HUNTERS LICENSE.

At the session of the State Game
Commission held in New Orleans yes
terday the market hunters license was
raised to twenty dollars and the non
residents license decreased It is con-
ceded that the Commission in their rul-
ing have in mind the preservation Of
game, but as there are many of the peo-
pie ii the cities and towns who must
depend on the hunters for their game,
will not the consumers have to pay this
increase III the license? All the people
DE not go out with gun and shoot
game. and therefore have no need Of a
license, but they frequently crave a
change III diet 81 some extra which they
obtain from the hunters and from the
fishermen, when they want fsA.
E this increase Of the market hunters
license constitutional?
There Is nothing SO easy as to raise
this point and have it tested by the legal
tribunal Of the State.

AGRI ES CONVICTION.

Bloody Iangipahoa' is gradually be-
ing redeemed through the conviction of
men who have terrorized the parish for
years. There was q time when there was
placed little value on the life of any man
ii Tangipahoa parish who had incurred
the displeasilre or the enr1ity of the
gang and their associates, who murdered
defenseIsss women as well as men.
Alden Lagrue was one of this gang.
He was convicted of the murder of
Charles Jordan, who had the care
of the Minors estate, covering many
acres Of land Jordan was ambushed
and assassinaIed. Lagrue had planned
his deed with deIibsratioa, bat with all
bis. Misunderstanding his identity he
sss finally convicted The eircum-
stances against him were SO direct and
positive as to leave no doubt of his
guilt
When men Of Iagrue's stamp are
convicted It is then that the good citi-
zens can be congratulated After all,
the enforcement of the law in the con-
uietion Of criminals must rest with the
good citizen
