be avoided.
We reached Morgan City about

by Mayor Chas. Wise and his re-

We must digress from our narra-

expression of our appreciation OF
Morgan City's able and WISE ex-
ecutive. History tells us that the
greatest of all the Romans could DO
several things at one time and be
exact in each; but it eemed to us
that the Mayor of Morgan City on
that day did forty things at one
time and each moved in perfect
harmony with the other towards
the great objective point, which
was the success of the UNDER
taking. The manner in which he
handled that tremendous crowd,

When Governor Sanders arose
pandemonium broke loose-the
applause was deafening and lasted
for several minutes. When quiet
was restored, he delivered a mas
terful oration-one which long
live in the hearts of his fellow
citizens. In fact it was one of the
greatest speeches ever delivered
in the parish of St. Mary. Yes, ii
was Islanders Day.; and San
ders' logic and eloquence and
craftsmanship lead the procession,
lust as he will lead it when the
shock of the political battle is
over in the coming primary into
the capitol of the State of Louis
lana.
After the meeting adjourned-in
fact during the whole day, the
elegant city hall was thrown open
to the visiting public. Every
comfort was extended to them
pleasure and goodwill were there
above all the sweet strains OF
music were there, and the young
people joyously "Chased the glow
ing hours with flying feet" until
the hoarse whistle of our boat
admonished us that our pleasure
had ended and that it was the hour
of parting. We had spent day
of utmost enjoyment, and we left
with sincere regret the generous
and hospitable people of our sister
city. 49,.

object that could be just as we'll

abundantly proved that tuber-

contagious and that with proper
care a consumptive, even in the

than an Egyptian mummy. What
is needed in the case of con-
sumptives is not cruel restrictive
legislation but general education
on the part of the public and the
legislative authorities. The Texas
health authorities are parties to
the tuberculosis Congress and it
is surprising and painful to see
them countenancing a measure
that is not only useless but harsh
and unjust to the tuberculosis
sufferers.

Representative Mondell of Wv.
oming has "gotten his" in the
shape of call from the Interior
Department for the return of 100
acres of government land to which
he is not entitled. In the general
shake up and Strengthening out OF
the Land Office records, it was
found that Representative Mondell
had filed on 100 acres of govern.
ment land, filed on it as agricul.
tural land when in reality it had q
vein of coal on it. Further he had
never lived on the land to perfect
his entry as is required by lsw,
but had simply had it handed to
him by the Land Office probably
more because he was a congress.
man than for any other reason.
Mr.. Mondell has been very active
in western land legislation and
has been strong opponent Of the
President in a number OF his
western land programs. Possibly
this pernicous activity had some:
thing to do with his being singled
out by the Department to pc madss
an example Of. AnyhQv he Re:
turned the land and no question:
were asked. It Is a wholesome
example, but what the country
needs is more than an example.
Of course it was wrong for a Con-
gresham or anyone else to mis-.
appropriate government land, but
there are hundreds of Thousands
of acres of valuable mineral and
timber land that have been stolen
by the thousand acres under the
tax administration of the Lapdd
Office, and it will be 9 cheering
thing when the public gets ''exs

Over Three Thous'
and People Hear
Him Speak.

Governor Sanders should indeed
be proud Of the enthusiastic re-
ception given him by the people
of HE home parish on the occa-
sion Of the opening Of his cam
paign for Governor at Morgan
City on last Thursday. 1t was
upouestionably an immense gath
ering Of the people Of St. Mary
the largest perhaps that has ever
before assembled here on similar
occasions. It's number marked up
into the thousands. Conservative
estimates place the number at
three thousand-the reporters OF
the New Orleans papers who were
present estimated that from four
to i've thousand people were pre-
sent in the City Park to listen to
the mastery effort of st. Mays
distinguished young statesman.
Morgan City was surely in her
holiday attire. Dressed in her
radient robes of bunting and ban
ners, wreathes and flowers, she
presided q queenly hostess, as she
with lavish hospitality and pride
joyously welcomed the thousands
Who had come from q distance to

long to be remembered-a day
preenant with hope and prophetic
Of victory.
The tremendous and surging
crowd Of people that filed the
streets and parks of our sister city
was orderly and quiet except when
Sanders name was mentioned.
Whenever his name was mention
