Join The Procession

With all this discussion and
planning for good roads. going on
in other parishes, it is worth
while to inquire where West
Felicianas stand on this impOr.
tant matter. Plunged as she is
in the first feelings of dismay
and depression after the financial
disaster entailed by the boil wee.
vii, she is inclined to say that
the time is not suspicious for in.
curing any further debt or ex-
pense, therefore, that she is
not financially able to undertake
road improvement.
We admit that there is much
truth in this conclusion, and that
the people can hardly be blamed
for shrinking from any extra
tax or expense, but on the other
hand can they afford to be left
behind in the march of progress
made by their neighbors in other
parishes?
In this, they may we'll take
pattern by the course pursued
by shrewd, capable merchants in
times of financial stress. The
latter do not shut up their stores
and discontinue business, nor
do they withhold all credit from
patrons. This would be curing
the disease by killing both doc
tor and patient.
Rather, such merchants be-
come more careful in extending
credit, buy more closely, push
their selling and curtail useless
expenses.
In like manner, the wise citi
zen at this time will proceed eau
tiously in assuming new public
obligations, but he will no
eschew all advancement, he will
study carefully what is needed
and what improvements will il
the long run prove a saving il
the carrying on of public ant
private business. We have be
fore said that in hard times, tn,
people cannot afford to do with
out good schools for their chill
dren, Equally so, they canno
afford to do without good road
to haul the crops to market over
Not to mention the multiplicity o
other benefits brought by goo,
roads, certainly the item of tn
saving of expense in hauling
is alone worth the effort to hay
them. We trust West Felician
will think very seriously of thi
matter and prepare to take up
line of march in step with he
sister parishes and to the tun
set by modern civilization.
