The two leading papers of Cal
casieu parish, the Lake Charles
American and Press, with COM
bined circulation of 5000, made an
effort to secure the parish print
ing recently, but the machine pol
iticians couldn't see it that way,
preferring to give their patronage
to local paper with Il ''limited"
circulation, but cheaper to handle
by the ring. This combination of
the American and Press no doubt
scared the greater machine COM
bination off, as these papers were
persuing the rings methods in
trying to administer a dose of the
same medicine with which the
voters are getting nauseated. We
hope the American will see the
error of it's way after having re-
ceived this solar plexus blow by
letting its readers know that it
will live up to what it stands for
-Democracy-which means "The
people to rule When 1t does
that, together with the other
wabbly sheets in Louisiana, the

In our opinion the time has ar
rived for the assembling of the
State Central Committee for the
purpose Of providing for the
nomination of the State ticket.
The nominations should be made
before the end Of the year, for
the reason that only registered
voters should participate in the
nominations, whether made by
convention or primary, and the
law seems to provide for an en-
tirely new registration in every
year in which "a general State
election is held. It is true that
the Supreme Court held that this
was not required in 1900, but it
seems to be required in 1904. It
has been the custom to make the
nominations in December, and it
is none too early for heCommittee
to meet and provide for the NOM
nations. The game of some of
the politicians is to delay the as
sembling of the Committee as
long as possible, and when it
meets the cry will be that it is
too late to hold a primary. Mr..
Kruttschnitt should assemble the
Committee at onee.-Guardian-

Don't Kill the Birds.

Act No. IS of the Legislature
of 1902 is what is known as the
game law of this State. That act
provides punishment bydne, rang
ing from ten dollars to one hun
dfed, Or imprisonment, for any
person who catches, kills, pursues
or has in ihis,sp.ossession any wild
duck, quail, partridge, plover,
wild turkey, pheasant, prairie
chicken, whip-poor-will, oriole,
blue bird, mocking bird or red
bird. This law also provides the
same punishment for any person
who robs Or destroys the nests or
eggs of any of the above-named
birds.
TIE act permits tie killing killing Of
the chicken hawk, blue hawk,
crow, owl or English sparrow at
any time and the destruction of
their nests and eggs.
1t also permits the killing of
wild turkeys and partridges from
the first day of November till the
first day of April, wild ducks
from the first day of September
to the first day of April, the blue
wing teal duck from the first day
of August to the first day of
April. These birds are priced
for food and are known as game
birds. The purpose of the law is
to protect them from the hunter
only while they are rearing their
young.
As the smaller birds, such as
mocking birds, red birds, whip
poorwills and orioles, it is unlaw-
full to kill them at any season of
the year, except when they prove
destructive TO fruit or grain crops.
These birds feed upon insects and
are therefore useful to the hus-
bandman. The law wisely for
bids their destruction at any sea-
son of the year.,
