A Rare Treat.

On Monday, the 29th of this
month, the citizens Of Opelousas
and vicinity will have the oppor-
tunity of hearing one of the most
popular lecturers in the United
States, when Hon. Henry Waiter
son will deliver his famous lee
ture, "Money and Morals,'' at
Sandoz Opera House. The Chat
tanooga Times says:
Henry Watterson is wholly un-
like any other speaker. There are
times when you feel that he is
merely talking to you, personally,
and in IL simple, conversational
tone; and then, before you know
it, you are whirled along by the
irresistible force of his eloquence
and the originality of his thought,
while at times his diction is ex-
quisite.
And the Milwaukee Sentinel
says:
There never was Il lecture with
more in it, and more charmingly
delivered, than Henry Watterson' S
"Money and Morals. ;"
Secure your seats early, as it is
anticipated that there will be a
crowded house on the 29th.

The man who stays away from
the polls because he thinks there
is too much rottenness in politics
for him to mix up in it, ought to
show his consistency by getting
out of the church because one of
the members got drunk, or be-
cause another one swore, or an
other one was caught playing
poker, or another kissed his
neighbor's wife. Such course
is calculated to make rotten poli-
tics, and tho man who persists in
such course needs reforming.
He is deficient in good citizenship
because he fails to perform one
of the chief functions of good
citizenship, and that is to vote

The Seventh District Primary

The Democratic Executive Com
m1ttee of the Seventh Congressional
District of Louisiana met at Grow
ley last Tuesday to canvass the re-
turns of the primary election held
on the 18th. On the face of the re-
turns the vote in the District for
each candidate stood as follows:
Pujo, 1858; Blackman, 1869; Gar
land, 1910; Polk, sol. Shortly after
the committee met Mr.. Garland
filed his contest, alleging fraud in
both Calcasieu and Grant. Messrs.
Pujo and Blaekman filed answers
through counsel, both denying the
itemized charges of the contestant.
A motion by Mr.. Pugh to grant
Mr.. Garland three days to substan
tiate his charges of fraud was voted
down, after a heated discussion, OH
the grounds that the rules of the
primary required charges and evi-
dence to be submitted at the time
of the meeting Of the Executive
Committee to canvass the returns.
The evidence was then taken up
and 167 votes were thrown out from
Calcasieu, which, however, did not
affect the result so far as Pujo's
lead is concerned. The evidence
regarding Grant parish was then
taken up, and 116 votes in the Pol
luck box were thrown out, also 60
at the Nugent precinct, which still
left Blackman and Pujo in the ma
jority and Garland not i'll it. Quite
stormy debate ensued, but the
committee finally decided, by vote
of 6 to 2. Dubuisson and Pugh dis
senting, that the second primary,
which comes off next Wednesday,
the Oath, should be between Pujo
and Blackman.
The resolutions of the District
Committee adopted at Opelousas
on the 18th of August provide that
the election next Wednesday ''shall
be conducted by the same officers,
in the same manner, and under the
same rules as the first primary
and the committee shall meet and
compile the returns Of this second
primary at Alexandria, La, on
Monday, Sept. 29th, at / o'clock
p. m.
Now for the tug of war between
Blackman and Pujo-both good
men; and 1t is to be hoped that st.
Landry will emerge from this sec.
ond contest unsmirched by any stls-
picion of fraud or irregulalIty. In
the good old Democratic law of
'tmaiority rulen soreheads and kick:
ers should not expect to rule the
party when they are iii the minor
ity. A good Democrat should
sstalle his medi0ine like . little
man, aud if the party needs re-
forming or there are any abuses to
correct, IL cannot be done by flying
the track; stick to the party and
correct its faults in the party-the
party can't be reformed outside the
party
Go to the polls next Wednesday
and vote for the candidate of your
choice if you are a Democrat; ifyou
are not Democrat keep out of it.
