A recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the State is to
the effect that citizens registering
under the educational qualifica-
ton must not receive assistance
in making out their applications,
and if it be shown that they have
done so, their names must be
stricken from the rolls as invalid,
and the registration null and void.
The court goes further, and states
that similarly a citizen offering
to vote at any election can not if
registered under the educational
qualification, request and obtain
assistance in making out his bal
lot, and if he so does he is liable
to prosecution under the penalty
clause of the election law.
This is no doubt as it should
be, for if a man can make out
the application for registration
himself. he can surely fill out the
ticket submitted for him to vote.
This decision should put an end
to the too frequent abuse Of this
practice at our electiOns.-Ber-

MOST DISCREDITABLE IF
TRUE.

The Picayune prints this morn
ing some statements from respect
able and responsible sources that
reflect seriously on the honor OF
Judge Luther E. Hall, now of the
Supreme Court of Louisiana and
for years previously on the dis
trict bench of the state. The
matter is given in detail else
where, and if the statements are
to be credited they show that
Judge Hall not only speculated
in cultures" in the gambling con-
Germs that were known as "buck-
et-shops," contrary to law, but
that when he won he accepted
his profit. but when he lost he
welched"- is, he refused
to pay his losses. and, although
those transactions occurred some
years ago, he has refused up to
this time to pay.
Well, in that part of the trans
action the judge has the law on
his side, for gambling debts can
not be collected by any judicial
procedure. He has the dead
wood" on his creditors, who must
have known at the time that col
lection could not be enforced, but
doubtless believed that a judge
who would court fortune in ways
contrary to good morals would
consider his losses debts Of honor.
But he has the law on his side and
his victims have no recourse.
After all, it may not be such a
wicked thing to bet on chances.
play the ponies or make deals in
bucket shops, law or no law, but
it is highly dishonorable to refuse
to pay the debts so contracted.
There is something inexpressibly
dishonorable in that sort Of
thing.
The Picayune does not know
whether these statements are true
or not, and hopes they are not,
because if true they would ever
lastingly d;scredit the man who
set such an example, whether a
high public official charged with
high public trusts or "a plain citi-
zen. A man may fail to pay his
debts because Of actual inability.
but he will not welch on debts Of
honor. He will at least acknowl-
edge them and promise to pay
when he can.

OUACHITA PEOPLE KNEW
TIE FACTS ABOUT
JUDGE HALL.

Monroe, La. Dec. 19-The dis
closures made during the past
few days in connection with
Judge Halls alleged bucket-shop
hpculation in copper stock was
no surprise to the people Of Mon
roe, as the subject has been pub
lie property here for the past
three or four months, and had
been freely discussed on both
sides,
Some of Judge Halls friends
who are familiar with the his
tory Of the case and the negotia-
tions since the charge was made,
admit that it is true. They real
ize that the disclosures will hurt
the league candidate in other
parts Of the state. The situation
in Monroe will not be materially
changed, as the lines here are al
ready tightly drawn.

WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO?

The present congress it is now
predicted will be one Of the long
set drawn out of any that has
been convened in many years and
it is believed that the progressive ve
element of the Republicans and
the Democrats have it in their
power to and will make it a rec
ord d-breaker from a legislative
standpoint.
It is also believed that = sub
stantial reduction of the tariff is
a panacea for many ills to which
the country has fallen heir under
Republican, legislation and that
when the tariff has been reduced
to a revenue basis the high cost
of living and normal state, which
of itself would undoubtedly be
welcomed by more American fam
lilies than any other one thing that
could possibly happen.
The American farmer and wage
Garner know that the scale Of
wages and farm products lin the
hands of the producer) has not
increased correspondingly with
the increased price Of living, that
the high tariff protect the trust
and that the trust controls the
price to very large extent.
If the Democrats and the pro-
gressive wing Of the Republican
party in congress should succeed
IS it seems they will in passing
tariff measures consistent with
their ideas and should the presi-
dent veto them as he did those
passed at the last extra session
of congress it would defer the re-
lief the consumers are demanding
and expecting, but it would just
as certainly insure Taft's defeat
should he be the nominee Of :he
Republican party for president
which it now looks like he will be.
It would not stop at that, for the
election of Democratic congress
along with a Democratic presi-
dent for the people are tired of
promised relief and the stand-pat
Republicans are very much in
earnest about tariff reform that
they at least expect to give part
Of the relief sought and are so
very much in earnest that no par
ty can sway them from the plain
duties they owe to self and family
as has been done in the past, for
while the average laborer or far
mer may not be able to give an
intelligent definition Of the tariff
or its operations, he can readily
tell you the difference between
the purchasing power Of dollar
now compared with what it once
was.
If the tariff reduction bills
should pass the house and senate
and Taft should sign them he
would be entitled to very little Of
the credit for the benefits derived.
as he has shown quite satisfac-
torily where his real interest lies,
and with whom he is in sympathy.

Lightning Kills Few.

In 1906 lightning killed only

is vastly greater. but not if Elec-
