the house was set on fire as there

ON THE SIDE OF DEcENcY.

An optimistic young friend of ours
believes that good people largely out
number the bad, Or if not good them
selves they honor, respect and desire
goodness, and consequently when an
appeal is made to them in the name
df what is good they respond with
cordially. Experience shows that
our young friends favorable opinion
of mankind is not unfounded. At any
rate, the editorial in last issue, Cup
to the Citizens has had hearty
response from some of our best cit
liens, male and female.
Early Saturday morning, lady
rang up this office, saying: Il am
very busy but / cannot refrain from
congratulating you on your editorial"
Many others said the same thing. La
ter in the day, F.. E. Farr, station
agent of the L. r. & N. at this place.
| sent us a copy of a letter he had
written to Mr. J. J. Tippin, auditor
of the road, accompanying clipping
of the editorial in question, and say
ing that there is not the least exag-
geration i'm our report OF the
;nd.cant conditions existing with.
in speaking distance of the station
Mr.. Farr further described In great
err detail disgraceful scenes that have
been enacted in plain sight OF the
depot, lady passengers being includ-
ed among the unwilling lookers-on.
Mr.. Farr recognizes that this is
bound TO injure travel over his road,
and in this letter he called upon Au-
ditor Tippin to have "the proper au'
Ithorities take the matter up with
either Mayor George Baier or CITY
Marshal, Nose Van Tromp, and force
them to protect Our interests, haV-
ing them, if possible, remove these
| dives to restricted districts.
This action of Mr.. Fairs lis well Ia
ken in every respect and there is
little doubt, that the railroad compa'
nv will not fail to take cognizance
of the matter, as they do not sleep
ON their rights and interests, If 9TH
er people, do. On the other HAND
the citizens should not leave it to a
foreign corporation to take action an
= matter of common concern and in
' terest, but one in which, they are
4 under strong moral obligation to
protect the interests Of travel by ulfS
e road, having implied that protection

the town.

gested before. Nothing practical Cal

Hon.. A. Villeret, one of the most
prominent and beloved men of the Fe
licianas, diCd, Tuesday night, in his
room at the Burton Hotel, Bayou Sa-
"a, aged AZ years.
Mr.. E;lIeret had been far from well
for several months and the verdict
of skilled specialists was to the eff
feet that death was but a matter of
a few mCnGhS at best, yet his pass
ing away came as a shock to all
who knew him. More than once dur
ing the past few weeks he had been
near deaths door, but after d few
days his strong constitution assert
ed itself, and at times he was ap-
parently as we'll as ever. He seem
ed to be improving from his latest
atteck when all at once he was
stricken by an attack of the heart,
and death came quickly to relieve
his sufferings.
Mr.. Villeret WIS a native OF Polnte
Coupe2 parish, but when mere boy,
he m0vcd to Bayou Sara. BY hard
work and application he secured a
meagre education and q start in the
business world. He rose from clerk
in a drug store to proprietor, and at
forwards became president Of the
State Pharmaceutical Society. II
1898 he formed partnership witt
| V. F, Allan and conducted a dru&
store at Bayou Sara. Mr.. Allan with
drew from the firm in 1906, ant
Mr.. Villeret had since conducted
the business in his own name. Hf
served as postmaster Of Bayou Sari
for several years, but resigned tha
position in 1900 upon being electet
clerk of the court Of West Feliciani
narisb. He was twice reelected t
that position without opposition.
! Having always taken a keen inter
est in politics, Mo. Villerets ambl
tion soon took him into a wider fiel'
than parish affairs, and he made nj
debut as a statewide politician ln19o
when he successfully managed ROD
IC, Wickliffe's candidacy for Congress
| Over a year ago, Mr.. Villeret al
nounced himself as a candidate 10
secretary CT State and made a VIZ
orors campaign throughout the sta1
FOR that office. Possibly the marc
sbins he endured during the can
n,igm together with the disappon'
mont of defeat served to hasten tn
end, It certainly added a heaVle
touch of tragedy to the prematuf
closing OF his HE

of 81 to o. Coach Richards Of Ohio State
withdrew his men from the field because
of alleged rough playing, and officials
awarded Pennsylvania State the game by
a score of to O.
Frequently during the game the Ohio
coach objected to the unnecessarily
rough playing Of the visitors When one
OF his men was tackled hard Richards be-
came angry and called the Ohio State
team from the field and refused 10 allow
the men to continue playing.
Pennsylvania State played fast football
and outplayed Ohio state IN every point
Of the game, excepting along the line.

Eastern team had to make most OF its
gains around the ends. The few gains
that the local team did make were
through Pennsylvania's line.
