THE LAWYERS AROUSED.

The meeting of the Louisiana
Bar Association, this week, in
Alexandria, promises to be one
of the most important that that
body has had in years. The
topics chosen for discussion
touch those laws, which most
nearly affect the economic and
social life of the people. Such
questions as the following show
that the Louisiana bar has been
fully aroused to the necessity of
improving some of the existing
laws. They discuss:
Should the laws requiring the
cOnvocatiOn of family meetings
for certain purposes be repealed?
If so, what other proceedings, if
any, should be substituted"
Should the community laws
of Louisiana be repealed or mOdi.

Should married women be

A TRIP OF WORLD INTEREST.

4 TRIP OF WORLD INTEREST.
The battleship, Mississippi
has successfully completed the
trip as far up as Natchez and
down again on the great river,
whose name it shares. It's way
up stream was marked with
every sort of fete and entertain
ment that a loyal, hospitable PEG,
pie could devise to express vel
come to it's officers and men.
It's way down was a triumphal
progress of speed, between
banks crowded with applauding,
interested spectators. For this
alone it would be interesting.
But the trip was more than a
mere pleasure excursion, or a
compliment to the people in this
section of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi. 1t was a triumph in navi-
CATION. The Bureau OF Naviga'
ton had pronounced against the
practicability of the trip. 1t was
only by the insistence of the
statesmen, who believed that the
majestic stream was deep enough
for the largest vessels and sought
this opportunity of proving it,
that their wishes were acceded
to, and the voyage authorized.
With what doubts and misgiv-
ings it was done is no part of
the story of success. Enough
that it was done, and done tri-
umphantly we'll, making an un-
paralleled world record of speed.
Never before has a ship of such
size made twenty miles an hour
in inland waters. And it means
more than good pilOtage or ex.
ceptional command, although
these were strong contributing
causes, for it means that the Mis-.
sissippi Rivers future as a great
waterway is assured. No skep.
tic but is convinced that the
problem of interior transpOrta.
ton is solved in the use of the
great stream. Large and swift
vessels can come to the aid of the
railroads in connecting the mar
kets of the great valley. New Or
leans can become par excellence,
a port the equal of New York.

NOT DEAD BUT SLEEPING.

Some political gossip in the n.
O. Item runs to the effect that
the consensus of opinion, among
those who chatter in clubs and
hotel corridors, is that our timer.
ant governor prefers being re-
elected governor to trying his
strength against M. j. Foster
for election as senator, executive
authority being more precious
in his eyes than legislative re-
sponsibility.
The tentative suggestion of
Cousin st. Clair Adams that an
amendment to the constitution
be made permit Cousin Jared's
re.ascending to the governor
chair, though vigorously opposed
at the time is only quiescent for
a season.
In other words it is not dead,
but sleeping-it has not passed
away into the limbo of horrible
things no longer possible, but
merely sleeps, like some hidden
beauty, until Opportunity, a as
Prince Charming, awakens it
with a kiss.
1t remains to be seen what the
people will say about this, for, it
is suggested that such an amend.
ment will not be brought for
ward for defeat, but will be drop
ped if thus threatened. In such
case, Senator Foster will have to
fight tor the possession of the
tOga.
The wise say only, I'VE shall
see, so questionable a quantity
is popular opinion, and so easily
is it gulled sometimes.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Louisiana be amended, and il so,
to what extent and in what par
ticulars?"
1t will be observed that most
of these relate to married women
and their property rights, and
it is high time that Louisiana
should remove the stigma of
treating married women as ire
sp0nsibles, as laid down in the
Code of Napoleon on which our
law is modelled. No man of in
telligence will admit that he
holds the same opinion of women
that Napoleon held, then why ac-
cept his laws?
A prominent jurist of this
state in a recent lecture made
the assertion that under the laws
of Louisiana a married woman
does not own the clothes she
wears, and this degrading fact
has been published to the world,
and newspapers every where are
commenting upon it. This should
arouse all Louisiana to the
shameful position, from a legal
standpoint, in which our women
are placed.

LOVES LABOR LOST.

Readers of the daily newspa-

But Father HOltgreVe is, we
believe, playing a losing game,
and for this reason: the people
are not behind him, or if they
