that pest hole of humanity,

| that pest hole of humanity, "our
condemned criminal classes" l am
in hearty accord with the trend Of
public thought of the day, approved
| by the mind and the heart of the
best men and best women of the
| world, that something should be done
for the uplift and redemption of our
condemned criminal classes. 'Once
q criminal, thereafter, to be always
condemned as a criminal and forced
to live among the criminal classes, -
is a conclusion, that has absolutely
no foundation in honest reason, nor
in honest justice. No law is a wise
law. that destroys the self respect
and manhood of the individual, mere
~ to reek vengeance upon his body.
This idea belongs to the barbarous
ages, and justly has no place in the
enlightened Christianity of our day
and time. l am no morbid sentimen-
talist. But, / do earnestly believe
the power to punish, as vested by law
in the person of the Judge, should
In some cases be discreetly exercised.
This power, rightly and wisely used
may in many instances be the means
Of turning from the pathway of crime
the youth of our fair land. 1t seems
to me, wiser to adopt those methods
that tend to prevent crime, rather
than to use our endeavors to merei;
punish the commission of crime. If
wise use Of the power to punish
can accomplish this end, ito pre-
vent crime," at least, 1t is worthy of
and entitled to 4 fair and honest
trial.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE 18th
JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF LA.

After mature reflection, and con-
sultation with my friends through
out the District, have concluded to
enter the race for the Judgship, and
take this means to publicly announce
my candidacy for this high Office.
/ feel assured, that you, the peo-
pie, know, without any declaration
from me, what principles stand for.
l have no elaborate platform to Of
fer you in connection with my candi-
dacy for this high office now seek,
as platforms at best, are, in my
humble opinion, mere paper prep
arations." The only platform have
is and consists of but one plank
Duty The only promise l can
make you, and the only one l will
make you, is to do my duty intelli-
gently, equitobly, hororably. In con-
'nection with this assurance, | desire
to submit you the following state
|ment for your considerations:
The law of the land is supreme.
and must be obeyed. Obedience to
the law is the truest and highest test
of good citizenship. Contempt for
the law is a breeder of disorder; dis
order is a breeder OF violence and
defiance of constituted authority;
violence and defiance of lawful au-
thority>is the canker worm that slow
~ but surely destroys the very vitals
of the life of the community, of the
State, and of the nation. Law must
be enforced, good order must be
maintained, that, the people may
thereby be secured and safeguarded
in their liberty, and in pursuit of
their various avocations, which tend
to bring them peace, prosperity and
happiness. In my humble opinion,
the surest and wiscst way to secure
this necessary and much desired con-
dition, is by q wise, economical, con-
scientious and equitable enforcement
OF the law. Punishment for the ccm-
mission of crime, is necessity. A
law declaring a certain act 2 crime
without providing punishment or
penalty for is violation, would be q
law without binding force or effect
in fact, it would be absolutely use
less law. Punishment, is a conse-
/ quence of crime, and naturally fol
lows its ION Fcweve~ The
administering Of punishment should
not be with the sole idea to rcek
| vengeance upon the criminal, but
rather as q deterrent to the future
commission of crime.
| 1t seems to me the Judge of the
court, holds In the hollow of his
hand. an influence that may go very
! far in saving from a criminal career
II not the older man. at least, the
| young man brought before his court
! BY a wise administration Of punish
ment, the Judge, may be an influence
| to turn the footsteps of the youns
man away from the path of crime
which eventually must lead him L

be wisely maintained. This mutua
confidence between tho people and
the court can be q factor for the bet
terment of every community in the
District, and It will have tendency
to a fairer and better administration
of justice. l also earnestly believe
tha. there should be at al times .
cordial and courteous intercourse
between the Bar and the Cou't
Courteous intercourse and cordial
understanding between the practic-
ing attorney before the Court and
the Court, is very necessary factor
in the administration of Justice, and
in the enforcement and execution O.
the law, and the peoples business
can be thereby carried on more ex-
peditiously II elected Judge, it will
be my aim and purpose to cndeavor
to maintain courteous and cordial
understanding and intercourse be-
tween the Bar and the Court. The
more expeditiously the business Of
the Court is carried on, the less cost
it will be to the tax payer. It seems
to me, the Judge can be factor in
lessening the high costs of the ad.
ministration of justice. and, ii he
can, then I pledge you my word, j
will use my best endeavors to lessen
this burden of the tax payer, as ia,
as it Hes in my power. and is con-
sistent with . proper administration
of the law.
In conclusion, permit me to say
have served the people Of st. Tam
many parish In various Official ca
pacities, and have served the re0
pie of this Judicial District as their
District Attorney for the term of four
years. feel assured that every fair
minded man throughout the District
knows have performed the duties o.
every ONCE to which | have been
elected, honestly. conscientiously
without favor, and without prejudice
II elected to the Judgship, shall bt
equally careful and consci ientious in
the discharge of its duties. as have
been in the discharge Of the duties
of those omces with which the peo-
pie have honored me In the past.
know l am professionally and ed
uoationally fitted to fulfill the func.
|tions and discharge the duties of the
ONCE of Judge, and feel, by my past
ohlcial and public services | am just
ly entitled to the promotion now

uneasy troubled sleep. He did not
know whether she slumbered or
whether she had tainted again. He
did not dare to stop to find out, his
strength was almost spent; in this last
effort the strain upon his muscles
was almost as great as it had been in
the whirlpool. For the second time
that day the sweat stood out on his
forehead, his legs trembled under him
How he made the last five hundred
feet up the steep wall to a certain
broad shelf perhaps an acre in extent
where he had built his hut among the
mountains, he never knew; but the
last remnant Of his force was spent
when he finally opened the unlatched
door with his foot, carried her in the
log hut and laid her upon the bed or
bunk built against one wall Of the
cabin.
Yet the way he put her down was
characteristic Of the man That last
Vestige Of strength had served him
well. He did not drop her as a less
thoughtful and less determined man
might have done, he laid her there as
gently and as tenderly as if she
weighed nothing, and as if he had car.
ried her nowhere. So quiet and easy
was his handling of her that she did
not wake up at once.
So soon as she was out Of his armR.
he stood up and stared at her in great
alarm, which soon gave way to reas.
surance. She had not tainted, there
was little tinge Of color in her cheek
that had rubbed up against his rough
hunting coat; she was asleep, her reg.
ular breathing told him that. Sleep
was Of course the very best Of medi.
cines for her, and yet she should not
be allowed to sleep until she had got
rid of her wet clothing and until
something had been done for her
wounded foot. 1t was indeed an en-
barrassing situation.
He surveyed her for few moments
wondering how best to begin. Then
realizing the necessity for immediate
action, he bent over her and woke her
wilderment until he spoke.
This is my house." he said, 1--WE
are home"
"Home!" sobbed the girl.
Under shelter, then" said the man.
''You are very tired and very sleepy,
but there is something to be done;
you must take off those wet clothes
at once, you must have something to
eat, and l must have a look at that
foot, and then you can have your
sleep out"
The girl stared at him, his program,
If radical one under the circum.
stances, was nevertheless a ratiopal
one, indeed the only one. How was it
to be carried out? The man easily
OWNED her thoughts.
There is another room in this
house:Sa store room. 1 cook in there"
he said. II am going in there now to
get you something to eat; meanwhile
you must undress yourself and go to
bed"
He went to a rude set Of box-like
shelves draped with a curtain, appar-
ently his own handiwork, against the
wall, and brought from It long and
somewhat shapeless woolen gown.
) ''Yo1 can wear this to sleep in," he
continued First of all, though, / am
going to have look at that foot"
He bent down to where her wound
