The young Jew, whose name was Otto

powerful fellow. with good-humored, in

Promotion without Corruption.
Rather curiously. it was by no means
as easy to keep politics and corruption
out of the promotions as out of the en-
trance examinations. This was because
I could take complete charge OF the en-
trance examinations myself; and more
Ia N
promotions. on the other hand. the
prime element was the record and ca
pacity of the officer, and for this We had
largely to rely upon the judgment of the
mans immediate superiors. This doubt
less meant that in certain cases that
Judgment was given for improper rea-
sons.
However, there were cases where ]
could act on personal knowledge. One
thing that we did was to endeavor to
recognize gallantry. We did not have
to work a revolution in the force as TO
courage in the way that We had to
work a revolution in honesty. They had
always been brave in dealing with riot
Gus and violent criminals.
But they had gradually become very
corrupt. Our great work. therefore
was the stamping out of dishonesty, ano
this work we did thoroughly. SD far as
the ridiculous bipartisan law under
which the department was administered
would permit. But We were anxious that,
while stamping out what was evil IN the
force, we should keep and improve
what was good.
While warning on dishonesty. We made
every effort to increase efficiency. II mas.

MODEL FARM.

The following letter from
Mayor Fontelieu was forwarded
to Congressman Broussard last
Monday:
In face Of the disastrous effect
upon our immediate section of the
reduc ton and final elimination OF
the tariff on sugar, it is incum-
bent on us to do something to-
ward educating our farmers IN
the culture of diversified crops.
The business men of this city, III
Guiding the Board of Trade, are
DESTROYS of establishing and main
tanning a demonstration farm in
Iberia parish, placing in charge
a person Of the highest ability
and efficiency. This will entail
quite a large initial expenditure
and a heavy annual expense.
AS you are aware, the passage
of the Underwood bill demOralizes
our farmers to such an extent
that. unless something is done by
us to counterfeit the condition,
they will not know what to d."
after the present growing crop is
harvested.
"In view of the expressions OF
good will by various members OF
Congress who, despite such ex-
pressions, deemed it their duty
to vote for a bill which destroys
our principal industry, We hava
reason to hope that with your as
sistance we may procure Federal
aid for the purchase Of the farm
and the maintenance thereof.
"Our most prominent business
men are very much interested IN
: the proposition, and We would
like to have your views and sug-
! gestiOns. If you are returning
to Louisiana shortly we would
prefer to discuss the matter with
YOU in person.
"Please let us hear from you
at your earliest convenience.
"With kind regards. -

ABANDONED WELL IN La
FAYETTE PRODUCES OIL.

Lafayette, La, July 3.-Ex-
perts and spectators in the Anse-
la-Butte oil fields were given
something of a surprise Wednes-
day when Driller Ed. Boutte, o.
the Iberia Oil Company bailed an
abandoned we'll which had been
drilled ten years ago and 1t be-
gan throwing a steady stream Of
pure oil At the time the well
was drilled it proved to be salt
water we'll and was practically
abandoned. Tuesday a force cf
workmen began work on the
well, preparatory to drilling II
deeper, when it commenced to
pour forth oil.
No one seems to be able to give
any definite explanation, except
that, from exposure to water the
sand has cemented the we'll and
the bailing has opened the oil
veins.
The we'll is situated on the
POrcio tract and several hun
dred feet east of the we'll recent
Iy brought in. Several persons
who have leases around the we'll
have Already been approached
with view of sutitaa!ng their

MUST FACE TRIAL.

Poplarville, Miss, July s.
Ruling that the courts of Miss
issippi are without jurisdiction IN
the ease, Judge Weatherby today
refused to grant writ Of habeas
corpus for w. c. Walters, alleged
kidnaper of little Bobbie' Dun
bar, at Opelousas, La, Aug. %.
1912, who is fighting eXtradition
to Louisiana to stand trial on the
charge.
There were no witnesses heard
today, and as soon as court con
vened this morning Judge We:th
ersby began reading his decision
He repeated his ruling yesterday
that evidence concerning the
identify of the boy in question IS
not relevant in this proceeding.
Sheriff Marion Swords and his
deputies were on hand from Ope-
lousas to take charge of the ac-
cused in the event of a decision
against Walters, hut Dale s.
Rawls, the accused attorneys, for
stalled action on their part by
the filing of an immediate appeal
to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
That tribunal will remain in
session only few days yet, and
the probability is that it will not
likely hear Walters case until
fall.
Before the decision was read
Mr.. Dale announced that he had
already prepared papers for an
onneal in ease of an adverse rul-
ing. Judge Weathersby retorted
spiciIy, saying: ono decision
has yet been given in the case and
there will be plenty of time for
the appeal afterwards. -
judge Weathersby remarked in
his decision that he did not con
slider Walters guilt vel non, but
stated that the grounds for his
decision were that since Governor
Brewer had hOnOred the requisi-
ton the state courts were with
out jurisdiction to consider the
matter.
Walters was practically I'M
moved by the courts holding. lie
was seated near his attorneys.
There was a large crowd present
to hear JUDGE Weathersby's de-
cision.
Walters attorneys seem bent
on a long and bitter fight, being
of the opinion that their client
cannot get fair trial in Louis
lana. Mr.. Dale stated that when
Governor Brewer granted the re.
QUESTION he told the attorney
privately that he did not think
Walters was guilty of the crim'
charged. At any rate, Walters

AN OPPORTUNITY.

New iberia, July Sd, 1913.
Editor Enterprise:
Diversified crops which nat
urally includes all classes OF
truck, seems to be the solution of
the farming situation in the Par
ish today. The Truck Growers
Association is doing all it can to
influence the farmers and truck
gardeners, to enlarge their acre
age of truck, but to my mind
the one thing which will do more
than anything else to attain the
end desired is the establishment
Gf n Canncry.
There is IA proposition now
ODen to the business men of the
City by one Of them in which he
agrees to furnish the factOry and
100000, provided an additional
100000 is raised by the citizens
his proposition being that as soon
as 100000 is turned over to him
he will put in a like amount,
equip his plant and start opera
ton, he further agrees that II
the event the Cannery is a sue
cess that he will pay back to eacn
subscriber the amount cOntrl
buted.
If strikes me- that this PROPOSE
ton is too vital, too important to
be allowed to fail. The farmers
and truckers are perfectly willing,
more than anxious in fact. to in
crease their acreage but, nat
rally they want to know first II
they will secure a market for
these prodrcts.
I would suggest that any one
who is inter ested sufficiently to
place his name on the list to first
consult with the gentleman who
is making the proposal, Mr.. IL. L
Gates, or communicate with you.

AN OBJECT In VIEW.

You seldom find saving fam
lily paying rent.
A family paying rent has no
special incentive to save, but the
family that buys a home has IA
special object to save for. They
at once realize that it is much
more important to save their mon
ey and pay for their home than
to waste it foolishly, and if they
have borrowed money from this
Association they can pay 1t back
in easy monthly payments.
It is all in the plan.
