Louisiana Politics.

Dent. The Chief expressed the opinion
last week that Mr.. Breazeale would
probably decline 20 enter the lists
for a second trial of strength with
Judge PoVosty, aud there can be no
two opinions as 90 the good judgment
shown by his campaign committee ano
himself in reaching the conclusion that
under the circumstances a graceful
retirement was better than bad stand.
The heavy vote polled by Judge Pro.
vosty ia the first contest rendered his
success in the second almost certain.
Congressman Geo. K. Favrot of the
sixth district has no idea Of emulating
Mr.. Breazeale's example, and has de,
elared that he is not only determined
80 go into a second which
will take place Sept. 29-- but expects

course, it is good politics for him tt.

Legal Proposition, Fairly Stated.

A Legal Proposition, Fairly Stated.
The question as to whether Act No.
1873 of 1894, egulating the selection of
parish printers, was repealed by Act
lS4 of 1908 Or is still in force, is a
simple legal proposition, and it has
been stated and argued in perfectly
fair and dignifed manner by The Chief.
There has not been the slightest intent
or effort on our part to caiole or mis-
lead the members of the police jury or
anyone else, and assumptions to the
contrary are gratuitous and dehors
the record.
Without having attempted to poll
the local bar on the question, we are
confident it's ablest members will agree
with the soundness of the statement
from a lega point Of view that in the
absence from the act of 1908 OF either a
general or special repeating clause
referring to the act of 1894, The latter
stands unaffected BY the later legis
lation.
The act of 1903 specifically declares
that "Act No. of the extra session Of
1881, entitled AN act creating a print.
ing board and defining it's dutiess < <
be and the sine is hereby repealed, =
and there is no other repeating clause
TO be found in the new law.
We reiterate The declaration that
the omission leaves 10 full force and
effect the act of 1894, which makes it
the duty of the police jury to elect a
parish printer, whose compensa alton is
liked by law and who is authorized to
designate the paper which shall do the
parochial printing, and we repeat tn at
the law books TEEN with decisions sup
porting this elementary principle of
legislation.
Uuder this condition we again sum-
mon the police jury to the performance
of what we regard as its plain duty in
the premises; but we can assure the
members that whether they respond to
the summons or not, and whether they
again favor The Chief with the printing
or not, they will never find in It's
columns under its present management
such ridicule, denunciation and in.
temperate criticism of themselves or
their action as some of them and some
of their predecessors have encountered
from other sources.
