VERY SMALL PER
CENTAGE OF COWS

TEST FOR TU6ERcULosis SHOWS
ONLY EIGHT 5ovlNEs
CONDEMNED.
THE CERTIFICATES ARE READY
City Health offieer Invites Those Emit
tied to Them to Come to His once
and Receive Them-only Few
Have Not Been Tested.

In accordance with the city ordt
nance about $50 cows have been tested
by the city health officer. DR.. P. d.
Biddle, and of this number not more
than eight have been condemned az
harboring the germs Of tuberculosis.
However, a few have not so far had
their cows put under the test, and it
is advised by the health oficer tha1
this be done at once, in order to avoid
the lagal complications which are
likely to ensue If this is not done az
an early date.
The purpose Of the ordinance 10 to
prevent the spread of tuberculosis
and it is thought that this can be done
by stopping the sale of dairy products
which are infected.
The small percentage of diseased
COWS is very gratifying.
The certificates for the cows that
have been tested can be secured by
calling at the Office of the city health
officer. The following named parties
have had their cows tested and the

TRAGEDY

The New Orleans States referring to
the last tragedy in New Orleans which
eliminated IN the death OF Frank Mish-
Ter, says District Attorney Adams has
summoned the grand jury to meet today.
The same expedition should mark the
trial Of Miss Fretseh as marked that of
Miss Mclaughlin: and if the evidence
submitted TO the jury sustains the re-
ports as they have appeared in the news
papers the outcome ought to be, and wilt
be, no different. The taking, Of human
life Is always to be lamented. but society
is no less outraged when men break the
divine commandments and indulge their
lust at the epense Of innocent and re-
spectacle girls Of tender age, who have
little or no protection against the pitfalls
that are laid for them.

ing nine years he will have served on

about seventy -four years of activity
Monroe News-Star.
The statement referring to Judge
Lands age is 1agrant. He is 6S, and
can do as much work, and probably
more, than his competitor, Judge Hall.
1t is no discredit to Judge Land if he
has two years of service ineompleted. In
two years he will have rounded his sew
entieth year, and should he live, as it is
TO be hoped he will at the end of the
term for which he seeks a nomination
as his own successor, he will be as young
as Mr. Gassaway Davis of West Nir-
gi1lia when he was nominated for Vice
President on the Democratic ticket.
Why these indications of apprehension
of defeat? Why these walls over a
mans age2
Adds the Monroe News-Star as, fig
urativeiy, it IS wfistling for dear life as
it jogs along hurriedly through the
graveyard Of its aspirations;
This Supreme Court district is COM
posed of all the parishes of the Fifth
Congressional district and four parishes
Of the Fourth Congressional district
Caddo. Bossier, Webster and Bienville.
From reliable information ii is almost
certain that Judge Hall will carry every
parish in the Fifth Congressional dis
triet, and will poll a large vote in at least
three of the other parishes.
Such claims are neither unique nor
original. It IS the same old story of
claiming everything.
Why not be rational and conservative? /?
Judge Hall nor his friends will not Sc
riousIy lay hands on Bossier, Caddo,
Bienville nor Webster in the Fourth
Congressional district, and there are
two parishes in the Fifth Congressional
district which are very close, besides FIVE
Others which may be safely counted for
Judge Land
During the whole campaign Judge
Land never intiinated OF uttered single
word reflective og discredit of Judge
Hall, and now that the campaign is
drawing to close the hightoned plane
Is being besmirched with a fragrant mis-
statement which will profit Judge Hall
little.
The Caueasian's advice to the Monroe
News-star and to the friends Of Judge
Hall Is to keep cool.
