The Natchitoches enterprise., 1922-01-26

The Constitutions of both the
United States and of Louisiana
are very properly things for the
rising generation to study, and if
they are not part of the history
course in every high school they
should be.
Among the present generation
of voters not five out of a hundred
are familiar with the provisions Of
the basic laws of their country and
their State. More of each hundred
than it would be comforting to
estimate pass upon q proposed
amendment of the State Constitu
tion, and actually determine its
fate, with too little knowledge of
what they are voting for or against.
But for the analysis to which the
proposals are subjected in advance
of the date of voting they would
have no knowledge whatever of
the provision they vote to remedy
or retain.
If more high school students of
this time are grounded in IA un.
derstanding of the Constitution,
the new generation of voters will
be wiser and more dependable
than this which has preceded them
blunderingly. T b g Enterprise
commends the teaching.

It isn't q question whether the
people of the country favor pro-
hibition, but the issue is, do they
favor the enforcement of q law
legally passed and q part of the
statutes. It is an issue that goes
to the root of law and order in
this country. ,
