Mrs. Stella !Droulhet Receives
Terrific Lick.
HUSBAND LEAVESAT ONCE
The Affair Takes Place st Dallas,
and 1t Is alleged That After the
wife Was Felied Man Put Her
en- Bed and Left.

Receiving a blow over the heart that
was sufficient to break her neck and
collar bone, Mrs Stella Drouilhet,
thirty two years old, wife Of Raymond
Droui'het, q printing ..pressman, was
injured 50 badly at 709 North Har-
wood street, Dallas, that she died al
most instantly.
The only eyewitness was negro
maid, who stated the man struck the
woman because she refused him cash,
AfteL striking the little woman, IT is
said, the husband carried her body
from the kitchen, where the killing oc-
Cured, to the living room, asking,
'Oh, honeyl WHAT'S the matterY" He
then ran across the yard, coatless
and bareheaded, saying that he was
going for doctor, that ''she was
hurt
Officers Scott and Fouraker we're
passing near by on their return to the
city hall after answering call in the
vicinity when they met Drouilhet, who
told them he was going after doctor.
Right after that the officers we're told
man was beating his wife in the rear
Of the building. BRUSHING to the place
they found the lifeless body lying on
pile Of quilts in the living room.
Search OF the neighborhood was made
for the man without avail.
Mrs. Drouilhct was born and reared
in Denison. She was the only daugh-
ter OF Mrs. A. B. REVERE of Denison.
She had been married twice. Her first
husband was William McCeFver and
to that union two children were born,
boy eleven years old and girl Of
nine. About year ago she was mar
ried to Drouilet and resided at Deni-
son, finally removing to Fort Worth
and then to Dallas.
Mary Rainey, the negro maid, said
Of the killing: II saw him hit her
the eye and she hit him with saucer,
Then he hit her over the heart with
his fist She fell to the floor and her
head struck the wash basin in the
fall. Ho then dragged her into the
living room and ran out at the side
door. | heard Thorn quarreling before
he hit her, but didn't pay much at
tention to it. She told me when
first came here that her husband quar-
relied and fused At her and told me
not to think anything about it.
II was so scared / didn't know
what to do. She begged him not to
hit her. Several of the boarders
(Mrs. Drouilhet conducted boarding
housed came rushing in and pretty
soon some officers we're here, but he
was already gone. =
Burial was at Denison.

"TOo Much Politics."

When in Opelousas recently Gov
rrnor Hall announced that there i
too much politics in Louisiana
which is trIs The politics IN LOUIS
lana is practically due to factlona]
differences, which are kept alive by
politicians and place hunters whose
very existence is dependent on agl-
tation. It matters little what may
be the purpose in view, whether i
is to promote the welfare OF the
State or the local community, lls
sincerity is questioned, especially
by the two-by-four politicians who
expect to derive personal profit by
frequently intensifying such
senselcss agitation.
There never can be too much pol
itics, if ii were directed to the bet
terment of general conditions anf
TO the maintenance Of government
at The highest standard Of efficiency
The State OF Louisiana is not suffer-
ing from too much polItlcs, hut
from a remarkable deficiency II
politics that is essential to gOod
government.
Eye@ good citizen should be {
politician, and every good cltlzen
should take an active part IN poll
tics, not as The ready seeker OF o.
flee nor as the holder Of office Wllo
is stimulated more from the pecu-
MARY enticemenls than from the
dictates Of patriotism.
One of the reasons why the !radl-
tional. never tired and always hun
cry for Office politician is generally
successful is through the apathy q
the good citizen, who frequently IS
pledged by promise he should
never give, especially when 1t IS so
licIted months in advance preceding
the election at which the office
seeker expects to secure the ma
jority.
Indeed what is needed in Louis
lana is more politics and less poll,
ticians of the stripe that thrive on
faratical agitation.
What is needed today i'll Louis
lana and in Shreveport and in every
community in the State is 9 greater
appreciation Of civic rcsponslblllt,
and duty by the citizen who, il moi
a seeker of Office. should be politi-
clan, at least to The extent Of taking
an active interest in politics that
would result in the selection OF The
best men. men having the ability tt
fill the Offices credit'ably, satlsfac-
torily and not alone for the salaries
fixed for the office.
