Dove of Peace Hovers Over
the D. A. R. Congress.
GOOD WILL IN G00D.BYEs
Proposed Revision Of the Constitu-
ton Considered Yesterday.
ACTION TWO YEARS HENCE
Resolution Adopted Favoring Wash
iAgton and Mount Vernon High
way-Final Session.

The twenty-first Continental Congress Of
the Daughters OF the American Revolu-
ton came to close about $50 O'Clock
last evening, with the dove Of peace
much in evidence. The members sang
the doxology, and, moment later anti
administrationists as we'll as administra-
tionists crowded to the stage to bid fare
we'll to Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, president
general Of the society. Mrs. william
Cummings Story, leader Of the ants, was
among those who babe Mrs Scott a
cordial farewell.
Practically the entire afternoon was
spent in consideration Of the proposed re-
vision Of the constitution and bylaws, as
drafted by the committee. Miss Janet
Richards Of the District Of Columbia 1t
was who discovered that 1t would not be
possible to act on the revision at the next
congress because the present law pro-
vldes that no amendments or revision Of
the constitution shall be made at those
congresses when national elections take
place. Next year those elections will be
held, and final action cannot be taken
until the succeeding session. This was
very disappointing to many of the
Daughters. particularly those who come
from distant states, for they were count
ing on having the constitution changed
SO that the states could elect the state
officers at home instead Of in Washing
ton.

Changes Closely scrutinized.

The draft of the revision was carefully
scrutinnized in every detail. There was
considerable discussion over that section
which provided that chapters shall not
be named for persons or events anterior
to IT'S or later than 17S3" The Colonial
Danes, it was stated, had asked that the
names of chapters should not be selected
from history prior to 1775 on the ground
that they would encroach upon the field
OF the Colonial Danes. The Daughters,
however. decided that it would not be
fair to the D. A. r. to curtail their
field for names to such an extent, and
they decided, therefore, to make the linn
1t ITO to 1IS3
On motion of Mrs. William Howard
Smoot Of Alexandria the congress adopt
ed resolution favoring the construction
of memorial highway from Washing
ton to Mount Vernon. in honor Of George
washington. There are already bills be-
fore the national lawmakers, it was
stated, for the construction Of such a
highway, and the Daughters will give
them their support. Before the close of
the congress resolutions of thanks to all
the officers, to the press and to others
who had helped make the meeting a sue
cess were adopted.

The Reason Why,

Eve-up-to-date in the ,Times-Dem-
ocrat: People accustomed to chick
ems bought in the markets are apt
10 be disappointed in the quality of
the poultry they raise with such
care and expectation in their home
yards. The principal reason Of this
is the upripe condition in which the
home-dressed fowls are invariably
cooked. Caterers who give the
greatest pleasure to their custom
ers do not serve them fowls just
slaughtered; all meats are better
when kept as long as possible with
out being absolutely tainted. An old
fowl when we'll ripened will furnish
far more savory dish than the fin
est chicken just killed

One Instead of Seven.

Representative Raoul Sere of the
Twelfth Ward of New Orleans pro
poses to offer constitutional
amendment abolishing six of the
seven state assessors in that city
and requiring the work to be done
~ one officer, as it can and ought
o be done. This is real reform with
4 capital r, and there should be
enough real refOrmers in the Gen
eral Assembly to- give the measure
The requisite twO-thirds vote to send
it to the people.-Donaldsonville
Chief.
This same enactment has been at
tempted in past legislatures and
failed because, perhaps, the issue
was not reinforced by the earnest
spirit of reform. By reducing the
assessOrships of the Parish of Or,
leans from seven to one will operate
as a great saving and will stimulate
the activities in a greater proficien.
cy of better service. A reduction Oi
seven to one means one boss instead
OF seven, as assessors.

From Lake Charles it is stated
that the majesty of the prohibition
law promises to be upheld as long
as Judge Oyerton sits on the dis
triet bench was evidenced again
Saturday, when William Como, fol-
lowing his conviction Of selling
liquor without license, was given
a sentence of nine months in jail,
one of the heaviest sentenced i'm
posed this term for a similar Of
fense, but in lines with similar SEN
fences pronounced on this class Of
offenders, to whom Judge OvertOn
has shown but seant consideration" ."
In the enforcement of the law
against the liquor seller the judge is
the all-powerful factor. The judge
must be Sair to the accused and to
the State. The judge who leans to
the accused on hair-splitting techni-
calities lends himself to the encour-
agement of the contempt Of the law.
10 may be noted that the majority
of offenders against the prohibition
law in Lake Charles and in other
towns of the State are foreigners,
who, if in their country, would not
dare treat the law as they do in
Louisiana.
1t is senseless to suggest that the
law of prohibition can not be en-
forced. IL. .. s
The enforcement Of all laws must
rest in the officials and the officers
charged with its enforcement.
In dealing with law-breakers, es-
peeially "boot-leggers, judge Over
ton has wasted no time in indulging
in technicalities or in other subter-
fuges in the interest of the liquor
seller, E...

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Timely Rainfall and Favorable CeIN
pcrature Improved Conditions.

New Orleans Picayunc June 3:
The past week has been favorable
to the crops in this section of tn"
country as far as weather is con
cerncd. Throughout the cotton belt
there have been timely showers and
temperature has risen to the full
normal standard for this time Of the
year. As a result rapid progress has
been made in field work and the
cotton crop mas experienced salts
factory growth. The fields are now
fairly clean and the chopping out
process has been pretty we'll fin
iShed With such favorable weather
planting has been pretty well com
lIeted in all but the oVerflOWed
districts. and even there some pro
gress has been made as farMers are
sowing the land as fast as the water
rCcHdeS.
While it is yet early to speak with
any certainty as to the increase or
decrease in acreage. there is every
indication that there will be a small
decrease, mainly in the Atlantic
States. The purchase Of fertilizers
is fully up to the average, and il
most states the farmers have adopt
ed the new system Of placing fer
tilizer on The land as the crop pro
crosses instead of putting it in be
fore the crop is planted. While the
crop is reported to be still some
what backward, it is fast recover
ing, and a few more weeks of good
weather are expected to bring it up
to normal conditions.
During the current week the gov
ernment will issue its first report
on the condition of the crop based
upon reports up to May 25. Since
that date there has been a steady
improvement, hence the condition
average reported tomorrow will be
somewhat lower than would be the
case if the improvement of the past
week were taken into account. ~
The corn crop is making good
progress since fair warm weather
has set in. Rice is also doing we'll,
although acreage has been some
what reduced in some districts. All
small crops are now making favor
able progress.
The sugar crop has been greatly
benefited by the bright sunshine
and higher temperature of the past
week.
