posing an unnecessary burden
on the congressman at large.
The cost and labor Of a cam
raign Of a primary ele ;tion
followed by the congressional
election are burdensome e..
nongh in a district contest,
as it is now, without imposing
any additional cost, labor.and
trouble on any prospective
representative Of the people
by requiring him t. stand be.
fore the entire electorate Of
the State.
The law requires the legisla
tura 10 ma Ks provision for the,
additional member to which
we are entitled. Let it meet
its duty bravely and fearless
~ by reforming the State into
eight districts, with one con-
gresham from each. This
necessarily means a disturb
ing Of the districts, as now
constituted, aud regrouping
of the parishes. But why
should the legislature falter
or hesitate to, cope with. the
question, and at once redis-
trict the, State into. eight dist

welfare? Let no maa's for

IMPROVEMENTS TO
COLLEGE DORMITORIES

The work of remodeling the Ewen
and Brafferton building at the col
lege is progressing satisfactorily. the
latter building having been practically
completed. The interior mas been
made new and running water placed
in every room. Special attention
has been paid TO sanitary arrange
ments, which will add immensely TO
the comfort and attractiveness OF
the dormitory.
The work on the Ewell building
which is more expensive. has not
been completed. but it is thought il
will be ready for occupancy when
the session opens on Sept. 70.
Prospects for a larger attendance
next year than last are now very
good. The general impression i:
that the college from now on vii

Modern and comfortable living
