The .Thibodaux Commercial
Journal says: "The Police Jury
Of Ascension has been warned by
the District Attorney to 60 slow
in the matter of granting licenses
to parties when it was known thu
it was for the purpose of establish
ing in business unnafhralized
foreigners. The District Attorney
contends that the issuance of a
license to one for the use of a third
party who is disqualified ia con-
trary to the letter and spirit of the
law. In other words it is beating
the devil around the stump, at
tempting to do indirectly what
the law prohibits directly. II this
be adopted another law
be enacted making such
parties amenable to punishment
by fine and Imprisonment, both
the party allowing the use of his
name and the party who secured
Dr solicited the use of his name."

Bench: and the ermine is laid down
by him as spotless as when he receiv-
ed it.
''He has presided impartially, and
enforced in this community respect

He has shown a quickness in
grasping legal problems. and a sound

been characterized by uprightness.

the law, absolute honesty and splendid
eloquence.
He has been deeply imbued with
the ideals and traditions OF the pro-

The grand jury of the parish
of Natchitoches now comes with a
report that the State Normal
School is a magnificent institu-
ton, running nicely and inferen-
TALLY needing no assistance or
improvements whatever. All this
is quite contrary to what was de-
veloped in the recent controversy
between the late Superintendent
and Governor Sanders, in the
course of which some things were
conclusively shown to have been
highly unsatisfactory. Between
this grand jury report and the re-
cent press reports there is a wide
enough discrepancy to make one
stare.

The great need of an efficient
State accountant was never more
plainly demonstrated than the
case of the recent State Normal
School targle. In this matter
State Accountant A. NJ. Smith
demonstrated an efficiency, ability
and promptness which prove him
to be the right man in the right
place. Had it not been for such a
functuAry-and one possessing
the requisite qualifications, as
abundantly proven-the people
would perhaps not yet know the
true situation concerning the
State Normal. The greater the
service made of Mr.. Smith
and his department in the
various public Institutions of the
State, the greater will be the pop
ularity of Governor Sanders and
his administration with the peo-
pie.

letter recently declaring that it
was improper for an American
citizen to inquire into the religious
leanings of a candidate for the

The last session of the Sixtieth
Congress is now sitting in Wash
ington. It will adjourn in three
months. simultaneously with the
end of President Roosevelt's adj
ministration. It may be predict
ed with much certainty that there
will be little or no new legislation
at this session. For three or four
weeks the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the lower house has
been listening to rhetoric on tariff
revision, but no bill will be res
ported at this session. Mr.. Taft
is expected to call a special session
after March the fourth and it is
presumably for use at this session
that t is useless rubbish before
the Committee on Ways and
Means is heard aud recorded.

A Christmas Greeting.

Before another issue Of the
BANNER will appear the Christ
mas festival will have passed.
and we therefore take occasion
to send special greetings Of good
will to al, our friends. This is
THO season of good cheer, the sea-
Srn Of the holly and mistletoe-
he time for bright faces and gem
erous impulses-for gladstone
greetings-a time for noble re-
solves 70 be born-a time for old
animosities to die-a time when
the benevolent side Of ones na-
ture should eclipse the sordld
side--a time when the thoughts
should be turned towards home
a time when the usurping chains
of business should be ignored. A
time when the child with its gol-
den curls, the man with his silvered
locks, alike cry "Glory to God
in the highest. peace on earth,
good will to men" These words
have been chanted by all Christian
nations since the infant Jesus
II pt in the rude manger in Beth
lehem.
We sincerely wish that the old
year which. is now fast approach
ing the merry Christmas time,
there to lingrr for awhile with the
people in their joyous celebration,
then to die and pass into history,
has been beneficent to all the
patrons of the BANNER, and
throughout all its days has
brought peace and happiness,
prosperity and plenty to every
,1Ome.

A very sad accident occurred on
last Tuesday evening, when little
William Anderson was thrown
from his horse, his foot being
caught in the stirrup, and was
dragged several blocks, and when
picked up was found to be insen-
sible and his little body horribly
mangled. He was taken to the
Sanitarium where he had the ten
derest care and attention until
death came early Thursday morn
ing to relieve the little sufferer of
pain, and his spirit was taken to
it's eternal home. The funeral
services were conducted from the
residence of his uncle, Mr.. Jacob
Anderson, on Thursday evening
at 8 o'clock, Revs. r. w. Vaughan
and Rowland Hale officiating.
William was the eleven year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jens
Anderson, to whom the BANNER
extends. sincere coincidence in
their extreme sorrow.

The demand that skins of ami
mails or hides as they are called,
shall be placed upon the free list
has been so urgently pushed at
recent tariff hearings that there is
hope that the tariff on them may
at least be reduced. With free
hides, shoe and leather manufac-
turers it is thought will concede
the abolition of nuties on all
leather products. It is not the
farmer or the cattle king who
benefits by q high tariff on hides.
The beef trust alone is the bene-
ficiary.

the fact that the next president

Y. M. C. A. OPENS NEW TERM
FOR PROSPECTIVE MOTORISTS

A new term Of the automobile school
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton was opened last evening at 952
South Broadway. The course will be
the same as that just completed, cover
ing nine weeks. Since the school
opened last November six different
classes have taken the course, four in
the evening and two in the afternoon.
over 100 men have been registered. 1t
is the policy of the association to keep
small classes in order to allow each
student to secure the greatest benefit
from the demonstrations.
Owners of machines, prospective pur-
chasers, as well as young men qualify
ing for positions as drivers or garage
employees are among the students. In
the lecture and demonstration course
they are given instruction in the con-
struction and care of gasoline auto
mobiles, spending several evenings in
learning to locate and correct troubles
in an engine operated by the students.
At the close of the course those who
wish driving lessons are taken out on
the road with Instructor N. E. Brown
and are given an opportunity to avoid
curbstones and telephone poles.
