r. e. VOORHEES,, vice-president and
general manager; r. H. Broussard,
secretary Board of Trustees: A. D.

A woman standing high in the So
cial circles of her city, crossed OF
the names Of two young men from
her invitation list, writes the editor
of the Ladies' Home Journal. The
action was bound to be noticed, and
1t was. So several friends went to
her and pleaded for the young men,
"Of course it is unfortunate" they
argued. that these young men are
not just what they should be, but you
are very likely now to drive them
further toward ruin by your action in
SO publicly calling attention to their
habits by excluding them from your
social affairs" The social leader
listened. NO." she said firmly, you
are wrong. We have all been wrong
in opening the doors of our houses
to them. / warned both Of them that
l would do this if they did not mend
their ways, and while they listened
respectfully, they went right on. For
the sake of my own two daughters,
and the daughters of other mothers
who come to my house, my doors are
closed to them" The wOman's stand
had the effect of helping more timid
and wavering mothers, and before
the season was over practically every
door was closed to the young men.
What society in all our cities needs
is woman of this sort. who viii en-
force a strict quarantine in regard to
moral infection, and who will help
her more timid sisters to follow suit.
The day when young men can behave
as they choose, and still find decent
homes open to them is passing. and
the sooner they are made to realize
It, II they cannot see It for them
selves. the better.-Eve In Timess

RESOLUTIONS OR RESPECT.
Adopted by the Court in Memory Of
Attorney e. G. Voorhies.

The following resolutions were
adopted in court last week in men,
ory of Atty. Ed. G.. Voorhies, after
which court adjourned for the day
out of respect:
May It Please the Court:
Once again the silver cord is
loosed," and we come with bowed
heads to pay tribute to the memory
of one who has joined the silent ma
jority.
1t is a true saying that the Great
Reaper is no respecter of persons,
and knocks with equal hand at the
door of the cottage and the palace
gate, yet how often it seems are we
impressed with the thought, that
death loves shining mark
In the death of Edward G. Voor-
hies, which took place at his home
in this town on the 10th inst, we
feel that the relations of the deceas-
ed to this Court for many years, as
lawyer and officer-were such that
we can well afford to give express
sion to the high esteem in which he
was held and to inscribe the same
upon the records of this Court.
Deceased was a son of Judge Fe-
liX VOOrhies and a grandson of the
late Judge Cornelius Voorhies, of
the Supreme Court of this State, and
was native of st. Martin Parish, but
having married in early manhood, a
daughter of Major J. Sosthene Mou-
ton of this parish, he came here to
live, and to practice his chosen pro-
fession, that of the law. He practic-
ed his profession before this Court
many years, and was noted for de-
votion to the interests of his clients,
ability and integrity. Later he was
elected by the people Clerk of Court
and here again was shown that ex-
alted conception of duty which is the
indecia Of high character. He was
patient, painstaking, thorough, at all
times courteous, with the true in
stincts of a gentleman.
AS a citizen he lived worthily and
honorably. and let it be said that he
was not drone in the hive: when
ever and wherever it we're possible
to promote the interests of the COM
munity in industrial efforts, he show
ed energy. industry and a sincere de-
sire to improve and build up In this
respect he gave a very worthy exam
ple-one in fact showing the hall
marks of excellent citizenship.
