MOVEMENT FOR PLAY

We learn that some public spirited
ladies have a movement Oh foot to
make drive in the nedr future for
funds to give to the children of Ope-
lousas playground. AS soon as
enough money is raised they expect
to purchase a suitable lot and equip
it with the usual necessary things for
an up-to-date play ground
The movement is a splendid one
and every public spirited citizens
should assist in every way possible to
make it a success.
Now is the time for some real gen
erous citizen of Opelousas to start the
plan by donating a lot. The children
viii no doubt be grateful and public

AN INSULT TO THE PEOPLE

The amazing spectacle Of governor
Of Louisiana attempting to dictate a
constitution for the people of the state /
and then depdiVing them of the right
to pass upon it, is what is now being
enacted at Baton Rouge, with Cover
nor Parker in the role of dictator.
Accustomed as we are to Governor
Parker's arbitrary methods, we must
confess to feeling of absolute amaze
ment at this bold attempt to deprive
the electorate of Louisiana of its most
sacred rights, and it is with the utmost
satisfaction that we note the indignant
reputation of this unheard of propo-
sition by members of the general as
sembly, even from those whose politi-
cal affiliations are with the governor.
For instance Judge Gilbert L. Dupre
whose sincerity has never been ques-
toned by his bitterest foe, and who
has been a consistent supporter of the
governor, could not suppress his indig-
nation and denounced the proposal in
the following language.
This bill is intended to ignore the
people; it is intended to say, Il am
the state, the people be damned"
sIf the amendment is not adopted,
began Judge Dupre, opening the battle
there will be no convention. l have no
hesitancy in making this statement.
You many charge boldness but care
not for your comment
"Any member of this house, If he is
a man, would not surrende his con
victions to the executive department
of this state. If he does ohe is not
faithful to the host Of his constituents,
and has violated his oath of office.
"This bill is intended to ignore the
people; it is intended to say ! am the
state and the people be damned.
'They want this convention to
have full power. Why should the peo-
pie be over-ridden and this power
vested with professional politicians?
II want to say right here that nc
man. or set of men can come to my
native heath and kick me into sub,
mission. They are not dealing with
jackrabbits. The people of this state
will never allow handful of men to
draft laws for them that will be on
the statute books for generation.
mo lawyer can go into court and
go 7t this bill is in the nature OF
ae. andum. 1t is nothing of the kind
II an lawyer can contradict that
statement then 1 am undone.
There is only one power that can
accomplish that purpose and that is
the legislature And the legislature
in so doing, follows the dictates Of its
own conscience and not the wishes OF
the governor of the state.
ct is said that you can never tell
the nature of person by gazing into
his face. You have got bunch of peo
pie here whom you can't trust out OF
your sight"
It Is refreshing to note that men o.
Judge Dupres' standing and intelli
gence, whose patriotism cannot be
questioned, see through the shallow
pretense of the governors ambition
to rule and dictate to the people re
gardless Of their wishes in the matter
win either vote on their proposed con
Judge Dupre is right-the people
stitution, or there will be no constitu
ti6n to vote upon. And the sooner the
governor realizes this the better

Says Mr.. ABBOTT: "More than twelve
hundred Louisiana boys and girls be-
longing to the agricultural clubs have
attended club rallies and short courses
held at different points in the, state
during the late spring and summer.
Meetings have been held so far at the
following places: Oberlin, Crowley,
Winnsboro, Alexandria, Ruston, Ope-
lousas, Montpelier, Mamou, Hammond
and Kentwood. Others will be held at
Bastrop, Lafayette, De Ridder, Lees
vile, Shreveport and Franklinton."
The programs at the meetings held
varied to some extent, but all were
devoted to instructing the boys and
girls on some phases of their club
work and providing entertainment for
them. Demonstrations in canning,
corn judging, feeding and care of live
stock, basket making, pecan budding,
the care of poultry, ETC., we're held. A
parade of club members usually pre-.
ceded the regular program, which con-
sisted to talks by local school officials,
by members Of the Extension Division,
Louisiana State University, and by
the boys and girls themselves who
would tell of their experiences in club
work. Club songs and yells were also
given by the members Refreshments
music, and moving picture programs
were provided at most places.
The rally held at Alexandria on
May %, at which $50 boys and girls
representing 20 schools of Rapides
parish, were present is the largest
rally to be held so far. The members

ROLFE COMES WITH FISH
 FROM THE YAkUTAT BANKS

It was like coming home for the crew of the halibut steamer Rolfe yesterday, when they pulled into Juneau after an absence from tine port of several years. The Rolfe, up to about two years ago, had been fishing out of this port, for years but finally went to Ketchikan to make headquarters there.
 On this trip the little vessel has been as far out as Yakutat after halibut, but met with some of the worst storms of her career, and was only able to get what is known IS a broken trip of 1000 pounds The Rolfe stopped here rather than 70 go to Ketchikan with such small quantity. The fish were sold to the Juneau Cold Storage Company at II md , cents a pound.

RADICAL LEADERS OF
 LABOR MJURE CAUSE:
 SAYS CORRESPONDENT

To the Editor of The Empire:
 One wonders if the peiple of All aska are fully acquainted with the questions confronted by the labor ing men and brought up in their Union. Nor can one help but notice how easily labor is led.
 Sometime back there was Saw yer; then a Fogarty; now a Rox.
 Those saviors, lords or dictators, to get the good will and backing of the workers know full we'll the only way to get needed reforms is the conservative and sensible way, not by radical agitation.
 But no sooner are such individ- uais given executive authority than they fly off the beaten paths and show their true colors.
 A hint to the wise is as good as book, but not often needed
 Labor always did posper when led by cool and collected leaders. As a rule it suffered and still suf- fers when hot heads had their say.
