THE STATE PRESS.

Monroe News-Star: It is difficult to
secure iuries that will convict evil-doers,
and when one such jury is found that will
return verdict which is responsive to the
law and the evidence, we think it should
be permitted to stand.
Louisiana Democrat: "The harvest is
past, and the summer is ended,'' and many
a man is wondering where all his summer
wages have gone. Probably the saloon or
the gambling den can furnish the answer
hand and lots Of people who have had
vest have nothing left with which to face
the winters storm and cold.
Shreveport Caucasian: Christmas was
observed in Shreveport with appropriate
decorum. There was lacking that bolster
Gus demonstration of years ago, when men
"full up with "booze" made the night
and the day hideous with their bowls and
reeled about-th streets disgracefully. It
is conceded that the few who had the op-
portunity could get their ''bcoze" privately,
but it was not as when the saloons were
open and invited men to fill up and raise
sheol. Instead of "boozing" their money
as in the years before prohibition, men in
vested in sensible Santa Claus which de-
lighted their homes and loved one. The
City Court tomorrow will not be filled with
DRINKS and downs and disorderly as in the
years when booze and boozers had free
and unlimited sway in Shreveport.
Monroe News-Star: A religion that will
talk less and do more is needed-more of
the kind that carries bible in enc hand
and q loaf Of broad in the other The
world wants religion that will not wait
until man is dead to place flowers on his
coffin. That kind of religion does no
good-it is the rankest hypocrisy and de-
ceit and is valueless. The only religion
that is worth anything to God and human
ity is that religion which is fved, and lived
every day in the week in secret and before
the public. In that great day the test will
not be what you have said, or what you
professed, but what you Hred. The world
needs religion that moves the hands to
deeds of kindness and the feet on errands
of mercy, as it moves the lips to speak.

Plastic Petit JurieS.
iColfax Chronicle.

In the finding of bills of indictment by
our grand juries it only takes decisive
majority to make presentiment, and we
do not see why some similar rule should
not prevail in the matter of trials by petit
jurors and the finding Of their verdicts.
If in France the ends of justice can be
served by majority of the jurors carrying
the vote either for acquittal or conviction,
then similar arrangement in this country
can be made to operate equally as we'll.
We believe that where ten out Of twelve
jurors agree, their verdict should stand,
and that no nistrial should be allowed in
any case unless at least three of the twelve
jurors are firm in their opposition to the
proposed verdict. This would largely do
away with the fixing of juries, which is
alleged to be of such common occurrence.
In any event, we hold that the law should
be changed so as to prevent a single stub
born or corrupt juror from multiplying a
verdict

Clear and Emphatic Language.

Replying to criticisms Of his statement
Sunday on the subject of second term
amendment, and further emphasizing his
decision not to urge or support the much
talked of change in the Constitution, Gov.
Sanders gave out the following statement
Tuesday,:
81 can not understand why the Times
Democrat in it's editorials should attempt to
continue the discussion of an issue which
my statement Of Sunday clearly removed
from consideration of my attitude toward
the proposed repeal of Article &c. No
fair minded man can read it and misunder-
stand it. 1t was definite and final ex-
preston of my opposition to the amend
ment. 1t meant that the amendment can
not and will not pass.
1T does not seem necessary to me to
put the matter in any more convincing
| language. am perfectly willing, however,
to say that there will be no effort made by
my administration or by my friends, in OF
out of the Legislature, to secure the repeal
of Article SO during the remainder of my

NEW YEARS Resolutions.

TIE close of the year is season for
memory. 1t is most natural that at such
time the mind should wander backwards
over the days that are fled. Those who
are inclined to do so may turn their reminis-
Genital mood to good account:
IT'S greatly wise to talk with our past hours,
And ask them what report they bore to heaven,
And how they might have borne more welcome news.
Christmas is the day of peace and good
will. New Years the day of meditation
and good intention. AS in the experiences
of ordinary existence, from week to week
and month to month, the passing of time
is followed by retrospection, regret and
retrenchment. Every joy has its sting,
every sorrow its sweetness.
Whether we intend to keep good resolu-
tons or not, this is good time to make
tkem. 1t is privilege that is customary
but once year. The person who has not
enough human sentiment to wish to be
better, to himself and his friends, isn't
worthy of this strange, devious old world,
which is pretty pleasant after all and the
best place we know, next to heaven. Good
resolutions are, or should be, stepping
stones to better things here and hereafter,
notwithstanding that the lower realm is said
to be paved with them.
Because they are generally 50 soon
forgotten, New Years resolutions have
become the subject of ridicule and railery.
But for this there is no just cause. The
mere resolve indicates discomfort with
himself and an aspiration for better things.
If the New Years resolution has resulted
in reform for single week it has not been
without good results. No man is as good
as he should be or might be, and now is an
appropriate time to think of things and try
to reform these defects which mar the
character of each one of US, to resolve to
do our duty more earnestly and to be more
considerable of others.
One of the ingredients of success, as we'll
as Of moral improvement, is a thorough
understanding of common frailties. We
do a good service by acquainting ourselves
with our faults, even if we are unable to
correct them. 1t makes us less overbear-
ing and more indulgent.
New Years is good day for medita-
ton, and good resolutions are not only
proper, but due. If possible, firm reso-
luton to fulfill good intentions should be
added, at least for temporary inspiration.
The Banner takes this occasion to present
the compliments of the season to its read
ers, hoping that each one of them and all
of our people may have year of peace
and prosperity.

Lake Charles American: What was the
mos valuable agricultural crop in LOUISE
ana in 1909? 1t may surprise you to know
that it was corn-corn which until the
present year Louisiana bought by the train
load in the North. It's value is figured at
$50, 900, which is slightly in excess of
the sugar crop, twice the value of the cot
ton crop and probably four times the value
of the rice crop.
