A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of COM
panionship, civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
nv amending an agreement to which
she was not a party
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God Likewise
man should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to Gebase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and ur-
ashamed.

POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

1t is sad day for Christianity when

tide of religious political fanaticism'
put bitterness into the lives OF men;
fan the flames of class hatred and de-
stroy Christian influence in the COM

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

There never was a time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of gov
eminent, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes of
politics and make them carry banners
in political professions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top of power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed, and
while most of them have said, Get
thee behind me Satan" few have
fallen with a crash that has shaken
every pulpit in Christendom.

WHY IS WOMAN
RESTLESS?
DESTINY OF NATIONS DEPENDS
UPON COMMENTED HOMES.
BY w D. Lewis.
President Texas Farmers Union.

PRESIDENT IeSaS Farmers Union.
Why is woman dissatisfied? Why
does she grow restless under the
crown of womanhood? Why is she
weary of the God-given jewel OF moth
erhood? Is it not a sufficient political
achievement. for woman that future
rulers nurse at her breast, laugh in
her arms and kneel at her feet? Can
ambition leap to more glorious heights
than to sing lullabies to the worlds
greatest genuises, chaut melodies to-
master minds and rock the cradle Of
human destiny?
God pity our country when the hand
shake of the politician is more graft
flying to woman's heart than the pat
ter of children's feet.

FROM the STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.

To improve health conditions in a COM
munity or State, the people, the local
officials and the State department must
work together with unity OF purpose and
a clear idea of practicable, remediable
measures.
The first requisite to success is knowl-
edge OF conditions; the second, concert
ed action to establish the essentials OF
community health.
To this end the State Board OF Health
has called for July 1915, 1915, New Or
leans, conference of health officers,
parish and municipal, with an invitation
to all other physicians interested.
Every State doing effective health work
provides for an annual meeting OF its
health officers, the unit jurisdiction pay
ing the expense incident to the attend
ance of its own representative. Expert
ence proves it to be profitable commu-
nifty investment.
Appeal has been made to the Police
Jury of each parish and the Mayor and
Council of each incorporated unit to vote
the amont sufficient tor the expenses OF
its Health officer.
Invitations have been extended to ply
sicians noted in lines pertinent to our
needs and program helpful in every
detail will be presented.

The Conservation Commission of Louis
lana requests publication of the follow
ing:
Acting under authority vested in this

amended by Act A of 1914 for the pro-

Be it Resolved, That the open season

We are satisfied that we voice the
sentiments Of at least ninety per
cent or more of the people of this
parish, when we say that we oppose
the holding Of Constitutional Con-
vention, that we fear that the Con-
vention will be more of q political
mass meeting than, a Constitutional
Convention, and that the relief and
reforms in the Constitution which
the people hope to secure will not
be forthcoming. We fear there will
be too much wire pulling and too
many efforts made to advance the
interests of this or that candidate.
We fear that the public school sys-
tenn, which has made such rapid
and wonderful advancement and
improvement in the past few years,
will be hampered in its further pro-
gress by those who have fads or
hobbies which they wish to see
written into the organic law.
We fear that our over-burdened,
tax-riddened people will be further
taxed, and we fear that office hold
ers will be increased instead of re-
duced.
We are for these reasons, and
others, opposed to the Convention,
and urge the people of the parish
to vote against at the election on
the 31st of August. But if we are
to have the Convention, then it is
to be hoped that the people of the
various parishes, and wards of the
City Of New Orleans, will elect none
but good men, and that when the
delegates assemble on the 14th of
September. they will cast aside all
partisan or factional feeling, all in
terest in this or that or the 9TH
er candidate. and endeavor to write
for Louisiana a modern, up-to-date
Constitution, one that will serve the
needs and answer the purposes Of
our people for many years to come
without changes or amendments.

to the object and result of his re-

Vidalia, La. June 25th, 1915.
Dear Sir:-I attended the meet
ing Of the Mississippi River Com
mission at St. Louis on the 2lst.
Senator Ransdell and Mr.. Hill
joined me at Lake Providence. We
reached St. Louis Sunday morning
and held conference with Maj.
Kerr. and representatives of other
Levee Boards from the State Sun
day evening.
While every one came prepared
TO raise strenuous objections to what
we understood to be the Commits
sions' order for future engagements,
Wig: (straddle or both land and
river side) it was agreed in the
caucus that Maj. Kerr act as spokes-
man in presenting the States views
on the subject and each Board be
prepared to back up his arguments
in case the Commission called on
them.
At the meeting Of the Commits
sion at 10 a. m. 2lst, COL. Town
send spiked our guns by entering a
disclaimer at the opening of the
meeting of any intention Of carry
ing out such plan Of enlargement,
stating that all was misunder-
standing and that all engagements
would be made from the river side
where practicable.
Maj. Kerr expressed the views of
the State Engineers on the subject
Of engagements and stated that
while in the past they had done
some land side enlargement they
found from experience that it was
inferior and wrong.
Representatives of different Levee
Bosrds expressed opinions on the
qnbject. The Commission asked
questions and the result of the whole
was to create q better understand
ing between the Commission and
the Levee Boards.
Senator Ransdell did invaluable
work for us, in comforting with the
individual members of the Commits
sion before the meeting and in an
address to the Commission in ses-
sion, stating the conditions existing
in our State, our experience with

To the Voters of Tensas Parish:

To the Voters of Tensas Parish:
At the solicitation of a number of vot-
ers, have announced myself candidate
for membership in the proposed Consti-
tutional Convention. I was also asked
to state some of my views in regard to
this convention and take this means OF
doing 80. AZ the decision to become a
candidate was made too late to get this
card in last weeks issue I had to save it
over for this week.
am opposed to mourning the expense
Of holding this convention If there is a
better or more practical way OF solving
the present financial situation. However,
it seems to me that it is not 20 much
matter of choice a. OF necessity.
We certainly cannot afford to stand
"oat' and do nothing to prevent fnsn-
cisl collapse. Nor can we afford to allow
our State to be diegraced by failing to
provide for the maintenance OF our edu-
cational and charitable institutions, pub
lie schools, etc.
If the people will gee to it, that only
those be sent as delegates who are direct
ly and vitality interested in their States
welfare, are independent of political die
tation and are capable of handling the
matter in broad business and states
manlike way, 1 believe a way can be
found out of the present difficulties with
out placing additional burdens on the al
ready over-burdened average taxpayer.
II this cannot be done, l will be op-
posed to holding the convention.
l believe we need a new and better
constitution to meet present conditions
and to get rid OF the numerous and
lengthy amendments with which our
present one is patched; amendments
which, at great expense to the State, are
submitted to the electors for their ap-
prevail, but, as matter-of-fact, not ap-
proved or disapproved by them, for the
reason that very small per cent ever
take the time or trouble to read, much
less to understand them.
1 AMI in favor OF administering the
States affairs on an efficient business
basis, abolishing all unnecessary Offices,
consolidating Offices and boards when it
is practicable and stopping the leaks.
am opposed to any change of the
present system of distribution of the
school funds Of the State, as l think the
present system is fair and just.
am opposed to combinations, trusts
or conspiracies in restraint of trade and
favor strict laws to protect our legitimate
industries and business interests from
| -'!atory trusts.
am opposed to changing the terms
any Office to which the officials have
aen elected hy the people.
Ii | am elected as one Of your dele
.ates l shall consider it an honor to
serve you, and shall endsavor to do 30
aonscientiously and to the extent Of my
ability.
Respectfully,
FL. GUTHRIE.
