COMMUNICATION.
Baton Rouge, La, May 10th. i9ls

Baton Rouge, La May 10Th, i9l5.
To the Editor of the Clarion:
There is in the House of Representatives
very strong opposition to the Convention al
that you may read in the City papers to the con
trary Notwithstanding.
This opposition is growing stronger daily
It is true it lacks leadership, but some Que i,
going to be found who will assume leadership
in the near future. And all of this unani1nit,
that the papers furnish its readers among those
who favor the Convention is upon the surface
only.
All of these people, or at least several of the
leaders for the convention have axes TO grind
They are all of them suspicious of each other,
The Governor desires to appoint delegates
at large. To this Senator Smith objects. He
naturally apprehends that with the Governor
and ward bosses in control of the convention.
poFtiuoI DdffetS chances would
grow beautifully less. / could furnish other
instances, but this ought suffice.
We hope, at the proper time. to make the
City papers admit there is opposition to the
Convention, and to let the people know the mag
nitude thereof.
We expect to explode a sensation at the
proper time, that will cause the Civ nanars IL
take notice of us and our righteous opposi1ion

AS THE NORTH SEES IT

predictions as to the result of the panic
into which the south was thrown last August by
the war the cotton states has learned not tc
put all their eggs in one basket, appear to have
been premature is the opinion of the PittsbuIe
Dispatch. when the buy-a-bale-of cotton
crusade was LAUNCHED there were reports from
many sections of declarations that hereafter the
south would go in for diversified crops, and
elaborate arguments were offered to show how
much more good the south could do for itself
and the country if it took to other branches OF
agriculture and contributed more largely to in
~creasing our food products.
THE arguments were sound and the inten-
ton to diversity. crops was sincere, but, al
though there was on May 1 from 10 to rs per
cent less land in cotton acreage than at that
date last year, there are signs that this shortage
will be almost wiped out by late planting. The
prospective demand for cotton has been toe
strong to resist and the very fact that there
was less acreage on May 1 encouraged the plant
ers to grow more. Thus the south's adoption OF
more diversified crops has been put over for the
present. The buy-a-bale movement is now
looked upon with humiliation. The swift up
turn from the depths of depression to the
height of prosperity has made the fears OF last
fall seem like the council of cowardice. The
Investigation of crops in the south has been in
definitely postponed, at least until word con-
ditions return to normal
The Dispatch is mistaken when it say; that
the Investigation of crops in the south has
been postponed. 1t has only fairly begun, per-
haps, but it has begun, at least in Texas. There
are hundreds of boys and girls in Texas who are
engaged in canning and in raising the vegetables
and fruits to can. There are hundred Of farm
ers who are raising hogs and cattle, who never
raised them before. There are thousands OF
in Texas where there were no garoens
before Texas woke up to the necessity OF feed
ing itself.
Crop Investigation has not been postponed
in Texas. 1t has taken a big start, and has taken
a big start in Louisiana. It has not sprung into |
full being with a bound, gut it is ON its way

Don't Endanger II With Calomel

It is generally agreed by experts
in this country and Europe that
calomel has a very violent effect on
the system. This accounts for the
familiar disagreeable feeling &C
companying a dose, and the weak
ened condition following it.
Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vege-
table compound, that is a mild, but
effective substitute for calomel. It
has all the effectiveness, but not
the effect, of calomel. It's splendid
value has brought it into such wide
use that in some states it has al
most entirely replaced calomel.
Just try Liv-Ver-Lax once, and
you'll never use ealomel again.

WHY NOT SWEEP STREETS AT NICHTg

The street commissioner has probably never
thought Of the fact that every time the wood
block streets are swept in the morning he is
causing considerable annoyance to the mer-
chants. While the merchants are adverse to
kicking, they would suggest that the streets be
swept late in the evenings, after the stores have
closed, SO that the dust coming from the streets
wifi not settle in the stores.
instead nf sprinkling the streets in tn.
mornings and sprinkIing them at night. if tha
reverse was tried it is thought that better re-
in the day time and swept at night.

