and it would not be exaggerating to say that no
member of that body has displayed more COM

bert's appointment will certainly rebound to
the welfare of the parish in the interest of
which he will, with characteristic zeal, di-
rect all his energies. Vet while all this is adj
mitted, l must contend that though the gov
qualified person, the appointment, all things
being equal, should have been made from
the parish proper and not from the corpora
ton of Lafayette. The Office is one of
parish interests in contradiction TO those of
the municipality. While there may be no
constitutional impediments debarring citizen
of an ineorpo lted town from exercising the
functions oI ne Office in question, still it
cannot be gainsaid that in the very nature of
the case, it most certainly and properly be-
longs to the people IF the parish proper. 1t
is fact that such appointments have been
made heretofore, and the wisdom of such
selections far as the merits and quaiifica-
tons of the aPPointees are concerned, and
the beneficial results derived therefrom, form
no part of the principle involved. The APP
pointee it may be argued has extensive farm
ing interests in the parish, and, therefore,
may justly fill the Office as representing the
parish. This 1 contend docs not affect the
position l maintain The Parochial and mu-
nicipal interests not always identical,
and sometimes are very conflicting, for
instance just at the present juncturc.
Now, Mr.. Editor, let no take offence
as all have said may not be worthy of any
consideration, and has been jottcd down in
kindest spirit. Mr.. Eebcrt is a warm per-
sonal friend of time, and the next time 1
meet him l shall certainly give him grip of
the ''horny hand of a workingman,' and
congratulate him upon his we'll merited APP

For the Present.
Must EXTEND HELP.
Books open to inspection
of prospective advertisers.

The Board of Trade of New Ibe-
ria have a standing offer to donate
three sites, and eight miles of
graded road bed for narrow guage
railroad to any one that will erect a
central refinery in or near that town
and the mill and appurtenances will
be exempt from taxation for 10
years. After reading this offer The
Gazette has often recalled the pro-
position, made indirectly it is true,
to the effect that if the people of
the town of Lafayette would donate
a site and take few thousand dol
lars of stock, refinery would be
erected in the neighborhood.
The people know (only, we are
panied to say, seem irdifferent) that
if they want industries they must
not only take ga move on them
Selves" but must go down in their
pockets and pull out few dollars,
whereby to extend such induce
ments that will make possible these
industries.
1t is a mighty poor policy to rest
on our oars until some one halls us.
Capital nowadays is not running
around the country, knocking at
every towns door, SO to speak, to
find out if there are opportunities
existing for the investment of mon
ey. Capital must be courted, and
approached in the manner of the
country Arkansan, who had city
chap for a rival, and saw the abso-
lutte necessity of doing some '.tall
courting." He married the girl.
AS we said, the people are fully
cognizant of the situation, and of
the means that should be employed
to "get the GIRL" but somehow or
another, take no step. Carencro,
from all indications, propose to
emulate the Arkansas chap. Breaux
Bridge has done SO, and the arm is
around the 'fair FORM" Now un-
less Lafayette wakes up to her OPP

will be in a position to exclaim

TIE CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL,

The Lafayette public school I'M
der the management of Prof. R. G.
Greig, principal, and Miss Maggie
Jameson, assistant, has been in op-
Grafton just two months, yet it is
now taxed to its utmost capacity by
the number of pupils IN attendance.
The register this month shows an
enrolment of SIS boys and IS girls,
making total of 80 pupils enrolled.
While this does not represent the
maximum enrolment attained by
the school, it is sufficient to tax not
only the capacity of a single room,
as 80 feet, but the united energies
of the two Jealous and Painstaki ing
teachers. The average attendance
this fall has been much higher, and
exhibits marked improvement over
the records of past terms. This may
be taken as indicating an increased
interest on the parts of parents and
pu. mis-, as well as evidencing the sti-

voters at least as fast as any official
in the country. One day, recently,
he naturalized twenty aliens in sew
en- minutes, and did not act, SO the
report AYERS, as if he thought he
was doing something extraordinary.
The applicants were asked hardly a
question, and were sworn together
in punches.
1t is men like this New York
judge that are turning the citizen
making process in farce. What
respect for our suffrage laws can
the average foreigner have who is
thus mechanically converted into a
voter ? What sort of impression
does such haste make upon the
young American who has been
taught to regard citizenship as a
high privilege ? Does any one think
we can continue to pollute the
stream of suffrage without suffering?
1t may bring on serious results in
the future. 1t came near so two
years ago in New Orleans, when the
dagoes were voted, en- raasse, for
one faction.
1t may be safely presumed that
not few officials elsewhere have
been doing the same thing, but, per-
haps, not on such a large scale, and
it is high time for some check to be
set. The more that citizenship is
cheapened, the more difficult it be-
comes to preserve the ballot-box
from corruption and to secure the
election of capable and honest men.
If not stopped it will eventually lead
to anarchy or imperialism.

UP GRADE.

