before the election, without any ex-

him at his word; believed he meant
what he said. He not only deceived
them and me, but it nov appears
that he deceived the people Of the

/ understood that when the new
parish was created, he wanted the
people to recommend to him such
citizens as they wished to have APP
pointed Police Jurors Of the new par

Platte, principally composed Of the
friends Of Mr.. Bussy Dossmann, snd
which meeting was attended by Capt.
Saml Haas and other Well-known
citizens, it was decided to hold q
mass meeting in the sixth ward to
recommend some one for the appoint
ment Of 8 Police Juror for that ward.
Notice of the meeting was spread
throughout che ward on Saturday,
June 25th, 1910. About 100 cIti-
zens assembled at Chicot to compose
q mass meeting for that purpose. Mr.
Busy Dos mann and his friends were
present; and TO X an active part IN
the meeting. The meeting was or
ganized and Capt. Haas was appointed
chairman, r. j. Derbes as secretary.
Two candidates we're pr posed: my
self and Mr.. Busy Dossmann, and on
counting the ballots there appeared
97 votes Of which I received 69 and

Mr.. Editor.-My attention has

Guillory, of Vile Platte, La. Mr..
Guillory under the guise and pre-
tense of correcting q news item
in your paper Of the week previ-
GUS has seen fit to take q fling
at me. His unkind and gratuit-
GUS insult could and would have
remained unnotieed if it did not
smack SO much of one who is
waltzing for a partner. The
facts are about as follows, viz:
The State Democratic Committee
authorized the Police Jury of
Evangeline to call q Democratic
Primary to nominate the Demo-
cratic candidates for parish Of
fees made necessary by the crea-
ton Of Evangeline. At the meet
ing Of the Police Jury called for
that purpose q resolution was
offered and which | had drawn
up calling a Democratic Primary
for Parish officers. Mr.. GuiIlory
presented another resolution also
calling a Primary for officers and
for the selection of a site for the
Court House. Mr.. Derouen. Mr..
Edwards and myself all expressed
the opinion that it would not be
well at this time to muddy the
political waters of Evangeline BY
prematurely bringing on a fight
over the location of the Court
House site. The Police Jury en-
tirely ignored Mr.. Guillory's re-
solution and thereby hangs his
little tale woe My argument

American and English Girls.
From the London Times.


The English girl. on the whole. COM
pares rather unfavorably VIII the Amer
lean as far as culture and its appiica ton
are concerned The country life led by
the majority of English girls renders them
somewhat dull as social factors, even IL IL
gives them that knowledge of nature as a
birthright which Is denied to the town
dwelling American girl. The contrast, in
fact Is between a product Of nature with
the most artificial Of products OF the most
"up-to-date" community.
BY nature the American girl Is colder
and less emotional than the English girl,
and her attitude toward men Is one of
unfailing good comradeship. Yet at the
same time women are considered by the
American men as race apart, who must
be placed upon a pedestal and propitiated
by much attention and many offerings In
sense the chivalric instinct is almost
too deeply implanted In the American
man. and In many of his ideas concerning
women he is, although he would be horri-
fed TO be told so. curously medieval.
And here again we come upon one OF
those deep lines OF cleavage which divide
the American ideals for woma nhood from
the English. In England before marriage
the man and the girl see comparatively
little or each other. but ;fter marriage
the compton life is a necessity, and the
woman must be prepared to study his in
terests and to make them more or less
her own. In America before marriage the
comrades. enjoying much freedom In their
intercourse: after marriage the two seem
TO lead separate lives. The man Is wholly
wrapped up In his business and the woman,
when her work in the house Is over de-
votes most of her energies to the pursuit
Of social pleasures. In fact. they cannot
really be said to lead common life.
To large extent this is the mans
fault; for he. as a rule, considers his wife
such delicate object that she is, so to
speak. put under a glass case and all
sponsibilities are carefully kept from her.
She takes no active part in the mans
everyday life. for she IL often completely
ignorant OF his financial position and IL
absolutely dependent upon him for every
penny. The idea Of marriage settlement
or a definite allowance Is abhorrent to the
American mind: and yet. when ell is said
and done. the American woman. with all
her Independence. is the most dependent
Of women, for Is not he who holds the
pursestrings. after all. the real master?

Respect and Obedience.
From the Brooklyn Standardization.


A Brooklyn man. who is educating his
SON in France. explains that he Is doing
so IN order that the boy may learn three
things-how to study. respectfuiness and
obedience. These things cannot be taught
in a school in this country. Children in
America do not learn either respect or
obedience. and they do learn II abroad"
comments the father. IL the schools are
denended upon to teach respect and obe-
dience. the American youth will never
have that polish which Is distinguishing
mark of children in several foreign coun-
tries. These two things should be taught
in the home, and parents who shift the
burden to instructors in private or public
schools ought not to be shocked IL their
Offspring fail to display good manners in
after life IL mothers and fathers are
not competent to compel respect and ODE
aience, or are so indifferent that they do
not try. they should not be surprised IL
teacher with from thirty to sixty children
to look after fails along these lines. The
work must be done at home. That Is the
place where the child Is under the mo-
theirs watchful eye every minute OF the
