The Police Jury and Good Roads.

The Police Jury and Good Roads.
The meeting of the police jury
this week attracted a good deal
of attention, especially among
the citizens of Verda, who had a
good big delegation present for
the purpose of making a formal
protest against the contract be-
ing let by the State department
for the building of the first Sec
ton of the road from Colfax to
Montgomery, whereas it was spe-
officially agreed several months
ago that the first section to be
built would be from Colfax to
Verda, by way of a point at or
near Aloha.
The change seems to have been
made by the State department
through some error or misunder-
standing, and we hope they will
yet devise some way to afford
our Verda friends a satisfactory
arrangement before the compile
ton of the system of roads con-
templated are finished.
The complete proceedings of
the police jury will be found in
another column. Having been
called together for the special
purpose of authorizing the presi-
dent to make the necessary ar
rangements to finance the con.
tract for the road proposition al.
ready let out, the body did moi
think it competent for them tt
take any other action. They
met in informal session, how
ever, and gave the Verda citi
zens hearing without taking
any action. The members al
most unanimously expressed
their desire and intention to d.
their very best toward building
up the roads of the parish.
Mr.. LaCroix, former parish
treasurer, in answer to an inquir!
as to the money to be realized
from the special tax, stated tina
there would be enough money +
build all the roads now contract
ed for, with a margin of severa
thousand dollars to apply on tn
road contended for by the VERDI

montgomery, Id, July oVy AoAS'
Editor Co[fa1 Chronicle:
Will you kindly publish the fol-
lowing letter?
Much has been said in the
press of late as to candidates
carrying out their campaign
pledges. / feel that when aman
runs for an office that he should
make himself clear as to his po-
sition on all public questions, and,
if he is elected, that he should
carry out the policies he stood
for during the campaign; and II
he does not he betrays his trust.
There are two ways by which a
candidate can deceive the people
he represents. One way is by
not doing what he specifically
promises to do, and the other
way is by doing something he
did not promise to do. A man
may run for Office and carry out
all of his campaign pledges and
keep something hidden from the
people that he intends to Go WIN
elected, and do more harm by
carrying out and fulfilling every
promise he made and then adj
ding to his legislation something
he didn't promise to do, than by
| failing to carry out any promise
he made during his campaign.
/ For example, take the case Of
T. O. Hart, our present repre-
sentative, Mr.. Hart has carried
all of the promises he made DUR
ing the campaign, for which he
deserves credit, but Mr.. Hart
has done something more than
he promised, in supporting and
assisting in the passage of the
"Chattel Mortgage" on live
stock. He helped get enacted
into a law one of the worst
pieces of legislation that was
ever written on the statute books
of the State of Louisiana. /
: will benefit no one except tn,
) lawyers, doctors, merchants

First The lawyer will not re

on that pony for his fee.
Second-It will create a grea
deal of litigation by which tn
lawyer will benefit.
Third-The doctor, in case o
sickness, if he so desires, wi
make a poor man sign a mortgag
on his milk cow before he wi

Fourth Where a man can &c
credit to-day on the strength G

and integrity, the merchant wi
demand of him a chattel NOR
