Commission Government.

Two parishes of the State have nrder
consideration the adoption of the provis. ons
of the Powell bill-Cats houla and Gao do.
The Powell bill was pass ed at the last re,e.u-
lar session of the legislature and provides
for commission form of government for
the parishes. The act makes it optional
with the parishes to adopt provisions putting
the parish under commission government.
made up OF three commissioners, each to
have control and supervision of separate
branch of work. The commissioners to
supeacede the police jury and also exercise
the functions of assessor, clerk of police
jury and treasurer, all of which offices to be
eventually abolished.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
system will be but little less than that now
incurred, but it is surprising that more at
tention has not been given to the act mas
much as it provoked bitter controversy at
the time Of its passage.
We are unable to understand wav the
act should appeal to any parish, but it NAV
be that it affords an opportunity in Caddo
for the city of Shreveport to elect all the
members, and thereby open up the old fight
against prohibition.
The act provides for the recall and re-
ferendum, which provisions should be suffi-
Gent to warrant any parish in letting the
act alone.

T9hfenin6 The Screws

There was meeting of the Louisiana
Prohibitionists at Alexandria during the
week. The meeting was we'll attended,
quiet and orderly. There were few cases
OF auto-intoxication, but otherwise the
meeting was rigidly temperate. The reso-
lutlons passed were of an extremely mild
type and indicated that all the members
wanted was state wide prohibition, and this
to last only until national prohibition could
be secured and the sale and manufacture of
liquor prohibited. To accomplish the de-
sired end, mild methods and humble per-
sauslons were recommended. Governors,
Legislators, congressman and senators were to
be brought before the proper dignatariesof
association and examined as to their liquor
the sentiments. No harsh force to be used in
the examination, but chidings and warning
to be given those whose answers were not
acceptable. The congressional district is
recommended as the basis or unit for local
option. Thus to creep on New Orleans and
take that citadel by stealth rather than by
force.
limitations were given out that no
candidates were to be supported by the men,
bers except those who held clean examina-
ton papers on the liquor question. Politi-
cal matriculation required one hundred
points, these points made up of a clear GER
tlficate as to the standing of applicant on
the liquor question.
Candidates, otherwise we'll qualified for
the several positions of trust and honor
may feel some resentment towards the Or
ganization, but the signs now point to the
fact that the plans of the prohibition st will
larry and that they will ultimately subiu-
gate the state.
Some are, no doubt, willing to sacri-
ice some personal liberties in order to
lave settled these issues and to rernove
rom political activity those leaders who
iesire to make the liquor issue paramount
o everything else. If the adoption of p 20
nbition will remove from prominence he
ct OF men who must make every candid ate
ubscrioe to their veiws, whether os-
essed OF other qualities for office or not,
hen many will be willing to vote for ,ro-
lbltion, with the hope that in killing. the
liquor traffic there will also be destroye / the
professional agitator of the cause.
The sincere prohibitionist is to be ad-
nlred. But can we admire his eff; ut to
orce others to think and vote as he wills?

will deposit thirty million dollars with the

necessary to negotiate loan can be com
piled with.

Latest dispatches from Washington ar

Latest dispatches from Washington are
reassuring on the subject of our controver-
sy with Germany. Opinion in official circles,
as reflected in press dispatches, is that the
crisis Is passed, and that Germany disclaims
any intent to cause the loss of life of Amer
acaas on the Arabic; that the destruction of
the passenger steamer, was contrary to in
Structions given to submarine commanders,
and that such instructions will be general in
the future.

Last Call.

The New Orleans papers announce that
Governor Hall is preparing statement of
the measures that he will recommend to the
Constitutional Convention. We have no
idea Of the text Of this statement and regret
thatit has not been given out sooner. It is
not possible to get this statement in the
hands of the country voters before the day
ct the election, which takes place next Tues
day. No one can doubt that the country
Hote will be against the call. This oppos-
zion is, in great measure, due to the fact
that no satisfactory statement has ever beer
given as to the matters to be submitted to
the Convention. We can well understand
that had the people been fully advised as to
the defects in the present constitution and
informed as to the details of the measures
suggested to remedy the defects, that a
change Of sentiment may have been aroused.
1t goes without saying that the people would
give their support to necessary measures,
and that if they fail TO do so, then it is be-
cause they have not been shown the need
Tor the convention or that they do not ap-
prove the project.
The country press demanded bill of par
ticulan more than six monts ago. The vote
Tuesday viii answer the question as to
whether the demand has been complied with.

Is
Waiting for
the Recess

Washington, Dec. fo-The first week OF
the s4th Congress, which is destined 10
be historic in the nations annals, reveal
ed a determination on the part of admin
istration leaders to attempt no serious
legislative business except 70 re-enact
the war tax law until the holiday recess
is over.
Minority Leader Mann does not expect
to have his committee assignments ready
until Tuesday, and little can be done be-
fore Saturday, when Congress plans to
adjourn until Jan. for the Christmas
holidays. Both Democrats and Republi-
cans Of the Senate will be ready with
their committee reorganization tom GROW,
but there is no disposition in that branch
to undertake consideration of any i'm
portant legislation at once.
Tomorrow the committees will be APP
proved, after which some days may be
passed in executive consideration of re-
cess nominations and perhaps the pend
ing treaty with Nicaragua.
