The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1912-02-15
From Our State Exchanges

Assumption Pioneer: With the excheq
uer of the Game Commission gone dry
and the game wardens threatened with no
salary, it seems that all is just right for
the ak which the Goo Coos will apply when
they get in.
Assumption Pioneer: From all reports
received the seed cane is good. However,
only few planters have started planting,
and for that reason it will be several days
before the true condition of the seed cane
will be fully known.
Mansfield Enterprise: One of the first
pledges of the Goo Goo League was that
the ''Recall'' should be promptly put in
force, and the people are anxious to try it
on T. H. Harris. We had hoped to see
politics subside little but wouldn't we
like to take hand in ousting the most
disgusting figure that ever figured in the
school affairs of our State.
Louisiana Democrat: The Legislature
should submit an amendment to the con-
stitution, legislating the Pecksniffian Har-
ris out of Office. There need be no fear
that The people will not vote for it. A man
who will practice such deception, double
dealing and hypocrisy as he did, is dis
qualified from being at the head Of the
educational interests of the State.
Vermilion News: The public schools
should be taken out of politics, and kept
out. The system has been used for politi-
cal purposes by Aswell and Harris, at the
cost of the people. Fortunately, we are
rid of Aswell, at least, temporarily. But,
unfortunately, his ''little speller'' fingers
still. The Legislature should make it i'm
possible for any one to ever again impose
such a worthless thing upon the public.
Monroe independent: Judge Hall will
recommend needed legislation in his mes
sage, but he has pledged himself not to
play the Sanders part of trying to boss the
Legislature. Under these circumstances
the work of legislation, of giving the peo-
pie good laws, that will stand judicial
test, will be greatly simplified if these
measures are taken up early, so that they
may be fully discussed and laid before the
General Assembly properly prepared and
with the approval of the voters.
Franklin Waterman: st. Mary will be
completely eliminated from State politics
when the present incumbents vacate to
give place, honor and power to the newly
selected aggregation of statesmen. Not
even an oyster commissioner will swing on
at the finish. One fortunate thing abou,
it is, we will have another play coming to
us in four years more, and another thing
is while we were basking in the sunshine
of official authority, the other fifty nine
parishes were sitting on the anxious seat
waiting for their turn to come. 1t were
impossible to get it all and hold it, and thai
fact might as we'll be measured right now
as any other time.
Lake Charles American Press: Lou
isiana people who have come into contact
with him will regret to learn that the first
victim of the Game Commission s enforced
policy of retrenchment should be Henry
Jacobs who has had especial charge of its
public exhibit. Whatever public opinion
of the game commission itself may be-
none of the public displeasure or criticism
has been applicable to Mr.. Jacobs. He
took real interest in preparing his exhibit
Of the game birds and fish of Louisiana
and his addresses on the subject have
stimulated interest in the splendid resour'
ces of Louisiana in this regard all over the
State. 1t is probable that the game com.
mission and the game laws will be entirely
remodeled by the next Legislature, but the
good features should be retained, and Mr.
Jacobs department was one of the few
manifestations of activity that met with
popular favor.
