At a recent meeting of the town
council they have abolished the
Office of chief of the fire depart
ment. This was grave mistake
made by the council. A chief to
the fire department is of the great
est Importance and outside of the
Jurisdiction of the police. A po-
lice man cannot be supposed to be
a chief of the fire department, the
police have as much as they can
do at fires without assuming the
duties of fire chief. 1t seems to
us if there was any complaint
against the present chief of the
fire department, MIR. J. A. Guerin,
he should have been given a hear
ing before being fired without no
tice as he was. aud if be was not
performing his duties, it was the
fire department to remove him
and not the council. Mr.. Guerin
says the council could only stop
his payment, but not discontinue
bis Office and place that power in
the hands of the police. He holds
his appointment from the fire de-
partment and claims that he is
still chief of the fire department
even il the council has stopped
bis payment. But now there will
be conflict of authority, the chief
of department appointed by the
ffremen and the chief appointed
by the town council, which one is
the legal chief? 1t seems to US
that q volunteer force of firemeu
should have their right to select
their own chief and refuse to serve
under the authority of the police
imposed upon them by the coun'
Gil. The fire department should
take this matter in hand at once
We must have a fire chief and the
firemen and the people must know
who is their chief and has ths
right and authority to command a
fires.

ter from Mr.. A. A. Morrow, of st.

st. Martinville. La. Aug. 10, 1907.
"Hon. R. N. Sims, New Orleans,
Dear Sir:-Some time ago l was
reported by a correspondent of the
Times-Democrat as having said
that l was a friend and supporter
of the Hon. j. Y. Sanders (at that
time 1 was) and that all the friends
of Sheriff Pellerin would support
him as candidate for Governor.
Whether 1 did say that or not is
immaterial now.
1.-THE issue to-day with me IL al
together different. Then the fight
seemed to me to be between my
friends, ]. Y. Sanders, and the
Hon. T. s. Wilkinson. Now it has
a different aspect. My distingu-
ished and popular Congressman
and close personal friend, Bob
Broussard, has joined the Wilkin-
son forces, and l cannot possibly
place myself in the attitude of op-
posing any man or measures
which he supports and advocates.
My friendly relations to him have
been 80 close and endearing, and
1 have been 80 long accustomed tc
follow and be with him in all biz
political views, that l am evel
ready to submit to and recognize
his right to advise the best course
to follow, particularly on politica
questions.
Having been q planter all m!
life, and knowing what good Boil
Broussard has done for the sgri
cultural interests and material de
velopment of this State, I feel il
} duty bound to give such right t
his views on all public question

ing discussed and considered, ant

He was asked if he thought the
stand recently taken by Congress
man Broussard in support of COL

suits, to which he replied
ut seems to me that under the

results would depend upon the
candidates themselves and their
personal influence. Lieutenant
Governor Sanders comes before
the people for promotion after ha-
wing made good in every depart
ment in which he has served. l
believe in Sanders, as our people
do, and that our parish will give

bring to the aid of physical suffering
/ not only the sympathy, tenderness
and love which only ii woman can
give, but the trained hand, the observ-

bends to it all the energies of her be-

the truest impulses of her heart, that
humanity may be lifted up, that the
sick may walk again in health and
strength.
The skilled hand, the well equipped
offices of the nurse, who knows her du-
ty, are in constant demand, and the
call for them is ever widening. This
may especially be said of the nurses
who graduate from the New Orleans
Charity Hospital School. Many a
woman, hitherto unconscious of the
hidden powers that lay within her,
has found in this great school, the OD-
pOrtunity for that study and develop

most lucrative means of livelihood,
