PUSH !!

IL there vas more push in the world
there w0uld be fewer hungry, halt
clothed, homeless, suffering children
fewer hroken-d down, dissipated men ana
women; less need OF almsnonses, houses
of correction and homes for the friend
less.
Push means lift for a neiehbor in
trouble. Pusi, means lift for yourself
out of the slougf, of despondeHcy aud
sfiftlessnrss, out Of trouble real or
tancied. Push never hurts anybody
The harder the push is the better, if it
ia given in just the right direction
Always push up hil-few people need
push down hill. Don't he afraid of your
muscles and sinews; they were given
You to use. Don't be afraid of your
hands; they were meant for service.
DON'T he afraid of what your compan-
ions may say. Don't be afraid of your
conscience it will never reproacl you
for good deed-but push with all your
heart, might and soul, whenever you
see anything or anybody that will be
better for u good, long, strong, hearty
push.
Push It is just the word for the
grand. clear morning of life. It is just
the right word for strong arms and
ynnng hearts. 1t ia just the word for
world as full of work as this ia. II any
body is in trouble, and you see it, don't
stand back. push
IT there is anything good being done
10 any rlace where You happen to be.

LAW AND ORDER.

Daring the early part Of last week
vague rumurs were circulated in our
town. TO the effect that ill-adviscd per
sons had banded together. for purposes
not consistent with law and order.
| Later on it WAS reported, that Il band
OF armed men from the conntry, wond
come to town on Monday, for the avow-
ed rurpnso Of setting al liberty the
so called ViIleplate White Caps
should the Court refuse them bail.
Naturally our people became restless,
and a feeling OF disqnietude and alarm
was prevalent. A conference of some
of on! leading citizens was held, and
The result was that the following docu-
mcnt was formulated, and signed hy
eighty-nine OF our most prominent citi-
Zens:
Whereas, owing to the fact that in
this and nelghboring parishes, there
exists Il spirit OF lawessncss, and a
disposition npon the part of certain i'll
advised persons to openly defy the
Law Of the State and its law officers in
the performance of their duties; and
whereas, under such condition of
things we deem it our duty to uphold
the law, and TO assist in its execution
and enforcement To that end we the
undersigned do hereby form ourselves
into a " Lac and Oyder association" to
+ t,., t.,,x
foHccment and execution Of the same,
and do hereby prefer them our per
sonal services to do SO, whenever re-
quired, and whenever they alay call
upon MS for ASST 'stancc.'
On Saturday night, the signers of this
document met at the Courthouse. The
meeting was called to order by Hon
6. l.. Dnpre, who proposed Jos. Bloch
for temporary President and c. w, Du-
Roy, Secretary. After consultation ii
was a greed to go into Il permanent or
ganIzation, aud officers were elected.
Ii the declaration of principles was
not sufficient to make manifest tie in
tention of the members Of the organi-
zaliun, the election of Judge Z. T.
Lewis as President, and Sheriff r. s.
FoDtenot as 1st Vice President proves
that they intend to act strictly within
the law, and under the orders of the
constituted authorities
On Sunday night, it having been re-
Iterated that some overt act might be
committed, the Sheriff, considering
THAT an ounce Of preventative was
worth pound Of cure requested "The
Law and Order Association to report
IN Monday morning; at which time
sixty welt armed members of the or
repaired 30 The Sherif's Of
ice, and placed themselves under his /
orders, aud remained until noon.
Meantime the examination@of the ac-
FUSED parties from Vile Platte had /
AIKEN place, everything had gone on .
quietly, and as the evidence justified it,
he prisoners were admitted to bail in .
he SUN of $1,000 each, which was fur i
lished, and they were released.
The organization of this association,
means beyond a doubt. that the good
people of cur town will stand by the
constituted authorities in the enforce
nent of law and order. 1t is a pledge
D our worthy aud efficient Sheriff, that
'e has the moral and physical backing
# our citizens, in the execution of his
|uties, regardless Of party or sect. This
= jnst as it should be, and will convince
White Caps" Regulators" or any un-
awful organization, that "Law and Or
ei" must and will reign supreme IN St.
landry.
