production at the Princess The

the holy things above and his
profound reverence for saints

He has a special knack of dis

The feat requires experience

PERNICIOUs ACTIVITY.

The caption of this editorial
might be regarded as the employ
ment of rather strong term for
the introduction of its subject
matter, yet this Journal feels that
the effect of long drawn out
campaign for political office cal
but have a pernic:ous influence
over the activities of communit!
or Of parish. We accordingly ar,
led to take cognizance Of the fac
that a number Of gentlemen are
already beginning to urge theli
candidates. for municipal Office
to be voted upon in the City 0
New iberia under its new Chartel
in the Spring of next year, and W.
apprehend that if a campaign Il
launched at this time New Iberia
will be the sufferer, because The
energy and the activity which
should be directed to the mater
ial development of New Iberia
will, for this long period Of time.
be in great measure directed te
political propaganda.
We have had a surfeit of poi
tiles for the year 1912. Let us
have peace and quiet for the next
six months. We cannot under
stand why one aspiring to hole
public Office should urge his can
didacy out Of season. To om
mind, it reflects a greater zeal fol-
the holding Of an office than to
serve periodically a community.
We do not wish to be understood
as expressing any hostility to any
candidate or candidates Whose
candidates. are being now mooted ;
but we wish emphatically to cal.
the attention of the citizenship Of
the City of New Iberia to the dan
ger that turks In long drawn oui
campaigns. More than this,
community where politics is al
ways the burden of conversation is
a community that does not appeal
to the homeseeker. The burden
of conversation for the next six
months in the City of New Iberia
should be the development and
progress of New Iberia along
permanent and substantial lines.
We would call upon the citizens
to frown down upon any effort
made to start a campaign at this
time and to suggest to these pros
pective candidates that they dis
play the same zeal for the sub
stantial welfare of New Iberia
that they are now displaying, as
rumor has it, for the obtention OF
municipal Offices. We must have
a rest from politics. Otherwise,
we will be emulating some of the
South American countries where
politics is, year in and year out,
the engrossing theme OF discus
sion, with the consequence that
stagnat;on and want of progress
along all lines, governmental and
material, obtain.
What we have said with ref
,erence to a municipal campaign
we wish to apply to any other
campaign, state, congressional or
district. Let us have peace and
let us turn deaf ear to the solci-
tations Of candidates.
No political campaign should
last more than ninety days, and
for the good Of our City and Par
ish let us make it our slogan that
no long drawn out political cam
paign will be tolerated.

FORGET 1T
Do not nurse your grievance.

Do HOL huF>S your SilSfdHCes
If some one has sighted you or
wounded you let it go at that. Do not
let your complaint of the injury grow
chronic. And above all else. do not
put your Crouch on exhibition.
Hide your sore toe.
Because half the Sights you COM
plain of are Imaginary; half the injuS-
tees for which you suffer self martyr
dom were not intended.
You fed those troubles until they
got ripe.
Some people put themselves into an
attitude of continued suspicion of neg
lect or injury. They find what they
are looking for. whereat they make ev
erybody miserable by continual chew
ing Of the cud of resentment
How treat your grievance?
Forget it.
The more you dwell upon a thing of
that sort the bigger it gets. The long
er you drag it through your mind the
deeper you cut the channel until by
and by it becomes well worn rut.
Get out Of the rut
Force yourself to think of something
else. Make new channels for your
thoughts. Change the subject
. Get busy trying to make others hap
py and thus make yourself happy. You
will then have no time to bother With
your crouch.
That is one way.
Another way which has high sane
ton is to heap Goals of fire upon the
head of the one who has injured you.
Speak some pleasant word or do some
gracious thing to him who has tried to
hurt you, and if he is guilty ana has a
heart in him he will be sorry.
You see
BY this treatment of the other fe-
low you will do this: Instead Of the.
other fellow getting you into his pow
er by making you miserable you will
have evaded his shaft and turned bis
malice back upon himself
In any event forget
Do not permit your mind TO rub a
slight wound into a fostering sore. Life
is too short for such abnormal cul-
lures. Treat the skinned surface with
an antiseptic and let it go.
Forget it.

new CONSTITUTION is
DEMANDED BY RETAILERS
SAY OLD CONSTITUTION HAS
BEEN WORN THREADRARE
SINCE 1885 AND NEEDS MANY
PATCHES PUT ON,

Considering that the present con-
stitution of the state is antiquated,
and that innovations are needed to
keep abreast of the times, a move,
stitutionaI convention, in the near
future, for Florida.
Chief among the workers for this
new constitution are the retail deal
ers, who observe that they have too
many long delays in making collec-
tions by law, and because of the
numerous exemptions allowed in this
State.
Their various organizations have
been working quietly and determin-
edly, and have reached such a point
that they are about ready to give
their full result to the press.
The 'iniquity' chiefly aimed at
by the retailers is the Florida ex-
emption acts. These, they claim, give
more than is allowed by almost any
SehC1 0IeltC, anu GS1 IdIu1y AtGuSI COLu-
monwealths than this have restric-
tions less severe on the possible col
lections of debts which have been
sued for, they say.
Besides the relief wanted for their
special branch of business. they
want a redistricting and a reappor-
tionment of the state for the purpose
of electing legislators; the main
thing urged being representation in
the legislature according to popula-
tion.
Besides this, they claim the old
constitution is threadbare in many
spots from long usage since 1885, and
these frayed places should be cut
out, and new patches inserted.
Their chief constitutional demands
for themselves are:
Better collection laws.
Reduction of present scale of ex-
emptions.
More justices of the peace.
Greater jurisdiction for the lower
courts.
Quicker action in the lower eour 5.
