THE SACREDNESS OF THE
BALLOT.

Newspapers fail TO realize sometimes
that in assuming that the peoples stand
ard of morality is low, they are actually
helping ia make it low. We commend
this thought as a warning to our good
brother of the Abbeville Meriodinal,
who expresses the fear that Judge Law
rason's regard for the inviolability of
the ballot. will not appeal to certain
parishes. You can never make child
good by telling him he is hopelessly bad,
and men and voters are but grown-,ip
children. True Democrat.
The newspaper which is moral and
fair and honest will never by insinua-
ton or by implication disparage the
"inviolability of the ballot" As stated
by the True Democrat, the newspapers
which fail to realize that in assuming
that the peoples standard is morally
low are actually helping to make it low.
The duty of the newspaper which is
honest and fearless is to assist in elevat-
ing the morals of the people. Forum
ately, the people, as body, is honest
The few of the people who transgress
the inviolability of the ballot are encour-
aged to this crime by politicians and OF
fee seekers having no scruples of right
or wrong, so they reach the goal OF
their ambition The attitude of Judge
Iawrason on the inviolability of the
ballot is endorsed by every one opposed
to rascality, swindling and thievery.
There can be no greater crime than to
disregard the "inviolability of the. bal
lot" II will be conceded that this of
Tense was condoned during the days OF
Radicalism when it was necessary to
fight the devil with his own fire, but
nader the conditions which prevail in
Louisiana today this crime must not
only be condemned vigorously, but ev-
cry individual of high or low degree
who cofinives at or assists in or who is
guilty. should be imprisoned and divest-
ed Of citizenship as the law directs,
The burglar bold who enters prem
Uses is entitled to more respect and con-
sideration than the ballot thief or the
ballot box suffer or the scoundrel who
will alter or change the result of an
election, especially when the crime is
directed to the swinding and the de-
frauding of one of the same party.
II is not possible to credit the state
fnent that Judge Lawrason's regard for
the inviolability Of the ballot will not
appeal to certain parishes. Indeed.
Judge Lawrason's patriotic attitude
must win for him the endorsement Of
every citizen who favors honest cleo
tons. Louisiana needs today more men
in active public service of the type Of
Judge Lawrason.

PRACTICAL EDITORS AND

The Editor and Publisher says: Hen
~ ]. Allen, editor and publisher of the
Parsons (Kan.) Daily Sun. saw pho
tograph of ex-senator J. Ralph Burton
seated to handsome desk, debating
editorials to stenographer, and the
sight off the picture impelled him to
write: This diletante editorial writing
won't do A real editor does not sit at
beautiful desk, and he does not have
stenographer. He sits at a coarse
looking table with pad of copy paper
on one corner and paste pot on the
other. When the photographer comes
IN to take picture of the editor, the
real editor has to go home and change
his clothes before he can be put into
. work OF art. When newspaper man
has progressed far enough to have a
beautiful desk and a stenographer, he no
longer has to write pieces. The SEN
ator has begun at the wrong end.
The practical editor is man who is
always ready for any emergency or con-
tingency, who can write a calmun of
two or three liners and editorials on any
subject without reference to Webster
Unabridged, an encyclopedia, STEM
ographer or desk. The practical ed
itor is man who can sit or stand any
where and grind out yards of readable
and entertaining matter without inspira-
ton or suggestion. And the practical
editors picture is rarely, if ever, seen
in print. H. is noted for his modesty
