TEOSASGAZETTE JOSEPH, - - - LA. FRIDAY, JIY 23, 1915. DI OCRNTIC I0IIIEES FOR DELE GATES TO COISTITUTIONAL CONHYEITION., G. H. CLINTON F. L. OUTIHRIFi lIl $3I113 WE HAVE A CONSTITU THIAL CONVENTION? On the 31st day of ,\Agust the people of this, and every other par ish of the State, will he called, upIn to vote on the proposition if hbl1 ng a Constitutional ('coventi,ri, a:1l we urge the people of thi" pa ri-lh to vote against the prlopo.itiol. As an evidence of the great hi:Irm that can be done us by the hIling 91 a Convention, we qu ote the fl lowing from the report of flln. Thee. M. Wade, Stiperintenh Jent ;,f Education of TenI.as p ,i-', il 14' t- the School Boar,! at its mneeting last 'Tuesday: I fe1 it my duty to call yii3 r athl til to a grave danger threatetning. thit h,aln in the near future. As y3it are amlare, the' ; Legilature has submitte, I thei quie-tii t, the voters of the state wnhet!lr thir,' shall be a constitutionail 4, onv.'tion ,r not. If a majority of the \v,ter-, f the S. tate declare for a conven(tion, thiii par ish, a all paritles similarly sitnut,,, will likely lose (10 1pr (ent of the a1p,'ttr tionment of the current schl5,, fundl it,, received. The apportion,ment is n ,,\% i.,h, in proportion to the' ilnier of e'dIwal,. bhildren in all the parishes li't'ee'ln th, aga of six and eighteen years. I 'nl.4 this apportionment this pari-h has r' ceived from ten to twelve th,,n-anid lh, has per year for the last four years. Theseis a Ientiinent gro i: l in the cities to change the basis of app4,rti,~t alnt of this current tchool funln. 'tipt. T. H. Harris is in favor of a ('hatge , f apportionment. 1ie wrote lme that hI' would recommend to the propo.,d con vention that one half of thi cu('rrent school fund be divided armon.; tlihe par ishes in proportion to the avetrage atte(nI ae of all the pupils basei upon a inill S months mession, and the ather half is ,Ii , tded among the parishes in propjlrtin4 ' to the number of teachers emphloyed mul t'- plied by the number of days tauight. If this apportiomnent or a similar ne( Si adopted by the proposedl conlven tinll, ithi parish, and all parishes siimilarlt ' iltated, will get, probably, not forty per eaut of the present apportionmenlt. In view of the possibility of the alp Stio of this new plan of apportionmienr of the current school flnds, I aIlt (cll .rained to recommend that you pass suit Shae Ib solutionsass I4notice to tih teach era of the parish of the po-sihtility if a seven and a half or eight months .4sin. It is not my purpose to reeonlmmenl that ye ineduce the length of lthe SeQion un S les this move is forced upon u" by t1h,. r5duction of revenue to such an extet't that this move will be imperative. From the above it will be seen that the holding of a Constitutional Con - vention may be a serious menace to the public school system of thi. and other parishes where there is Sa preponderence of negro popula lt ion, or where the proportion of Swhite and negroes are nearly equal. The parishes which would benefit -. this proposed apportionment will : 'b the rich and powerful parishes, which ase amply able to help them S'selves, but it will be the poor par- I labe. which will suffer. The very Sprineipal upon which the public' sohool system is founded is thet r principal of letting the strong help the weak, the rich the poor, so that the proposition advocated by Mr. Harris is destructive of the founda tion principal of public edncation. During the past few years the public schools of our parish have made wonderful improvemnent. The modest one-room school ho(,uses ino the three towns o(f our parish have 1 disappeared before the onhward march P of education and Ibeen replaced Iby ..bandibome and imposing structures that are an ornalent to ea('ch clrn munity and with a faculty :and cur- t .riculum secotlt to no country town ~ in this section of the State. In shrt i the educational systh( tf l4',n.:lsa parish is to-day the prile 4, onur people. Can we alT:frd now to, se. Sthe pendulum swing backward? A rote against the Co,,nvention is a vote in favor of conltinuing the publie school system as it is to-day. We suggest that the people all oer the State take up and debatel thiLs question: :t S Resolved, That a Constitutional ' S(orvention can provide MORiE REV- t 'lNUR for the State WITIIO'T C INReASING TAXATION.

In purchasing a motor car the purchase price is not only to be taken into consideration but the subsequent cost of maintenance and operation. Herein I:ORI) cars are in a class by themselves--so far away, so far ahead of all other cars in economy that il comparison is ailmost impossible. 'I he small expense of the parts and repairs for a FORD is one of the best arguments why you should buy a FORD, and the new prices on parts amour ting to about a ten per cent reduction from prices prevailing a few months ago-- ý is a strong illustration oi the constant economies being worked out for the benefit of fO1D) owners. Huying a O()Dl) part by part will cost only $513.00, AýU or $23.00 more than the factory price for the assembled car. Ask your friends who are owners of other cars for prices on repairs so that ) ou will be able to appreciate the i Slow cost of FORD repairs. Another consideration is that repairs for FORD cars are much easier to get as they are carried at convenient places, making it unnecessary to send direct to the factory for parts, requiring longer time for parts to come, and as the cars is out of service until the repairs are received, you are out of the use of, the car at times when most needed. ; Ford Touring Car $490; Runabouts $440 Town Car $690; Coupelet $750; Sedan $975; fully equipped, f. o. b.

C. Smith, 'The old friends and frequent vis ilors to tihe hospitalble home o(f thle yilyth's at "\Vavertree," will be grieved to know that Aunt Patience has passed over the river. Aunt Patience had been with the family for sixty years and when called away had reached eighty-five years. She always spoke of "our family," I and those friends she looked upon as her own, and was so, regarded. She was quite a character and a cer tain amount of deference she always claimed as the oldest of the family. Even when age came upon her, she resented any attempt to relieve her of certain duties that she had faith fully filled in the family for years. She always expected that old friends who visited the family should be greeted bIy her soon after their ar rival, seemed to consider that the well known hospitality of the Smyths was partly sustained by her. Thus the old friends feel a keen 4 regret that Aunt Patience has gone. --NaW#ba NewaDemloet. IEWIELLTOI IOTES. .Miss Willie Lea i-, of St. Joseph, is . visiting relatives here. - Prof. T. C.
