THE MUZZLED PRESS
A Suggestion Which, if Untrue, Should
Be Disproved Categorieally.

The Pointe Coupee Banner says. Out
of politically charged clouds comes the
suggestion that a great many papers Of
the State are being throttled from free
expression by the privilege of publish
ing the proposed constitutional amend
ments. just how mich truth there is
in this suggestion we know not, but
should it prove true, then indeed have
those newspaper men betrayed the high
calling which they have assumed. Just
at the time when the press is being
hailed as the greatest monlder Of pub
lie opinion, owing to the stand always
taken in defense Of the peoples rights
and liberties, it would indeed be a great
pity to have this high compliment
.clouded with suspicion. There is known
as the partisan press, class that clings
to and defends a principle wrong as it
may be. This portion of the press
classes the independent press as rad
ical, but radical as it may be, ii will
be found in every instance that there
are no strings tied to the policy of the
paper IN question. If a thing is wrong,
it should be pointed out and be called
wrong no paper should stand in its de-
tense or be nuzzled into silence by such
paltry things as public printing and the
publication of constitutional amend
ments, for if ones seif-respect is a mat
ter Of barter and trade, then indeed had
he better quit the high calling of jour
naIisfn ere he be pointed out as a Judas
among his people. We respect the opin-
ion of every individual however thai
opinion may diverge, but il must be an
honest opinion, not bought OF traded
Let the press stand together for what il
honestly believes rignt-though they diff
fer LET the difference be honest ane
straightforward--not one born OF dol,
lars and cents If public printing and
the publication Of the constitutional
amendments is being used as an asset il
the hands of the politicians, the pres.
should demand an Investigation and SEE
that proper legislation Is enacted (
wrest this asset from them aud place i
above barter

JUVENILE OFFENDERS
When Convicted Should Be Sent to a
Reforinatory.

Homer Guardian Journal: 1t is not 2
good sign to see so many young offend
ers before the courts. Last Monday
there were three young boys under Il
years of age before the court on Grim
ina1 charges. Earl Johnson, who has
resided in Homer several years, gave
his age as 16. He pleaded guilty to lar
ceny of 5000 money belonging to Mr..
A. L. DeLoach. Leon Dunn, another
young white man of Haynesville, plead
ed guilty to selling whiskey without Ii
cense. John Fretwell, another young
white man of II, pleaded guilty to ours
ing near the dwelling house of another.
Besides these there we're several young
negroes before the court as offenders
against the law.
" It is rather unfortunate that SO many
boys start out with record Of that kind.
1t may be, however, that punishment
for such conduct this early will be les
son to them for the future and tend to
restrain them from further transgress-
ions, There is no provision for a re-
cord of that kind. 1t may that the judge
had to sentence them as any other vio-
lators, taking into consideration their
age.
1t would seem that no community is
free from bad boys. but to inflict on
them a Jail or prison sentence will not
lead to their Improvement.
We hold that no boy is so bad but
there is good in him, which may be de-
veloped i'll reformatory.
Unfortunately in Louisiana there has
been given little attention to reforming
bad boys into good citizens as in other
states of the Union
# half the money which has been,
squandered by the State in the promo
ton of political schemes and schemers
had been applied to the construction and
the operation of a reforlnatory, say at
Monroe, where the law has designated
that it should be, many of the juvenile
offenders of today would have been re-
strained into good behavior. However,
in time the reformatory at Monroe will
be constructed and then boys who are
taw-brea<ers will have to do penance
and become good, if there be any good
in them

VOTING THE NEGROES
In Order to Garry the Constitutional
Amendments.

{
Mansfield Enterprise The recent
statement by the Times-Democrat that
the Ward Bosses in New Irleans would
bring the negroes back into politics in
order to carry the exposition and other
constitutional amendments, was indeed
a shock to our people, but no great sur
prise. That the Sanders administration
has been a disappointment to even its
friends can not be denied, but we are
hardly prepared TO believe that they
are ready to overturn white supremacy
to carry out their programme. We are
glad to see that the States, the accepted
n1otthpiece of the Bosses, denies the
allegation, for move III that direction
would arouse. The indignation of the en-
tire people, and solidify the respectable
element Of the white people as nothing
else could, The people of the South
will bear with much TO keep the negro
out Of politics, and they will tolerate
nothing tending otherwise The sine
cure Office holders had better stand
from under" # such an attempt IS made,
for the people will not tolerate It for a
second. The Times Democrat is usually
safe and sane in all Ii says, but we
sincerely trnst that It was mistaken this
time.

THE ELECTION
The Nominees Are ]. H. Eastman for
Mayor, S. C. Fullilove for Con1rnis-
sioner of Public Safety, and w, S.
Atkins for Commissioner OF Streets
and Parks-The Opposition Surprised

|. The election held Tuesday for the
nomination of three candidates neces-
sary to complete the officers provided
under the system of Government by
Commission adopted on September IS
by a majority of SIS, resulted in sur
prise to the friends of Mayor Dickson,
J, F. Fisher and DR.. ]. NJ. Ledbetter.
The Dickson men were confident of suc-
cess and many of them were boastf,ll of
a majority ranging from 100 to $50, bit
the more conservative were confident
OF the defeat of Eastman by narrow
margin, as well as of Atkins, with a
doubt as to Fullilove.
From the Caucasian's view the cleo
ton of Eastman, Ful1ilove and Atkins
seemed to be assured, except as TO the
majority. The basis for this reckoning
was on the vote given for the Cotnmis-
sion Government with its majority of
SIS votes.
As there was involved principle in
this issue, it was natural to assume that
sufficient number of votes given for
the Commission Government would go
to the candidates who did not straddle
but were firm and consistent from the
beginning to the end
The success of the three gentlemen
nominated is significant. Il comes to a
class of the City Of Shreveport as a
revelation. It means new order of
things Il is the forernnner Of better
government when the laws silal be en-
forced and the dignity of the conmun-
ity shall Be maintained by officials who
will not encourage, by inaction and in
difference, the disregard of law. In
brief. the result is as follows:
For Mayor Fl. Eastman 1850, S. A.

TO AGREE ON LAWS
Coal Operators and Coal Miners
Have joint Conference in
Helena.

Helena, Nov. 29-TO secure the re-
vision of the laws governing coal min
ing in this state by the forthcoming
legislature, a joint conference was
convened in Helena this week between
committees representing the Montana
Coal Operators association and the
United Mine Workers of district No.
81. The committee representing the
coal operators consists of f. w. G.
Whyte of Anaconda, G. G. Anderson
of Red Lodge and Thomas Burke Of
Billings, commissioner of the Mon
tana association. The coal miners
are represented by Alexander Fair
grieve of Billings, president of the
United Mine Workers, district No.
27; Henry Bremen Of Bear Creek,
vice president of the mine workers,
and John Morton of Sand Coulee.
This is said to be the first confer
ence of the kind ever held in Montana
between employers and employees to
secure the enactment by harmonious
means of legislation vitally etfecting
both parties.
Montana, it is asserted, has prac-
tically no laws relating to the opera
tion of the coal mines, those on the
statute books now having been enact
ed when Montana was still territory
and coal mining was still in itr infan-
cy. The codifcation of the laws gov
erning the operation of coal mines is
desired by both operators and miners.
