The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-10-27

True, the people are asked to give
him this power, but I can not believe
they viii do so. The audacity Of the
thing should insure its overwhelming
defeat.
My idea of this call for a constitu-
tionaI convention is, that, in substance,
it is merely a proposition submitted
by the legislature to the people for
their acceptance or rejection in its
entirety, and by which the people are
to delegate, to a convention, authority
to frame constitution and to fix the
method by which it is to be put into
operation.
That method is specifically stated
TO be that the constitution when
framed is not to be submitted to them
for approval or disapproval; or, in
other words, the people are to dele
gate to the convention full authority
to frame and put into effect a consti-
tuition without consulting the people,
and not otherwise.
If it had been the intention of the
legislature to authorize another meth
cd of adoption, namely, submission to
subsequent vote of the people, it
would most certainly have said so, and
having failed to do so, it seems to me,
under the familiar rule OF iuterpreta-
/ tion, "expressio unius est exelusio
alterios," the convention would be
confined to the method specified.
This view is fortified by the action
Of the legislature in expressly refus-
ing to authorize the adoption OF any
ether mode Of putting the constitution
into operation than the one specified,
to-wit, non-submission. This Is made
manifest by its vote to strike out the
amendment previously adopted requir-
ing submission of the constitution to
vote Of the people.
In my view, therefore, no member oe
| 6uCA convention AesS any AAOA al AASAl
to vote for any method OF adoption
other than the one specified. He viii
no doubt have the physical power to
do so, and may be able to reconcile In
his own mind such action with the
oath he win be required to take, but
could not.
l may add, that do not think we
would ever have heard of this strained
construction Of the call, had not the
governor and his friends found out
how unpopular among the people the
proposition was to deny them partici-
patton in framing the organic law Of
the state, which is a matter Of vital
interest to every man, woman and
child within its bounds.
Respectfully,

TO the Editor of the Star-Progress:
/ see in a report Of the speech OF
coveruor Parker, delivered in Lafa.
vatte on Saturday the 18th instant,
given by one of his worshippers, the
Times-Picayune. the governor is re,
ported as follows:
"He (the governor) said it
would be perfectly possible I'M
der the terms Of the proposition
for the convention itself to de-
eide whether the constitution
should be submitted to the peo-
nile for ratification or not. He
said he had fulfilled every pledge
he had made in his campaign for
governor"

meut will surprise every one who is
familiar with the action of Governor
Parker in relation to that provision OF
the cali which provides that the con-
stitution is not to be submitted to the
people, the most important pledge he
made.
He certainly ought not to forget that
che question of the submission Of the
constitution to the people was thor.
oughIy discussed pro and con By the
members of the legislature and him
self He certainly should not forget
that the house amended the bill, pro
yiding for submission Of the consti-
tuition to the vote Of the people, and
that this amendment was sent to the
senate, which body refused to concur
in the amendment of the house, and
that the bill was sent back to the house
which was notified Of the senate's re-
fusal to concur in the amendment.
He should also not forget that there
upon large numbers Of the members Of
the house was called in consultation
TO meet him in his office, at which
time the whole matter was threshed
out between him and the members, and
that at the end Of this consultation he
stood pat on the provision Of non-sub-

ment this section 70 the country is
making in raising fine hogs. The
Judging win be done by J. J. McLain
of Anna, Texas.
Competition in this department Ia
open to the world, and many herds
from other states as well as many
from Louisiana are expected to be
represented in the exhibits. Ground
for this expectation is given by the
reports and inquiries reaching the
Fair Association. The premiums are
the most abundant ever offered at the
State Fair, and this Is proving espe-
cially interesting to the prospective
exhibitors.
In addition to competing for tempt
ing premiums, exhibitors viii have the
privilege Of offering some Of their
stock for sale and receiving good
prices therefor. Each Fair attracts
livestock breeders who are anxious to
improve their herds and to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered
both at private and auction sales. In
other words, buyer and purchaser are
brought together, and, as 6 result, the
herds of this part of the country are
improved and those making the sales
are rewarded by the financial returns
they receive.
That Louisiana Is well adapted for
the raising Of fine hogs has been thor
oughly demonstrated. Many have gone
into the business during the past few
years, due especially to lessons OBJ

