IN THE Pen ONE HOUR
For Involuntary Homicide - Convicted
in DeSoto Parish.

EImore Williams, a negro, convicted
of involuntary manslaughter in DeSoto
and sentenced to one hour at hard labor
in the penitentiary, has conformed to
the law. Having paid the penalty he
was discharged Before leaving the pen
he was given $500 in money, a new suit
OF clothes and a pair of shoes, which is
provided by law for every convict re-
leased from the pen. The cost to De
Soto parish to have Williams conveyed
to Baton Rouge is about SEQ, but there
was left no alternative in the enforce
ment of the law.

THE GAME COMMISSION A
TIYTIRN

We believe the Game Commission is q
luxury the taxpayers could very well dc
without-Monroe Star.
It is more than luxury. It is one
of the strong links of the political
chain forged in the interest of a few
men who would dominate the State.
The game and fish laws of the State
are not realizing the anticipations of
sportsmen nor of the people who in
dulge occasionally in the advertisement
afforded with rod and gun. After the
law has been given a fair trial, the opin-
ion of those not connected directly or
indirectly with the commission is that
the commission should be abolished.
A great deal Of money has been col
1ected in the payment Of licenses which
can not be approved. The bulk of this
money IS expended in salaries of ap-
pointees. This commission and its con
11ection is what an old friend would say
IS a great sinecure. Through this sys-
TEN of license, game has been slaugh-
tered in many instances regardless of
the limits OF preservation.
The same conditions exist as to fish,
There never was any need of this
State Commission. The police juries
Of each parish should have full author
ity in the care of game and fish within
their Jurisdictions. The game and fish
of the State can be conserved more ef-
fectiyely by each police jury than by the
commission, or at least as we'll.

THE GREATEST LOUISIANIAN
Henry Watkins Allen - Francis T
Nichols.

Bossier Banner: A correspondent
submits to the New Orleans States the
interesting question: Who is the great
est Louisianian, living or dead to
which the States replies as follows:
That inquiry is one that has often
been made, although it never seems to
have been conclusively answered up to
this time. Louisiana has produced
many noble men, but no one among
them perhaps has lowered so conspicu-
ously above all his fellows as to cause
him to be pointed to as Louisianas pre-
eminently great son.
In responding to toast proposed to
The Foremost Citizen of Louisian,' at
a banquet composed of the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1898, Mr. Justice
Monroe declared that citizen to be Fran
els T. Nichols 1t would probably be
difficult to find citizen of the State,
living or dead, who more nearly meas
ures in all respects up to the require
ments that go to constitute true great
ness"
In our humble opinion, Henry Wat
kins Allen SIS the greatest Louisiana,
living or dead" True, he was Mis-
sissippian by birth, but his great life
work was given to Louisiana. AS Gov
ernor during the last two years of the
war between the States, Allen proved
himself to be the greatest Chief Magis-
trate Louisiana has ever had Next to
Allen we place the gallant Brigadier
Nichols, as General R. E. Lee in his
report of the battle of Charlottesville,
called Louisiana's favorite son. Allen
and Nichols! This State can with
great pride point to their deeds of pa
triotlsm and devotion to their people.

TWO TRAMPS' EXPERIENCE.

Lake Charles American: The Acadia
grand jury recently turned loose two
tramps who have been kept in jail 1913
days awaiting trial on an accusation of
stealing 35c from negro boy. Their
board bill cost the taxpayers of the par
ish $1,000 while they were waiting for
the grand jury to convene. The member
of the Legislature who frames a bill
that will relieve the taxpayers of drains
like these on their pockets will perform
one of the greatest public services for
decade, and it really should not be
difficult task to frame such bill

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE.

1t was announced from Baton Roug'
a few days since that the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph. Company ha
applied to the State Railroad Con1nls
sion for authority to increase its rate!
on residences fifty cents per telephone
per month.
This increase is based on the improve,
1nents contemplated by the company. L
is stated that forty per cent of the sub
scribers to this company's service have
endorsed this proposition, as indicated
by the signers of the petition presented
to the Railroad Commission.
How is it that only forty per cent Of
the patrons of this company have evi-
denced their willingness to pay this ad-
ditional fifty cents per month, and the
remaining sixty per cent have been mute
or Indifferent?
It is understood that considerable &C
tivity has been aroused in the sixty per
cent who object to being taxed for a
better service, which should be fur
nished at the price now being paid.
It is understood that this increase OF
fifty cents for each telephone used at a
residence is intended as interest on the
outlay of money necessary to further
these improvements, which are to cost
a hundred thousand dollars Or more.
From its view of the situation and
the conditions in Shreveport the COM
pany may feel justified in asking for
this increase, but its patrons can not be
made to understand why they should
be required to pay for any improve
zner1ts which will advance and profit the
company's service to an up-to-date sys-
tenn.
1t does not seem fair nor reasonable
that such increase should be considered
favorably If it is true that forty per
cent of the subscribers who have signed
the petition presented to the State Rail
road Commission are willing to pay the
increase of fifty cents per month for the
telephone at their respective homes or
residences, it is matter which con-
Germs them personally or collectively
1t is equally true that if the sixty per
cent who are opposed to this advance
are unwilling to accede to the company's
proposal, they may exercise their in
aiienable right of the American citizen
to quit, but there is involved in this is
sue principle which should not be min
inized, and it is whether or not a minor
1ty can prevail over majority, or
whether or not corporation may as
sumo to fix rate of service which may
be arbitrary or which may be violative
of an original contract.
Candidly. we do not think that the
proposition of the Cumberland Com
pany should receive favorable considera-
ton, nor is there any good reason why
its patrons in Shreveport should not
have an up-to-date service without be-
ing asked or expected to pay for interest
or otherwise any part of the cost Of the
improvements.

JUDGE MURFF AND THE LAW

HUSTON Progressive Age: Shreveport
is havingsquite time with violators of
the prohibition law, but the way Judge
Murff is giving even justice to offend
ers is more than likely to prove that
prohibition will prohibit. A short time
ago we made mention Of the fact that
the "elite" and the coon" all look alike
to the said judge when the evidence
showed guilt, and the stiff bosom front,
tallor-made suit gentry were assigned to
do duty for the public in making roads. >
1t is plain that Judge Murff is dis
charging his duty impartially, much to
the dislike of the men convicted of the
violation of the law.

the advice of DR.. J. G.. Steffen OF Du-

general assembly of the PRESBYTERIAN
church.
It was decided that 100000 should
be spent i'm the erection of churches
in the synod of Tennessee to replace
those taken from the church by the
decision of the supreme court OF that
state, which held the union OF the
Presbyterian Church in the United

land Presbyterian church Illegal.
DR.. Steffen in his address called at
tention to the lack of Bible study in
the sectarian schools, and urged that
rule requiring at least l44 hours of
Bible study in each school year be
made compulsory in the case of each
regular student.
