priest can perform the ceremony
in the presence of two witnesses
The second is decidedly reVo-
Iutionary. 1t is that when there
is no priest obtalnabIe IN the
district man and woman may
contract marriage that will be
valid merely by entering into
the agreement in the presence OF
two witnesses. The latter IS
the most important change in
the marriage laws of the church
during the past three centuries.
1t introduces radical over
turning of legislation in every
country of the world, and is re
earded as a very first indication
of several sweeping changes that
are to be introduced into the
new code of Plus TX, which en-
gagged the labors of the most
learned body of ecclesiastical
authorities in the Catholic
church for the past four years,
and which eventually will cover
the entire field of church legls-
Iation.

Omaha, 'Neb., Aug. go
Another speed test of a Union
Pacifc's gasoline motor car has
been made, and $40 miles were
covered forty minutes faster
than the regular schedule for
the same route.
The run was continuous from
Omaha to Denver, the motor
car, being scheduled as the sec
ond section of the Overland
Limited from Omaha TO Jules
burg. The running time OF
the fast Denver train is seven
teen hours and fifteen minutes;
the motor cars time was sixteen
hours and thirty four minutes,
demonstrating the cars wonder
ful speed, as well as its remark
able endurance.
Other cars of the same type
are in daily service, covering
about ia miles day. The
Union Pacific has under con-
struction eighteen additional
gasoline motor cars, intended
especially for branch-l;pe traffic, /
n which motors have demon
trated their superiority over
team trains, both as to econo-
ny of operation and in enabling
he railroad to give more ire
uent and faster service. +

CANAL WORK PROGRESSING.

According to accounts brought
to the City the Commercial
Canal is progressing at the rate
of four or FIVE hundred feet per
day and it will not be long be-
tore it has reached the +. &. A.
K. R. The bridges were be-
gun Monday by Contractor
Barth and will be ready for use
before the cane hauling season
begins.
Mr.. Barthe says that the crews
on the floating dredge are anxi
Gus to make particularly good
showing this first month of the
double work and are taking no
holidays. They even worked
all day Yesterday and last night.
The last week a very peculiar
piece of ground was gone
through. 1t was hard and
rather sandy and was not easy to
handle. But the bed of an an
cient BAYOU was found and for
SO feet there wasn't any digging
to amount to anything, The
earth came out in huge flakes as
fast as the bucket could be
worked.
1t was at first thought that it
would be easy to 60 through the
CouIee Rodere but it has been
found that it is really more diff
cult to make progress there
than if the coulee did not exist.
The banks are overgrown with
willows that when pulled out
caves the earth in and makes it
difficult to handle. 1t is thought
that when the coulee is left be-
hind the progress will be more
rapid.
On this side OF the railroad,
it is said that some provision
will have to be made. for the
earth or it will cover fences and
encroach on the ground of the
people lining the canal. There
will be dams in the canal SO as
to raise the dredge SO that it will
not be necessary to cut more
than the required width. Below
the railroad track the canal has
been cut to width of 36 feet
to accommodate the floating
dredge but it is proposed to
raise the dredge so that only the
contract width will be dug, un-
less it is desired to pay for the
extra digging. Thus at this end
of the canal the waterway will be
only what the contract calls for
while below Mr.. Thomas been
giving an extra width simply to
accommodate his dredge. Since
he can provide against this at
the end of the canal by using
dams he will save himself ex-
pense while at the same time
giving just what is paid tor.

A JOINT DEBATE.

