In making reconan ndations relative
to taxation legislation, deem II ad-
visable to call your attention TO two
features OF our new state constitution.

other the limitations OF the subjects OF
taxation that shall hereafter contribute

THE BOSSES DIVIDE.

The conduct of Mr.. Ewing of New
Orleans, one of the chief election
bosses OF the city, and the principal
owner of the Daily States and the
Shreveport Times, in refusing to
support Mr.. Michel, has created
some surprise among the politicians.
The States has been considered the
organ of the administration and it
was counted on to support Michel
Homer Guardian Journal.
What may be called the political
detection between the seventeen
Bosses of the city of New Orleans
| is never serious nor lasting. In this
instance it is as a grand stand play
to the galleries. Michel is an adept
and an expert at the game. He I'M
derstands the full meaning of the
moves. Aswell may be the stalking
horse for Michel, and not the least,
Governor Sanders, who is pro-
grammed for the United States Sen
ate.
To divide the Aswell and the Hall
vote throughout the State, and es-
peeially in North Louisiana, is ap-
parently if not designedly part of
the game.
This estrangement between the
Boss of the Tenth Ward and the six
teen other Bosses, of whom Michel
is one, is not serious. It is in the
play.
The Bosses of New Orleans have
never been known to be or to re-
main long divided when the emolu-
ments of office are involved. The
inevitable happy reconciliation of
the Bosses who are never disunited
except for purpose or for effect,
will not fail at the gathering Of the
faithful at the festive board.
Seriously, if Michel and Hall were
in the second primary, who would
the Boss Of the Tenth Ward sup
port?
The play of the bosses is to beguiIe
the dear people, but the dear people
will not be beguiled by the Bosses
of New Orleans.

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT.

We Indignantly point to the out
rageous conduct of thousand DEM
ocrats who claimed to be the repre-
sentatives of fifty-one parishes, get
ting together openly, braZenly, and
even shamelessly inviting the world
to come and see them make Us a
slate. It's a damshame, this viola
ton Of the principle of the primary
law.-Crowley Signal.
1t is worse than a damshame. 1t
is a direct meddling with the politi-
cal prerogatives Of the Bosses of
New Orleans.
The seventeen Ward Bosses of
New Orleans should arise and de-
nounce in words unreserved this
getting together openly, braZenly
and even shamelessly," this getting
together of a thousand Democrats
who have assumed the right to for
mulate platform and have en-
dorsed a gentleman to become can
didate of the Democracy of Louis
lana for nomination of governor at
the Democratic primary on Janu-
airy 1912.
Well may we eXclaim whittier
are we drifting" when we reflect
that a thousand Democrats have
openly, brazenly and even shame
lessly'' defied the Tenth Ward Boss
and his friends, and sixteen Ward
Bosses and their friends, one and all
of the parish of Orleans, who have
brazenly and even shamelessly slated
the candidates of their own choice
for governor without consulting the
people.

A Dangerous and Suspicious Char
actpP

Lake Charles American Press
From being merely an undesirable
citizen, Hon. John NJ. Parker has
transformed himself into a danger
Gus and suspicious character by
having the criminal sheriff and jailer
indicted. Some weeks ago fourteen
election officers who violated the
law in an uncontested election were
given Jail sentences. Parker of the
adamantine heart wants them kept
in Jail, and merely because they
were let out every day or so to enjoy
few rounds of drinks and stretch
their legs on Canal street. has hur-
ried to the grand jury with a COM
plant. We appreciate the feelings
of the esteemed States. Shall men
who are sent to Jail be cooped up
there day after day, with nc relaxa-
ton? Are there to be no TRUSTEES ?''
Is the mandate of the law going to
stand between convicted criminals
and their life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness? Are the manners and
customs of office holders whose
friends occasionally are in bad" to
be ruthlessly trampled underfoot?
Alas! as far as the grand jury is con-
cerned, it certainly looks as though
they are.

BOARD OF PARDON
Lon T. Irvine Recommended for
Ciemency, as Is Calvin Ballard.


At their sitting in New Orleans
Wednesday the Board Of Pardon re-
commended pardons as follows:
Calvin Ballard, who shot and killed
lis brother about eighteen months
ago about a woman; was convicted
or manslaughter and sentenced to
ten years. He has served about a
year and six months.
Lon T. Irvine, convicted af man
slaughter and sentenced to five
years. Has served about one year.
He was foreman Of the Kansas City
Southern local engine which Collid-
ed with a passenger train OF the
Texas and Pacific. Three persons
were killed and several were in
.jured.
Felcy Searles, a negro, convicted
of manslaughter, and Della Adams,
a negress, convicted of assault and
battery and sentenced to two years.
E. L. Tombin, a white man, con-
victed of violating the prohibition
law.
The Board of Pardon denied par
don for Henry Sibley, who murdered
DR.. NJ. NJ. White. He was convicted
of manslaughter and sentenced to
seven years and has serve dabout
eighteen months.
William Green, negro, convicted
of perjury, was denied pardon.
PardOns are obtained easily and
the only wonder is that Sibley failed
to be recommended for clemency.
The penalty for the manslaughter
cases aggregates twenty years, Of
which the prisoners have served al
together -four years.
There may have been considered
-favorably the plea for clemency in
the case of Irvine, but there were no
eXtenuating circumstances applica-
BILE in the other cases. 1t is no Won
der that life is held at little value in
Caddo parish and the State of Louis
lana,

RansdelI for the Senate.

Congressman Joseph E. Ransdell,
candidate to succeed Senator Muir
ply J. Foster, has announced that
he is entirely satisfied with his pro
gress, and he is being encouraged ny
his friends throughout the State. As
between Congressman Ransdell and
Senator Foster there should be i-.tle
hesitancy in choice. While Rams
dell has leanings to Republican pro-
lection, his alignment on party is
sues has been more consistent and in
accord with Democratic principles
and teachings than Senator Fosters.

New Variety of Boss"

st. Francisville True Democrat: If
Mr.. Parker is a boss, he does not
bear the earmarks of the creature
usually designated by that name: A
boss who asks nothing for himself
either in place or pelf, who has in
sisted that the books of the league
shall be open to inspection, and has
given his services to reform without
price. This sort Of boss is so differ
ent from the kind that Louisiana is
accustomed to that it will take all
the transcendent ability Of the New
Orleans States to teach the populace
this new definition to old, obnoxious
word.

Primary Election.

Mansfield Enterprise: The primary
election law as amended by Act 400
OF 1908 provides that where there is
no second election for governor,
there shall be no second primary for
the rest of the State ticket, but that
a plurality shall nominate. However,
this does not apply to parish officers.

receive majority of the votes cast
