announced another of it's popular
guessing contests, taking the tenn
perature at Louisville during tie
month of August as the basis. One
thousand dollars in cash will be

a year. Each guess must be accom-
panied by one yearly subscription.
No newspaper published in the
United States has been SO liberal to
its subscribers, or has offered such
liberal prizes to secure new subscribe
ers, as the Courier Journal. During
the past eighteen months it has given
away in presents, absolutely free,
ST., 400 in money, not to mention
such premieum articles as sewing
machines, watches, guns, etc. This
in spite of the business depression,
that is felt as much or more in news
paper Offices than in any other bust
ness. The Weekly Courier-Journal

No matter what his motive may
have been, it was a graceful act in
Senator Hill to move that President
Cleveland's salary be exempted
from the operations of the income
tax. Nevertheless the exemption
is unwise. If the salaries of con-
gressmen and other federal officials
are taxed, that of the President
should be taxed also. It will be
graceful in the President to decline
the exemption. He can easily have
it stricken out in the House.-The

DIR. KNAPP CH4RGED WITH
EMBEZZLEME

Last week Sheriff Rees of St.
Martin visited Lake Charles with a
warrant for the arrest of Prof. S. A.
Knapp, who is charged with embez-
element. The complaint alleges
that John Domec, Darmas D.
Guidry and H. l.. Durio have been
defrauded of a quantity of sugar
cane Prof. Knapp being in Ten
nessee was telegraphed for and has
returned home.
Whether Prof. Knapp is guilty
or not it is for the court to say
If he is innocent, thorough inves-
igation of his alleged dishonest
transactions will prove his inno-
cence. Before the holding of the
last term of our criminal court The
Gazette expressed the hope that the
proper authorities would take the
matter up and sift it.
The many victims in this parish
of what Mr.. Knapp terms the t'tem-
Rorary embarrassment of the Teche
Railroad and Sugar Company"
will watch with keen interest the re-
suit of the accusation. If he is not
proved guilty. they will be glad to
see. him honorably acquitted, but
on the other hand, if he is proved
guilty of the alleged crookedness
they desire chat justice be meted out
to him. Not wishing to mfsrepre-
sent or to do him an injustice in
any way we publish his
explanation in regard to the charges
mentioned above:

The Sunday Law in the Parish
of Lafayette.
CARENCRo, La, June 20. 1894.
Dear Little Miss HateAe<.
The second next big bull of the
parish of Lafayette, the 9th ward,
says that you did not consult the
people and citizens of this ever
wishing free section about the OBJ
nox,ous and internal Sunday-Law,
but ventured a protest against its
repeal after having consulted only a
few scattered neighbors of yours.
Said big bull has almost four hundred
voters and out of this respectable
number about a dozen would vote
for the Sunday law; yet, they as we'll
as those of your section would
crack toddy on Sunday, as we'll as
any other day of the week and wade
smoothly the threshold of the bar
room.
We want a civil government and
civil laws, but none of that having
the shadow of some book written in
the long past and not eeactly known
by whom. The first settlers of this
great country have left their homes,
on the other side of the Atlantic to
get away from church thralldom ;
those of 1916 fought for liberty and
in framing the Constitution by
which we are governed to day, have
separated state and church-no con-
cordat-Why then, as daughter of
the soldiers of 1916, do you approve
of a law that is religious? The
Sunday law teaches men and boys
to violate the laws of the State,
makes them hyPocrites and pharises.
Necessities egcntum mendacem
fecit
1t is we'll known that all European
countries have associated their civil
government to church authority for
centuries past and that despite
clerical influence, never such law
as the Sunday law, became notarial
law. 1 say European countries,
meaning that Protestants as we'll as
Catho Ole or Greeks have state and
church associated. They are
tolerant enough to admit liberty of
conscience and of creed which
some of OH, -sectarians here refuse
to recognize. The Roman and
Greek church, mother of all modern
divisions of religion are not opposed
to the Sunday business. Then the
ologians do not consider this Biblical
command, of resting one day,
supreme. Be generous; observe
your Sunday as you judge best and
grant us the same privilege. How
would you like to be compelled, by
law, to go to church with a sun bon
net, drink tepid water, not allowed
to converse more than five minutes
stseance" with your beau or have
picnics prohibited
Mala est medicina ubi aliquid
naturae pert.
Hon. Julian Mouton was RICH,
when he presented the bill for the
repeal of the obnoxious and internal
Sunday law. Mr.. Mouton is plucky
and is genius and should be kept,
as our representative, for twenty
years. do not mean to say that
he is faultlcss, but he is just the
man we want and in the right place.
Now, dear little Miss Hatchet,
I'll bet that if the Legislature were
to permit the good people of the
parish of Lafayette, 10 vote for OF
against the Sunday law, that twenty
to one would go against.
AS lady you might wish to have
the last word, if SO, speak and I'll
sleep. ZAMBo.
