lowing the sale of Intoxicating
drinks? Is the home and soul to
be bought with such money? Is
manhood and womanhood to be
purchased from the money made
from a license on whiskey? It
seems all right when it is some
one else's boy or girl that has
fallen, but what if it is yours?
[ know of a man in Baton
Rouge sixteen years ago that
had nothing but misery in his
home. He took all he made and
paid the drink bill. His wife
was unhappy and the children
were sad. -Four years later the
husband resolved to do better
and with help succeeded in rid
ding himself of the drink habit.
AS result to-day this man is
worth $2500.00 in money or it's
equivalent and the renewed con-
fidence of a loving wife and
children.
The home is now happy and
prosperity reigns. How many
families are in the same condition
as this one was sixteen years
ago? The answer is, many. The
question is can we afford to sell
the manhood and womanhood of
our country to help educate their
intellect. The answer comes
back from a loving father, No.
Voter be sure you consider the
question of prohibition before
you cast your vote.

Because we want to save our
boys and girls from a life of
wreck and ruin caused from the
effect of liquor. They are worth
more thanall liquor license in
the world. And when we
think of that; we don't see why
any man is not in favor of prohi-
bition.
Mortgage life to pay taxes, P"
Upon what does the liquor traffic
depend? Upon debased man
hood, wronged womanhood, and
defrauded children, It holds a
mortgage over the cradle, a
deed is written in heart blood
over every human life.
It is said if you will let liquor
alone, liquor will let you alone
But this is not true, ask the inno-
cent mothers, wives, sons, and
daughters, who never touched
liquor and read the sad chapter
in their lives, then say let it alone,
but did it let them alone?
Does prohibition prohibit? No
say some, in closing the saloons
we get blind tigers" But pro-
hibitiOn is not to blame for the
existence of blind tigers. There
is law to prohibit blind tigers,
and the sentiment of a commu-
nifty should be as intelligent and
strong in enforcing prohibition
Of the sale of liquors as for the
enforcement of any other law,
Then again why let it alone,
when we know that the very ma
ture of alcohol is to unbalance
mems minds, and leads to, the
committing of crimes and to
mems spiritual degradation. The
traffic can never be regulated so
as to prevent'harm.
Then speed the day
When men will vote as we pray,
For the right against the wrong,
For the weak against the strong,
For the poor who'ye waited long,
For the brighter age to be,
For the truth against superstition,
For the faith against tradition,
For the hope whose glad fruition,
Our waiting eyes shall see. "

Pep0rt of Grand Jury.

To the honorable, the Judge Of
the 24th Judicial District Court:
We, the Grand Jury, beg to
submit this our final report:
We have made diligent investi-
cation of all matters submitted
to us and our daily findings in
criminal violations of the law,
have been duly reported.
We have examined forty-one
cases and found twenty-one
true bills" and twenty mo true
bills" We have made a thor
ough inspection of the Court
House and Parish Jail. We
found the Jail premises in as
good condition as the facilities
of the building will permit.
We recommend that the holes
in the floor of the cage be re-
paired and that the sanitary
closet should have a top.
We found the Court House in
great need of repair. The build
ing leaks badly, the dome and
railing around it should be re-
paired and reprinted; the floors
in the Sheriff's and Clerk offices
are in bad shape and work on
them should no longer be delayed.
We suggest that q public
watering trough be provided on
the outside of the Court House
square, so as to provide drink
ing water for stock, etc. We
further suggest that the grass
in the court yard be kept NOW
ed:
We recommend that the road
oyerseers have their various
roads worked throughout the
parish at al early date, as the
roads in some places are danger
Gus and practically impossible.
It is the sense of the farmers
and planters that the present
terms of court are injurious to
their interests, and the loss of
time in attendance upon court
at the April term cannot be re-
covered ana the loss sustained
during the October term, which
is harvesting s%son, is irrepar-
able, and we, tina Grand Jury,
ask the Court to hage the terms
changed from April AID October
to February and August.
Respectfully submitted,
