Big Election

There will be an important election
held at St. Joseph Catholic Church next
Sunday morning, between early and high
masses, participated in by the members of
the congregation. Tho question at issue
Is whether tho congregation will allow
the Town OF Thibodaux to cut street
through its property in the rear of the
ehnrch grounds, and whether it will allow
some OF its property to be taken in ST.
Joseph Street to give the street the pro-
per width. The matter has been submit
ted, as already known by the Board OF
Trustees, Messrs. Thomas H. Roger and
A. J. Braud with Rev. Father Dubourg
to His Grace, Archbishop Blenk, and he
has given his approval, but it can not be
taken by the town unless the congrega-
ton by ballot votes favorably. This Is
the reason for holding the election Sun
day aud ali are of the opiniOn that the
vote will bc absolutely unanimous, as it
not only benefits the church property in
enhancing its value, but it accommodates
the congregation in more ways than one,
as well as does the municipality a good
turn. To vote agaius. II would do no
good as the town could by proper pro-
ceedihgs appropriate, which would only
mean expense for both sides, the town
and thoso opposing. All the other pro-
perty holdcrs, As alrpady known, have not
only consented but greet She new move
with Joy and reeeive and welcome 1t with
open arms.

The local bar has adopted reso.
lutions memorializing the Legis-
lature to increase the salaries OF
the district judges and Judges OF
the court of appeals. The argu-
ment is that in order to main.

per that able men should be
sought and they should be paid
better salaries than are now be-

follows:
At a meeting of the Bar of the

day of May. 1910. the following
resolution was unanimously ad-

sense of this bar that the salaries
of the Judges of the courts OF
Appeal and District courts OF
this State. as now tixed, are en-
tirely inadequate to the respon.

these high Offices, and the same
should be increased to an

to cancel the game scheduled with the

was q mistake, but the locals did NOS care
to make too much expense, in having the
