Hear, Oh, Hear, We People !

Last week, in commenting up.
on the unfortunate special report
or the grand jury on the violation
OF the Sunday law, we took oc-
caslon to say that this action of
the representatives of the whole
body of the people, whereby the
Hagrant and undisputed violation
OF one of the laws on our statute
books was formally condoned.
was distressing sign of the times
distressing because such action
would breed in the minds of the
mass of the people contempt for
all law, and doubly distressing be-
cause it pointed unmistakably to
the omlnous fact that the dread
full virus of the generalization
prevalent in certain official circles
in st. Landry had attacked the
body of the people and was PEN
etrating to its very vitals. We
closed by reminding the people
that they were the arbiters of
their own destiny and that they
were directly responsible for any
mlsgovernment of which they
might be the victims. AS pcrti-
nent to this subject, we copy from
the charge of Judge Kilborne to the
grand jury of East Feliciana the
following extracts, to which we
invite the thoughtful considera-
tion of every intelligent citizen:
"The prosperity of community and the
well being of its inhabitants depend upon an
impartial and uniform enforcement of the law.
NO people have ever prospered where law was
or government not only the law making power
but the responsibility for the execution of the
law abide in the people. Without the co-OperG-
ton OF the citizens and tUihout an enEighte,ted
puottc spirit uphotdtng the ia,o the officers of
the courts are practically powerless.
In our government the people constitute an
important part OF the machinery of justice.
without grand and petty jurors, who are equal
TO the responsibility Of faithful and fearless
performance OF their duties, judges, district at
torneys and other officers of the courts can do
very little in bringing about proper admins
traii0n of public justice.
upon you, gentlemen of the grand jury,
rests large measure of responsibility.
You are properly termed the grand inquest
for the body OF tie parish. Coming from overy
section OF the parish you are rightly deemed
the representatives of the whole people of the
parish. The degree of zeal and good Judgment
manifested by you in the performance of your
duty grand jurors aciA be held to reflect thed
position totoa'd tasc and order Of the people of
y01tr parish"

Laying Corner Stone.

The laying of the corner stone
and dedication of the new Masonic
building of this place was held
Wednesday. Most of the officers
of the Grand Lodge of the State
were here for the occasion, and
it was truly a red-letter day in the
history of local Free Masonry.
The new building, which has
just been completed, is a neat
two story frame structure. It is
most admirably suited to the pur-
pose for which it is intended and
is & splendid testimonial of the pro-
gressiveness Of the local Masons.
At 8 o'clock a. m, the Grand
Lodge assembled at Sandoz Opera
House with the following officers:
Robert II. Cage, grand master;
Robert r. Reid, deputy grand
master; +, ". Delahoussaye,
grand senior warden; A. Steeg,
as grand junior warden; George
Pulford, as grand treasurer; Rich
ard Lambert, grand secretary:
Rev. Kramer, grand chaplain; F.
&. March, grand senior deacon;
ID. 5. Edwards, as grand junior
deacon; Jno. S. Alfred, as grand
marshal; |. E. jackson, us grand
steward; Max Klaus, as grand
steward; Solomon Jacobs, as grand
tyler; Claudius Mayo, bearer of
the great lights; |. E. Allen, ar
chitect.
After the opening of the lodge
a procession was formed and they
marched to the new building.
Upon their arrival there the lay
ing of the corner stone took place
with appropriate ceremonies, af-
ter which Judge Reid delivered
splendid oration. Numerous ar
ticles, such as newspapers, coins,
ETC., were placed in the stone by
those present. At the conclusion
OF the exercises adjournment was
taken until 1880. At that hour
the Lodge was reconvened at the
Opera House and again marched
to the new building. The build
ing was then impressiveIy dedi-
Gated to Masonry, after which
Rev. Kramer, the orator of the
evening, delivered Il beautiful
address, and the Lodge was
closed. The brethren then re-
pared to Lacombe's Hotel, where
Il splendid collation. was served
which, from all reports, was fully
up to the excellent standard usu-
ally maintained by that we'll
known hostelry, toasts were of
fered and a most enjoyable time
had by all.
Humble Cottage Lodge No. 10
was organized in 1920, and since
that time it's history has been in
separately interviewer with that of
our community. On its member
ship rolls have been inscribed the
names of some of the best and
foremost men of our parish and
State. It's influence for the up
lifting of our citizenship, for
peace and good will among our
people and the general well-being
of our community can not be too
greatly estimated. The lodge is
today in a fourishing condition,
having about sixty members in
good standing.
Besides the officers of the Grand
Lodge, the following prominent
visiting Masons were present:
Capt. VIM. Crawford, Max Klaus,
A. w. BIttle, Leon Wolff, Jonas
Bailey, Jake Plonsky, Washing
ton; Attorney Mitchell, Gid.
Gray, Lake Charles; DR.. Joseph,
Melville; Mansell Richard, I. c.
