Are You Qualified?

Under the new law no one except
qualified electors can be candidates
for Office; qualified elector, as
our readers know, Is one who is
quilted 10 vote--that is, who is
registered and holds his poll tax
receipts for two consecutive years
prior to the time Offering to vote.
One can have paid thepD!l Tux any
where in the State, but must Eave
resided in the State wo years and
parish one year before offering to
vote. If a person has actually
lived and paid his poll tax in a
parish for one year, some lawyers
assert that, according to the law,
he is a legal resident OF that parish,
and if he moves to another parish,
must live in the parish one year
before he becomes a bonitide resi-
dent, eligable to hold Office in the
last parish. However that may
be, It is certain no person can
hold Office who Is not duly quail
fed elector. This applies to all
alike from the ward constable to
governor.

About Judicial Officers


Several North Louisiana par
ishes, which have fixed the date
for nominating parish officers, have
also arranged for the nomination
of judicial officers on the same date
Notwithstanding the law provides
for the nomination OF judges and
district attorneys in November fol-
lowing the general State election,
seven months afterwards, and III
this connection the Guardian Jour-
nal calls attention to the fact that
this action primarily defeats the
very purpose for which the judi
cial election was set aside from the
general elections-to remove the
courts from political influences.
Furthermore. the Legislature will
hold session in the lneantime, at
which q change IN the judicial dis
tricts might be effected, giving
rise 10 no end of trouble and legal
controversy.

disease, and especially so in large

daily passed from hand to hand and
house to house where the germs of
disease may Turk, and it is plain to
any thinking mind that the old
fashioned milk ticket is medium
for the spread of contaeion which,
for public safety, should be at once
abolished. A law should be passed
requiring the adoption of ticket
or coupon which should come fresh
from the printing press, and then

Dairy Commissioner Makes Some
Excellent Recommendations.

Excellent Recommendations.
Dairy Commissioner Mcdonnell
his issued his biennial report to tn
legislature. 1t covers an elaborate
volume of 400 pages covering il
detail all the work Of the depart
lnent for tho past two years.
At the close of the year 1902, says
the commissioner, there were 500,
900 COWS in Minnesota, Of which
number 1892, 1856 contribute milk to
the creameries, the product of which
places over $14, 600, 900 in circulation
annually. There are 800 creameries
and cheese factories in the state and
their output is 20 per cent larger
than in any previous period Of the
states history.
In 1900 the value of creamery
butter was less than $50, 900, 900 as
against s14, 100000, in 1902. These
creameries ship $4,000, ZOO pounds
a year out of the state.
During the two years ending Dec.
IS, 1902, the state chemist analysed
1919 samples of food, spices, etc.
of which $3.50 we're pure and 3, 400
a dulterated. Tie greatest per cent
of adulteration was in baking
powder, butter and vinegar; 116
samples of baking powder out of
lot of 1853, 1856 of butter out of 200
and 1917 of vinegar out of 2,977
being adulterated. Out of 159
samples of whisky analysed fr1sel
oil was found in III samples. The
chemist present a lengthy report on
whisky and it's authorizations.
For the years 1901 and 1902 the
department prosecuted 1876 cases
against violators of the food was
and only four cases failed of being
sustained. Fines amounting to So
325 were collected.
One unusual idea is advocated.

John Swanson Arrested for esa|
Fishing.
Friday morning before daylight,
Sheriff Fauskee and night policeman
Roshon drove to Ocehydan Lake to
look after illegal fishing. After
waiting there under cover a short
time they saw men come to the lake
and one go out in boat and draw
up q net. Mr.. Fauskee then ap.
preached the man on shore, Peter
.Ha wilkinson who was waiting for the
man III the boat to come in to shore.
He was called in and turned out to
be John Swanson, commonly called
't'peg leg because of bis wooden leg.
The net, fish and Mr.. Swanson were
brought to town and the Game
Warden informed of the circum-
stances.
Mr.. Swanson resides in Rushmore
and came over here Wednesday to
visit old friends. He worked for
Mr.. Hawkinson for a number of
years some time ago and went there
to visit, Thursday.
He does not know who set the
nets. It is rather, unfortunate for
him that he happened over there
at this time. There were about
twenty or more fish in the net, bull
heads, suckers and sunfish. It is
stated that fish have been seined out
&of there right along and Sold.
,Later-Mr. Fullerton, state game
warden, instructed the sheriff to
proceed with the case according to
law. Swanson was taken before
Justice Dow and fined $25 or thirty
days in the county Jail, the latter
being accepted.
It develops that local chapter of
the League Of American Sportsmen
has been organized here, the local
organization numbering twenty five
members and others about to join,
have taken hold of the illegal killing
of game. Notice of fish being caught
by net coming to their notice they
took the matter up and the State
Game Warden instructed the sheriff
to make the arrests. Mr.. Fauskee,
as on all occasions sufferd no delay
to take place and that same night
performed his duty we'll as will be
seen by the above result. Mr..
Fauskee has the local organization to
him in this work therefore
does not stand alone. Parties catch
ing fish in this manner have been
warned. The law further provides
that a person buying and selling
these fish are liable to fine from
twenty five to one hundred dollars
BIS we'll as the one catching them.
The sportsmen organization is
to act on any information
given them that unlawful killing of |
game is being done. Their organi-
zation covers the entire United
States and in this way the game is
bound to be protected, as every in
lividual member is determined to
zoe that it is done.
Sheriff Fauskee was instructed
10 sell the fish and remit the pro-
Feeds to the state officers. It is
loped that this case will be lesson
% others. The fish were sold to
'imoni for eighty cents and the net
ent to the state game warden.
