What Swanzy Says.
~ do not know just what the feel
ing Is toward Russians,p said j.. M.
swanzy, president OF the II. $. p. A.,
yesterday, "The Davies company has
no interest on Kauai, and only one
plantation on Maui which has no Rus
SLAMS. On Hawaii we have Russians,
but very few. At the Waiakea Mill
for instance we had nine, but three
left. and there are not many more on
the other plantations.
"I did not know that there had been
much trouble on the plantations with
the Russians. did not know that II

such things and knows better what II

Washington, d. c., April Il
Speaker Clark's candidacy for
the Democratic Presidential nom
ination continues to gather
strength. His list of delegates
Instructed or favorable has grown
in the last week from &c to rs.
Alaska and the Philippines added
II delegates to the n u m b er
already instructed. The Speak
er's friends are now so confident
of his nomination that they be-
heve he may be chosen on the
first ballot.
The next two weeks promise to
add materially to the number of
Clark delegates. Former Sena-
tor Fred Dubois, who is in charge
Of the Clark campaign believes
that Illinois, the next state to
act, will give Speaker Clark d
majority of so, 900 in the pri-
maries, and he would not be
surprised if it reaches Zoe, 900.
The most striking feature of
the Clark candidacy is the IN
ereasing strength of the Speaker
among members of Congress,
Members of the House and Sen
ate are f1ocking to his standard,
and it is significant that a ma
jority of the Democratic dele
cations in all of the pivotal states
look upon the speaker as the
man who, of all the candidates,
would be the strongest to lead
the party in the election cam
paign. The great State of New
York will be for Clark s nomina-
tion. This is almost d certainty.

News From LeWisburg.


LeWisburg, April 10. The
boys have organized a base ball
club here with Jos. A. Deiean,
Captain and Field Manager and
Chas. Bourque, Jr., Secretary
and Treasurer. Under the man
agement of Mr. Dejean, the team
is showing up fine in practice,
despite the fact that they have
been out of practice a long time.
The assertion of all who have
seen them at work on the dia-
mond is that they will be a hard
lot to handle.
Owing to the unfayorabIe
weather this spring the farmers
in this neck-o-the-woods are far
behind with the planting COM
pared with former years. But
still it is predicted by old timers
who are supposed TO know, "
that 1912 will be one of the best
years for farming purposes that
we've had in a long time.

WANTS WHISKEY MONEY
USED FOR THE SCHOOLS
Mr.. Thompson Wants to Counterfeit Debauchjng
Traffic With the Uplifting
Use of Money
/ Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
It is customary, under tht
Strengthened conditions Of the
school finances, about this time
of the year for the school officials
to get busy and make the neces.
sary efforts TO raise sufficient
funds to conduct the schools the
length of term required for the
accomplishment Of the work pre-
scribed in the State Course of
Study by the Department of Ed
ucation.
How to raise this money is
each year a vexed question, as
we are compelled to rely more or
less on the generosity of the pub
lie for the contribution of the
necessary funds.
There are two sources to which
we have formerly made appIica-
tion for help, viz: the munich
palities in which the better class
of schools are generally located,
and to the individual contriba-
tions Of the people who are the
patrons and beneficiaries of the
rural schools.
In the past we have met with
some measure of success in MAX
ing our appeal to the classes in
dicated, but these methods have
not always been successful, and
are a source, too often, of morti-
fcation and humiliation to the
parties who have been forced to-
resort to them simply as a labor
of love, having as its object sole
ly the promotion of the welfare
of the community and the bene-
fit of the child. We are too often
met with rebuff and failure,
when the benefit is to be derived
by someone else than the party
seeking the concession which the
community is to make.
To my mind there is but one.
way to provide against the evil
in a permanent way, and that is
through the levy of a small tax
throughout the parish. for the
purpose of supplementing the.
general school funds to such an
extent as will meet the deficiency
required to operate the schools
for the time necessary to COM
plete the course as laid down for
the work of each session.
All the Incorporated towns and
villages in the parish are now de-
irving a revenue from the sale of
liquor, and the parish itself is i
also getting a nice little revenue
from that source. The law
which authorizes the collection of
this license dedicates the expen-
diture of these funds to specific
and among the pur-
poses enumerated for which this
money shall be spent mentions
public schools, but the bodies en-
5rusted with the expenditure of
his money seemed to have over

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO
CLOSE ENDING SEV-
ENTH MONTHS
TERM.

