PARKER DIES, HOME STATE (Continued from Page One) i ment which he prosecuted at the cost of much personal popularity. “The pitiful appeals of families and friends of condemned persons always touched me deeply,” the Governor once said, “but I had no other course as Governor, in accord with my oath of office than to follow the path of duty. After studying minutely every particle of ~ evidence of a case, I would place myself in the position of a juror at If, in my opinion under such circumstances, the condemned deserved his fate, no pressure or influence could move me to halt the execution of justice.” H Outstanding eature { One of the outstanding features of Gov. -Parker’s term was the building of an entirely new plant for the Louisiana State University.' It was his realization of a dream of “a school where the son of the farmer and the son of the wealthy would have equal opportunities for education,” and earned for the Governor the title of “father of the new university.” , On is farm at St. Francesville Gov. Parker experimented with modern farming methods and ideas in the home of aiding the agricul- ' ture of his state. It was there also that he became familiar with the ! recurring problem caused by the floods of the Mississippi Valley | states. His experience in the floods and as director of flood relief made him a vigorous proponent of com- | plete Federal control of the river. For many months after the over- flow in 1927 he devoted his entire time to the matter and became a familiar figure at Washington while | presenting his case before govern- ment officials.
