A Plea for the People.

IL Is evident 10 Tie press anu CAo
people of Louisiana that among the
gigantic evils of the present day is
the existence of Circuit Courts of APP
peal. The most eminent legal minds
of the state, outside of those who are
benefited by its existence. also en-
terrain the belief that this stately scab
hanging on to the Judiciary of Lou
isiana should be peeled from the
surface.
It is luxury of the most luxurious
kind where money in large amounts
is spent to maintain that which is alb
solutely useless, and which would
be almost a stranger to the state were
it not for the $4,000 it is forced to
pay out annually to those who per-
form no beneficial services whatever.
The Baton Rouge Advocate thus
expresses itself upon this subject
cit appears in fact to be kind of
a judicial child's playa court with
out jurisprudence. amenable to no
authority, a miniature despotism of
the most pronounced type from whose
decision there is no appeal, and
whose rule of action is passing whims
of the presiding judge. The result
of such farcical system is that we
have as many different systems of
Curcuit Court jurisprudence as there
is Circuit Courts in the State, nor is
court bound in the decision of one
case by the decisions formerly rem
dered in similar cases by the same
court.
''The constitution and maintenance
of this court is reflection upon the
judicial system of Louisiana which
should be wiped out with the least
possible delay. If the people should
be given an opportunity of express
ing their opinion of this at the ballot
box we feel assured that they will
make short shift of it and that by an
overwhelming majority.
eve need money for our schools
and yet here are $4,000 annually
being practically thrown away, while
we are frittering valuable time away
in the discussion of abstract and un-
profitable problems.
'sLet us throw aside all these su
perfuous weights which have so long
retarded our progress, get rid of al
useless encumberances and step for
to the era of progress that awaits US
The constitutional commission is ex
pected to accomplish much good il
the interest of our people and of gooi
government, and among the frs
things for them to lop off should b.
that excrescence that has so long
marred the beauty of our judicial sys
tenn, the circuit courts .

North Louisiana needs new life and
new vigor. 1t needs more railroads
and better facilities for reaching mar
kets. 1t needs a large immigration
to help develop its great resources.
It has brilliant future before it, if
its people will wake up and be doing.
