C A p g uLE q
VALUE OF LIFE.

Life is not cheap. Every per.
sons life is as precious to him as
yours ia 80 you. Every human
life taken without the sanction of
the law is murder. You can not
afford to stand still and see
murder after murder committed
and never lift even your voice in
protest. Life is not cheap. A
murderer's life is a forfeit due as
long as he lives. The crime of
murder never prescribes. Life is
not cheap. God says that the
IN lrderer shall not inherit the
kingdom OF heaven. Life is not
cheap. He who wrongfully takes
it shall realize that the way OF the
transgressor is hard, he will find
that the price he has to pay will
consume bis means and leave him
poor indeed, with sleepless nights
and restless days and everlasting
gloom. The only protection for
life is the law and good eitize rs
can not esteem it too highly; tLey
can not obey it too jealously. The
law is the life and light Of civiliza-
tion Rust0n Leader.

was sentenced to the penitentiary
He has a loving wife, pretty chill

that he might cut a dash in New

There are still some elections
to come in Parish wards but
the building of the road has
been assured. In only one in
stance has the election failed
and that failure is regarded as
for the betterment Of the line
since 1t saves more in the cost
OF the road to run straight

not anticipated that there will
be any other failures to carry

WATTERSON'S TRIBUTE TO MRS.

II ever a star fell from heaven

Hover grew into a woman-that
star and that flower was Ida Sax
ton Mckinley. There wac an aro-
ma OF sweetness and grace in the
very name. Her husband never
addressed her, never referred to
her, except AS "lda." BY an in
disposition little short of divine
the full knowledge of the supreme
tragedy which descended into a
life yet in its noon was spared her;
the angel drew a veil as Of tears
between her and its full realization.
God had given it to Ida Saxton
to be ftly mated. There were
many beauties aud virtues in the
character of William Mckinley;
his career was sbuudsntly fulnlled,
and the crown OF glory he wore
with such consuming modesty
was studded with jewels both rich
and radiant; the soldier, the civil
Ian, the man Of affairs and the
party leader; but the rarest of all
that shone in that priceless diadem
was his devotion-simple, constant
and unerring- to Ida ~
Let the winged spirit take it's
way to the immortal spirit waiting
for it's mate. Much shortened is
the distance to heaven from earth
between these TWO. Around the
seraphs stand in robes of light.

alone be heard, just only the one

RAILROAD TAX ELECTION.

| his was the result OF the
railroad tax election in St. Mar
tinvlIle on Saturday, as fore
shsdowed in Saturdays paper,
and 1t indicates that despite the
the organs Of the S. 7. K. r.
the people of that growing city
are alive to the Importance OF
encouraging all the railroad COM
petition possible.
1t was not expected that there
would be quite so decided an
expression of opinion for the
reason that one of the papers
there was openly against the
proposition to improve. On
Saturday the weekly Msssen-
ger" came out with this edi-
torlal:
Today our people will be called
upon to vote for or reject the pro-
posed special tax of $4,000 which
is asked in favor of the New Iberia,
st. Martin 4 Northern Railroad.
Some Of our people seem too see
n great deal Of good to come out of
this proposed road which is to run
from New Iberia to Port Barre,
which are already reached by the
present branch of the Morgan
Railroad.
We cannot see what good we can
get out of this proposed road for
our $50, 900 and we believe the tax
should be defeated, etc., etc.
The result of the election
would seem to indicate that the
paper IN question has no inhu-
ence in that city. Out of IoS |
votes only E representing val
uation of $S,4oo followed the
advice of this paper. A news
paper has right to its own
opinion but it is seldom that
one is so decidedly in the minor
ity in cities like St. Martlnville,
and progressive people here
congratulate St, MartinvilIe that
on this occasion it has risen to
the occasion so emphatically in
favor OF progress despite the
opinion expressed.
President +. M. Welch of
the "Evangeline road said today |
in 9relation to the election that
it marks a new era in the devel- |
opment of the whole Tsche
country:
"Ths action OF the people
OF St. Martinvile who voted
the amount as agreed upon be-
tween the people of New Iberia,
St. Martinvills, Breaux Bridge
and St. Martlnvillc 10 to be
commended and taken As an
evidence ofa desire TO get to the
front at the earliest possible mo-
ment, Breaux Bridge by its
decision to stay off the line Of
the new road has saved the
"E.vangeline' company at least
$4,000 in construction, for the
road will now be built in a
straight line which will pass
about four miles from Breaux
Bridge"
President Welch said he
thought the people of that town
had made 4 great mistake in al
lowing party politics to interfere
with the prosperity of the town
and was OF the opinion that the
citizens weuld regret their action
when the results begin to show
the cost of the mistake.
