The street car strike in New Or
leans was brought to satisfactory
conclusion last Monday after last
ing fifteen days, much to the dis
comfort and inconvenience of the
people. The credit for bringing
the strike to an end, Belongs pri-
; marily to Gov. Heard. whose
firm stand, decision, and prompt
display of force in mobilizing all
the state militia in New Orleans,
thoroughly convinced the strikers
that violence would be severely
dealt with, and that further resls-
tance was useless. The governor
at the same time required reason
able concessions from the Railways
company. and thus acted in a fair
and praiscworthy manner towards
the men. His actions in the set

period, when it was question
whether the men would accept
Gov. Heard's proposition, and
the situation looked exceedingly
bad, Mr.. w. S. Parkerson, who
is the son of our esteemed fellow
citizen, Judge J. G. Parkerson, de.
lcided to use his efforts toward a
peaceable settlement. He imme-
diately got in communication with
the strike leaders, then went be-
fore a general meeting Of the
street car men, and in a candid
and mastery address won the con-
| fdence of the Union. He con-
vinced them Of the folly of furthel
resistance aud persuaded them tc
accept the equitable terms offered
by Gov. Heard. His efforts sue
ceeded completely and the strike
was ended. A number of other
prominent citizens of New Orleans
among them Mayor Capdevielle
put forth every power in solving
the difficulty, and while they de-
Iserve much from the people Of the
city, yet to Gov. Heard and Mr..

Education to the Front
in LAFAYETTE Parish
and Town.

The paramount question with
the people Of Lafayette at the pre-
sent time is the SCHOOL ques-
ton. The good seed sown in
the recent past is bearing fruit
rapidly, and the large and enthus-
iastic delegation of representative
citizens of the parish which waited
on the Police Jury at its last meet
ing to urge that body to make an
appropriation of aot less than
$8 900 for public schools furnishes
unmistakable evidence that our
peopl. now realize that the ques-
ton OF public education transcends
all other in the important relation
it bears to the future welfare of
our children and our country.
The clear cut and forcible state
ment of the issue presented by
Mr.. A. Olivier. president of the
School Board, in calling the citi-
zens' meeting to order, and the
timely remarks of Mr.. Alcide
Judice, Mr. ]. o. Broussard and
other speakers on that occasion,
met with hearty response from
the entire assemblage. And it is
very evident from the expressions
of President -Billeaud and other
members Of the Police Jury that
they are in entire s> mpathy with
this movement for better schools
, and better school houses in
Lafayette parish, and it is certain
that the Police Jury will extend all
the help in its power in this direc-
ton.
In the same connection the city
council of Lafayette has generous.
ly taken a hand in the popular
wave sweeping over our town and
parish for improved educational
facilities. by granting an appro-
priation Of 81 900 asked by the
School Board in aid of the public
schools.
Public officers and public bodies
have to show a determination tc
faithfully discharge their dutie.
and they will always receive the
support and enjoy the confidence
of the people. and this is what i.
now happening with regard to tn.
School Board. Seeing that tn,
School Board is using the schoc
funds in a legitimate and intelligen
manner and for the general advan
cement Of The people, the Polio
Jury and the City Council an,
individuals (by private subscrip
tions] are willing and eager t
rally to the support Of the Schoc
J: Board.
