front all civilization. She has
succeeded.
New York Herald: The Lusi-
tania was torpedoed without an
instant's warning to the doomed
passengers and crew. Even the
Black Hand gives warming before
lighting the bomb.
Mobile Register: According to
all just Interpretation Germany is
at war with the worlds ideal of
right and is public enemy. We
may lie down at this junture and
not do our part in defense of CIV
ilzation and of our own rights, but
if we do we shall receive and de-
serve the condemnation of en-
lightened peoples.
The Louisville Courier-Journal
says: Has not the time come not
only to put an end to all this but
to exclude the German Empire
from recognition by the family of
Nations? The German Govern
ment we may be sure will respect
nothing, feel nothing except the
pressure of force. Having legiti-
mized piracy and glori6ed murder,
the Empire can be brought to
some kind of proportion, some
realizing sense-if at all short of
the subjugation which awaits its
armies-only by the assertion of
the ruthless power it has invoked,
and we owe it to ourselves as q
Nation, and to our principles as
Christians and Republicans to as
sert it with a majesty which will
illuminate while it crushes, leav-
ing not line, or word to conject-
ure. Nothing else, or less, seems
ut all to meet 3 situation unexam-
pied, whichever way we take it,
replete with horror and peril.

WANT MORE MONEY.

When Gov. Hall last year vetoed
half Of the general appropriation
bill he gave as his reason that it
exceeded the prospective reve-
nues. That being the case it is
somewhat surprising to find edu-
Gators. heads of departments and
charitable and elemosanary in
situations calling for increases in
their allowances. The special
session has been convened to
prune, not to add to the items
which en- bloc the Governor de-
clined to approve. The appro-
priations committee ought not,
therefore, to waste any of the
precious time of the session in
listening to appeals which OBJ
viously it is in no position to grant.
-NeW Orleans States.
The States deserves the thanks
of the tax payers of Louisiana for
its protest against the contemplate
ed raids upon the State Treasury.
The Board of Supervisors of the
Louisiana State University last
March served notice that it will
ask the Legislature for especial
appropriations amounting toS1O4,-
900, for the enlargement and i'm
provement of the college of agri-
culture and a SIS, 900 increase in
the appropriation for the general
maintaince of the university in
1916" and, if the appropriation is
not made by the Legislature, no
doubt an appeal will be made to
the constitutional convention to
be called by the Legislature which
will convene next Monday. Heads
of educational and other public
institutions in this State, by their
constant demands, must think
that tax payers are entitled to no
consideration, whatever. And,
sad to say, far too many legisla-
tors seem inclined to the same
opinion.
The States advice is good, and
should be needed. This is no time
to dig deeper into the tax payers
pockets. Their burden is already
heavy enough, and, gentlemen Of
the General Assembly, you will
make no mistake if you sidetrack
all raids on the State Treasury.
Have heart for the person who
seems only to have friends during
primaries-the Louisiana tax pay
er.

From Our State Exchanges.


Lake Charles American Press:
Punishment always follows wrong
doing, whether the law inflicts it
or not.
The Arcadia Argus ''hopes the
General Assembly will refuse to
take action on the constitutional
question, at least for the present.
Assumption Pioneer: While a
majority of the newspapers OF the
State are willing to put up with a
constitutional convention, none OF
them are what you might say
''tickled to death"
Assumption Pioneer: The best
time to hold a constitutional con-
vention is before the election, if it
must be held at all, but even then
it will not accomplish what it is
expected to, if sectional and po-
litical lines are not completely
eliminated.
New Orleans States: Under
our present system two-thirds of
the legislation that gets on the
statute books is utterly worthless.
1t enacted without intelligent
consideration and if it isn't freak
ish in character it represents little
more than than the views of the
introducer when it isn't intended
to serve some selfish end.
New Orleans States: When
Kaiser Bill, the Hun, thinks of the
Lusitania and the destruction of
the lives of more than a thousand
helpless men, women and children
we fancy seeing him rub his hands
with satisfaction and hearing him
exclaim: ''Ah, there was an ex-
plot worthy in every way of At
tia my barbarian ancestor.
Vermilion News: The conven-
ton should be held before the State
primary, for the very important
reason that a number of constitu-
tional offices should be abolished,
and the people demand that this
shall be done. But, if the conven-
ton isheld after the State primary,
these useless officials will have
another long pull at the State
Treasury, and unite to defeat the
proposed constitution, if it abol-
ished their Offices.
WestFeliciana Democrat: Bad
ly as the State needs development
it were better that its farms should
become a garden of nettles, its
swamps remain unreclaimed, and
its virgin forests uncleared than
that foothold be given within its
borders to this pestiferous people,
[Japanesel who can only be COM
pared with ants-insects notably
as clever as they are tiny, but
which are undeniably and undevi-
atingly a pest wherever they ap-
pear.
Vermilion News: A number of
politicians oppose the holding of a
convention during cheated cam
paign." Of course they do. They
desire to avoid committing them
selves to any policy, and others
want to get in before certain Of
fees are abolished. The conven-
ton should be held first, and each
candidate should be required to
pledge himself in plain English,
that he will vote for the abolition
of certain useless offices, and other
reforms, and these should be
stated. ......

 United States whether white or Eski- mo or Indian, is Q citizen, and as such entitled to vote The subject has been much discussed ill times past i'll the states, however, and a decision of the Supreme Court has been handed down ill the matter. I am not prepared at this time to state the title of that case which was taken to the Supreme Court, but the decision Ol tEe Court was Ill effect that the word jurisdiction as used il Il ( amendment, mears the co np,ete political IS we'll as Judicial jurisdiction; and that while all Indain might be member of q dependant tri; c, he might &t the same time be a member of all alien tribe, owing allegiance to atribal Chief, and therefore not q citizen within the meliig of the Fourteenth amend melt to the Constitution.
 Looking into the matter further, we find, 1 think it was i'll the case of Wilkins vs Elk that the Supreme Court decided that when an Indian has severed his tribal relationship, he becomes a citizen of the United States automatically, with out any formal process of naturalization.
 My personal opinion is that the Natives of Alaska, especially of this coast region, owe 10 allegiance to any tribal Chief, and therefore under the decision above mentioned, they are citizens of the United States.

 Dear sir
 In reference to the article published in the Northern Light for which you request an answer,I 1 will state that there has been great deal of discussion on this subject and while some contend that natives should not be allowed to vote, others hold that they are citize,.s of the United States, aEd as such gre entitled to tlle right of franchise.
 The treaty of Cession letween Russia and the united states by which Alaska was ceded to the United states provides i'll Article III under the heading Rights of Inhabitants i'll ceded territory;' as follows: "The uncivilized tribes will be subject to such laws and reg llltio IS as the United states may from time to time adopt ill regard to aboriginal tribes of that country.
 This treaty was ratified a:.G pro- clamed Juue 9, 1867. With leter- ence to the laws of tie Unite, States governing the members of aboriginal tribes, we will start with the XIV amen nlme.lt to the Constitution of the US which is i.l part as follows: Section I. All persons born or naturalized ill the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and
