William Jennings Bryan is
mentioned in connection with a
Cabinet position under President
elect Wilson, and he is also said
to be picked out to represent the
country at the court of st. James.
Either one Of these positions
would be but q feeble reward for
the great statesman's devotion to
the cause of Democracy and the
people, but the former would be
more commensurate with his care
ability and would afford him bet
ter opportunities for the applica-
ton Of his views and policies and
prepare him for a continuance of
Democratic supremacy in the
nation after the Wilson administ-
ration. A good wise administra-
don by President.elect Wilson
ought to keep the Democratic
party In power for at least twelve
years to come.

hear a man who is proud OF his

be as poor as church mouse,
but his name should be written in
large letters at the entrance gate
Of his town as an honor to his
memory. We have such with Us,
and they are worth more to the
progress Of our town than their
weight in gold. They know every
point of interest and Of advant-
age for miles around; and any
stranger falling into their hands
will soon learn everything that
adds to the honor of our town,

With true patriotism all shortcom-

citizenship every advantage. Ye

With election over, the people
of the United States will turn to
the consideration of the question:
affecting the veal of the nation
and one of the Invest at this time
is the speedy improvement of the
inland waterways of the country,
to the end that the threatened
congestion in freight movement,
warning of which has been given
by the railroads, may be COM
pletely eliminated. 1t is expect
ed that this subject will be given
commanding attention at the
coming annual convention of the
National Rivers and Harbors
Congress which meets in WASH
ington simultaneously with the
coavening of the Federal Congress,
the dates of the convention being
December 4th, 9Th and 9th. A
number of most distinguished
men in public life will deliver adj
dresses before the Congress,
which is second in importance to
the Congress of the United States,
including President Taft, Gov.
Woodrow Wilson, Secretary of
War Stimson, and others equ ally
prominent.

Governor Hall is said 10 be very
sore over the ignominious defeat
eff his tax amendment and he al
leges gross irregularities practiced
In some parts of the State, in the
parish OF Orleans particularly.
Whether this be the case or not,
the fact IL nevertheless very ap-
parent that this particular con-
stitutional amendment was un-
popular with the voters, very
largely because it was not suf-
6ciently understood.

Now, however, it is announced
from Baton Rouge, with some
show of authority, that there will
be no convention, and the fear ie
expressed in the telegram that
the same "forces" which defeated
the WORK of the cute commission
will control the constitutional
convention and run away with it.
1t does seem absurdly inconsis-
ent that any one would be afraid
to trust the taxpayers of Loulsi-
ana to deal fairly with all import
ant questions. The proponents Of
the tax scheme were perfectly
willing to trust commission,
three.fourths of whose mem bers
were selected by two men closely
associated in politics, yet they
now seem to be unwilling to trust
the graf body of citizens of the
State. Why this apparent dis
trust? Why this evident unwill-
ingness to allow the whole body
of the taxpayers to select dele
SdCcs w ACPlCoCuI CFC1y SCCtiOu
and faction of the State in con-
vention called for the purpose of
drafting laws for all the people?
Why this perfect willingness to
trust such important matters to a
cute commission and deny the
taxpayers of the State the privi-
lege of making selections of their
own?
Is the Governor afraid to trust
the taxpayers of the State, who
are certainly interested in the
welfare of the country-as much
so as big corporation lawyer we
might name? If the Baton Rouge
Telegram gives the true reason for
the determination not to call a
constitutional convention, we
submit that Governor Halls posi-
ton is very inconsistent.-Mon-
