PROPERTY OWNERS RESPONSIBLE

A HAT Mayor Conway had to say yesterday
about the responsibility Of property owners for
the dissraceful conditions that used to exist in jack
son street is true, every BIT Of it And the same re-
sponsibiliy exists all over the cit-n Water street
and Hull alley and Pennsylvania avenue Just as much
as in jackson street.
This responsibility is 50 clear that it is provided in
the criminal code Of this state that municipalities may
proceed against people who own buildings which are
used for certain specified improper purposes and upon
conviction the owners are punishable with the same
fines and imprisonment as the people who actually
are in charge Of the property.
In actual practice however it is not easy to convict
under these acts. A much better way is to tum on
with full force the spot light called publicity Mayor
Conway has made good start He probably would
be astOnished over the results if he were to go BIT

Editorial Comment

sHORTAGE or MINISTERS

'itSn FtA6 VT mtNlo lEhS
From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times
It Is announced that 10000 Pro-
testant pulpits will be vacant next
year with email supply of ministers
on which to draw. A census Of the
graduates of theological seminaries
reveals but about 1900 young men
to fill all vacancies. There has
been a general decrease in the. can
didates for the Ministry since 1915.
This decreas was felt by the Ro-
man Catholics too In the number
seeking to enter the priesthood,
but there has been almost complete
recovery there. However, the Pro
testant denominations can see no
relief in sight. Many reasons are
offered for the reluctance Of young
men to seek the ministry but a sug-
gestion from the Harvard Divinity
school doubtless contains the gist
OF the matter when 1t says that
the decline in the economic status
Of the minister and the correspond
ing decline in his social influence
are most important contributory
causes"
Too many persons who consider
themselves in good standing as com
municants appear to regard the min
lister as a sort Of mendicant yet if
he is worth having at all he should
be paid n salary commensurate
with his position and II should be
paid Just as promptly as any other
employer pays his employees. Meth

That no one country can stand aside,

IN selfish glory and careless pride.

The voice Of reason at length has spoken;

Perchance the fetish of War is broken.

And the world be freed Of II monstrous burden

That Peace Forever would be our guerdonl
We've chosen to dawdle and balk and walt

DROWNED IN BOGUE
FALAYA RIVER

Edward A. Campbell, aged about
10 years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. e.
Campbell, of Military Road, was
drowned in the Bogue Falaya river
Saturday evening. The family had
gone fishing near. Sulphur Springs
and little Edward asked permission
to play in the sand on the shore.
He was told to be careful and not
go to the river. Evidently the temp
tation was too great for him. He
had put on a bathing suit, and it is
thought he crossed OF the other side
of the river in a boat. He had left
his clothing in a bath house. Not
finding him when they were ready
to return home, the party concluded
Edward had gone on ahead, and they
returned without him. Not finding
him at home Mr.. Campbell. returned
to search for him and found his
clothing. It was then getting dark
and a searching party was formed,
without results. Sunday the boys
uncle, Mr.. Fitzjohn, a professional
diver, came over from New Orleans
and the body was recovered in one
of the deep places near a log, nine
minutes after three. It was prepar-
ed for burial by Mr.. c. M. Poole and
taken to New Orleans for interment.
