other addresses In other parts of the

In the outset the speaker denied
his opponents charge that he was Oh.
posed to Legislation bringing public
service corporations and utilities un-
der the supervision of the State Cor
poration Commission and stated that
he had been in favor of such legisla-
ton and would use every energy TO
bring 1t about. Mr.. Holt said that
he had been opposed to the bills to

stood that the bill was aimed Mt the

not propose to do anything against

only mainstny.
In reply to his opponents charge
that he had voted to take the election
OF the commissioner OF the revenue

correct, but that he had been asked
to vote for the measure by many of
his constituents while those opposed
to the appointment OF the commits
sioner by the Judge Of the Corpora.
ton Court had not asked him to vote
against the measure. He said that
IT the people desired 1t he would use
every effort to have the measure re-
pealed.
Replying to the charge that he had
voted against appropriations for car
Ing for graves of Confederate soldiers
the Senator said that the sums asked
for had heen so small that the senate
paid little attention to them. and de.
clared that a Senator who was
Confederate vetera/ voted against the
appropriations. Further he stated hs

working as mechanics. but that he
favored their working on the public
highways.

Fifth Judicial District in and for the Parish
Of Winn:
We, your Grand Jury. in ses-

able Court, and having completed
our lAbors for the term, beg leave
to submit the following report:
FIRST: We have examined into
all the violations of the criminal
statutes that have been brought
TO our knowledge, or that we have
been able to unearth by most
rigid examination of witnesses or
any other means available TO US.
We have used every effort in our
power to secure the attendance of
witnesses aud in practically all
the cases have succeeded, but in
some instances, we are sorry to
say, witnesses have left the par
ish, presumably to US to evade a
summons to appear before the
Grand Jury. We have examined
In all 1C4 cases and out of that
number we have fonnd "a bills,

and returns herewith.
Second: We have examined

and find them ON the whole in
reasonably good condition. The
exposed wood work of our Court
House has recently been re-
painted and the inner walls have
been calsomined. From appear
xnces this work does not seem to

of whiskey, whether sold legally
or illegally, is responsible for
more crime, murders, poverty,
wretehedness, more premature
deaths, wrecked lives, more in
mates in jalls, penitentiaries,
aims houses and mad houses than
all other things together. Every
whiskey peddler and confirmed
gambler in the country stands
with the dagger of death raised
high in his hand. anxlously
waiting for the psychological
moment to arrive when he can
drive it home to the hilt into the
body of his unsuspecting victim.
Assassination, rape, murder
aud whiskey peddlers are synony-
nous terms. May the God of
the universe awaken the latent
energies of the honest. the true,
and the conscientious citizens of
the country to the fearless realI-
zation of the fateful conditions
that have them encompassed
about. and may they come to the
assistance of the Courts, as we
believe they will. and with the
unanimIty of one strong man,
fearlessly invoke upou all vio-
Iators of the law, and especially
upon the wIlfully, malicious, as
all bootleggers are, such terrible
penalties that the majesty Of the
law will be upheld, the country
rid of professional and confirmed
criminals, and the atmosphere so
purified that no moral leper can
exist therein.
To these ends, individually, we
pledge ourselves and call upon
Others to do likewise, to employ
all the honorable means that We
can lay our hands on until the
fond hope of such standards can
be realized.
We will be glad for a copy of
this report to be furnished to the
Police Jury and each of the
papers published in the parish.
Respectfully submitted,
