With this issue of The Sentinel
we have completed full year Of
6fty-two weeks without missing
an issue and only two or three
delays of a day.
We have increased our paper
from four-page to an eight-page,
We are proud to say that our sub
srribers have, during the year,
been prompt. But a new year IS
on and it is necessary for our
subscribers to forward their
subscriptions if we are to keep up
our present standard.
1t is our intention to make
many improvements in our paper
this year. We want to make it a
necessity in every household in
the Parish. but to do this we must
have your assistance and support.
We wish for all ! happy and
prosperous New Year. May your
articipations in health and pros
perity be more than realized.

STINCINC MESSAGE ON MURDEROUS
WORK OF THE NEGRO SOLDIERS

sault. They have stolidly and as
one man broke their oaths OF
enlistment and refused to help
discover the criminals.
By my direction every effort
was made to persuade those
innocent of murder among them
to separate themselves from the
guilty by helping bring the GRIM
inals to justice. They were
warned that if they cid not take
advantage of the offer they would
all be discharged from the service
and forbidden again to enter
the employ of the government.
They refused to profit by the
warning. l accordingly had
them discharged. If any organ
ization of troops in the service,
white or black, is guilty of SIM
liar conduct in the future | shall
follow precisely the same course.
Under no circumstance will |
consent to keep in the service
bodies of men whom the circum-
stances show to be menace to
the country. Incidentally | may
add that the soldiers of longest
service and highest position who
suffered because of the order, so
far from being those who de-
serve most sympathy. deserve
least, for they are the very men
upon whom we should be able
especially to rely to prevent
mutiny and murder.
People have spoken as If this
discharge from the service was q
punishment, I deny. emphatlcally
that such is the case, because as
punishment it is utterly mad
equate, The punishment meet
for mutineers and murderers
such as those guilty of the
Brownsville assault is death; and
3 punishment only less severe
ought to be melted out to those
who have aided and abetted mu-
nifty and murder and treason by
refusing to belp in their detec-
ton. / would that it were pos
sible for me to have punished
the guilty men. / regret most
keenly that l have not been able
to do so.
Be it remembered always that
these men were all in the service
of the United States under con-
tracts of enlistment, which by
their terms and by statute were
terminable by my direction as
Commander in Chief of the
Army. It was my clear duty to
terminate those contracts when
the public interests demanded it;
and it would have been a betrayal
of the public interest on my part
not to terminate the contracts
which were keeping in the service
of the United States q body of
and murderers.
NO QUESTION OF COLOR.
Any assertion that these men
were dealt with harshiy because
they were colored men is utterly
without foundation. Officers or
enlisted men, white men or col
ored men, who wele guilty of
such conduct, would have been
treated in precisely the same way;
for there can be nothing more
than for the United
States army, in all its member
ship, to understand that its arms
cannot be turned with lmpunlty
against the peace and order of
the civil community.
There are plenty of precedents
for the action taken. I call
your attention to the memoranda
herewith submitted from the
military's Office of the war de-
partment, and q memorandum
from the military secretary en-
closing . piece by ex-CorporaI

In another case the soldier was
convicted of murder, the con-
viction resulting from the fact
every soldier, from the command
ing officer to the humblest prl-
vate, united IN securing all the
evidence in their power about the
crime. In other cases, for less
offense, soldiers were convicted
purely because their comrades In
arms, in a spirit of fine loyalty to
the honor of the service, at once
told the whole story of the
troubles and declined to identify
themselves With the criminals.
During the civil war numerous
precedents for the action taken
by me occurred in the shape of
the summary discharge of regi-
ments or companies because of
misconduct on the part of some
or all of their members. The
SIxtieth Ohio was summarily dis
charged on the ground that the
regiment was disorganized. mu-
tinous and worthless. The
Eleventh New York was dis
charged by reason of general
decentralization and numerous
desertions. Three companies of
the Fifth Missouri cavalry and
one company of the Fourth Mis-
souri, cavalry were mustered out
of the service of the United
States without trial by court
martial by reason of mutinous
conduct and disaffection of the
majority of the members of these
companies Gan almost exact par
allel to my action). Another
Missouri regiment was mustered
out of service because it was In q
state bordering closely on mutt
ny. Other examples, including
New Jersey, Maryland, ond other
organizations, are given in the
inclosed papers.
| call your particular attention
to the special field order of Brig.
Gen. u S. Grant, issued from
the headq uarters of the
Thirteenth army corpse on Nov.
16, 1862, IN reference to the
Twentieth Illinois. Members of
this regiment had broken into
q store and taken goods to the
value Of some $1,24O, and the
rest of the regiment. including
especially two officers, failed, in
the words of Gen. Grant, to
exercise their authority to ferret
out the men guilty of the of
fense.' Gen. Grant accordingly
mustered out of the service of
the United States the two
officers in question, and assessed
the sum of $1,240 against the
said regiment as a whole, officers
and men to be assessed pro rata :
on their pay. In It's essence this
action is precisely similar to that
/ have taken although the offense
was of course trivial compared to
the offense with which I had to
deal.

