THE ROAD TO NOWHERE.
New Orleans Daily statesl

How bad an impression the row
of the rival river advocates in New
Orleans is creating in the rest of the
State is well illustrated by an edi-
torial in the Lake Charles Ameri-
can-Press.
We suggest these lines to those
who are insisting that Louisiana
shall present at Washington the
spectacle of community at each
others Threats over a proposition
that concerns the lives and property
of more than half the people.
The advocates of the Ransdell- Hum
phreys bill and the Newlands bill, it
seems, cannot agree even upon a har-
monious discussion of their various pro-
iects. They are obliged to hire two halls
and hold two meetings, and pass two sets
of resolutions that will neutralize each
other, and will lead the chilly-eyed West
ern Congressman to conclude that they
are not very much in earnest about want
ing the river improved, since they quar-
rel so fercely over the method OF i'm
provements
The row between the New Orleans riy-
or improvement factions broke out last
spring with. all the suddenness and feroc-
ity of a backyard tomeat fight One mo-
ment all was peaceful and serene, and
the next the air was full OF objurgatlons,
double leaded editorials and black tr'thic
caps. Others in the country districts out
side OF New Orleans may have been able
to divine why such bitterness i displayed
! by two sets of gentlemen working for the
same object, but through different chan
nels, but We confess il Is beyond the task
of the American Press.
1t il not likely that the State at large
will care to take hand in New Orleans
squabble over such vital matter.
The most unfortunate part OF the
quarrel is that it will probably de
feat any legislation at all at the
coming session of Congress and in
definitely postpone federal control
of the Mississippi.
A united effort by the people OF
Louisiana, working with those of ;he
States of the lower valley, woulG
probably result in the passage OF the
Ransdell-H Humphreys bill and give
immediate relief, without in the
slightest degree affecting the pros
poets of what is known as the New
lands bill.
With Louisiana, the State most
deeply concerned, hopelessly divid-
ed, there can be no lt";r that Com
gress will favorably consider the
Ransdell- Humphreys bill; and ev-
cry ten-year-old child knows that
adoption of the Newlands project
before it has had the exhaustive in
vestigation and approval of engi-
neering commissions, is an irrides-
cent dream.

BATON RGU6E LETTER.

Fifteen Rains! Whoup! Whoop! Whoo-
oo-ee! igers flullabaloo Ra-Rai Tulane.
Su u CALCULATIONS as these are largely typ
i.a Of hat La~ he,u happening al the
Louisiana stale University for the past
week. With weeks Of preparation culmI-
rating last saturday, over three thousand
people came to Baton Rouge to see the
= "a: annual football game for the State
championship between Louisiana State
University and Tulane. 1t was a great
game, even if the Tigers did wallop the
Tulane eleven to the tune of HOO. The
streets of Baton Rouge rang for one whole
day with the cheers and yells'of the two
schools. The city was brightly decorated
in its best regalia for the great crowd.
The girls from Newcomb were here vying
with our goods in emitting screechy yells
And then the iolliest OF them all were the
alumni, who had put away business cares
for a day. They were here, there and every
where, telling of their school days and Of
the gridiron battles of long ago.
As far as football games go, the game
wasn't much. At no time were the Tigers
in any danger, and only once did Tulane
have a chance to score. This lone hope
came when Woodward attempted a place
kick and failed. The Tigers used old-style
foot ball crashing again and again through
the Olive and Blue line for gains of ten,
twenty and even thirty yards. Lawrence
Dupont played the best ball for the Tigers
but the whole team was in the best of con-
dition and showed up mighty well Wood
ward and Mailhes did tie most effective
work for Tulanians.
The Tulane students are good lOosers.
Not whimper was heard and they stood
rightly their team until the final whistle
blew. They danced merrily down the
streets returning from the game, their
band playing AS loudly and "raggedly"
as ever Some few If them left for
New Orleans Saturday night, but the
majority remained over for the dance
given in their honor that hight Aud that
dance 1t was full dress affair With the
most elaborate decorations. Every girl
in approachable distance OF Baton Rouge
was there in her newest and best dress
and the affair was pronounced the great
est social function ever given at the Uni
versity.
The members Of the Constitutional Cen
ventiOn attended the game, While they
have been in Baton Rouge they have be-
come closely connected with the Univer-
sity. number of them have been in
frequent visitors on the campus, and

court Thursday night

ton, Texas, Thanksgiving day will end

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

After a session of two weeks, the
Constitutional Convention complet-
ed its work on last Saturday night
and finally adjourned.
No changes were made in the old
Constitution except as to the date
at which acts Of Legislature shall
become law, that time being fixed
at ten days after PRONUNCIATION and
being uniform throughout the State.
The provision of the old COnstitu-
ton on that subject made laws 60
into effect the day after promulga-
ton at the State Capital and fifteen
days after PRONUNCIATION in all other
parts of the State.
The other changes, or rather new
matters embraced in the new Con
stitution, were the so-called trust
ordinance authorizing the Attorney
General to proceed against all COM
binations doing business inthe State
commonly known as Trusts, and an
ordinance in regard to the Fire Mar
shall in the City of New Orleans
The Trust ordinance, in our opin-
ion, might well have been left to the
Legislature to be disposed of and is
of doubtful value because it is i'm
possible for any one State to cure
the evil aimed at it in the ordinance
because it is of little consequence to
drive out Trust from one State
when only the power of the Federal
Government can be successfully in
voked to prevent such combinations
from doing business in that State
while domiciled in another.
On the whole, the Convention did
the work for which it assembled
quickly and well and throughout its
deliberations there was a spirit OF
harmony and good feeling which
materially helped in expediting the
work.

