Wilson Against Modification
Declaring the foolish invention
that the President had refused to per-
NIT the dotting of an ''i'' or the crossing
of a "t" had been so often repeated
that many honest people believed in Its
truth, Mr.. Cummings said:
'In every speech made during his
tour, the President stated entire will
ingness to accept any and all reserva-
! tions not incompatible with America q
honor and true interests. 1t is the
plain intent of the covenant that the
Monroe Doctrine is excluded, that do
mestice questions are exempted, that not
one American can be sent out of the
country without formal action by Con-
gress and that the right Of withdrawal
Is absolute. If there are words which
can make these meanings clearer, they
will be welcomed. 1t is not reserva
tions that the President stands against,
but notification
He told how President Wilson had
published the tentative text Of the
league covenant widely in 1910, asking
for criticism and receiving suggestions
from Taft, Hughes and others that
were actually incorporated into the
revised draft of the league"
Senator Lodge, he said, refused to
offer constructive amendments at any
time. $50 intoleyant was his attitude
that he would not even consider a com :
promise proposed by former President
Taft of his own party and which was
assured of support of forty Demo-
cratic senator's. Senator Lodge knew
that he controlled the Senate and that
in his own time and way he would de-
stroy the treaty.
Story Of Treaty's Defeat
"This is the sordid story of its de-
feat" said Cummings, after reviewing
the Senate's action in the matter. mo
blacker crime against civilization has
ever soiled the pages of our history.

fidence that we approach the important
work of presenting a platform and
naming a candidate. for we offer to
America an assurance based on achieve
ment We present pledge founded on
performance.
To Keep Eyes to Front
. "The Republican party would turn
backward, unmindful>of the hopes and
aspirations of forward looking men and
women, and would have us restore to
power reactionary forces which could
only result in ruin and disaster, but we
will continue to keep our eyes to the
front and will hold to the path that
during eight glorious years has led
America to prosperity, peace and world
leadership.
"Our, opponents speak to the people
in the language Of yesterday. They
see only through the lenses of reaction.
Through years of retrogression their
party has now reached the decadent
stage. The Chicago platform stamps IL
as A party of destruction. Its declara-
tion of principles condemns but sug-
gests no remedy either for real or fam
cied ills. It is out of tune with free
people everywhere; it is out Of harmony
with the worlds desire; it no longer,
as in the days of its rebirth, stands as
a giant championing the cause of free
dom, but, dwarfed by loss of principle,
it has developed into vicious, grabbed
old scold.
America will not look for leadership
In that party; America will not tolerate
the leadership Of that party. Never
more than now does our country look
to Democracy to save it from the course
of national degradation prescribed by
Republicanism, or to save it from ab
ject humiliation before the nations OF
the earth.
"Never an Evasive Party"
"Our party is almost as old as the
nation itself. It was created when the
forces of popular government assumed
for the first time in the worlds history
the direct conduct of a nation. 1t has
progressed in thought as our nation
progressed in growth and attainment. II
has kept pace with the time and has

The Solution of the Problem

The facilities now used by you were paid for
what they are earning In Louisiana while
serving you Just as you know.
Can you ask or expect them to furnish moro
money for your use in Louisiana under pres
ent conditions?
II the people OF Louisiana will not supply
the money needed TO serve themselves they
must induce strangers to furnish it,
This can be done by allowing the stranger to
earn fair and just profit upon his money
now Invested In Louisiana, serving you, and
upon all additional money required to furnish
you service
This can be done in but one way: by paying
fair and Just rates.
When the Company is legally authorized to
charge rate which will yield fair and Just
profit over and above the cost Of furnishing
you service in the state Of Louisiana, IL can
secure from strangers living In other states
the money needed to furnish service to the
state Of Louisiana
The Company must have this right before II
can get the money.
The people of Louisiana must act first
To have telephone service you must either
invest your own money In the COmpany's bust
ness. or permit the Company to earn such
profit upon its present and future investment
as will induce strangers to invest their money

FIRE BADLY DAMAGES SACRED
HEART ACADEMY.
Electric Plant, Kitchen and Store
Full of Provisions Destroyed.

GRAND COTEAU, Oct. 22.-He-
roic work by the faculty and students
at st. Charles college and citizens
generally saved Sacred Heart Acad
emy and Normal school from destruc-
tion by fire Wednesday afternoon,
when the flames, originating in the.
electric plant, destroyed the plant,
the kitchen and the store room in the
rear of the convent Calls for help
were sent to surrounding towns and
to the fire department at Opelousas,
and prompt responses were made, but
the flames had been conquered before
the fire department could make the|
run to Grand Coteau.
Citizens of Grand Coteau and near
by towns rallied to the assistance OF
the faculty and students at st.
Charles college and fought the flames
most valiantly and effectively, de-
spite that the fire had obtained good
headway before help arrived. tits re-
garded as exceedingly fortunate that
their efforts were sufficient to save
the main building. 1t is known that
some insurance was carried on the
building destroyed, but the amount is
not known. The damage is estimated
at $4,000. The religious are very
thankful to all those who assisted in
fighting the fire and in saving the
main building under a handicap.
At the time the fire was discovered
all the students, with the exception of
those on the sick list, were out for al
walk. 1t was feared that the main
building would also catch fire. So to1
take no chances the furnishings in the
building were removed by citizens
who had answered the call, together
with the student body Of st. Charles,
who did splendid work fighting the
flames and preventing their spread.
The right wing Of the building includ
ing the. kitchen and store room, were
completely destroyed, the latter being
heavily stocked with provisions for
the approaching winter months.

SPANISH LAKE TO BE CLEANED
OUT AND STOCKED WITH FISH
BY STATE AND u. S. AID.
State Commissioner Promises This
After Thursdays Inspection Trip.

Commissioner NJ. L. Alexander of
the State Department of Conservation,
and Mr.. Holmes, Supt. of the Game
Department, arrived in New Iberia
Thursday for further work among the
sportsmen Of this parish.
The principal purpose of this trip
was to make an investigation of
Spanish Lake, in which Sen. V. j.
Smith had interested the Commission
er.
In company with Mr.. Smith and a
number of other citizens, Mr.. Alex
ander took trip out to the Lake
Thursday, and spent considerable
time in investigating conditions there.
AS a result he has determined to seek
aid from the State and Federal Gov
ernments in cleaning out the water
lilies, and stocking the water with
fish.
He issued the statement that he
shall from now on make it unhealthy
for any one caught seining in this
lake, and will prosecute all offenders
in the Federal Courts instead of the
District Courts.
Mr.. Alexander considers this lake
one Of the best inland bodies Of water
that any town has as an asset, and
will make an effort to stock it heayi-
ly with fish in the near future, and
by breaking up the eseining he hopes
to see 1berians able to catch all the
fish they want without going else
where for them.
Mr.. Smith has taken strong in
terest in this matter, and assured the
Commissioner of the hearty support
of the Spanish Lake Club members.
