THE CHOICE OF ALDERMEN

The Office of alderman always an important one,
will be donbly 50 in Chickasha during the next two
years Our city council at present in the main is
composed of capable progressive men. They have
done their best to promote the interests Of the city,
and considering the limited means at their disposal
with which to do things they have done well, for
which they should receive due credit as we'll as the
thanks Of the people whom they have served.
But Chickasha is entering upon new era in mu-
nicipaI affairs The new laws relating to cit affairs
which will be extended over by the Curtis bill will
make possible an Of greater progress provided
take advantage of them For example in this matter Of
street improvements, the laws give the city
oil power 10 compel property TO foot the bill
for sidewalks, paving and other street Improvements.
readily seen that this places greater opportunities
before the aldermen and confers larger responsibilities
upon them. It means that Chickasha can 60 forward
and take her place abreast Of the other up-to-date
cities Of the territory in respect to street improvements
If We have aldermen possessed Of the spirit Of prog
ress and provided with the backbone to decree it So
The choice Of men for aldermen becomes therefore
important matter for the voters to consider.
What kind Of men do you want? Let us understand
each other now. Do we want aldermen who will
seize every opportunity, wide-awake, level-headed,
far sighted entcrprising men, who stand for progress
do want easy-going progressive men who are
in favor of continuing the present state of affairs
When ian is proposed for aldermen let us in
qure what he stood for in the past what record he
has made in TIM management of his own affairs, what
he has done show his interest in the welfare Of the
city what is his position On present problems and
what he will do in the future.
Let us look carefully into the character and
qualifications OF the men who are proposed, We can
not afford to make any mistake in the choice of alder

FOURTEEN YEAR OLD NEGRO
WEARING STRIPES FOR A
MURDER FOR REVENGE.

The prison walls in this city now
have behind them, wearing the stripes
of a convict, the youngest prisoner in
the State penitentiary. His 'name is
Sherman Johnson, a fourteen year
old negro boy, who was convicted in
Lafourche parish of manslaughter and
sentenced to the penitentiary for
twenty years. He killed little white
girl who was crossing field in which
he was working. Revenge against
the father was the cause of the crime.
Johnson does not seem to be affect
ed by the distinction of being the
youngest convict in the penitentiary,
and wears his stripes with seeming

business.

Last Thursday President Owens OF
the New Orleans, Crowley and Western
Railroad, was in our City, and after
a conference with some of our people
requested a meeting of the Board Of
Trade, as he wished to make the City
of New Iberia a proposition regarding
the entrance of his road to our City.
The meeting will be held at the rooms
of the Iberia Building Association,
on Thursday evening at 1870 O'Clock.
Mr.. Owens who is an experienced
railroad man declares his intention of
giving us another road, and it will
be up to our citizens whether or not
we secure it, We trust the meeting
will be Iargerly attended and Mr..
Owen given every possible encourage
ment in a matter of so great import
ance to New Iberia and the Parish of
Iberia and indeed all of the Southwest
Louisiana.

CANALS.

We have been extended by Mr.. X.
@. Kemper, civil engineer, an invita-
tion to accompany the Board of Com
missioners of the Bayou Carlin Drain
age District on tour of inspection of
the work recently completed by Capt,
Lewis Anglers, contractor. This trip
will be made ON the 18th Of March
and will be a most interesting and in
structive one and we shall endeavor
to avail ourselves of the courteous in
vitation. The recently formed Drain
age District the Bayou Petite Anse
and Coteau" is in working shape, the
Board having awarded the contract to
Capt. Anglers, who has already entered
upon the work and will prosecute it
with his usual intelligence and vigor.
Very little progress has been made
on the New Iberia Southern Drainage
canal, the contractor having made
less than mile of this important
work. More than year has elapsed
since this contract was awarded, and
the work should show more progress.
We know that many difficulties and
obstacles have presented themselves
in the work, but we supposed and had
been informed by the contractor, that
they had all been overcome and that
there was nothing in the way of rapid
operation of the work. We urge the
Board to look into this matter and
get some compensation for the tax
payers who have voted liberal tax
to this important work.

