City Hall to discuss proposition
Of making the necessary survey
for sewerage, and otherwise feel

canal from the Teche to Bayou
Boutte, which leads to the Crane
Lake. There is but little doubt
that the citizens Of New Iberia are
almost unanimous for the sewe-
rage Of the City and there Is rea-
son to believe that a tax for botn
Of these contemplated Improve
ments will be voted by the people
If the matter is submitted TO them
in an intelligent manner and they
can be convinced that they Will
get something for their money.
The necessity for these improve
ments have been apparent for
many years, in fact the town has
actually suffered for want of
them. We have yet to see the
frs improvement tax voted dows
and feel almost assured that the
taxpayers will do their share Ii

that has the welfare of New he

meeting and show the town Off
cials that they are sincere IN
wanting New Iberia to at least
follow her sister cities in the
State that have built internal i'm
provements many years since.

Many newspapers with "a lack
of wit and logic point to the pres
ence Of 10000 idle men In Milwau-
kee. where there is socialist adj
ministration, as an indication that
socialism is a failure. 1t is very
clearly shown that the idle men
in Milwaukee are strangers IN
tho city and that large MAJOR
ity of them are professional
tramps who have flocked to Mil
waukee as a result Of the socialist
control there. Yet the newspap-
ers whose desire to be fair is the
last consideration would have the
public believe that the $4,000 idle
men in Milwaukee are workmen
who are thrown out OF work by
reason of the socialist adminlstra-
ton. If the Devil is entitled to
his due the socialists are entitled
to fairness at least.-Beaumont

A PLEA FOR JUSTICE.

Editor Enterprise.
In the name of all lovers OF
Justice / want to thank you Mr..
Editor for your brave words rel
ative to the trouble which oc-
Cured at Breaux Bridge recently,
in which you say, 1.-THE unfort-
innate part about the affair is the
disposition on the part OF many
to take the law in their own
hands when they have grievances
against negroes, and which gen
orally result seriously for those
engaged in them
The negroes it seems was only
suspected of stealing chickens,
when these self-appointed guard
ians Of the law-rather than have
the poor fellow arrested-accord-
ing to the account in the States,
decided to go and give him a
thrashing.
The negro was suspected OF be-
ing a law-breaker.
No one disputes the fact that
these men were law-breakers.
If more editors like yourself
would thus raise a voice in de
Tense of justice. which must exist
for both races in our Courts and
elsewhere if we are ever to have
peaceful law-abiding country
such disastrous encounters as the
Breaux Bridge affair would cease
to pile up burdens for our tax
payers and fill the ever-yawnlne
pockets of hungry Court officials
and yet hungrier lawyers.

ANOTHER PLAGIARISM.

Two seeds were sown the sell
same spring
One seed by careful hand
In garden soil, and one the wind
Cast down mid rock and sand.
They both sprang up, and one was
blessed
By sun and soil and care;
It. gladly grew while bright eyes
watched
The building promise there.
The other dwelt within the
shade,
Knew not what sunshine meant |;
Yet struggled on, its pale weak
limbs
By careless feet Oft bent.
When came the time of blossom
ing,
The warm and sunny hours,
The love-watched plant was rich
with bloom,
The other bare Of flowers.
In scornful pride the favored
plant,
Glanced Ger the garden wall,
And said to her who starved out
side,
"Alas. how many fall.
You Chose the ill, while I fulfill,
The mission of my life,
SO my reward is JOY and bloom.
While yours is sin and strife.
A wise one paused and said,
"Behold
A type Of man on earth;
One soul is cast in sorrow soil
And fed ON sin from birth,
And then because it fails 70 bloom,
IT'S tired upon and cursed
By those whose lives were 'sown
in JOY,
BY loves warm sunshine
nursed."s
I have always loved poetic
gems. Like diamonds. they rep
resent wealth in small compass.
Who of us have ever heard bet
ter sermon than that preached lii
the simple lines above. Most ser
mons are too long. The world at
large can only accept truth in
homeopathic doses. but most OF us
in our zeal for righteousness con-
tinue to dish it out by the yowl's
allopathic process.

views of this being thrown upon the

In conclusion Engineer Cooper
pointed out the wonderful part cement
has played in the construction OF pro
iects of this kind and of the re
markable rapidity with which work
may be pushed. In the Mccall Ferry
lob most of the concrete work WAS
completed in thirteen months al
from it the conclusion may easily be
drawn that the Keokuk project will
be finished on schedule time.
Briefly Engineer Cooper gave his
auditors an idea of just how the
Keokul dam will. be built, and q
front elevation was shown to Illus
trate When the dam first stretches
from the Illinois shore to the power
house it will look like a long arch
bridge. The various elevations We're
shown and it was then explained that
/ all of the openings would not be
closed up at once but only five feet OF
concrete between twelve piers would
be put in at time, Thus the Level
will be lifted five feet at a time until
the proper height is reached. Be
tween the piers steel doors are placed
and the concrete built within them,
When the concrete has set they are
removed. In order that the flow of
water may be controlled it is neces-
sary in the construction to have work
on the power house kept in advance
of that on the dam so that during
the building there will he very little

WANTED MONEY
TO GET MARRIED
The Reason Why William Rogers
Framed Up Kidnapping Case in
Santa Fe.

IGate City Leased Wire Service
SANTA FE, n. NJ, April 15,-Wil-
liam Rogers, arch conspirator in the
Waldo Rogers kidnapping case, declar-
ed today that his object in securing
the $4,000 ransom was to get enough
money to marry and establish himself
in some kind of business.
1t is reported Rogers fiancee lives
in Los Angeles, Calf, and is the
daughter of wealthy family of that
city. Rogers had no money on which
to marry and he did not want to ask
the girl to become his wife until he
could provide for her
Despite the gravity of the crime
with which he is charged and which
he confessed to, Rogers feels conf.
dent that he will soon be released on
bail and will eventually escape trial
and punishment through the refusal Of
his brother to prosecute.
