Why is it necessary to start an
agitation as to what Mr.. Sanders
will do once he is installed as gov
ernor? He has pledged himself
to do certain things, or to see
certain things accomplished, and
why question whether or not ne
will see his promises carried out?
Has he shown any disposition
since the primary which nominat-
ed him to weaken in any way? If
not it would be well, it seems, to
permit such questionings to rem in
in the background, unless there is
some good reason for bringing
them to the front, and that ground
has not appeared nor is it likely
to appear.-Lake Charles Press.

Labor lost long drawn out
fight in a decision of the Supreme
Court recently. 1t was a case
that dates clear back to the Chic.
ago railroad troubles of 1898. The
case was that of William Adair
master mechanic of the Louisville
and Nashville road who had
threatened to discharge an engi.
neer because he belonged to q
labor Union. This was in contra.
vention of the Erdmann Act that
prohibited railroads engaged in
interstate commerce from dis
charging employees because they
belonged to labor unions. The
Supreme Court holds that the law
is unconstitutional. Justice Har-
Ian delivered the opinion and
said that so long as there was no
contract and no time limit set to
the employment of the man, Con.
gress had no more right to pass .
law preventing his discharge than
it had to pass a law preventing
him from quitting his employ.
ment. 1t was a rule the court said
that would have to work both
ways. If there is a contract be.
tween the employer and the en-
ployee, it must be respected by
both of them. But when there is
no contract, there is nothing to
prevent the railroad from dis.
charging him without giving any
reason for the act. Justice Harlan
said if he right of Congress TO
pass such law were allowed,
there would be nothing to prevent
Congress passing law making 1t
a crime for the railroads to EN-
ploy any but Union men and this
would be absurd on the face of it.
Justice McKenna and Justice
Holmes dissented from this opin.
ion. Justice McKenna saying
that the decision of the court was
along very narrow lines. Justice
Holmes said that the right 20
make contracts had been stretch.
ed to the limit by the decision and
intimated that Congress had the
right to legislate so as to encour'
age the formation of labor unions.

no right to lease the ferry under its
charter or Act POP of 1902, or Act IL
of 1906, and failing in this. the Police
Jury under the general law has the
exclusive right to lease the ferry.
The town of Berwick was organized
under Act l.i6 OF 1898 and it has no
greater rights than was given to 1t by
that Act. and tie only reference to
ferries in that Act is made in Sec. b.,
which permits towns to charge Ii
cense for using the wharf OF the town.
1t is evident then that the town of Der
wick has no greater right over the
ferry than Morgan city, because
Morgan City is at one terminus and
Berwick at the other Of the ferry. does
not give them together the control OF
the ferry This is so far the reason
that their power ana authority does
not extend beyond their territorial
limits. and those limits stop rcspec-
lively at the east and west margin OF
Berwick's Bay. which bay under the
general Grant of authority has always
been under the control Of the Police
Jury and of which it has never been
divested by any special grant to Nor
gan City or Berwick. A public ferlA
is part of the public highway and is
as much under the control Of the l'o-
lice Jury as ANY other part OF 1t. 1t
is not only within the power OF the
Police Jury H. establish and main
tain ferries as ii part OF the highway
but it is their Guty to do so for the
convenience and accommodation OF
the public.
For these reason We are Of the
opinion that The Police Jury has the
exclusive right to lease the public
ferry across Berwick's Bay.
Respectfully submitted.

1t is so easy to criticize things about
which the critic knows nothing.
Take, for instance, Peruna. There are
plenty of people who are willing to say
Peruna is this and that, who never have
tasted Peruna, and have never known
anything about its effects upon the
human system.
There are people who say, and proba-

beverage by some people. 1t would
be the easiest thing in the world to show
the falsity of such belief.
