II Was a Savage Animal.

Mr.. Fred Ginnett, the English snow
man. who declares that there is no
cruelty involved in the training of per
forming animals. tells all amusing
story Of the lion and the lamb that
Lord George Sanger trained to appear
together.
When the sale of the old showman's
menagerie took place the two animals
were put up together and were bought
by Mr.. Ginnett, though by this time
the "lamb," to say the least Of it. was
getting rather elderly. A few days aft
er the sale an acquaintance asked Mr..
Ginnett how the happy pair were get
ting on and IL they were still fulfilling
the Bible phrase about Lying down to-
gether."
II wish I'd never seen them," said
Mr.. Ginnett gioomily.
"WhyT asked the other. "Is he saw
ageY'
Savage isn't the word for It." re.
piled Mr.. Ginnett.
"But," remarked bis friend, IT
thought he looked such mild old
lion"-
"Lion" interrupted Mr.. Ginnett.

mean. He butts like battering ram.e

SEGREGATION DOES NOT
SEGREGATE.

Our people should know that New
Orleans is one of very few cities
which still maintain a restricted dis
trict. There is no large European city,
with the exception of Hamburg, where
segregation prevails. 1t is now the
almost universally accepted opinion of
those who have studied the question
that segregation is not the solution OF
this problem. 1t does not segregate.
AS matter of fact, the evil is now
scattered over wide parts Of New
Orleans.
The most common argument heard
against the abolition of the district is
that it would scatter the vice all over
town. This has not been the exper-
fence of the many states and cities
which have abolished them. The re-
suit has rather been that prostitution
has been diminished and it's practi-
TONERS have left in large numbers.

Police Jury Laws Concerning Handling
of Diseased Stock

For the information of those who
are interested in the movement to
stamp out Charlton in West Feliciana
parish, The True Democrat gives the
following chapter from the Police Jury
Code, entitled Diseased Stock"
Section l. That the Police Juries of
each and every parish in the State of
Louisiana, is hereby empowered to or
ganize and act as a Live Stock SAM
tary Commission with authority to en-
act and enforce ordinances and regula-
lions for the suppression of CHAMBERS,
farcy, and other contagious and infec-
tious diseases, affecting live stock, as
may seem needful and necessary, and
it shall be the duty of said Police
Juries acting as Live Stock Commits
sions when in their judgment it is nee
essary to employ veterinary surgeon
to cooperate with them in determining
whether or not there exists contagious
diseases among live stock of their re-
spective parishes and whenever in the
opinion of said commission, and vete-
rinary surgeon of public safety de-
mands the destruction of any animal
or animals, affected with an incurable,
contagious or infectious disease, then
such killing shall be done under the
order of said commission and veteri-
nary surgeon, and without compensa-
ton to the owner or owners of such
animals.
Section 2. That it shall be the duty
of any person who discovers or sus-
poets, or has reason to believe that
any domestic animal belonging to him
or in his charge or that may come I'M
der his observation belonging to others
is affected with any contagious disease
to without delay report such fact or
belief to the Police member of his
ward, and to the President of the Po-
lice Jury, and any person or persons as
above specified who shall neglect or
refuse to notify the proper authorities
as above specified and designated, Of
the existence of any contagious or
deadly disease that may have been
brought to his knowledge, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon
conviction thereof, shall be fined in a
sum not less than ten nor more than
one hundred dollars, or be imprisoned

er the government will accept is not
known
The claim of the railroad people that
they are not adequately compensated
for the service required of them seems
to be based upon good grounds.
However, whatever the contentious
existing between the railroad and the
government, the public should not be
made the innocent sufferer. AS mat
ter of justice the railroad should be
allowed a fair compensation for it's
service, and we hope an amicable un-
derstanding can be arranged without
any curtailment of the mail service.
Should the L. r. & N. discontinue
the handling of mail, there are at least
thirteen Offices, between Baton Rouge
and the place where the road crosses
the river, which will suffer great in
convenience and delay in receiving
and forwarding mail matter.
Irene, Port Hudson and Port Hickey
will probably have to be served by
star route originating at some point
on the Y. & M. V. r. R.
Bayou Sara and st. Francisyille will
feel the burden heavily, as then they
would have to rely exclusively upon
the unsatisfactory service of the Bayou
Sara Branch of the Y. & M. v. In eff
feet, there would be but two mails a
day, the first arriving about p. m.
and the other consisting of locked
pouch thrown off the night train. The
first mail and the daily papers would
not reach here until mid-afternoon and
there would be no such thing as re-
ceiying letter and forwarding it's an
swer on the same day. On Sunday
there would be no mail and the Sun
day papers would not be delivered I'M
til Monday morning.
Pond and Pinckneyville, Miss, would
have their mail routed through Wood
vile or Centerville with considerable
delay
Port Adams, Miss, and Angola, Will
helm, Brandon and Plettenburg, La,
would be served by a tri-weekly SER
vice of the Steamer Betsy Ann.
Weyanoke would be served by a
star route from Laurel Hill.

LEST WE FORGET.

The Lake Charles American Press
admonishes newspaper men to remem-
Der that in it's original form the new
law regulating corporations, struck out
the provision requiring the publication
of charters in newspapers, at one blow
destroying the only protection given
to people who take stock in new ven
lures without owning a controlling in
terest, and depriving the newspapers
of another portion of their attenuated
revenues. They should remember the
way the office-holders howl whenever
1t is proposed to spend anything for
newspaper publicity, even if the mat
tiers made public are such as to con-
Germ the public deeply.
Except just before election, Louisi-
ana office-holders and politicians, as a
general rule, make no secret of their
contempt for and hostility to, the news.
papers, and yet the newspapers keep
on electing them to Office year after
year and building up regulations for
them. 1t would be curious expert
ment, and as we think an enlightening
one, if the newspapers should agree
among themselves not to mention any
man in connection with an Office he
now holds or to which he may aspire
for period of four years, and see how
many of those now in office could "get
by" on their own merits.

event such meeting be not held In the

members of the Police Jury and urge
them to meet at the earliest possible
date and take steps toward having all
live stock in the parish which is sus-
ceptible to Charlton, inoculated. The
motion carried and Judge Lawrason,
Dr. Kilbourne, M. ]. Daniel and Bat

animals, the prevention of public gath
erings until after danger of an cpl
demic is past, compulsory incubation
of stock subject to the disease, quar-
antining against infected districts and
the cessation of movements of herds
of cattle from one part of the parish
to another.
