A Division of Calcasieu Parish

Coushatta Citizen: A convention
has been called to meet in Lake
Charles in a few days to consider
the question of dividing the parish.
The convention will be composed of
liz delegates from the various
wards and will try to decide how
many parishes are to be carved out
Of Calcasieu. 1t is almost eersaln
That the parish, which is too large
for orderly administration of jus
tie, will be divided and citizens of
The parish generally recognize that
e., sion is bound to come. The
main question seems to be how
many parishes will be formed.

checked or controlled when it
sweeps onward to the gulf regard
less of impediments, and breaking
through the levees must be left for
solution by the engineers OF the
government, but whatever be the
plan which may be provided for the
solution of the problem will not fail
to include the refOrestatiOn of the
headwaters and the millions of
acres denuded of forests and now
barren waste from which the rains
of winter sweep unchecked into the
rivers.
The refOrestatiOn of these great
wastes, as checks to floods, have as
advocates a number Of the fair sex
of Shreveport, who as prime NOV
ers in this project have spread the
Influence of their organization to
the recognition of women of prom
inence in other States of the Union,
and these, working to this end, have
been the medium of Installing the
serious consideration of men, lead
ers in the affairs of the Nation and
of the States to the Importance of
reforestatiOn.
At this time it is impossible to
speculate on the pecuniary loss in
volved in the flood of the Missis-
SinDi Indeed. This flood of the Mis-
sissippi beginning from the devas-
tation experienced from the Ohio
and other tributaries, is a national
calamity, and the end is not yet;
therefore since the States along the
Mississippi can not provide the ne
cessary means of protection, it must
devolve on the national government
to assume charge Of all the levees,
their full control and their full
maintenance.

At the session of the Louisiana
State Medical Society held in New

decided to ask the Legislature to
abolish the license tax on physi-

The law providing this tax should
be repealed.
Resolutions were adopted indoors

raising of the fees for examining

Governor Halls Inauguration To Be
d Brilliant Event.

Monroe Independent: The cere-
monies attending the Inauguration
of Judge Luther E. Hall as Governor
OF Louisiana will be of conspicuous
brilliance and of widespread inter-
est. The occasion marks an epoch in
the affairs of this great State-an
epoch in which the people have
come into their own when the man
of their choice is lifted by them into
the chief executives chair, and they
feel that they are conquerors. There
is buoyancy in the atmosphere al
ready; the future looks brighter;
the spirits fthe people respond to
a subtle, all-pervading sensation of
joy and of freedom; old unrest is
giving away, and as the day draws
near, even a renewed business &C
tivity will be manifest.
The personnel of the crowds that
will assemble at the capital for the
Inauguration will be widely differ
ent from the usual; it will number
many unacquainted with politics in
any form, fresh-faced, clear-eyed,
supplemented folk that come from
the rank and file of the people-not
to seek favor, but to do honor to
man whom they followed with such
loyalty; in whom they believe SO
absolutely and look to so conf
IDENTIFY.
In spite of Governor Sanders re-
fusal to order out the military
forces as is customary, to take part
in the ceremonies at the Inaugural
ton, it will be one of the most bril-
liant occasions yet chronicled.
Monroe will send a large and rep
resentatiye delegation to Baton
Rouge on the Goth of May.

"WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST

The civilized world has been ad-
yised by telegraph that the firemen
and oilers of the steamship Olympic
have refused to ship for the reason,
as they have declared, that they
doubted the seaworthiness of the
lifebOats.
Possibly this action may be viewed
by ship owners and by ship masters
as being the extreme of caution, but
profiting from the experience OF the
Titanic disaster, these firemen and
these oilers and every man OF the
crew have the right, or should have,
to insist OH sufficient number OF
lifeboats and life-s saving devices be-
ing at hand to assure them some de-
gree of safety in time of peril.
In this caution, which may seem
exaggerated to landsmen unfamiliar
with the great risks at sea, these
firemen and these oilers and the
crew are actuated and moved by the
dictates of prudence in which is in
volved, indirectly if not directly, the
lives which are dear to them, the
women and children at home, which
should be and are first in the heart
of every true man.
In this upholding of the principle
of women and children first the
crew which have declined to go to
sea on the Olympic until all the
necessary equipments as safeguards
are provided, should be commended
instead of being condemned.
The time has come when the lives
of human beings will be of greater
import than the speeding against
records and when the proper safe
guards must outweigh the luxurious
appointments and the other attract
i've features of the ship.
AS rule with very rare excep-
lions, the sailor, as the soldier,
yields ready obedience to orders and
never quails in facing an emergency
in which his life may be sacrificed,
but soldier or sailor should not
be subjected to unnecessary risk
when the proper safeguards can be
and should be provided, in this in
stance, by the owners of the Olym-
pic.
1t is conceded that if the Titanic
had been manned with sufficient
complement of life-saving devices,
the melancholy record of its sinking
with over fifteen hundred victims,
would not have been chronicled, and
therefore this carelessness, which is
equivalent to recklessness, should
not be permitted on any ship, steam
or sail, plying over the sea.
If it be sublime for men to stand
aside to save women and children
first" it is no less heroic for eamen
of every rank and class to insist on
some reasonable degree of protee-
ton which, when in peril, will af-
ford some safeguard that will min
imiae the possibility of the wives
and children being made widows and
orphans.
When the seaman shall persist
and insist on having all the essen
tials for life-saving on ships, before
leaving port, the passengers will
then have the greatest assurance for
their lives
Let the principle of women and
children first be enforced on land
as well as at sea. and the horrors of
ocean disasters will not be repeated
consecutively as in recent years.
