POLICE JURY DEMOCRACY.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Will you allow me a space in
your valuable paper for a
"seuib?" | have always been
taught that democracy was gov
eminent of the people, by the
people and for the peo-
pie" Since the Police Jury
has turned down a thousand pc
titioners asking their rights un-
der the local option" law it
seems that Lafayette Parish de-
mocracy has revised the read
ing and it now goes thus: gov
eminent of the people, by thu
Police Jury, and for the saloons"
Democracy, as we understand it,
means the rule of the majority
as expressed at the polls. By
what right does the Police
Jury become a returning board
for an election that has never
been submitted to the people?
The pros petitioned for their
rights under the law. The antis
petitiOned that these rights be
not granted them. What will
the people do?

table was sounded. and then excite
ment and pleasure reignedsupreme until
every game a played. Between
games the hostess served delicious
fruit punch which was much enjoyed
and very refreshing. Mrs. Joe Mou-
ton was the only lady who won every
game, therefore the much wished for
suit de mutt fell to her, and with
pleasure she presented it to the guest
of honor, Mrs. Jung. Mrs. Wood
son winning the next highest number
of games received the pretty punch
set.
Mrs. VOORHEES, was then assisted by
Mrs. Doucet in serving delightful re-

How to Cure u Cold.

Be as careful as YOU can YOU will
occasionally take cold, and when you
do, get medicine of known reliabil-
ity, one that has an established repu-
tation and that is certain to effect
a quick cure. Such a medicine is
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
has gained a worldwide reputation
by its remarkable cures Of this most
common ailment, and can always be
depended upon. 1t acts on natures s
plan, relieves the lungs, aids cXpecto-
ration, opens the sec .etions and aids
nature in restoring the system to a
healthy condition. During the many
years in which 1t has been in general
use we have yet to learn OF single
case of cold or attack Of tie grip
having resulted in pneumonia when
this remedy was used, which shows
conclusively that it is q certain pre-
ventive OF that dangerous disease.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy con-
tains no opium or other narcotic and
may be given as confidently to a baby
as to an adult. For sale by ]. w.
