No Constitutional Convention

The problem OF refunding the
debt can be solved without the ne
cessity for q Constitutional Conven-
ton. II il becomes certain that the
present bondholders will not accept
the new bonds in exchange for their
old holdings. the Legislature can be
called together 10 authorize new
to be submitted to the
people providing either for a more
attractive rate Of interest," OF the
payment OF sufficient commission
on the sale Of the securities.-New
Orleans Picayune.
The Picayune is right. A Constitu-
tional Convention is not necessary
since the credit of the State can be
maintained and the obligations d
the State met without political agi-
tation. The bonds Of the State
should be acquired by the banks
doing business in the State and by
the people who would invest their
savings or their surplus in securi-
ties that are safe and profitable.

Mediation Accented.

The offer of the EurepeatPower
to mediate between the Balkan al
lies and Turkey has been accepted,
at least that is the substance of the
report from authoritative sources.
The first step towards peace is
armistice and then mediation, which
as rule usually leads to a settle
ment of the differences arising be-
tween the combatants. The results
finally may not be exactly what each
OF the contestants or cOmbatants eX-
pected, but each must be satisfied
with his share, even if it be dry
bone.

Is Shot by Waiter Dawson, Aged
Thirteen Years.

w. E. Emmins, aged II years, a
newspaper seller, was shot by Wal
ter Dawson, aged 13 years, son of a
farmer, whose home is on Douglas
Island.
This morning Emmins, who is
from Birmingham, Ala, and one Of
his chums named Roy. took possess
sion OF Walter Dawson's boat, who
demonstrated with them, but they
paid no heed to his pleadings but
instead he was abused in words not
printable. On the spur of the mo-
ment he ran to his home nearby and
got his gun. When he reached the
edge of the water near Twelve Mile
Bayou he urged the return of his
boat, which Emmins and Roy had in
mid-stream.
To their abuse OF words he fired
his gun, loaded with No. s shot,
which took effect in Emmins' breast
and one eye. Roy escaped. f.
On returning the boat to shore
Roy skippedje Emmins was conveyed
to the hospital by Superintendent
Goss of the waterworks, who was
witness to the shooting. From the
hospital is the report that Emmins
is not seriously shot, but will lose
an eye.
Shortly after the report OF the
shooting had reached the sheriff's
office, Deputy Tanner arrested the
boy at his home. Walter Dawson is
a hard-working boy, whose parents
are limited in means. His statement
was given without evasion.

THE COST OF THE
WAR IN EUROPE

1t has been taken for granted that
the introduction Of modern arma-
ments, equipments and methods has
largely increased the cost Of war. Yet
if some figures submitted on the cost
of the Balkan war are 20 be accepted
al their face value, the increase can
rot be as great as was supposed.
IL is estimated by European author
titles that the cost of this lastet waF
hes reached total Of $72, 100000 Tho
war was begun nearly three months
ago and the heavy expenses were only
eurtailed when the armistice was sign
Cd and fighting was suspended. The
armies are stil in the field and the
cost Of maintaining them continues to

AN APPEAL TO ABOLISH
EMPLOYMENT CHILD LABOR

The Humane Calendar of the Ameri-
can humane Education society says
the first leaf of 1913, 'sThe last Sun
day in January is Child Labor day.
1t is necessary TO educate men and
women regarding child labor, what it
really is, and how dearly it is costing
the human race
1t is our national disgrace that hun
dreds of thousands of boys and girls,
under sixteen, in this country, are
working while other children play or

Boys of nine and ten years are en-
ployed i'll the ccal mines and breakers.
Hundreds Of little boys work all
night long in glass factories.
+ Little messenger boys are ruined
by night calls at houses of vice.
Charles T. Neill, U. S. Commission
er of Labor, says: ''These children
are working for us. They are working
for me. 1ney are working for you.'
Even the ones own state has an
effective child labor law, the people
in the state use child labor, for they
buy clothes children in other states
have helped to make, or shoestrings,
straw hats, trimmings. Florence Kel-
ley says no one can stand up and say
his or her clothing is innocent of child
labor.

ASK new TRIAL
FOR FRONHOFER

This morning George Fronhofer,
convicted last month by a jury in the
District Court of the murder of Peter
Laux, was brought into court to re-
ceive the sentence of life imprison-
ment imposed by the jury.
After a recital of the facts of the
case, judge Dleker asked the prison.
er if he had anything to say why
judgment shonld not be pronounced.
At this point Judge b. F. Curler sub
mitted a motion for a new trial, upon
the following grounds:
l. That the jury in said court and
cause were guilty of misconduct. tend
ing to prevent fair and due con.
sideration of the ease.
2. That The Court, in said ease.
misdirected the jury in matters of
law.
3. That the Court erred during the
trial of said cause in the following
particulars, to-wit: Then follows an
enumeration Of alleged errors on the
part of the CoUrt.)
4. That the verdict of the jury
was contrary to law.
5. That the verdict of the jury was
contrary TO the evidence.
In support of the first contention, al
leging misconduct on the part Of the
jury, Judge Curler submitted several
affidavits from citizens wro deposed
that they had heard two or more of
the iurymen, giving their names, state
after the verdict had been returned,
that Fronhofer was convicted. not be-
cause they believed he was the man
who fired the fatal shot. but because
they believed he knew all about the
affair.
Judge Curler Judge Robins and At
torney Sslter, for the defendant, and
the district attorney for the State,
then entered into a discussion Of the
other points submitted, and the argu-

OF MARBLE
GOVERNED BY FOUR FACTORS

Although marble is considered su-
perior for statuary and ornamental
purposes to many of the other stones
III its ability to withstand the action
of heat, cold, snow and rain, it's wear
ing quality IS governed by four fac
tors-its chemical composition, its tex
ture, the general character of the eli
mate to which it is exposed, and the
local artificial conditions of the sur
rounding atmosphere. Both ealeite and
dolomite marble are soluble in ear
honie acid. which is brought down
from the atmosphere in every drop Of
pure water. 1t is generally known
that carvings European marbles will
stand exposure in the climate of
southern Europe much sSetter than in
that of our eastern ssates. One
authority states that in the dry atmos-
phere Of Egypt, Greece and Italy mar
BILE statues after an exposure of 1000
wears lose s0Me of their fine lines, but
become coated with fine protective
crust. This same scientist, however
refers to number of Norwegian
churches built partly or entirely -
Norwegian calcite marble which have
stood 600 or zoe years exposed to the
raw. windy and cold climate of north
ern and western Norway with but lit
tie if any weathering. The amount
of weatherins. other things being
equal is probably related to the de-
gree of humidity of the atmosphere
and the amount of rainfall. Though
weathering Is mainly due T. sraaa
dioxide brought down hv rain. il IS
probably due in part to nitric acid
