Judge Phillip S. Pugh, of Lafa-

the Grand Jury of his parish as

The man for police juror of his
ward. in this day and time, should
be sought by the people and
elected by them on account OF
his sound qualifications as a
substantial and successful citizen
and business man. Whatever
may be his trade or profession,
he should be a public spirited
citizen with all, capable of carry
ing conservative public spirited
ness into his work and of giving
the best results to his cOnstitu-
ents.-Arcadia Argus.

The police jurors are the men
who spend the taxpayers money.
They are the men to whom the
duty of reviewing assessments
is intrusted. They build our
roads and bridges. They are
empowered to appropriate money
for the support of the schools
and for other public purposes.
They control the finances of. the
parish, and upon their business
ability depends in large measure
the rate of parish taxation. For
this Office the wisest, cleanest
and most level-headed men
should be selected. They
should be good business men and
they should be men who seek
the Office from a sense of public
for there is nothing in the
Office for the conscientious man
but the. consciousness of duty
we'll done. No politician should
ever be elected to this office. No
man with an ak to grind should
ever be elected Sig
nal.

It's gratifying to note that
there is a tendency. on the part
of the State press to urge the
necessity of a more careful selec-
ton of the men who compose our
parish government-the police
jury. This Office has always
heretofore been looked upon as
one of minor Importance, and
for that reason many instances
can be cited where it has been
impossible to get good men to
make the race for it. The filing
of no Office in the parish is of
greater Importance to the people
as a whole, and it is to be hoped
that the coming primary will
demonstrate that the voters of
Calcasieu are beginning to real
ize this fact.-Lake Charles

houses IN November. but not fumigated
and inspected for root diseases, have
been fumigated and partly sorted. and
some of them inspected in the month

to be diseased or otherwise failed to
come up to the standard, and were con-
dcmned, thrown out and burned. There
are now about $4,000 trees in winter
storage that have not been fumigated,
and a large portion not inspected.
-Four parcels of trees arrived from
outside the State, and were attended to.
Trees are daily dug up in nurseries and
stored away, when the weather and
circumstances permit.
This is respectfully submitted as my
report for December

NEWTON STILL IN JAIL

to Secure Bail


With the consent of Sheriff Emery
Attorney Newton went from the coun-
ty Jail Tuesday and took dinner with
his family. Friends Of Mr.. Newton
consider that il was in the nature of
an outrage to arrest him at the un-
seemly hour of o'clock New Year s.
morning and hold him in custody dur
ing the holiday, when it was practical
" impossible to secure the large bail
which is required by the District At
torney Newton returned to the iail
after his dinner at home, having de
cided To wait until today before making
an effort TO get bail.
There are many rumors floating
around regarding this strange case. One
is 10 tine effect that the County Attor-
ney has arranged TO use the unknown
negress, who, il is said, stole the $500
check from Peter Olson. and the man
Sears. who is alleged to have cashed
it, for the purpose of making out
case against the lawyer Disinterested
persons, who are unable to see how
Newton can be in any way criminally
connected with the crime, If, indeed,
crime has been committed. declare that
this purpose of Mr.. Christensen can
have nothing but personal hatred for
its motive
Soren X Christensen and, possibly,
A. j, Webber will be retained to look
after the interests Of Mr.. Newton and
every effort will be made TO get a
speedy hearing of the case.
