Mrs. Wicklife and the Era Club.

sumo that politics and not competen-
cy is the basis of the support Of Mrs.
Wickliffe for the place. In so assum-
ing the club is evidently acting with
ont any knowledge on the subject.
Those who know Mrs. Wickliffe
know her to be a woman Of unusual
ability, of indefatigable energy and
Of broad sympathy. 1t is these quail
ties which have given her a conspic-
uOus position in the life Of the CAPT
tai and which would PROFESSIONALLY
serve to make her administration Of
The Child Labor Bureau one of con-
structiVe and effective effort toward
the betterment of conditions in the
field which it would control.
We hope Mrs. Wickliffe may be
able to obtain the influence neces-
Sary to win for her this position.
Aside from the deep sympathy which
every LOuisianian feels for her by
reason of the tragic event by which
she and her child lost a devoted hus-
band and father and the State one
Of the ablest and most promising
members of Congress, Louisiana
ought to desire to see her candidacy
successful, both because it would be
Il recognition of her ability and an
honor of no mean proportions to The
State.

HOOKWoRM SEARCH is ON.

Dr.. G. B. Adams in the service of
iue Rockefeller Commission, having
completed his work in East Feliciana,
arrived Wednesday to take up his IN
vestigations in this parish. 1t will
be remembered that DR.. Adams was
here previously when he lectured
surikingly before the teachers, but
he wants to get thoroughly well ac-
guainted with the townspeOple, and
sill spend the remainder of the week
in that way.
He has not arranged an exact tin
prary yet, but will do so by the next
issue of this paper. He proposes 10
START Monday, accompanied by Parish
superintendent of Schools, Mr.. A. NJ.
Hendon, and will go first to Star Hill,
then Wakefield and Grange Hall and
Poplar Springs, then across to Will
helm, returning to st. FrancisVille
by next Friday. He will address the
schools on the subject of the hook
worm, and get the pupils to advertise
he fact that he will return to these
places to examine for hookWorm and
treat the patients.
Later, the exact time when he will
De in a certain locality will be an
LCunced in these columns. He pro-
poses to devote every Friday to St.
Trancisville, and will give at least
One night lecture, illustrated with
lantern slides, while at work in West
Feliciana Points for visitation will
be arranged at post offices, country
stores. etc, as may be deemed most
convenient. Both white and black
will be examined, and if need be,
treated free of charge. DR.. Adams eX-
poets however to appear before the
Police Jury at it's next meeting, and
ask for an appropriation to pay for
the medicines used in this free treat
ment. The cost will not be heavy,
and has been borne by the several
police juries in the parishes which
he has visited hitherto. The Police
jury could not better spend a rea-
s0nable amount of money, than in
the restoration to health and energy
Of any Of the population, afflicted
with hookworm.
No prejudice should exist in ac-
knoWledging the having of this dis
case, as it is not necessarily a re-
Election on the decent cleanliness Of
The individual, since so long as soil
pollution exists, it is possible for any
one to become infected. Queen Eliz-
abeth was deeply pitted with small
p0X, her palace affording no protac-
ton from the then all-prevalent dis
case. Similarly any one may have
hOokWorm without loss of caste. If
you have a case of malaria" that
battles the doctors, better let Dr..
Adams see if it is not the hookWorm
that is sapping your vitality. Every
one should take an enlightened view
of the situation, and aid DR.. Adams
in every possible way in his inves-
legations. 1t is so seldom that one
gets something for nothing in this
day and time,-and from Rockefeller,
that the opportunity should be Gag
erly grasped.
Next week an article on the hook
worm will be published.

One Of the best expressions in
Mrs. Wickliffe's behalf is from Supt.
Hendon, because it touches a point
hitherto unnoted. He says in part:
The interest in the school girls of
this parish manifested by Mrs. Rob-
ert c, Wickliffe in giving prizes to
encourage them in their tomato and
canning club work last year is Ole
Of the strong evidences that @te
would do efficient and faithful ser
vice"

A visitor to the parish from Ma

that bridges are preliminary to good

$4,000 has recently been spent on

of the system.

