AS man who has taken an active
interest in public affairs in Louisiana
for more than thirty years, it appears
to me that our political system is
radically wrong and works to the great
detriment of our State.

tions for Office but often elect him be-
cause he is good fellow or needs

No farmer, merchant, manufacturer,

Making Designs Against

The new applications we have on file
from some Is parishes for State aid
for 1915 road work embraces something
like 225 miles Of roads, with the proba-
bility that this will be increased by the
first of the year by applications from
other parishes, extending the total to
something like $50 miles, of which
probably 200 miles will be placed under
construction within the next twelve
months. Some parishes have applied
and constructed under State aid almost
every year since the organization of
the department; however, each year

West Feliciana, July IL, 1915. !,
Editors of The True Democrat:
] have been waiting to see if you
would issue some message of warning
to the people of our parish relative to
the proposed constitutional convention
and the selection of delegate, but as
you have not, / would like, through
your paper, to give them something to
think of during the short interval be-
tween now and the 9th of July (the
day Of the election).
1t seems from actual figures that the
State is getting deeper in debt from
one administration to another, and
that the last legislature made appro.
priations near $400,0 in excess of the
revenues of the State; and to raise
this money, and provide the means for
more, constitutional convention is
necessary, and $4,000 to pay the ex-
penses Of the convention.
Now how is this money to be raised,
except by an increase of our taxation?
And are we in condition to stand 1t?
AS a matter of fact, the State Is less
prosperous than ten years ago, and the
people less able to stand raise; and
one-half of the real estate owners of
this parish are paying their taxes after
the prescribed time Jan. u with a
penalty.
The danger of convention is Its
unlimited power; and being composed
of politicians, office-seekers, ward
bosses, etc., as will undoubtedly be
the case, there Is no telling to what
extent they may go. The State now
needs 100000 for back debts, and
double more for future expenditures.
So what have we to expect If it is
allowed? Did you ever hear of con-
vention reducing the expenditures, and
abolishing an office except to create
another more expensive? making places
for future retired governors, judges,
etc. The interests of the people and
taxpayers, is of no consideration; the
whole thing is self and my friends
and associates. See the list of candi.
dates throughout the State and New
Orleans-many of them members OF
the legislature. Do they look like
reformers? II we could have con.
vention or legislature composed of
intelligent farmers and business men,
who would go there in the interest of
reform and good government, we would
have fewer and better laws. Does the

tiers affecting the States welfare.
No Governor would ever dare betray
such responsibility, OF be willing to
go down In history, disgrace to his
State. In my humble Judgment, each
would strive to set a high mark for
efficiency, economy and honesty.
Let Louisiana be the first state to
try this plan, which has worked so we'll

"a YEARS in BONNERS FERRY

When one has labored earnestly
side by side with others for a long
period of years in pursuit of a COM
mon aim, there grows up a feeling of
friendship and attachment between
those so laboring together. 1t is be-
cause of this long and common pur-
suit of the same object that the Bon
ners Ferry Herald now enjoys the real
friendship of a large number of the
citizens of this section, a friendship
that finds its expression in large and
growing list of subscribers, which, by
an actual comparison with the tax
rolls, shows that this paper each week
is a welcome visitor in fully 95 per
cent of the homes of Boundary coun-
ty, record that very few papers can
claim.
For "a years this paper has been
closely associated with the growth and
development of formers Ferry. The
Herald has seen the town grow from a
struggling pioneer settlement on the
banks of the Kootenai to the village
of its present size and promise. The
Herald has witnessed the town and
section experience waves of prosper
ity and periods of depression; it has
seen times of great promise and times
when the future looked not so bright
and the expected development was
slow. But through it all this paper
and a number of strong-souled citi-
zens have firmly maintained that ev-
entually the growth and development
would come and, holding fast to that
faith, have worked to that end. Now
after "a years of such difficult and yet
pleasant work together, the Herald, on
the very anniversary-week that the
paper made its first appearance, wit
nesses, with much pleasure, the for
nation of a new county with our own
town occupying the enviable position
of the new county seat.
With this issue the Herald steps
into the 25th year of its existence, be-
! lieving the year to be one of much
promise. 1t believes the town and vi
entity are on the threshold of quiet
commendable development happily de-
void of all those pernicious effects due
to short-sighted booms. 1t expects tc
see the town gradually improve and
fully abreast of this growth, closely
associated with it and factor in it
the Herald expects always to be found
AS in the past, our policy will still
continue to be one of steady growth
with the growth of the town and vi
cinity, never attempting anything bu
a sane expansion but always giving
the community a paper just a trifl'
in the lead of the development of thu
country. And when we chronicle tn
anniversary that shall put us pas
the quarter-century mark, we are sur
we will have a better and large
town, more highly developed an

CENSORSHIP AIRED

London May I.---Some details of
the working of the British censorship
have been given out in the house of
lords by the government in response
to an inquiry from Lord Bryce, for
NOR ambassador at Washington.
There are three branches of the

spokesman. "All are under one gen.

THE cable censorship, which is un-
der the control of an officer of the
general staff, deals with, roughly, So
600 kilograms day There are $50
OF these cable censors in the United
Kingdom and between 800 and 400
In other parts of the empire.
THE postal censorship has u staff
of about 500, mainly civilians For
obvious reasons it is impossible to
give q list of persons whose letters are
not liable to censorship. but ! may
mention that all letters addressed TO
either house OF parliament pass un-
censored
THE press bureau proper is under
the control OF the solicitor general,
and there are about fifty assistants,
naval, military and civilian. The cen-
sorship is carried on in accordance
with instructions from thew ar office,
the admiralty, the foreign office and
other public departments.
"A white paper will later be is
sued dealing with the censorship.
1T is contrary to the desire of the
government that anything i'm the ma
ture of criticism either of tho govern
ment or Of the individual members of
the government should be sup
