LAYING OVER TRIVIAL POINTS.

The Dumser controversy shows upon
what frivolous pretexts the courts can
have their time wasted. The law was
plain as to the Governors rights in the
case, and yet in an effort to discredit
him, the suit was carried through two
courts, while really important matters
doubtless waited Equally frivolous
was the Samuel Montgomery vs. Peter
Hanley. The latter, though able to
read and write sought to register un-
der the property qualification. The
plainest magistrate would have decid-
ed that the property clause was mere
ly alternative to the educational quail
ification, but ring politics wanted con.
fusion, and Supreme Court judges had
to sit gravely upon so obvious a point
of law.

AS TO FREE SUGAR.

The anti-sugar element in North Lou
isiana is expressing itself by sundry
public endorsements of Mr.. Wilson's
course. Many others of us who are
friendly to sugar and who wish to see
this industry not only escape annihila-
ton, but receive some fostering care
as well, nevertheless recognize the ne
cessity for the Democratic party to
meet the expectations of those who
carried it into power. If they asked
for free sugar and expect free sugar
and every one knows the truth of that
situation, then they must have free
sugar, or the party must address itself
to the task of teaching the people the
evils that would follow without any
comPensations whatever. 1t is seen by
those who have studied the subject
from the outside that the Sugar Trust
is interested in free sugar. This bodies
no good to the people in general, and
if the friends of sugar can once prove
this fact Enthusiastically, the Democracy
will soon lose its relish for free sugar.

BATON ROUGE WANTS COMMITS.
SION FORM.

The mo quorum" farce at Bator
Rouge, which was an object lesson Of
obstruction. has accomplished some
good 1t has made the commission
form of government so attractive tc
the people at the capital that they pc
titioned for an election to consider the
adoption of the commission govern
ment; and it is likely to carry.
The trend of thought is all toward
the election of all officials, but to de.
crease their number and to fix respon.
sibility. There can be only the Ques.
ton Of a short time when a small
board of commissioners will supplant
the police juries and school boards in
the parishes, while similar boards will
govern the towns. No one can doubt
that the plan will be infinitely better
than the cumbersome plan of ward
representation now in vogue in the
parochial bodies. All persons familiar
with the workings of school boards and
police juries are aware that a few
men only on each board are active. In
them the real power lies, but when the
question of fixing responsibility arises,
the individuality shifts.
The writer has thought for some
time that this matter of condensing
the paroChial boards into commission
form would be a good work for the
next Legislature to take up and act
upon. There would be greater econo-
my of the expenses incident to admin
istration, equal if not greater efficien-
cy, and full responsibility.

The criticisms of President Wilson
for his negotiations and consultations
with Congress are met by the Chicago
Public with the remark that Mr.. Viii.
son has only done openly what other
presidents have done secretly; that
he has reasoned where they have
threatened or worse. The Public also
thinks that such frank dealings are
the Presidents right as he has legisla-
tive, as well as executive duties, be-
cause of his veto power. A journal
nearer home, the Baton Rouge Advo-
cate has we'll said that the people at
large do not regard Mr.. Wilson's course
as any usurpation of power because
they have faith in Mr.. Wilson and trust
his reasons and motives.

woman's rights when properly desig.
mated and defined. One of these, in.
deed, we never question; namely, the
right to have the last word.-Morgan
City Outlook.
This old, old gag hardly settles the
question. unless our able contemporary
is willing to admit that women have
the last word because that having ex-
hausted the subject, there is nothing

LET LOUISIANA PEOPLE
BUY LOUISIANA BONDS

The suggestion of a popular pur-
chase Of the new Louisiana bond pur-
chase as advanced by Governor Hall
has, so far as we have observed, been
endorsed by the Country Review and
this paper only. We had hoped to see
it take a greater hold upon the public
mind, fire the popular imagination with
a fervor of endeavor to preserve the
financial good name of the state
That such a response is not imme.
dtately made is no doubt due to an I'm.
derhand working of events to force a
constitutional convention. Gov Hall
opposes anything that would mean an
extra burden upon the people, but the
entry who hope for a new deal through
the makeup of constitutional con.
Vention care little enough for cost
either in per diem, of members or com.
missions and more interest for the
banks. This is the matter in a nut.
shell.
A popular purchase of these refund
ing bonds, either wholly or in part,
would, as we said, last week, be a con.
yincing advertisement for Louisiana,
showing that those who know the
State best have entire confidence in
its future.

paragraphs too good to lose;
