A NEEDLESS PROTEST.

A statement appeared in one of
the New Orleans daily papers re-
Gently to the effect that some or
ganization Or meeting in the
purlieus Of Lafourche parish had
adopted resolution vigorously pro-
testing against the removal of the
Bayou Lafourche dam at Donaldson
vile unless locks were positively to
be constructed to take its place, -
Or words to that effect.
It looks as il somebody has been
"stringing' our fellow citizens of
the Lafourche bottoms, for nobody
has ever been foolish OR inconsider-
ate enough to even suggest that the
dam be removed until locks have
been built in its stead
The people of Donaldsonvi1le and
the upper valley are anxious to get
rid OF the dam, but have no idea of
seeing their neighbors anywhere
alcng the Bayou Lafourche again sub
jected to the danger Of overflow
from that stream or to the expense
Of rebuilding and maintaining the
Ievees on it's banks. We do not
wish or expect to see the dam dis
surbed until the locks are built and
'eady for operation, and any move
nent looking to the removal of the
lam in advance OF that time would
De opposed and resisted as earnest
y here as IN Lafourche.

EARLY. CLOSING MOVEMENT.

A movement has been set on foot
by the Chamber OF Commerce to Sc
cure the adoption Of an agreement
among the merchants Of Donaldson
vile whereby they will close their
respective places of business at s
o'clock in the afternoon during the
summer months, and the suggestion
should meet with general approval
and concurrence. 1t has heen the
experience of all cities or towns
which have tried the experiment of
closing the stores by common con-
sent at o'clock throughout the
heated term that no loss of business
is suffered by the houses entering
such an agreemept, while at the
same time it tends to increased eff
ficiency in the service of all who
receive the benefit of such consider
ate treatment.
Local shoppers will no doubt be
glad to cooperate in the movement
by making their purchases earlier in
the day, and few if any Of them will
be inconvenienced, whereas it will be
a very real boon indeed that will be
conferred upon the tired sales peo-
pie in releasing them from duty at
an hour that will permit them to
seek some recreation after the grind
of a long, hot days work.
We cordially endorse the Chamber
of Commences suggestion and COM
mend it to the kind consideration Of
ou1 big-hearted merchants, confident
they will do the right thing in the
premises by adopting a plan of which
the vast majority of their patrons
and the public SO heartily approve
and which is calculated to serve such
excellent purposes.

REGIONAL Banks Located,

The official announcement came
from Washington Thursday night that
the twelve regional banks provided
for in the currency law will be locat-
ed at Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, st.
Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas
City, Dallas and San Francisco. Thus
New Orleans, the largest city in the
southern states and generally re-
garded as the logical point for a
regional bank as she certainly was
the logical point for an exposition to
commemorate the opening of the
Panama Canal, again "gets it in the
neck" from Washington. Evidently
the powers that be up there seem
t. think the only logical point New
Orleans has is her neck.

Trepagnier--Pfiste

Leonce Trepagnier, the talented
young son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. L.
Trepagnier, of this city, and Miss
Margaret Pfister, the pretty daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Pfister,
also of Donaldsonville. were quietly
married at st. Stephens Catholic
church in New Orleans at 12 clock
noon Thursday, the End instant,
Rev. L. P. Landry officiating. The
young people met in New Orleans
by previous arrangement, Mr.. Ire
pagnier having gone to that city
from Laurel, Miss, where he has
been located for some time past,
while Miss Pfister went down from
here Thursday morning. The i'm
presslye ceremony which made the
happy couple man and wife was wit
messed by the brides father and
brother, Messrs. John and George
Pfister, and Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley
Montero, of New Orleans, friends of
the contracting parties.
Mr.. Trepagnier is an expert eIec-
trician and automobile mechanician,
and is young man of Industrious
habits and exceptionally pleasing
personality, who counts as his friends
all who have the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance. He was formerly en-
ployed as mechanician in the repair
department of the Donaldsonville
Garage, and is now filling a similar
position in the employ of the Knucky-
Mysing Auto Company at Laurel,
Miss, the senior partner of which
concern is W. A. Knucky, at one
time manager of the local garage.
The bride is a prepossessing and
accomplished young woman, we'll
endowed with all the qualities and
virtues that go to make up the per-
feet wife and helpmate For some
time past she has been in charge of
the box office of the Grand Theatre,
in which capacity she has establish
ed an excellent record for efficiency
and earned for herself the esteem
and respect Of her employers and the
patrons of the house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Trepagnier left New
Orleans Friday afternoon for Laurel,
where they will make their home.
The Chief joins their multitude Of
friends here and elsewhere in ex-
tending them warmest congratula-
tions upon the happy elimination of
their romance, and best wishes for
long and happy married life.

Torreon Taken by Gen. Villa.

The latest news from Mexico in
cludes the official report from Gen.
Francisco Villa to Gen. Venustiano
Carranza of the capture of the Fed
eral stronghold Torreon after eleven
days of the hardest and bloodiest
fighting that has yet characterized
the pending Mexican struggle. Gen.
Villa estimates his own losses at 500
killed and 1900 wounded, and says
those of the Federals were consider
ably greater. The victorious rebels
took a large number of prisoners and
are pursuing the retreating remnant
of the routed Federal forces. This
notable success will undoubtedly in
crease the enthusiasm and confidence
of the Constitutionalists, and cor
respondingly depress the adherents
of the Huerta government, who be-
lieved that Gen. Velasco would be
able to repulse the efforts of the
rebels to take TorEeon

The steamer J. H. Menge Of the
Mississippi Packet Company met an
unexpected rival from a speed stand
point Wednesday afternoon, when the
tleet little Donaldsonville- Burnside
passenger packet Virgie accepted the
challenge hurled at her by the
Menge. The race was begun at Dix
lie Landing, two and a half miles be-
low this city, and was most in
teresting and hot1y-contested one,
every mile stirring more and more
interest among the spectators. The
finish came at Burnside, when the
Menge acknowledged defeat by rec
ognizing the mistake she made in
hurting the challenge.

