His Petition for Pardon Was Passed

If Madden Bush and his friends had
anticipated his pardon and his release
from the pen on or before Christmas
he and they are disappointed.
His application for pardon was Of

In this action the Board of Pardons
was perhaps deliberate. 1t was delay
suggested by policy. but Madden Bush
will not have to tarry long in the pen.
He and his relatives and friends
have a political pull and with these he
will soon be a free man.
Madden Bush was convicted of man
slaughter He shot and killed young
man named Guice, who was then in the
Serwich restaurant, located on Market
street near Texas He fired the fatal
shot at the instigation of his father,
who was liberated from the pen on a
pardon.
At the time it was stated that his life
had become so impaired that he would
die unless released He had been SEN
fenced for life. A life sentence should
mean for life. and not release when
sickness is alleged.
There is no State of the Union where
pardons are obtained on the firnsiest
of pretexts as in Louisiana, but the par
don is for the man having the political
pull. Poor men or men without the pull

ercised by the Board of Pardon.

RED RIVER CUTOFF
Capt c. P Truslow Opposes Project
Now Pending in Congress.

New Orleans Picayune Dec. 23 Capt.
c. P Truslow, who is one of the best
known river men in this section, is un-
alterably opposed to the project now
pending in Congress to cut off the Red
and Ouachita Rivers from the Mississi-
ippi, ana turn them down the Atchafa-
1aya In explaining his views on the
question, he gave out the following
statement:
Referring to an article contained in
your issue of Wednesday, the 18th inst,
on the enforcement of the waters of the
Red, Black and Ouchita Rivers from
those of the Mississippi conveys the
impression that such legislation would
have almost universal approval, and
that steamboat men would not feel url-
favorable toward it. The opinions
therein expressed are so much at vari-
ance with my oft expressed opinions,
| feel it only proper that / should as
one river man place myself on record
as unfriendly to such legislation, and,
begging your indulgence, | will frankly
state my reason.
First believe it necessary that
the At chafalaya River should continue
to act as great exhaust valve to carry
off the large volume of excess water in
times of flood of the Mississippi River
like that of the very recent past.
Second believe that such divorce
ment would SO much raise the flood
level and 50 greatly increase the We
locity of the current that it would be
necessary to add additional heights
and strengths to the present levees to
enable them to safely resist the in
creased weight and pressure thrown
against them by the angry, swollen riv.

AN EXPLANATION
Why the Paper Keeps Coming and the
Answer


We were asked this week by delin-
uuent subscriber why we kept on send
ing the paper after the subscription date
expired. Here is the answer by the
Gibbs1and News, which may be applied
in a general sense TO newspapers having
a weekly edition circulating in the
country:
Should we stop subscriptions when
the time expires, nine times out Of ten
the subscriber would give us a calling
down for insinuating that his credit
was not good. Rather than cast re-
Fiction on the honesty of a subscriber
to pay a small debt, it is next to a me-
Cessity for home paper to continue
sending the paper after the time has ex-
pired. It is not necessary for the city
dailies or weeklies to follow this rule,
as their subscribers live at distance
and are not personal friends as in the
case with a majority of our subscribers.
Our subscribers should deem it an
honor to know that we do not doubt
their integrity and continue to send
them the paper after the time has ex-
pired. Should any desire their paper
discor 'inued, they should notify Us and
remit to date if they have not already
done SO.

POSTOFFICE BUSINESS WAS
ENORMOUS.

The postofice Christmas business was
enormous. During the week the post
office was crowded and jammed with
people, the majority being of the fair
sex, sending packages to relatives and
friends, but there was no delay in the
service which was satisfactory This is
creditable to the postofice department
As to post cards, the number mailed can
scarcely be estimated Each card is a
missive which is intended to brighten
some dear one, with the Christmas
greeting of good cheer

Hungarian and Crotian laborers whose

Acting Secretary Cable of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. The
men have not money enough to support
themselves under ordinary conditions.
Their deportation, the authorities be-
lieve, is justified on general principles,
