The people of Calcasieu parish
have known for some years that it is
not the custom of the North American
Land and Timber Co., to rest upon
its oars very long. For the purpose
of disposing of its lands to settlers at
a reasonable price, the company has
built immense irrigating plants, towns,
roads. warehouses, schools and even
churches, and by pursuing this poll
cy has turned strip of vacant land
extending east from Lake Charles into
one of the most productive and best

in the parish.

MODERATE DRINKING.

Some one has said that the man who
drinks and staggers is less dangerous
as an example than the man who
drinks and stands. The Century Maya
zine has an original bit of dialogue,
as follows:

young Clippercut in my house again.
His influence on my son is most dan.
gerous."
"Why, my friend, he is far from be.
ing a bad fellow. He has bis follies,

THE WARD PETITION.

So many people are interested in tn
fate of the ward petition lately circu
lated, that we think best to answel
some of the questions asked in thi
column,
The police jury have the powe1
to grant or deny a petition for {
special election and to make the term.
on which it may be granted.
The Woman 5 Christian Temperance
Union circulated a petition for thu
question of ward prohibition to bt
submitted to vote at a special elec
ton, and a committee of four gentle
men took it to Lake Charles to pre-
sent to the jury at the July meeting
This particular jury named the fol
lowing terms:
1. The petition must have the sig
nature of two.thirdS of the registered
voting list.
2. For one signature not fonud or
said list the petition would be thrown
out for fraud.
;. Six hundred dollars must be put
up for the expense of the election, the
surplus (if there be any, to be re.
turned.
The committee was not prepared to
meet these requirements and did not
formally present the petition. Also
the committee were unable to learn the
need of six hundred dollars for ex-
penses.
Before the petition was taken over,
our own juryman gave it as his opin-
ion that two hundred and fifty dollars
would be required for expenses of the
election, as the parish treasury was
already in arrears. Believing the
whole jury would probably not raise
on this more than fifty dollars the W.
C. T. U. decided with only thirty
dollars in their treasury to be re-
sponsible for three hundred dollars if
it were required. This involved per.
sonal sacrifice, but after prayer by
each one present, it was voted with a
quiet enthusiasm that meant some.
thing.
However, there is reason in all
things, and we have no hesitation in
saying that six hundred dollars is an
unreasonable requirement. The union
could not, in honesty, agree to imme.
diately raise that amount
But don't think for q moment that
ward prohibition is killed. 1t will
surely come, though it may be delayed
possibly, but not probably, till the
personnel of the present police jury is
changed.
Meanwhile will not you gentlemen
who lack a poll tax receipt please see
to it that you are qualified to vote on
our side the first chance you get.
And that voting list at the Lake is
sadly in need of revision, in as much
as it contains names of several men
who have changed their residence. 1t
is scarcely fair that they should have
to be counted in getting the necessary
two.thirds signatures.
We are told the tax records are in
equally bad shape. If enough of you
voters would make your wishes knowa
to the proper officials We have no
doubt more correct lists would be
forthcoming.
But Welsh can hold its election in
iependently of the police jury, and
we'll have something to say about this
1ext week.

Preparing for Opening
Meeting at Benning
Two Hundred Horses Have Already Arrived.
Track Drying Out and Will Be in Good
Condition by Next Week.

Three weeks from next Thursday the
bugle will call out the field for the first
race of the spring meeting of the Wash
ington Jockey Club at the Benning
track.
The races begin on March % and run
through to April 10, inclusive. giving
Washington the first three weeks OF
racing on the Eastern turf. Secretary
Sam Walton has been busily engaged
for some time IN perfecting plans for
the meeting and with the races still
three weeks off the indications are that
the affair will be one OF the most sue
cessfuI gatherings in the history of the
local club.
Weather Interfered.
The very severe winter has made
training at most of the tracks in this
section of the country impossible, and
the majority of the trainers took their
strings to Hot Springs, New Orleans,
and other tracks in warmer chimes, with
the result that more horses have been
in training during the past winter than
for several years.
The snow and sleet has kept all the
horses on the metropolitan tracks under
cover, and the men from Long Island
and other places in that section are now
arriving at Benning daily in order that
they may have plenty Of time in which
to prime their charges before the open
ing day.
Dust Will Be Flying.
All the frost is out of the track and
the veteran trainers now here, including
popular Billy Garth, are of the opin-
ion that if the present warm spell con-
tinues for few days there will be
dust flying along the home stretch by
the end of the week. For the past three
days the trainers have been sending their
charges over the course at a stiff clip
and, although they have been consid-
erably handicapped by mud caused by
