The announcement of Hon. Jas.
j. Bailey sss candidate for Dis
trict Judge will be found in to-
days COURIER. Mr.. Bailey is a
native of Opelousas, where he was
born in 1872. He was admitted
to the practice of law several
years ago, and has made a very
creditable record as a member of
the Qpelousas Bar. He is son
of that eminent jurist, Judge
Adolphe Bailey, who stood in the
front rank of the legal profession
in Southwestern Louisiana, and
was elected to Congress during
the reconstruction era, but. was
counted out through the detest-
able methods of the carpet-bag
and scallawag regime. During
Judge Bailey's term on the Dis
trict Bench his decisions were
characterized by a high sense of
justice and legal attainments.
Mr.. Bailey was elected last April
as one of the representatives of
this parish in theLegislature, and
his record during the session just
closed is one that he and his con-
stituents may well feel proud of.
His vote and his>voice at all times
were on the side of the people
and in line with the reforms which
constituted the main issues of the
last campaign. Should he be cleo
ted and make as good a judge as
he has been legislator, the peo-
pie will have no cause for com
Dlaint.

Reliable Representatives.

Messrs. Dudley L. Guilbeau,
j. j. Bailey and Peyton R. Sandoz,
three of the representatives of
st. Landry in the State Eegises- J.
ture, have returned home and caA
face their constituents with clean
conscience, as their course in the
Legislature has been fully in ac-
cord with the political principles
on which they were elected. They
have done their duty honestly and
fearlessIy, and are entitled to the
thanks of their constituents. On
every measure of reform discussed
in the last campaign which came
before that body, they were al
ways found on the right side, and
never lodged the responsibility
of recording their vote on the
side of the people regardless Of
whether they were with the ma
jorlty Or the minority. Had the
other representatives in the State
Legislature been as consistent,
and carried out the measures they
were pledged to during the pri-
mary, we would now have a pri-
mary election law on our statute
Eooks that could be relied upon,
and the Governor would be re-
lieved of much responsibility in
the matter of appointments, and
a material curtailment of ex-
penses, coupled with more eff
clent service, would prevail in
Louisiana today.

:. FRAMING PICTURES Fifty AppHques Of Leather

Leather is being put TO many uses IN
these days besides being used Cor such
ordinary plebeian purposes as the max
ing Of shoes. harness. upholstery. and
such. IL now takes its place on the
shop shelves with laces. velyets. and
other trimmings OF value.
This year it is used in applique bands
In all sorts OF fanciful patterns for trim
ming the handsomest imported hats and
gowns. These bands come as narrow
as half an inch. and as wide as eight
cen inches. The wider patterns are used
for panels In skirts and blouse jackets
which viii be as popular as ever this
spring-and the narrower ones on the
collar and cuffs.
An imported gown Of navy blue
broadcloth is trimmed with an applique
OF red morocco leather with stunning
effect The design is used around the
collar. cuffs. the vest OF the Jacket. and
down the seams OF the skirt.
Very Beautiful in Leaves.
Some patterns show autumn leaves in
the glorious colors nature gives them
before they fail Off and die. A green
gown has trimming of these leaves APP
pliqued about the hOunces and put on
the Jacket in ZigZag fashion. so as TO
widen out toward the shoulders.
Leather is used on evening wraps. but
for such uses the lighter shades are
chosen. Pigskin in cream shades is par
tiCularly liked, and chamois looks really
beautiful ON such light shades as pale
blue, pink. and lavender. For these gar
ments the outline of the applique is ac-
centuated by a small gilt OF silvered
cord