HIGH RATE OF INSURANCE

When the city erected the modern fire
alarm system, of which the people of Opelousas
boast, so much, and extended water mains in
various portions of the corporation, it was said
that steps had been taken to reduce the insur-
anle rates in this city.
While we admire the progressivere5s of the
city fathers and commend them for their at
tempts at having the rates reduced. it might be,
if the business people of Opelousas would CO.
operate with the city administration in having
this city placed in the category of cities. which
enjoy reduced fire insurance rates, several
thousand dollars could be saved annually, not
only to the property owners but also to the fire
insurance companies.
Of course the insurance companies do not
lose money in this city, because they charge
almost prohibitive rates, but it would be to
their advantage to cooperate with the people
of Opelousas in an endeavor to prevent fires.
The city council should ascertain exactly
what is needed in order that insurance rates
here might be reduced, after which the business
people should interest themselves in seeing that
the fight for reduction is successful.

THE CALIBRE OF THE MAN

In his usual calm and deliberate manner the
President of the United States called the Ger.
mars at en- ioi t. a: America would be willing to
forgive the luton government for its several
offenses since the beginning of the war, provided
that the Imperial German Government would
make full reparation and give assurance that
neutrais on high seas would no longer be en-
dangered. Mr.. Wilson, however, warned the
Kaiser that unless he consented to his terms,
ne would leave nothing undone to preserve
American honor and respect.
Day by day Mr.. Wilson is endearing him.
self to the American people, who realize that he
is not of the Roosevelt type-an actor to the
galleries not a lover of modern murder, but
q deep thinker, who always stands for the best
interest of his nation.
Since assuming the important duties of head
of the United States Government Mr.. Wilson
has been confronted with many delicate and Sc
rious questions, but each time has come out of
a perplexed situation with honor to himself and
credit to his nation.
Like Mr.. Taft-in direct contrast to Col
Roosevelt, President Wilson is a firm believer
Of peace; he does not feel too proud to fight, "

THE C SESSION
1ENS

From present indications it appears ina
the specil session of the Louisiana legislature
which convened at Baton Rouge on Monday
eyenc. will be one of the most harmonious and
memorable in the political history of louisiana
& and one which promises to accomplish many
| things of vital interest TO the state.
The first subject to be taken up by the leg
islators is appropriations for the state lnstltu-
tons; it is not thought that there will be any
opposition to the state awarding sufficient funds
for the operation of its schools and asylums,
The peopls of Louisiana, however, seem
more interested in the proposition of holding a
constitutional convention that any other matter
that may come up before the legislators. While
there is considerable opposition 10 the consti-
tutional convention plan, it is presumed that
the measure will carry and that an unlimited
constitutional convention will be held.
Those in favor of the convention argue that
the organic laws of the state need complete re-
vision; il that be the case there should be no
limit whatever to theconvention, with the posi-
Bile exception perhaps that the people of Lou
isiana should pass upon the work OF its consti-
tutional convention delegates.
Governor Hall, in his special measure to
the Lower House, as well as TO the Senate, calls
the attention of the Legislators that the laws
dealing with monopolies should be enacted SO
that the planters of this state may be protected
from invasion by the trusts. While many prom
that Governor Hall desires to be rather severe
on the trusts, especially on the American Sugar
Refinery of New Orleans, it is reasonably ex-
pected that laws regulating these monopolies
will be passed.
The plan Of all parties in Louisiana holding
their primaries on the same day, so as to pre-
vent the participation Of one party in another's
seems to be the most popular idea of
eliminating the Bull Moosers from the Demo-
cratic ranks in this state. This would. howveer.
give the Republicans, who failed to get recog-
alton in the last general state election, the pow
er to participate in election in Louisiana again,
rs the plan states that any political party in
louisiana, with national following is entitled
o recognition in this state.

IN THE ORIENT.

L Saxon, Roman and Norman conquered Britain, each
through its colonization leaving something of its cViza
on and Britain in the end better for each of these
conquestS.
It seems not improbable that in the same way Japan
IS to carry its civzng influence through China and other
Oriental countries It has been through such processes
that civilization has developed and msjudge the Jap
character if that people is not adapted to do for
the Orient what Saxon, Roman and Norman did for
Britain
It has been the fortune of China through large por-
zion of it's remarkably long national life to be under sub
lection to some foreign race, but the races which
have IN succession ruled China have not been of CONNER
