What Might Happen.

The Oirgonion borrows consider
able trouble over what it seems to
regard as the outlook of present pO-
litical conditions. The two halves of
the Republican party are SO nearly
divided and evenly numbered that
neither faction or the Democratic
nominee may be able to obtain ma
iority of the Electoral vote. Then
when it comes to the lower branch of
Congress, where the vote is by States
the Republicans control just 4S of
the State delegations, and .he OPP
position might also divide on strictly
factional lines, SO again nobody would
be able to secure majority, and a
vacancy in either eff the tied States
Maine and NebraSka-wO would make
an election to fill it of transcendent
Importance, as the choice Of the
Presidency would hang upon tie re-
suit.
This may all be true, but it de-
ponds upon quite too many posi-
bilities and contingencies to be of
much Importance for a forecast. 1t
is quite probable that the aggregate
common sense of nearly II, 600, 900 of
people will sometimes, through the
long train of circumstances, obtain
an ascendancy long enough to call a
halt. A deadlock might ensue, and
the unprecedented situation might
arise of a President holding over
until the new Congress has organ
lied and elected his successor, as the
Oregonion declares to be a probable
ity.

One Of the most popular pastors Of
this city once remarked, to the hor-
ror of one of his parishioners, L be-
lieve that the in6del has his place,
and one should be ever present in
each church., and when an explana-
ton was asked said: to keep the
minister up to his work, or rather to
conserve and regulate his utterances.

The Baltimore Convention seems

fusion and discord, and the very fact
of the prominence of the man whom
politicians usually denOminate the toy
ica1 candidate bryan, whom circum'
stances and conditions favor) had led
to the same distraction here, as what
the prestige of his high Office confers
upon Taft. Here he ran up against
Parker, still smartng from the
s,ings of defeat, who was elected
temporary chairman by a vote thai
indicated the Bryan candidate was
several votes shy of the number
to control the convention. This loss
was, however, afterwards regainee
by the selection of Ollie James in the
permanent organization. Bryan, how
ever, refused to accept the chairman
ship OF the Committee on resolutions
He made it plain that he feared thu
committee had been "packed' OF
him, and another supposition wa:
that it indicated he intends to be ;
free-lanch in the coming campaign
and he proposed to avert the posi-
bility of his being held accountable
for platform making that might no
wholly coincide with his views. Thi.
is supported by his intimation Il
Senator Lee, of Tennessee, that hi
intended to play national and no
ward politics. He was successful il
his effort to adopt the platform aftel
nomination of candidate. and thi.
makes the candidate fit the platform
instead of its being the official com
pilation of his principles.
While the convention has not We
nominated or rejected Bryan as thu
Democratic candidate, the votins
seems to be adverse to his eviden
desire to be named. 1t is also plain
that many members are quite
anxious about his stand. 1t ha!
been announced that Roosevelt ennis
saries have been in recent conclav'
with him, and that the discomfort il
both parties might eliminate in /;
new party organization with Bryan
and Roosevelt for standard bearers.
Strange things as this have hap

The action of the First Presbyter-
ian church in giving afternoon Sun
day concerts, mainly to display the
proficiency of Mr.. Ferringer as Or
ganist, he having announcements on
each programme of his profession as
instructor in music. AS each con-
cert is opened with scriptural read
ing. prayer and benediction, and at
other times the performer leads the
orchestra OF Il dime-show every night
and almost every day of the week,
it does seem as if this was rather an
unusual and incongruous admixture
of religious ane secular pursuits.
1t was announced last Sunday, in
church, that these concerts would be
discontinued till autumn, and if thew
are Reconstructed, the consideration
OF this incongruity is proper and it
is hoped they will be Invested of this
business trend. if the exceptions are
supported by reason. 1t was the
object when the magnificent organ
was installed in the church that it
should not be used for any service
where a price of admission was
charged, but it came very near this
when a contribution was taken to
pay expenses, last Sunday, or would
not contribution privately made
for use OF the instru ment, come I'M
der the same ban? It is not said
that this has been done, but the
church motives should be so pure as
not to excite suspicion of any pos
sible method of beating the devil
around the bush.

The Literary Club.

On Saturday, Jan. 20, 1912, a
club was organized in the in
terest Of literary accomplish
ment. This movement was put
on foot by two high school pupils.
It is to meet at the home of Mr..
Sidney Roos every Saturday
evening about 5 o'clock.
Some people don't appreciate
the value Of these societies. This
Is the first society ever organized
Ia st. Landry Parish by the
young folks alone. My friends,
this goes to prove that the world
Is getting better. This should
be known as an emblem of the
age. It is an historical fact that
in medieval ages the cities and
people fought and opposed cash
other, and as long as this condi-
ton existed nations were not
organized. But finally the peo-
pie began to unite and the cities
began to unite and nations were
formed. 1t is noticed that as
nations were formed societies
were formed. The first thing
that we learn in our little society
is how to listen, next we learn
how to talk, and as we learn
how to listen and how to talk we
learn how to form our own opin-
ions. This in turn teaches us
how to cast an intelligent vote,
thereby making of US types of
good citizens.
In this society the girls are be-
ing unconsciously taught how to
appreciate woman suffrage.
On Saturday, Jan. 70. 1912,
the society met at the coy home
OF Mr.. Sidney Roos for the first
time. The warmth and light,
added to the congeniality Of the
host, made it most inviting. At
3 o'clock p. m. the meeting was
called to order by the temporary
chairman, Mr. Sidney Roos.
The meeting was as follows:
Election of officers:
Miss Eunice Dejean, President:
Mr.. Prentiss Obier, Vice-presi-
dent; Miss Margaret Sanders,
Secretary; Mr.. Willie Moreau,
