GO SLOWLY WITH PAROLES.

Because OF a firm belief in the
theory of the parole OF state cOnVicts,
and desire to see it have fair test
in practice, we suggest that the
Parole Board act with more caution in
the parole of such prisoners as apply
for clemency, lest the whole system be
discredited. The treacherous murder
committed by one trusty has endan-
gered the whole honor system OF the
Joliet penitentiary. In like manner
louisiana parole system may be
jeopardized by undue ieniency on the
part of the Parole Board, especially
towards such prisoners as have most
Ifagrantly outraged public opinion. The
Board has already come under criti-
cism in this respect, and with some
justice. Men, who have embeZzled
thousands OF dollars to the great loss
and suffering Of the public, have been
ouWAIIOO W PebAOASJ c1nO ~ 10 ehS5O
cases, which excite adverse comment.
The probability is that these men are
not truly repentant, and the very
nature Of their crime, makes it exceed
ingly difficult to guarantee the public
against a repetition on their part of
similar crimes. The chances all are
that they had fair trial, and that
every evasion possible under the law
was resorted to in their behalf before
they donned convict garb, hence the
public feels that justice is defeated of
her ends, when their terms of punish
ment are unduly shortened.
The same feeling is not evoked by
Tightening the sentence, = giving a
chance-tO some poor white or ig-
norant, misguided negro, without
| friends, money or influence, upon
whom some careless judge has laid a
hand too heavy. 1t is for such as
these, that the clemency of parole is
Especially suited, therefore it is to be
hoped that the Parole Board will be
more cautious in the exercise of it's
powers, or the whole system "ill be
abolished before it has had fair trial.

NEWSPAPER ACCURACY.

(Lake Charles American-Press.)
Nothing amuses country newspaper
man quite SO much as to see glaring
break" made by naughty metro
politan newspaper that sneers frequent
ly and unnecessarily at it's humble
brethren. To keep the record straight,
however, it should be stated that no
profession equals journalism for &C
|curacy and volume of work turned out
at high pressure, and this applies as
much to the country newspaper man
who solicits advertising, collects bills,
jollies patrons, sets type and helps get
out the mail in connection with his
literary labors as it does to the trained
city worker specializing in one depart
ment In the legislature one lawyer
will labor in the composition of bill,
another group of lawyers will carefully
scrutinize it, lawyers on both sides of
the chamber by scores will vote for it
and lawyer governor will consider
and sign it, and then the supreme court
may decide that it is imperative be-
cause of faulty or uncertain language.
If newspaper were edited the same
way, it would get out about once a
year, and the yearly issue would likely
contain twice as many errors as can be
found in an ordinary daily newspaper.

Representative G. L. Caulfeld Of
East Feliciana says that he will not be
a candidate for delegate to the COnsti-
tutional Convention, not considering it
ethical to run for an Office which his
vote helped to create. Mr.. Caulfield is
too much alone in this position, las
numbers of the legislators seem to
have no such scruples. While doing so
is not prohibited, as the question after
all goes to the people for determine
ton, and does not depend primarily
upon the legislature, Mr.. Caulfeld's
course shows delicacy of political
conscience that might well be emulated.

CONFERENCE OF HEALTH
OFFICERS.

An effort is making to hold a con-
ference of the health officers, parish
and municipal, of the state, July 1916,
at New Orleans. A notice to that effect
was published in these columns, last
week, but it is Of sufficient Importance
to receive extended comment. The
necessity for health work, combining
unceasing vigilance and intelligent in
formation, is fact patent to all, and
no surer way can be found to this end
than to raise the standards Of purpose
and ambition Of the local health Off
GERS throughout the state. Too many
health officers are such only in name,
passing their time in quiescent stage,
so far as regards the duties of their
Office, and reused to action only when
some dread disease threatens tn be-
come epidemic.
OF course, this should not be the
case. The aim Of these officials should
be to insure perfect health for their
respective communities, not merely to
ward off some particular disease; I'M
ceasing vigilance, knowledge and in
telligence are all required to accom-
plish this purpose, and anything is
desirable that will inform the health
officer and also Undue him with a deep
sense Of public duty and the Importance
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1915-07-03

Of his Office. A conference with his
fellow officers will no doubt do much
towards awakening him on these
points, hence is to be commended.
The police juries and municipal au-
thorities will be asked to defray the
expenses of their health officers attend
ing the conference. The expense will
be slight in comparison with the good
that may result, if the health officers
are even but half convinced of the
Importance of the conference and only
partly DESTROYS of being benefited. The
conference should do the rest.

READHTO-TAkE MEDICINES.

The above adjective phrase, ready.
to-take, is the latest way 10 describe
patent medicines, II one may Judge by
a circular now going by mail to the
newspaper offices OF the country. This
circular is headed: Why the Doctor
is opposed to patent medicines" and
purpOrts to be reproduced from the
Columbus Medical Journal, Jan. 1915"
although no clue is given as to where
the Columbus referred to is, or in what
issue OF the periodical, this remarkable
ettusiOn appeared. 1t is hard to believe
that any reputable medical journal,
published in the interests OF the medl-
Cal profession, or for its information,
would publish so senseless an attack
upon physicians, its very obvious pur-
pose being to put up as plausible an
argument as possible for the patent, or
it you please the ready-to-take medi-
cine. 1t argues that the whole trend
of medical legislation is to make it
more and more difficult for any one but
a physician to. get anything from a
drugstore. 1t claims that the doctors
for selt-interest are at the bottom OF
this legislation, citing an instance as
follows:
Let us take some advertised remedy
for coughs and colds and catarrh. Mil
lions OF people have coughs, colds and
catarrh. Millions Of people know that
this advertised medicine is remedy
for coughs, colds and catarrh. Every
person who goes to the drugstore and
purchases bottle OF the advertised
remedy and cures himself OF one OF
these ailments, is in reality cutting the
ground from under the doctors feet
And every case cured in this irregular,
way is dead loss to the doctor and
the medical profession"
All this might be entirely true, if all
coughs, colds and catarrhs were identi-
Cal, but physicians, also other we'll
informed people, know that coughs,
and other diseases are as various as
the individual, being complicated in
each instance by peculiarities, possibly
eco-eXistent diseases in the individual,
making it exceedingly difficult, at
times, for even a skilled and careful
physician to make correct diagnosis.
How then can the patent medicine
vendor give long distance treatment
correctly?
Apart from the fact that patent med.
icines contain an oVerplus OF alcohol
and other habit-forming drugs, they
cannot cure, save by rare accidents, if
ever. The circular argues that they
are so much cheaper than the doctors
fees, but it may be fairly suspected
that drugstore sales would tell diff
ferent story. The poor and the ig-
norant spend prodigious amount for
chill tonics, febrifuges and the like,
far more than the doctor would have
them spend for quinine. For instance,
people who acquire the Peruna habit
will spend several dollars month for
this medicine. SQuaW-root attracts
many willing dollars from the pockets
Of suffering working-women. The doc
tor could never cost more, and they
must come to him in the end, and he
has the task Of trying to rehabilitate
constitutions Slapped by the indulgence
in patent medicines.
The physician is behind much medi-
Cal legislation, but not merely with an
eye to fees, but for a pride in his pro-
fession, his own success, and the good
of humanity.
