ST. A YEAR,
Sheriff Henderson's Interview.

In another column will be seen
the published interview, granted
the IDERrAN by Sheriff Henderson,
on the subject of the small salaries
paid TO Justice of the peace.
We presume that much, perhaps
all Of what the sheriff complains If
deserving OF deep consideration
Yet il seems to us that the Police
Jury have gone from one extreme
to the other.
The new law seems TO have been
authorized by article l2S Of the con
stItutlon which says:
Justices Of the peace and constables
shall receive no fees in criminal mat
tiers, including bond cases, but. in lieu
thereof such salaries as may be fixed
by the police iuries and paid by the
parish, which salaries shall be grad
ed"
Under the old system prisoners
were crowded into our jail until 1T
was overlooking, and it was great
drain on the taxpayers. We rem
ember one case OF where person
stole plank, worth perhaps twt nty-
five cents, and was kept IN Jail for
months at a cost to TIE taxpayers
of forty cents day besides the cos
Of trial. There was another case OF
watermelon theft, the melon being
worth five or ten cents, where the
prisoner was kept for months at
like cost. Then chicken case, and
others.
The old system seemed TO encour-
aye too much of the above kind OF
arrests. The new seems TO discourage
arrests whlchshou|d be made. While
perhaps, the new aptalIs less cost to
the taxpayer than the old, we re-
)mmend, If possible, happy
medium, should such medium be
possibly arrived at. W.

take in life there is no reason why he
should not reform and be man among
men. First L must tell you who L am.
