undertaking which tends to advance us
towards it. The press, a free, unshakcled
press, is the great lever in progress OF
cities as we'll as of nations. 1t infuses
new life into everything around it.
The writer believes there is no fairer
city than Opelousas, nor n that is de-
stined to reach a higher plane in search
for fame. Endowed with rare natural
advantages; with a climate and fertility
of soil that is tie envy of all competitors;
linked with the entire world by three
railroads; peopled by chivalrous men and
beautiful women, there is no place more
to be desired than Opelousas for either
business or pleasure.
We have faith in Opelousas and her
people, and believe that this little city
is destined to be the metropolis of south
west Louisiana. To assist in achieving
this result shall be the effort of the Cou-
rier, and the promoters trust that our
people will assist them in maintaining
them in their enterprise by rendering
them a reasonable share of patronage.

BLANCHARD NOT TO INTERFERE

Gov. Newton C.. Blanchard, as forecast
in the Item, announced today that he
will not interfere with the program Of
corporation legislation proposed by Lieut..
Gov. J. Y. Sanders during the governors
recent absence in Norfolk. He thus ac-
cepts Mr.. Sanders political challenge, and
holds Mr.. Sanders to full account before
the people for the fate of the political re-
forms for the special enactment of which
he called the Legislature in extraordinary
session. He included no corporation
legislation, or other legislation, in his W
call, he declares, for fear it would hamper
the full passage of the reforms demanded
by the burdensome weight of the polite
clans upon the people of Louisiana.-New
Dreams Item, Nov. 9th.

FRR EXTRA SESSION

The General Assembly will meet on
Monday next, pursuant to the Governors
call, and the people are locking hopefully
forward for much legislation in the next
thirty days. They will not be disap-
pointed. Matters are shaping themselvesin
such manner that all the factions in the
party are almost bound to carry out the
peoples demands-the large majority
being actuated by a sense of duty, we
hope, the Others by a fear of loss of popu-
larity and of the wrath of the people.
The people are going to scan the roll
calls as they never were scanned before,
and woe to the man who finches, whether
by absence or by a vote in opposition to
the peoples just demands.
The people are in the saddle now!

PROHIBITION

There is a bare possibility of St. Lam
dry parish going dry" A step has al
ready been taken in that direction by the
Police Jury having called an election to
take the sense of the voters of the parish
on the proposition, the election to be held
on the 18th of April, 1908, the date Of the
next general State and parish election.
The call specifies that if the proposition is
carried, it shall not become effective I'M
til Jan. /, 1909. There was some effort
made to have the election take place next
month and to become effective, if carried
by the prohibitionists, January first Of
next year, but the Police Jury very wisely
determined to act with more fairness in
the matter by granting all parties inter-
ested sufficient time to consider the
move. All the saloon-keepers in the
parish have already purchased their
stock for many months in advance, and
to have placed them in the position Of
probably being left with their goods on
their hands with no opportunity to dis
pose of them would have been unjust in
the extreme. Besides, the calling of the
election at this time, when the entire peo-
pie are engrossed in the coming election
for parochial officers would have been to
inject an issue into the campaign which
would ba@e certainly resulted in much
bitterness and acrimony.
We are not yet prepared to state what
position this paper will assume with ref
erence . the proposition because the
Board of Directors of &company will
have TO outline the policXof this paper
with reference to this issue, as they have
done and will do in all other public ques-
lions. We can only ass9rt that the
trend of the times points tSthe uFimae
passing away Of the saloon-then watch
out for the blind tigers. It is possible
that henceforth the "long toddy," the
"cold pint" and the small straight
will drift into that realm of legerdemain
where a quiet knock on a table in an ap-
parently untenanted house will have the
marvellous effect of producing the de-
sired booze.

sALUTATORY

Today the semi-weekly Courier appears
OF the horizon of the newspaper world
descendant only Of an honored journal
that has done 50 much for Opelousas and
ST. Landry parish for a span covering two
generations-and greets with warm and
Kindly beam a metropolitan public.
We have embarked in this enterprise
~ith hearty goodwill and with we'll
founded hope of meriting and securing
public favor. If energy, industry and
perseverance will avail, the success Of
cur undertaking shall be fulfilled. But
we need the cooperation of our friends
and well-wishers; We need the material
lad of subscribers and advertisers. To
those We make our appeal. While com
peidve journals blaze in the same frma-
ment, our little paper will not pale in
their luminous presence if it is encour-
aged to shine.
Let it not be said as has been too often
remarked heretofore, that there is not
public spirit enough in this parish to give
this journal tangible. support. This re-
roach shall be blotted out of history
znrever.
There is not a city in the whole Union
where a paper such as we propose to pub
Esh is more needed than here, where a
magnificent city is stretching out before
u, daily expanding its giant proportions
here, where is centered the trade of
planters for many miles around-here,
where the chief executives adjust right
and wrong, and, in the course of time is
destined to be one of the most brilliant
Gties in the South.
Contemplating the high and glorious
destiny which lies before us, we should
fnd a generous encouragement to any
