HoNoRED AS GREAT TEACHER
Works Of Euclid, Ancient Mathemati-
clan, the Foundation Of the
Science of Geometry.

Euclid was an ancient mathemati-
clan, who is said by some to have
ilourished in the third century before
the Christian era. 1t is generally
held that he was Greek, but the date
and place of his birth are unknown
1t is generally held that much of his
work was done mt Alexandria, Egypt
which in those ancient times was
famous seat of learning and the cen
ter of extensive commerce. The most
famous work of Euclid that has come
down to us is the Elements of Geom-
etry in 13 books. The first six are the
most valuable. They contain the
foundation of geometry, on which Is
based several branches of higher
mathematics. These books are still
used in schools and colleges. The
next three books deal with the prop
critics of numbers but they are super
seded by modern arithmetic. Euclid
also left other works. such as treatises
on harmony and optics.

fruits, there are many combinations
with nuts which make most palatable
dishes. The following are quite worth
trying:
Egg Plant With Peanut Stuffine.-
Boil the egg plant until partly cooked,
scoop out the inside leaving wall
half an inch thick. Chop fine the part
taken out, and mix with equal parts of
bread and peanuts. Fill the shells and
bake half an hour.
Boiled and mashed chestnuts are
good used as stufling for fowl or any
game. Cook them, after blanching, in
the broth from the game, until tender.
ham, n half-cupful of bread crumbs, n
seasoning of salt and pepper and
dash of vinegar. Mix and moisten
with melted butter. using four table
spoonfuls; add the beaten yolks of two
eggs. and stuff the bird several hours
before baking so that the meat will
be well seasoned.
Nut sandwiches, using pecRns, pea
nuts, walnuts, hickory nuts, and In
fact any sweet nut, minced and mixed
with cream, bit of salt and spread
on buttered graham bread, are good
enough for anybody.
Brussels sprouts are often served
with nuts. Cook a quart OF brussels
sprouts in salted water, drain and put
into saucepan with two tablespoon
fuls of lard; add three-quarters of
pound Of chestnuts which have been
cooked until soft; simmer for half
hour until well seasoned. Serve with
roast pork.

STATE JETAOIN SHRDLUUU
WALKER SPENCER OF NEW
ORLEANS OUTLINES HIS
IDEA OF DEFECTS IN
JUDICIARY.

Here are the defects Of the ju.
dietary system Of Louisiana, as
sketched from Attorney Walker
Spencer address Thursday tc
the members council Of the Asso-
citation Of Commerce:
Some courts are years behind in
their work, others have nothing to
do-because Of the distribution of
the districts.
j Justice of the peace courts
have become an instrument Of
the poor man IS oppression"
The political system under
which judges are chosen develops
"sycophancy and subserience
rather than those qualities Of can
dor, sincerity, firm adherence to
principles Of justice regardless Of
persons, and aloofness that puts
litigants oman equality"
As a result we have ga med
iocre judiciary. poorly paid, inef-
ficiently organized, hampered by
archaic procedure.
Here is how Mr.. Spencer, en-
dorsing the plan being developed
bv the Bar Association of Louisi-
ana, would have the constitutional
convention change the system:
Selecting Judges.
GA Supreme Judicial Council,
which is body composed of -
judges longest in the service, and
occupying the highest judicial po-
sitions in the state namely: The
chief justice and three associate
justices of the supreme court the
four presiding judges of the four
courts Of appeal, and the four
presiding ,Ndges Of the four dis
trict would nominate to
the governor five men, from which
number he may select one. The
name of the one selected by the
governor shall then be submitted
to the senate for confirmation or
rejection. If the nominee is con-
firmed by the senate then at the
next general election at which a
governor is to be voted for this
question is to be submitted to the
electors of the territorial iurisdic-
ton of such nominee. IF a ma
joritv of the electors shall vote in
the negative, then the incumbency
of such nominee shall cease with
in 30 DAYS after the PRONUNCIATION
of such election, and the governor
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1920-12-11

shall appoint a successor, other
wise such judge shall continue in
office.
cat every subsequent general
election all judges who have
served more than four years
again come before the electorate.
If majroity shall vote in the
negative, the judge is retired from
office. Thus every judge is sub
ject to retirement by direct vote
of the people if his judicial CON
duct has been such as not to meet
with the approval Of a majority
Of the electors. "
Organization of Courts.
First we divide the state into
four judicial districts instead Of
81. We then set up four grades
Of courts, namely: The supreme
court Of seven justices, which is
the final arbiter, Of the law, ana
which has direct appellate juris-
diction in important matters and
supervisory jurisdiction over all
other courts, and see that the law
is kept uniform in all courts four
intermediate appellate courts,
called courts Of appeal-one for
each judicial district, and com
posed of three judges, each hav-
ing an appellate jurisdiction COW
ering all cases not appealable to
the supreme court and thus re-
lieving the supreme court of a
large amount of unnecessary
work; four district courts
for each Judicial district, and COM
poses of from five to ten judges,
according to the size and necessi-
ties of the districts which courts
have original jurisdiction such as
is now employed by our present
district courts ;fand one parish
court for each parish, composed
of one or more judges, as neces-
sity may distate, and which shall
exercise the jurisdiction now
vested in. the justices of the peace
and the other inferior criminal
and civil courts.
"The creation of these courts
will increase the appellate judges
by five and will reduce, after 1924.
the district judges by II, and the
inferior judges by about $50. I'll
will enable the state to have
trained lawyers on the bench in
every court, and pay larger sala-
ries without unduly increasing the
total cost Of the judiciary.
"The judges of these court are
interchangeable, so that no court
need be without the necessary
number of judges to promptly per-
