Why is coroner This is ques-
I tion which. is now being discussed
here in connection with the proposal
10 abolish the office OF coroner. A
large number OF people apparently
believe that there is no reason for
.he maintenance of such an office
among them being one of the coro-
Eers themselves. who has issued n
statement in which he says that he
realizes that the present system is
wholly inadequate and subject to
great abuses, that the corcners iury
is obsolete and practically useless and
that the suspicion that certain coro-
ners play into the hands of under
takers is we'll grounded. There are
various other arguments which he
advances and the position which he
has taken in this matter is all the
more important because OF the fact
that not long ago he was strongly
opposed to the abolishing of this Of
flee. In the event that this office
is abolished it will be supplantcd by
Il system OF medical examinations.
This system provides for the appoint
ment of an expert pathogolist with
staff of competent men under him.
The task of this pathogolist, who is
the medical examiner. and his depu-
ties is to ascertain promptly and eN-
actly the cause of death so that the
health department records may be
as free from error as possible. When
ever there is the slightest indication
of crime in connection with death
the district attorneys office will be
called in to handle this end from the
beginning. Advocates of this sys-
TEN believe that it will prove far
more efficient than the present one
and from general indications it seems
likely that it Will eventually be given
Ia chance to prove its worth.
Significant fthe conditions eff
fecting employment here was the
opening this week of the re-organ-

CAN DISARMAMENT
BE EFFECTED

Whenever talk of the re-establish-
ment of peace after the present war
comes up. disarmament or the reduc-
tion of armaments is sure to be an
important issue. Just how the ma
tions shall effect program of dis
arming is IL veXed question. The En-
cyclopedia Britannica cites as the
only existing case of contractual re-
duction of armamcnts," the Disarma-
ment Agreement. of the 2Sth of May,
1902. between Gillian and Argcn-
tine Republics. B.: this agreement
tile two governments arranged to re-
duce their fleets according to an ar
rangement establishing reasonable
proportion between the two fleets,
and respectively promised not to In
crease their maritime armamcnts
during five years. unless the one who
shall wish to increase them shall
give the other is months notice in
advance
The Britannica authority points
out that an agreement CT this kind
is more feasible among states whose
navies are small. because in the case
of large navies it would be difficult
to agree on principle for assess
ment of the proportionate fighting
value.

WILL THE JAPANESE ARMIES
COME TO EUROPE


The discussion of the possible en-
try of Japanese forces into the Euro
pean field of war which has cropped
up since the fall OF Using Tau. must
take into account the terms of the
Anglo-Japanese Treaty of the 18th of
August, 1905. AS quoted in the In :
cyclopedia Britannica. this sets out
its object as follows:
n. "The consideration and main
tenance of the general peace in tho
regions of Eastern Asia and India.
b. 1.-The preservation Of the COM
mon interests of the Powers in Chine.
of insuring the independence and the
integrity Of the Chinese empire, and
the principle OF equal opportunities
for the commerce and industry Of all
nations In China.
C. "The maintenance of the ter
ritorial rights OF the high contract
ing parties In the regions of Eastern
Asia and of India, and the defence
of their special interests in such re-
gions."
These terms would seem by impli-
cation. at least, to confine warlike
operations by Japan to Eastern Az
In and India"

and the affair settled on the Uniyers-

the censors
Ben Burgess, skipper for the city ag-
gregatlon, points to the fact that last
year the victory went to the city. and
asks with scorn how an earth the coun-
~ expects to win over the all-star
team that the city can put into the
field.
From the other camp comes an om-
nous rumble that when traced to its
origin proves to be John c. Lewis, who
maintains that The victory of the city
last year was rank piece of luck He
also warns the city management to
procure dozen good pitchers and
motorcycles for the outfielders when
the big thing starts.

state fair visitors this year will be

The babies this year will first be
taken into a booth where they will be
carefully examined by a skilled physi.

chicken pox Or other contagious dis
eases. If such traces are found, the
child will not be permitted to enter
the contest IF all is well, the child
will be taken to a large reception room
to await his regular turn to go before
two clerks who will take down his his

Next comes the psychology room,

Good News from Father Massardier

Good News from Father Massardier.
A cablegram received here yester-
day afternoon from La. Ricamarie,
France, by Rev. Benedict Stetter,
who is serving as pastor of the local
Catholic church in the absence of
Very Rev. Canon J. NJ T. Massar-
der, brings the good news that far
from having passed out of the land
of the living, as was enormously re
ported in the New Orleans Times
| Picayune of Tuesday morning, good
Father Massardier is somewhat bet
ter and, like the late Mark Twain
Of lamented memory, can say that
| the report of his death was greatly
! exaggerated" This welcome an
nouncement has brought immeasur-
| able happiness to the legion Of
friends Of the beloved prelate in this
| community and elsewhere, whose
earnest hope it is that the improve
!! ment in his condition may prove
permanent and that he may shortly
be enabled to return to Donaldson
willie, where he has labored so zeal
ously for the past twelve years and
is so universally admired and es-
teemed.
The announcement of Father Mas
sardier's demise in Tuesdays Times
Picayune, although appearing under
a Donaldsonville date line, was not
sent that paper by the local
correspondent, who happens to be
the editor of this journal. The lat
ter was called up over the long dis
lance telephone at about o'clock
Monday night by someone in the
Times-Picayune office, who stated
that message had been received by
that publication conveying the news
of Father Massardier's death in
France. Information was requested
as to the priests age, length of SER
vice in Donaldsonvil1e, etc, and this
was furnished to the best of the To-
cal correspondents knowledge Off
hand The item was published the
following morning in the shape of
special from DonaldsonVil1e. (fnci-
dentally, with some of the facts
aWry), when as a matter of truth
the first Information the local cor
respondent had of the reputed death
of Father Massardier was derived
from the statement made to him
over the telephone the night before
by someone in the Times-Picayune
office. The foreign dispatch which
the New Orleans paper is supposed
to have received has never been
published.
