GOOD ROADS.

FL N
Elsewhere. in this issue will be
found a communication from
Messrs. A. JUDGE & Son, prom
linent merchants of Scott, under
the caption, Suggestions for
Good Roads" The suggestions
should receive careful attention
and while many may not agree
with all the details, we are sure
that the main idea conveyed will
receive full Endorsement. Lafa-
yette needs good roads, every
part of the parish should have
good highways, and can have
them if all the people make it
their business to see that the
roads have attention.
This subject of good roads is
very important and we invite
our readers who have sugges.
tiOns or recommendations to
make, to use our columns for
that purpose.

Jewish HOLIDAYS

The Jewish New Year, the first
OF. the Jewish holidays, and one
of the great religious days of the
Jewish faith, began with sunset
Friday evening. Services were
held in the synagogue by Rabbi
Kronbach, of Cincinnati, who will
also hold services during the ten
days of the holidays.
The Times Democrat gives the
following account of the origin
and meaning of the Jewish New
Year, which is known as Rosh
Hashanah;
All Jewish festivals are authO-
rized by Scripture. Rosh Hash
anah is celebrated on the first
day of the seventh month,
Tishri. In some congregations
a second day is added. The
scriptural authority for this fes-
tival is found in the following
words: I'm the seventh month,
on the first day Of the month,
shall We have rest, a memorial of
sounding the cornet, a holy con-
vocation" Lev. xiii, "a. The
biblical name of the feast is the
Day of the Trumpet. It's object
is self-examinatiOn and thorough
repentance.
The blowing of the trumpet
was q practice in ancient Israel
which was observed on joyful &C.
casi0ns, as well as at times of Sc
rious apprehension. Thus, the
trumpet was sounded at the re-
turn of every new MONDAY, in
connection with the Offering of
sacrifices on festive occasions,
and at war times, for the purpose
of directing the hearts of the
people to God, their dispenser of
Joys and blessings, and protector
in time of danger.
The character Of q New Year
celebration, by which it is espec-
tally marked in this period, Is Of
. much later date than the bibli-

TO ENTERTAIN THE STATE
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

To-day at 8 p. m. a meeting of
citizens will be held at the court
house to arrange for the enter
tainment of the State Teachers
Association which will assemble
here Dec. 27-3O. Between 300
and 400 teachers are expected,
perhaps more, and places for
their accumulation must be
secured.
This Association represents
the best thought and the best
talent in the teaching profession
OF the State. The selection of
progressive Lafayette for their
meeting place is a compliment;
which should be appreciated
highly, and we can show this
appreciation by giving them the
most hospitable welcome. For
this purpose the meeting at the
courthouse is called for to-day
at 3p. M. and all citizens are
earnestly urged to attend.

A CASE FOR THE PROGRESS.
I'VE LEAGUE.

The developments at Anse La
Butte have now reached a stage
that makes the field com
mercially valuable and deter
nine to a fair certainty that
later explorations will locate the
large reservoir of oil which the
finds so far indicate undoubtedly
underlie that section. Mean
time oil in sufficient quantities
has been obtained to warrant the
wells placing their product on
the market and arranging facil-
tiles for that purpose both for
present and future accOmOda-
ton. A move to this end is now
in contemplation by the con-
struction of a pipe line either to
Lafayette or Breaux Bridge.
No positive decision has been
made as yet, and there is still
time for Lafayette to get the
pipe line: but prompt action. is
necessary and this should be
taken at once. This is a case
where the recently organized
Progressive League comes in,
and it should lose no time in
meeting and acting. This pipe
line is a bigger thing than at
first appears and if secured will
mean much to Lafayette.
To let it go elsewhere is folly.
Our town is growing, but it can
not continue to grow without new
Industries and new capital, and
now that we have a chance to add
an already considerable indus
try, which promises large de-
pelopments, we should, by all
means, improve the opportunity.

