OPPOSITION USES STEAM ROLL.
ER" WHEN WEBER INSISTS
ON DEFERRlNG ACTION.
PLEA FOR SAVING FAILS
Resolution Is Adopted To Provide
Adequate Funds and Enact Neces-
sary Laws To Foster Agricu-
ture and immigration.

Baton Roughly the use OF rne

tion Of the time under suspension O
the rules, the Constitutional Conyen
ton disposed Of all business before il
last week, and closed the thirteenth
week of the session with an adjourn
ment.
The work done was largely rou
tine, consisting of advancement of or
clnances and committee reports
with the exception of contest over
the merging OF all of the levee boards
IN the state into one body. That fight
consumed nearly two hours and end
ed in the defeat of the merger plan
After clearing the calendar the rules
were suspended. The ordinance of
the committee on levees and public
Improvements, providing for the crea-
ton or leyee boards, was on the list,
and when 1t was reached Mr. Weber
OF Ascension sought TO have 1t made
the special order for Monday night so
as TO give him time TO get data TO aid
him In his fight for a consolidation Of
levee boards.
Opponents of the merger plan pro-
tested against deferring action until
Monday night and when Mr.. Weber
insisted the opposition brought out
the steam roller" The motion to fix
the ordinance as a special order for
Monday night was defeated and ii was
placed on second reading.
Mr.. Weber then offered an amend
ment placing all Of the levee districts
In the state under the supervision and
control OF a central board of seven
members, to be appointed by the gov
ernor Taking the floor in support of
his amendment. Mr.. Weoer said the
consolidation OF the management of
the sixteen levee districts in the state
into one board would save the taxpay-
ers OF the various districts thousands
OF dollars annually. He called atten-
tion TO the resolution previously
adopted by the convention memorial
izing the federal government to take
VI Tue ltNbtS- IN adopting
that resolution, he said the conven-
ton knew that 1t was asking the fed
eral government to control the leyees
through one central authority, name
ly, the Federal Board Of Engineers.
That resolution. he insisted was in
effect, an endorsement of the CEN
tral board plan
MIR. Weber said he knew he was &C.
ing up against a hard proposition in
seeking to change the present system
Of levee control.
You may talk about the Dock
Board and other New Orleans boards
mixing in politics." he said, but
want to tell you that they have moth
ing on our state levee board machine
Much has been said in the past about
the New Orleans boards being con-
verted into political machines. | can
say to you that the uower OF the state
levee board machine Is still greater.
There are 116 levee board members in
this state. When one goes up against
this large force, with all their power
and patronage. he encounters a gi-
gantic machine"
Continuing. Mr.. Weber said the ov-
erhead expenses OF the various levee
boards are approximately 100000

THE PRESIDENTS PLEDGE.

Before God and country President Harding, in
his inaugural address of yesterday has pghted him
self anew to the fulfment of these fundamental
American doctrines:
/. Jealous preservation of our institutions, our
traditions and our national honor at whatever cost.
2 Non-interference in foreign affairs accom-
panied with a Willingness to further the cause of
world peace by taking counsel with other nations
similarly disposed.
g. Sane restoration of pre-war industrial and
trade conditions with due allowance for the perma-
nent changes that the war has, wrought
A. A tariff that will protect American industries
without antagonizng the markets of the world.
5. Readiness of the American citizen to rush to
his countrys defense whenever she is threatened in
whatever capacity he may be called to serve and
without thought of private gain.
6. Less government in business and more bust
ness in government
Z. The rule of the majority, with the rights Of
the minorities sacredly guarded.
8. Encouragement of class war; the friendly ad-
justmen of controversies between capital and labor
and the rejection of destructive radicalism.
These summarize the theme of President Hard
ing's lengthy address which we wrnt in full else
where in this issue ,...
One is struck by Mr.. Harding's earnestness and
the humility with which he approaches hisestupend-
Gus task. His repeated appeals for divine guidance
and popular cooperation we do not believe are a
pose Whatever his deficiencies, the wants to
give his country the best that is in him.
The style of Mr.. Harding's address is somewhat
unfortunate 1t .abounds in poysyllables, involved
constructions and unusual phrasings While compost
ton of this kind might appeal to the sequestered
scholar, it lacks the Rosevetain straight-from-the-
shoulderness that Americans crave
But it is to be hoped that during the last eight
years the American people have learned that words
and wisdom, right and rhetoric, and syntaX and
craftsmanship do not always go hand in hand.

The Housekeeper Who Entertains
Simply.
Every time | see a housekeeper
whose mouth-co are turned
down and whose forehead is wrin-
killed. and whose tone is listless, |
always want to say to her: you
think you are too busy and over
worked to enjoy yourself, no
doubt; but what you really need is
to do a little entertaining!
Only about half the world has
the habit of entertaining. The
other half says to itself, IT'S lovely
to invite your friends in, now and
then-but refreshments cost mon
ey." Or I'D like to give an occa-
sional party-but I'm so tired when
/ get through my work. that l
couldn't enjoy it," .h....
Such people don't realize that
there is such a thing as simple en-
tertaining; and that one doesn't
feel so tired when ones life holds
little enjoyment.

few friends in to play bridge (if
she doesn't play bridge she can in
vite them into play commerce

learn in few moments and which
is great fun and who offers them
simply sweet sandwiches and a

And now as to the tired" ques-
ton. Let us say that Mrs. A. has
invited few neighbors to come
over in the evening and play a
game of cards. Let us say that on
the morning of that day, unexpect-
eddy, she receives a present from
a friend consisting Of basket of
fruit for preserving. The fruit is
already over-ripe, which means
that she must fall to- and put
it up at once. Allowing it to stand
even overnight might cause 1t to
spoil beyond use. SO she gets out

ting up the basketful 1t is hard

does not feel one-half as tired as

REVERSING THE ROLES.

Ever since Adam, has been blaming woman
for his sins.
"She tempted me and I did eat has been many
a male creatures when he was caught in
wrong doing.
Unjust as this attitude generally is, it is nevertne-
less founded on high conception of wOmanhood
Let us explain this paradox, Man looks to woman
for his moral standards. When she fails him, he is
prone to cry out "She tempted me and did eat"
Unless she holds high the lamp Of righteousness, the
man is apt to go astray.
But now comes Mrs. Jennie Van Housen, Of
Omaha with a new angle. He told me it was easy
she declared Tuesday when she was caught shortly
after having helped hold up a woman trading
clerk and taken several valuable fur coats according
to the police
Mrs. Van Housen said that her partner had
made it look easy everything" OF course, she
sprinkled her explanation with tears.
When Eve says that adam tempted me and L
did eat" the world needs fixing.

Trade and industry reports con-
tinue very irregular, varying, IN

characterization is difficult, If IN

that the apparel and food trades,
while noting cautious buying. pre-
sent about the most cheerful ad-
vices and exhibit the chief strength
whereas many so-called basic
trades, notably iron and steel the
other metals, coal and building
materials reflect the least opti-
mistic feeling and native weakness,
Even within these two great
classifications, however. varying
degrees of activity and strength are
noted, and it is difficult to depict
except at great length the differ

changes. Thus, in the apparel
trades the weakness of raw cotton

products. such as yarns. print
cloths and sheeHings and the un-