A MONUME

The large business of Woodlawn
Stock Farm will be conducted as for,
merly in the name of J. B. McGehee,
although conducted as it has been
almost entirely for some years, by
Mr.. ]. Stewart McGehee. Mr.. Nc
Gehee will continue to reside in st.
Louis, but will be here the greater
part of the time. He feels that the
work at Woodlawn is the best mon
Ument to his father, an undeniable
exponent of that sort of farming to
which his father so ably devoted his
life. Mr.. McGehee was the discover.
or of lespedeza strata as an ideal
hay crop for the South, and in so do
ing, and in urging its growth he, no
doubt, conferred untold benefits up,
on the entire section.
Mrs. J. B. McGehee will continue
20 reside at Woodlawn, having faith
tul servants with her.
Mr.. Skardon was unable on account
OF illness to take part in the debate,
as was slated, at the Teachers Insti-

was presented Notwithstanding by Mr.
HendOn on the question of pension
ing teachers. He presented his side
very ably, and provoked a smile by
Grging the point that most teachers,
(the young ladies' did not remain
teachers long enough to make The
matter very serious issue. Again
he said that if teachers were paid
salaries, commensurate with their
services, the question of pensions
would not arise.
At this session, Miss Dillon recit-

The arrest in Boston of strikingiy
beautiful young woman, who says she
is Mrs. Abbie L. Moulton," on a
charge of forgery is believed by the
local police to be the sequel to a
series of daring forgeries in Newark
last October.
If she is the same woman sac Is,
according to the police, not only cal
tured and exceedingly clever, but a
member of wealthy Orange family.

opened until he sees the rogues' gal

found that in every case a. stylish
young woman had passed them and
obtained expensive wearing apparel

CHARGE EXTORT|ON
TO VICE CRUSADER;
ACCUSES OTHERS
Herman, Worker for
Former Sheriff Som
mer, Under Arrest.

Richard Herman, well-known as one
of former Sheriff Frank H. Sommer's
workers during the vice crusade of
several years ago, appeared before
Judge Harry. Y Osborne today and
pleaded not guilty to a complaint to
a charge of extortion, and was
'paroled in the custody of his counsel
Charles M. Mason, undersheriff under
Sheriff Sommer, to appear for hearing
next Monday, January 27.
The complaint was made by Alfred
H. Alexander before Judge Osborne,
sitting as a committing magistrate,
and is the second complaint made in
the same offense. one having been
made last week by Alexander before
Justice of the Peace T. A. Blauvelt.
The complaint charges that Her
man obtained $50 by extortion from
Alexander, who was arrested several
months ago charged with maintain
ing a disorderly house on Broad
street. He pleaded guilty to the charge
and it is alleged by Alexander that
after he had pleaded guilty Herman
came to him and said that for 800,
which Herman said he would give to
a former county official, he would see
that the fine imposed by Judge Will
lam p Martin, before whom Alexan-
der had pleaded, would not be more
than $3.50
According to Alexander Herman in
timated that this would be the
amount of. the fine that would be ar
ranged between the former official
and Judge Martin. The former offi-
cial was Ill and never heard of the
transaction, according to both Alex
ander and Herman.
Then Herman, Alexander says, de-
cIared he could make the same ar
rangement through certain lawyer.
Herman IS alleged to have taken
$100 from Alexander, of which $50
was given to the lawyer and the re-
manning $50 retained by himself.
When Alexander came up for sem
tence three weeks ago he was fined
81, 900 by Judge Martin, which fine he
paid. Then he started an investi-
cation to find out why the fine had
been so large, and consulted with
First Assistant Prosecutor Fred r.
Lehlbach, who placed the matter be-
fore Judge Martin. Judge Martin.
after an Investigation. advised the
arrest of Herman on charge of ex-
tortion.

Will Enforce
Garbage Order

With a view TO receiving the CO.
operation of the police and health
authorities in the enforcement OF the
garbage ordinances as well as the
garbage contract, the Board Of
Works today conferred with the Pe-
lice Board and members of the Board
of Health.
Hundreds of complaints have al
ready been received from both the
citizens and the contractor that the
ordinance is being violated. Under
the plan as suggested by Commfs=
sioner Charles p. Gillen ii is planned
to have the policemen and health Of
flcers take especial pains that the
ordinance is not violated.
Citizens have complained that this
contractor does not return the ash
and garbage receptacles 10 their
proper places and also that hts
wagons are uncovered. On the other.
hand. he has complained that the.
householders are negligent in plaeing
their rubbish. etc, in its proper place.
