CONVICTION wATERwoRKs.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Although the election for water
works for Covington is right on us
TUESDAY, May 14). very little in
terest seems to be taken in the mat
ter. Can it be that sentiment in
favor Of the project is SO strong
that no one doubts the outcome of
the issue or is It just the lack of
interest that is SO often shown when
the welfare Of Covington is at stake?
In this election the taxpayers of the
town have an opportunity to put Gov
ington in the ranks of prosperity or
to hold her back ten or fifteen years
behind other towns of the same size
and smaller. Values of improved
and unimproved property have de-
creased considerably within the past
several years. Property values, like
all other values, are regulated by
supply and demand. Not so much
by supply, as that romans practical
ly the same, but the demand has
all to do with it. In Covington there
have been so many disastrous fires
land preventable ones) that the in
surance companies are compelled to
charge exhorbitant rates. The rates
on residence property are high
enough, but on business property in
many instances they are positively
|prohibitive. Conservative people
will not invest in property that can
not be insured, therefore the con-
sentative man ic eliminated in the
demand for our business prosperity
No conservative man is going to buy
Tor own property when insurance
rates run from five to ten per cent
which is the situation in the bust
ness sections of Covington.
We need only to recall the con
flagration that visited Covington las1
June, when property to the amount
of $2O0,0O0.00 over and above in
surance carried was destroyed. Will
one good stream of wcter played OF
the fire in. its beginning, the Loss
would have been only a few hundred
dollars. Would it not be penn!
wise and pound foolish" to refus'
to vote this tax when such an in
stance as cited above may be repeat
ed at any time? Are we going t.
continue to allow conditions to re
main such that when the fire alarm
sounds, our hearts jump into gu
threats, for we know VIC have moth
ing to fight the fire with; or are W,
going to put in waterworks and hav'
the secure feeling that unless the fir
has already gained Roadway, it vii
be quenched? The cost of one fir,
like the one we had last June will
buy and pay for, four times over
the kind of waterworks system W,
arc asking for.
A great many offer the objection
that it may be another case of tn
public school house, that the none.
will not be judiciously spent. T.
avoid this possibility, the town coun
Gil has decided to join with the Com
mercial League in naming 4 com
mission composed entirely Of bust
ness men, which commission will
not be changed with the change 0
administrations and whose duty will
be to see to the placing of the con
tracts and the proper contstructio,
of the plant, etc. Surely it canno
be said that Covington cannot fin.
five business mon who can be en-
trusted to sec that every dollor i
well spent and to guarantee the com
pletion of the plant within a reason
able time.

ROBERTS-STARNEs.

A marriage of much interest took
place on Saturday evening, May 4,
1912. at 8 O'Clock, at the Baptist
parsonage at Independence. Mr.. L.
Roberts of Covington, was married
to Mrs. Olevia Starns of Lafayette,
Rev. Charles Kimber officiating.
The bride was beautifully gowned in
old rose silk with trimmings of cream
tinted lace, which suited her, she
being an attractive blonde Their
attendants were Mr.. w. Robertson of
Covington, and Miss Eta Williams
of Montpelier. The bride and groom
expect to leave for their future home
in Covington next Saturday.

Sunday school teachers need not
be afraid, nor ashamed, to- use the
Suggestive Questions on the Sunday
school lesson, which we publish each
week and the same remark applies
to pastors. These questions do not
attempt to do peoples thinking for
them. They simply suggest thought
and compel the reader, or student, to
do his own thinking. The sugges-
tive method of teaching is much more
effectual than the didactic method.
1t is also fascinatingly interesting.
Just try these questions for yourself.

