SUFFERING IN EUROPE. The
Volunteering Washington
correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun, writing on.JUly %, says:
A diplomat who has lately
arrived from Europe, and who
enjoyed there great facilities for
observation, states that we can
have no conception of the degree
of suffering and distress that pre-
walls among the working classes in
England, France and Belgium, on
account of the war in America.
Still the people bear the calamity
with great fortitude, hoping for a
favorable change. Their condi-
tons will be rendered much worse
should the crops prove short, and
the cost,of bread and provisions
be increased. IEEerventions in any
but moral sense was not expect

Massachusetts is likely to be the
first to fill up the quota of voIun-

MISS RUTH LAW

The most thrilling entertainment in
the history of the Louisiana State Fair

Senator Ransdell Always On Job.

While every now anG then some
individual rushes to the foot light
and would have it appear that
without his influence and boasts
the waterways Of Louisiana would
never have been looked after,
there is no gainsaying the fact
that in this respect Senator Rams
dell is always on the job. With
Senator Ransdell this work is not
spasmodic, nor does 1t take him
by notions, he is continually on
the job. When it comes to water
ways, and their Improvement there
is no man who has been on the job
more persistentily than has Louis
iana's first champion of waterways,
Senator Ransdell. While some of
the boosters attended one meeting
this week, and were unstInted in
their own praises, Senator Rams
dell attended two or more, accord
ing to press reports, and was not
so eulogistic of himself in this re-
spect leaving the praise to others.

The general prosperity Of the
State is dependent largely on the
success of its agriculture; and its
agriculture has the most brilliant
OF futures because of the fertility
of the soil, if the farmers devote
themselves to the Investigation OF
products-for nearly everything
can be grown in Louisiana-in-
stead of concentrating their efforts
on q few staples. There is no
better and more certain way to-
reach the farmer and teach him
this lesson, says the Times icay-|
une, than through fair which show
how we'll crops thrive in Louisiana.
The fair season for the next two
months will prove a valuable ag-
ricultural course for the farmers
and will we believe turn our agri-
cultural course in the right direc-
tion--towards wider and more
varied cultivation.

The Dawn Of a New Era.

The signs Of the times, signs
that are not local but have spread
throughout the Union, show thai
many important changes in the
government of States are imminent.
For the most part for many years,
it has been believed possible that
an all powerful legislature, which
elected most Of the officers and
which supervised administration
by means of committees or COM
missions; by rotation in Office; by
direct election of State officers; by
putting into the State constitutions
laws on subjects previously left to
the direction Of the legislature or
by the direct domination of officers
by the voters; by provisions for
their recall and by direct legisla-
ton through the initiative and
referendum, were the ways to
reach the ends IN view.
While each Of these means have
been more or less successful, the
electorate for the most part has
been dissatisfied, and the Youths
Companion believes that the rea-
son is that from the drst the
theory Of checks and balances"
has been at the basis Of State
government; the governor has had
no formal control of legislation ex-
cept thru the veto and the other
principal State officers elected
directly by the people have been
free from his supervision. Coordi-
nation ard and official leadership
have been absent.
The Constitutional Conven-
ton Of New York, has just
drafted new laws that Will
give its governor more power by
grouping the administrative sys-
tenn in departments, the chief
officials of which shall be appoint
ID and removable BY him, and all
office holders. directly responsible
@ him for the quality of their
work, moreover he would have
he right to initiate legislation,
specially of a financial nature.
