For Reaistrar of Voters.

II may be noted that from a clip
ping from the Guardian Journal
headed "The Bosses Surprised by
Governor Hall" that Governor Hall
has named Mr.. England, formerly
from Rayville, the registrar of vot.
ers, and from the Monroe Independ-
ent is reproduced the paragraph
quoted:
Governor Hall could scrape New
Orleans with fine-tooth comb and
not find a better man for registrar
of voters than Jerry Dickson. He is
man who would do the fair and
square thing at all times and under
all circumstances: every man woulf
get square deal before him, but n
name would 90 on the roll or stay
there not entitled to be there. Hi
appointment would not only bt
hailed with pleasure by his host o
friends. but by all honest mer
throughout the State"

A Hearst Candidate.

IF the Democratic nomination fO:,
president is to be dictated by such
men as William r. Hearst and Ton
Watson, the Baltimore convention
would do we'll to save the trouble
and expense Of campaign by max
ing the November election a present

And if one of the Hearst cand
dates is Champ Clark, and he should
become the nominee of the Democ

lick him to a frazzle. And yet there
are some Democrats in Louisian
who are clinging to Clark. Why?

A CANADIAN JUDGE.
If Run Into by an Automobiic He
Would Shoot the Driver.

A Canadian judge recently start
led his court when he mad" the an
nOunrrmcnt that if he carried q
loaded rcVoIcr and an autOmOFiI"
ran into him he would shoot It's
driver. II think my life is worth
someIhing,' said the magistrate,
'and 7 would not allow any man to
threaten it with impunity. You al
tOmObilists should consider that tn"
automobile inspector is protecting
YOU against such men as myself
when he keeps you from breaking
the law" Another judge recently
ruled that an automobile was a
"deadly weapon" and heavily fined
a driver for injuring citizen
There is no fault TO be found with
the automobile, but the laws rrgtI
lating their speed, especially in con
gcslcd districts, should be rigidly
cnGorcrd.-NeW Orleans 'icayun".
The law applying TO the sp"rdin"
Of the automobile is as other law
which are not enforced. It would
seem that the automobilists are ~
the privileged class. but there are
some exceptions.
After all, The responsibility fO,
the failure attending The pnrOrcr

speed Of the automaniac must res,
on The trial judge.

ness in speeding, but to other in
fractions of the statutes.
If mans life is worth sometime
and the trial judge through faVOrit
ism, or partiality, or lenicncy, q
SonlimCntality or with a pOlitic?I
eye to the future will squint at tn"
llagrant acts of autOmaniaCs or will
impose on them a penalty which i
travesty of justice, then the Cit

THE CHATTEI. MORTGAGE
Is Objectionable i'm Many Features
and Should BE Defeated.

The Guardian Journal Of Homer,
Claiborne Parish, observes that tn"
man with the chaltel mOrtg gage bill
bobbed up again at Baton Rouge, as
he does at every session of the Gen
eral Assembly. We have never
thought a law of the kind practical
and do not believe the bill will pass.
The chattel mortgage law tends
to interfere with commerce relating
to personal property. One would
never know when he was getting Il
clear title to a horse or cow or any
other species of personal property
unless he were to first go to the
public records and ascertain if any
mortgages had been given on the
property. The adherents of the law
claim that this trouble can be obvi-
ated by making it a violation of law
to sell or trade any kind Of property
on which a mortgage had been exc
cuted. This would not meet the oh
lection, for there are many who
would trade or sell horse that had
been mortgaged and take the chance
of getting out of the State before
the fact became known. Especially
would this be the case with many
transient horse traders who have no
permanent domicile.
1t is claimed, too, that if one were
permitted to execute mortgage or
lien on personal property, if would
extend the credit of those who have
no real estate and be the means Of
enabling them TO borrow money on
their horses and cows. We seriously
doubt whether it would prove ben
eft to the poor man, and are in
clined to the opinion that it would
be against his interest.
When the citizen gets to where he
has mortgaged the home, however
humble, and the old family horse.
and the cows which furnish daily
sustenance for the children, it will
not be long before the sheriff will
make his visit to this home in be
half of the money lender, and this
property including the horse and
COWS, will be carried to the courI
house and sold to the highest bidder
to satisfy the mortgage debts. We
are inclined to think that most Of Us
have too much credit without ex
tending it by means of chattel mort
cages.

Dhc BOSSES Surprised by Governor

Guardian Journal of Homer. La,
says: Governor Hall surprised the
New Orleans politicians by appoint
ing man by the name of England
registrar Of voters. Mr.. England
seems TO have been unknown in New
Orleans. He has never had any part
in politics. II" went from RayViIIe,
North Louisiana, to New Orleans
about two years ago and has been
engaged in the cotton specializing
business. The G0Vrrn0r knew the
man before going TO New Orleans,
and we presume he decided on his
appointment for the reason that the
gang in IN" city was too badly di-
Vidrd to ever get together.

FISH AND GAME LAWS
A New Codification Introduced in
Legislature-Some Changes

LegiSIature-SOme Changes
A new codifcatiun of the fish and
game laws of Vermont is contained
in House bill 304, which has been
introduced by the committee on
game and fisheries. 1t was ordered
to lie and 1000 copies will be print
ed.
The bill does not make many
changes, but lengthens or shortens
the season in some instances and pro-
vides for a deputy commissioner
which is a new feature and has been
advocated by Commissioner Titcomb.
Among the changes in trapping
hunting and fishing are the length
ening of the open season on trout
from May 1 to September 1, instead
of from April Is to August Is. Par
tridges can be shot from Sept. Is to
Dec. 1 instead of Sept. 15 to Nov.
is. Fur-bearing animals may be
trapped from Nov. 1 to May 1. These
include muskrats, mink and marten.
Deer may be shot from Nov. 1 to
Nov. 20 instead of from Nov. Is to
Nov. 25. No change is made regard
ing damage by deer. The hunters
license fee is made 81, instead of so
cents.
The bill provides for game refugees
and for propagation farms for all
game and fish for private enterpris-
es. No change is made in the rabbit
law, except that ferrets may be used
to drive animals from holes to be
shot with gun held at arms length.
This latter provision applies to hunt
ing all kinds of game.
Netting whitefish in Lake Cham
plain, is to be permitted when in the
commissioner judgment it can be
done without taking other FISH In
quantities.
Privately stocked waters must be
posted annually with the date of
stocking prominently displayed on
placards and must be re-stocked an
