St. Landry Clarion:

Editor ST. Landry Clarion:
Do you think thai prescriptive
laws, which debar the right Of
suffrage to many Of our best cit
liens in the election Of officials
to carry the government Of our
city should be rescinded? It is a
disgrace to think that any Of
our citizens, no matter how few
in number, should be refused
to say who should make and en-
force the laws and taxes upon
them, because they will not label
themselves or have the brand of
Democracy placed upon them.
This is too much Of an enlighten
ed age to deprive your fellowciti-
zens of his right merely because
his conscience will not allow him
to think as you do.
Wake up fellow citizens, throw
off the old medival thought Of
being better than others and let
us all work for the betterment
our city, without regards to
politics or creed.
Truly yours,
ROSS CARLIN.
