AS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.

AS could easily be foreseen, the
effort before New Orleans court to
punish a practitioner of the Christian
Science class for using prayer only
as a means of healing, has proved
abortive. 1t is difficult for court
in a Christian country to deliver the
opinion that prayer is not a sufficient
means of healing the sick, although
the Scriptures are filled with proof
that God Himself uses earthly agen-
cies to carry out even His miracles,
not to say the ordinary affairs OF
life On the other hand, there are IN
stances of healing because Of faith,
but this means, naturally precludes
its use in the case Of small children
as was done in New Orleans. A cleV'
er lawyer, however, should have beer
able to make a point Of "The prayer
Of the righteous ayaileth much,' and
put upon the defense the task Of prov
ing righteousness.

CANNING RLAcKBERRIEs.

The canning operations at Baton
Rouge, this season, as noted in an
other place, should furnish insplra-
ton to this locality. Even if it could
not be repeated on so large a scale,
a small canning plant could accom-
plish a good deal, and a larger busl'
ness be gradually built up. Mr.. V. NJ
Jackson at Laurel Hill got excellent
results and profits from his canning
outfit, which is a small one. Like
the Baton Rouge people he did well
with his blackberries, which is the
cheapest possible crop, requiring NJ
labor, except that of picking the fruit
from the fields and hedges.
There is opportunity on every
hand, if people would only see it, and
reach forth to seize it, before it Is
taken by some one else.

CONSERVATION THAT BEGINS Ar
HOME.

Lake Charles American-Press:
Five thousand dollars a month is
being saved the state in the opera
ton of the Conservation Commission
under the new administration, accord
ing to the report to the commission
for the quarter ending Dec. 81, and
comprising the months Of October,
November and December. The eX-
penses of the commission for that
period, the report shows, were $15,-
850.23 less than those of the old
commission during corresponding
period in 1911. At the same time
the revenues of the present body
have been reduced $8,016.57, owing
to the reduction in the cost Of hunt
ing license effected by the last leg
islature.
During the quarter $23,529,13 was
netted the commission through the
lease of water bottoms, oyster beds,
showing an increase of $2,627.79 in
earnings from this source. The
amount represents the lease of IT,
88203 acres. While the income,
aside fromthe hunting licenses, which
were so graduated as to relieve the
majority of people from an unjust
tax, has been well maintained, the
expense accounts have been kept
down. Remember the irOnic hoWls
, that went up when it became known
that game wardens" would be abol
J ished and conservation agents sub
stituted for them, and the claim made
} that the difference was in name only
! Well, there was a difference beyOnt
that The conservation agents drew
only $4,000 in salaries during tn
three months.

"THEY" AND GIVE"

In conversation with a local planter
the writer was struck by his use o.
the word "they." Referring to the
past crop year, he said: "They dldn I
do so extra well, although they made
good crops of corn, but the price is
SO low, that it brings nothing" And
continuing it was still "they," and
presently it developed that he meant
negro tenants, as is SO often the case
when agriculture is discussed.
There would be more cheer in his
talk if he had said eve" and spoken
loe his brother planters. For so lone
las the crux of the situation depends
jfor the most part upon negro labor
There will be no marked improvement
lbut when white men begin to sa!

There is a limited sense in which
courts should be free from neWspa-
ncr O. mass-meeting criticism. While
iudgCs are deliberating upon a case,
that case should not be discussed in
newspapers or on public rOstrums,
lest the Judge or judges prove weak
enough to be improperly influenced
thereby. But insofar as such discus
sion may be regarded as an Offense,
it should be left to a grand jury and
not TO the criticised judges. A judge
who is weak enough to be Improperly
influenced by public criticism or cla-
NOR, is toe weak to be trusted with
arbitrary power for the redress of
his own grievances. In all probabil-
ity :he best security against improp,
er public discussion of cases on trial
would be a general inculcation ol
standards of public decency rather
than criminal prosecution, whethe
by grand juries through indictmen
CT by offended judges through arbitra
ry proceedings for contempt-Chicag'

EMPTY HOUSES.

Perhaps the average property own

disgust, the suggestion that it would
be wise, rather than have an empty
house or idle farm, to let some res
ponsible person have it at low ren'

of not being an evergreen and hence

proportion of the population have
other views. But the saloon men,
who evade or openly violate the Gay,
