Constitutional Convention,

The Vermilien News has declared
.ditorially that Constitutional
Convention is a necessity. This has
,een the cry Of the Caucasian for
sears, but the politicians and the
ons feeders at the public crib are
against any change in the conditions
which prevail in Louisiana. The
News says ut is the shortest way
,ut of the tangle in which we are
laced by the recent Legislature.
md the adoption of some Of the
constitutional amendments submit
ed by it. The amendments exempt
ing corporations from taxation and
living special privileges, should
have been defeated; also that
shameful grandfather clause which
places a premium on ignorance and
iegrades the intelligent to their
level"

Democracy Must Keep Faith With
the People,

New Orleans States: In reply to
the intimations of his opponents
that the new administration would
evade some of the promises to the
people, President-elect Wilson de-
clares that he will carry out every
pledge made by him during the
campaign. and this is declaration
that every loyal Democrat will ap-
plaud.
The country says the Pittsbure
Post, "has already come to know
Woodrow Wilson as man of at
ton. His promises to the people
were not lightly made; his speeches
were not delivered for the mere
purpose of arousing party enthusi-
asm, but On the contrary they were
made with the expectation that he
would be called upon to fulfill them
In this respect the pledges of the
Democratic president-elect are the
pledges of the man in whom Tho
people have repOsed their conf
ience, and the reforms promised by
the Democratic platform will b'
carried out to the letter by ths
rarty's successful candidate."

The Texas-Louisiana Traction
Company.

At The session of the City Council
held this morning there was a lively
discussion arising from The insist
ence of the council to demand q
bond of the Texas-Louisiana Trac-
ton Company before it was granted
a franchise as favored by major
tity of the voters participating in the
election of recent date.
As there was no requirement OF
a bond when the Council ordered
the election, the attorney repre-
senting The Texas-Louisians Com
pany contended that the Council had
no right to interpose or to demand
something that was not an issue
when the election was ordered, and
as ordered was approved by a ma
jority of the voters participating
therein.
When the ordinance providing
that the company be required TO
give a bond of 5000, and enter
tanned after the election. Commits
sioner Rives voted no, and in ex-
planning his position declared that
the City Council had no authority to
require a bond, which should have
been stipulated before the election.
1t was too late after the election
and after the people had endorsed
tie ordinance granting the company
4 franchise without bond.
The Council finally receded from
its insistence and, passed the ordi-
nance granting the franchise OF
thirty years to the Texas-Louisiana
Traction Company without bond.
This company has no connection
with or interests in the Shreveport
Traction Company.

organized Monday with P. NJ. Welsh

The board elected DR.. P. A. Grain

1t is noted with pleasure that our
friend, A. J. Frantz, editor Of the
Journal, has been named secretary.
He will prove to be not only efficient
but he is in every sense worthy Of
this recognition. He has rendered
efficient service to his party and his
people and is entitled 10 more lu-
crative position, but he will have to
wait for some of the good things Of
which he should have a share. In
this choice of A. J. Frantz for sec
retary is exemplified the remark
able and somewhat extraordinary

II is consoline TO reflect that if the
editors are not recognized in this
mundane sphere with bouquets and

Naturalizina Foreigners.

Recently when Judge Foster OF
the United States Court was hold
ing a session in Baton Rouge he re-
fused naturalization papers to an
Italian who when questioned replied
that Taft is the king of the United
States. He could not tell how the
LEGISLATURE of Louisiana was con-
stituted nor what is the purpose OF
the General Assembly: This man is
only one of thousands, ignorant OF
every form of government, and yet
are seeking to become American
citizens.
1t is about time the naturalization
laws of the United States were be-
ing revised. 1t is not surprising
that the ignorants from Europe
misconstruing liberty into license
and are therefore defiant of the laws
of the State and of the Federal Gov
ernment. The abuse Of the natural
ization laws is due 10 venal politics
and unscrupulous politicians, who
in large cities herd the naturalized
as cattle which are voted as they
are bid. 1t is this element which is
a strong factor in the politics of the
States of the Union. The examina-
ton of every alien for citizenship
should be more rigid than it is; be-
sides, the ready witnesses, generally
the willing and the ready tools OF
political bosses, should be eliminat-
ed from consideration.
