They'll tell you to steer to the left. and you'll feel all the fury and heft of the tempest and gale on your mast and your sail and themidnight will find you bereft. They'll tell you to tack and to slew, with your bin. 'naele main garnet clew, and to yaw and belay, in the mariners way. and damn you whatever you do.

TO Mexico, as a special emissary in the

be done by the administration to
guarantee adequate protection to the
Nmericans.
Senator Clark presented resolution
fer an immediate investigation by the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
for the protection of Americans and
American property in Mexico.
This resolution is not introduced
in a spirit of hostility to the admin
instration or criticism of the Foreign
Relations Committee" declared the
senator. but conditions are growing
steadily worse in Mexico. Now we
learn that Governor Lind has been
sent there by President Wilson.
That does not satisfy. Mr.. Lind
does not 60 as the official representa-
tive of the United States. He does
rot go as an ambassador, cloaked with
authority to represent the United
States. He cannot be appealed to by
American citizens for protection. Some
ether steps are necessary to give
Americans and American property the
protection they need and are demand

ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES CON-
MISSIONER BRUNER CAN
DRAW HIS SALARY.
CASE FOR COURTS TO SETTLE
Constitution Must Be interpreted-No
Precedent to Go by-Cites Gases
in other States.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-Declaring that de-
spite the fact that E. o. Bruner, COM
missioner of agriculture, has been jail
ed on court charges, he still has
right to collect his salary from the
state, Attorney General Ruffin 6.
Pleasant issued an opinion to Paul
Capdevielle, auditor of public accounts,
advising that he honor Mr.. Burners
acquisitions. In his opinion he says:
The question which you recently re-
ferred to me for an opinion is whether
Mr.. E. o. Bruner still holds the office
OF commissioner of agriculture, and is
entitled to draw has salary as such.
Article 2O2 of the Constitution of
this state reads as follows:
"The following persons shall not be
permitted 10 register, vote or hold any
office or appointment of honor. trust
or profit in this state, to-wit: Those
who have been convicted of any crime
punishable by Imprisonment in the
renitentiary, and not afterwards par
doned, with express restoration OF
franchise; those who are inmates OF
any charitable institution, except the
Soldiers Home; those actually confin-
ed in any public prison; all interdlcted
persons, and all persons notoriously
insane, or idiotic, whether interdicted
or not"
"Mr. Bruner is actually confined In
a public prison, serving a sentence ol
60 days Imprisonment imposed by
the Judge of the Twenty-second Judi
cial District Court.
THE question which must be decid
ed ultimately is whether the provision
o. the law referred to in the foregoint
paragraph relates to ones eligibilit!
at the time he is elected or APPOINTED
| to office. or whether 1t also works
forfeiture Of the office, II, after hav
ing been inducted into office he b.
convicted and serve prison sentence
| However, this question may be de
cided by the courts. think Mr.. Brur
er is still at least a de facto office
and is entitled to exercise the dutle
of his office and draw his salary unit
and unless the courts declare him
have forfeited it.
The above article Of the Constit'
tion has never been interpreted by ou
courts, but similar provisions of tn
laws Of some of the other states hav
been construed. From these decision
iC appears to be the general rule ths
no vacancy in an office results fro'
any forfeiture thereof by the incun
bent until such forfeiture is judicial
declared"

Plan to Farm Out Bruner.

Baton Rouge.-A movement is said
to be on foot for the farming out by
the Police Jury of E. o. Bruner, COM
missioner of agriculture and immigra-
ton, and ]. E. Halligan, former state
chemist, who were sentenced two
weeks ago to the parish jail for GO
days on the charge of libeling DR.. w.
r. Dodson, director of the State Ex-
pertinent Station. The police jury, it
is claimed, has the power to sell the
time OF these men to an individual
who contracts for their care. The
parish is paid certain sum for the
time. Some opposition is likely to
spring up to releasing the two men
from Jail.
