Dear Comrade: The Major General
commanding the Louisiana Division

order made public by his authority,
arraigned the Louisiana Association
of Veterans, in camps organized as
strikers, deserterS and pension
jumpers. He has assailed tie stand
ing and records of whole regiments,
charging them with having evaded
duty, and he cites to his bar all
those who have no honorable dis
charge" to show for the close of the
war and its service. As camps and as
individual members of them, they
are cited as having admitted to
membership persons unworthy, and
he proclaims our rolls, both of pen
sions and of organizations, badges
of dishonor.
This is a sweeping and serious re-
Election upon the decrepit few who
claim at least to have served. the

He has no right to malign a whole

The Major General commanding
the Louisiana Division of the U. C.

lenged for a bill of particulars, must
answer. The challenge is direct ana
is from one of the most gallant OF
General R. E. Lees army.
Whoever may be unworthy OF
membership in any camps Of the U
C. V. should be exposed by the gen.
eral and should he fail he will prove
recreant to his duty.
The, general may be reminded that
when Gen. Robert E. Lee surren-
dered, thousands of his men, as gal
liant and as true as ever trod the
earth, refused to be surrendered and
left for their homes without the pa
role issued by the representatives OF
General Grant. When the Army OF
Tennessee was surrendered, thous-
ends departed for their homes with
out their parole.
Because thousands of the veter-
ans of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia and of the Army of Tennessee
did not obtain their paroles at the
end of the war is not significant OF
discredit, nor is a parole an evidence

thoroughly competent for the task

For instance, when the company
OF which the editor of the Caucasian
was member was surrendered at
the end Of the struggle five were
present, of whom three had been
conspicuous by their absence at the
front but prominent at the cooking
camp beyond the reach of Mimic
balls. And yet these three men we're
listed with the honorably discharged
and their surrender as such are pos
sibly inscribed on the roster from
which the general is deriving his
information.
Since the general has INDUCED in
his sweeping charges, he shall be
expected to give his proof. He will
not be permitted to dodge.

STATUTE ON GAMBLING.
The Liability Of Property Owners.
Conviction Affirmed by the Court
of Criminal Appeals of Texas

There is published in the Dallas
News of February 6 special from
Austin, Texas, in which is reported
the affirmation of the conviction of
"a property owner of McLennon
County who had rented a premises
to gamblers. The law under which
the conviction was secured is in
substance as the ordinance Of tn:
city and as amplified in section
published in the issue of last Sun
day and reproduced in the issue of
today.
1t is stated in this special that the
Court of Criminal Appeals on Mon
day, February, February 3, in af-
firming the case of Henry Robert
son from McLennan County, con-
victed and given two years on a
charge of knowingly permitting
property under his control to be
used as place to gamble with
cards and knowingly permitting
property under his control to be
used as place where people resort
to gamble, there being two counts
in the indictments, held that the
proper construction of the statute
does not require that the indictment
shall allege and proof show that
appellant kept the property for the
purpose of being used as a gambling
house. The opinion, written by
Associate Judge Prendergast, re-
cites:
'The words so used in our opin-
ion do not relate back to and make
it necessary in order to commit the
Offense of knowingly permitting the
property to be used for gambling,
that it shall also be kept as a gam
bling house, but applies to the other
portion of the statute which makes
it an offense for any one to keep for
the purpose of being used, property
or premises, as a place to gamble.
Keeping it for that purpose is sep
arate and distinct offense made SO
by the Statute. knowingly permit
ting it to be used for gaming, al
though not kept as and for gam
bling house, is also an offense under
this statute. so used does not mean
and can not properly ge construct
ed to rate back. and include kept
! Property being used for gaming
need not necessarily be kept for
that purpose. In our opinion each
of the counts in the indictment in
this case correctly and properly
charged violation of the statute y
The main contention of appellant
was that the indictment must allege,
and in order to secure conviction,
the State must prove, not merely
that the appellant permitted the
property under his control to be
used as place to gamble with
cards, or as place where people
resort to gamble, but that it must
allege in the indictment and estab-
lish by the proof that appellant
kept the place as gambling house
for that purpose.
Query: If the ordinance of the
City of Shreveport were enforced,
what would be the result?
But will this ordinance of the City
of Shreveport be enforced

HUERTA'S MESSAGE is READY
Document Reviews important Acts of
His Administration.

Mexico City, Nov. 20.-General HUI
erta plans to submit to the members
of his cabinet the message which he
proposes to deliver to his newly con.
vened congress.
The document is short and it is said
reviews tersely the most important
acts of the Huerta administration,
dealing frankly with the dissolution of
congress and calling attention to the
strained relations with the United
States.
1t is expected that congress will re-
ceive the message without protest,
thereby giving Huerta virtual ratih-
cation of his acts. 1t is said that the
message will open way to an imme-
diate discussion by congress of the
late presidential election and it is a
foregone conclusion that congress will
declare the election null. 1t is re-
garded as possible that congress may
name some one else for provisional
president for a period ensuing until
the election and Inauguration of a
permanent chief executive, but it would
undoubtedly be surprise to most
Mexicans as well as foreigners If Gen
eral Huerta should not be instructed
to continue at the head of affairs.