FAIL TO ELECT
A GOVERNOR
Full Returns In Vermont Do
Not Change Result
LEGISLATURE MUST CHOOSE

Control Of the Legislature insures the
Seating OF the Entire Republican
State Ticket
Full returns from Tuesdays election
IN Vermont fal TO change the result
Or materially alter the standing Of
the three leading candidates for gov
ernor.
With the legislature Republican by
large majority on joint ballot. the
election Of Allen NJ. Fletcher. Repub.
lican, and the rest OF his ticket is a
foregone conclusion.
With the settlement OF protracted
struggles to elect representatives and
the counting OF the state vote In sew
eral OF the smaller towns, the vote
OF the five candidates for governor
stands:
Fletcher. Republican. 26.259.
Howe. Democrat. 20.350.
Metzger, Progressive. 15,S00.
Smith. Prohibition. 1443.
Suitor, Socialist, 1851.
The chief feature, in view of the
thorough manner in which the state
was covered by rallies in practically
every town. Is the fact that the total
vote was not abnormal. II totals less
than $4,000.
The Progressives are elated at the
showing made by their ticket and the
Democrats assert that II Is proved the
third party did not detract from their
strength II Is the regular Republican
vote that has suffered. and the Demo-
Gratis point with pride to the ineffect-
ual attempt made to get their voters
by the Bull Moose orators.
The Democrats elected their ticket
In Caledonia county, the home OF Har-
Ian d. Howe. the party's nominee for
governor and In the little county OF
Grand Isle the Republican senator ID
reported TO have won out by single
vote. The Democrats increased their
vote of two years ago by about 5000
and by nearly 5000 over that cast for
their nominee in the presidential year
four years ago.
The Free Press of Burlington. a
leading Republican paper. says the les
son for the Republican party in Yer
mont from the election Is that "the
paramount issue in Vermont today is
tax reform In the interests of the pec-
pie. and II the Republican party fails
again to meet the demands of the poo
pie in this particular II will never have
another chance to do so in all human
probability"
II Is the opinion of the politicians
that Vermont cannot longer be held
as the barometer OF the presidential
trend of the nation In the November
elections.
The senate will lack but few votes
OF being solidly Republican, and that
party will have working majority in
the house.
The Progressives have elected about
fifty representatives and the Demo
Gratis a number slightly in excess. This
will leave 140 for the Republicans out
of the total membership of 2i6.

Resolutions Of Respect
ON THE DEATH OF GEORGE C.
TOWNSEND.

WHEREAS: We the members of the
Board of Trustees of the Whatcoat M.
Z. Church, Snow Hill, Nd, have re-
ceived with deep sorrow and sensibility
Of loss, the announcement of the death
of our senior member, brother George
c. Townsend. we desire to give express
sion to our appreciation of his character
and worth.
Resolved, That in brother Townsend g
death this church has lost a valuable
member. and one of its most jealous,
loyal and able supporters; this community.
an intelligent, pure-minded, and honored
citizen; and the cause of humanity and
morality, a staunch friend and vigorous
advocate.
Resoired, That during his long men,
bership of almost three-fourths of a
century. the church always found in
him loyalty to the cause of Christ.
love for the doctrines and history of
Methodism amounting to veneration,
the doing of things with his might
whatever his hands found to do. keen
and unwearied interest in the spiritual
and financial interests of the church, a
reverence for its services. the preached
word. the Sunday School. the Class and
Prayer meetings and the business meet
ings; and during his months of invalid
ism. induced by extreme old age, his
interest in the church's prosperity did
not wane.
Resoired, That we wish ever to re-
member his liberality, which caused the
inception and made possible the erection
of the magnificent temple in which we
have worshiped for nearly twelve years.
Resolrsd. That while we feel most
sensibly the great and irreparable loss
the church has sustained IN his death.
yet we desire to be submissive to the
Divine viii, and to rejoice that his life
was prolonged for nearly century, the
period of great advancement in the his
tory Of our great denomination.
Resolred, That the sincerest sympathy
of this Board be rendered to his family
in their bereavement, and that the Sec
retary be directed to authorize the re-
recording of these resolutions in the
Minutes of the Official Board of the
church, and the record of the Quarterly
Conference, The Democratic Messenger,
and that copy be sent to his family.
