Miller of the State Game Commission that
10000 quails were killed in Natchitoches
Parish during the four months of the last
open season-from November list to March
1st-the Enterprise says the amount is so
exaggerated as to make the statement alb
surd.'' However, there is no exaggeration
about the $1,000 salary paid this unnecessary
official.

Loyal to His Convictions.
TGalyestOn News


The anniversary of jefferson Davis birth
deserved rather larger celebration than it
got. It is still long time yet before his
tory will be able to make just appraise-
ment of his career. The passions of the
Civil War still linger sufficiently to impair
the critical faculty.
But all save few must admit that he
was man of ideals, and thai he was faith
full to them. That is rarer virtue now
than it was in his day; and it is because
this is so that those who appreciate the
virtue of being faithful to ones ideals
ought to make better use Of the occasion
which the anniversary of birth gives for
celebration. jefferson Davis served the
Stars and Stripes and he served the Stars
and Bars. And in both cases his service
was of equal fidelity.
Nor is there an element Of paradox in
that. He served the Stars and Stripes so
long as they emblemized his convictions.
When the Stars and Bars became truer
expression of his feelings, he transferred
that act rebellion. Very we'll; it is good
orotund word, and perhaps serves as we'll
as any other could to signify loyalty to
ideals.
And loyalty to ones faith is the first de-
mand of patriotism. The only real treason
is qualification. The faith of Jefferson
Davis was living faith. He was no idol
worshipper. When the actual and visible
thing ceased to mean what he believed, he
forsook it that he might the more strongly
cling to his faith. He forsook his flag
when it ceased to stand for the principles
to which he thought it had been dedicated,
and if he forsook his flag, how much the
more easily would he quit his party if it
ceased to signify what he believed?
Somewhere, Guizot says: 'Man makes
but small part Of history; it has higher
authority" The kernel of that is a pious
thought. It means that man in his most
herculean labor fashions only details, and
that in the larger affairs, he is merely an
instrument, not a causative power. If that
is so, is it not'a religious duty to maintain
ones instrumental efficiency by remaining
obedient to the law of his nature?
Hypocrisy is the objectionable civic sin.
1t doesn't make much difference what each
of us Individually thinks. But it is vastly
important that each of us should exemplify
his faith. jefferson Davis did that.
Wherefore if rebellion, or even treason, be
the word to describe the transfer of his
allegiance from the Stars and Stripes to the
Stars and Bars, we but badge with courage
him at whom we hurl the epithet. Some
compromise of opinion is essential, and a
virtue as shield against the sin of intoler-
ance and bigotry; but there are limits be-
yond which it is disloyalty to country and
to self. jefferson Davis knew that limit,
and he risked life, fortune and fame rather
than transgress it.

THE STATE PRESS.
official.

THE STATE PRESS.
Natchitoches Enterprise: From present
conditions it appears highly probable that
the next legislature will exterminate the
State Game Commission, with its high
salaries the poor wardens, who do
all the work-and its exalted idea of its
own power to make laws for the people of
Louisiana.
Vermilion News: Merchants in New
York and in Chicago advertise their goods
in the Sunday editions of the daily papers
in display advertisements of one page. and
sometimes two pages. The cost of page
advertisement, one day, is from $500 to
ST, 900, according to the standing of the
paper. These merchants know the value
of advertising, else they would not spend
that amount of money. Their success is
evidence that they know what they are
doing.
Lake Charles American: Although Cal
casieu furnished enough money to the
Game Commission to pay all of Miller's
salary and portion of Ponder's, equal to
the years pay of ten parish game wardens,
we are panied to observe that the Siahese
twins of the happy hunting ground and
their magic lantern show are still lodging
their head meal ticket. We submit that
this is rank injustice. We have already
paid to see the show and are being deprived
of our rights.
Vermilion News: At the Confederate
Reunion held at Memphis last week Gen.
Clement A. Evans was reelected Com
mander-in Chief of the United Confederate
Veterans. A better selection could not be
made. Louisiana was honorably repre-
scented by two of her most gallant sons, Gen.
T. w. Castleman, Division Commander,
and Gen. j. A. Prudhomme, former Divis-
ion Commander. The attendance was
large, and the veteransenjoyedt the march
remindful of the long ago, which would
seem dream, only for the sad recollection
of the Cause that was lost.
New Orleans Picayune: Jury service is
not pleasant, but it is a duty of the most
urgent character. In serving in that ca
pacity the citizen is assisting to enforce the
laws and protect life and property. When
the safety of society is endangered and the
preservation of public order is at stake, the
citizen is called on to assist to the extent oil
his ability in maintaining and enforcing
the laws, and the obligation resting on him
is as great if not quite so urgent as is that
to take musket and rally to the defense
of his home and country when they are
invaded by foreign enemy.
st. Helena Echo: 1t is appalling how
men will put money above the most sacred
things of earth. If gambling, debauchery
infamy and disgrace pays, there are mer
who will stand for it if they have to wall
over the dead bodies of their children ano
friends who go down in these whirlpools
and condone crime, misery and shame or
every hand, only that the town or some.
body may get some revenue therefrom. Il
it possible that our people are giving them.

Have they entirely forgotten God and ne
longer regard His statutes? If 80, He has
assured them that there cometh day wher
He will laugh at their calamity and vii
mock when their fears cometh.
