Tie Grape on the door,
Your darling is no more.
His sweet little spirit has flown
To that brighter world above,
Where all is love.
Then why should you so sadly mourn?
We closed the little blue eyes and
folded the dimpled hands so pale and
cold across the lifeless form; we dressed
him in dainty robe and laid the little
darling down to rest. Sweet rest, never
to be broken more. No graphing with
the wearying waves of adversely, no
struggling with the many breakers that
beset life's voyage. All is calm.
!. And while we know the little one just
taken was the light and life of home, we
realize that he was rare jewel of far
more than ordinary worth.
But that dream of his future has van
ished, and we now realize him far above
what life could have ever given him
here-an angel in heaven.
We know it gives the mother pain te
see the baby's cradle empty. She looks
and sometimes thinks she sees hel
darling there.
IT'S all dream. He has gone to rest.
Then humbly say, Il: is hest, it is best"

would create a State Board OF Affairs
of three members appointed by the Gov
ernor. This board will assess and equal
ize for state purposes all taxable prop
erty in the state. This is the most i'm
portant amendment. Study it and vote
for it if you can conscientioasly do so.
1t does away with two other boards and
it seems to be the shortest cut to the
rectification of our finances.
Amendment No. 13 (Act No. 2O3) is
to give New Orleans authority to build
levees along Lake Pontchartrain, the
canals and bayous. Vote for it.
Amendment No. IA (Act No. 24S) will
require all corporations doing business
in Louisiana to maintain offices in the
state, with a responsible resident repre-
sentative in charge of each corporations
office. A good amendment.
Amendment No. Is (Act No. 216) pro-
vides for the levy of a special tax in aid
of local fairs. 1t is limited to ten years
and must not exceed ten mills. Vote
for it.
Amendment No. is (Act 252) would
give the Judges of the Civil District
Court of Orleans Parish joint custody OF
the judicial expense fund OF that parish
and increase their salaries. The Banner
is impressed that this amendment is not
what it seems at surface glance. Be
sure to vote against it.
Amendment No II (Act No. 253)
exempts from state, parish and municipal
taxation all vessels engaged in overseas
commerce. This concerns US all in the
matter of foreign commerce and the
facility of marketing products. Vote
for it.
Amendment No. IS (Act No. 271 }
authorizes the granting of free trans
portation by railways to employees OF
departments of state institutions created
for the dissemination of knowledge
relating to scientific agriculture. 1t
sounds all right.
In looking over the Banners state
exchanges we note that the Colfaz
Chronicle, published down in Grant

volume. AS it CHANGED, few moments
later we noted that the Guardian-Jo Journal
