DR.. T. ]. Harrison, Mr.. M. E.
Jackson and Mr.. C. w. Payne, of
ward seven, were in Colfax on
Tuesday, interested in schools,
the re-establishment of farm
demonstration work, and other
matters. We have heard a wide
interest expressed by the people
of Grant for the re-establish-
ment of farm demonstration work
in this parish, and we hope our
police jury will take up the mat
ter at its next session and act ia
vorably upon it. AS the u. S.
and State will sup
plement the appropriation made
by the parish, it would be a sui
cidal policy for our police jury to
refuse to make this appropriation
for the benefit of our farmers.

Shall We Vote for Extra Judge?

In another place we print an
article from the N. o. Times-Pic-
ayune, entitled Contradictory
judicial Amendments" in which
two acts of the late legislature
are criticised as "a stupid blum
der of the legislature" and the
criticism is made that the sue
cess of the amendments for ex-
trl juIgeships will lead. more or
less, to a judicial raid at the
next session-a demand for more
judgeships for lawyer-politicians
out of a job" And the recon-
mendation is made that the peo-
pie vote down these two amend
ments.
This conclusion is the logical
outcome of an analysis of the
situation, such as we discussed a
couple of weeks ago, and we be-
lieve if the voters thoroughly un-
derstand the conflicting nature
of these two proposed amend
ments. and the covert jobbery
employed to do Grant parish an
injustice, they can have no pa
tience with the proposition, and
will vote it down.

and st. John wholly unrepre-
sented. No. z provides that the
election for Judge shall be in De-
cember; No. -, that all four
judges shall be elected Nov. 3,
the same day as the amendments
are voted on. These elections
will. of course, be null and void
if the amendments are defeated.
4 + X
If we need a reorganization of
the district courts, it should be
done intelligently, after a careful
investigation of the conditions in
each district-the amount of
business handled by each judge
so that those who are over
worked shall be relieved; and it
should certainly not be done by
favOritism or log-rolling methods.
We have created three new judge
ships because of the press of
business in the last sixteen years;
it is proposed to create at one
election four more. The success
of the amendment will lead,
more or less, to a judicial raid at
the next session, a demand for
more judgeships for lawyer poll
ticians out of a job. = = :
Let the people vote down these
amendments, and send them back
to the legislature with instruc-
tons to that body to revise our
judicial system in toto, but only
after careful investigation, deal
ing fairly and equally by all parts
of Louisiana and making the sys-
tenn uniform and perfect in all
its districts.

Important to Cotton Growers.

We publish this week a letter
from Paul M. Potts, President
of the Louisiana Division of the
Southern Cotton Association, call
ing for the cotton growers, mer-
chants, bankers and business
men to meet in conference to
discuss ways and means to dis
pose of the cotton crop. 1t is
proposed to hold a meeting in
every parish seat on Saturday,
Sept. 19, to organize parish as
sociations and elecr one delegate
to the State meeting in Alexan-
dria on Tuesday, Sept. q, the
Alexandria meeting to elect Off
GERS and delegates to attend a
central meeting in New Orleans
on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
The question of handling the
cotton crop this year is a serious
proposition, and it behooves every
man who has the welfare of his
neighbors at heart to do what he
can to relieve the situation. A
movement has been started for
every man and woman who has
the means to Buy a Bale" of
cotton at not less than ten cents
per pound, and hold it until the
price goes above ten cents or un-
til they are forced to sell. This
movement has gained consider
able impetus in the last few days
and if the plan is followed Loyalty
by all who can spare the money
there is no reason why the cot
ton crop of 1914 should not bring
ten cents or more.
We hope that every cotton
grower and business man in
Grant parish will meet at the
court house in Colfax next Sat-
urday, Sept. 10, and cooperate
with each other in helping to
find a solution for the cotton sit
uatiOn.

President Wilson, Theodore
Roosevelt, and other big men
have joined the Buy a Bale"
movement. If every man who
can spare the price of a bale of
cotton will buy a bale and retire
it from the market, our cotton
crop can be made to bring a hand
some revenue in spite of the con-
sumption being lessened by the
European war.

Wilson Uuges People to Pray for
Peace.

u
Peace.
Washington, Sept. 8. -Presi-
dent Wilson signed a proclama-
ton Tuesday calling on the Peo-
pie of the United States to pray
for peace in Europe.
The presidents proclamation
sets aside Sunday, October 4th,
as a day of prayer.
President Wilson'S proclama-
ton was as follows:
Whereas, Great nations of
the world have taken up arms
against one another and war
now draws millions of men into
battle whom the counsel of states
men have not been able to save
the terrible sacrifice, and
Whereas, In this, as in all
things, it is our privilege and
duty to seek counsel and succor
of Almighty God, humbling our
selves before Him, confessing
our weakness and our lack of
any wisdom equal to these things,
and
Whereas, 1t is the especial
wish and longing of the people
of the United States in prayer
and counsel, and all friendliness
to serve the cause of peace,
Therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson,
President of. the United States
of America, do designate Sunday,
the fourth day of October next,
day of prayer and supplication,
and do request all God fearing
persons to repair on that day to
their places of worship, there to
unite their petitions to Almighty
God, that overruling the counsel
of men, setting straight the
things they cannot govern or al
ter, taking pity on the nations
now in the throes of conflict, in
His mercy and goodness showing
a way where men can see none,
He vouchsafe His children heal
ing peace and again restore once
more that concord among men
and nations, without which there
can be neither happiness nor
true friendship, nor any, whole
some fruit of toll or thought in
the world; praying also to this
end that He forgive us our sins,
our ignorance of His holy will, |
our willfulness and many errors,
and lead us in the paths of obe-
dience to places of vision and to
thoughts and counsels that purge
and make wise"
In witness, whereof, / have
set my hand and caus-
ed the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washing
ton, this eighth day of Septem-
Der in the year of our Lord, one

ton.
On September 9 and 10, 1914,

days of its sitting rendered a
most interesting program of six
sessions, morning, afternoon and
night.
This association is non-secta-
rian and mathematician in
its scope, having affiliated among
its membership several hundred
Sunday schools of the State
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian,
Christian. Episcopalian and other
Evangelical organizations. The
discussion of its affairs were a
surprising revelation of the bene-
fit and great usefulness of the
association to many persons who
attended its sessions.
State Field Secretary Van Car
ter, of the State organization
was present during the delibera-
tons of the association, and add
ed a great deal of interest and
enthusiasm to the occasion by
his ready and Jealous interest in
the work.
The official representatives of
the parish organization present
were as follows: Mrs. Lula
Wardlow, president; John l. Nc
Cain, vice president; Miss Mol
I've Stewart. secretary. The fol-
lowing delegates and representa-
tives were present: Mrs. o. P.

in Grant parish. Of this num-
Der twenty-three have reported
statistics and otherwise affiliated
with the parish organization.
The twenty-three schools that
reported have an enrolment of
1873 officers and 1915 pupils. AS
there are 1888 children enrolled
in the public schools, the associa-
ton hopes to enroll that number
in the Sunday schools of the par

Colfax convention represented
eleven Sunday schools, six Meth

ion schools.
The parish officers elected for
the ensuing year are ]. A. Christ

was one thanking the Colfax

ment during the session.
