TOWNS CLASH OVER
HAMMOND HIGHWAY
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN ClTi-
zENs OF CONVICTION AND
MADISONVILLE DISTRICTS.
MAY BE A GOVERNMENT ROAD
Would Provide Good Road For Town
OF Goodbee Which II Has Never
HAd-say Other Sections Of Par
ish Are Just as Deserving.
The question OF

Nav Orleans. The question Of
building road in 81 Tammany par
ish between COyingtOn and Hammond
has aroused warm controNers! De
tween citizens OF COyington and Mao
tsonytlle. as Is evidenced IN an artl-
Gle which appeared in the St ram
many Farmer under date OF August
IA. and a reply from Madison'Ille ot
the same date. The question VIII ne
taken up soon at a meeting OF lhe
Ct Tammany police jury at CoVin1
ton
The Covington arguments may De
summarized as set forth in the Farm
er as follows. The proposition VIII
provide a good road for the town OF
Goodbee, which il has never had, al
though taxes have been voted three
fines for this road collections nave
now for the first time reached sum
great enough for the undertaking.
the new roa dwill cut in half seV
enteen mile stretch on the TcheiuEc-
ia river which is not bridged, thus
providing a direct route In place OF
round about one for travellers.
Other arguments set forth are that
the road has already been surveyed
between Covington and Goodbee, ana
that the state has offered half the
sum for building the road and has al
ready advertised for bids on the
work. that Tangipahoa parish has
agreed TO build and maintain and has
ALREADY gone far with preparations
for the part of the road which runs
into the neighboring parish; that the
road would open up new valuable
farm and Embarrassing land and the
route OF the road is laid on the high
est ground In the section.
Finally Covington supporters OF the
road say. the promise OF the Mlssls-
sippi Valley Highway Association has
been obtained to bring their 1000
mile drive over this route when the
road is built and the Federal govern
ment will probably make that nigh
way a military road refunding some
of the building expense, and doubling
che width of the road.
Aroused by the plan as set forth
above by Covington supporters OF the
new road movement, jacksonville op-
ponents to the proposal present the
following arguments:
First, they agree that the GoodDee
section has never had good road
but say that there are other sections
OF the parish are as deserving.
They admit that three attempts te
raise taxes failed, but want to know
why other sections of the parish
should be asked to help one ward te
raise the money.

Of the National Woman Suffrage as
addressed congressional Committees
on woman suffrage She was the joint

or More" (1895) Is her autobiography.
A third name Is that of Susan b.
Anthony (1S20-l9O6). She Joined with
Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton in organizing the woman suf-
frage movement. She became in time
the real leader Of the movement; GER
tainly she was its first militant suf-
fragiSt. Born In Adams. Mass, she
came of Quaker stock. and early dPyOt-
ed herself to Temperance" (the pro-
hbition of those days. and TO the abO-
lition of slavery.
In 1873 Miss Anthony drafted the
amendment to the Constitution which
has now been ratified In 1873 the
amendment was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Sargent of California.
1t was defeated in 1887 and thereaf-
ter was not even debated in congress
until 1914.
During the years the Constitutional
amendment campaign was making no
progress the women won many victO-
ries in the states, securing full Suf-
frage in 10; presidential suffrage in
II and partial suffrage in several 9th
erS.
The National American Woman
Suffrage association in 1912 opened
| headquarters In Washington and be-
| gan an active campaign for the
passage of the amendment. In 1916
| il established branch headquarters
| there which were devoted entirely to
| the amendment campaign. The cam
paign was educational and social as
well as political and attracted world
wide attention.
The National Woman's party, or
ganized in 1910 by Alice Paul, estab-
| he'd Washington headquarters In
! 1913 and introduced the militant into
| the campaign.
Alice Paul-the third Quakeress to
! immOrtalize herSelf-is the Spectacu-
lar figure of the struggle. She devel-
Oped the deadliest card index on mem
bers of congress that practical politics
has ever seen. She served notice
I through the White House picketS that
the president was the IMAM higher up"
The arrest of nearly 500 of these pick
cts and the imposition of Jail SEN
fences followed. incidentally Miss
Paul herself served seven terms in
Jail.
The amendment was beaten three
times in the senate and once in the
! house before it was finally passed by
| the Sixty-siXth congress June t. 1919,
| by the necessary twO-thirdS majority.
The year 1869 saw the formation of

THOUGHT.

Men fear thought as they fear moth
ing Slse on earth-mOre than ruin,
more even than death. Thought is
subversive and revolutionary, destruc-
tive and terrible; thought is merciless
to privilege, established institutions
and comfortable habits; thought Is an
archie and Iawless, Indifferent to au-
thOrity, careless of the well-tried wis
dom of the ages. Thought looks into
the pit of hell and is not afraid.-Ber-
trand Russell.

UNIVERSITY

University, January 2.-(Special)- l)-With the arrival of Prof J. M Wander Nes- thuyzen the new School of Commerce and Business Administration at the UniVer- sity of Alabama was begun at the open ing of the second term Wednesday. This school, which will be conducted on an equal footing with the existing schools of law, engineering and education, is in charge of Dean Lee Bidgood and is de- signed to fit young men for positions of responsibility in industry, commerce and finance.
 Prof. Wander Westhuyzen received his degree at London University, England, in 1912. For a period of three years ne was professor of accounting at the Grey
 University, Bloemfontein, South Africa, at the same time featuring at the Poly
 technic Institute. Bloemfontein. Prof.
 Wander Westhuyzen is a lso fellow of the Institute of Commerce, England, and has also taken courses with the LaSalle Extension University in higher account ancy and business organization.
 Recently Prof Wander Vesthuyzen has put in a new system of accounting Tn q large commission house in New York Clty Among the subjects which he will otTer at the university are accounting, sta tistics, salesmanship and business ad- ministration Mir Bidgood, who is dean of the school, has been for several years professor of economies at the university The full course of study requires four years for completion. It leads to the degree of bachelor of science in commerce l and business administration. The esta D.
 lishment of the commercial schools meets
 a distinct want in Alabama and the south,
