HALLS MESSAGE
CALLS FOR ACTION
Governor Calls AtIentloa to LegisIaalvs
situation IN Refsrm Measures.
Compromises CONDEMNED
Also Condemns EmpAatlcalty Amendment Of
administration School Bill In Senate
Committee.

/ Baton Rouge, June 26. In {
ringing message, punctuatec
with pertinent structures upor
several undesirable compromises,
Gov. Hall last night called the
attention of the general assem-
bly, to the legislative situation
surrounding the reform meas
ures pending, and put the cues
tion of enactment of these bills
up to the legislative branch of
of the government. Suggestion
that a special session this fall
may be advisable is included in
the message
The message minced no words
and indulged in no compromises,
but it did not deal in PERSONAL
ties. The amendment of the ad-
ministration school bill in SEN
ate committee SO as to return to
the y st e m o f in direc t
control of parish superintend-
ents, found so Objectionable un-
der the Marks bill, the governor
condemned strongly.
The amendment to the board
attorney bill in the house, which
would make an exemption In
favor of New Orleans, came in
for equal disapproval. In both
houses the message was received
with close attention and keen
interest. It was ordered printed
and spread upon tae desks of
the members and viii be read
with even closer scrutiny.
The governor points out that
nothing has been done toward
redeeming the campaign pledge
to reform methods of taxation.
It is suggested that if the legis- |
lature is unwilling to agree to a
constitutional convention, that it |
a commission to go into
the subject and report to a spe-f
cial session in the autumn.
The anti-lobby bill in the SEN
ate. which comes up today, is
said to be sure of passag g.
While facing a powerful opposi-
ton, the income tx amendment
IS said to be equally sure of go
ing through.

ASSOCIATION TO Be
ORGANIZED.

On Sunday the 23rd inst. a
meeting was held at the garage
of the Teche Automobile Com
pany, and a movement was
started for the organization of a
Parish Automobile Association.
There were present some
prominent autoists, and they
were very enthusiastic in seeing
this movement launched.
Mr.. H. D. Larcade, Jr., was
selected as temporary chairman,
with Mr.. w. j. Sandoz as secre-
tary, and a committee was ap-
pointed to solicit membership.
Permanent organization will be
on Sunday, July 7th,

This is a very commendable
which can do much
good towards bringing automo-
bile owners closer together, to-
wards securing good roads.

A new PARTY FROM
THE GROUND UP IS
ROOSEVELTPROGRAM
There Must Be No Compro-
mise, No Straddle, Says
the Colonel.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 26. A
new party from the ground up is
the Roosevelt program. After a
series of discussions with his
heutenants yesterday b efore
leaving Chicago, in which there
We're several sharp clashes, Col
onel Roosevelt decided to cut en-
tirely away from the party with
which his whole public career has
been identified. His decision was
a disappointment to those who
favored the organization Of what
might be considered an indie
pendent republican party with
which various state organizations
might cooperate and still main
tain, it was hoped, a nominal
regularity.
There must be no compro-
mise, no straddle, /" Colonel
Roosevelt said. AS an indfca-
ton of his determination he said
that when he returned to Oyster
Bay he would communicate with
a number of democrats, who. he
thought, might wish to join the
new party.
When he had left Chicago
with the first plans completed,
Colonel Roosevelt expressed hinl-
self as pleased with the outcome
OF the onv ven t 10 n week,
although it was unexpected to
him. He said the way in which
his action had been received was
encouraging and he had a mass
of letters and telegrams from all
parts Of the country from both
democrats and republicans offer
ing support.
The chief point of interest to
Colonel Roosevelt's supporters
was whether they would be able
to carry with them the strength
Of the following which Roosevelt
has heretofore had within the
republican party. Some Of them
said frankly that the movement
was inaugurated OH the assump-
tion that, since Colonel Roosevelt
had been the choice of the party
IN number of republican states.
It would be possible to bring
these states in line for the new
party.
No plan has yet been decided
upon by which it would be posi-
Bile to effect such a transfer Of
workable organizations from the
republican party to the new en-
serprise. It is recognized that
here exists the danger of SO
many defections that in some
cases the machinery may be
either badly damaged in the
process or left in the hands Of
he regular republicans.

WASHINGTON PREPAR.
ING FOR LYCEUM
Entertainment.

Subscriptions to a lyceum en-
tertainment course for this place
to be given in Plonsky's opera
house for the season of 1912 and
1913, are being solicited by Prof.
w. c. Perrault, principal of the
Washington public schools, says
the Washington Herald.
There will be FIVE entertain
ments, most interesting and
varied in character. They will
consist Of vocal and instrumental
selections by skilled artists, inn
presentations, science demonstra-
tions, cartoon work, mimicry,
magic and legerdemain, etc. All
of the performers have won and
established a reputation. The
first entertainment will be given
in October and the others will be
given at intervals up to March of
next year.
A guarantee of a considerable.
amount must be assured the
agency bureau by those having
the enterprise in charge and as
the amount at which the tickets
for the course have been fixed
at the nominal price of 81. so it is
hoped that there will be no trou-
Bile in making the course a
surety.
Washington needs some good
entertainments and
this is an opportunity that ought
10 be improved and a venture
hat needs to be encouraged.

