Our new police jury at their meeting
last week made a fine record in the way
of reform. Their proceedings show
several distinct retrenchments, besides
measures taken to rigidly examine into
all disbursements, SO the parish shall
receive full value for all money expend-
ed. They evidently intend that all mat
tiers of public progress shall be contin-
ued, but conducted with economy, and,
while no backward steps are to be
taken, unnecessary expenditures are to
be cut out.

Rank Injustice in the Guise of Reform.
A few sidelights on the Do
ings of the Legislature" has
been written to the Pollock Pro-
gress-News by Representative T.
O. Hart, of Grant, explaining
how it happens that the Pineville
Insane Asylum is to be cut short
hundred thousand dollars in
the next four years. 1t appears
that the regulars" favored a
liberal appropriation for the in
sane, but the administration for
ces feared to permit the institu-
ton to have the money, because
there will not be enough to go
around" The Good Govern
ment reformers lined up in oppo-
sition to the appropriation, and
on vote being taken it was de-
feated by the narrow margin of
four votes.
Mr.. Hart blames Speaker L.
E. Thomas with the defeat of the
measure, by sharp practice and
cutting off debate, as he says,
after we had about gained our
point The injustice and alb
surdity of the thing is so plain to
Mr.. Hart that he feels disturbed
over his reform associates in the
legislature voting against the
appropriation. He very correct
ly holds that it would have been
better to borrow the money Gift
should be necessary to take care
OF the insane of our State, rather
than to have more than two hun
dred of these unfortunates housed
in the penitentiary and in the
parish jails, as is the case at
present. because the asylums at
Jackson and Pineville are so
croweed they cannot receive any
more applicants.
Mr.. Hart very properly held
that it was the duty of the State
to provide new buildings to care
for its poor unfortunate insane.
In voting with the so-called
ring on this proposition, Mr..
Hart seems to fear that he will
be blamed by some of his Grant
parish constituents. He is alto
gether wrong in giving this
phase of the subject any con-
sideration whatever. He was
elected as the Representative of
all the people of this parish.
Where there has been no express
instruction on the part of his
people, he is most certainly ex-I
pected to vote his honest convic-
lions and act for the general
good, without submitting to the
behests of the self-constituted
reformers who propose to dictate
legislation to suit the views of
their particular faction. We can
assure Mr.. Hart that this is not
the first time set of reformers
have gone to the legislature and
failed to be reformers in the
true sense of the word.
