THE APPOTNTIVE POWER
Is the Bane Of Politics and is Subvers-
i've of Good Government.

Ruston Leader: Appointive power is
the bane of politics, a dangerous tempt
alton and subversive of good govern
ment. It deprives citizens of one Of
their dearest rights, places in the way
of the executive a temptation hard to
resist, because few men can or will re-
sist the temptation to use it for the
achievement Of their own ambitious
ends and to reward faithful friends;
and ambition is conlmendable when
properly directed and restrained, while
it is perfectly natural to want to reward
friends; but the trouble is that in re-
warding friends the one exercising this
authority cares but little or nothing as
to whether the public will benefit by it
or not, so that he strengthens his own
position and reaches the goal of his am
bition
1t is continual temptation to cor
rupt legislators and muzzle the press,
and does tlo il, and when this is accom-
|plished the liberties of the people are
gone and the country ruined Men,
without intending to do so, often sub
nit TO being shackled, to secure a favor
for either themselves or their friends,
and then have not the will power and
moral courage to burst the bonds.
The safety of government demands
the repeal of all laws creating appoint
i've offices, thus removing the temptation
and giving the people the right to
choose their own public servants.

WHO WILL GUARANTEE.

The inconsistency in the would-be
regulators of the saloon as proposed by
a committee of citizens, is manifest in
in the fact that the same men, the deal
ers in booze, who have defied the law
of prohibition, who have been convicted,
imprisoned and have been assigned to
the public roads, will again be permit
ted, if they are so inclined, to engage
in the saloon business regulated" Who
of the committee of fifteen can, or who
will guarantee that these men will pay
any attention to any of the proposed re-
strictions on the saloon?

"a SQUARE DEAL
The Police Jury Considered Favorably
the Request of the Pros for Equal
Apportionment of Commissioners and
Clerks for the Election on June 1.

!, 1t is gratifying to note that the Po-
lice Jury of Caddo Parish at their reg
ular meeting this morning gave fav-
orable consideration to the Pros for an
equal apportionment of the comtms-
sioners and the clerks for the election
fixed for June I.
In attendance was a committee of the
Pros comprising more than fifty citl-
zens who were represented by R. l..
Douglas, one of the jurors from Ward
one.
Preceding the calling of the jury to
order Juror Douglas and W. I. CraW-
ford, president of the jury, had con-
ference.
Having called the Police Jury to
order, President Crawford requested
Juror Winter to take his seat as presi-
dent, and then in brief address he an
nounced that he was in favor of amend
ing the list of the commissioners and
the clerks so that each of the contest
ants would have fair representation at
each poll He had nd part in choosing
or suggesting the selection of the COM
missioners and the clerks, and he had
Believed they were satisfactory, but
while he was an Anti he would never
be guilty of any unfairness, and he did
not think that any of the jurors in
tended to be unfair
In explanation Juror Winter stated
that he was unwilling TO make change,
and to amend or reconsider the action
of the jury would be construed as
reflection of discredit He was an Anti,
but he was fair, and he did not thing
that any of his friends would charge
him with unfairness.
Jurors Douglas and Scott replied that
no discredit could be implied whenever
the jury placed itself right
President Crawford added that he
did not construe any change in the
commissioners and the clerks as a re-
Election on the jury or any of the COM
miss;oners and clerks. Ii was the right
of the jury to make such changes as
were necessary, and he would favor
such changes.
The altitude of President Crawford
was cheered and applauded with clap
ping of hands and stamping of feet
For few minutes the enthusiasm was
intense.
The motion of President Crawford
that committee Of four of the jury,
two Ants and two Pros, be named to
amend and revise the commissioners
and clerks so that each side would be
apportioned as equal representation as
would be practicable, was sustained by
the following vote Crawford, Doug
las, Wynn, Burney. Miller, Mahlen,
POLICEMAN, Smith, Nagle, Sebastian and
Scott.
Jurors Winter and Fisher voted no.
It was further provided that the
necessary rules for the government of
the election on June be provided by
District Attorney J. NJ. Foster with
President Crawford
The names of the commissioners and.
clerks for this election are embraced in
the proclamation Of the election in this
issue.

THE FARM LANDS CONGRESS

THE FARM LANDS CONGRESS.
The three days session of the Farm
Lands Congress held in Monroe was
successful notwithstanding the presence
of number of old time seeking and

Lands Congress has no connection with
politics. Its aim is to develop the re-
sources of the State. 1t has since its
organization created demand for
Louisiana farm lands and has been the
medium of attracting investors of capi-
