PERSONAL MENTION.

Mrs Julia Rule left a week ago on a
visit of some length to relatives in Tex
as, later she will go to the mountains of
Tennessee. This leave of absence from
work is well earned rest for one whom
we all know and admire as tireless,
conscientious worker. And it will seem
strange not to find Pansy's interesting
page in Shreveport paper, SO far back
does her connection with newspaper
work begin, at least twenty years ago.
Indeed. she can claim the credit of be-
ing the first society editress in North
Louisiana, beginning her work in that
line with the Shreveport Times. In
1900. or about then, she established the
Elite. weekly journal devoted to
social and literary news. Later she be-
came connected with the Shreveport
Journal and has given every day for
several years fresh newsy page to the
public. Mrs. Rule is we'll known in
work throughout the State,

WHATS THE USE7"

vi what use are courts and the law
If when an individual is fairly convicted
of a crime or some msde1neanor he is
liberated from JAIL the public road or
the penitentary?
1t is a false sentiment, a misapplied
sympathy which dictates the efforts at
an annuilment of a decree which is
merlted by a transgressor of the law
There are cases and instances when
the fullest measure of clernency can be
exercised judicially, but such cases are
not of the class who are deliberate in
their violation OF the law.
1t is stated with some degree of au-
thority that there is being circulated for
signatures petitions through which it
sought the liberation OF individuals who
arc serving time and who have been as
signed to jail and to road duty for in
fraction of the prohibition law.
These appeals to the Board of
Pardons for clenency are becoming so
COMMON as to provoke contempt Meth
er law nor justice are playthings, nor is
1t in the province of the Governor or
the Board of Pardons to become the in
texmediaries between justice well merit
ed and meted out to the individual who
has been fairly assigned to pay the pen
atty for his misdoings
Cemency and mercy, as charity mis-
directed, become an abuse of good will
and merciful intention.
1t may be declared as fact, without
any apprehension of a contradiction,
that every violator of the prohibition
LAW has been deliberate, and in legal
phraseology with malice aforethought."
1t is almost impossible to convict. and
It is only occasionally that the guilt is
SO fragrant that the boldest and most
audacious of offenders will plead guilty
The man who disregards the law DELHI
erately. with malice aforethought, pre-
Stunning on his possibility of escape on
some technicality or some pretext, is en-
titled to no sympathy whatever Let the
DEGREES of the courts be executed fairly.
In this lies the respect for the law and
the assurance of law and order.

A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

The failure of the jury to convict
FABIAN Bouvy, indicted for the murder
Of Prof Fred Van Ingen, is miscar-
riage of justice.
From the evidence reported from
F1aquemine, La, where the trial was
he'd, there is offered not a scintilla of
Justification for this premeditated and
oowardly deed.
As reported from Plaquenine, four
of the jurors stood for mot guilty"
seven for "manslaughter" and one for
guilty as charged"
How four men governed by the evil
doaoe and the law could have reached
he conclusion that Bouvy is not guilty
Of naurder is beyond the rational under
standing of intelligent. minded and
honest men,
The crime, horrifying in its conception
and executed with a disbolism of a
vcngeful spirit born Of hell, is familiar
10 tine readers of the Caucasian.
Il is such mistrials and such failures
OF Justice which breed contempt for the
law and the courts 1t is very rare when
nnen having influence are convicted of
oine.
When this case is presented, and as
It Is viewed dispassionately from the
sone of the trial. the conclusion is
forced ON the mind that this miscarriage
Of justice is due to the influence of
Bouvy and his friends.
Would Bouvy have escaped conviction
It he were a common, ordinary man
without influence and friends? A mis-
carriage of justice in this case is equiv
alent to the acquittal of the murderer
~tcn called for second trial.
This reflection of discredit on law
and justice is appalling.
Bouvy not only murdered his friend,
but to save himself from righteous pun
ishment he has attempted to assassinate
the character of the wife of the man he
has slain.
This is about the limit of depravity.
What will not such man do to ex-
fieate himself from the meshes of the !
