Nay, Nay, Pauline!

1t was.belieyed, when the sub
ject of a Constitutional Convention
was first moote1, it was because
there were matters Of great mo-
ment that needed to be revised,
cut out, etc, and that the atten-
tion of the delegates would be
directed and concentrated upon
these matters and dispose of them
as expeditiously as possible.
With time at a prem u N
the honorable delegate who has
given notice of his intention tc
haye the word county substituted
for parish, for our political sub.
divisions, wishes to mark time fol
some other purposa or he wOulc
not try to waste it Dy even trying
TO introduce s.u uch an absuro
measure.
The word parish" is character
istic and time honored and marks
our State in this way from all the
other 43 in the onion; it means
Louisiana and is one of the mos
distinctive traces of our ancestry
remaining.
1t is linked with the very earl
iest.'history of the United States.
| The only reason we have seen
put forth why this change should
be made+ is that it would put us in
line with all the other States.
And that is the very reason i!
ought not to be made.

ate the things which distinguish

II this is to be done. why no,
do it thoroughly, and abolish ou,

parish, is Intimately blended!
1t is to be hoped that the Con.
vention will find some way .ot

want to consume it's valued time

The Phone Decision

The remarkable, not to say outrage
Gus, decision of the Railroad Commits
sion in the telephone case ought to
warn the people of New Orleans to be
on the alert against any move in the
Constitutional Convention to create a
State Public Utilities Commission
charged with control over the trans
portation, power and light utilities of
this city.
Under such Commission what has
happened in the case of the telephone
rates might as easily happen in re-
spect to the rates and service of our
railway system and our electric light
and gas plants.
What has happened. of course, is that
the Railroad Commission, domiciled in
Baton Rouge, out of touch with the
people and, hence, the more susceptible
to the pleadings Of great corporation,
has heard the plant Of the Telephone
Company, turned stony ear to the
case Of the people and rendered de-
cision without reference to the evil
dence, giving the company everything
| it asked.
Nothing more extraordinary than the
manner in which this decision was
| handed down has ever occurred in this
State, and if there is Indignation all
over Louisiana, with here and there a
demand for the resignation of the
members who rendered it, they have
only themselves to blame.
When quasi judicial body hears a
case in which great and influential
corporation is on one side and the peo-
pie on the other. and at the conclusion
of the hearing announces there will not
be decision for two weeks, and then
within an hour files an opinion Of
twenty. typewriter pages on compli-
Gated and intricate subject, and that
opinion exactly tracks the argument of
the corporation, it is evident that the
public has not had square deal; and
all the sophistication which Mr.. Taylor
and Mr.. Michel may offer cannot make
it otherwise.
The Telephone Company has not
justified its appeal for an increase of
its rates in Louisiana. Indeed, the
evidence shows that Louisiana has been
most profitable to the telephone mo-
nopoly of all the States OF the South.
But even if that we're not so there
can be no justification for an increase
in the price Of any commodity or SER
vice when business depression prevails
and the whole trend of prices is down.
ward, while even if reasonable grounds
had been shown for the advance, the
manner in which the decision was
rendered robs it Of any color of justice
and it ought to be Immediately recalled.
The city Of New Orleans has filed an
application for q rehearsing. It en-
bodies unanswerable arguments in fa-
-vor of reopening of the case and
revision of the decision.
Popular sentiment in the State is un-
mistaka Bile, Influenced not alone by the
fll1f hlAa - laeinion jneaaistent
With The merits 81 the ca5e but also BY
the extraordinary conditions under
which it was rendered. Under the cir

HOOVER ASKS BROWN
EUROPEAN DIRECTOR
TO talk WITH RUSSIA
(By Associated Prass)

WASHINGTON, Aug 1-Secretary
Hoover today cabled Walter L. Brown,
European director of the American
Relief administration in London, to
proceed to Riga and negotiate with
the Russian soviet authorities pre-
paratory to food relief work in Russia.
Mr.. Hoover's instructions, as head
of the administration, were sent on
receipt of a cablegram from Maxim
Gorky, at London, transmitting the
soviet governments acceptance of his
offer to fight famine among the chill
dren of Russia, if Americans detained
in Russia were released.
Would be glad if you would pro-
ceed at once to Riga" Mr.. Hoover
cabled Mr. Brown. 1T is Of course to
be assumed that the prisoners will
have been delivered out of Russia, as
demanded by the state department,
before you open discussions. You will
recognize that such a course is the
most primary evidence of willingness
to assure life and liberty to your staff
You will please advise Gorky and

I'VE need an outlet for our goods"
said Charles Anderson, of Bethel,
when asked his opinion of measures
necessary for better business in this
country.
$50 long as we cannot export, and
our goods, especially farm products,
keep piling up here, we have no
money and cannot buy. There are
big carry-overs of corn and oats this
year on account of the lack of foreign
trade. With no sales farmers are
without money to buy goods. Hardly
any new machinery has been bought
for the last two years We used to see
new binders and plows and moving
machines in the country, but you can
hardly find one in long trip now.
Farmers have been doing without
everything that they could, and max
ing the old machines run a little
longer.
Buying starts with the farmer and
so long as he has no money, business
will be bad. When we get fair prices
again, we can start buying once more
and business will recover"

FARMER LOSES LIFE
IN RESCUE ATTEMPT;
TWO ESCAPE DEATH

When three persons unable to swim
stepped into a deep hole in a stream
south of Pennville, near the Corners

their number drowned and the other
two barely escaped similar fate. All
lived in Washington township.
Michael ]. Risch, 32 years old,
farmer, father of four children, either
became entangled in the limbs CT a
sunken tree or was wedged between
rocks, meeting his death while his two
companions extricated themselves.
Benjamin Daniels was the first one
to step off the bank in water that was
deeper than he expected it to be.
Jacob Risoh went after him, but was
unable to take care of himself, and
Michael Risch went to the rescue OF
the two
In the meantime Daniels succeeded
in grasping a stick, making his way
to shore. He handed the stick to Jacob
Risch and pulled him out. When they
looked for Michael Risch he had dis

between obstacles in the bottom of the
stream, and succeeded in getting it to
shore, but life was extinct.
Coroner S. Edgar Bond declared
death was due to accidental drowning.
Jacob Risch was a cousin of Michael
