Sanders has au- its thorized no announcement it has the become known, as a result of his be( recent visit to New Orleans, that I two important officials whose re- thf tirement was at one time expect- of ed are to remain in office during Sa the tenure of the new adminis- sta tration because the Governor has sio convinced himself that their work arc has been marked by the highest tui degree of efficiency and redound- tut ed to the very best interests of Slo the State. These officials are: mn tin Dr. Clarence Pierson, superin tendent of the insane asylum at Jackson. ye G. A. Kilgore, member of the or Board of Control of the State of Penitentiar'y. in Dr. Pierson was appointed by co Gov. Blanchard to succeed Dr. m G. A. B. Hays, who was trans- te ferred to the asylum at Pineville. During the Legislature Dr. Hays advised the Governor of his wish voluntarily to retire from the or superintendency and return to S his home in Plaquemine and it in was then said that Dr. Pierson would probably be transferred it to Pineville, located in his home parish, and Dr. J. N. Thomas, Y formery State quarantine officer rm and now with the United States w Public Health Service, would 0 succeed him. to The Governor however, has bt been making an investigation, by 0 I personal visit and otherwise, of I conditions at Jackson, and has 0 been deeply impressed with the b character of work Dr. Pierson l has done, both in a professional C and executive capacity. Many 0 thousands of dollars have been saved to the State as a result of the Doctor's management and in a spite of the insufficient appropri- c .ations per capita, as compared i with those to like institutions in other States, the condition of the inmates is said to be most excel lent. Dr. Pierson will therefore be permittod to continue the splendid service he has been ren dering, Governor Sanders on Wednes day named the new board for the Pineville asylum. It will ,meet for purposes of organization early in the New Year and Dr. Hays' successor will then in all proba bility be named. There is no in timation yet as to who he will be, As to Dr. Thomas, whose ability the Governor holds in the high est esteem, it is said he may yet be offered a position of dignity and responsibility under the new government. Mr. Kilgore's term expired on Oct. 1. During the session of the Legislature it was said he would Sbe allowed to complete his term Sbut would not be recommission ed, the names of Mr. Dossman of St. Landry, Senator Watson of St. Helena, and ex-Sheriff Young of Baton Rouge being suggested for the places of Commissioners Kilgore and Gondran and War den Reynaud. Mr. Young was subsequently appointed warden. Mr. Dossman was offered a place on the board but not caring to live in Baton Rouge accepted the presidency of the Oyster Com mission instead. Since the Legislature the Gov ernor has visited the State tarms and given much attention to an investigation of the affairs of the nenitentiarv board. As a result he has become convinced that Mr. Kilgore's service has been marked by unremitting energy, thorough familiarity with the de. tails of the penitentiary work and distinct executive ability and hE has had added for that convictior President Heard's strong in dorsement of Kilgore's record In consequence it is said the Governor has about made up hi mind to recommission Mr. Ki' . gore. Nothing is known of hi hof intentions with respect to M, Gondran, who succeeded R. , Sims and who has s ill some time TIE to serve. President Heard's brief admin istration of the affairs of the pen itentiary system is understood to have resulted in large econo mies without any impairment of its efficiency and the condition of the convicts is said never to have been better. Unless some emergency arises there will be no special session your of the Legislature. Governor Sanders is authority for that valu; statement. The Tax Commis sion organized by Gov. Blanch pres chili ard reported to the last Legisla ture the advisability of a consti tutional convention or extra ses ana sion to consider tax and assess ment reforms and it was said at time the latter might be conven ed this fall or some time next as N year. It is said that later the Govern or may consider the advisability nesa of a twenty-day session merging into the regular session in 1910 to ,H consider such legislation but the litt matter has not yet been even tentatively discussed. A Debatable Question. dre Under the caption of "Govern- frol or Sanders and the Rascals," the tak Sugar Planter prints the follow- age ing: "We agree with the Watchman in lea its comments on Governor Sanders' 12t1 action which is quoted herewith and wil think that before the close of another ap year he will have the last one of the rascals behind the prison bars or they will have to take to the woods: Bu "Governor Sanders has turned up more ras- Or cals and exposed more rottenness than all of the governors of this state combined, for the past twenty-five years. He expects to chase tiol the last high-grade thief into the penitentiary. lic Our best wishes are with him in his efforts." Like many another governor coY of Louisiana, Mr. Sanders has in been paying political debts, als~o ani political grudges. Some of his hei ]changes are good, some bad, and for others indifferent, but for every pr 1"high grade thief" punished, he i has made twice as many "queer" Slappointments. Our short mem. Jo ioried contemporaries must also 1 be reminded that the thieving tax-collectors were discovered in e Gov. Blanchard's admininstration. 1. Accident, not design, caused Ma 'e loney's detection, and to all the e other "high crimes and ms4de meanors"-in Baton Rouge andg Natchitoches--the doctrine of restitution has alone been ap plied. t When "America" Was Sung for the First H y Time.

Religious Society Seeking Catholic Domes in Louisiana for Orphan Children New Orleans, Dec. 26., 1908. Dear Editor:-In the name of the fatherless ones, we appeal to your charitable heart to inform the members of your community through the columns of your valuable paper, that we have at present 1750 bright, healthy children, between the ages of 2 and 4 years, for whom we desire to find Catholic homes in Louisi ana. Those who open their doors and take one of these darlings to their heart will never regret it, as we know by experience that God fills such homes with mate rial blessings, as well as happi ness, to say nothing of the eter nal reward, which is promised: "He that shall receive one such little child in my name." (Mat thew xvm-5.) Children will be sent neatly dressed to their n-w homes, free from any expense, and will be taken back at any time up to the age of 16,.if found unsatisfactory. As a party of 50 children will leave for New Orleans, January 12th, it is desirable that parties willing to take one should make application to the nearest Catho lic priest, or by mail to Joseph C. Butler, Hotel Gruenwald, New Orleans, LI a. Relying upon your co-opera tion with us by giving full pub licity to foregoing, for which we cordially thank you in advance. in the name of our little charges, and invoking blessings upon your head, we are, with best wishes for your spiritual and material prosperity for the coming year, Your humble servants, Sisters of Charity, - Jos. C. Butler, a Accredited Representative. SA NesWaprWTribUte wi *d . How ad! How disappointing! Shortly after the session of the e Legislature in 1906 the writer of . this compiled the changes in the d game laws made by that body into a brief abstract, which was published once, or maybe .twice, in these columns. But our con. temporary, the West Baton it Rouge Sugar Planter, with a keener appreciation of our work tt than we felt ourselves, has pub lished it continuously ever since. 5- Through good weather and bad, is through 111 and fair report, de 's spite radical changes made by V, the Legislature of 1908, what we )r have come to call fondly "Our y' Game Laws" have appeared a weekly in the Sugar Planter. a, When others have shown lack !y of appreciation of our journalistic r efforts, how comforting to have if this tangible proof of having done e; something lasting and worth se while. 2e Other newspapers have copied w our articles and after one appear e ance have let them drop, still a- born as it were, into their com ir- ponent elements as type intto the ig case again! But here was con rk tinuous, unchanging-perhaps an stereotyped-approval. ce All this was true until last of week. Then turning eagerly to Lto see our penling looking back at ro- us once again from the columns et- of the Sugar Planter-even our ras Game Laws--lo, it, they were aic gone, and so we repeat the words ills with which we began this article: I How sad, how disappointing!
