RediStrictinq the State.

In the bill providing the reds
tricting of the State from seven into
eight congressional districts, it is
proposed to take from the Fourth
District the parishes of Natchito-
ches and Sabine and VIM and to
substitute therefor the parishes of
Claiborne and Lincoln. To this plan
Senator Leon R. Smith is urging his
protest. The representatives from
Lincoln are also objecting to being
connected as outlined. When the bill
reaches the Senate Senator Smith
will try to have the Fourth Congress
sional District remain as it is, The
redistricting of the State from seven
to eight congressional districts is
provocative of feeling as we'll as po-
litical sentiment. The Fourth Dis
trict as it is should not be disturbed.

THE PROFESSIONAL LOBBYISTS

The Caucasian has already ex-
pressed its unrestrained opinion OF
the defeat of the anti-lebby bill in
the State Senate.
The defeat of this measure lis a
discredit to the State and empha-
sizes the power of the professional
lobbyists.
1t has long since been conceded
that no measure designed to benefit
the State and the people can be en-
acted into law if the opposition of
the professional lobbyists be direct
ed against it.
There is difference between the
citizens who lobby for or against
bill pending in the Legislature and
the professional lobbyists who have
their regular retainers at Baton
Rouge.
The professional lobbyists and
their allies are distinguishable not
only by their activity but by their
connections and their relationship
to legislative acts, which are de
feated or enacted into laws, good
laws which are with some rare ex-
ceptions defeated.
Among the senator's recorded as
voting against the Smith anti-lobby
bill is Senator Beale of East Baton
Rouge, who explained his opposition
based on the principle THAT no man
was improperly lobbied unless he
wanted to be improperly lobbied"
This principle, as elueidated by
Senator Beale, is subject to inter-

mort from the State engineers on tine

written report of the visit OF the
boards committee to Washington in
the interest of the contemplated i'm
movements for Red river and to
also urge the committee to recon-
mend that Congress permit the Cad
do Levee Board to close Twelve Mile

seconded, the committee who visited

What Has Been Done?

The Jena Times: The sixty day
session of Louisiana's reform Legis-
lature is almost at an end, and we
venture to mildly inquire: What
has been done?n Has there been one
single piece of constructive legisla
ton passed, or worse still, has there
been any destruction of the many
ubiquitous measures which it was
claimed the Sanders regime foisted
upon the State and people? Let

probation, but without indulging in
an analysis of the issue of a ,legis-
Iator being properly or improperly
lobbied, it is nevertheless fact,
possibly remarkable, that the pro-
fessi0nal lobbyists have always
relied with certainty upon num-
Der of their friends to approve or
to defeat any enactment which they
have sanctioned or have opposed.
In the extremity Of their awkward
and indpfensible attitude some of
the senators whose votes are re-
corded against the Smith anti-lObby
bill, are striving to indignate against
Gov ernOr Hall who in his special
message has made fOrcibly plain the
duty of the Senate. In this instance
this play to the galleries will Ope-
rate against the gentlemen and their
dignity who have failed deliberately
to obey the mandates of the people.
It is not possible for any member
of the Senate TO plead ignorance of
the fact that Governor Hall and
Lieutenant Governor Barrett and
John T. Michel and Prof. AsWefl,
candidates for the governorship, did
proclaim their opposition to the
professional lobbyists and each gave
his pledge to the people to direct
his best efforts to the enactment of
a law that would lead to the eXclu-
sion of the professional lobbyist
from the sessions of the General
Assembly.
In urging the members of the Sen
ate to remain true and infleXible to
their duty, Governor Hall exercised
his. right, as the executive of the
State, for which he should be com
mended in the superlative degree:
and the senator who being OVer-sen-
sitive would express his resentment
by his abuse or ungenerOus crlti-
cism Of the Governor may be classi-
fled with the individuals upon
whom the professional lobbyists rely
when in need of votes to further
their special interests.
The Smith anti-lobby bill, on re
consideration, has been resuscitated
from a moribund condition and re
turned to committee, where some of
its teeth may be filed or extracted.
1t may be returned to the Senate
emasculated, but it is of little conse-
quence in what shape it may be re-
vived, the fact is patent that the
professional lobbyists in Baton
Rouge can defy the Governor and
his administration they can thwart
the will of the people. and there is
offered only one solution for relief
and that is that each senator who
has voted to defeat the bill should
be recalled by the people respon-
sibIe for his election.

A SERIOUS DEMOCRATIC
RHNnFR.

II.
The Democrats have been credit
ed by their friends the Republicans
of possessing the ability to perform
the aSinine act when they should
reach important conclusions with
deliberate craftsmanship.
The Democrats of today have al
most in their grasp the Presidency
of the United States. Not since the
days of Tilden and of Cleveland has
the opportunity for triumph been
more encouraging, but at the very
initial of their proceedings there
has occurred a serious laundering.
The blunder originated in what is
styled the arrangements committee,
composed of sixteen members. OF
these, eight voted for Parker, while
the other eight voted for Congress
man Henry of Texas, for Senator
elect Ollie James, for Senator OGor-
man and for Senator Kern.
This action of this committee
should have been referred to the
executive committee, but instead,
there was undue haste in, informing
Judge Alton B. Parker of his selec-
ton as temporary chairman of the
National Democratic Convention,
which he has accepted without hes
itatiOn.
1t would seem that this was as if
prearranged and has reused Wig
orous protest by Bryan, who is be-
ing joined by the progressiNes Of the
Democracy.
1t is we'll to pirate of harmony, but
the ambition of every individual
should be subordinated to party sue
cess.
The temporary chairman of the
National Democracy should be a
progressive man, man of spirit
and Niger. While Judge Parker is a
nice gentleman, an amiable man and
a jurist of eminence, he can not
thrill nor enthuse. He is cold and
phlegmatic He is of the class of
the have beens." He has been fully
complimented and honored by the
Democracy, and it were time. he
were being let alone, if not retired
from political activities.
1t will not be gainsaid seriously
that the temporary chairman apd
the permanent chairman of the Ma
sso,.ou na,,oopof;a Convention cho11I6
be men who are progressive and ag-
gressive and who can stimulate the
Democracy to action and to success.
However, in their enthusiastic an
tieipatioIls the Democrats at The Ma
tionaI Democratic Convention should
net be, nasled into the belief that
any candidate that may be named
for the presidency can defeat Taft,
who is to be the Republican candi-
date for the presidency.
In brief, if the Democracy is to
record triumph at the election in
November, the candidate of the
party must be a man of progressive
leadership and man who can draw
TO his support the conservative ele-
ment and the silent vote.
Which of the candidates, Clark,
Underwood, Harmon or Wilson, can
do this?
The strongest and the most avail
able man of the four should be the
nominee of the convention for pres
ident, but whatever lis done should
be done sensibiy and let there be no
