Grandstand Knocks.
Last week 1 lac q few words to say
to a handful of thoughtless chaps in the
bleachers who forget themselves now
and then. and when the team Is lag
cling behind the visitors commence
handing out knocks to our players. |
take off my straw chip to the bleachers
from now on, for / cannot hear a SOUND
of a knock. That's right, you good old
pals; let us all do this and we will win
But yesterday I was almost knocked
out of the press box when | heard
voices in the grand-stand hollering

the schoolboys' league had been occupy
ing the grand-stand I would have
laughed at that. But when common
sene men forget that the game is made
I'D of hits, runs and errors, and become
personal because a player makes a bum
heave or drops a fly, then 1t is time
to sit up and call for a physician.

know a fish man in Centre Market who

a mistake, but he didn't do 1t wilfully.
Suppose the other men in the market

strong mind he would move away or

To the President and Members
of the School Board of the Par
ish of West Feliciana:
DEAR SIRs::-I wish to state
that a,nder a decision recently
rendered by the Supreme Court
of Louisiana, in the suit entitled
State Elk Rel. Broussard VS..
Sheriff" the matter of whether
or not the District Attorneys of
Louisiana were entitled to de-
maid and receive a certain per
cent Of fines collected during
their terms of Office, the Circuit
Court of Appeals and District
Court were reversed on this
point, the Supreme Court hold
ing that the section of the Revis-
ed Statutes allowing District At
torneys the percentage on each
fine collected, was repealed by
implication, though not in ex-
press terms.
While it is my opinion that this
decision does not affect District
Attorneys whose terms expired
prior to the year 1905, and that
as my term as District Attorney
expired prior to said year, that
therefore there is no legal obliga-
tion whatever upon my part to
return percentage of fines re
ceived by me- while I was Dis
trict Attorney, especially as the
law clearly specified that the Dis
trict Attorney had a right to
same and both the District Court
and Circuit Court of Appeals SO
held; still I feel that there is a
moral obligation on my part to
return the sums which l now
consider to have been erroneous
ly collected from the Sheriff
while | was District Attorney,
out of the fines collected; and as
the fines go to the School Board,

[ take it that the return of the
percentage of same should be
paid to the School Boards of this
Parish and of East Feliciana, &C.
cording to the amount collected
each.
| therefore wish voluntarily to
tender to your honorable Board
the amount so enormously col

quest that your Board do appoint

may examine the Sheriff's books

whatsoever, on my part, Tor on
the part of any of the hundred or
more district attorney of Louisi-
ana, who have filled those posi-
tons since the year 1880, all of
whom also enormously collected
these sums, to repay the same.
But [ am sure there is a moral
obligation to do so, and as it is
for the worthy cause of public
education that these sums will
go, [ feel in honor bound to re-
pay the sums enormously re-
ceived by me as above described.
