BONDS CARRIED
DeSoto Parish Is To Have New
Court House.

Mansfield, La, April 26--Official re.
turns from IS of the 10 precincts give
a majority of goo in favor of the $Gooooc
bond issue to DcSoto parish for court
house at Mansfield. Only two boxes
went against the proposition.
The old court house at Mansfield was
condemned last year. Its condition was
so dangerous that it was decided to find
new quarters for the court
AS it became necessary to provide for
a new structure Grand Cane proposed
the removal of the parish seat The
police jury, however, ordered a tax for
a new court house at Mansfield, $4,000
to be spent on the building and SIS, 1000
for equipment A noisy campaign re-
suited, the principal ground of the oppo-
sition being that 100000 was too much
to spend on the structure The result
Of the campaign is decisive victory for
those who stood for progress.

THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS OF
ORLEANS.

The Good Government League is
closely watching the registrar of voters
in New Orleans This is cruel on their
part, and if they don't quit their fool
ishness they may interfere with that old
established city industry Of stufing bal
lot boxes. The city bosses plaintively
complain that dead men are entirely use
less if you can't vote en- Mansfield
Enterprise.
The registrar of the parish of Or
leans is an all-important factor, a power
in politics. This office has been filled
for years by men endorsed by the bosses
and the ring. The commotion aroused
by the attempted removal by Governor
Blanchard of the registrar of Orleans
parish may be recalled The registrar
resisted by every means known to law,
and on tecllnicalities held his office until
his successor was inducted into office
after Governor Blanchard had been sue
ceeded BY Sanders
A cleaning and clearing Of the re-
cord Of the registration lists of New
Orleans would remove the usefulness OF
men long since dead, but are revived on
days Of election by the heelers who
dance readily at the command Of the
ring.

TIRED OF TIE BUNS.

From The Youths Instructor A con-
vention Of bartenders was held at Eu-
cid Beach Park, one of the very few
dry pleasure resorts in Cleveland.
One of the men when asked, why did
you fellows pick out Euclid Beach Park,
a temperance resort, for your conven-
ton replied: "Because we are mp
against the buns every working day Of
our lives, and when we take day off we
want to get clear of the crowd Why,
then, should the liquor men object SO
strenuously because temperance people
are working to free every day from the

THE INCOME TAX SEEMS AS
SHRED

On last Thursday, says the New Or
leans States, the State Senate of New
York ratified the proposed income taN
amendment of the Constitution by a
vote of IS to IS, and similar action by
the lower house of the Legislature is as
sured. New York had been reckoned
confidently against the amendment, and
its transfer to the colrnun of states in
favor of the tax will, in effect, prove to
be more than numerical. The fact that
New York, the most populous and most
wealthy of all the states, favors the
amendment will give an impetus to the
movement to ratify i'll those common
wealths whose legislatures have not yet
acted
Sentiment in favor of the proposed
amendment has already declared itself
in New Jersey and Massachusetts. while
in Arkansas and also in Maine it has
led to a reversal of the former vote Of
the legislatures against it.
It is highly probable, therefore, that
ratification by the necessary three
fourths of the states will be secured, and
that the Congress will be so amended as
to empower Congress to levy Federal
income tax.
This power the government of the
United States was supposed to possess,
says the New York Evening Post, until
the Supreme Court decided to the con
trary several years ago. Irrespective of
the desirability of such tax, 1t has been
strongly felt by many that Congress
ought to be clothed with the authority
to levy it, In some national emergency
resort to it might be almost necessary
to financial salvation Nearly every
other government in the world has the
power to impose income taxes, and many
Americans have believed that
their own ought not TO be shorn of it.
President Taft expressed that view in
his message to Congress, and it has TN
had much weight in turn
ing the scales i'll favor of the amend
ment

PROHIBITION IN CADDO.

Homer Guardian Journal: There is
generally more violation of the law dur
ing the first few years after prohibition
has been declared than after it has be-
come firmly established When the peo-
pie once find out that the officers are de
tcrniTned to enforce the prohibition law,
the violators will not be 50 many and
the criminal expenses of the courts will
not be SO great. We venture to sug-
eest that ii the prohibition laws of Cad
do are enforced for a period OF FIVE
years, that after that time the expenses
Of criminal prosecutions viii not be SO
great as when the open saloon prevailed.
When the officers rout the bootleggers
and close the blind tigers, the prosecu-
tions will not be 50 numerous. When
we refer to enforcing the prohibition
law we mean in a reasonable way, as
any other criminal statute is enforced.
We do not expect absolute enforcement
of any criminal statute.
When a certain class Of people have
free access to whiskey, they drink more
than when they have to procure it from
a blind tiger or ship it from some other
place, and they are more apt to violate
the criminal laws when drinking than
when sober.
