ANNOUNCEMENT OF MUNICI-
PAL TICKET AND PLATFORM.
To THE VOTERS OF THE Town
OF LAFAYETTE, LA.


The undersigned hereby an
nOunce themselves as candidates
for election in the Democratic
primary soon to be called by the
Executive Committee. to fill the
various offices of the town for
the ensuing term. In taking
this step, we announce the fol-
lowing as our platform:
We believe that public servants
should administer their func-
tiOns according to the law and
will of the people as expressed
at the ballot box.
We believe that protection
against fire is the greatest need
in our midst; that lights are sec
ondary, and that this fact should
be recognized in eXpending pub
lie money.
We believe, also, that another
urgent public need is the i'm
prOvement in the quality of the
water afforded by our plant. We
are convinced that an artesian
well ought to have been put in
so that good and pure water
could Oe freely had for drinking
and other household uses. The
preservation Of the good health
of the town is another reason
why this should be done.
We strongly believe in the
economical and businesslike ex.
penditure of public funds, and
in public improvements general
ly, for which the revenues of our
town are now amply sufficient
without increasing the assess
ment or rate of taxation, if pro-
perly administered.
We pledge ourselves. if elected,
to put these views in force and
to use our best efforts to keep
Lafayette in line with the pro-
gressive towns around US.

LECTURES FRIDAY NIGHT
DR.. e. B. Craighead Presents Ex-
cellent View of Function of
Universities.
Illustrated Lecture on Birds by DR.
Jewell Interesting and Valuable.

illustrated Lecture on Birds by DR.
Jewell Interesting and Valuable.
The lectures at the court
house Friday night were fairly
we'll attended. DR.. Stephens
called the meeting to order and
introduced DR.. Jewell of the In
stitute, who delivered a lecture,
supplied by the Audubon Society,
on Birds. Prof. Ashby Woodson
operated the stereOpticon show
ing various birds of this State,
as the lecture proceeded. The
lecture was very interesting and
was devoted chiefly to show
ing the great value of birds
in destroying insects, thus Civ
ing invaluable assistance to the
farmer. The figures given show
ing the money value to the agri-
cultural interests of the deStruc-
ton of insects by the birds was
startling. Also, the cruelty
practiced on the heron to secure
its aigrette for women s hats was
shown on the screen so plainly
that certainly no woman who saw
it can ever wear another aigrette.
The lecture was exceedingly
valuable and such facts and pic
lures pl esented widely to the
public ought to result in stopping
the slaughter Of birds.
At the close of the stereopticon
lecture, DR.. Stephens in few
complimentary words introduced
DR.. E. B. Craighead. President
of Tulane University.
DR.. Craighead began by calling
attention to the greatness of the
United States in population and
wealth. He then spoke of the
need and value Of education for
the people to preserve our liber-
ties and promote its growth
which he predicted in a hundred
years would reach 3OO,OOO,OOO
people and fabulous wealth. He
dwelt upon the relation of the
university to the development
socially and economically of the
nation, and the duty of the State
to cultivate the brightest minds
of it's sons to meet the great de-
mand of our wonderful growth
and development. He predicted
that the time would come when
in every congressional district
institutions of learning like the
Industrial Institute would be es-
tablished. He closed by showing
the intimate relation between the
common schools and the univer-
sity and necessity for great insti-
tutions of learning. the univer-
sites, to complete the scheme of
education.
His address was closely list
eneds to, and presented to his
audience an excellent view of the
function of the university.

would nave no grounds for instituting
criminal proceedings, as she admitted
she threatened to do
Liable Civilly.
