THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
VENTION.

The special session of the Gen
eral Assembly which has just con-
Guided It's work has ordered an
election for a Constitutional Con-
! vention to be held during the
mohtn OF August, and alread.
many names have been suggested
to represent Iberia Parish which
is entitled under the law to two
representatives. The friends of
District Attorney Muller, so We
understand, are endeavoring to
have him submit his name TO rep
resent Us as one Of the candidates
to that important Convention.
Among other gentlemen we hear
suggested is that Of Hon. Edward
Broussard, L. 7. Dulany, Senator
Walter j. Burke, Judge l.. Q.
Hacker, E. 7. Weeks, p. R. Burke
and others. No doubt either Of
these prominent attorneys would
do justice to Iberia if the Conven-
ton is favorably voted upon.
From what we can learn it is the
cOncensus Of opinion that the
main reason for holding a Con-
stitutional Convention is to
change the system of taxation so
as to raise more revenue for the
manipulation Of the offices of the !
State and incidentally to pay off
some Of the obligations of our
commonwealth. The holding of

rue that the result of their work
Will again be submitted to the
electorate for their approval or
election before it can become

or the Convention, because we

Ices not meet the views of the
common people. It is also openly
charged that an effort will be
made to extend the term of the
present office holders at Baton
Rouge to January l, 1917, and
lold the general election in Nov
'mber, 1916. and as to this scheme 4
f they should succeed in putting
t over, the people would have no Y
ay, since these politicians would s
o frame the Constitution that its

o the voters. For these and 9th
r reasons we have not as vet de-
ided whether we will support the
Convention. The selection of Par
sh representatives will be voted {
pom the same day as we pass

convention. so it is imperitive that E

GOVERNOR HALLS REASONS
FOR VETOING THE PRI-
MARY LAW.

We have requested from Sena-
tor Burke some explanation as to
the motives of Governor Hall in
vetoing the Primary Bill. We had
judged from the various news
paper comments now and then
attributed to him. as well as from
the fact that he included this
measure in his call for special
session. that he was thoroughly in
accord with the proposed legisla-
ton. We know that Senator
Burke had initiated the move-
sment after conference with a num-
Der Of Democrats, of the Third
Congressional District; and that
the measure which had been
grated met general approval.
We considered it fair to the var
ious party, organizations inasmuch
as it put them all upon the same
basis as the Democratic Party,
while it had the effect Of remov-
ing the disadvantage at which
that party stands when it must be
bound by primary regulations
which are not binding upon its
adversaries. but are, rather. a
means Of subjecting the dominant
r-rty to unjust burdens.
Senator Burke tells us that
while he, was much astonished to
learn through the Press that
Governor Hall intended the
pocket veto Of the bill, he had
made no inquiry. Of the Governor
as to his motives. nor will he un-
dertake to surmise what they are.
He states that Governor Hall had
told him that he was thoroughly
in accord with the Legislation and
would include it in his call for the
special session, and this he did.
A short time before the conven-
ing OF the session. he and Mr..
Butler called upon Governor Hall
and discussed the outlines of the
bill. and in accordance with the
understanding the bill was drawn
by him and Mr.. Butler, assisted
by Mr.. Maumus and other gen.
tlemen whose counsel was taken.
Upon its introduction there
med to be objection to one fea-
Of the bill, which provided
1t all parties should have their
tickets upon one ballot. There
was also objection to it by gen.
tlemen who desired more extreme
represented by the bill ;,
offered by Mr.. Evans.

STADTLER PREDICTS
AMERICAN-MADE DYE
Abundance of Dye Woods and
Plants in Tropical
Sections.

