AS A LAWYER.

After reproducing the editorial from
this paper, headed Pleading The
Baby Act" the Plaquemine Champion
comments along the same line stroug
ly, as follows:
Mr. Ponder expects the simple
statement of the fact ''he is law,
YER and the job was in his line,
to justify him in accepting it and
raking in $4,000 of the peoples mon
ey every year, which there was no
law to cover, will make matters all
right, SO far as he is concerned. But
in this he is, mistaken. The fact CT
his being a lawyer made it possible
Tor him to know that there was no
law on the statute books allowing
him to take this money from the cof-
ters OF the people; yet he took it
without any qualms of conscience,
Just as did many other special attor.
neys of boards and police juries, in
defiance of the law to the contrary.
Mr.. Ponder knows the work he did as
the Game Commissions attorney was
not worth near the sum he received
for it, yet he cheerfully accepted it,
and, while doing so, found time to
canvass the State in the interest of
Michel and lambast Governor Hall
and the men who stood with him,
with all the power of elOquence he
could command. In spite of this he
is to-day before the people of The
Sixth district asking them to send
him to Congress, on the strength,
we suppose, Of the record he made
while attorney for the game commits
sion, to which he had been appoint
ed by his friend and admirer, Gov.
Sanders, who, being a lawyer him
self, knew there was no law to jus.
.!fy the State in paying him the mu
lificent salary which Mr.. Ponder re-
;eived for his services.

WANTS PLACE ON CONSERVA.
TON COMMISSION.

Robert H. Stirling is circulating {
paper for signatures in support o.
his candidacy for place on the
Conservation Commission. Every 0nt
well acquainted with Mr.. Strings
qualifications for that position can
not hesitate to support him, as he is
undoubtedly one of the best inform
ed men in the state on the subject
Of game, and to this he adds that
strong innate woodlands interest in
the inhabitants Of forest and stream
that makes him an ideal worker for
conservation Of the states resources
in that respect. He not only knows
the work but he loves it.
Mr. Stirling has besides a good
political record. He supported the
Hon. Theodore Wilkinson in 1907,
but on Jared Y. Sanders becoming
governor and knowing himself to be
fitted for game warden of West Fe-
liciana, he applied for the position.
1t will be recalled that this applica-
ton of Mr.. Strings first threw
light on the fact that the members
of the Game Commission were only
dummies for the governor, that he
and not they appointed the game
Wardens as his own political pawn8
The baking Of John D. Fisher, a
member of the Commission, and his
subsequent indignant resignation from
the commission, when this state Of
affairs became clear to him, is the
first revelation of what the Sanders
administration meant. 1t was the be-
ginning, Mr.. Stirling was the first
victim. A strong supporter of Gov.
Hall he deserves well Of this ad-
and his abilities fit him
particularly for a place on the Con
servation Commission.

 So great is the demand from the more fastidious class of coupon clip pers for the beautiful flexible leather bound No. 1 dictionary that the stock was exhausted Fortunately. sup ply had beea held in reserve and a second distribution of the covered copies was commenced and the Die tionary Department looked almost like bargain counter crush.
 To look and listen during the dis tribution reminds one of the barker's yell of: Look, pee-pul. l want you 70 notice the heads of those who pass in to see our big show. Notice the heads of those who buy tickets-they have the broad brows of thinkers

 Those who fiocked in to get the flexible leather-bound dictionaries told of the efforts being made by jealous book dealers to sell their just as good" dictionaries in ex- change for coupons and money. Our advice is to peruse the display adver- tisement on another page of this is- sue to remember that this is a 1912 edition fresh from the prosses, with all the new words in it, and that any other dictionary of similar size must suffer by comparison, and to realize that the present edition, large as it is. must become exhausted if the pres ent rate of demand keeps up.

FRIsKY ATHLETE AT SIXTY
"Popv Anson Says It's Mistake for Pro- fesslona,s 10 Go Back--Should
 Be Best at AS.

There's nothing to the general be-
 lief that the efficiency of professional
 athletes Is necessarily short lived, de-
 elares Pop" Anson, the grand old
 man of baseball" former captain of
 the Chicago National League team.
 Vigorous training is conducive to long
 life and rugged health, he contends,
 rather than to the quick decay of mus
 cular tissue and vitality. Athletes
 should be at their best at 45, he says.
 Pop himself is robust testimo-
 nial to the truth of this theory. Aft CT 27 years of professional baseball,
 during which time he never was out
 of training, and at the age of 60 now,
 he is a rugged, hearty, agile athlete
 still, ready at any tune to play hard
 game of ball, roll half dozen games
 of ten pins, do IS holes at golf or tramp all day behind the dogs in the hunting field. His eye is clear, his step elastic and his carriage as erect as the day he first donned uniform in ball club At the conclusion of monologue he Is giving at the Gar den theater this week he does buck and wing dances with the agility of boy. He rises at o'clock every morn ing, and when the weather is fair and links accessible, he seldom misses a round at golf before lunch time.
 Stars in all lines of sport life rise so suddenly and descend so quickly | that the public has come to anticipate the decline of an athlete within year or two or three after he gets in the | championship class Captain Anson
 said. "As a matter of fact young man, say 25 years old. who excels in any branch of athletics should con tinue to improve each year for 20 | years A prize fighter should be at
 his best at 45 and in condition for the
 battle of his life, rather than fat, broken old has-been.
 I It's too strenuous relaxation, and not too strenuous training, that kills off athletes. They abuse themselves 1 by dissipation, or permit themselves to get out of condition between occa- sions of supreme effort, and must go | through an exhausting grind to get back into shape. By dissipation I | don't mean necessarily hard drink ing or similar harmful practices. A | man can dissipate in his eating as
 we'll as in drinking and injure himself | just as much Temperance and mod
 eration in all things is essential to prolonged physical efficiency.
 | Tt makes me tired to hear that
 some grand performer in athletics who has dazzled the world with his
 superiority for year or two is go- ing back I know what it means
 that that champ has had his head | turned by success and prosperity. l drifted into speedy company and is | going the joy riding route to obliv- ion. He is a victim of overtraining. all right-Overtraining with the hap py water and the bright lights and | all that goes with them.
 Training to an athlete is what oil
 is to machine, and keeping him.

Win Defend George Johnston, Held in Connection With Murder
 Mystery

Tomorrow when George Johnston is given a preliminary examination be- fore Justice Kirk, in connection with murder which is under investigation by the police, he will be represented by Judge Thurston P. Farmer. who has been engaged as counsel The state will be represented by Assist ant Prosecuting Attoraey George P. Wilmington. The chain of circnm- stances as gathered by Detective Will Laughlin will be the foundation of the charge. The defense will be based on the stand that Snipman, whose murder is charged is not dead, but that the dead body found near the garbage plant was that of some other man. 1t is said that Johnston still has confidence in the theory that Snipman will be located before the charge of murder against him has proceeded far.

self in fighting condition all the time should be harmful no more than keep ing a machine in the best working condition would be. The history of the world proves that intellectual workers who travel at their best pace all the time last longer than the spasmodic or halfhearted, and I be- lieve the same is true Of athletes. Of course. there's such a thing as over doing it, and oyerexertion either in training or contests works a perma- nent injury. But barring such mis- haps, the only thing the temperate and intelligent athlete has to fear is old age"