The public schools of ST. Lam
dry parish will close on Friday,
April 19, ending a term Of seven
months.
The high schools will continne
until June, making a nine
months term.
The closing Of the lower grade
schools is made necessary by the
insufficiency Of funds.
The increasing of salaries, and
the establishing Of new schools.
have proved incompatible with
the revenue of fifty-four thou
sand dollars, the entire amount
received by the School Board
from all sources.
It is bruited about the streets
that an effort will be made to
have the City Of Opelousas ap-
propriate an amount sufficient TO
maintain the lower grades of the
ST. Landry High School for the
full term. The city, however,
is in financial distress, and it is
not likely that it can come to the
relief Of this worthy cause.
The payroll Of the teachers of
the parish is now seven thousand
dollars month.
The closing Of the schools at
the end of seven months, while
not rejecting in the least upon
the School Board, composed as it
is Demonstrations and painstaking
gentlemen. is disappointing to
the community, and particularly
so to parents who have children
going to school.
This rather abrupt dietum de-
daring that the public schools
of the parish will have to close
on Friday, April 18th, was ar
rived at BIZ the meeting of the
finance committte Of the School
Board, held Wednesday last.
Superintendent Thompson is
now notifying teachers through
out the parish.
The School Board will meet
next Monday and officially ratify
the action of the finance commit
tee.

looked the fact that they are EN-
powered to make Especial appro-
priation from this fund for school
purposes, or they are unmindful
of the benefits to be derived from
the paying out of public money,
dedicated by law for that pur-
pose, for the education of the
children, the uplifting of human
itY, the development of charac-
ter and the creation of a better
citizenship. Now inasmuch as
the law authorizes a traffic caleu-
lated to debauch the manhood Of
the country, / think it fair and
reasonable that all bodies en-
trusted with the expenditure of
money derived from the liquor
license, should set apart for the
benefit of the schools a goodly
share Of that fund in order that
the effects Of this baneful traffic
may in some wise be counter
acted by the wholesome culture
and moral uplift which the
schools are constantly exerting
in their efforts to train for bet
ter citizenship and a more per-
feet manhood and womanhood.
Formerly, when the license was
three thousand dollars per an
mum, the Police Jury did not get
a cent from the Whiskey license,
yet it managed to operate the
affairs of the parish without this
money, and | think it ought to do
SO again, and give to the schools
all the money derived from that
source. At the period referred
to, some Of our smaller towns
made use of this money to build
school houses, which was COM
mendable in them, but now that
the houses are built and good
schools are being operated in
these communities, I think that
they also should set apart a suf-
fcient amount Of this money as
a supplement to the general fund
to enable the schools located in
their midst to be operated for a
nine months session. If the Po-
lice Jury and the various munici-
palities in the parish can be in
duced to use the license result
ing from the liquor traffic in the
way / have indicated, I think
that the length of term of our
schools will be pretty well solved,
and the rural communities as
well as the towns will be placed
on a parity with reference to the
length of the session Of the pub
lie schools in their respective
territories. Let us hear from
someone else on this question.
Yours truly,
C. J. THOMPSON.

union BANK and TRUST
COMP ANY MADE STATE
DEPOSITORY.
Opelousas Bank Selected By
State Board of Liquida-
tion.

The Union Bank and Trust
Company of Opelousas was
selected as one Of the State de-
positories at the meeting Of the
Board of Liquidation held last
Thursday in Baton Rouge.
This is quite an honor, and
much helpful to the interests of
the bank. The honor is accen-
tuated by the fact that the Union
Bank and Trust Company is yet,
you may say, in it's infancy, be-
ing the youngest bank in Opel
ousas. But the fact that It is
young has in no manner affected
its stalwartness, or deprived it
of the confidence of the people.
A bank is selected in every
Congressional District, to act as
depository for State funds. The
Calcasieu National Bank was the
