1t wont cost anything to ask the
dealer to show you the BUCSKIN
BREECHES. Look them over
look at the double seams, and how
the buttons are fastened. If they
are all right SO far pick your size
and try them on. You can find a
fit. After all of this don't you
think they'd be pretty good pants
to work III? You'll find out about
the wear part when you've worn
them for months.

10 the Lafayette Gazette:
In your last issue Prof. r. G. Greig the
late More Anon, published a well written
article in defense of the high license in
which he charges us of being ssintrenched
behind a bulwark constructed of Democratic
principle and the inalienable rights of every
American citizen to demand equal rights to
all and special privileges to none.'' Does
the professor question the strength of our
s'intrenchment''? IF he does let him repeat
the assault; for twice were we attacked be-
fore making any reply. Why? Because. we
have Puritanlc blood mixed with our
''iron Acadian blood'' and consequently did
not feel like preaching. AS to our
''peeiigrees. political and otherwise we are
not like great many who claim to be of
Acadian blood and have only their words to
s.back Them We have ours. Can Prof
Greig show us his7 Will he condescend to
inform us if we have a right to demonstrate
to any of our erring brothers. IF we have
We are right. The writer fails to see what
the question at issue has to do with .sDemo-
cratic principles" Let those that have eyes
open them and see. The question ssDo not
gentlemen know the law relative to instruc-
ton in our schools on the subject Of alcoholic
beverages7 Yes do. ssMas lie fruit

our aim is to compel the 'sdens of iu,q uities''
to close not by making it prohibtory, but by
demonstrating to the young men. And such
also is the obi feet of the Catholic knights of
America, the so-called Temperance
Society,"

SHOULD VIZ HA TE HIGH
LICENSE ?

Now that it is clearly evident that
the liquor license for the parish will
be $500 the question is, is it wise
for the Council to retain the license
for the town at s1,ooo7 The Ga
zette still believes that a high Ii
cense would have done a great deal
of good, but it is of the opinion
that 5000 license for the parish
and one of 81, 900 for the town will
not accomplish the object desired.
"A high license in the parish would
have done away with large num-
Der of grogshops in isolated local.
ties and corresponding amount of
good would have resulted. The
purpose of the law is to close
those places which are a constant
source of trouble and expense to
the parish and not to drive out of
the liquor traffic men who are do
ing a legitimate business. A low
license in the parish and high Ii
cense in the town will have the eff
feet opposite to what was expected.
The little cross-road saloons will be-
come more numerous and men who
are doing more orderly and less
harmful business will be forced to
close.
To leave the matter as it now
stands will be discriminating against
the town without any chances of
reducing the evil which many good
people had reason 10 believe would
be largely lessened by a high Ii
cense. The troublesome little
grogshops will flourish without him
drance and the liquor dealer in the
town, whose business is always I'M
der police surveillance and not apt
to cause nearly as much trouble,
will have to meet an unjust compe-
tition or else he will be forced out
of business. This will mean plenty
and cheaper whiskey in the country
and plenty but higher priced whis-
key in town. How this condition
can benefit the town, either morally
or financially, we are unable to see.
1t is true that the town needs
every cent it is able to get, but it is
pretty sure that a license of $500 or
$25o will bring in as much or more
revenue than one fixed at $1,000.
The Council has acted in good faith
in this matter, and we believe, for
the public good, but in view
IF he
Jury, it should again consider the
question and see if an amendment to
the license ordinance is not fair,
reasonable and proper under the
circumstances.
Deceased was the father of our
townsman, John Vandergritf.
