"TnE RAPE OF THE CONSTI.
TUITION"
Monroe News-Star.D

Today the News-Star reproduces
the plain, direct and clear state
ment issued by Governor Sanders
last Saturday relative to the alleged
rape of the constitution" which
has caused some newspapers to
spend sleepless nights and anxious
days, evidently fearing that Cover
nor Sanders would literally take the
Constitution between his teeth and
tear it to shreds in his effort to OBJ
tain asecondterm as Governor. We
have never taken much stock" in
the disinterestedness of these news
papers, but now that the Governor
has spiked their guns" we do not
see how they can continue their as
saults upon the Sanders admins
tration.
Governor Sanders is too big man
to resort to anything so little in or
der to gain an office. We have al.
ways believed that when the time
came he would make his course
known, openly and above board
When Governor Sanders wants ar
Office within the gift of the people
of Louisiana, he will not sneak
around and amend the Constitution
in order to aid him in getting it, but
he will frankly announce his candi'
dacy and ask the suffrage OF the peo
pie. This has been his course II
the past and we believe he will con
tinue to follow it in all the years t.
come.
The position taken by Governo
Sanders, however, does not neces
sarily mean that the proposed
amendment should not be submit
ted to the people. We believe il
the good old Democratic principle o
permitting the people to pass upor
all questions of vital interest t.
them. This Constitution was neve
submitted to the people, and Will
we assume that they would have vot
ed favorably upon it as whole, i
remains that they never had
chance to adopt or reject it.
the members of the General Assem-
bly, see fit to submit the matter Il
the people, we see no reason why
should not be done. There is wis
dom in retaining a competent OF
fetal in office, and we believe tn
people can be trusted in all matters
especially as all candidates mus
submit their claims to a primar
election. Governor Sanders att
tude has nothing whatever to d
with the merits of the matter-it
merely incidental--and as the sui
ject has attracted some attention, W
suggest that the people be allowed t
vote on the proposed amendment

A Card From the Parish

To the Residents of Tensas Parish:
take this means of informing you of
