Cooperation is Commended.
Il am proud to be an American grain
man." said Lee G. Metcalf OF Illiopolis,
ILL.,, president of the Grain Dealers Ma
tional association Throughout the
chaotic period of business since the war,
American grain men have steadfastly ad-
hered to justice and equity truth and
right in handling grain entrusted 10 them
by the farmers. and have not generally
fallen victims to the great temptation TO
take advantage of inflated grain prices,
and jump contracts, with resultant loss
to other dealers and 20 the producer"
President Metcalf commended the CO.
operation among grain men, such as
in the present convention, which he de-
clared was showing careful consideration
for public needs, as well as for the good
of the trade. The grain men must ever
consider thee welfare ana happiness of
their fellow men, he asserted, Tor the
always be placed above the rights and
privileges Of the grain dealer
THE last twenty-five years have seen
wonderful improvement in the grain
trade, and it is largely due to the CO.
operation and organized effort Of the
dealers" he said. Put the grain bust
ness on an even higher, better and more
useful plane" he urged He invited the

Opposed to Unsexinq Humanity.

Sex qualification for suffrage may have it's apparent inconsistencies No general rule adjusts itself perfectly to all conditions IL Is n favorite ar eumeut advanced by the proponents ot woman's suffrage that many cultivated and noble women are far more capa- ble of intelligently exercising soy. ereignty than worthless negro. but the South never was anxious for negro suffrage. and while culture and refinement. and even morality. are desirable virtues. they are not the only qualifications for franchise
 The primary. inherent and insep- arable fitness for suffrage Is support. ing family The blow handle, the forge and the struggle for bread af- ford experience necessary to properly mark the ballot, Government Is a great big business and civilization from the very beginning assigned woman the home and man the bust. ness affairs of life
 There has been much freakish leg islation enacted during the past de. cade that no doubt appeals to woman B love for the ridiculous. but to under. take 10 unsex the human race by law is the height of legislative folly and a tragedy 10 mankind
 We are opposed to the equal rights of woman-we want her 10 ever re- main our superior We consider womans desire 10 seek mans level the yellow peril of Twentieth Century civilization
 Woman is the medium through which angels whisper their messages 10 mankind it Is her hand that plants thoughts in the intellectual vineyard, :, 1t Is through her heart that hope. love and sympathy overflow and bless man kind. Christ--the liherator of woman, kind-was satisfied to teach the lessons of life and He Was d man. He chose to rule over human hearts and re- fused worldly power and men followed after Him. women washed His feet. little children climbed upon His knees and the Ruler ot the universe said that in Him He Was well plea ed Can woman find higher calling?

THEM:STOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by his host at dinner party to enter tain the guests by playing the lute. he replied that he could not play the fiddle, but that he could make q small town great city. We have fin this nation many politicians who are good "fiddlers" but they cannot make a small town a great city, We are over run with orators who can play upon the passions of the people. but they cant put brick and mortar together We need builders.
 Let those who hunger and thirst for power understand that the highest glory of statesman is to construct, and that 1t Is better for n man that he should build a public highway than that he should become Governor of a state. and that he start blow than that he become the author Of law The true test of statesmanship is the plow ana the hammer. so let those ~ho would goye:-- first build.

Saturdays s Game.

In postponed game on Warren ground Saturday the local lads. with Big Lee on the mound. crumbled the league leaders fondest hopes, by the score of five to two. IL would have been five to nothing had not couple of costly errors been made Lee for the locals pitched wonderful ball. allow ing the fast Warren team only two little bingles, and one of them scratch Lees stick work also assisted very materially in our scoring as he scored two men with single in the sixth inning. The big blonde showed up mighty good and with little polishing will be one of the smoothest pitchers in the league.
 Bond. the lad with the sixteen inning fame of last year. was helpless before the mighty onslaught of the locals He was pounded hard at critical times, ani was touched for total of twelve hits
 Warren scored two runs after two men were out in the eighth inning. but up until this time only one man had reached third

WHY SHOULD
 WOMEN VOTE?
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF LEADING
 FARMERS.

