Supreme Court UphoIds Judge Leche.

Supreme Court upholds Judge Leche.
Among the decisions handed down
by the state supreme court last Mon
day was one unfolding the decision
OF Judge P s5ui heohe, Of Of the judi ci 2 !
court of this district, in the st. James
election case Of Christophe Roussel
VS.. Joseph B. Dorniera ct ais. Mr.
Roussel was a candidate in the re
cent Democratic primary for sheriff
of st. James parish, but received less
votes than Mr.. Dornier, Whereupon
he sought to have the district court
declare the latter Ineligible to hold
the office on the ground that he had
served as a deputy registrar of voters
within ninety days prior to the time
that he became candidate. Judge
Leche held that parish committees
are without the right to pass upon
the qualifications of candidates for
public office, and that under the pri-
mary law the district court is clothed
with no greater power Or jurisdiction
than are the committees. If one in
eligible to office has received the
majority of votes in a primary cleo
ton his right to hold office cannot
be tested in a suit brought by an
unsuccessful candidate seeking to be
declared entitled to the office, but
the question of his eligibility must
be tested in suit brought in the
name of the state.
The supreme court upheld Judge
Leche's decision and dismissed the
writ applied for by the plaintiff.
Chief Justice Breaux was the organ
Of the court, and the syllabus of his
decision is as follows:
1, A. Democratic parish committee
has no power to pass upon the eli
gibility of candidates for public office,
as it is not charged with judicial
functions nor clothed with judicial
power. 2. If one who is ineligible
has received the majority of votes in
primary election, his right to hold
office cannot be tested in suit
brought by an unsuccessful candidate
seeking to be declared entitled
to the office, but the question
of his eligibility must the tested in
a suit brought in the name of the
state. 3. AS the Democratic parish
committee is without legislative au-
thority to, decide questions OF eli
gibility, this court cannot order it to
do so, and, under the law regulating
primaries, this court is without a1l-
thority to decide the question of eli
gibility of any candidate. Writ re-
called and dismissed.

nevertheless-and a jobs a job.

NOT ALTOGETHER A DEFEAT

A clergyman tells the following
story: He was marrying young
couple. All went well until he reached
that part of the service where the
bride has to say, II will love, honor

The first part of the sentence she
would say all right, but on reaching
the word "obey" she refused to say t.,
hut made some kind of noise very
like 1t.
The clergyman again repeated It,
but she still refused to pronounce the
word distinctly.
The parson now became rather
rexed about this and informed the
young lady that unless she said II cor.
rectly this time he would refuse to
harry them.
NThe bride, rather crestfallen. again
repeated the words, but on coming to
the fatal word she again hesitated. but

or throwing sex. And young girls
have pr"ttily illustrated the
alleged difficulty, dot otless as a
ruse to impress the throwing
male with his wondrous superiority
Of construction.
But this is a long distance from
those broken windows. They are
accounted for in this way: When
the demonstration" was ap-
preached the suffragettes went to
the seashore and practiced with
the abundant missiles there until
they could hit what they aimed at

WINDMILL AS MOTIVE POWER
French Invention Applies the Prinel-

physics merely are applied in a new
form in mechanical contrivances.
