The Appellate Court Amendment.

From the Louisiana Democrat.
In our opinion, there several tangible reasons
why it should not be adopted. The first is,
that its adoption will increase in the of S24 900
the judicial expenses of the State, already more
than 500, 900 in excess of those of Mississippi
Alabama and Tennessee without any corresponding
benefit or advantage to litigants.
If the people of Louisiana desire to increse the
already extremely burdensome expense of main
tanning the Judiciary, they will ratify this amend
ment, absolutely without merit but if, on the con-
trary it is their wish 50 interpret it, to reduce
the cost of administering justice they will place the
brand of condemnation upon it on the ides of No
yember.

The School Bond Issue,

Mer Rouge Democrat: Better school houses and
the consequent impetus given to education will at
tract immigration, enhance the value Of property
and increase the of the State far exceeding
the small amount of interest paid on the bouds.-
The amendment should have the earnest support of
every citizen who has at heart the cause of public
education.
Claiborne Guardian-Journal: 1t seems to us that
the objections urged against this amendment are
untenable. The State needs better school houses.
There is no better way to get them than to adopt the
81 900 bond amendment. No plan could be
suggested to which objections of some kind could
not be urged. We think the amendment should be
ratified and we believe it will be. We cannot afford
to rejectit.

department to day received a letter from
George ]. Mueller of $40 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., expressing his appreciation of the eff
forts of the fire department in the efficient
manner in which the fire in the rear of 1913
Pennsylvania avenue was extinguished the
18th of September. The text of the letter
from Mr.. Mueller to Chief Belt is as fol-
lows:
Il wish to convey my thanks and esteem
to you and your department for the con-
summate skill and promptness displayed in
extlnguishing the fire, which, unfortunately
visited the adjacent building When l con-
slider the damage wrought therein and the
fact that we suffered loss whatever in
spite of our large light-well being exposed
to the blaze, l feel that no one at present
can better appreciate than l can the eff
cheney of your department and how we'll
yc ur men deserve all, even more compensa-
ton than they now receive.
THE police department also deserves the
same commentator for the order that was
preserved throughout"
