AMENDED CHARTER.

Bills have been introduced in the
Senate and. House by Senator John Nc.
Ilhenny, providing for the incorpora-
tion of New Iberia. The new bills
greatly expand and increase the pow
ers of the city, giving City Council
special privileges and powers in regard
to the paving of streets on terms ad-
vantageous to the property holder, also
changing the duration of terms of po-
lice officers from two years to three
years, and Mayors term to four years,
with an increase of salary from 5000
per year to $500 per annum This
bill if enacted into law will be of
great advantage to New iberia as it will
establish its status as a city. With
concrete side walks and paved streets
the expense of which to be divided be-
tween the property owner and the
municipality, our sanitary condition,
will greatly improve enhancing values
and while some may at first regard the
expense with disfavor, still once ac-
complished no good citizen would wish
to return to old conditions but will
regard with pride and approval the
innovation, this has been the expert
ence of all our sister towns who have
tried it, and we will be no exception.
In regard to the frightening of the
terms of councilmen and of the Mayor,
we consider this move in the right
direction. The term of two years is
too short to accomplish anything and
often needed reforms and public bust
ness is defeated by the short term
given, which often places in power
other officials opposed to the measures
of their predecessors and thentheexcite-
ment and turmoil of municipal CAM
paign every two years is detrimental
to business interests. In regard to
the increased salary of the Mayor, we
find it is universally condemned.
While we do not favor the high salary
il should be commensurate with the
given. The large salary will
have the effect of bringing ont many
which may result in many
first-class men coming to the front.
We await with interest the operation
Of the new bill.

PLAOUEMINE LOCKS.

Last Thursday evening a special
meeting of the Progressive League was
held when the following resolutions
were adopted which we commend to
our readers. This entire section is
very vitality interested in the opening
of these locks and the people are get
ting wearied of the delay in the com
pletion of this very important work:
BE 1t resolved, That the New
Iberia Progressive League indorses the
resolutions adopted by the Franklin
Progressive Union April IA, 1904, rela-
tive to the Plaquemine Locks. Be il
further
Resolved, That we suggest to the
Franklin Progressive Union the ad-
visibility of calling convention OF
delegates and representatives of all
the leagues and unions, police juries,
city councils, business men and ship
pers of the towns and parishes of the
Attakapas, for the purpose of devising
as to the best means to be employed
in achieving the earliest possible open
ing Of Plaquemines Bayou to the neces-
sites of the commerce of this section
of the State Be it further
Resolved, That as New iberia is cen
trally and conveniently located for
such meeting of delegates from the
various towns and country districts,
easy of access to great majority of
such delegates by rail or private con-
veyance that we extend an invitation
to hold the convention in this city. -
A general awakening of the people
to the benefits that will accrue from
the opening of the locks is becoming
manifest throughout this section, es-
pecially by the commercial bodies.

II Judges at 81, $50 each II Judges

each Judges at $1,000 each, Judges

mum to the State for all of these
Judges and an expense OF $500 per an-
mum to each parish.
If this change should be made by
all amendment TO the State Constltu-
ton litigants would be enabled to
have their cases tried without uneces-
sarv delays as il now the case under
the present system and each Judge and
Parish Attorney would get just com
pensation for his services.
As there must be an appellate Court
for the Country Parishes other than
the Supreme Court. and the present
system by which the District Judges
are made to act as Circuit Judges is
not at all satisfactory, l would respect
system which prevailed prior to the
Constitution of 1898 or something
along that line be re-established in
lieu of the present system.
Under the present system or under
the system herein proposed to have a
Judge and Parish Attorney for each
parish, the Attorney chosen to repre-
sent the State sften has very serious
cases to prosecute and it is not possible
for the Attorney General of the State
to aid and assist this Attorney at the
tril of said case, he is therefore com
PEELED to prosecute the accused single
handed and alone.
This prosecuting Attorney is not
provided with means to employ some
one to assist him, and often the con
dillons which surround the case are
such as to practically make it impos-
sible for this resident Attorney to do
his whole duty in representing the
State.
| believe that much good could be
complished in the suppression of crime
and the conviction of the guilty if the
State would provide for the election
of three qualified Attorneys to be
known as District Prosecuting Attor-
news whose duties it would be TO assist
| those Parish Attorneys in the prosecu-
ton of criminals or in the filing of
informations and bringing to trial
those who violated the State Laws.
make these suggestions in hope that
our present Judiciary system may by
proper legislation be made more per-
feet and efficient.

| You must wake and call me early
Call me early mother dear,
For tor morrow will be the happiest time
OF all the glad New Year,
For I am to be Queen Of the May,
Mother am to be Queen of the May.
That was the merry refrain of
little Miss Lille Mellicon on We'd
nesday last, when the Unsectarian
Aid Society gave their Annual May
party, and this bright little maiden
was chosen Queen, Miss Eula Tay-
lor the first Maid, Miss Roberta