make an excellent city hall, and
that, if the bank, which will
erect a new building soon, would
sell at a reasonable figure, the
city should acquire it. We think
the suggestion a good one; the
building is sufficiently large for
the present and for years to
come, is handsome enough to be
a credit to the town, and will
answer the purpose admirably.
The ground floor is just suited
for Offices and the large vault
would protect the city records in
case of fire. The second floor
would serve we'll for a court
room or for meetings Of the
Council.
1t would be decidedly to the
advantage of the Bank to sell it,
and we have been informed that
the Board of Directors are will
ing to be very reasonable. The
matter should be taken up by
the Council at it's next meeting
and arranged if possible.
Regarding the proposed cleo
trio railway from Baton Rouge
to New Orleans, the American
thinks it should be built, even if
it is necessary for a grateful
State government to subsidize it.
The saving in time during a
session of the legislature would
be enormous. Abolish the me-
cessity of our hOnOred legis-
lators spending one day with a
valise between their feet, with
their ears strained to catch the
tOOt of the 2:15 train and cut out
the dusty morning ride back,
and almost two whole days
would be added to the legislative
session. They would then have
time to kill laws which are now
passed for want of consideration
and polish up those that were en-
acted 50 that they would pass the
thoughtful scrutiny of the su-
preme cOurt.-Lake Charles

THE BROWNLOW BILL.

There is now pending in Con-
gress bill introduced by the Hon.
Walter 2. Brownlow of Tennessee
and the Hon. Jacob III. Gallinger,
Senator from New Hampshire, APP
propriating 1924, 100000 as national
aid for the building of wagonroads.
This sum is to be distributed to
each State according to it's popula-
ton, except that no State is to- re-
ceive less than $25O,000.
The States.oE counties receiving
thismoney mustadd like amount,
so that $48,000,000 will be expend-
ed in the building of wagon roads.
Colonel Brownlow says that we
have over 100000 miles of the fin
estrailwayin the world, more miles
of railway than all the rest of the
globe put together, yet we have the
poorest wagon roads of any civil
zed country.
He believes, as we, do, that no
one thing will do this country so
much good as the building of good
wagon roads, as provided for in
this bill. AS theseare to be built
in every State of the Union, they
will be especially valuable as an
object lesson.
Experience has shown that wher-
ever good roads exist every one
wants more of them.

TIE DIFFERENCE.

The. following article recently
appeared in the Nashville Ameri-
can, and will be of interest to our
readers:
"There are twenty-three prohi-
bltion counties in Texas that have
NO convicts in the penitentiary.
There are nine that have only one
convict each. There are seven
that. have only two each. Thirty
nine prohibition counties furnish
only twenty-tbree conyicts.
"San Jacinto County, with open
saloons and population of only
1927, has twenty-five convicts in,
the penitentiary.
Montgomery County, with open
saloons,and a population of II, 067,
has, twenty-one conyicts in the
State prison.
''Here are two poor counties in
the piney woods that have nearly
three times as many convicts as
thirty-nine prohibition counties.
"Collin County has population
OF $4,000 and no saloons. 1t has
twenty convicts in thepenitentiary.
Lamar County has a population of
4S,OO0and saloons. 1t has ninety
six convicts in the penitentiary.
ga large part of Texas is with
out saloons. In the prohibition
territory there is one convict for
each $4,000 of the population. In
the territory in which saloons ex-
its there is one convict for every
500 Of population.
"These figures speak for them
selves. Wherever in small towns
and communities the no-saloon law
has been sufficiently tried the SEN
timent against permitting the sa-
loon to ever return is overwhelm-

"The radical change from,saloon
tono saloon always results in more
or less demand for Jug liquor or
case goods, but the community be-
comes gradually accustomed to the
changed conditions, the old topers
finally die off, the number of ha-
bitual drinkers grows steadily less
and there is no crop of social drink
ers bred to take their places.
"Tragedies sometimes result
from the jug system, but it breeds
very few habitual drunkards. The
saloon encourages social drinking
and the custom of treating" and
these habits breed intemperance,
which multiply tragedies in which
