Of hunting Licenses, as licenses are still
DcQuired

Last Thursday the hunting
season opened, the closed sea
son for doves and woodcocks
having come to an end. From
last Thursday hunters under the
law were allowed to xii! these
two birds. Only fifteen doves
however can be killed by any
hunter in one day.
After this month geese, brant,
river ducks can be killed, that is
beginning from October 1st: and
after Novem ber 18th, quail or
what is ommonly know as par
tridges can be killed but every
hunter is restricted to the same
mum bt.r as doves, fifteen in one
day. The season for doves and
woodcocks remains opened until
March 18th.
All hunters are required to
provide themselves with a license
as heretofore and lovers of the
sport should bear this fact ia
mind, as the law will be strictly
by the new ommission
as it was by the old. ANY one
believing in the preservation of
game Can have themselves sworn
n as special deputies without
cay. if they so desire. This fact
Vas announced by President Mil

He Is working for 1919 nomination and

ish

Ex-President Roosevelt made
q swing around the western sec.
ton of the country doing stunts,
making speeches and telling
stories. He added much to the
discontinue Of the national ad-
ministration by making state
ments that were anything but
pleasant to them, and that he is
allied with the insurgents or pro
gressives, as he would call them
himself, goes without saying.
The Repu blican party is now
t.Tn in twain with Roosevelt
heading. one faction aud Taft
holding the ad dminlstration forces
in line. The tariff is blamed for
the high cost Of living and the
insurgents are gaining grounds
daily with this as one of their
guns.
Roosevelt denounced machine
politics and scored grafters in
bis speech and placed himself as
favOring the elimination of graft
and taking steps to wipe it out of
this country. 1t is q pity that
tine Colonel could not have rea-
lized this fact so forceably when |
he Was in power. The time is
late, but many of his statements
are true nevertheless. Some |
people areof the opinion that
grating is absolutely honest,
since it goes on unmolcsted.
TAFT heading the administra.
tiun forces and with bis allies is
setting the trap for Roosevelt;

high tariff rule but il has an indi

he is nominated it will not follow
as day follows night that he will
be elected, as much as he wants
the nomination in 1912.

i The Thibodaux College starte
its session last Thursday with a
enrolment of between seventy fiv
and one hundred students. This
considered good when we take int
consideration the fact that this in
stitution eliminated the three frs
grades. due to the fact that tn
boys under the fourth grade ar
entered in the paroehial school ant
after completing the third grad
they 60 to the college. Last yea
the enrolment reached over tn,
hundred mark and it is expected
that as the season advances and at
ter the grinding season the enroll
ment will be much larger. The
faculty is composed of Profs. E. s.

the convent, which the generous
subscription of Catholics made
possible, also commenced under
very promising and bright cir
cumstances. The enrolment of
both boys and girls was a sur
prise, since SO little notice was
given parents. No one is denied
ad missions a tuition fee is charged
only those who can pay, and all
are welcome of Catholic parents,
if they desire a religious educa-
ton. No one will be any the
wiser whether one pays or not,
and there will be absolutely no
distinction. The very idea that
prompted the institution of the
school was the fact that there were
many who wanted Catholic educa
ton who could not afford to pay
for it and therefore the catholics be
lieving that education is defective
unless coupled with religious train
ing, took up the matter and its sue

two other private institutions that
reported good attendances, and

| The Board Of. Control Of che
state penitentiary are in receipt
Of various reports TO the effect
thata great many colored convicts
cut off their fingers in the dif-
ferent levee camps to avoid ser
vice on the wheelbarrow crowd.
Captains OF the different levee
camps state in their reports that
quite a few cut the fingers off their
hands to get off the wheelbarrow
gang and to keep from having to
roll dirt.
The St. Landry Clarion of Ope
lonsas charges that a colored con
vict in the Anderson Camp, near
Latanier, pleaded Sickness and
asked not to be made to work, ,and
when forced to work while he was
sick cut off his fingers, after
which he was whipped. For a
month after this event reports
show that there were no more fin
gers cut in this camp, but in an
other camp, the Mayes camp,
one convict did cut off his finger,
he was in the hospital for eight
days. In the Anderson camp
the same paper reports that in
the month of May one Sidney |
Joseph, also colored, did not like
his work and cut his entire hand |
off. There is d long listof priso-
ners this same article says that
resorted to these tactics, inflic-
ling self wounds in order to avoid
doing work in camp.
