WORTHY OF ENCOURAGE
MENT,

In another column appears a call
bv number of ladies Of New Ibe-
ria inviting the women taxpayers
to assemble on Thursday, Sept.
Dist at four O'Clock for the pur-
pose of forming a Womans Civic
League Association for the ad-
vancement of civic improvement in
New Iberia. These civic organiza-
tions in other communities have
been materially responsible in
waking up and stimulating the
male sex in their own welfare and
in dozens of instances even in a
City like New Orleans there would
have been no sewerage system to
this day had not the taxpaying
women taken the lead and de-
manded that bonds be flOated for
those purposes. The same thing
can be done here if a concerted
movement is started with that aim
in view. The necessity of a good
system Of sewerage and good
drinking water in New Iberia is
paramount to any other question
confronting our citizens at this
time, but apparently what is
everybody's business seems to be
nobodys business and no effort is
made by the business men and
properly holders to submit a
proposition for a bond inssue of
any kind whatsoever.
One by one even towns as small
as Opelousas are equipping them
selves with a good sanitary sew
erage system which is bound to
better the health conditions and
make that place a desirable one
for newcomers and a better one
for the inhabitants of the present
time. Where men are Indifferent
as they are here, there is nothing
left but that the good women be-
stir themselves and insist that &C.
ton be taken all once to put New
Iberia in a good healthy sanitary
condition which can only be ac-
compisRed with sewerage and
good drinking water furnished by
the City. The ladies should be
encouraged in this movement and
The Enterprise tenders the use of
it's columns to those who care to
further discuss the most feasible
plans in getting a general i'm
provement tax before the people.

IBERIA YOUTH WINS RE-
WARD OF $500.

Some two months since young
Rodney French OF this City. a
youth Of about fifteen summers
took advantage of excursion rates
to Houston. Texas, to enjoy Il few
days outing ard sightseeing. 1t
seems that when in that city b.
was accOsted by man named
Wyatt, who introduced himself DIS
Charles Shaw. and got on very
intimate terms with the youngster
who assisted him in getting a re-
turn trip at reduced rates as far
as New Orleans. The two made
the journey here when young
French got off the train, the man
telling him that he was going to
continue East. Several days al
ter French had returned home
Sheriff Henderson received let
ter from detective to find out
from the boy if he knew the
whereabouts of the man as he was
wife murderer and had escaped
from the Jail at COrsicana. Texas,
and reward Of $500 was offered
for his capture. Deputy Colgin
called on French to gather the in
formation informing French that
had he turned he man over to an
officer he would have secured the
reward, the boy not knowing that
the man was an escaped murderer
sentenced to be hung. Several
days ago the young man quit his
employment with ,Schwing & Car
stems and went to New Orleans
for employment. staying there sew
eral days. On Tuesday evening
when entering one of the nume-
rous picture houses in that City,
the first man he encountered whom
he was acquainted with was the
man wanted and without a mo-
ments hesitation French had the
police arrest the man ard he was
fully idenr flied as the proper per.
son wanted admitting that he had
been with French at Houston. but
disclaiming any connection with
a murder in that State. Shaw
says that he will have no trouble
in proving his innocence but there
is proof that he is the one wanted.
The young gentleman will get the
reward as soon as the matter can
be Strengthened out with the
Texas officials.

concerned with the election OF
competent public officers as is
every stakeholder in any corpora
ton interested in having proper
management of its affairs. 1T is
painful to contemplate that we live
in a day when some there are,
who do not bring to the exercise
of the right of suffrage the con-
sideration which good citizen
ship demands. Selfish interests
|if not more sordid motives, are
made the arbiters.
/ Perhaps there is no officer
whose election is so burdened with
the claims of self-seekers as is
that of the Sheriff. The fact
that he must have several depu-
| ties forces upon him the necessity
of contending with an army OF
claimants for these positions; and

In spite of the fact that state sana-

have been established in 81 states, and

torium. and west of the Mississippi
river, state sanatoria have been es-
tablished in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas. Kansas. Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana
and Oregon. There are 3S sanatoria
provided by these states. Massachu-
setts having four. Connecticut and
Pennsylvania three and Texas two. In
cluding special pavilions and aims

county hospitals for the care of tuber-
culosis patients.
Apart from these institutions, how