OPELOUSAS, LA, SATURDAY, JUNE 90 1919

| The decision of the Roosevelt
/ people, under direction of their
leader, to refrain from voting,
left no other candidate near the
president. The announcement
of the Taft victory was greeted
with cheering from his adher-
ents and groans and Kisses by
the opposition.
When it became absolutely GER
tain early to-day that Mr.. Taft
would be nominated without
great difficulty the leaders in
control Of the convention decided
to give him as a running mate
his companion on the ticket in
1908.
SHERMAN RUSHED ACROSS.
All others dropped from the
race and Mr.. Sherman was the
only candidate before the con-
vention. A motion from New
Hampshire to make the nomina-
tion by acclamation was declared
out of order. There were many
scattering votes on the roll call.
Sherman's vote was 597.
The convention, amid much
confusion, adjourned sine die.
At no time was there an indi-
cation of a WaIkout Of Roosevelt
delegates. T. ey expressed
their revolt by silence.
In the confusion just before
adjournment a resolution was
adopted giving the national COM
mittee power to declare vacant
the seat of any man on the COM
mittee refusing to support the
nominees of the regular conven-
ton of 1912.
''VALEDICTORY" OF COL
ONEL.
The revolt of many Of Roose-
velt delegates in the convention
was opened from the moment
the permanent roll containing
the names of contested delegates
was approved. A 'valedictory'
statement was read in behalf Of
Colonel Roosevelt asking that his
name be not presented, and that
his delegates sit in mute protest
against all further proceedings.
A great majority Of the Roose-
velt delegates in Illinois and all
IN the Missouri and Idaho dele
cations declined to follow this
advice, but Colonel Roosevelt S
sway over the delegation from
California, Kansas, NE aine,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota
md West Virginia was all but
absolute.

The DEMOCRATIC CON
VENTION,

Baltimore, June 26. Parker,
/ $40; Bryan, SOC; O'Gorman, A.
By that vote Judge Alton B.
Parker of New York was elected
temporary chairman of the demo-
cratic national convention.
Boss Muryhy of New York and
his allies, backed by Thomas For
tune Ryan, who is credited with
having dictated the selection of
Ehhu Root as chairman of the
republican national convention
at Chicago, thus triumphed over
the Bryan Wilson progressives in
the first test Of strength of the
convention.
The convention was called to
order at 1926 pm.
The natioual committee pre-
sented Judge Parker's name for
temporary chairman.
Mr., Bryan nominated Senator
Kern of Indiana. Bryan spoke
36 minutes eloquently, passionate
ly, advocating the selection of
Kern.
Senator Kern declined to be a
candidate. He urged that the
two factions agree on a third
man, suggested Senator Culber-
son Of Texas, Perceiving this
would not be done, he nominated
Bryan.
Con Johnson of Texas aroused
tremendous cheering by declar-
ing: The first is on now, with
Bryan on one side and Wall street
on the other
A roll call was ordered. Park
er was elected. He began the
delivery of his speech. Before
he had gotten far into it, the dis
order became SO great that Chair
man Mack of the national commi-
ttee, who was presiding declared
the convention adjourded until s
D. m.
Atthat hour, it was stated, the I
convention committee would be
named, and adjournment taken
% Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Bryan had nothing to say
when informed that the vote for
he temporary chairmanship had /
zone against him. The early +
oalloting evidently indicated to
he Nebraskan that he would be
lefeated, for he turned to a
'riend near him on the platform
md remarked:
1t looks as though they were
soing to beat lis. =
A few minutes later Mr., Bryan
.uit the platform unobserved,
nd left the convention hall. He
eturned to his hotel, and lock-
in1self ia his room, left word
nth the door-keeper that he
rould make no statement and
hat he did not desire to be dis
lrbed as he wanted to rest a
ouple Of hours.

GREAT VALUE OF THE BORDEAUX MIXTURE

Farmers, gardeners and fruit grow
ers can not fence OPT the many forms
of insects and fungi which live upon
their crops and which are as anxious
for a harvest as Is the grower. It Is
a fight between the grower and the
pest and the latter has generally had
the lest Of the battle. The farmer
has not been properly equipped. He
has often had invisible foes-foes
which he did not understand, hence
could not assail them and the gen
,eral result has been that the insect
or the fungus obtained an ample sup
ply Of nourishment and the grower
has taken what was left, but, thanks
Ito science, he need suffer in igno-
rance no longer
Power In Knowledge.
A study of the Investigations and
experiments which have placed in the
hands Of the intelligent grower ef-
fective methods of warfare Is as in
teresting as 1t is important; 1t re-
veals an educational movement which
stands unparalleled in the effect 1t
has had in broadening the horizon of
the agriculturist. 1t has forced him
to see that there is more in his bust.
ness than following the rule-of-thumb
process so long in vogue. 1t has EN-,
phasized the power of knowledge and
1t has demonstrated and is daily i'm
pressing the fact upon all who take
the trouble to see, that it requires
more brains than Drawn to succeed in
an occupation at which formerly even
the most ignorant could be at least
fairly successful. The ignorant are
going to the wall, and the student-the
book farmer" If you please, is push
ing them along and filling their places
when they are gone.