A new BOAT.
ciples.

From the schedule published be-
low, it will be seen that the Steam
err Cordill, which has for many
years piled between Natchez and
Vicksburg, has been placed in the
trade between Vicksburg and Green
vile, her place being taken by the
Steamer Ben Hur, recently bought
by the owners of the Cordill. Capt.
George Prince is, we understand
to command the Cordill, and his
brother, Capt. Ed. Prince, will be
master of the Ben Hur.
While there is not much travel
by boat now along the river between
Natchez and Vicksburg, people along
the river will learn with regret OF
the departure of the Steamer Cordill
to another trade. For many years
that boat has made daily trips along
the Tensas front and many pleasant
memories are associated with her
and her officers.
Following is the schedule:
Steamer Cordill leaves Vicksburg every
Tuesday and Friday ats A. NJ. forGreen-
vile. Freight received every Monday and
Thursday.
Str. Percy Swain leaves Vicksburg every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1880
A. NJ. for Lake Providence. Returning
leaves Lake Providence every Tuesday,
and Saturday at $3.50 A. M.
Str. Ben Hur leaves Nicksburg every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday at noon
for NatcheZ.

The Chief agrees with the opinion
of the Tensas Gazette that Louisi-
ana is disgraced by the prevalent
practice of keeping insane persons
confined for indefinite periods in the
common iails of the various parishes
because there is no room for them
in the asyulms or hospitals built and
maintained for the proper care and
treatment of such unfortunates.
This abuse has been in vogue for
many years and means should be
devised to abrogate it. 1t is repug-
nant to every sense of decency and
propriety, and violative of the basic
principles of humanity and individ-
ual rights to put mentally afflicted
persons on the same plane with law
breakers and subject them to the
punishment melted out to criminals.
The general assembly should make
provision at its next session for prop
erly housing and treating the State's
insane, and Gov. Hall will be doing
a duty he should be glad to perform
by urging such action in his message
to the Legislators of the State when
they assemble in May, 1914

A DIVIDED HOUSE.

The fact that two conventions, one in
the interest of the Ransdell- Humphrey
bill. the other in that Of the Newland>
hill. will be held on Saturday. the 18th
inst. in New Orleans, is deeply to be
regretted.
The ell-Humphreys bill, as we
have had occasion before to say, is prac-
teal plan to protect the lower Mississippi
valley from overflow. and could undoubt-
edly be passed at the coming regular SEES
sion of Congress, if it were not for the
strenuous effort being made by the advo-
Gates of the Newlands bill to have Con-
gress consider that scheme.
Senator Ransdell has come from wash
inston to address the convention in favor
of the measure which bears his name and
the other meeting is to have among IT.
principal speakers Governor Hall and
Ex-Governor Sanders. What the outcome
Of this division Of opinion among Louisi-
anians on this vital question will be no
man can predict but it certainly cannot
have the effect Of furthering the cause
which both conventions are advocating.

WEATHER AND CROPS.

The weather continues very dry
and cotton picking is practically
finished throughout the parish. Soon
the last bale of the staple will have
been ginned and sold and the crop
of 1913 will be thing of the past
There is very little consolation or
money to be extracted from this
crop, and the only thing good about
it that suggests itself to us is that
we can he sure that we will never
have a worse one.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 9th
(Special)-The Tenth Annual Con
yention of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress which will be
held in this city December 3, a and
5 next, is expected to bring to the
National Capital the largest gather
ing of waterway enthusiasts ever as
sembled in this country. Governors
of States, Mayors of cities, and com
mercial bodies have been busy APP
pointing delegates to the Congress
which is next to the Federal Con-
gress in importance. At least half
dozen executives of States will head
their State delegations, the import
ance Of the meeting being most gen.
orally recognized.
The presence of President Wood
row Wilson at the head of the pro,
gram nationalizes the Congress and
his position on some of the prob
lens of river and harbor develop
ment will be watched with interest.
Mr.. Wilson, as Governor of New
Jersey, was looked upon as a friend
of improved waterways. Now that
he has been elevated to the highest
office in the gift of the people, bis
utterances will be listened to with
even greater respect, as it is expect
ed his address will indicate the pol,
icy OF his administration toward these
highly important arteries OF trade
and commerce.
1t is expected by the officers of
the Congress that two thousand will
be in Washington next month to
participate in the deliberations of
the organization which stands for
broad and comprehensive policy of
waterway development and which
has been markedly instrumental in
bringing about the passage of an
annual river and harbor bill.
With the early completion of the
Panama Canal the South and West

DOOLY GRAND JURY
INSISTS ON AUDIT
OF COUNTY'S BOOKS

CORDELE. GA. Jan 22.-At the last
session of the Dooly superior court, held
in Vienna recently, the grand jury rec
commended that the books of the coun-
~ officers, which had not been audited
for several years, be checked up by eX-
pert public accountants.
The ordinary of the county placed
this work in the hands of Charles New
lille, a certified public accountant. Of
Savannah When his representatives
appeared on the scene. the county com
mfssioners told them they would re-
fuse to approve their bill for payment.
The commissioners also gave the coun-
ty treasurer orders not to allow the au-
ditors TO have his books.
The grand jury has now taken steps
10 force the commissioners to pay for
the auditing by having the ordinary
sign with them a contract for this work.
Solicitor J. b Wall, of the Cordele ju-
diria circuit, informed the grand jury
that if such a contract was made. it
would be legal and binding and the
treasurer. commissioners and other Off
GERS would have to turn over their books
to the examiners for auditing, and that
an order from the grand jury would be
sufficient authority for the treasurer to
pay for the work.
