AS TO THE PENITENTIARY.

Says Col. Harrison Parker in a re-
cent letter to the press:
"If would rise in one of the prison
congresses in the North and show them
cane knife, which is the machete or
weapon with which the Cubans fought
their long war for independence. and
tell them that we turned loose in the
cane fields on Angola, at one time,
over 500 men, white and black, all
armed with this weapon, with perfect
safety, they would not believe 1t, and
certainly this could never be done if
the men were not properly treated and
if they had the spirit of revolt in their
hearts"
Col. Parker continues thus:
81 may say that the board intends to
do it's duty to the state and the people
of Louisiana in carrying out this
parole law. Friends and relatives OF
the prisoners have their views, which
are wholly different from and, in fact,
the very opposite of what the general
public expects in the execution of this
statute; but, on the whole, l believe,
if properly carried out, it will result
in some betterment of the penal
system.
1--WE invite the cooperation and aid
of the public press of the state, and
our records are always open to your
inspection for any investigation you
may desire to make"

TRAITORS IN THE PRIMARIES.

What The Citizen is trying to point
out with emphasis is that those people
who would lead and vote in the party
opposing the democrats should not par
tiCipRte in it's primaries, and then,
Judas-like, betray it between the pri-
maries and the general elections
Dalton, (Ga.) Citizen.
The above clipping might as easily
have appeared in one of Louisianas
papers since the recent election. 1t is
encouraging to know that this species
of primary-traitors is not peculiar to
Louisiana, although the real treachery
is not diminished on that account but
the more pitiable that human nature
can be so false to it's pledges. Respect
is felt for the manly course OF men
who register as Progressives and vote
accordingly, but the registration lists
show that the Progressive vote was
not confined to these. Some who voted
to choose Gueydan undoubtedly voted
for Martin.
How to deal with such recreants is
the burning question of the hour with
the Democracy of Louisiana. 1t will
be remembered that an attempt to take
action on this matter was made in the
last session of the Legislature, but was
dropped for fear of precipitating the
state of affairs that has come about
Notwithstanding. In other words, it
was feared that to read out of the
party those who had determined to
"rebuke" the national administration
would but confirm them in their pur-
pose and tend to the foundation of a
permanent second party in Louisiana.
That the Legislature stayed its hand
has had no effect in the face of the
logic of circumstances. Without doubt
success in the Third DISTRICT will lead
to a Progressive state ticket in 1916.
This was intimated repeatedly from
the platform during the late campaign,
and the Progressives are only waiting
to see what the Democrats propose
doing, before announcing their inten-
tions.
To purge the Democratic primary of
possible traitors is the task that can
not be longer delayed. Whether this
shall be done by work on the primary
law, at the extra session, is properly a
subject for frank discussion. Some
think the time will be unpropitious,
lest the appropriation bills be inter
fered with, but this fear is negligible,
since the appropriations for the sup
port of the states various institutions
must be made, and few politicians in
the General Assembly will have the
hardihood to sacrifice these paramount
interests to anything else.

Analysis of the state vote shows that
the city controlled the result with
regard to the amendments. What
measures the bosses decided before
hand should be defeated, were accord
ingly defeated, viz: women on educa-
tional and charitable boards, the Lake
Shore Park amendment, and the super
fluous judiciary amendment The coun-
try declared against extra judges and
district attorneys and raising the salary
of future Governors. The country
wanted women on boards. But the city
boss said nay and it was nay. Lack
of organization prevents the country
from getting many other things that
it wants, or gives it much that it does
not want.

During the entire course of the
plague in New Orleans, from June 10
to October IA, there were only ten
deaths. All of the dead, with single
exception, were either very old and
debilitated people or had succumbed
before receiving the wonderful serum
treatment. The entire list of plague
patients numbered thirty.
Plague in New Orleans is now prac-
tically thing of the past, and the
greater danger, the disease in the
rodents, has been effectually checked,

covered in several weeks.
