another ST. LANDRY
BOY DISTINGUISHES
HIMSELF ABROAD.

The many friends of DIR
Marion H. Foster, eldest son oil
DR.. and Mrs. Paul Foster, vii
doubtless be gratfied to learn
that in his examination recently
before the Oklahoma S a G
Board of Medical Examiners,
which convened at Guthrie,
Okla, for license to practice in
in said State, he led the class of
73 doctors from five different
States, who went before the
Board, making the highest gen
eral average (91 per cent? which
placed him first on the Honor
Roll. Only one other man at
tanning to this distinction as sec
ond to DR.. Foster, he making an
average of 80 per cent. Twenty
two of the applicants failed to
pass the examination.
The DR.. is now associated in
practice with DR.. O. E. Howell,
of Oktaha, Okla, at which place
they are doing a large practice.
It seems that st. Landry boys
generally make good, whenever
put to the test.
The young doctor also recently
scored another victory, in that
he won the heart and hand of
one Of Oklahoma's fairest daugh-
tiers, Miss Gertrude Contrell, a.
distinguished musician and vo-
calist, whose splendid voice has
brought her notoriety. The
young lady also holds two col
lege diplomas.
They were married August 10,
1911.

Some More Quibbling.

! I0VAAAO &AOAp . EWAWUAAASs
Have you noticed a peculiar
and artful dodge in language ex.
Ihibited by Judge Hall in refer.
ence to the letter in which he
asked Bernstein, his campaign
manager, to solicit the vote OF
the game Wardens and regis
trars
The above was the direct ques-
tion Of one of the most promi-
nent citizens of Opelousas, ad-
dressed to the Clarion man.
Why, = continued the gentle
man, in his excuse for the let
ter, he says A letter from you
to the registrars and g a m e
Wardens might do some good!p
His letter, in his own hand
writing, says that a letter from
Mr.. Bernstein WOULD do
some good!p'
The inference is that Judge
Hall even after he saw the let
ter, which he had previously de-
MED writing. now forgets the
phraseology of it.
Don't Remember Luther
Judge Halls fatal absence of
remembering things occurring
in the past would justify his be-
j n g called DON Remember
Luther.
They have dubbed Mr.. Michel
Pussy Foot Johnny because
he did not go on the stump and
make a big noise.
Now, is it not fair to call the
fellow who makes big noise
but who forgets what he writes
Don -Remember-Luther?"

Port Barre Authorities Eff
cient

The Sheriff informed the
Clarion that too much credit can
not be given to the local authori-
ties at Port Barre for arresting
and bringing in the negroes for
breaking in and robbing a house
there on August 20.
The town Marshalls, Ashton
Dejean, Nicholas Lahaye and
their assistants ought to be con-
graduated and if other localities
had officers to act as promptly
as they have, the parish would
soon be rid of such niscreants.

CANDIDATE HALL IS
REACHING The VERY
HEIGHTS.
Says He Is the Candidate of
John NJ. Parker, the
Republican.
Judge Hall is becoming really

i Judge Hall is becoming reall,
i ridiculous in his campaign.
/ He does not deny the 'Deal
Henry" letter, in which hi
sought the support of the regis
trars and game Wardens in his
race for Supreme Judge.
! But yet he attacks the very
system which he implicitly ad.
mits placed him in the chair Of
Associate Judgeship of the Su-
preme Court-a chair which he
refuses to resign in order to run
for Governor, and a chair which
many believe he will not resign
even if he is elected Governor.
| He says the Supreme Bench
has been the goal of his am
bition.
And, many believe, he will hold
on to that goal.
He says he was selected as a
candidate for Governor as the
savior of the people of the State
the savior from a system that
he was but a few months before
a part and parcel of, and of
which his law partner is now an
active member of.
Listen to this, from the I'm
maculate Judge Hall, now when
he says this man, he is speaking
of John NJ. Parker, Republican, ::
When this man came I had
no idea of becoming a candidate.
as there were others fully able
to head the movement. At that
time there was a movement on
foot to ruin the reform move
ment, and under the circum-
stances / was the only man who
could prevent it. I had to say
yes or no. IF I had said no,
the reform movement would have
died. If / consented to run, I
would prevent this collapse. I
was in the position where I had
to help one side or the other. Fl
was placed in this position not BY |
my own seeking. Instead Of |
casting my lot with the bosses
and helping them out, I cast my
lot with the cause of the people, |
not only with the people who /
understood had honored me time
and time again, but with the
people of the entire state. "
Now, gentle reader, just read |
The following extract
from a letter from Judge
Hall to his campaign manager in
The Supreme Juegeship race, and
WHICH JUDGE HALL HAS
NEVER DENIED.
Read it we say, and tell us
whether Judge Hall is "a serious
nan, and never jokes, or not.
It rings to US like a joke.

points In ST. Landry next week,
beginning on Monday, the 18th,
at 8 o'clock in the forenoon.
We are authorized to say
that this will not be Judge
Halls last visit to st. Landry
that he is expected to return to
the old parish during the course
of the campaign.
The various candidates for
United States Senator have also
been invited to be present, but
as most of them have dates for
other places, it is probable that
few Of them viii be able to at
tend the meetings.
Judge Hall is an entertaining
speaker.
The itinerary is as follows:
Monday, September IL, 1911,
Bellevue 9 o'clock, a. m.; Coulee
Croche at IL o'clock m.; Grand
Coteau at 2 o'clock p. M; Leon

