Tertiary and deaf and dumb school are

| A traction contest was held in which
thirty companies were entered. I went

an eighty acre field in less than two

Crossing the Clearwater we begin
ascending the Craig mountains. After
climbing along the side of deep can

Steady Now.

Months ago the JOURNAL announced
that the constitutional convention would be
called. The JOURNAL did not favor the
call, but we have never doubted that the
measure would be put through. 1t is to be
hoped that the campaign to be inaugurated
as result of the convention call will be
one in which measures, rather than partizan
politics, will be discussed; and that propo-
sitions of organic law, instead of past polltl-
cal records, will occupy the time OF the
public speakers and writers. Watch the
text of the proposed constitution and at
tend to political disorders later. There is
already tendency to mix dead politics
with the live issues. The time will soon be
ripe for the men who have promoted the
convention to outline the improvements that
they intend to make. If such promoters
make good and offer to the people real re-
forms and an improved constitution; then it
will be the duty of every voter to stand by
them.
In the meantime let US keep quiet;
both eyes open, with the swatter close at
hand. A good sportsman makes as little
noise as possible when creeping on the
game.

ROney for Commissioner

A special from Baton Rouge to the
Times of the 9th says:
"The Louisiana Agricultural society,
the largest association Of farmers in the
state has come out in strong resolutions
urging R. X. Boney, of Madison parish, to
make the race for commissioner OF agrlcul-
ture and immigration. "Mr. Boney's name
has been mentioned for some time as a
possible candidate, and while he has made
no announcement it is believed that ne Will
make the race"
Prominent agriculttrists have been IN
sisting that Mr.. Boney announce for the
office of Commission Of Agriculture. Mr..
Boney has the matter under consideration
and may decide to make the race.
Mr.. Boney is not politician and 1t Is
questionable whether he can afford Il
neglect his planting interests to accept thf
office.
MIR. Boney is practical farmer OF larg'
experience and no better man could b.
found for the position. The supper
rendered him, as indicated in the dispatch
above, would give MIR. Boney good star
in the race, and will be appreciated by MI
Boneys friends in North Louisiana.

The Special Session.

The second week of the special session
of the General Assembly is closed. The
issues Of Importance discussed during the
week were pretty well threshed out and it is
now possible to draw fair conclusion as to
the final outcome of the proposed legisla-
ton.
A constitutional convention will be
ordered to consist of one delegate from
each parish, two members at large from
each congressional district and with from
ten to fifteen from the state at large. The
delegates will be nominated by the people.
The bill, thus modified, will meet with much
less opposition than was at first expected
The antitrust schemes of the sugar
planters will be passed in most drastic
shape. The public announcement of the
position of many members of the House and
Senate indicates that but few Of the mem
bers have the temerity to 60 on record as
opposed to antitrust legislation.
The primary bill is meeting with oppo-
sition, but some measure will be passed to
prevent the Progressives from practicing
the "double shot" game in future elections.
The "grave financial conditions, (which
were responsible for the troubles of the
special session, seem to have dropped out
of sight.
| Appropriations will be made to cover
the balance of the two year term.

Advance information is to the effect
that Germany will decline to abandon sub
marine warfare; will give assurances that
non-combattants will be protected in the
war zone; and will admit that Germany was
not justified in sinking the Lusitania if it be
shown that the vessel was unarmed. If the
Information gives the correct position of the
German government, then the danger of
war, as result of the destruction of the
Lusitania, is over and Americans can feel
relieved Tor the present.
