DOGS AS POLICE.
Captain p. H. Coney Suggests They
Be Tried in Topeka.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The following is from a New York
paper:
New York-A batch of Belgian
sheep dogs will be added to the New
1ork police force next week. The
dogs in charge Of Lieutenant George
Wakefield. will arrive on one of Sat
urdayS steamer and will at once be
broken in for work in New York s
suburbs.
Wakefield was sent to Europe some
time ago. to study the manners and
customs of the police dogs of Paris
and Client. The lieutenant reported
that he was favorably impressed with
the dogs of Client and he was ordered
with
Wakefield, in his report, said that
the Belgian sheep dog is suspicious of
anybody out at night without a uni
form. They make it almost impos-
slole for any person to force an en-
trance into house while the dog is
anywhere in sight. Moreover the
Belgian dog will run after a fleeing
person, twist between his legs or in
pinch, use his teeth to stop the pur-
sued Bloodhounds will also be taught
TO trail malefactors. Fifteen of them
have been secured and are being
trained for the work"
These dogs are life savers. and peace
and good order preservers. The in
human dog fighters of Topeka should
join in bringing about a safer condi-
ton of affairs in Topeka by sending
for a pack of these dogs and policing
the city with them, to stop burglary
and larceny on the peaceful people of
this city at night and day, and the
thieves never captured. Dogs are
the cheapest. safest and best watch
ers and burglar proof guards and
catchers. They are life savers; they
are more sanitary, moral and cOmpan-
ionable than the average police Off
Ger that come when called. Dogs are
boon and a blessing that are indis-
pensable to man and woman. They
are the only absolutely steadfast and
constantly reliable friend.

JENNINGS Citizen ADVANCES
some SOUND ARGUMENT
Would Consider POsterity Rather
Than Present Wishes in Locat-
ing the Parish Seat.

In a lengthy article signed Citizen"
appearing in Wednesdays issue of the
Jennings Record, the writer advances
the following argument that is highly
pertinent to the question of locating
the parish seat in the CENTER of the
parish rather than over on the border,
The writer says;
IAN error made in this campaign is
permanent wrong to coming genera.
tons. The man that votes to place
parish seat of Jefferson Davis parish
in the wrong place is voting upon his
poSterity and the posterity of his
children for generations to come a load
Of labor and regret. 1t may be nice
thing to crow over and laugh about
now, but it may cause their children
to curse their memory"
This is sound argument and worthy
Of all consideration. An error made
in the election Tuesday is a permanent
wrong to coming generations. The
location Of the parish seat at this time
on the extreme eastern border Of the
parish, where it will force many of the
inhabitants Of the parish to take two
or three days to go to court and re-
turn, merely in order to satisfy Jen
ningS' greed, when the same could be
located in Welsh the center of the
parish, and be within easy driving
distance Of the entire parish, would
indeed be greViOuS wrong to gener
atoms yet unborn. While, as the
author says it might be something fol
some to 'croW about and laugh oVel
now" it would certainly cause future
generations to cOndem and curse Tx
cupidity Of their fOrefathers, VIII:
through motives the most selfish, hat
taken such an unfair advantage O
generations yet unborn.
Mr.. Voter are you going to be on
upon whose head unborn generation
will heap condemnation, simply t
crafty the greed of a bunch OF Jer
nings politicians? We do not beliey
you are. We believe you will 60 t
the polls next Tuesday and vote t
place the parish seat in the CENTEl
of the parish where it will work II
injustice upon any section, or CON
; munity.

PRED?
Nor does the distrust with which
the people of Jennings hold their
city officials and their acts end
here. Not content with repudiating
the official acts of her officers within
the past two years Jennings insti-
tuted impeachment proceedings
against her mayor, ana forced his
resignation, and within the year she
has also brought impeachment pro-
ceedings against members OF the
city council, which resulted In an
appeal to the courts.
Since Jennings herself esteems
her promises and the action OF her
city officials SO slightly, why should
they expect the people Of the parish
to put much faith in them?
1t is a we'll known fact that 1t IL
very difficult to enforce any law OF

the people are back of it. There il

The removal OF state licenses except

The amendment orders the assessors
to print maps of the parishes and marx

which they value the land and the ng'
ura at which they value their improve

at percentage of the value, and thlS
percentage must apply equally on all

are made alphabetically, as they are al