The above tour as arranged
will be made by automobile if
weather conditions permit. In
the event of bad weather, so as
to preclude the use of automo-
biles, another program will be
arranged, of which due notice
will be given.
LATER.
A joint Senatorial debate had
been suggested to take place at
Opelousas in the afternoon of the
18th, but now it appears that
two of the candidates for that
office will not be present. Gov
ernor Sanders has written to Mr..
John w. Lewis that it was not
possible for him to be present on
that day, owing to a previous en-
gagement, and Senator Foster
has also written to Mr.. Lewis.
that it is doubtful whether he
can be present. Messrs. Rams
dell, Pujo and Broussard will
probably be present.
But the Opelousas meeting
will take place on the 18th, at
an hour to be announced later
on" said Mr.. John w. Lewis,
and I am assured that there
will be a large crowd present.
In fact, ] have received assur-
ances from all points at which
Judge Hall and others will speak
that there will be a large at
tendance at every meeting"
There will be a barbecue at /
Port Barre on the 18th.
Owing to the fact that Judge
Hall could devote but five days
to st. Landry, he was compelled
to eliminate from his itinerary
Notleyville, Waxia, Palmetto, |
Rosa, Morrow and other points.
But, as said before, he ex-
poets to return at some future
day.

1T IS NOW DON'T
REMEMBER LUTHER"
Why the Clarion Is Taking Deep Interest In the
Present Campaign--S Sanders Needed At
Washington

It may sound logical to others.
A fellow can talk pathetically
when he is hungry.
Maybe we don't assert it as
a fact that our friends of the
Republican and ex-official ranks
are hungry.
A fellow will get hungry when
he has not had a good meal for
four years.
For the sake of our friend
Sibille, we will say that this does
not apply to all supporters of the
Good Government League

Why The Clarion Is Political.

''The Clarion is strictly politi-
cal of late, to the exclusion of
local news, and other matters
concerning the people generally. !"
Thus expressed a good friend
of the Clarion last Tuesday.
Our answer was that there
was no question more vital to the
people of the State at this time
than politics.
We endeavored to show our
friend that politics was essential
to the welfare and the good of
the entire State, which meant
the good of the entire people.
We told our friend that Louisi-
ana had the opportunity Of send
ing to the United States Senate
a son that had already attained
a National reputation a son who
would accentuate and make
grander the name Of Louisiana
Louisiana the birthplace of Chief
Justice White, and of Randle
Gibson, and Of Benjamin, and Of
Cafery, and other notable men
whose lights even now burn
brightly in the records of
national legislation and in the
hearts of all Louisianians.
We told our friend that we
were unalterably a friend of
]. 7. Sanders for the above, and
other reasons.

4 Treat.

The Clarion force were reci-
|pients Of some delicious sand
Wiches and beer on Thursday
evening, complimentary Of Mr..
John Molaison.
Mr.. Molaison has opened d
cold lunch stand IN his saloon
and will keep on hand all
kinds Of sandwiches and cold
lunches. He will fill all tele-
phone orders promptly.

The Other Reasons.

The Other Reasons.
The other reasons are that the
opposition is not carrying on a
fair campaign.
We might use the language of
Mr.. Pujo, but we will refrain
from doing that but it is never
theless a fact that the epithet
applied to Governor Sanders by
Mr.. Pujo can be thrown back in
the teeth of many who are now
pursuing campaign Of vilifca-
tion and Misrepresentation.
And another: The Clarion
can never make up its mind that
an organization, formed largely
of Republicans and ex-ofiee
holders, are earnest in their plea
for reform.
It does not sound logical to the
Clarion,

Ordinance

Acting under a resolution adopted ley
the city council last night the city
attorney will prepare an ordinance
providing for the sale of $4,000 Of

an almost unanimous vote Of the
people some three years ago.

nance at once.
Alderman White Immediately pre-
scented a substitute providing for a
committee to confer with the taXpay-
ers affected to ascertain their views
and wishes, and report back to council.
Aid. White said that he had talked
the matter over with some large
property owners and insisted that this
was the proper procedure, that the
wishes of the property owners should
receive consideration and be given due
weight.
Attention was called to the circular
letter issued during the recent cam
paign, signed by Aldermen Council,
Riley and White, stating, I'VE favor
extensions of the sewerage system, i'm
provement of the waterWorks, paving
of the streets and any other civic i'm
provements that are consistent with
the financial ability of the city"
Aid White still held that a further
investigation of the desirability Of
street paving at this time should be
had before definite action by council
The substitute was put and defeat,
ed Aldermen White and Riley voting
in favor, and Aldermen Allen and Boil
ton against it. Mayor Mathis cast the
deciding vote against the substitute.
The original resolution was then
passed by a vote of 8 to ,. The oIdi.
nance providing for the sale OF tho
bonds will accordingly be in readiness
at the next meeting