Why should women vote? That Is the question that Is ringing from ocean to ocean and reverberating from the Canadian boundary to the Mexi- can border II is the mission of a newspaper to give the news and the action of the Texas Farmers Union in opposing womans suffrage when that question was recently before the Texas legislature is significant as representing the attitude of the or ganiZed plowmen. We reproduce in rart the argument presented by Hon. w h Lewis. president of the Texas Farmers Union in opposing the bill.
 It is gratifying to note that it is not the farmers wife who is clamoriug for the ballot. She is too busy trying to make happier homes. mold ing the minds of future citizens and sharing with her husband the cares of life to indulge in political gossip. The ballet will give her no relief from drudEery give no assistance in cloth. ing the children or bring to the home additional comforts eonvcniences or opportunities in life Ii is as rule. the city woman promoted to idleness by prosperity. who is leading the suf- traeette movement
 From many standpoints. perhaps n woman has as much right Co vote as man So has she as much right to rlow as a man, she has as much right to work in q factory as man, she has as much right to shoulder musket as q man. but we would rather she would not do so from choice and we regret that necessity ofttimes compcls her to earn q living by en- gazing in gaiRful occupations We do not consider misfortune qualitca- ton for suffrage or business acct dent reason for granting franchise We are opposed to woman at the ballot box the same as We are on- posed 10 woman in the field. in the factory or in the army and for the self.same reasons. We had rather see her plant flowers than SOW wheat. gather bouquets than pick cotton and rear children than raise political is sues. although she may have as much right to do one as the other.

CONVENTION BILL IS
ADOPTED IN SENATE
Five Parishes Are Allowed Two
Delegates Under New Measure
OPPONENTS EXPECTED TO
!. MAKE FIGHT IN HOUSE
sunberry Constitutional Convention
Bill Is Passed in Senate by Vote
of q OF Misrepresentation Cut

After the insertion of an amend
ment substituting each congress
| sional district for the original pro-
vision of twenty-five delegates at
large, the Senate passed the Sun
berry constitutional convention bill
late Wednesday evening by a vote
of 27 to 10. The convention will
contain t3l delegates as the bill now
stands; one from each parish and
| New Orleans ward and one addl-
tional delegate from Caddo. Cal
casieu, Rapides, Ouaehita and East
Baton Rouge.
The bill reached the House on
Thursday from he Senate: it will
be next week before the House will
be able to take action on the con-
stitutional measure. when it is ex-
pected that the opponents of the
measure will put up a stubborn re-
s%istence.
It is expected that the real con-
test will come upon the question
of delegates at large. The elev-
enth hour Senate amendment to
this feature of the bill represents
a compromise position which i'm
mediately won favor with several
of those who have stood out against
the twenty-five delegates at large.
With Speaker Thomas leading
the fight against the administration
and with ex-Gov. Sanders and AT
torney-General Pleasant lobbying
on the outside it is thought that
Baton Rouge will be the scene of
the fiercest political battle seen in
the Capital City in many years.
The Observation-Disclosures
ret-Michel combination is expected
to be too strong for opponents of
the Sunberry bill and many, who |!
are opposed to the measure, are of
the opinion that Speaker Thomas
and his allies cannot prevent the
adoption of the convention meas
ure.

Engineer Roberts to Make Official
Map of Waxia District
TAXPAYERS ARE ANXIOUS
TO DRAIN THEIR LANDS
RepOrtef hal Tax viii Have No
Difficulty in Passing in Naxia-
Bayou Boeuf Drainage District

Engineer w. B. Robert, appointed
by the police jury to make a COM
plete survey Of the proposed Bay
on Boeuf-Waxia Drainage District
completed his task during the week
and within the next few days will
make a detailed report. as well as
a map of the proposed district.
The most prominent taxpayers of
the Northern end of st. Landry are
bent upon securing a substantial
drainage system, so that crop fail
ures will be a thing of the past and
that the price Of their lands will
be materially increased.
The proposed drainage district
will be one Of the largest in this
section of the state. The parish
lawmakers assisted the taxpayers
OF the Waxia section in making the
preliminary moves in the organiZa-
ton of the district and it is e1-
peeted that the tax will be passed
with very little if any opposition.
The farmers Of st. Landry arc
daily becoming aware of the neces-
sites of a complete and substantial
drainage SYSTEM in this parish. 1t
has been shown that CROPS on drain
ed lands pay for, the drainage only
in the difference of quality. The
high lands. as we'll as the low lands.
are benefited by dr. Nnage.
Wherever drainage distrits have
been formed and results obtained
from the tax money the farmers
have been satisfied, not only on &C
count Of the fact that larger crops
can be raised. but on account of the.I
superior quality.
1t is not known when the tax |
election in the Northern section of
st. Landry will be called but it is
expected that within the next few
weeks it will be known definitely
whether the rich lands of Waxia
and Bayou Boeuf will be drained as
expected by the boosters Of the
proposition.