. A REMARKABLE CONTEST IN
CONGRESS.

The struggle going on at Washing
ton over the proposition emanat1ng
from President Wilson to repeal the
clause of the Panama Canal act ex-
empting American vessels engaged in
the coastWise trade from tonnage
tolls for passage through the canal,
is in some respects the most remark
able that has ever taken place in
the United States congress.
ALI the floor leaders of the differ
ent parties in the house of represen-
tatives, Democratic, Republican and
Progressive, actively opposed the
presidents policy, and among the
closing speeches in the discussion
was a strong one by Speaker Champ
Clark, who also strove to prevent the
passage Of the repeal bill.
The influence of the president
proved paramount, however, and the
vote of the house, taken on Tuesday
after an unusually exciting and spec
tacular debate, resulted in the pas
sage of the pending Sims bill by
PAT yeas to 161 nays, majority OF
86 in it's favor. The affirmative vote
comprised 220 Democrats, 25 Republi-
cans and Progressiyes. The mega
tive vote was cast by So Democrats,
92 Republicans and II Progressives.
The Louisiana delegation divided
evenly, four voting yes and four no.
The measure now goes to the SEN
ate, where the contest promises to
be quite as spirited as that in the
house. Various predictions of the
outcome are being made, ranging
from 16 majority in favor of the bill
to small majority against 1t, and
including the guess that no vote will
be reached at this session. The
most reasonable presumption, in view
of the result in the lower house, is
that the senate will follow the lead
Of the popular branch of congress
and uphold the president in his con-
tention that the tolls exemption
should be repealed.
President Wilson does not deny
the right and power of the United
States to exempt its own vessels
from canal tolls, but he thinks the
nation is big enough and just enough
not to insist on the exercise of the
prerogative in the face of the opin-
ion of all the other countries whose
vessels will use the canal that such
exemption would be a violation of
the terms of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty with Great Britain.
The meat of the presidents appeal
to congress was contained in his de-
claration that "We consented to the
treaty; its language We accepted, If
we did not originate it, and We are
too big, too powerful and too self
respecting a nation to interpret with
too strained or too refined a reading
the words of our own promises, just
because we have power enough to
give US leave to read them as we
please. The large thing to do is the
only thing We can afford to do, a
voluntary withdrawal from position
everywhere questioned and misunder-
stood. We ought to reverse our ac-
tion without raising the question
whether we were right Or wrong, and
SO once more deserve our reputation
for generosity and the redemption Of
every obligation, without quibbIe or
nesitation.'',
The Donaldsonville chief., 1914-04-04
THE LEVEE BOARDS AND THE
LOCKS.

There is no longer any room for
controversy as to the legal and
moral obligation resting upon the
Atchafa1aya and Lafourche basin
levae boards to provide for the
placing of locks in Bayou Lafourche
at DonaldsonvilIe in lieu of the dam
that now cuts off the connection
between that stream and the Mis-
sissippi river.
Everybody concerned, including the
Ievee commissioners who most yIgor-
ously oppose present action or agita-
ticn in connection with the lock
question, freely admit that the le-
wee boards are under promise and
contract to have the locks construct
ed. The only ground upon Whlcn
non-action is advocated and de-
Tended is that the revenues and re-
sources of the levee boards are not
sufficient to meet the cost OF con-
structing the locks in addition to
that of maintaining and improving
the Ievees of the two districts, and
that the absolute necessity OF pro-
viding for the latter work, involving
as it does the protection of the
property and lives of the people, con-
stitutes greater and more urgent
obligation than the one to build the
locks. ~
There is no room for controversy
on this point either, since the most
jealous and persistent advocates OF
the lock movement understand and
concede that holding the levee line
intact is the first and most import
ant duty Of the leyee boards, and
there has not been at any time a
disposition to demand the construc-
ton of the locks upon any basis
that would sacrifice or retard the
work of protecting the districts from
inundation.
The matter resolves itself, there
fore, into the simple proposition OF
the ability of the two levee boards
to make provision for both the
locks and the levees. If major
ity of the members of the joint Or
ganization believe the double task
is too great to be undertaken through
that medium, let them so declare,
openly and above board, and couple
the declaration with an appeal to
the United States government to as
sumo the work of building the locks.
This will be far preferable to con-
tinuing the policy of deferring and
evading the issue, and will give our
representatives at Washington a
strong argument in support of the
bill introduced by Congressman Nor
gan of this district making an ap-
preparation of s500,O0O for the Don
aldsonville locks.
In all probability the lock plans
prepared under the direction of Col
Lansing H. Beech will be complet-
ed and ready for presentation at
the next joint meeting of the At.
chafalaya and Lafourche basin levee
boards, but whether the plans are
ready or not there need be no de-
lay in taking the action We have
suggested. Col Beach has express
ed the opinion that the locks can
be built by his plans for $35O,G00,
and if the levee boards cannot see
their way clear to raise that amount
of money, why should there be any
need for holding back the admission
of their inability?
In brief, il the leVee boards can't
build the locks as they promised to
do, let them be candid and manly
enough to say SO, and to. ask Uncle
Sam to take the Job off their hands:
