LAFAYETTE AND PRESS CONVENTION.

The beautiful little city of La
fayette, where the Louisiana Press
Convention was held, is one of the
most picturesque and beautiful
little cities in Louisiana, situated
on the borders of the Attackapas
Praires and on the banks of Bayou
Vermillion, one of the richest
farming sections of Louisiana.
One popularity of the laying out
of the city is the crooked streets.
1t has a cosmopolitan population,
with those of French descent pre-
dominating.
The business section of La
fayette is built up in modern brick
and concrete. The Gordon Hotel
is one of the best buildings in the
State. with all modern conven-
fences, and one of the best cuisines
any where IN the State. There is
a splendid little opera house in
the town, capable of holding
about 1900 people. The South
western Louisiana Industrial Inst
itute is located at this city. 1t is
credit to the State and is doing
an excellent work for our youth.
The president, DIR. E. L. Stephens.
is an indefatigable worker.
The Press gang during their
convention last week were royalty
entertained notwithstanding the
incessant rains during their stay.
Every citizen constituted them
selves committee to see that the
visitors were given a good time.
The Music Hall. Opera House,
Country Club and Industrial In

this morning with such terrific force that
the conclusion was felt in towns forty

Of them half clad thronged toward the

sides shattered doors and windows and
wrecked roofs testified TO the appalling
force of the explosion Of cordite and chem

were stocked. These buildings were prac-

I'VE take pleasure in adding our voice
to the request for an increase of salary for
government employees. The recent and in
creasing agitation Of this question has
proved beyond doubt its justice; even the
erstwhile opponents Of the measure are
now numbered among its strongest advo-
Gates. The fact that the increase Is al
most universally approved is, in itself, evil
dence Of conscientious realization on the
part Of the general public, whether d.
rectly interested or not, of its deserved
ness.
1.-The cost of living has been shown to
have increased greatly in recent years.
Statistics innumerable have been collected
to prove this fact. The average employe
of the government, who formerly managed
to live comfortably and respectfully on his
salary, now finds himself frequently pressed
to meet the cost of living. His necessities
are not only higher, but the incidental ex-
penses Of residing in the capital city have
nearly doubled since the present rate of
compensation was fixed.
1T should also be remembered that the
government workers are, as a class, a skill
ed and faithful body. The fact that they
are In Uncle Sans service demonstrates
their ability; the fact that they hold their
positions from year to year proves their
faithfulness and honesty in discharging
their duties.
Persons ignorant of the real facts have
striven to picture the government employee
as the man with plum graciously dropped
from the political tree, whose duties are
merely nominal Residents of Washington
and fair-minded people are aware that such
views are ridiculous, to say the least. He
has his work to do and does 1t, or he could
not hold his job He gets his pay for his
services, but with the honest conviction
that he is undervaiued; frequently that he
would be worth more in private employ.
Whatever the basis of the increase may
be, whether Of uniform raise all along the
line or graduated percentage, according
to present salary, we say let 1t come. 1t Is
simply justice, and Uncle Sam should set
the standard in justice as in other mat
ters.''
Would Vote for the Bill.
IF had vote it would surely be cast
in favor of the bill to give substantial in
creases to the salaries of government

In Equity and Justice.

Mr.. W. NJ Balderston, manager of the

strongly in favor Of the Davis bill, or any
other measure for the betterment of the
financial condition Of the employees Of the
government.
They deserve 1t in equity and justice"
he added "In all other lines Of business
the remuneration has been increased. Why
not the government employees? 1t is sur
prising to me how Uncle Sam can get such
high-class employees for the low salaries he
pays. The increase of pay would mean in
creased prosperity for Washington
Mr.. James Lansburgh of Lansburgh &
Bro, the dry goods merchants on 7th

that he believed the salaries should be
increased. Every merchant in Washing

movement is a good thing, and I. for one.
