HuNsIcKER BILL PASSED.

Mansfield Journal: Many inquiries
have been made as to what disposition
was made by the Legislature in the mat
ter of the amendment of the Hursicker
law. The bill as amended passed, de-
spite the effort made to change the YER
biage that the law would become of
practically no effect.
It may be recalled that the Supreme
Court declared that the law was faulty
in that it did not apply to those of
mixed blood Mr.. Hunsicker offered
an amendment to make the law apply to
both colored and negro persons.
One of the legislators sought to have
the bill read that it would not apply to
a person who married negro in the
belief that the other contracting party
was white. He did not succeed.

lest rains at scattered points near At

drouth will prevail and large sections

Threatening weather is expected not

storm moves eastward and probabilities
will be more favorable for good rains
The dates | give for these events are
timed for meridian 90 and allowance
must be made for the eastward drift
of the weather elements a day or two
earlier west and a day or two later east
of that line.

JUDGE A. D. LAND
How He Is Viewed by the Press of the
State-A Plain, Unpretending, Kindly
Gentleman

Dodson Times: Recognizing that
Winn parish is not exactly partof the
North Louisiana Supreme Court district
in which Judge Land is a candidate to
succeed himself, and with no intention
at forecasting or discrediting the ability
and fitness of his opponent, Judge L. E.
Hall of Monroe, for the position, the
long and excellent service of Judge
Land leads us TO feel a keen interest in
his reelection
The Bernice Herald says of him
Judge Land was apointed to his pres
ent position in October. 1903, to fill
the unexpired term of Justice Blan-
chard. The appointment was made by
Governor Heard, one of the best gov
ernors Louisiana has ever had, on the
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1910-07-17

recommendation of the lawyers of this
State. This promotion was earned by
Judge Lands long service as District
Judge of the Caddo Parish District.
1T is conceded that Judge Land has
made good record on the Supreme
bench as an able Woodworking and
conscientious judge. Judge Land has
made a deserved reputation as COM
mon sense, practical jurist This is es-
pecia1fy shown by his opinions in Grim
inal cases. It was also shown by his
dissenting opinion in the anti-concub-
image case when he and Judge Nichols
held that negro and "colored' meant
the same thing.
Judge Land rendered the opinion i'll
the McEnery Scrip case, which was re-
Gently affirmed by the Supreme Court
of the United States. This decision
saved the homes of many people who
had purchased land in good faith with
McEnery Scrip.
Personally, Judge Land is a plain,
nnpretending, kindly gentlemen, and
very popular wherever he is known"
AS further comment upon the ex-
ceptional reasons why Judge Land
should be retained with the State ST.
preme Court, the Baton Rouge New
Advocate says:
Judge Land has devoted large
share of his time and splendid abili4
ties to the duties of the bench. He is
the ideal justice Cool, clear headed,
painstaEing, methodica1, dispassionate,
thoroughly learned in the law, great
student, a democrat and patriot, he
fills in the last degree, the measure re-
quired for a great jurist
His DEGREES are lucid, perspicuous,
logical and absolutely convincing. Hav-
ing gotten out of the current of the ac-
tive practice and DEVOTED his life to
the bench, and having reached the age,
when men usually retire from the thick
Of the battle to the repose and retro
spect of life, he is entitled to more than
ordinary consideration at the hands of
his people.
"The Supreme Court should be re-
moved as far as possible from politics.
But for this acknowledged truism,
Judge Land would now be honoring the
State Supreme bench.

mayor and four councilmen, each fot
the department he announces for, as
provided for in the commission form
of government, said nominees to be the
Democratic nominees in case this city
adopts the commission form of govern
ment.
At said time there shall also be nom
mated a mayor and fifteen comcilmen,
to be the Democratic nominees in the
event the commission form of govern
ment is not adopted.
In either event the party nominated
for mayor shall be the party nominee.
Any candidate running for council
man under the commission form Of gov
eminent plan may likewise be a candi-
date for councilman under the present
charter.
Following another lively contention
the yeas and nays were called and re-
corded.
For Jacks resolution: w. c. Agurs,

The chairman, Mr. Jenkins, did not
vote but is on the side of the majority,
which practically gives Jacks resolution
8 to 5.
The effect of this result should be ex-
planned.

offered the commission form advocates

When it was proposed to hold a pri-
mary on September to nominate a
mayor and fifteen councilmen, the COM
mission form advocates were f to 7, one
of the seven being inclined to the other
side but hesitating until the conpro-
mise, fair to all, was submitted to him
and one of his friends in an undertone
and then the commission form advo-
Gates were to 5.
Had the straight primary for a mayor
and fifteen councilmen prevailed, the
commission form advocates would have
been placed at the greatest disadvantage.

As provided in the Jack resolution, a
candidate for mayor on the ticket for
the present system of government may
also be candidate for mayor on the
commission form; so can a candidate

the advocates of the commission form
secured this advantage and the primary
nomination on September being fixed
for mayor and fifteen counci1men, it
IS reasonable TO assume that the mayor
ana the nfteen nominated on Septem-
Der 6 would have combined against the
commission form of government, when
the election held at a later date would
have occurred and its defeat would be
probable. The compromise reached
should be satisfactory to all citizen who
favor fair play, at least the citizens who
want a change in the system of govern
nlent of the municipality are well
pleased with the situation which is un-
questionably Democratic and fair to all
concerned.
AT meeting of the Executive Com
mittee to be held at some date in the
future there will be provided the details
connected with the primary election
fixed for September 6.
