New York. Sept. 29.-Active move

Union Pa ciffc dropped back more than two points from it's high figure. Canadian Pacific lost nearly three points Oth- CT representative issues lost one to two

 main impetus from short selling or the unloading of long stock.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

The most notable feast of the year is
but five days distant. On this day the his
toric old town of Opelousas will be in its
|gayest and happiest mood, when the citizens
of this city will be wishing one another all
the best that the Almighty has in store for
them. Christmas is a day when we Louis
~ianians always make it a point to be with
those we love dearly, as it is considered the
most memorable day of the year. On this
day we all strive to have the best and most
enjoyable time we have ever had.
Manv a welcomed and happy handshake
is extended to us as we are saluted with
"A Very Merry Christmas!' May this
Christmas be the happiest that you have
spent in your life, is the wish of your local
paper.
Politics, politics, that must be about all
that we in St. Landry know anything about.
Why have so many elections and have them
so often. Of course we all love to fight,
but when we do fight we must neglect our
business. Whilst politics is one of the
most interesting games in the world it is
dangerous to business, if played to often
and too long, as is often done in Louisiana.

THE MURFF-DUVAL CASE.

Dora Murff, who tried to convince the
twelve stern jurymen sitting in the Court.
house at Crowley, sometime ago, that she
was the one who fired the fatal shot which
caused the death of her lover, Willard Dali
haye, on October 18th last, was sentenced
to four years Imprisonment by Judge Camp
bell on Monday, exactly two months after
the tradegy occurred, on the principal
t~horoughfare of the Acadia capital. Her
stepfather, ]. S. Duvall goes to the
penitentiary for life.
1t is the opinion of the Clarion that the
men who found the girl and her stepfather
guilty of the crime set an example to the
weak minded and chicken hearted men, who
have from time to time, in this great South
land of ours, and especially in the state of
Louisiana, refused to convict a woman for
having killed her lover, simply because he
deceived her. The unwritten law, which
one of our citizens in a communication to
the Clarion of December 18th, termed as the
"South's cherished institution, " is more or
less Of a sheal under which women often
hide to commit murder. 1t is not a surprise
that the girl and her lawyers tried in vain
to prove to the twelve good men and true
that she was the one who sent the fatal shot
into the body of Delhaye, since so many

Costly Municipal Administration.
Opelousas, La, Dec. lie, l91

O~pelousas, La, Dec. 16, 1913.
Mr.. Editor:
Permit me, through your columns, to call
the attention of the taxpayers of Opelousas
to the excessive cost of our municipal adj
ministration a cost out of all proportion to
that of almost every other town or city in
the country.
Here the mayors salary is $3.50, or about
Is cents for every man, woma and child in
O~pelousas. In Vicksburg it is $500, or but
little more than z cents per. capita. In New
Orleans, which has the highest salaried
mayor in the country-a larger salary than
that OF the Governor of most of the States
the per capita tax paid to the mayor is less
than 3 cents. The salaries of the street com
and of several other Opelousas
officials are much too high, and now that the
city election is near at hand it behooves the
taxpayers to pick out aldermen who will
apply the pruning knife wherever necessary
Or proper. TAXPAYER.

girls have gone Scott free in this state I'M
der the plead of the unwritten law.
There is a law, a human law, which
was enacted for the purpose of preserving
the purity and chastity of ~womanhood, and
we who live in these days of advanced civiil-
cation, should not take the law in our
hand, simply because one weak hearted
woman has fallen for the sweet words OF a
deceiver. These men, who found the girl
guilty of manslaughter, whilst they
imposed life Imprisonment on her stepfather,
acted fearlessly and honorably. They all
had families and knew what they were do
ing. Their action should be an example to
all men, who will, hereafter, be chosen as
iurymen to serve on similar cases.
Too many women through j~ealousness
or other causes, have shot down men, have
been given their freedom, simply because it
has never been known in this great civilized
state of ours what it is to send a woman to
the pentitentiary for killing a man, because
he deceived her.
The killing of a man, because he deceiv-
ed her, does not bring back her virtue, but
on the contrary gives more notoriety to her
case, than if the man would have been sent
to the penitentiary for his actions. Instead
Of only one community being aware OF what
was going on, the entire country is acqualnt-
ed with every detail involved in the canda
The Clarion is not in accordance with the
communication which appeared in this paper
last week. On the contrary it heartily
approves the steps Of the twelve jurors,
who were fearless enough to find Dora

their pleading the "UnWritten Law"

THE EXPOSITION OF IDEAS.

position will be held. by holding an exposi-
ton of it's own, in 1914.
New Orleans being the logical gateway
for the Panama Canal and being so located
that millions of people will visit the city in
the event that an exposition would be held
is sufficient to arouse the spirit Of the New
Orleans people in getting busy about the
exposition.
The country cities and towns should CO.
operate with the metropolis of the south in
every respect, as this exposition, which will
be the greatest ever held in the south. will
benefit every portion of the state of Louis
lana, as well as the entire south. MANY
cities in various states in Dixieland have al
ready signified their intention to assist New
Orleans to make the proposed exposition
materialize.
The people of Opelousas an d st. Landry
should evince a great deal of interest in this
undertaking, as this parish will derive
benefits from the exposition.
Tourists will pass through this parish by
thousands, and, since seeing is believing,
will know for themselves what st.
Landry parish is. They will stop here and
spend some of their money and many will
probably remain in this state. Why not
reach out for these people when we can do
