THE TREND OF THOUGHT
IN THE AUDUBON HIGH SCHOOL

law and began to make his way up by
his talents alone. 1t was about this
time that he wrote, Il have taken all
knowledge for my province. " He
Attorney General and finally Lord
High Chancellor.
During all his life Bacon loved place
and power and that formed the goal he
was aiming at He used all sorts of
methods to get influential friends and
high positions and some of them were
not good. One of his dearest friends,
who had done very great deal for him,
Bacon prosecuted on government
charge of bribery which really was due
more to Bacon's fault than his friends.
Bacon however said he was moved by
the highest sense of duty and justice.
While he was Lord High Chancellor he,
too, was charged with accepting brides
and he was forced to admit his guilt.
He was sentenced to pay heavy fine
and be imprisoned at the kings pleasure
and, of course, his position and reputa-
ton were gone forever. The king
lightened his fine and did not imprison
him but Bacon was broken man.
But instead of moping and railing at
his enemies the rest of his. life Bacon
gave up these last years to writing the
works that have placed his name next
to Shakespeare's.
His greatest books were scientific, his
"Novum Arganum" and Advancement
of Learning showing him to be the
forerunner of modern scientists. He
believed inductive reasoning, that is,
taking facts and drawing general con-
illusions from them rather than in the
methods his predecessors used. All his
conclusions were based on experiment
Bacon put his greatest book into Latin
because he thought that English was q
language that would not stand, and he
even had his Advancement of Learn
ing" translated into Latin.
But Bacon wrote one book that every
one may read, his Essays" He
treated all sorts of topics, such as Love,
Honor, Truth, etc. His essays were
not long-drawn out treatises. He took
the original meaning of essay, a weigh
ing or testing and the essays are only
brief jottings of his reflections on the
various subjects. His sentences are
concise and many are so formed that
they are almost proverbs. They were
written at different times during his
later life. One sees him turning from
the intricacies and questionable practices
of his political life to write out the
lovely little essay, "Of Gardens. :"
When they were first published the
volume held only ten papers but there
were about fifty when the book was
finished.
It is hard to reconcile the high
thoughts expressed in the essays and
the splendid mind that appears in his
scientific works with the actual manner
in which Bacon's life was lived. Some
people explain this strange fact by say
ing that his tremendous intellectually
dwarfed all the human impulses in the
man. However that is, Bacon left to
future generations wonderful knowledge
and a wonderful lesson.

BOONE GOES TO COURT
in HIS CONTEST FOR
Mccoy SEAT.
Interesting Squabble Over Con.
stabIeship of the 18th
Justice Ward.

The Parish Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of st. Landry, in
special session last Saturday,
decided to submit to a second
primary the constableship OF
The MalIet ward, now being con-
tested for by Messrs. Allen Nc
Coy and I. B. Boone.
Mccoy was returned elected
by a majority Of three votes, and
Boone, his opponent, contested
on the grounds that four votes
had been cast for Mccoy by nom
residents of the ward.
The hearing before the com
mittee Saturday brought out the
fact that a survey made by Par
ish Surveyor Hollier established
the ward line as excluding the
challenged parties from the NAL
let ward, but oral testimony of
old residents there, and of the
Justice-of-the-P Peace and Con-
stable Of that ward went to show
that the section in which the
challenged parties lived had been
recognized as belonging to the
Mallet ward. Suits against par
ties living there had been cast in
the Mallet ward. Mr.. Mccoy
alleged that twelve men living in
the Southern portion of what
was supposed to be the Mallet
ward, but which in fact is not,
had voted for Mr.. Boone.
BY a vote of seven to seven, a
motion made by DR.. j. j. Stage
to declare Mccoy the nominee
was lost, but a subsequent mo-
ton, also made by DIR. Stage,
that the two contestants run the
race over in the primary to be
held on Feb. ~, carried by a
vote Of eight to six. Mr.. Henry
Lastrapes, Jr., clerk of court
elect, who had voted against the
seating of Mccoy, voting in favor
Of submitting the matter to the
people.
The Boone people have re-
fused to 60 intoa second primary,
and have inioined the Parish
Democratic Executive Commit
tee and the Commissioners of
Election from holding the pri-
mary.
Mccoy is willing to enter a
second race, but says he will win
before the courts by proving that
illegal votes were cast for
Boone.
Messrs. Gilbert L. Dupre and
S. Haas represent Mr.. Nc
Coy and Mr.. A. G. Garland Mr..

This picture is said to be the great
est ever produced by a film making
concern, and three years Of hard
work we're required to complete it.
The total cost Of the three films Of
1 900 feet each was $50. 900. and
there are are $50 people in the cast.
The first reel shows some of the
dramatic events incident to the prep
aration for the voyage. Columbus
pleads with Queen Isabella. of Spain,
to help him attain his desire, and
she finally pawns her jewels in order
to fit out the expedition. The sec
ond reel shows the Nina, the Pinta
and the Santa Maria on the broad
bosom of the ocean, bound for
world whose existence was a matter
of conjecture. Intensely dramatic
scenes are those which show the mu.
tiny on shipboard. the landing on
the shores of the New World, and
the feast at Barcelona, which cele-
brated the home coming Of the in
trepid navigator. The third reel
shows more of The festivities at the
S)auish court, the 'ionization" Of
Columbus, the egg incident, which
has become famous historically, and
finally the growing jealousy and in
trigue of the supposed friends of
Columbus. He returns to the New
World. makes further explorations,
and is greeted with chains at the
end of his return voyage.
