A Deterrent to Crime.

Maine. the pioneer State of the
Union in the prohibition move-

small majority. The traffic is still
entrenched in the appetites of the
people; which means they will still
struggle for its Iegalized re-lnstate-
ment.
Because prohibition laws are
fiaerantly broken furnishes no ar
gulnent whatever against the right
eousness of the reform; but rather
should impress the thoughtful with

preference to what one needs. We
do not need strong drink.
In the face of all developments
against the use of liquor, the woe,

We don't want the common laws

broken every day and night in the

against liquor that contributes to
every crime in the catalogue re-
pealed, either. Because a few
gentlemen can drink and not get

Every law that seeks to deter the

otherwise. 1t is disIoyalty to the

SHERIFF AND JUROR CLASH.
Trouble Has Origin in Grand Jury's
Investigation Of Election
Methods.

Feeling growing out of the ex-
pose and probe of the Lincoln
county grand jury in Investigating
various alleged unlawful methods
used in the August primaries came
near resulting in a personal en-
counter yesterday before court
met, in the court house corridor
between Sheriff Estus e. Smith
and j. G. johnson. one of the mem
bers Of this weeks petit juries.
johnson called Deputy Sheriff
Jesse M. Smith. who is a kinsman
Of the sheriff. off to one side. maxi
ing the statement that he had
heard that the head law officer of
the county had been circulating a
report that he (Johnson) had offer
ed to sell his vote to Smith for
$4,000. and had so reported it to
the grand jury. johnson reiterat-
ed several times in a loud voice
the fact that 1T was -- -
lie. and anyone who said SO was a
liar
The sheriff passed about this
time and johnson again made the
remark.
Smith, who is very unassuming
young man. walked up to Johnson
and quietly said: IF you make
that statement again I'll mash
your face in. didn't tell the
grand jury you offered to sell me
your vote for $4,000. but did tell
them you offered it for Sis 90 and
you are a liar if you deny it. 7"

The Election Frauds
in Louisiana


The best way, the only way in
deed. to restore throughout Louisi-
ana the good name Of New Orleans
in the matter Of elections is BY re-
forming the abuses that have exist
ed and by Furnishing those guilty of
them, for the people Of the entire
State know that the registration,
primaries and elections held in this
city under the domination. control
and management of the present
ring have been among the rottenest
in the Union.
The last State primary in New
Orleans was without exception the
rottenest ever held in the United
States. The frauds committed then
were successful. for they defeated
the will of the voters of the State
and placed in high Office man re-
iected by them. No remedy could
be found for this outrage. and no
one was ever punished or arrested,
or even criticized, for this stuffing
of 10000 fraudulent ballots in the
boxes.
The last election. that of justice
Of the Supreme Court, was, in the
brazen wantonness of the electoral
frauds committed. the most in
famous ever known, the boxes be-
ing stuffed by the tools Of the ring,
some of them holding public office.
for mere spite. to show their utter
contempt for the voters and for
our election laws. And it will be
further remembered as significant
that none of the hundreds Of State
officials paid to conduct our elec-
tions. and whose duty 1t is to see
that they are honest, could find
anything wrong in the Sommerville
lelection; indeed. there is no record
| in recent Louisiana history of any
official even entering charge OF
election fraud against a crook; and
no instance of any crook ever being
published for bis crimes. except in
the case Of the fourteen officers re-
cently detected and exposed by the
Democratic Good Government
League.
No one inagines for a minute
that these are the only election
crooks in the employ Of the ring
no one believes that the short i'm
prisonment Of the men is going tc
prevent their brother crooks from
trying to stuff the ballot boxes in
January. Eternal vigilance will
alone prevent this. There must be
| a constant and ever vigilant wal
against the ballot-box thieves until
honest elections are restored IN
New Orleans; and this is to be ac-
complished BY keeping the matter
before the public until this great
victory ID won. It is going to be
hard work: and nothing il to be
gained BY the policy Of blindness.

D. d. Simmons, former marshal
of Norfield, was tried on an afti-
davit charging the offense of un-
lawful retailing against the ordi-
nances of the village of Norfield.
The principal State witness is a
negro named Lamar Adams, who
stated that he sold one case Of beer
and part of another for Mr.. Sim
mons. According to his state
ment the negro sold the liquor and
was to get a stipulated sum for his
work, the beer in each instance
being purchased with money
furnished by Simmons. In order
to make out case the State intro
duced the ordinances of the Village
of Nortield, and the court excluded
them because they were void, hav-
ing never been enacted and put in
force according to law. The de-
fendant was therefore acquitted.