Veazey and Nina Burke, while the
cunning little pages were Eugene
Rebbeck and Alexis VOORHEES,. For
the last three or four years the
Sisters Of Mount Carmel Convent
have offered their beautiful grounds
for these entertainments, and the
sweet peace and graciousness that
seems to pervade the place, makes
its hospitality very suitable and
welcome to this noble society whose
only object is good will and good
works. Tho beautiful white throne
was erected between to wide spread
ing oaks, whose leafy branches
formed canopy through which
the sunshine fell like shower of
good upon the happy groups below.
The ample grounds were filled with
merry children and those who love
them best, before the hour when
the cornation should take place.
Promptly at the hour, .silken cords
were drawn forming an avenue
through which the Royal party
should pass, the Convent Orchestra
struck up spirited march. The
dainty flower darlings led the way
followed by the four maids of
honor in beautiful toilets proceed
ing the Royal pair, who marched
with stately steps while the lovely
little pages carried their gorgeous
trains. At the ( DOT Of the dias the
King and Queen paused while
retinue formed on either side
through which they passed up the
step ascending the throne. The
Queens crown was carried by the
first maid (Eula T aylor) who, with
a few appropriate lines presented it
to the King, who, with wonderous
grace and dignity that many a for
eign Prince might envey, crowned

the frequently expressed opinion
that afternoon, that royalty was
not so bad after all, il it could be
done up in such interesting
little personages as those who
formed that charming picture, the

JAMES SIMON POR JUDGE.

We direct the attention of our read
ers to the card of Hon. James Simon
of St. Martinsville, appearing at top
of column in which he announces his
candidacy for the Judgeship of the
10Th Judicial District Court MIR.
Simon is eminently qualified for the
important position, his experience at
the bar covering many years. his en-
inent services as District Attorney in
which the duties Of that difficult posi-.
ton were fearlessly and brilliantly
discharged, without the least faint of
impartiality, in which he knew neith
err friend nor kin, but vigorously pros
ecuted to the full extent of the law.
Mr. Simon brings to this position a
vigorous, stalwart young manhood of
fine physique, undoubted courage and
sagacity and mind of undeubted ju
dioial tendency, made perfect by long
practice and study, to all those quail
ties may be added that of sturdy 10y
atty to his beloved State and an integ
rity, that is, like Ceaser's wife above
suspicion.
In the distribution of the District
offices heretofore. Iberia Parish has had
more than the lions share, yet st. Mar
tin has cheerfully given her support al
though her own sons have been set
aside. The political situation to-day
shows Iberia in possession of both OF
the State Senators, she has both candi-
dates for the Office of District Attorney,
ohe of which will be elected. Then
common justice should dictate that
St. Martin should receive the Judge
ship, and in Mr.. Simon we find an
ideal candidate, and we trust that at
the primary, which should be held
without any unnecessary delay, he may
receive the nomination We most un
hesitatingly and unqualifiedly give
him our support.

Contributed.
We commend our City Council for
their contribution regarding good
banquettes, but would it not be a de
sirable plan first. to keep the cattle
and horses off the street? There are
certain stock that for some cause on
other regularly run at large n ew
banquetts are broken within a few DAYS
after construction. With the expen
sive cement walks, this unnecessary
and wantou destruction would be a
great hardship upon most property
holders. Cannot the officers whose duty
it is to arrest stray cattle, be stimu
lated TO greater activity?

Policing Our Dependencies.

The other day the papers conspic-
uously related how some eighty mem
bers Of the Philippine constabulary
had deserted, taking with them their
arms and some public funds. Less
attention was paid to the subsequent
news that practically all Of the Offend
ers had been apprehended and that
one of the leaders had already been
tried, convicted and sentenced to
death. The incident, instead Of show
ing that the police force of the Philip
pines was generally unreliable, demon
strated, on the contrary, its efficiency.
Here were deserters who had the adj
vantage of military training and were
presumably shrewders than the aver
age Filipino, yet within few days
they were rounded up and imprisoned.
They were apprehended by the mem
bers of the force from which they had
deserted.
The insular police of Porto Rico
seems to be a very efficient body, too.

Iowa Farmer S Clear View.

One of our Minnesota congressman
has taken a stand in opposition to rec
iprocity with Canada on the theory
that as he represents an agricultural
district, and the farmers must natural
ly' be against the free exchange of ag-
ricultural products with Canada, his
course is plain. This theory is based
on the assumption that the farmer is
creature of prejudice and misinforma-
ton and is not open to facts or con-
vincing, argument. There are some
signs that the congressman has not
Judged his people correctly, and the
resolutions adopted by the republicans
Of Winnebago county, Iowa, indicate
that the Iowa farmers comprehend the
situation. After indorsing Governor
Cummins in general terms this con-
vention of a rural county said in de-
tail:
We indorse his attitude on the tariff an6
on reciprocity, particularly with Canada
believing as we do that the best interests
of the people Of the northwest, on botf
sides Of the line, are best served by
nearer approach to the same trade con
ditions which have brought prosperity tt
the several states.
There is breadth of view for you
These farmers are capable Of taking
the big and broad view of the subject
They do not stumble over some par.
ticular incident, such as the price Of
oats in Ontario, and lose sight of the
towering mountain of principle. They
know that freedom of trade heretofore
on about the only part Of this con
tinent that had any trade worth hav
ing has been good for all; and nov
that there is a commerce worth hav
ing that happens not to be under tn
flag. they still contend that what ha
been good when extended In the pas
will be good if extended now
