SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

Among the decisions of the Su-
| preme Court, last week, we find
!, the following. which we republish,
as being of special interest to our
readers:
By Chief Justice Bermudez:
Dacrodes ct als. VS.. Bridget MUIR
ply ct. als.-A purchaser at tax
sale, which is annulled, is entitled
to recover from the owner of the
property the portion of the part of
adjudication which went to the
payment OF taxes which ennred to
the benefit of the owner, relieving
the property of a charge TO which
It was liable even when the ASSESS
ment was illegal, as the property
could be reassessed and the taxes
collected under such reassessment
Rehearing refused.
By Associate Justice Manning:
State of Louisiana VS.. l.. G. Poy-
nier, ct als,-Appeal from the Grim
iDal District Court of the Parish Of
Orleans.-A voluntary confession
of a prisoner is admissible in evil
dence against him. The cross-ex-
animation of witness may embrace
any matters pertinent to, or grow
ing out OF, or connected with what
has been elected on the examine
tion-in-chief.
The general rule of law is that
what one does through ano.Ler's
agency is to be regarded as done
by himself. One whose sole will
procures the commission of Grim.
inal act is principal, without regard
to the physical agencies he en-
ploys and whether he is present or
absent when the act is done. The
test to determine whether one is
principal rather than accessory
IS whether he is SO situated as to
make his personal help available;
aot actual physical help, uecessari-
~, but help OF any kind; not help
rendered by actual presence, but
constructive presence as we'll. Thus,
lf.he wanted TO prevent his COM
panions being surprised, or sta
toned himself to give the alarm TO
favor their escape. or was in such |
rs to come to their assist |
,nce, so that the knowledge of his
watching, or position, inspired or
was calculated to inspire his cou-
federates with additional conf
ience and enable them quicker or
safer or more effectually to commit
the crime. then he is principal.
If one with knowledge that the
of crime has been de-
on gets away and keeps
away from the spot for the purpose
If facilitating tho commission of,
'tc., he is principal, although lie
s not present or near enough to
i've assistance physically and mo-
ally to his confederates. Juig-
nent affirmed.

No LETTER MAIL There were no
letters in the mail from the city
last Thursday evening, except a
number addressed to the Mande-
vile office. We suppose the letters
addressed to Covington were sent
to Vaudeville. We know the "boss''
of the city Office is attending the
Chicago convention, and his force
of assistants are more or less ex-
cited and demoralized, but that is
no reason why they should be guilty
of such criminal carelessness as
that Of sending the letter mail to
the wrong Office. There may have
been important documents in the
mail that day. demanding immedi-
ate attention, in which event Uncle
Sam is liable to a suit for costs and
damages. We hope the officials
in the New Orleans office will not
let this occur again.

Subscriptions to the telephone
fund are coming in slowly. About
1920 have been raised 30 far, and
We hope to be able to announce,
next week, that ali the shares have
been taken. This line, when COM
pleted, will benefit our town in a
hundred ways. Besides being n
great convenience, it will increase
the summer business of our mer
chants and botel keepers, rs there
will be larger influx of visitors as
soon rs it becomes known that we
are connected with the city by tele-
phone. It will be an additional at
traction to our town, as a summer
resort, and will materially increase
the value of property. There are
manifold reasons why this line
should be built, and we hope the
interest displayed will not be al
lowed to diminish, but that the
work will be vigorously pushed for
ward to completion. This is an en-
terprise in which we are all inter-
ested; we will all profit by it, and
all should willingly lend helping

RECOGNIZING THE PRESS
[Capitolian-A Advocate


At the last meeting of the Press
Association resolution was adopt
ell requesting its President to asl
the General Assembly to pass Law
that will secure payment to the
printer of his charges for legal adj.
vertisements, of which lie is fire..
quently deprived by the entangle.
ments Of law procedures.
This matter having been brought
to the attention of Hon. Robert p
Hunter, of Rapides, a gentleman as
distinguished for his legal ability
us for the talent he has at times
displayed us an editorial writer,
that gentleman has generously un-
dertaken to urge compliance with
the just request made by the Press
Association, and has given notice
that he would introduce an Act
"To fix the rate and regulate the
cost Of judicial advertisements, sue
cession notices. etc; to require par
ties ordering the same to give Sc
curity satisfactory to the printer
for the cost OF same, in advance of
the publication, and making sher-
ills, administrators, syndics, ETC.,
personally liable for failure to de-
mand said security; to make the
payment for judicial advertisements
due prior to the expiration of the
time fixed for sales. appointment of
administrators, syndics, etc, and
authorizing the publishers of news
p,pers to discontinue said adver-
tisements if the costs of same are
not paid prior to the time fixed for
sales, appointments. etc, making
the costs of same part of the
sheritfs and clerks costs, to be SO
taxed when not paid in advance,
and to repeal all laws or parts of
laws ID conflict with this act"
The present law is not calculated
to protect the interests Of the press,
and we earnestly hope the Legis-
iature will pass law that will al
low us fair compensation for our
work, and that will make it posi-
bic for us to collect our money.
Mr.. Hunter deserves the thanks
md the lasting gratitude of the
press for taking the initiative in
ibis matter. No man in the State |
las a higher regard for the press
han Mr.. Hunter. We remember
'nce District Judge had refused
and called Mr.. Hunter to
Ict as Judge. The case being a
'ery important one, orders were
siven to let none but officers and
members of the bar come within
he "railings." A newspaper editor
Don after presented himself. With
complimentary allusion to the
lber:y Of the press, orders were
iven to admit him. Seeing there
'as no chair for the disciple of the
art preventative. he stopped fur
her proceedings in the case, and |
ave orders to the Sheriff to find
hair, if any was to be found in the !
arish, adding, "the press must be :
lown all the respect due to it, as
ing as l preside over this court" !
therefore did not surprise us to t.
'e MIR. Hunter champion before "
re Legislature the cause of that
rofession which all enlightened P
I'd educated men must look upon
"the lever that moves the world" Al

SMALL PoN.-We learn there are
several eases of smallpox among
the colored people in the vicinity
Of Lancaster's brickyard. few
miles below Covinston. DR.. Te-
bault visited the brickyard last
Thursday and vaccinated iurtv-tiyc
persons. There are no cases mt The
brickyard. but in the immediate
neighborhood eight or ten colored
people are down with the disease.
Prompt measures should be taken
to prevent its spread throughout
the parish. Public safety demands
that Il pest-honse be established, in
some isolated place, where these
smallpox patients can be taken
and properly cared for. if we wish
to escape an epidemic of that loath-
some disease. We call the atten-
ton of the parish officers to the

they will lose no time in attending
