The name of Harry Whiteman has been
mentioned as one who would make very
efficient City Solicitors clerk under the
new City Solicitor, Henry G. Conrad.
There is said to be a.schemel on foot to
have Henry G. Conrad named by Governor
Tunnel rs one of tho Republican judges,
which would ensure Robert G. Harmon
the position of City Solicitor for two years
more and also provide birth for Eddie
r. Cochran, Jr
Some persons appear to think that Mr.
Conrad would not accept tho Judgeship
but u cGn.year appointment at 5000
year would be q big temptation to any
man, and thUn tho honor Of being u judge
is something that every lawyer strives for,
but which few attain in our State The

Of a special tax 10 aid OF The defendant
railway company. which resulted ID q
victory for the railroad by q majority
Of the voters ID numbers and amounl
who participated ia the election, A
number OF taxpayers OF that parish
contested the election on the ground
that the constitutional provision author

jority of all the taxpavers in numbers
and amount should vote for the tar.
the case was tried before Judge w. p.
Hall in Mansfield and the election was
decreed Invalid.

city, represented the citizens and tax

sensed By Alexander q Blanchard. Of

There Is considerable talk in legal and
political circles relative to the vacancy
on the Supreme Bench that Will be crea-
ted by the promotion of Judge McEnery

want Il. We believe nc can get II II he
wants 1t, although streng petition has
been gotten up Ia the tntereet OF Judge
Land, OF Shreveport But should Mr..

difference Ia the methods employed BY

cullies which are already confronting
The Republicans III the matter Of tariff

that laws which restrict the free ex-
change OF commodities between the peo

are aeccesary TO the commercial pros

Die that this doctrine Is ID direct con-
fiIst with the whole science Of political
economy, which Is, in large way, as
exact science as chemistry, and the
laws ~ which are iust as certain and

ned themselves behind a few arguments
that are plausible, principally because
they appeal to a near sighted selfshness
Of mankind. But ihe signs Of the tim 1
Indicate the fact that tho people Of the

For months past. the above mentioned
committee has been holding conferences
