mated area. | unhesitatingly second
ed this motion and shall await with
interest the report Of that committee.
There is no question but what it
is the duty of this council to take
some action that would mitigate or
regulate the outrageous conditions
of affairs that exist in this commu-
nifty. Negro prostitutes Of the low
est order parade the streets and es-
tablish themselves for the purpose of
their illegal traffic here, there and
everywhere throughout -our commu-
nifty. 4 have not committed myself
to the plan adopted by many Of the.
citizens in Southwest Louisiana,
to-wit: that of a restricted district,
but | am willing to admit that there
are some features of it that appeal
to my judgment. The public can
rest assured that the council is going
to give this matter full and fair con-
sideration, and it is the duty of every
citizen Of this town to assist US by his
or her advice and consultation to ar
rive at a correct solution of this
Vexed question"

LIQUOR LEGISLATION.

7-44=zE
The Clarion is glad that the Iegis-
lators now assembled at Baton Rouge
have entered B private agreement not
to touch upon the liquor question at
this session.
To have thrown this State into the
whirligig Of a campaign having for
its object Statewide prohibition, or
to have attempted to change the
present laws Of the State granting
the people the right to vote local
option, would have been inopportune
and have proven an incubator of Bit
ter strife and dissension.
The people should rule in shis as
well as in other matters.
St. Landry might want prohibition,
and Lafayette not.
It Is not right that st. Landry
should force Lafayette into that
which it does not want.
Such nolens yolens methods are
the cause Of the violation Of laws.
laws that are unpopular, laws that
have been choked down the throats
of an unwilling people.
The sooner it is realized that the
Ameaican people will exert their
freedom; that sumptuary laws are
obnoxious to them; that they are
fully able to take care of themselves
without the interference Of sister
communities, the sooner will the OBJ
jects aimed at by the prohibitionists
accomplished, and The sooner will the
laws command more respect.
You al lead 4 horse to water.
but you cant make him drink You
can vote a man "dry;e but you can't
make him dry
The Clarion believes in local option.
y believes that where d community
wants prohibition, it should have it,
and that the law should be enforced.
But the Clarion does not believe
that q community whose citizenship
i against prohibition should be-
shackled to the waterwagon.

Timely Questions for Farmers


Are you making the money you
feel you ought to?
Is your soil rich and fertile?
Are you sure Of your crops?
Are you sure of your prices?
Can you get help easily and cheap
"?
Does your climate agree with ,ou?
Unless you can answer yes to
each of these six questions it will
pay you to investigate 0pelousas
Louisiana farming lands, which is the
land Of big returns for the small far
mer, no where else in America can
you find such cotton, cane, rice and
vegetable lands-such cheap labor,
such convenient shipping facilities
and such quick markets.
Deep. rich, easily cultivated soil
and equable comfortable climate.
Big opportunities for settlers right
now. You'll be amazed if you let US
write you some plain farm facts for
the. farmer. comparing land values
and crop figures of different crops
you al grow in 0pelousas sec
tion. For any information write our

A RESTRICTED DISTRICT

The Young Mems Alliance Of Ope-
lousas presented to the Board Of All.
dermen a petition asking for the Sc
gregation of scarlet women in One
l@ousas, and the matter is now 10 for
investigation by a committee appoint
ed by the council.
That there is need Of regulation Is
applies to the negro street walkers"
there can be no question.
Whether districting them will have
the desired effect, and is practicable,
is very doubtful.
Il is very true that if the lower
world were placed in d district ii would
be much easier Of police surveillance
but the question arises, where to
locate that district?
y there d section ID the city not
i~nLabitated BY white people where a
district could be established?
Is it not natural that decent resi-
dents will object to be placed in the
midst Of such d district?
There's the rub.
A plan that would suggest itself IS
the arrest Of these brazen negresses
On sight"-the arrest 81 every 4
found walking on the streets after
decent hours, and their severe punish
mrut if they d not give a satisfae-
tory account Of themselves.
The Clarion has faith ii the coun-
Gil, and believes it win handle the

Opelousas, May 10
The Editor Of the New Orleans
Item:
In your edition of the 9th inst,
You published a special from your
correspondent here ID which my name
was given publicity. The special al
ludes to a meeting Of the Young
Mems Alliance, in which they pro.
nounee harsh criticisms upon myself
as well as the city Council Of Opelousas
because the City Council did not in
all respects conform to the wishes
and desires Of the Young Mems Al.
lance.
As for myself, I do not know that
owe any apologies to anyone for
the course | have pursued as a mem
Der OF the City Council, of this city.
Previous to my present incumbency I
was a member of the City Council for
six years, or three terms, and my
motives have never been questioned
or impugnatod. | was born in Ope-
%lousas, where | have raised and ed
ucated a family, and where I have
acquired property, and I feel as deep
an interest in the material welfare of
my native city as anyone else, and |
am satisfied that the assessment of
my property will equal If not exceed
that Of the entire Young Mems Pro-
gressiVe Alliance,
For reference for myself / can fur
nish the names Of the presidents Of
each of our three banks, the judge,
the district attorney, sheriff and clerk
of our parish. As soon as the City
Council started in with the new ad-
ministration we reduced the salaries
of each and every officer, but the
Young Mems Alliance was dissatisfied.
because bids that were offered at
still lower rates were rejected.
This was done because we were
looking to the fitness Of The individ-
uals selected, and while we cast no
reflections upon those whom we did
not select, our judgement dictated
the selection Of those whom we did
select, as in every way satisfactory.
Besides the charter does not provide
for bids but provides that the City
Council shall select it's officers and fix
their salaries, and knowing the fit
ness Of the men we selected, we feel
satisfied that we have made no mis-
take, and that nought can be said
them.
It may be that some members of
Young Mems Alliance were an
gered because they had asked me for
positions, but as they came after
had applied | feel sorry that /
vas not able to grant their request.
Another thing that may have anger
ID them was that they came before
City Council and requested that
] certain part Of our city should be
selected as a district in which the
women should ~congregate,
md that | refused to. in any way,
rive co~untenance to the promotion of
egalized prostitution IN the city
limits of 0pelousas.
My position il that you cannot COM
,romise with vice, and under no cir
..umstances am | willing TO tolerate
UGH burning nuisance within our city.
say drive these women away, and
i've them no encouragement what
yer.
If have offended the Young Mems
Progressive Alliance in any way, it is
.ot my fault, and in fairness to me
SIX you to give the same publicity to
his communication as you did to the
pecial alluded to, by publishing it in
he colnms of your paper.
