DEMOCRATS HEAR
KEYNOTE SPEECH
HOMER CUMMINGS, TEMPORARY
CHAIRMAN, CHAMPIONS THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

San Francisco. - The League of
Nations covenant was champioEed as
the Monroe Doctrine of the world"
by Homer Cummings, temporary
chairman of the Democratic national
convention, in his keynote address.
OF the peace treaty's defeat in the
Senate, he said: mo blacker crime
against civilization has ever soiled the
pages of our history"
He characterized the Republican
platform as "reactionary and provin-
cial.' Filled with premeditated SLAM
ders and vague promises, it will be
searched in vain for one constructive
suggestion for the reformation of the
conditions which it criticizes and de-
plores,' he continued
THE oppressed peoples of the earth
will look to it in vain. 1t contains no
message of hope for Ireland; no word
or mercy for Armenia and it con-
ceals sword for Mexico. 1t is the
work of men concerned more with
material things than with human
rights. It contains no thought, no pur-
pcGe which can give impulse or
thrill to those who love liberty and
hope to make the world a safer and
happier place for the average man."
He declared that the peace time
record of the Democratic party from
March, 1913, to the outbreak of the
world war has to its credit more eff
fective, constructive and remedial leg
islation than the Republican party
had placed upon the statute books in
a generation"
Praising the administrations
course in the war he said: I'VE
fought great war, for great cause
and we had leadership that carried
America to greater heights of honor
and power and glory than she has
ever known before in her entire his
tory"
Referring to the congressional IN
vestigations by smelling commit
tees" he said that over so investiga-
lions have been made, over two mill
lion dollars wasted and "the result
has been to prove hiatt it was the
cleanest war ever fought IN the his
tory of civilization"

ALL SOUTHERN STATES ARE CIV
EN- A LOW POSITION IN
THE LIST.
NC CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT
Anyone Familiar With Conditions in
Southern States Knows That
Poor Showing Is Almost On,
aVoidabIe.

Baton Rouge. Superintendent t.
H. Harris of the state department or
education answers the Russell Sage
Foundation on the poor showings
made by the Southern States III
schools.
For the last few weeks the news
papers throughout the country have
published and commented upon a re-
port by the Russell Sage Foundation
giving the results of certain investiga-
lions and tabulations by DIR. Leonard
Ayres. The report attempts to set
out index numbers showing the rela-
tive merits of the various state sys-
TENS Of public schools. All OF the
Southern States are given low posi-
lions. Louisiana is near the top OF
the list of the Southern States, but
still it makes a poor showing; and
have learned that many of our good
Louisiana people are somewhat olS-
turbed and distressed over the situa-
ton.
l think there is nc cause to grow
excited over this report. Three OF the
Important factors used in arriving at
the relative educational standing OF
the different states are: ID The en-
rollment in the public schools as COM
pared with the number of educanle
children; ca the length of the school,
session; (3) the annual salaries palo
teachers.
ANY one familiar with the conGi-
tons in the Southsn States knows
that we are bound to make poor
showing in any school statistics bas'
ed largely upon those three factors,
for it should be remembered ths1 the
negroes receive the same considera-
ton at the hands of DR.. Ayres as the
white people. We make no secret OF
the fact that $4,000 of our negro chill
dren are not enrolled in the schools;
that the negro school term is only a
traction above four months. and that
the annual salaries paid negro teach
ers is approximately $500. There
facts necessarily play havoc with any
statistics having to do with the edu-
cationaI standing of Louisiana, and
what is true Of Louisiana is true O.!

OF the spider. The webs are first
sprayed with thin solution of artists

geometric form, they are pressed care
fully against a glass plate, the sup

deals with the structure of the earth,
and ser Sidney told how all noun

fuce hoilows dipping below sea level
are compensated by excuses of mat
ter underlying them In the crust.
