is the proposed
school bond Gmendment, the object Of which il
to build school houscs.
Speaking from the standpoint of a Grant par
ish citizen and the needs of our parish, derived
from my knowledge Of the condition in our
parish feel that every citizen interested in the
cause of educstiou should vote for this amend
ment. By this means we could build more
houses and improve the ones we have, thereby
making them more comfortable and better suit
ed tn the needs and demands Of our increasing
population. We can get this for the above pur-
pose-without our taxes being increased. should
the amendment be carried. To get this several
thousand dollars for the purpose of building
school houses only costs the people their votes.
and feel that we should get it and would like
to see our people vote for it. With the money
We hsve to be used for paying teachers and this
extra from the bond issue to build houses. the
cause of education would be greatly improved
in our parish. feel it to be duty owe to my
parish to give public these views, and hope that
our people will vote for the proposed amend
ment: Let us show mp coed vote for this the
benefit OF which will De felt by our children.

The time for the selection of amay-
or and five councilmen to serve the
town of Colfax for the next two
years is set for Monday, November T..
The present mayor and councilmen
have discharged their duties well and
have given satisfaction generally. or
course there are a few who are never
satisfied with anything and have
kicked. and will continue to knock
any set of men who are put In charge
OF municipal affairs. The time is at
hand when these GROWERS can put In
a set to suit themselves. There Is
more material to select from since the
town limits have been extended, SO
let us get up a good ticket and put 1t
through. Let the GROWERS elect the

The fifteen amendments proposed
to the State constitution are stated

ical College, and fixes the status oil
Tulane University.
2. Exempts from taxation all rail-
roads built for the next ten years,

4. Adds district Judge for the first
(Caddo) district.
8. Authorizes the issue and sale OF
n million dollars OF State bonds for

Curious Political Somersaults.

4 -
The strongest arguments produced
In favor OF the adoption of the con.
stitutional amendments are these:
The legislature thought we needed
them, and so they offer them to the
people Tor approval at greatexpense.
The lawyers and professional men
OF the State think we need them.
The school teachers and the mer-
chants think we need them.
The railroad and real estate men
think we need them.
The bankers and manufacturers
think we need them.
The planters and farmers once
thought we needed them, but since
Gov. Blanchard has made himself
unpopular by that bad break In New
Orleans, they have suddenly got hold
OF the idea that to defeat the amend
ments would, In some unaccountable
way, become a reflection upon the
governor.
Two or three Of the amendments
propose decided curtailment of the
governors appointive power. by
providing for the election OF district
attorneys. judges. clerks OF court and
sheriffs, when the filing of any va
cancy shall be for more than year.
II these amendments fall to carry, the
governor will go right along appoint
ing these officers as heretofore. The
million dollars for schools will be ap-
propriated and expended by the par
ish school boards. and the governor
won't have anything to do with that.
The railroad ald the judiciary amend
ment. the Industrial school, the Con-
federate veteran pensions, and the
other amendments, are all purely
business matters for the people to
consider dispassionateIy. Whether
the governor is a good man or a bad
man has nothing to do with 1t.
The curious somersaulting on this
question Is interesting and instruct
I've. 1t is a demonstration OF the
power Of the political schemer, and
shows the advantage our wiley Re
publican opponents can take OF DEM
ocratic dIssention and division. Gov.
does foolish thing; and
10, and behold Every Democratic
measure before the people Is con-
demned. All the painstaking and
labor of the party for years, is to be
thrown to the winds.
Out upon such nonsense. What
has become Of the political wisdom
and discernment Of Democrats that
they can be gulled by Republican
shaff and PopuIIssic tanys .Om gov
srnor may need disciplIning, but
can attend to that In due
time. and they will not have to 90 |
