a DAYLIGHT HOif1D

The prohibition lobby at Baton Rouge,
through threat to defeat the SO, 600
bond issue demanded b. New Orleans, has
forced through the senate the near-beer
bill. The bill is one that prohibits the
sale in the state Of near-beer-a beverage
which is admitted to be Notwithstanding.
The hackers Of this measure forced tour
New Orleans senators to vote with them or
suffer the defeat Of financial measure that
was Of great moment to the city OF New
Orleans, but which had no connection or re-
lation to the near-beer bill.
Near-beer in itself is as harmless as tea,
coffee, soda-water, grape juice and other
catch-penny sIush, and along with intoXl-
icants no one would care if its manufacture
was absolutely prohibited. But two things
connected with the conduct Of these self
appointed moralistS gals any fair-minded
man. first, the threat to defeat legitimate,
legislation unless they have their way; sec
ond, the admission that near-beer is harm
less, but furnishes a stand where other
liquor can be sold contrary to law. AS to
the first proposition, the legislature is held
up just like the man who is robbed at the
point Of a gun by highwayman.
AS to the second proposition, if the near
beer business place furnishes a stand for
the sale of intoXicants, then it reduces the
difficulty of officers in locating this violation
of the law and should make easier appre-
sion and conviction of the guilty.
But we suppose that the real purpose
served is to keep IN the pay of these self
appointed champions Of the .teetOtalerS,
which can thus be done by furnishing work
for the paid lobbyists.
These same gentlemen would stop the
sale of sweet milk if necessary to showsthat
through their power and influence they Were
earning their money.

Judicial RediSfrictiH6

1t is generally admitted that the Judi
cial districts of the state can be enlarged
without destroying efficiency by OverwOrk-
ing the judges.
The salaries of the Judges and the dis
trict attorneys constitute only small part
Of the cost of civil and criminal adminstra-
ton. A part of this expense is borne by
the parishes and part is borne directly by
the people The cost Of criminal pro-
including the apprehension and the
maintainance of criminals, is paid by the
parishes. Civil expenses are paid by those
who are so unfortunate as to be Iitigants
These expenses are reduced by the eXpedi-
tiOn of judicial business or are increased by
judicial delays. Hence the legislature should
take into consideration the effect that re-
districting would have on the expense to
the parishes and to the people as well as
the effect that it would have on the state.
We have noted on other propositions a
tendency to save money for the state with
out taking into consideration the effect on
the parishes or the people.
InlS reminds us OF the process OF riding
a shOrt-gaited horse-we get great deal
jolting, but don't travel very far.
In rediStrlcting the actual cost to the
people should be considered.
Do not lose sleep about overworlling the
Judges. We have never known one to die
of overwork. In fact, they seem to enjoy
remarkable longevity, and many of chem,
though we'll up in years, admit that they
are still able to do good days work.
The question Of disarrangement Of po-
litical lines the tearing down of judicial
fences is the issue that should be ignored
by the legislature
The balance Of the matter is one of
facts and figures. Both are easy to obtain
and easy to digest.

We are beginning to get in few prac-

newcomer will make success of farming
in Madison.
The possibilities Of our soil are un-
equaled, but it is too much to expect it to
change mstantaneousiy northern merchant
or artizan into a practical farmer Madison
can furnish fine farms for practical farmers,
but she has nothing that will spell success
for the agriculturalist who knows nothing
about the business.
And we can supply good home for the
tradesman in the line Of business in which
he has bad experience, but let Us impress it
upon the seller as well the buyer that this
country can be improved only b the immi-
grafton of men who are equipped for farm
conditions.
Real estate men have set this section
back by selling lands to men who were not
practical farmers. Such purchasers are
bound to make failures and such failures
are bound TO react u the dctrimcnt Of the

kefore the JOURNAL again makes its
appearance the great parties Of the union
will have selected standard bearers. The
democratic party will name Wilson. There
is still great doubt whether the Pro
gr2ssiva and the Republicans can unite On a
cmdidate Until the last twelve hours it
looked like Hughes would be the strong man.,
bat late reports indicate that the Procre =
siye opposition to him makes his defeat al
most certain. There is not much enthusiasm
in the ranks of the old time republicans,
which locks good for Wilson, whether the
two branches unite or not.

To the layman it looks like Germany is
approaching crisis IN her military affairs
The sOrtic of her fleet, in which her losses
were nearly, if not equal to those Of the
enemy; her continued attack on Verdun
with larger losses than her enemies, indi-
cues some contingency that forces her from
the policy OF getting an even break in every
attack. The plan Of the allies is to sacrifice
man for man ship Tor ship hence the re-
cent moves Of Germany seems to be playing
into the enemies hands.