tantamount to an Interpretation by the
legislature of its intent not to have
the constitution submitted to the peo-
pie at all Hence, do not see how the
governor can consistently say that the
convention win have authority Of its
own motion to order the submission Of
the constitution to the people in the
face Of such legislation, wherein it
was the manifest intention of the leg
islature to deny to the convention any
such right, and that in the full knowl-
edge of the governor.
AS to the second question above,
am equally at a loss to see how the
governor can consistently say that he
had fulfilled every pledge he made. in
his campaign for governor.
During the campaign, as is we'll
known to every one, he and Colonel
Stubs both publicly pledged them
selves to use their influence to call an
unlimited constitutional convention.
Such pledge Governor Parker has man
ifestly not fulfilled in the call for a
constitutional convention, for the rea-
SON that it is filled with numerous linn
itations in violation Of his pledge.
/ find that in the various communi-
cations in the press on this subject no
one has called the governors attention
to this violation Of his campaign
pledge. 1 think I have seen a state
ment from him since the election that
he had changed his mind, and if so. I
venture to say that If he had told the
people what kind of convention he
would call, be probbaly would not have
been elected.
To me, independently Of the ques-
question Of submission, the GROWING
outrage Of this call is giving to the
governor the power to appoint twelve
members Of that convention. It is
pure, unaduIterated autocracy, and as
far removed from democracy as day is
from night. Whence comes the idea
that a governor, whoever he may be,
is more fitted to select representatives
Of the people than they are them
selves? 1t is idle to say that these ali
pointees of Governor Parker win be
other than his political friends and
win go into the convention, If appoint
ed, obsessed with the idea of pleasing
their creator, rather than the people,
who have had no voice in their selec-
ton.
/ don't think that such a thing was
ever done before in any part Of the
United States, at least not so far as
my observation goes. It is unprece-
denied, undemocratic and subVersive
of the rights of the people, and hope
win be repudiated by them as the
polls on the second day Of November.
II the governor is better qualified to
appoint twelve delegates to the con-
vention than the people why not give
him power to appoint every member
If the convention and be done with it,
without consulting the people at all?

StocI<y Frenchman Did Not Amount
to Much While With Red Sox-
Studied Hard Hitters of League
in Spare Moments.

The Boston Red Sox, taking stock
in 1912, decided that Pitcher Eddie
Cicotte was of no further use to them.
Eddie, therefore, was put on the mar
ket. Nobody got hurt in a scramble
for his services, and finally the Chicago
Americans took him at the waiver
price. Nobody shouted "Cheap at half
the priceT' They figured the Sox grab
bed hurler for batting practice.
They figured thusly because Cicotte
had been sort of an in-and-outer in
his five years with the Boston team,
and it wasn't likely that he would ever
improve much. The climate of the
Windy City, or the sting of being cast
aside, must have had an influence on
the stocky Frenchman.
He went along smoothly enough af
ter landing at Chicago. But wise Ed
die was doing more than time with
the SOx. He studied the batters in
his spare moments, invented new stuff,
perfected his control and bettered
himself In every respect.
Then he blossomed out. Starting in
1916, he began to burn up the league.

LEADER OF WHITE s0x TEAM
Winning Championship of Amer
lean League.

A year ago William (Kid) Gleason
was made manager of the Chicago
American league team, succeeding
Clarence Rowland. He made good by
winning the championship Of his
league. But he failed to land the
worlds championship. Gleason is an
old figure on the diamond. Over thirty
years ago he entered the big league
with hardly one years experience in
the minors. He began as pitcher fer
the Philadelphia team in 1888, and