THE FUTURE OF YELLOW NEWS
PAPERDOM.

Hon. Henry Watterson, i'll the
Louisville Courier Journal, has the
following:
The yellow journal cannot, in my
opinion, last. In time people will
become familiar and grow tired of its
tricks and it manners. Sausages of
dog meat, though never so highly
seasoned, will, after a while, sicken
all bnt the coarset stomachs-par
ticularly when sausages are known to
be made of dog meat. The general
public will be educated to understand
the difference between Sensational and
fake matter and legitimate and reli-
able news. Sprawling headlines will
not longer suffice to carry fabrications
and exaggerations, and will cease to
provoke curiosity, and therefore to
make talk and attract attention.
Readers will mark the false statement
of to day which must be corrected, or
ignored, tomorrow, and will require
of their newspaper, as of their butcher
and their baser, straight food and
fair dealing,

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
SPREADING.

Lafayette people are moving IN the
matter of good roads. We notice that
the Good Roads Association has
entered with contract to have most
impassabIe section of road repaired
and put in good shape. The contrac-
tor, Mr.. Breaux, of Carencro, is an
expert in road building and will no
doubt give satisfaction. though it is
averred the piece III question is an
berculean task. The contract system
is the ONLY one giving satisfaction.
Our Police Jury should from the funds
secured from the road tax contract
with some intelligent and responsible
man or men, and have the roads kept
up in good style. AS it is, we have
no roads worthy of the name, yet
people shell out their money to pay
for road construction and repairs

worst places and gradually get all the

A TENDENCY TO DRAIN.

We sec it announced in one our es-
teemed contemporaries, the Iberville
South, that there is a movement ON foot
to memorable the Legislature for
funds for use of Tulane University
We are certainly in line with our
friend, Editor Schwing in opposing
this additional drain upon the educa-
tional funds of the State. From all
our exchanges can be read the paucity
Of funds for the public schools, thou
sands of children are without the ia
cilities of q common school education
and instead Of giving funds to the
support of University, who admits
only those already possessed by fair
education, we should endeavor to
build more school houses throughout
the parishes, should pay more teach
ers for inculcating the elementary
branches. Tulane for fifty years has
held most brilliant course without
help from the State. She is peculiar
ly the favorite Of rich men, who con-
stantly donate goodly sans for her sup
port. Just why Tulane should ignore
this source of revenue and desire the
State to support it, is a mystery to us.
We have already have enough Univer-
stiles supported to the detriment of
the little red school house, then why
should we add another whose habits
are very expensive and traites hard to
please. Should Tulane become the
recipient of even small sum per an
mum, it would cut off her donations
from rich men, who would think no
further funds were necessary and the
institution would become crippled
financially. No, let Tulane plod along
as she has for fifty years, and if the
State has any excess of funds that
might be given to the public school
funds of the State, for the teaching
of boys and girls the rudiments.

COUNCILMAN DALLAS.

1t is with pleasure that we chronicle
the appointment of Hon. George W.
Dallas by Governor Blanchard to the
position of City Councilman of New
Iberia vice Hon. Paul f. VOORHEES,,
who was compelled to resign owing to
business obligations. Whilst we re-
greet the loss of Mr.. VOORHEES, who al
ways stood for what was right and
who is man of good sound business
Judgment, still we feel that he has
been succeeded by one who will use
his endeavors to represent New Iberia
- she should be. Mr. Dallas repre-
sents large interests here and we know
his appointment will meet with the
approval Of AL our rid t thinking
people.

Investigation in the cotton sec
tions of Louisiana. DiversificatiOn
of crops, which has been preached
steadily by the board for a number
of years, will be more generally
followed this year than ever before.
This is great measure due to the
fact that the boil weevil has gotten
in the greater portion of the cotton
territory aud its advent makes the
growing of other crops more profit
able. Diversification takes wide
range and includes the raising of
corn, vegetables, hogs and cattle,
besides the establishment of
a large pecan farm aud goat ran