The people of Breaux Bridge are
justly jubilant. and look with bright
anticipation on the roseate future
that appears clear to their vision.
And it is not dream, either. The
substance is there. 1t came in the
person of Mr.. Knapp, an enterpris-
ing man controlling vast capital.
He looked over the country and
saw promise of ample returns for
whatever investment he should de-
a magnificently equipped refinery
situated some miles above Breaux
Bridge, and now sees that one mill
cannot begin to manufacture the
raw material that will offer in the
next two years. Therefore another
is needed. But where shall it be 81
tuated Near the edge of the town
of Breaux Bridge would be a good
location. This statement was i'm
parted to the people of that town.
Promptly they donated the site,
some twelve acres, and the result
will soon be seen in the erection of
a refinery of large capacity. This
of itself will be worth thousands of
dollars to the people of the town
and neighborhood. But this is not
all. There must be quick transport
tation facilities for the product of
the mill to reach the open market.
That, also, will be forthcoming
Presently Mr.. Knapp is having con-
structed a narrow guage railroad
from Carencro to the Huron planta-
ton, and will extend the road to
Breaux Bridge.
There are other industries in view
but this enough to give that section
an impetus on the road to prosper
ity as she has, perhaps, never
dreamed of before.
The Gazette is most happy to
note the bright lining in the silver
clouds, and congratulate the people
on the fact that the richness of their
resources are at last
recognized and will be at an early
day utilized to the profit of all.

10! THE POOR TRAMP.

The opportunity was offered Tie
Gazette to note the manner in which
those pariahs, -" tramps" - are
>u01e to work out a sentence infliCt-
ed by the authorities under the va
grant law.
They perform the laborious task of
handling spade or shovel of hoe,
digging, shoveling and leveling the
dirt on the streets.
They are given two meals a day,
one at O'Clock a. m. and one at
O'Clock p. m. Two O'Clock in
the evening to O'Clock next morn
lng-1o hours without food.
When it is taken into considera-
ton that most of these s'tourists''
are unused to hard labor that they
are in the habit-the most of them
of munChing food several times
day, one can then feel what must be
their bodily fatigues and the gnaw-
ing pangs of hunger, when Night
throws her mantle over Mother
Earth.
And for what crime are these peo-
pie condemned to labor SO hard :?
Z;'ambs ! Did they commit a
breach of the peace of such a ma
ture as to deserve such punish
ment7 Oh, yes ! they are 1,amps!
Let us admit that the majority are
bad at heart and only want an op-
Portunity to demonstrate it ? But
surely all are not bad. Some of
them must be only in hard luck.
Would it not be following the Mas
ter's teaching to allow 90 bad ones,
especially when no serious breach
of the peace has been committed, to
go, rather than one, whose only fault
may be that misfortune has over
taken him, should be made to suf-
fer7
In seeing them labor for two days
on the street in which our office is
situated, we frankly confess that
our sympathies went to them in
their apparent misery.
The Gazette presents plea for
a mitigation of their hours of labor,
three meals a day, and when the
sentence expires, they be given
IS cents for every day they have
worked upon the streets. We be-
lieve they have earned it, and feel
confident the general public will
say they deserve it.
Now, kind reader, when ready
to look upon the 'tramp" as
some soulless wretch that deserves
severe punishment for being tramp,
let your condemnation be tempered
with mercy, for
Mercy =
g Is an attribute to God himself.
And worthy power dost then show like Gods
When mercy seasons justice.
Though justice be thy plea, consider this
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation we do pray for mercy:
And the Same prayer doth teach us all to
render
The deeds of mercy"

A Bad Habit.

Children should be warned against
The indiscriminate fashion they have of
putting everything in their mouths
while out OF doors Biting at the gloves
is very common trick, and even money
is often held between their teeth while
making change. People do not realize
that their children are constantly
carrying things to their mouths unless
they begin to notice them particularly
in regard to it, and they will then be
astonished to see what prevailing
habit it is. Give young child an UNI
brella, stick. a pencil to hold, and the
chances are il will be in the mouth
within FIVE minutes; and when one con-
siders how many dangerous diseases
can be. and are, introduced into the
system solely through the mouth, it is
easy to understand why one cannot be
too careful. Even Rubbing the face
with the fingers in any way should al
ways be stopped. Many people have
the habit of putting the hands to the
face for no reason whatever, and they
might easily carry germs to the mouth
unconsciously. Frequent ablution Is
also great preventative of contagious
diseases, and it would doubtless be a
good plan If nurses saw to it that the
faces and hands of their little charges
were thoroughly washed whenever
they return from an outing.-N. Y.

These are Facts
whteh
Houseksspery Should Seriously Conader:

lfyou want the best food, you will be interested
In the following facts, which show ~hy Royal"
is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal-its sale greater in this
country than the sale of all other cream of tartar
baking powders combined.
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t is absolutely pure and wholesome.
1t is combined from the most approved
and hea1thful ingredients.
1t makes the finest favored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
1t has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
1t never loses its strength, but will keep
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, 80 that none
Of its strength Is lost before the baking is
completed.
1t makes food that win keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder Is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and COM
ductor of it's business ever since is still at
the head of its management. Thus all the