BLAcKER CRIME NEVER STAINED

Tn short, the evidence proves
conelusively that number OF
the soldiers engaged in a dellber-
ate and concerted attack. as cold
blooded as it was cowardly; the
purpose being to terrorize the
community and to kill or injure
men, women and children In

sible. So much for the original
crime. a blacker never stained
the annals of our army. 1t has
been supplemented by another,
only less black, in the shape of
successful conspiracy of silence
for the purpose of shielding
those who took part in the
original conspiracy of murder.
These soldiers were not school
boys. on a. frolic. They were
fAl-grown men, in the uniform
of the United States army, armed
with deadly weapons, sworn to
uphold the laws of the United
States, and under every obliga-
ton of oath and honor not
merely to refrain from criminal
ity, but with the sturdiest rigor to
hunt down criminality; and the
crime they committed or con-
nived at was murder. They
prevented the power pat into
their hands to sustain the law
into the most deadly violation of
the law. The noncommissioned
officers are primarily respon-
sible for the discipline and good
conduct of the men; they are
appointed to their positions for
the very purpose of preserving
this discipline and good conduct,
and of detecting and securing the
punishment of every enlisted
man who does what is wrong.
They all. with reference to the
discipline, part that the COM
missioned officers are of course
unable to fill, altho the ultimate
responsibility for the discipline
can never be shifted from the
shoulders of the latter. Uunder
any ordinary circumstances the
first duty of the noncommissioned
officers, as of the commissioned
officers, is to train the private in
the ranks so that he may be an
efficient fighting man against q
foreign foe. But there is an
even higher duty, so obvious that
il is not under ordinary circum-
stances necessary so much as to
allude to 1.-THE duty of training
the soldiers SO that he shall be
q protection and not menace to
his peaceful fellow-cltizens, and
above all to the nation. Unless
this duty is we'll performed, the
army becomes a mere dangerous
mob; and if conduct such as that
of the murderers In question is
not, where possible, punished.
and, where this is not possible.
unless the chance of its repetition
is guarded against in the most
thorogoing fashion, it would be
better that the entire army
should be dishanded. 1t is vital
for the army to be imbued with
the spirit which will make every
man in it, and above all, the
officers and noncommissloned
officers, feel it a matter of highest
obligation TO discover and pun
ish, aud not to shield, the GRIM
inal in uniform.

our journalistic career. which
dates back to 1883. to portray the
great advantages Winn parish has
in such manner as to induce i'm
migration and capitalize develop
the wonderful resources within
our borders. With the advent of
the new year. and as long as we
are engaged in newspaper work,
il will be our aim and pleasure
to continue to do so. The re-
sources of this parish are without
limit in almost any line that one
could name.
First-as to agriculture: A
very wrong impression has gone
forth as to the fertility of the
lands. but now we have corps Of
engineers and chemists making
soil survey of the lands of the
parish. We have convcrsed with
these gentlemen and find what We
have always known both from ex-
perience and observation, that we
have as fine agricultural lands as
any in the south, susceptible of
producing all kinds of crops.
Second: Stock raising can be
probably Carried on here as in
any country. We have pasture
lands on which crops ofnutritious
forage grow the entire year for
horses and cattle and as for hogs,
they thrive here with practically
no care, the masts of the forests
furnishing food for them.
Third: Our timber has already
4 notable standing in the lumber
world. We have all classes of
pine and some of the finest cy-
press,in the world, and our hard
woods are almost as limitless as
our pine; and whea the timber is
taken of the lands will make fine
agricultural. fruit and grazing
lands.
Fourth: Fruits of all classes
can be profitably raised on these
lands. We had during the year
1906 IS fine peaches. strawberries,
pears and melons IS could be
raised il any country.
Fifth: The rock and stone
which abound in localities can be
utilized for building and we have
an unlimited quantity of lime
rock which has been tested and
makes the finest Of lime. There
is enough rock At one of these To-
calities to furnish lime to the
whole United States if it could be
transported. We also have all
kinds of the finest Of clays and
experts have informed us that
with our rock and clay we could
produce as fine cement as any
imported article.
Sixth: We have in q number
of places IN the parish. what IS
known IS salt lands, where the salt
water comes almost to the sur

owing primarily to the fact that
when the valley was opened for
settlement. about six years ago, the
original owners of the land ran a
clause IN all their deeds forbidding
the manufacture and sale of LIQUOR
on any and all property sold.
Thus prohibitory law of the most
lronclad kind has been fastened on
the country. The natural result
has been that the valley has been
remarkably free from the evil ele-
ments that too often dominate
frontier communities, and crime of
all kinds, and especially crimes of
violence, have been exceedingly
rare. On the other hand the condi-
ton named has attracted a temper

settlers, who have placed emphasis
upon the building up of schools,

ments rather than upon agencies
