1t Was Not Irregularity.

st. Martinville, La. June Is, 1906.
Editor Weekly Messenger:
In the last issue of your paper,
dated June Is, / note the follow
ing:
"Due to the irregularity of the
first petition that was made to or
der a special election to vote tax
of five mills for ten years in favor
of the Owen road, new petition
had to be made which is now be-
ing circulated for the signature of
the property owners.
1.-The first petition had flaw
which rendered it null, aud it was
necessary to have another petition
signed"
In view of the fact that this Pc
tition was drafted by me, l request
that You correct the above state
ment in your next issue. There
was neither irregularity nor flaw
in the first petition, as stated in
the Messenger.
In order fully to protect the tax
payers, ! found it necessary and
proper to embody in the Ordi-
nances calling the election certain
clauses, which clauses were objec-
ted to by Mr.. Owens attorneys.
After much correspondence, Mr..
Ovens attorneys and myself be-
ing unable to agree. it was sugges-
ted by these gentlemen that the
clauses which / was of the opinion
should be embodied in the Ordi-
hances calling the election, be al
so embodied in the petition. Up
on these conditions Mr.. Owens at
torneys agreed TO accept the Ordi-
nances as originally drafted.
Very Respectfully,
JUSTIN G. DAsPIT.

An Unwise Measure.
Daily States.

Daily States.
Representative Sherman, of New
York, has introduced a bill in
Congress providing that the pas
senger rate on all railroads doing
an interstate business shall be 2
cents a mile. This bill looks very
much like an attempt at railroad
batting, and it is so unwise and so
unjust that there is no probabili-
ty of its passage even If Congress
had ample time to consider it,
which is not the case. While the
American people want the rail-
roaGs regulated and compelled to
keep the law they are not in SYM
pathy with efforts to put the laws
OF Congress above the laws of ma
ture, nor will they lend their ap-
prevail to measures that will have
the effect of crippling a great
many of the railway lines.
In thickly settled communities
where traffic is heavy, a 2 cent fare
Is reasonable, but to compel rail-
roads in sparsely populated re-
gions to operate on such small
rate would be absolutely unfair
and work gross injustice to the
railroad corporations. The appli-
cation of uniform passenger rate
to all parts of the country would
be reasonable if the conditions of
business were tho same every
where, but in this great country of
ours they are fundamentally diff
ferent. In the Eastern States, for
instance, the population is so dense
that when the rear end of pas
senger train is passing oU. of the
limits of one town the locomotive
at the forward end is within sight
of another, therefore the traffic
handled by the roads is enormous.
But this is not the case with a
great many of our Western rail-
way lines that traverse vast STREET
ches of desolate territory which
yields no ira fiic.

Too Much Love For Euchre.
Editor Messenger:

Editor Messenger:
In your last issue you reprodu-
ced an article from the Opelousas
Clarion which treated upon the
evening euchres by ladies, which
meets exactly my views upon this
subject of card playing which is
growing in popularity among the
ladies, aud causing some of them
to overlook and to some extent
neglect their household duties for
the love of that enerving game of
euchre.
The habit started with one club
every month, this was too far apart
and other clubs were organized,
then the evening euchres and these
were followed in some cases by
forenoon euchres.
These games of cards are excit-
ing and irritating and should be
discontinued. There would be no
objection toclub euchres for prizes
once in while, but the habit of
every day euchres is reprehonsi-
bic, and if the ladies' would look
around them they would soon dis
cover that some home duties are
neglected while they are spending
their time shutting the cards at a
euchre game.
The home is a place that should
be made cheerful and happy, a
place that should be the paradise
of the children and the happiness
of the husband, and the guardian
of this home should always meet
them with lovely smile; but how
can she do that after having spent
several hours at such exciting and
irritating game as euchre, and es-
pecially if losing, no she can ne
ner be cheering and smiling.
