They had the best oI lne a..A
ment; they had justice, precedent,
and the record on their side; but
they were forced, as it were, to
plead before prejudicial court,
and they lost. They deserve the
gratitude of every one in the sugar
district for their great unselfish
fight. 1t is a serious matter for
Senators to antagonize pet
measure of the administration.
1t means loss of influence-loss of
prestige, and perhaps, the enmity
of the administration even though
the antagonism is based purely
on principle and right. They did
not consider themselves. Know
ing that Congress was about to
perpetuate a great wrong based
on error-knowing that those in
power were about to strike down
ruthlessly great and established
industry, and ruin true and loyal
people who can live and prosper
by that industry, they bravely
went into the combat and sacri.
ficing self, have resisted to the
bitter end.
Although defeated, we say, all
honor to the Senators from Louis.

The Bonded Debt,

The bonded debt of the State of
Louisiana to about the amount of
eleven millions of dollars must be
taken up by the 6rst Of January,
1914. The State has not the cash
in its treasury to pay the bonds,
and yet they must be paid when
due II the credit of the State is to
be preserved.
Several months ago Governor
Hall provided for the floating of
new bonds, to the amount of the
present bonds, and called for bids
Tor them at par. There was little
or no response to the call. In
other words, the bonds could not
be doated for fifty years at four
per cent. which Is required by the
constitution. The Governor con.
suited with the presidents of the
banks in the State with whom
the funds are deposited, and
sought their assistance in getting
purchases for the bonds. We un-
derstand, the 6nanciers represent
ing these banks, informed the
Governor that it is impossible at
the present conditions surround
ing the money market for the
State 60 float her bonds for fifty
years at four per cent. interest.
The constitution of the State
permits only the issuance of fifty
year bonds at four per cent. in.
te1est; there is no demand for
such bonds. Still the debt is fast
maturing, and the honor and good
name Of the State are threatened.
It locke like the only solution of
the difficulty is through a Consti.
tutional Convention. Though the
time is short, still it is long
enough for an extra session Of
tho Legislature to call q Constitu.
tional Convention and let the peo.
pie decide the matter whether
they will authorize the Governor
70 sell the bonds at a higher rate
Of interest.
The convention can be, and
should be q limited convention.
Il should be limited. and restrict.
ed to THE financial question only.
Il should be kept free from all po.
litica1 influences whatever. The
BANNER believes that for the
above reasons a Constitutional
Convention is necessary to save
the credit Of the State; and we
favor . limited convention, aud
suggest that it's labors be restrict.

OFFICIAL VISIT
TO LAUREL SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT sTEARNEs Ann
SCHOOL INSPECTORS MAKE IN
sPECTrON OF REFoRMAToRY.
DAY WAS PROFITABLE
EDUCATORS FIND LITTLE TO RE-
COMMEND IN WAY or I'M
PROvEMENT-wIL VISIT
INDIAN SCHOOLS TODAY,

AS a part of definite plan to CO.
ordinate and simplify the work of
the department of public instruction,
superintendent r. c. Stearnes. Secre-
tary E. K. Chesterman and School
Inspectors Lincoln, Terrell and Wor-
rell visited the Laurel Industrial
school or State reformatory yesterday.
The day was spent most probably
in the various rooms and an hour
was given to a round table discus
sion between the teachers and the
school men representing the State de-
partment.
The Laurel school has already won
something more than State reputa-
ton. DR.. Hart, the expert of the
Russell Sage Foundation, having de-
clared in his critical examination OF
the reformatory in all it's departments
that he had no suggestions to make In
regard to the school, which he said
was admirably managed by Miss r.
Myrtle Grenels and her able y. corps
superintendent of the institution has
also expressed his high opinion of
the discipline and work OF the school.
Objects of Inspection.
The inspection by the State depart
ment was intended to accomplish two
things:
/: A searching inquiry by the ex-
peTts of the department with the view
or suggesting any further and possible
improvements In methods or curri-
culum.
2. The development of the efficiency
of the State department itself by pro-
moting uniformity in State inspection.
The members of the Inspecting corps
are trying to agree upon certain
Tor everywhere and certain definite
standards.
1t is believed that this will unite and
encourage the teaching force and
make the efforts fthe department
or public instruction much more ef-
fective.
To Visit Indian Schools.
tomorrow the same body of men
will GO to the fine one-npom school on
the Pamunkey Indian reservation and
give the entire day to the problem OF
learning how to make the one room
school meet the demands of the times
and of the people.
While yesterdays trip to the Laurel
scnool was in no sense a 1unketing
excursion. 1t was not without many
enjoyable features for the visitors.
Ihey got well acquainted with the $50
or more youths in the institution, and
heard number OF them recite. After
the dinner hour public assembly was
neid and the boys sang and recited or
read compositions and told stories
Then followed speeches by Superin-
tendent Stearnes and all OF his official
subordinates. These addresses an
parently fell on most appreciate ears
as the boys were liberal in the mat
ter of applause.

RESTRAINED FROM
CUTTING TIMBER
j. w, HUGHES CLAIMS THAT TIM
BIER is BEING UNLAWFULLY
CUT. FROM PROPERTY.

An injunction, restraining William
II. Baker, w. T. Warmer and w. B.
Pemmon from cutting timber on the
property of j. w. Hughes. of varina
district, was awarded yesterday af-
ternoon by Judge r. Carter Scott in
Henrico Circuit court.
In the bill filed by his counsel.
Julian Gum, Hughes alleges that
Warmer and Pemmon. to whom the
timber on adjoining property. own
ed by Baker, had been sold, had cross
ed the boundry line and cut large
quantities of timber therefrom. He
declares further that recently he en-
ployed surveyors to establish netes
and bounds and monuments between
the two pieces of property.
The injunction expires May 18th
unless some delay Is experienced. The
parties against whom the injunction
has been gotten out are also restrain
ed from removing any of the timber
cut by them from the place.

VAR|NA SCHOOLS
CLOSE TUESDAY
BROOKLAND DISTRICTS TO
RUN FULL SESSION

Schools OF Varina district. Henrico
county, which, by means of individual
contributions, were not forced to close
month ago, will not remain open
after next Tuesday. Most of the
schools in this district had to be dis
continued April for the present ses-
sion for the lack of appropriations.
The schools of Tuckahoe and Fair
field districts will close on June LIST.
while those in Highland Park and
Brookland districts will remain open
the full term of nine months.
The school board of Henrico county
has experienced considerable worry
this year In trying to run the schools
the full term with the appropriation
assigned by the State. However, some
OF the money was expended in i'm
proyements, and it is believed that
the entire number of schools in the
county may remain open at least eight
months next year.

TO MEET AGAIN ON
GETTYSBURG GROUND
BLUE AND GRAY TO ADVANCE
TOWARD EACH OTHER. BUT
THIS TIME TO CLASP HANDS.

MIDDLETOwN. n. Y, May L.
The interesting spectacle of Union and
Confederate veterans of the Civil war
occupying the same ground. and ad-
vancing upon each other In the same
manner as took place in the battle Of
Gettysburg. fifty years ago. will be
seen at the great reunion to be held
on that battlefield in July, wKh the
difference that instead of advancing
upon pointed bayonets the veterans
will meet with outstretched hands.
New York State has appropriated
&z6. 900 to send veterans to this re-
union. and 1t is expected there will
be more veterans present than have
been on the feld since the Civil war
The suggestion that the Confederate
veterans unite with the Union veterans
on this great occasion emanated from
Henry Howell, OF the 124th regiment.

dorsed by Grand Army posts all over
