and the entries upon the account fur
nished to the State Treasurer by the
Commission.
But Mr.. Bryan makes an admission
in his letter which in a striking way
proves the correctness Of my asser-
lions that the game commission was
spending the money entrusted to it
in a reckless and illegal way. All the
wardens throughout the State from
and after April z, 1909, the date Of
the passage of the resolution referred
to by him are to be paid 1888 1-3
cents exactly for travelling expenses,
and that without any regard whatever
as to the amount for travelling ex-
penses necessarily incurred or
whether any travelling expenses were
incurred at all or not, and without
any detail whatever. The account
shows that all Of the Wardens subse-
quent to that date drew S75 per month,
as is stated for salary and expenses.
It looks very much like a general
raise Of the salaries Of the wardens to
$500 year and in violation Of the law
which limits the salaries to $500 per
annum. The payment Of eight dollars
and thirty-three cents per month to
the wardens, even if for travelling
expenses. is in violation Of the act,
which provides only for payment Of
the travelling expenses of the Com
mission, and their employees, no au-
thority being given to pay the travel
ing expenses of the Wardens. Ger
tainly a salary Of $500 might well be
considered sufficient to compensate
them for any actual service or actual
travelling expenses necessarily incur
red which was m~anifestly the inten-
tion Of the law. Here is an extract
from the law:
In order to carry out the purpose
Of this act, the commission shall re-
ceive travelling expenses while attend
ing to all matters connected with said
Commission and in f~urtherance of the
objects for which said Board.
has been created, and shall have
power to incur the expenses of any
Of its employees engaged in like
duties, both within and without the
State. Said expenses to be paid by
the State Treasurer on duly executed
vouchers, from the fund kept by him.
Even if by a stretch of interpeta-
ton the parish wardens might be con-
sidered to be employees to the Board,
yet they, by the explicit terms of the
law, could only be paid for their
travelling expenses, upon furnishing
duly executed vouchers therefor.
But these are minor considerations
in comparison with the unauthorized
expenditure Of the large amount ex-
for the board and lodging and
other expenses of the parish Wardens
to that Baton Rouge Convention. I
| beg to suggest to Mr.. Bryan or to
some other Jealous partisan of the
Game Commission the proDrietry of
explaining the utility of the assem-
blage so as to relieve it from the ap-
~pearance of being a mere junketing
trip, for the pleasure and entertain
ment of the parish wardens. It would
be still more appropriate if some de-
or apologist Of the Commission
could be found outside of the ranks
Of the benefciaries of its extravaganza
and illegal expenditure Of the money.

Idle Negroes.

Those who have had occasion to
notice matters carefully declare that
nine out Of ten of the negroes before
the courts are members of the idle
class-those that live by their wits
or who subsist off what some negro
cook carries home with her, says the
Plaquemine News. Negroes that are
constantly employed have little time
or occasion for resorting to crime in
order to support themselves. We
feel sure that there are thousands of
industrious negroes in south Louis
iana-men and women-Who do not
shirk the burdens Of toll, but perform
their allotted tasks with a willingness
that CHALLENGES admiration. Then
there are others who labor indiffer-
emily, not willingly, but simply be-
cause necessity compels them to do
so. And we are all acquainted with
the numerous characters that must
eat and live, but who neither toll nor
accumulate.
There are many well mentioned
people who have an ambition to solve
the alleged negro problem" If
they would forget their chimericaI
schemes, devised by fanatics, and get
at the bottom Of the real facts and
conditions surrounding the negro,
they would doubtless be enabled to
adopt some practical plan for benefit
ing the black man. The best cure
that we know Of is to compel the
horde of idle and vicious negroes
that afiict the towns ane villages to.
work industriously for twelve months
in the year. If this plan was follow
ed for a while there would be far
less cause to worry about the future
status Of the negro. The negroes who
refusd to work are the very ones that
keep our criminal courts busy and
fill our jails and chain gangs. The
industrious black mai usually man
ages to keep out Of trouble. The
lazy, trifing coon" is responsible
for the disrepute in which his race
is held. He consumes much and pro-
duces absolutely nothing. Naturally,
he becomes a drain on those of his
own race who labor and a far greater
drain and burden on the white people
Of the community. The heads Of
households in Plaquemine and else
where can be Of inestimable benefit
to both the negroes and their ser
wants, by giving the latter to under
stand, in all kindness, but with firm
ness, that there are limits in the
matter Of privileges beyond which
they must not go in their relations to
the households. Too many lazy, vi
cious negroes are fed by the cooks
from the white mans tables, and this
helps to encourage idleness and thus
The endless chain Of making Grimm
is constantly in motion.

Stone IN KIDNEY

An interesting case was that of Mr..
H. l.. DcDuffce. member of the firm
of II c. DeWolfe &, Co, of the Crocker
Building, San Francisco.
The case was puzZling. There was
pain in the kidney With showing of
blood Examination by seven physi-
clans proved that the blood was from
the kidneys, and 1t was the opinion
Of all that there was a stone cutting
the kidneys, as the least exercise caus-
ed a showing of blood.
Four X-Ray pictures were taken,
three of them showing a stone half
an inch In diameter. To be certain
that 1t was stone that cast the
shadow, a similar stone about the same
size taken from a patient was put
under him for omparison-both stones
showing on the plate.
An operation was about decided up
on when Fultons Renal Compound
was recommended to Mt McDuffce.
He feared the knife and gave 1t a
trial.
Within ten weeks the blood and pain
had ceased and In six months he con.
sidered himself well.
We also have a tbree-page letter
from an old school physician. a lee.
turer in one Of the San Francisco Medi.
cal Colleges. covering a similar case
OF stone in the kidney, An operation
seemed inevitable.
He prescribed FMlton's Renal Com
pound upon the theory that as II was
