THE CANAL TAX.

Mayor Power and Councilman
Southwell were busy this week
procuring signatures to petitions
to be submitted, asking the Coun
ell to call an election for a one
and one-half mill tax for ten years
to be used for the completion Oh
the New Iberia Canal to the Bay
as was originally intended. With
but few exceptions it is the unan.
imous opinion that a tax for this
purpose will be carried by the tax
Mayors, the general sentiment be-
ing SO strong for the completion Of
the canal SO as to make it abso-
lutely navigable at all season of
the year. An Improvement Of this
kind is well worth the outlay and
the City Fathers are to be COM
mended in their efforts to COM
plete the canal before the boat is
Withdrawn from the canal to other
parts Of the country.
Following is copy Of the petit
tion as circulated:

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT.

After weighing carefully anc

torial honors, The Enterprise take.
pleasure in announcing to it!
readers that Hon. Robert F. Brous
sard, the present Congressman o.
the Third Congressional District
and Iberia s favorite son is its I'M
qualified choice for the 1915 tern
in the greatest body of lawmaker.
OF the world, the United State!
Senate.
Since Mr.. Broussard's return
from Washington he has received
such strong support from even ur
expected sources that he deemed
it his duty to enter the contest a:
a successor to Senator Thornton a.
an Independent candidate.
Robt. Broussard has represent
ed the Third District in the Halls
Of Congress for upwards of four
teen consecutive years and q more
able and fearless champion fol
what he thought the interest oil
the mass Of his constituents could
not have been found. In this
campaign he will be opposed by
the present Governor. J. Y. San.
ders of st. Mary, our choice, were
Iberia s candidate not in the field
and Hon. Arsene Pujo, at present
representing the Sixth District.
In MIR. Broussard, whom we feel
is the equal of either of his op.
ponents for these honors, and as
an lberian, proud of the achieve.
ments Of one Of her sons, we feel
compelled, as it were, to lend
our little influence to one of our
own, irrespective Of all past politi-
cal differences that has here
tofore existed, due to local condi-
tons among those trying to ride
into Office under such pressure.
In this instance we trust all loyal
Iberians will rally to his cause in
the next primary and lay aside
all fractional differences that has
to q great extent done much to re-
tard the progress, welfare and
peace of our Parish. Let all unite
and cry down all attempts to
again arouse these fractional diff
ferences by insisting that local
aspirants for Parochial offices
stand on their own merit and it
will rebound hundred fold for
the betterment Of the entire pop
ulace and Iberia Parish will soon
regain what she has suffered
through past political turmoil.
The Picayune Of June 7th, one
Of the conservative journals Of
the State speaks thus with ref
erence to Mr.. Broussard's can
didacy, q true acknowledgment
that the contest will be . close one
with Bob's chances much in the
ascendency.
Mr.. Broussard is personally
one of the most popular public
men in the State, and his long ex-
perience in Congress, coupled with
his ability and his devotion to the
great interests of Louisiana, all
to make his success al
most certain. With several candi-
dates contending for the same seat
in the Senate the campaign is 60
ing to be q hot one. !"

SUMMER RESORT and CTY are Ink TOGETHER BY TELEPHONE

Telephone service, linking together city and country and shore.
is never more appreciated than during the summer months.
While the business man is confined to his desk in the city, the
telephone keeps him in touch with wife and family, though they
may be many miles away, summering atsome pleasant resort.
During his own vacation the business man relies upon the tele-
phone. He is free from care, for he knows that he can be reached
at one by telphone should important matters require his attention.
At fe vacation home also, the telephone proves SO convenient
in arranging games and outings with friends and ordering sup
plies from the distant markets.
By the way, have you a telephone?

DR.. ]. c. Egan, Ex-President
OF the Louisiana State Medical
Society, Ex-President Of the
Shreveport Board of Health, and
the Nestor of ath medical pro-
~fession of Louisiana, died at his
home in Mt. Lebanon, Dec. 10th,
1911, at tina ripe old age of 80
years, and was laid to rest on
the 18th.
: He leaves tthree daughters:
Mrs. DR.. G. A. Irion, wife of the
ex-President of the Board of
Health under Blanchard, Miss
Lavina Egan, the talented writer
of Shreveport and Mrs. A. J.
Colbert of Mt. Lebanon.
DR.. Egan was in active prac-
tice in Shreveport up to two
years ago, when he retired to
Mt. Lebanon, his early home.
DR.. Egan, though a Virginian,
had a large family connection in
North Louisiana. Born in Meek
lenberg County, Va, the family
removed to Henry County,
where the doctor attended the
famous Patrick Henry Academy.
In I847 he graduated in medicine
at the University Of New York,
he commenced the practice of
his profession at Callands in
Pennsylvania County, Va, re-
moved to MI. Lebanon, La, in
1850, where he was in active
practice when the war broke out;
filled with the enthusiasm of the
Virginia Southerner he helped
organize the 9th La, of which
Gen. Dick. Taylor was Colonel,
and became surgeon of the regi-
ment with the rank of major;
serving with Ewell's division in
the Shenandoah Valley, under
StoneWall Jackson, serving at
one time as division surgeon;
later he became head Of the Med
ical Staff, under Gen. ic k.
Taylor, with headquarters in
Louisiana. Later he followed
Taylor East and served under
Buckner, until ill health towards
the close of the war in 1861,
compelled him to reluctantly re-
tire, when he returned to Mt.
Lebanon to practice and to fol
low agricultural pursuits.
He was a member OF the
7 o~oielat7ra in 1853. that was
ousted by federal bayonets, and
bore his part nobly in the recon-
struction fights for White Su-
premacy in North La. In 1876
he removed to Shreveport, and
in 1896 he was elected Health
officer of Shreveport and Vice
President Of the State Board of
Health.
In the death of this distin-
guished and venerable physician
Louisiana loses an able medico,
a good citizen, a patriot, a good
father, a devoted friend; a sterl-
ing Democrat who rang true IN
the times that tried mems souls,
an exemplary and pious Chris
tian-more could not be said Of
any man. He had reached an
age vouchsafed to few and in
leaving this mundane sphere to
take that long journey whence
no traveller has yet returned, let
us believe that in the divine dis
pensation, it is for the better
that:
