There is no doubt that the adoption of
COrporeal punishment for petit larceny
would tend to stop stealing. No one
who once submitted to the intictiOn of
the lash would be apt to steal again.
The cure would be radical. But we
are opposed to any such measure No
harbarity should be tolerated i'm this
State. Hence, we believe the bill will
fail of adoption.
The committee on the Constitution
will report unfavorably on the bill to
amend the Constitution so as to enlarge
the civil jurisdiction of Justices of the
Peace. 1t certainly would be to the
interest of taxpayers if some of the
higher courts were abolished and the
Justices of the Peace given power to try
and decide minor offences; but. then we
suppose the hangers.on must be taken
care of.

Our Choice For Congress.
Hon. E.J. Gay.
[Iberville Soulful

We are i'm favor of the reelection of
MIR. Gay because he is the right man in
the right place suits the people who
sent him to Washington to watch over
their interests, which are constantly me-
naced by knot of theoretical politicians
whose anti-tariff schemes would, if car
ried out, convert lower Louisiana into a
bowling waste.
The sugar interests Of Louisiana, from
which half million Of people derive
their sustenance. and tO maintain which
millions of capital are annually called
into requisitiOn, cannot be entrusted to
safer hands.
MIR. Gay is one of the largest sugar
planters in Louisiana, and has invested
thousands upon thousands Of dollars to
develop the sugar industry of our State
he is thorough planter and manufactu-
rer, intimately acquainted with the wants
of the planter and laborer. and is possessed
of business talents which lift hia, high
above the plane occupied by politicians
generally.
In supporting Mr.. Gay we reflect the
wishes Of the Democratic party of Iber-
vile, and We trust the party throughout
the District will show it's preference for
him by rendering him lnaGim0ns nom-
imatiOn in convention assembled. 1t Is
due to him because he has been a faith
fGi servant and because it is usage.
