In order to prevent unnecessary arrests

following letter to Acting Police Com.
missioner Douglas Mckay:
Sir: My reports fnom Central Park
and also from Prospect Park. In
Brooklyn. are that more or less
lttersns of the park and some
breaking Of shrubbcry still continue
on Sundays by certain ignorant or
reckless people. Please have Q suf-
hcient number Of plainclothes men
in each Of these parks next Sunday.
and until further notice to summon
or arrest therefor. ~ the case may
require. There IL also some throwing
or tossing Of balls In these parks on
fields where that Ii not permitted.
Those who do 20 should be cautioned.
and then II thsS persist they must
be arrested. Please ask Chief Mag
istrate Kempner Of Brooklyn TO have
a Magistrate assigned on Sunday to
the police station In Prospect Para.
the same as Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo has done for Central Park, and
I have no doubt he will do 70. In
that way those arrested. especially
boys and children. can have their
cases disposed OF instead Of being
locked M over night. ~ happened
in Prospect Park recently. And do
not let the policemen be- urged on
to unnecessary arrests or violence
by overxealous outsiders. Have them
use their own judgment. and I am
very certain they will act with due
discretion. w. ]. GAYNOR.

Al USELESS
The General Election is a USE

The General Election is a use
less expense on the people OF
this state. In Louisiana, where
there is no Republican party,
since that party failed to poll ten
per cent Of the votes cast in the
last gubernatorial election, there
is no reason why the state and
parishes should go to the ex-
pense of holding a general cleo
ton, when, as a matter of fact,
the Democrats are certain to be
be elected every time.
In st. Landry parish alone, there
were held two general elections,
throughout the entire parish,
within the last two months. It
is estimated that each poll costs
over $50 to the parish. q This
money could be spent to a better
end, if the general election law
would be knocked sky-high.
We can understand why the
Northern states need a general
election. AS a comparison, the
various parties there, are like
the various political factions in
this state and need an election
to decide the winner.
Louisiana has been overwhelm-
ingly Democrat, since the ne
groes have ceased to vote, and
there is reason to think that it
will not go anything but Demo-
cratic, even though sugar will
be placed on the free list, for
years to come. One thing that
is almost certain is that every
present voter in Louisiana. will
have gone before his Creator,
before this grand old state will
ballot otherwise, thantit has been
for several years past.
If there would be no general
this state could save
many thousand dollars each
year, which could be used in edu-
her children and building
better roads throughout Louis
ana.