Dye woods and dye plants. found in
great abundance in the tropical and
semi-tropical sections of America. give
hope to the manufacturer OF the prepar-
alton of dyes from native, materials on
this side Of the Atlantic, stated Samuel
E. Stadtler, OF Philadelphia, in an ad-
dress to his associates of the sub-sec-
ton Of applied chemistry. Of the Pam
American Congress at its meeting yes
terday.
America has never developed the syn
thetic dye processes, he declared, and
as a result. the European war has
caused a great scarcity in dyes.
THE use of dyes OF vegetable and
animal origin" said Mr.. Stadtler, "long
antedated the use of the synthetic dyes
and, indeed, down to the midle OF the
last century, when in 1856 PerlIin dis
covered mauveI the first of the aniline
dye-colors, the former were alone avail
able" he stated.
THE vegetable sources of these nat
ural dyes are trees, shrubs. leaves and
roots of plants, all OF which may con-
tain the dye-yielding materials. From
these the dye-stuffs are extracted by
water or aqueous solvents, either with
or without previous fermentation to de-
compose natural combinations like glu-
cosides and Hberate the dye-stuff proper.
plants almost without exception are ma
tives Of tropical and semi-troplcal coun-
tries, and some of the most important
Of them are especially to be found as
natives of the Latin-American coun-
tries"

inent Senators, II the Austrian situation
should become more acute. will call on
the President and urge him not to break
relations with Vienna without putting
the matter before Congress.
The President has the power to say
what shall be the diplomatic relations
with a country. The question whether
he should consult Congress under the
circumstances Is one of policy, not law.
But back Of the proposed severing OF
diplomatic relations with Austria there
stands undoubtedly the specter OF pos
sible war with the central powers II
this step should be taken. That would
be a grave thing for the United States
II II should eventuate that Europe
would agree to peace and this country
be left in a conflict sinRle-handed.
Certain elements in Congress that are
fearful of the far-reaching effects Of sew
ering relations with Vienna would
urge that such relations be not broken,
quite apart from any consideration of
the danger of involving the United
States in a war OF huge proportions.

WANTS EDUCATION TO
UNITE THE AMERICAS
Dr.. Julio C. TeIIO, Of Peru, One
Of Few Delegates Who Is
Pure American.

DR.. Julio c. Tello, OF Lima, Peru. n
Harvard graduate, a DISTINGUISHED
physician and an associate archeologist
of the Peabody Museum Of Cambridge,
Mass. who is one OF the members OF
the Pan-American Scientific Congress
and of the international Congress of
Americanists, IL figure of unusual in
ters to his associates in both con-
crosses for the reason that he - re-
garded as one of the few delegates to
either who Is a pure American.
DR.. Tello can date his ancestry OF
Americans back thousands Of years, for
in his blood runs a strain OF those
Peruvian Indians who are regarded as
having been the first to practice tire
arts of civilization on the Western
Hemisphere. The scientist received his
early education in Lima, where he has
lived since he was ten years old.
After studying medicine in the Uni
versity of Lima he won a scholarship
and chose to attend the courses at
Harvard rather than to 60 to Europe,
as most students of the university had
done before him. He was the first
Peruvian to attend the Harvard courses.
He received the degree of master Of
arts at Harvard and specialized in
archaeology. After spending a year in
Germany, another year in France and
year in England, taking special
courses in the universities, he returned
to Lima, where he took up the practice
of medicine and the prosecution of
archaeological researches. He found
many interesting things connected with
the ancient civilization of his country,
and is anxious to have others among
his own people educated to take up the
same work.
The complete understanding of the
peoples of North, South, and Central
America Is possible only with educa-
ton, he declares. He believes the Pam
American spirit can be cultivated best
by having students from the South
and Central American countries educa-

How acute the issue with Austria will

expressed that Congress would not sane

Significant in this connection is the
fact that Senator Hoke Smith, Of
Georgia, who made q speech before the
recess assailing the English position re-
garding neutral trade and attacking the
validity OF the blockade, is preparing
another speech to be delivered when
Congress rec0nvenes. It will deal with
the subject Of neutral trade quite as
vigorously as the first speech. Senator
Smiths position Is we'll known. He
feels this Government should take a
more vigorous stand against the En-
glish violations Of American trade rights
and be as forceful toward England as
toward nations with whom the United
States is in controversy over subma-
rines.

Miss Tarbell. ''The census of 1910