At political meeting held at
LeesviIle this week the real ginger
of the campaign was the joint de-
bate between Our present Attorney
| General Guion and Mr.. Paul A.
Sompayrac his opponent from Cal
casieu Parish.
In his address the attorney gen
eral, after bewailiDg the fact that
as soon rs his Office was pnt on a
paying basis, he found three can.
didates disputlug the nomination
with him, said that Mr.. S0mpay-
rae, at the Crowley meeting, found
fault with the attorney general be
cause he had not prosecuted the
trusts and had apparently done
nothing for the benefit Of the state.
Mr.. Guion challenged Mr. Sompny-
rae to point out ANY Of the trusts
doing business in Louisiana.
In responding Mr.. Sompayrac
stated that the audience present
had just heard the attorney gen.
eral acknowledge that he did not
know Of any trust or corporation
doing business in Louisiana, in
violation OF the law. General
Guion asked me to point out some
Of the offending corporations, +"
said Mr.. SOmpayrac, 81 shall not
do so. 1t is not my business to do
so, and the state is not paying me
for finding out who these trusts
are. Yon have, however, heard
the attorney general acknowledge
that after serving eight years in
the attorney generals Office, he is
not bile to cite single trust doing
business in Louisiana.
81 call your attention to the fact
that Texas has an attorney general
named Davidson aud Missouri has
one named Hadley, who in brief
of service, have been able to point
ont the Waters Pierce Oil Go. as a
trust and had it excluded from do
ing business in their respective
states. The Waters Pierce Oil Co.
does business, | am informed, in
every city and town in Louisiana.
! do not say that ii is trust, but
it Is the business Of your attorney
general to know whether it is a
trust or not, and if | am elected to
fiji the office will guarantee that
| will know whether it is a trust
or whether any other trusts ale do.
ing business in Louisiana, and |
will prosecute them whenever |
obtain the information necessary.
81 challenge Attorney General
Guion to point out one single act
that he has performed, during his
eight years term of service, for the
benefit of the people Of Louisiana" "
Attorney General Guion did
not attempt to respond to Mr..
Sompayrac's direct charge and the
latter's speech was received with
thr greatest demonstrations of APP
proval. All who were present
agree in saying that the Calcasieu
for attorney general liter
ally "burned up" his opponent
and left him without single word
to say in his own defense. "If
Guion attempts to meet Sompayrac
in debate at few more points in
this State" said a prominent poll
tician who was present at the meet
ing, "the attorney general will not
be in sight Of the distance flag
when the primary race is over"

Rome, Aug. 26.-Within a
few days an extraordinary SEN
sational and revolutionary law
interesting all Catholic clergy
men and laymen in the United
States, and affecting directly all
Catholics in America, will be
promulgated by the Vatican
authorities.
The new law, which is con-
tained IN a decree OF the con-
gregatlon of the council, drafted
by the special request of His
Holiness Pope Plus TX, ordains
that from next Easter no mar
riages among Catholics shall be
valid unless they are contracted
before a duly authorized priest
in the presence of two wit
nesses.
There will tie only two ex-
ceptions to this law which is to
be universal for all countries.
The first is that when there is

GAINING IN STRENGTH.

Apparently there is but one can
dldate in the field for the ShrievaI-
ty, so far as the people of this
Parish are concerned. 1t is said
that straws show the way the wind
blows and in this instance they are
all blowing one way-toward The
reelection of Sheriff Henderson
There have been in the last fort
night many impromptu political
gatherings in various portions of
the Parish and at each and every
one. of them it has been unmis-
takably shown that so far as the
people are concerned, he is the only
person considered in connection
with the Office. 1t is an unmis-
taxable fact that in every hole and
corner of the entire Parish be is
stronger to-day than he ever was
before. In Wards where it wa
reported that there was strong OPP
position to his candidacy it has
been found that this report was
mistake. The feeling is entirely
in bis favor. There are, Of course,
few disgruntled Office seekers
who are endeavoring to create an
impression that there is al opposi-
tion to him, but investigation
shows that their claims are not
based upon anything but wind.
The fact Of The matter is, the
people know how Mr.. Henderson
has served the people since he has
held'the Office. They know from
observation that he is the man for
the Office and they are not in bu-
NOR to give their support to an un-
known and untried mqn. They
are satisfied to retain the best nan
for the place and very plainly state
that they do not care to expert
ment in this important Office with
a person of whom they know moth
ing.
Mr.. Henderson has held office
long enough for the people to
realize that he has conducted that
Office for the good of the people.
Daring the entire term of his SER
vice there has been nothing that
could be siezed upon AS capital for
campaign against him, The fact
is he has made an ideal Sheriff and
there is not the least desire to
change at this stage of the progress
OF the Parish. Mr.. Durocher may
be a good man. Nobody knows
whether he wouId be the proper
man for Sheriff and it is not pro-
posed to fiud out at this time.
There is Sheriff in the place now
who is fully capable and the people
intend to keep him there. They
are not experimenting, especially
when they are satisfied.
The indications are that Mr..
Henderson will be reelected to his
present position by larger vote
han ever recorded for him before.
