CRIMINAL PARENTS

In the list of unprecedented tradpedie,
that have been detailed in the papers dur.
ing the last month there has appeared
accounts OF several accidental deaths due TO
the careless use of dangerous firearms bv
children of immature age-cases in which
boys aged from six to nine years have been
allowed to handle pistols. This criminal
recklessness has resulted in several deaths
generally playmates of the youngster with
the gun. Of course, when a killing of this
sort occurs everybody is Mortified ard
great sympathy is felt for both the family
OF the killed and the killer. This svmpathy

THE FLOOD CONTROL Bill

First place for the flood control
oil! on the legislative program is de-
manded by no less than seven Democrat
lc senators. 1t is probable that their
demand will receive the support of sew
eral other members of the upper house,
tomorrow night the Democrats in the
senate Will caucus to decide upon the
Dllls which are to be given precedence.
A strong effort is being made to place
the corrupt practices bill at the head of
the program.
Since the Republicans are de-
termned to spare no effort to prevent
the enactment of the corrupt practices
bill at this time, bitter fight is in pros
pect. There IS no predicting how long
Il will last. Consequently it is believed
the only safe place for the flood control
Dill Is ahead Of that measure, If pushed
late into the session, the flood control
Dill would be open to serious menace
from Senator Newlands, who doubtless
would filibuSter against it if there were
any chance that such procedure would
be successful. BY taking up the flood
bill within the next few days, the danger
from such an attack would be meas
urably less.
"Unless the caucus will give first
place on the flood control bill, Senator
Vardaman declares that he will walk
out and refuse to be bound by any action
that is taken. Senators Ransdell, Brous-
sard and Williams have announced that
they will not abide by the caucus unless
the flood control bill is given preferred
place on the program.
The foregoing telegram from Paul Woo
n, special correspondent at Washington, of
Times-Picayune, gives the latest devel-
ment in the flood control bill. From the
st information heretofore given out it
ems that the gravest danger to this i'm
rtant measure is that of delay in getting
'ote at this session. The next few days
ould settle the question as to whether its
oporters can get it scheduled for early con-
Grafton. If it is placed in the list pro-
'ed to the caucus it is probable that it will
finally passed.

PREPARE FOR REFORM


Orleans is being watched with interest II
the country not that the country is con-
cerned with the internal affairs Of New Or
leans, but for the bearing that the conditions
there have on the general political affairs Of
the state
The power exercised in the recent
elections by the united city leaders made
1T clear to the country that the city political
organization, when under complete control
OF the leaders, can be used to control the
entire politics of the state. The power that
they hold would not concern the other sec.
tons of the state except for the fact that
the solid vote of the city in a primary for
nomination of state officers means the defeat
OF all opposition; or in matters of LEGISLATION
the city vote in the legislature can put over
any measure.
For many years the leaders of New
Orleans have selected members of the gen.
eral assembly not so much on account Of
their qualifications as legislators as upon
their loyalty to ward leaders
These men 60 to Baton Rouge pledged
TO use their united influence to secure for
their principals political patronage.
1t matters not whether the governor
holds them up or whether they hold the
governor up, the result is the same: the
country gets legislation based on political
trades without regard to the merits of the
legislation.
New Orleans is seldom affected by leg-
lsfatlon applicable to the country, hence her
representatives are Indifferent to the manvI
lll-advlsed measures that are passed.
The country therefore relishes split in
New Orleans that will to any degree reduce +
the trading power Of the city politicians. +
The present country legislator goes to o
Baton Rouge imbued with one idea0to pet h
IN the deal between the governor and the 9,
city leaders. He thus sacrifices the mate ~
rial interests of his constituents in order to q
iand one or two insignificant jobs for fawn- 81
ing followers at home. 9,
The net result is that our legislation re- 6;
fleets the wishes and ambition of the gov NJ n,
ernor and the city leaders, while our sena- h,
tors and representatives are mere figure
heads who fight over measures handed to
them and which measures often they do not Ill
take the trouble to read. vi
The country has the remedy for such
evils in the election hereafter of legislators !,
of ability and determination. II
The people who want real improvement cl u
N the State must be educated out of the Cd
habit OF electing incapable, irresponsible "! w
io-nothingS to the legislature I'll
If the country will elect good men next
line, there will be an end to our trouble bo

OPPOSITION TO DRAFT PLAN
Majority OF House Committee Would
Make Provision for Volunteers In
New Army--AdministratiOn Is
Firm For Staff Bill.

Washington, April 16-Tentative
vote in the House Military Commit
tee today disclosed majority in favor
of making some provision for volun-
teers in the war army plans, which
as drawn by the general staff and ap-
proved by President Wilson, are based
entirely upon the selective draft sys-
TEN. Two members of the committee
were absent, and the question Of pre-
pairing a substitute for the administra-
ton bill will be passed on finally to-
morrow.
Various methods of raising and Or
ganizing the great fighting force for
which the President asks have been
advanced by members opposing i'm
mediate application of the draft,
ranging from a proposal to eliminate
the draft provision entirely to Chair
men Dents scheme to authorize a
call for 100000 volunteers and au-
thorize the President to resort to the
draft if the volunteers do not toille
forward in reasonable time.
The administration is standing
squarely upon the general staff's
unanimous opinion that the volunteer
system can have no place beyond the
enlistment in the regulars or national
guards in the raising and training Of
the army needed. Apparently conf
{ 6ence still prevails that eventually
both Houses will accept the staff bill.
The Senate Military Committee sent
today merely an explanation of the
staff measure from Secretary Baker
and Adjutant General Crowder, Chair
man Chamberlain said tonight he
hoped to conclude work in committee
on the bill tomorrow, and despite OPP
position shown to the draft feature,
ne was hopeful 1t would be approved
and reported 90 the Senate in time to
follow on the floor the 100000, 900
revenue bill which probably will be
passed tomorrow night.
There were no votes taken in the
Senate Committee during the day, but
some members thought the official ex-
PLANTATION given and the arguments
advanced in support of the draft pro-
vision had made a deep impression
upon those anxious to have the val
unteer system tried again. Several
Senators, however, showed unmis-
takenably that they were vigorously
opposed to CONSUMPTION, although they
favored the principle of universal SER
vice.
Senators from all sections are re-
ceiving many kilograms and letters on !
the subject and most Of them are said |
to be against CONSUMPTION. The Sen
ate leaders say that when the bill !
reaches the floor it will be passed al
though the majority in its favor may
not be large.
