Judging from the criticisms of
the state press on the Bruner.
Dodson affair Mr.. Bruner seems to
be as we'll established in the affec.
tions of the people as ever. The
assumption ,is that Mr.. Bruner was
inveigled by tale bearers who had
not the courage to tell in open
court what they told in private,
and if this is true it is reprehensi-
BILE to say the least. Mr.. Bruner's
life is an open book. He has
served his people and the State
honestly and unsellshly, from a
poor bare-footed boy, he has, by
industry and perseverance, over
come the natural obstacles of life,
and, until now, no breath of sus.
picion has ever connected him
with anything not in line with the
acts or utterances of an honest
man. In fact his sincerity and
jealous regard for the interests of
the people of the State of Louisi-
ana we're the causes of his recent
difficulty. The case is now mat.
ter of record, and no one seeks to
criticise the action of the court,
but the people are, taking into con-
sideration the circumstances sur
rounding the entire proceedings
and propose to see that exact jus.
tice shall be done him. 1t is a
safe prediction that if Mr.. Bruner
discharges the duties of his Office
as faithfully in the future as in the
past he will establish himself in
the "Higher Court of a Sound
Public Sentiment" and the Good
people will reward him with their
unselfish and irrisistable support.
The seeming persecution of Mr..
Bruner is being noticed by the
press of other states-we quote the
following:
Being on the state line the
Herald has as many Louisiana
readers as it has Mississippi and
we naturally take an interest in
Louisiana affairs. We have not
had anything to say before-about
the conviction of Commissioner of
Agriculture Bruner for slander al.
legged to have been uttered about
one Professor Dodson because he
wanted to know more about the
case, But now from all the best
evidence we have been able to se-
cure by reading the papers on the
subject we are convinced that the
whole affair was done to injure
Bruner, personally and politically.
Fact is we do not believe any man
who conceives that he has been
slandered and has the case. .aired
in the courts as this fellow Dodson
did, could really have his reputa-
