A STATEMENT FROM THE NEW
ORLEANS GREAT NORTHERN

To Our Patrons:
Since completion of improved high
ways in Saint Tammany and Wash
lngton Parishes, every foot of the
New Orleans Great Northern Rail-
road Company's line has been paral-
relied with motor bus passenger serv-
ice, with the exception of he line be-
tween CCyington and Folsom, where
there is practically no passenger
business. a..
The Railroad Company built It's
line through virgin territory with
Its own funds and maintains it at its
own expense. The GUS lines operate
over the improved public highways
without cost to them, whic;l were
built and are being maintained at rhe
expense Of the public, including ..he
Railroad Company. $
The Railroad Company last year
paid $113 100000 taxes in Saint Tam
many and Washington Parishes. IN
comparison, the bus lines paid pra:-
tically no taxes.
The Railroad Company, under the
laws, is required to operate separate
compartments for the white and coll
ored people. It is also required to
maintain separate toiltes for the sex
es of both races. There are no suc.l
regulations governing the operation
of bus lines. White and colorod
people are handled in the same COM
partment with no toilet facilities for
either. 's sss:zsse
The Railroad Company is spending
considerable money each year in an
,endeavor to develop the territory
that 1t serves agriculturally. The
motor bus lines are not doing any
thing in this direction, but are really
benefciaries of this work.
The Railroad Company's passenger
traffic is all local. If the bus lines
continue to take this business away
from the railroad, the Railroad Com
pany will have to discontinue some
OF Its passenger trains. We believe
that 1t is to the best interest of the
territory that we serve that the peo-
pie patronize the passenger trains
rather than the bus lines, as discon-
tinuance Of passenger trains will
mean a curtailment Of mail and OK
press service as well as passenger
service.

MEETING OF GAME AND FISH

There will be a meeting Of the st.
Tammany Game and Fish =Associa-
tion Saturday (to-night), Sept. 9Th,
Conservation Agent J. L. Watkins
informs us that in recent inter-
view with. Commissioners Alexander
he was assured by him that If the
Association would get together and
make proper arrangements he would
have three or: four million young
Trout planted in the main streams of

like a good opportunity for the As

game fish for our streams and We
hope that these arrangements can
be made. II you are interested you
are urged to attend the meeting.
Missouri and a resident Of Coving-
ton for the past two years.
: In the passing away OF our young
friend at the promising age of 18
years, and just as he was entering
his senior year at high school, his
classmates and many friends were
deeply grieved. He was associated
with all of the activities Of the school
and had endeared himself to all by
his many fine traits Of character.
1t was most pathetic on last Mon
day morning when the entire high
school, with Prof. A. j. Park, paid
their last sad respects to one whom
they expected and hoped to greet in
his place on the opening day. The
funeral was largely attended and
took place from the residence Of his
brother, and the Methodist Church,
Rev. John F. Foster officiating at a
most touching and beautiful service.
Lovely flowers covered the grave as
last token to one who was so young
to die but will live in the memory OF
those who love and mourn him.

BATON ROUGE SUNDAY NEWS
SUPPORTS JUDGE CLAY
ELLIOTT FOR COURT
OF APPEAL BENCH
Duty of Judge Ellis To End His Term
As District Judge and Dispose
of Case of Six Italians
(From Hammond Vindicator)

(From Hammond Vindicator)
Below we reproduce very strong
editorial from the Baton Rouge Sun
day News relative to the race for
Court of Appeal between Judge Clay
Elliot and Judge Robert S. Ellis.
The editorial speaks for itself in
clearly distinguishing the fact that
Judge Elliott is the logical man for
the position in question We COM
mend it to the careful consideration
of our readers. 1t summarizes the
issue as follows:
The race for the Court Of Appeal
between Judge Clay Elliott and
Judge r. r Ellis is exciting consid-
cradle interest, both candidates hav-
ing warm friends here.
In view of the fact that this Court
handles civil cases only, we believe
that Judge Clay Elliott Is estsquali-
fed to hold the Office, inasmuch as
he has specialized in civil law, Ia a
close student, and has enjoyed for
over thirty years, an extensive prac..
tice
He is native OF the Florida Par
ishes, Z man who has risen In his
profession solely through ris own ef-
forts and highly esteemed by a large
circle of friends He was elected 20
tue State Senate and afterwards Dis
trict Judge, serving his constituents
faithfully, and fearlessly.
Judge Elfis Is now holding the or
flee of District Judge in his District,
his term Of Office not expiring until
the latte:: part OF 1924. He presld-
ed at the noted trial of the six Itali-
ans, which is now on a second appeal
&c the supreme Court; the flrst
verdict OF guilty having been set
aside by the Supreme Court because
of the failure of Judge Ellis to charge
the jury III writing as required by
law. Two prominent citizens In Tan
,gipahoa parish have been indicted <by
he grand jury for perjury in cons
nection with the second trial of these
italians. They have not been tried:
If Judge Ellis is elected to the
Court oe Appeal he is required oy
law to resign as District Judge; if h &
is not elected he may retain his Of
dce Of District Judge until the cad
Of his term.
Judge Ellis having presided at TIM
trial Of the Italians, is, we believe
under the duty to retain his office o;
District Judge until this noted case
has been finally disposed Of and tbs
guilty parties punished.
Therefore, in the interest of the
administration of the civil law, by
the Civil Court of Appeal, we favor
a civil lawyer for that court, Judge
Clay Elliott. In the interest Of en-
forcement of the criminal law, We
favor the retention of Judge Ellis In
the District Court until the end of
lis present term.

DISTINGUISHED CAST IN
"THE CALL OF HOME"

L. J. Cashier has produced several
notable screen productions since he
created "Kismet," with Otis Skin
ner in the leading role. His produc-
tions, have always been noted for
their distinction, their high dramat-
ic interest, their unrivalled casts
and the finish Of settings, costum-
ing, etc.
Now Cashier makes another bid
for prestige in ''The Call of Home, I"
which is to be shown for the first
time at the Liberty theatre on Sun
day. 1t is the picturized version
of George Chamberlain novel,
"Home," which was published in
the Century Magazine end won
thousands of new admirers for the
author.
Although brilliant cast and fine
story are among the important
features Of "The Call Of Home, =
the spectacular flood scenes that
pile thrill upon thrill lift this pro-
duction among the really big ones
