INVESTIGATING THE TRUSTS.


Why has the government been un.
able to control the trusts?
While this question has not as yet
been definitely answered, the house
investigating committees are bringing
cut testimony which tends to throw
hight on the subject at least to the
end OF showing that the great trusts Of
the country have at some time or an
other had most of the government
prosecutors on their pay rolls.
United States Attorney General
Wickersham heads the list. Under
oath he admitted that the last thing
he did before taking charge of the
prosecuting machinery OF the nation
was to draw down his share of a $2G,,
600 fee from the sugar trust as mem

II appears that Mr. Kellogg besides

received from the steel trust $4,000
as extra compensation for legal serv-
ices rendered their corporations.

proven by his own testimony and

necessary to review in detail my
course for the past fourteen

of the people, and against sine
cures and extravaganza. Icourt

If the people of Opelousas will

upbuilding of the city, to the
preservation of law and order
and to a conservative and bust
ness like administration.

VOTE O

Our property-owners qualified
to vote, and residing within the
limits of the sewerage district,
should turn out in full force on
next Thursday and record THEN
votes in favor of sewerage. If
those who are in favor of the
proposition, only take the trouble
to vote, the sewerage system is
assured. When the party con-
cerned recalls the fact that every
dollar raised by the 2 IL mills
tax is to be- devoted exclusively
to constructing a public i'm
provement which will belong to
the district when completed, and
that the Sewerage Commission
ers are charged with the duty
of installing the system and pay
ing for it, and that this service
is being rendered by these citi-
zens without compensation, no
doubt should exist as to the wis
dom of entrusting this important
work to the hands Of these
gentlemen. They stand we'll as
citizens and business men, and
if the work is to be done, they
will do it right. Once accom-
plished, those residing in the
district will have an asset worth
much more than the cost; those
outside the limits Of the district
will pay nothing towards the ex-
pense. 1t is a matter that con-
Germs only those who reside with
in the district, at least, insofar
as the cost is concerned. Those
who are not to be taxed the in
significant sum should not be
permitted to influence those
whom it is proposed should pay
it. The plan is fair and equit-
able to all those who are to pay
the tax will get the sewerage;
those who do not pay the tax
will not get it. .....
This important public improve
ment, therefore, not only will
assure to all who contribute to
it's cost one of the greatest con-
veniences that a householder
desire; not only will it
make his place of residence more
sanitary and healthful; but it
will add materially to the value
# his property and be the means
# inducing other desirable peo-
lie to locate in the community.
The installation of a sewerage
'ystem in our town on the terms
Indicated would be a good pro-
,osition to the property-holders;
will get a valuable public
convenience and necessity for
he best possible price, payable
n the easiest terms, with the
ervices of the men who are
managing the proposition for
being rendered without
,ay. Can any citizen who has
he public and individual welfare
t heart fail to support the tax
roposed?

TIL SAME OLD STORY

About the only telling point
made by Mr.. Broussard in his
speech was that Gov. Sanders
forced the members of the Legis.
lature to vote for Senator Thorn.
ton against him; that if the Gov.
ernor had not interfered in the
matter s o m e, perhaps many,
would have voted for him who
voted for his opponent; that GER
tain Legislators who desired to
vote for him were sent for by
the Governor just before the
vote was taken and were told
that unless they voted for Thorn
ton that he would sacrifice a
friend who held some office; that
rather than have this happen
Broussard released his friends
from their promise to support
him, and that he consequently
was defeated for the Senate.
This is the same old story that
came out shortly after the vote
was taken which showed that
Thornton received every vote.in
the two branches of the Ieois1a-
ture but tWenty-one, or some
such Insignificant number; the
story received but little credence
then and will receive no more
now. For a man in the posses
sion of his faculties to believe
that the Governor could so abso-
IuteIy control practically the en-
tire Legislature in the interest of
another, under the threat that
the members did as he
desired, some political friend of
each member would be dis
charged from Office, is past our
comprehension. That this host
Of Legislators who voted or
had so little manhood
as to be forced against their will
to do SO, is equally preposterous.
If sworn Legislators can be in
to violate their oaths be-
cause a Governor threatens to
but some of their friends out of
office unless they do his bidding,
then indeed is popular govern
ment a failure. Is it possible
that men like Barousse e,
Lazaro and Fontenot of st. Lam
dry, and Liable of st. Martin,
and the host of others who voted
for Thornton, are so wanting in {
manhood and so derelict in duty !
Is to be guilty of such conduct?
do not believe it, and no
other fair-minded citizen will be-
ieve it! No, Nh. Broussard, the
Of the Legislature who
voted for Thornton were in the
main honest and true; some of
your friends may have gone
back on you; the Governor may ]
lave been able to persuade others
