JUDGE PAWS TRUE RECORD.

In accordance with my promise to the people, present herewith q
detailed statement Of Judge PAWS record insofar as cases appealed 10
the Supreme Court are concerned. This statement covers az O. easgs in ~

none AMENDED by the Supreme Court. In the first place tfe Judge
has not given any account whatever of his record insofar as Eyanse-
line Parish is concerned.
/ have told the people, and now reHerate, that Judge PAWS cases
appealed to the Supreme Court Cup to and including the fSs La nave
been declared by that court to have been erroneous IN more than 5o per
cent of the cases appealed to that court from this court [ now present
the proof Of that assertion, showing him to have been in error in 554-5
per cent of his civil cases. The public must understand that Judge
Paws record, as given in his circular, does not show that a single one of
his cases have been RENAMED or AMENDED by the Supreme Court
it means simply that the case has been so badly bungIed in the lower
court that the higher court cannot consistently reverse or affirm it,
hence it is REMANDED to the lower court to be tried according to law.
When a case is amended by the higher court it shows that the lower
court has butchered the job, and the higher court proceeds to amend OF.
patch up the judgment of tae lower court so that it will conform with
the law and facts.
Judge Payy has been reversed remanded or amended by the SUI
preme Court according to the published Supreme Court Reports up to
VI. 1881 in a fration over FIFTY-FIVE PER CENT, of the civil cases
appealed from his court to the SUPREME Court, and a fraction over
FORTY THREE PER CENT, of the criminal cases appealed from this
court to the Supreme Court.
His record IN the Court of Appeals is too lengthy for publication in
this issue, but | am prepared to show any interested party that his cases
appealed to that court have been declared erroneous in nearly one-third
of the cases appealed.
Judge Paws TRUE RECORD is as follows, and { herewith give the
number and title of each case, the volume of the Louisiana Reports in
which it is published and the page of the volume, viz:

WOMEN Want EQUAL CHANCE
FOR GOVERNMENT JOBS |

Al the last meeting Of the executive
board Of the Delaware Equal Suf-
frage Association. held recently. the
following resolution. passed by the
Board Of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association was
adopted.
Whereas, Il has been brought to our
attention that In filling positions in
the civil service officials OF the Fed
eral Government discriminate against
women because OF their sex; and.
Whereas, Public records show that
since September s. 1916. among 100
appointments and 80 transfers TO cler-
ical positions in the War Department
at Washington only one woman was
included, although il does not appear
that the positions we're such that sex
would have been a factor in eficien ey
or suitability: and.
Whereas. The civil service registers
OF eligibles from which said appoint
ments were made reveal no lack or
corresponding disproportion Of quali-
fled women as compared with quail
fed men, there being 937 women and
l20S men on those registers on Oc-
tober %. 1916; and,
Whereas The discriminatory atti-
tude Of officials Of the government is
further reelected in the fact that
women are not admitted to the spe-
cial civil service examinations Tor

ing held monthly in 400 cities OF the

Whereas. This 'scrimlnation ap-
pears further in the fact, as set forth
in the Civil Service Manual, that the
usual entrance salary for men stenog-
raphers and typewriters Is $500 per
year. while for women stenographers
and typewriters II is $500 and VIC
