under this feature Of the bill "mary

Discussing the effect of the bill on
agriculture, Mr.. Frear said it gives
reasonable protection to many farm
products. No justification exists.

Tariff Question Important
A duty on hides is urged by Mr..
Frear as substitute for the section
OF the bill which leaves them on the

Mr.. Frear dissents from portions
Of the bill for two resons. In the
first place, he says that they are in
violation Of the Republican Party
platform pledge that tariff rates
should be reasonable in amount and

actions by monopolies and trusts. y

who have banded together for the
purpose OF forcing consideration OF
agricultural relief measures, won its
first victory the day Congress recon-
vened after its July 4th holiday when
by a vote OF q to "a it rejected the
Lodge resolution calling for a Sem
ate recess until August 9th. 1t was
the first touch of insurgency that has
marred the "return to normally
and it undoubtedly came as a rude
shock to Penrose, Lodge, Smoot and
other Administration leaders.
Ordinarily defeat over motion
to recess would mean little. but in
this case it has considerable sign!e-
icance. There is no doubt but that
Lodge, Smoot. Poindexter, and other
members of the "Old Guard" wanted
the recess for the express purpose
of blocking remedial legislation plan
ned by the progressives. This was
openly charged by Senators Simmons
of North Carolina who decla.cd
'sthere is an element in this country
that does not want any legislation
for the relief of agriculture. the live
stock growers, or for anybody else,
because they call this interfering

The excessive heat was urged as
the excuse for the recess, but tho
real reason was to prevent consid-

amendments, the bill granting live
stock aid, the regulation of grain ex-
changes, and the threatened probe
into coal profiteering.
Aid for Farmers Demanded
Senator Norris, chairman of the
committee on agriculture, was the
first to protest after Lodge moved
the adoption of his recess resolution.

NatchitOcheS-An Art Center.

A movement is on foot for the
bringing of Natchitoches proml
nentIy into one of her best assets,
one that has always been distinc-
tive, though it has never been ex-
plotted but now thru the active
interest of two of her talented
daughters, the possibilities of the
realization are great.
The State papers have had quite
a bit to say recently about a State
Art Center and everything points
to Natchitoches as the logical
spot.
For other reasons than economy
it is important that art students
be taught at home. 1t is not so
generally understood as it should
be that in permitting its talented
children to pass beyond its intlu-
cnce, the South IS being annually
robbed of its most precious pro.
duct, for student in finding op.
portunity for study, finds oppor-
tunity to become identified with
that section and even if the pupil
returns, it will be found that the
technique of expression has been
fitted to foreign environment
and viewpoint. The separation
of the Southern art pupil from the
environment of childhood and So
cial experience, which it is the
high purpose of art to interpret,
IS for the art of the South a cal
amity and while this has no bear
ing upon scientific and material
pursuits, for art it is common
place of observation. The reac
tions from art study are appre-
citation of the value of beauty and
ideaIity in life for the substitution
of world-usage in taste for pro,
vincia lism and small town indif-
ference to orderly externals.
So recognizing this, Misses IT.
ma Sompayrac and Gladys Bres-
zeale are launching a movement
that its own natural momentum
will make success, and some
idea can be gained from the fol-
lowing that appeared in the recent
issues of The States.

Chief Justice White

The United States as a whole
and Louisiana in particular mourn
the loss of one of the most nota
bic national figures, in ohe death
of Chief Justice White, the vet
eran jurist; who during his long
years of service on the Supreme
Bench had grown in the admira
ton and esteem of not only his
official associates but of the whole
country.
Born and reared in Louisiana,
Mr.. White served with conspic'
iOus patriotism thru the civil war
and filled many high local posi-
lions of trust with ability and
marked intelligence before he be-
came a national figure and it is
generally accorded that no chief
justice since the first has ever had
q more important tenure of Office
during the 81 years he served
than our distinguished dead, hav-
ing participated in judgements
which decided the fate of some Of
the most ,momentous issues, the
income, direct primary. prohibi-
ton and woman suffrage amend
ments as we'll as the issues of the
tremendous legal battles which
grew out of the antitrust and
commerce regulation laws. The
Constitutional Convention ad
journed a day out OF respect to
bis memory when news reached
Baton Rouge and a committee
composed of Ex-Governor San
ders, Pleasant and Supreme Court !
Justices Dawkins and
Overton were appointed to
frame suitable resolutions on

SCHEME LAUNCHED RECENTLY
The scheme of the summer art col
ony has been launched only recently,
but it has gone ahead very quickly,
several from points in Texas and
Oklahoma nave signified their inten-
ton of taking advantage of this oppor-
tunity. The practical arrangements
of lodging them comfortably have been
made by Miss Breazeale and Miss
Sompayrac. Both of these young
ladies hold a prominent place in the
aristocratic background of social life
which distinguishes the little Southern
town, and are we'll known there as
we'll as in New Orleans, 50 that their
initiative in this scheme has aroused a
great deal of interest that is personal
as well as artistic.
The plans are for the artists to come
for perhaps two weeks in the summer,
or longer if satisfactory arrangements
can be made. There will be a compe-
tent artist who will be able to give
useful criticism. The latter part Of
June or perhaps July is the time de
cided upon. Next year, the length of
the "artistic season. will probably be
longer, bue a shorter time was con-
sidered advisable for beginning.
Local artists look upon the scheme
hopefully, with the wish that in the
school Of American landscape painting
which is being developed in the North
or East, there may come from this and
perhaps similar ventures as this ma
lures representative Louisiana ele-
| ment.
