AT last the parish is lid of the

Tor. Dan Mason, for brief season,
eft least. Dan was tried before the
Parish Court last Saturday, and the
evidence being conclusive that he had
laid unauthorized hands upon a
cypress log belonging to Mr.. Fred

tepce of six months imprisonment IN

the prisoners appeal to be allowed Go

Judge Maher rightly assumed that
Mason had been an expense to this
community quite long enough. The

We commend the attention of our
Police Curry to the fact that in st.
Mary and, we believe, one or two
other parishes, ordinances have been
adopted requiring offenders con-
demned to imprisonment in the local
.jails to be employed in repairing the
public roads. Ifsuch regulations are
not contrary to State law, they might
be enacted with propriety and adj
vantage here. Road oyerseers can be
readily sworn in as Deputy Sheriffs
and entrusted with the safe keeping
of the prisoners under their charge.
In this way parties guilty of compare
lively trivial offenses will not only be
compelled to render some return to
the parish for the cost of their board
and lodging, but the prospect OF be-
ing forced to work will deter many
auarrelsome, idle and lazy people
from infractions of the law and
breaches of the public peace to which
they are so prone upon the slightest
provocation. Mere Imprisonment,
with substantial and regular meals, a
fair sleeping place and no work to
do, seems rather an attraction than a
terror to numerous class of petty
criminals, which always has its rep
resentatives in our parish Jail, enjoy
ing an indolent life and becoming fat
and greasy at the public expense.
