There is a Community of In.
tereSt.

The SENTINEL having expressed
the opinion that the press Of til,
Parish was "enlightened, disinteNstet
and patriotic" enough to iuculcate
spirit of amity and peace among tn,
people with view of developing tn,
wonderful resources of the parish
and furthering its material interests
the Eagle thus retorted:
Gan example of this disinterestcd.
ness is found in the following taken
from the Comet Of April 4, 1901
"The people of Thibodaux are glad
to see Lockport make progress, fol
this naturally tends to develop the
entire parish and Thus THrBorAux
is INDIRECTLY A BENEFICIARY" So,
man might say of his hog, fattcning
in the pen, II am glad you are dong
so nicely, for thus l am indirectly a
beneficiary"
Truly, the comparison is one which
Mrs. Partington might most appro.
prlately have characterized "odorous;"
1t is SO suggestive OF disagreeable
odors. The comparison is not only
not very elevated but it is rot even a
just one. There is no similarity of
relation between the objects COM
pared.
Taking the excerpt from the Comet
as given. without reference to the
context, which might change the
meaning, and viewing it by itself.
there is nothing in the thought sug
gestive of "down right Yankee bus.
iness," as the Eagle terms it.
Thbodaux and Lockport, just as
Bowie and Rsceland. are parts of the
parish of Lafourche; members of the
same community; so that, it IS inn.
possible for any of them to snake
progress" without it naturally tend.
ing to develop the entire parish, and
all the others becoming indirectly
benefciaries of such development
AS members of the same community
they are in a measure interdependent,
just as the members Of the body are;
and if it be self.interest for one OF
them to cay to the other: IL am
glad that you make progress and
improve, for it naturally tends to
develop the parish, and 1 am thereby
indirectly benefited, it is like unto the
interest of the right hand that would
address the same discourse to the
left hand, or to some other member
Of the body. The community of
interests is such that the interest of
the one is bound with that of the
other and what helps one indirectly
aids the other.
As the Comet says, the people of
Thibodaux are glad to see the people
Of Lockport, and Of Bowie, and of
llaceland, and of all parts of the
parish, make progress and prosper,
for it naturally tends to develop tho
entire parish, and all are indirectly
benefciaries, Thlbodaux included;
Just as the people of Lockport and
other towns are glad, or ought to be,
70 see Th,bodaux "make progress"
md improve, as that also naturally
ENDS to develop the entire parish,
md all are again beneficia~ies, Lock.
bort included
Thus the "interest" which the
Eagle characterizes as "dOwn right
Yankee business" Is not % much self
interest as it is mutual; and mutual
y OF interest, when the end in view
proper and laudable, as it is iu
his case, is not incompatible with
isinterestedness and patriotism.

Charter prohibits the of free tickets by the

When the bills pending n controversy arose
whether the city had authority to specify time
cards and operating regulations for railways. The
City Counselor gave his opinion that the city had
this authority only by Charter. but also under
ordinary police regulations He stated that the Mu-
nicpal Assembly could not by any special ordinance,
however carefully prepared This might be, legislate
away the duty of enacting and enforcing laws for

railways Accidents had been numerous and the

House Of Delegates could view the situation as

the character outlined in two of these bills There

pcr;ision the operation of the various lines and
for official authority to whom public appeals may
be made and who may be held responsible for the

The Municipal Assembly could not delegate to any
officer the right to make regulations but it can enact
rules and confer upon officer the duty of enforcing
them. If there officer charged with enforc-
ing regulations the public could fix responsibility at
any time This would probably cause the service to
