BOOKIES OUTLAWED.

The prohibition by law of booknak-
ing at race tracks is not limited to the
City of New Orleans nor the State of
Louisiana.
According to the States: Governor
Hughes successful fight against book
making at race tracks has given cour-
age to many States to attack the evil,
California and Kentucky have cut out
the 'bookies,' and now Florida has
taken step in that direction, the Sem
ate having passed bill prohibiting bet
ting on races Maine has gone even
further and has shut off the State sti-
pend of 5000 a year formerly allowed
the Sagadohoc Fair because gambling
was tolerated in the grounds last fall.
It may be noted in the quoted clip
from the States there is not word con-
corning the constitutional prerogative of
the men who have reflected on the good
name of New Orleans by their cold and
reckless defiance of decency at betting
or rather gambling which has led to the
passage of the Locke law. And yet while
Governor Hughes and other officials of
States have and are denouncing the evil
of 'bookies" there are in Louisiana some
men of prominence in the legal pro-
fession and in other occupations who
deride the Locke law as being an in
fringement of the right of the individ-
ua1s who would engage in bookmaking,
or rather gambling, as well as depriving
the citizen of the indulgence of his con-
stitutional prerogative of betting his
money on horses There are some men
possessed Of singular notions, some men
of high rank who are as inconsistent as
they are radical, men who will squint at
gnat and swallow a. rhinocerous. For
tunately for the good name of Louisiana
as well as for the sake of decency, such
men are limited in number

THE CONFEDERATE VETERANS
REUNION.

The Confederate Veterans Reunion
held in Memphis, Tenn, is at an end.
There were many prostrations from
heat with several fatalities. 1t has been
manifest for years that the reunion
dates should be changed from June to
early May, especially when held in the
Gulf States. The boys" .of 1861 may
be filled with the spirit of dash and
vim, but few of their number are equal
to the test of endurance. It should not
be expected that men in their seventies.
particularly the men who live in the
country, can stand the test. AS matter
of fact men weakened with age should
not venture on long trips nor be ex~
posed to the excitement incident to such
reunions.
There was developed at the Memphis
Reunion a political feature which should
have been eliminated ttffee=eaeenionsfy.
The Reunion of Confederate Veterans
is no place for political display or ef-
forts at political oratory.
Mobile, Ala, was selected for the next
Reunion, to the surprise of Houston,
Texas, whose friends were certain Of
success.
General Clement A. Evans was re-
elected Commander in Chief.
