WHO is "LEX" OF THE TIMtS2

In the Times OF Sunday morning
last is an article signed Lex" which
should be read by every citizen OF
this parish particularly, because its
contents are menace to the laws
supremacy, an apology for travesties
on the name of justice.
1t was no doubt written by friend
Of Judge Taylor, and a still warmer
friend, sympathizer and upholder Of
illegal gambling, and WAS intended
to justify the extraordinary position
taken by that judge on the recent
gambling indictments, by showing
that in period Of thirty-seven years
this in 1icisl district has been in the
hum'liating position of subservience
to the gambling element, either
through perjury of jurors, disinclina-
ton to prosecute on the part Of dis
trict attorneys or queer rulings OF
judges. This writer LEX states
that during all these thirty ,eyen
years only one conviction WAS secured
and this by Mr.. Hinton Smith in
1860.
He further says: Since then true
bills have been returned time and
again prosecutions vigorously made;
but al! efforts to convict have inyari-
aably resulted in a"anittals, hung

DIST. ATTORNEY LAND'S DEFENSE

Under thu above caption District
Attorney John r. Land had a card
in the Times Of May 9th, which he
asked HE PRosRE9s to copy. This
would have been done last week but
the editor was absent.
In this article Mr.. Land makes a
long and useless defense of himself
for something he was not charged
with; as everyone knows that the
gamblers escape was due entirely to
the PECULIAR" Interpretation of the
law as handed down by Judge Tay-
lor. For this ruling Mr.. Land was
not to blame nor was he severely
criticised, though some did contend,
and The PRoGRRss does, that he
should have tried every case and
forced Judge Taylor to place himself
on record in every instance, on every
one.
But our district attorney has very
serious charge to answer to, one he
was arraigned by the people for, one
he must answer to, but entirely omit
ted in his card; which is an explana-
ton of his Wholesale nolle pros of the
indictments against Messrs. Benja-
min, ct al. for highway robbery. This
responsibility he cannot shift to the
shoulders of Judge Taylor because
that official had nothing-as far as
the public knows-to do with it. He
had made no peculiar" ruling in
these cases, had given the district
attorney no excuse for growing petu-
liant and exercising the prerogative of
the nolle pros.
Our people have not forgotten that
deep disgrace was brought upon
our town, community and parish by
the participators in this unwarrant-
able, inexcussble drama and the peo-
pie will not be satisfied with a dis
missal of the cases by mere force on
the part Of their prosecuting officer,
by means Of his nolle pros power.
Of course he had the physical
power to exercise this privilege, but
the law abiding people of his district
believe that that is sll the excuse he
did have or exercise when be 30 sum-
marty dismissed or erased these in
dictments from the court records.
We repeat, our district attorney
and Judge owe an explanation to the
people for their surprising attitude
and action in these gambling and
robbery cases.

conviction in over a quarter Of n cen
tury, and that too after repeated and
persistent efforts on the part Of able
and Jealous officers, clearly d"mou
strates that there must be some fault
in the law and NOT in tho ministers Of
justice"
A shameful confession or oxpOsI-
ton to make to the world, truly. In
order to shield a Judge and make an
Illegal ruling justiliable, this writer
points out the fact that, notwith-
standing trne bills have been repeat
ed|y returned, no convictions have
been secured. In the face Of this,
can our best citizens longer fail to
see the necessity for the organization
of u law and order Ieugue? VIII
they continue to allow immoral men
to wantonIy ply illegal calIings with
ont fear of prosecution or conviction?
VIII they quietly rest under the bare
faced statement thus hippantly given?

can any law be enforced when
SherItfs are in sympathy with the &C
cused and will summon the right
kind Of mentor the defense-a
tales jurors or district attorneys

No, Lex. Your little game will

SENATOR CAfFERY ELECTED.

On Monday last Senator Gallery
was elected to the fall term of Mr.
Gibson's vacancy or place, beginning
March. 1895, and expiring SIX years
later
The news of Senator Caffery's eec-
ton fell like a bomb upon the ears Of
the farmers and wage earners all over
the State. To the laborer this man
is a bitter, unrelentiDg enemy. There
is no mpa~nre which labor advocates
that Nr. Caif~ry does not oppose;
nothing proposed IN its interest that
lie does not by voice and vote attempt
to defeat.
TO the Farmers Alliance he seems
specially opposed, their demands he
works against, their sentiments he
has no sympathy With. In fact he
seems bent on currying favor with
the financial hosts, seems anxious to
ingratiate himself in the favor Of the
plutOcratic powers, that class who
use their m )ney to subvert all meas
ures to their own ends, and pass leg
islatlon III their OWE interests.
The easy election of Mr.. Gallery
was an omlnous warning to labor. 1t
teaches it, or should do 80, that men
who follow industrial pursuits will
ever be relegated 10 the vacations Of
''hewers Of wood and drawers Of
water" in the public affairs OF our
commonwealth. That politically
they have no rights nor privileges,
but must ever be- hubselvlent to the
dictaton Of the plutocratic pOtentates.
1t should teach the Farmers ALI
ance to examine well its own mem
bershlp and purge the organization
of all who proved. unfalthful to their
order by supporting Mr. Gallery. La
looking over the list we find that
lles,rs. Lott, Fike, Heard, Nusom,
Scip, Stroud, Ward, Wren, Boone,
Collins, Harmason, Hinson, Phillips,
Pulford, Hooper, Lomax, Mathis,
Meeker, Mile, Nelson, Richardson,
Stages, Taylor, Wan and Welch are
numbered among those who support
ed MIR. Gallery. This is a fitting
climax truly, Alliance men, men who
pretend to indorse, advocate and sup
port our principles, casting their
votes for this arch enemy. These
men who owe their positions mainly
to the Alliance, Of which they are
members, an organization which has
repeatedly Endorsed the Ocala de.
mands, and no longer than the ses-
sion Of the Union preceding the
last, for the number Of times innum-
cradle from memory, the Caddo par
lsh union passed strong resolutions
reafiirming our allegiance to these
demands, and instructing our repre-
sentatives, who are Messrs. WATSON
and Phillips, to support no man for
Senator who did not favor these
claims. Those resolutions were pub
lished in The PRooREss, to which
botn these gentlemen are subscrib-
srs, and they certainly understood
them. In view of their actions in
this matter both should Immediately
send in their designations to their
unions, as should all who voted for
Gallery, for assuredly they cannot
hope to remain acceptable members
after they have SO wllfully cast their
votes in opposition to the expressed
often repeated, wishes, desires and
demands of their order. They have
cast their lot with our enemies and
should fully and completely take up
quarters in their camps; and from
now on, it would he worse than
folly for the Alliance to expect any

That Chief Nelson now has an op-
portnnity to make a record that any
officer might feel proud Of. This can
be secured by breaking up Illegal
gambling in this city, which he has a
right to do under the Herold bill.
That if any man in this town
knows of constable who has q
hand in with crap or any other
illegal game, it is his duty to repeat
it and not have several innocent pcO-
pie under suspicion by his insinua-
tons, as the author of an article in

wondering why it was done. They
have good cause you see.
That we have now a very good
