THE LAW WAS ABUSED.

A short time before the recent su- preme court decision which said it was no violation of the bone dry law to bring liquor into the state for one's own personal use, there were sworn officers of the law, plying on the trunk railroads. robbng the pub lie. The news of this was published in the press, and was regarded so lightly that nothing ever was done a5out the matter
 It was stated that officers would board train, pick mp all the grips and suit cases, scramble through them. and if bottle happened to be found, ask whose suit case fl was. The owner, a stranger in a strange land, and terrified. would not claim the suit case. and the officer of the law was ahead suit case and con- tents.
 Trunks have been broken open promiscuously.
 The government found that it's law was being imposed upon, and some time go ordered that government of ficials cease their searches generally for hidden liquors. This did not mean any laxity on the part of the government in it's effort at law en- forcement, but was necessary to pro teot the public against abuses under the law.
 The next legislature will no doubt make plain the purpose of the pres ent law so that it will be interpreted that to bring in liquor is a violation of the law-ibut the same legislature ought to take one more step, and that ought to be, make it a felony for any officer to abuse the privileges given under the act, and it ought alsC 10 give the traveller the right to pro. tect his property even to being jus tified in shooting an imposter.
 When the laws are absurd people have disrespect for them, and wher the law enforcement is made the medium of personal plunder of the public, the public has contempt Tor both law and officials of the law
 This business of cracking up trunks and of seizing and stealing suit cases of through travellers Will be stopped now for awhile, and waen the law is changed to more amply protect against liquor being brought in, it should also be written for the protection of those who are not li- quor carriers.

NEW POLL TAX LAW.

Heretofore it has been the rule that the payment of a poll tax the year before the election, and the proof thereof contained in voting list, has been necessary to exercise your suffrage. That law is changed now
 In the election that will be held in May some new rules are applied, aad the heads Of the political organaa- lions of city and county might as well begin their politics 10 this end.
 One of the important changes IS that there must be more voting pre- cincts for the people. Under the new law not more than 100 votes are to be cast in a precinct which means that the first ward is to be cut in two. the second ward in three, aud lsoath Hot Springs precinct into about four voting places. To sm- plfy this, the numbers of the pie- cincts will all have to be made over again, and the public should be ia miliarzea with the new political lines. and with their own voting pre- oinct.
 Then there is a new rule by which a tax receipt must be shown if de- manded. in proof that the tax las been paid. The election judges sre the authority on this, 5at usually tho rwe is laid down by the election commissioners or some party organ ization. If the tax receipts are 10 b, demanded of even the well knoSr taxpayers, 1t should be so stated Il the tax receipt is merely to be ex- hibited on challenge. or where doabi exists. that should be stated

NATIVE OF ST. LANDRY DIES
IN FAR-oFF WASHINGTON
Arthur 9. Hicks, Son Of Late +. A.
Hicks Of Rosa, Passes in the
Far Northwest

Inadvertently The Clarion failed to
mention in its last isue the recent
death of Arthur B. Hicks, native of
Rosa, this parish, which occurred at
a hospital in Seattle. Washington, a
short time ago. The deceased was
forty-seven years of age, the son of
the late Thomas A. Hicks, who held
several positions of trust and always
acquitted himself with honor, having
been a member of the police jury and
the constitutional convention of 1898.
Young Hicks moved to the north
west some years ago and since his
residence there became a noted de-
tectiVe and was considered a terror to
the Industrial Workers of the World.
The Seattle Times, commenting on
Mr.. Hicks death, has this to say:
Arthur B. Hicks, for the past five
years special agent in the detection
of crimes and recovery of thousands
of dollars worth of property stolen
from the Puget Sound Traction, Light
and Power Company and other Stone
and Webster properties i nthe Pacific

serter to the nearest army camp, post
or station he may in accordance with
Section 2 of that order, collect a re-
ward of $50, or he may be reimbursed
for actual necessary and reasonable
red by him in connection with such
apprehension and de livery, not exceed
ing $50. If the local board finds that
the offense was not wilful and does
not furnish a certificate on Form 1921,
no reward may be collected, but the
officer is entitled to reimbursement
for actual necessary and reasonable
! expenses incurred, not exceeding $50
e man for apprehension and delive-
cry of the deserter to a local board.
Section 3 General Orders No. IS pre-
scribes the method to be followed in
this case.
ut sometimes happens that a state
police official arrests a suspected de-
linquent or deserter and incurs ex-
pense in that Connection and for the de-
tention of the suspect in jail until the
arrival of a federal officer, such as a
SPECIAL agent of the department of JUS
tice or a United States deputy mar
shall. In such case it is the duty Of
the federal officer taking custody of
the suspect to arrange the reimburse
ment of the police officer. II it de-
velops that the suspect is a deserter
and the agent or deputy marshal de-
livers him to the military camp, b
should claim reimbursement, not onl
for his own expenses, but for the e1
penses incurred by the state police O
fetal. The agent or deputy marsha
may personally reimburse the state pj
lice official and subsequently colled
therefor on Form 349 or Form 350-4
or separate accounts may be submitte
This is a matter which the state polio
officer should arrange at the time |
releases custody Of the suspect.
while it is realized that this is
subject of considerable difficulty
practical application it is believed thu
by careful study Of the provisions
General Orders No. 26 of March
1918, and by conference and cooper
ton with the United States marsha
for the eastern and western distrie
of Louisiana, it will be possible to
range methods whereby state or 2
lice officers may collect rewards or
be reimbursed for actual expenses

hension and detention or delivery of
