Party PURITY.

The extra session of the General
Assembly, to be called by Governor
Hall for some time during the late
winter or early spring, will be one
Of the most important held for many
years, and the task cut out for that
body is a very hard one. The Gen.
eral Assembly will be called upon to
either increase the revenues of the
State or to bring the total apprppri-
atoms within the revenues, a very
difficult task as none of the State in
stitutions are now properly provided
for. So important will the work Of
the Legislature be, that nothing
should be injected into it's proceed
ines that might cause dissension
among it's members or defeat or
hamper its important work, but we
do not think that the inclusion. by
the Governor, in his call for the ex-
ira session, Of legislation that would
prevent the members Of one political
party from participation in the pri-
maries Of another could possibly
have such a result. All parties should
agree that each political party in the
state should have the right to man.
age its own affairs and nominate its
own candidates without let or him
derance from another. We do not,
however, think that legislation along
these lines should be 80 framed as Ia
drive people out Of any one party
and keep them out. The bill pre-
pared by Senator Burke during the
session Of 1914 and known as Senate
bill No. 230 seems to cover the
case. Under its provisions. all par
ties would hold their primaries on
the same day, and it would be
q misdemeanor for any person Ia
participate in more than one such
primary. and every voter offering
to vote at primary election would
be subject to challenge and require
to state on oath that he would sup
port the nominee OF that primary
It seems to US that such q law would
cover the case very well.

THE DEleAns.

Between France and the German EN-
pire, there is a little kingdom called Bel
GUM. This country has indeed contrib
uted much to the civilization and pro-
gress of the world.
The Belgians are thrifty and intelli-
gent people, they have strong and brave
minds and ready to stand by one anoth-
err and protect their small dominion.
When the great war broke out they ex-
pected to remain neutral, not because
they we're towards, or afraid to face the
guns of the enemy, but because they hon.
ored their country and saw no reason to
engage in such struggle, and then they
were at peace. with the world. When Ger
many's great army crossed over the Dor
der, making Roadway for France, II
marched through the heart OF Belgium,
leaving it in devastation and ruin. Bel
GUM foresaw her fate. The signal for wal
was given. Quickly she mobolized hei
troops, men of all ranks rushed to the
front. They marched against that enor-
nous army and held it back until French
and English troops could join them. The
whole world stared at such marvel.
Every heart swelled in great admiration
for these little people. Now this country
lies i'm ruins, the great art galleries and
museums, colleges, hospital and famous
buildings, which it has taken lifetime
to build, are all destroyed, and, worse
yet, the poor people, who once had &c
much, are starving. Many homes have
been destroyed, and the great loss OF life
is appalling. We, like the mighty throngs
and masses, extend our heartfelt sympa-
thy to these brave little people in their
hour of greatest need.
One of the students of the High School,
filed with sympathy for these people be-
cause of the many reported atrocities, and
heroism under affection, started a relief
fund in the school by the sale of home
made candy. He has met with success
and will send his collection to swell the
fund of the Times Picayune.

We publish elsewhere the minutes Of
the meeting Of the Southern Cotton As
ISOLATION OF Madison Parish, containing
. call for a general meeting Of the plant
ers and farmers of North Eastern Louis
lana. The object of the call is to
have q meeting of the planters Of
North East Louisiana for the purpose Of
forming permanent association. There
can b no doubt that such an association
would be productive OF great good to
the farmers throughout this section. The
greatest trouble with our farmers to-day
l. that they do not get together and swap
ideas. II such an association were formed
and several meetings held each year at
different places it would be equal to a
term ct school to those who attended the
meetines and listened carefully to the dis
cussion Of various agricultural subjects.
Cooperation among the farmers would
Be productive of great good and advant-
age to all, but cooperation cannot be had
without organization. Many subjects could
b taken up by such an organization, such

other subjects, and il such an organize
ton succeeded in doing nothing but teach
ing the people OF the country the value Of

mand for same it wonld be worth many
