Notice has been given by Sen
ator G.. w. Smith that he will
introduce a constitutional amend
ment abolishing the State Legis-
lature and substituting Board
of State Managers therefor. This
is not surprising, nor would it
at all impossible that an amend
ment to that effect would be
adopted. The people Of the
State are becoming d,sgusted at
the ineficiency displayed by the
present legislature and the man
ner in which it wastes time on
trifes.-St. Mary Banner.

POLITICS..

In the soulful and heart STIR
ing appeal made few days ago
in the city press by the leaders
of the Progressive party Of Louis
lana, we are forcefully reminded
Of that old but true proverb
which reads; "All that glitters
is not gold" In this appeal is
contained severe arraignment
of the Democratic Party and a
clear mental picture of whole
sale desertion from the Demo
cratic party's ranks, is drawn.
Now let us sum-up the situa-
ton in this Congressional District
which is admitted to be the bat
tie ground for the waging of one
Of the fiercest political contests
ever remembered by us. True,
there has been considerable talk
of the election of a Republican
or Progressive Congressman
over a democrat. and there has
also been talk of there being alb
solutely no chance for any one
but Democrat being elected to
Congress from this District. It
is also fact that with the ex-
ception Of the Blooms started dur
ing the last few months for two
or three probable candidates for
Congress, there has not been even
