St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-07-18

MANY a young man in this city, because
he is the proud owner of an automobile, IS
Of the opinion that the city officials should
let him break the law at will, especially the
one of speeding and not blowing the horn.
It is gratifying, however, to note that
the local officers do not listen to the wall OF
these automobiles and the law is row being
enforced to the letter after due warning to
practically all automobile owners.
Whilst the city's ordering blowing of the
horns at each corner compulsory may in the
face Of it appear ridiculous, we doubt If
there is a person in Opelsusas who is not OF
the opinion that this very little insignificant
thing, as it may appear, will prevent some
disastrous accidents.
The speeders in Opelousas arn't few,
indeed, and it is little short Of a miracle that
there has not been recorded a death by
automobile accident thus far in this city.
But this luck will not last forever and auto
mobile owners will SILVER when that day will
come.
The city officials can easily put a stop to
speeding, by being very strict on the would
be-racers; the officers are too lenient and it
viii be mostly their fault if some serious &C.
cidents happen in the city; we would judge
that these men would rather do their duty
than see the inevitable happen right before
their eyes.
The Clarion would give warning, which
by the way has been sounded by private in
yiduals more than once to the parish officials
that the country road speeding at very high
clip is enjoyed to a great extent. Whilst
speeding in the country is not half so DANCE
rous as in the city, the Automobiles are al
ways in danger when going fast. We are
ardent believers of enjoying an automobile
and are sometimes, like everybody else, car
ried away by the sport and allow our foot to
rest a little hard on the excelarator, perhaps
breaking the parish speed law; we are human
and consequently should also be pinched, if
endangering some ones life.

REPRESENTS SIMON PUR
DEMOCRACY.

The Gazette presents to-day it's choice
and candidacy for reelection to congress the
Hon. Ladislas Lazaro, now serving his first
term in Congress from this the 7th congress
sional District.
Mr.. Lazaro is a native son of our sister
parish, St. Landry. and a Louisianian of
which we all feel proud.
Beginning life in obscurity having been
born and reared on the farm, that bulwark,
Of American statesmenship, we see this
young man by his rugged honesty, always
true to his friends and perseverance,
gradually rising to a place of affection in
the hearts of his people and affluence in the
affairs Of his state.
Mr.. Lazaro served several years as state
senator from his Senatorial District during
which time there was never a word of criti-
cism aimed at him Notwithstanding the ever
changing ~gubernatorial campaigns turned a
merciless searchlight upon record Of each
succeeding administration he always enjoy
ed the good will and respect of all as was
shown by his remarkable vote in the last
congressional election.
MIR. Lazaro although elected two years
ago, has actually served in congress a little
more than one year. But Notwithstanding
this brief period of service he has made a
remarkable record for a new man. He has
remained persistently at work in Washing
ton looking after the interest of his people.
His vote upon every question has been
in accord with the great mass of thinking
people and he has never sWerved in his de-
but remained true to its tenets at
all times.
BY the right of all precedents that We
are able to find and the very eternal fitness
things in equity, he should be returned at

The Butler Bill-Its Purpose Elk.
planned.

To the Editor of the Clarion: The Item
is engaged in charging the opponents of
this measure with having deprived the Gov
eminent with sufficient revenues to meet
the States demands. In its issue of this
day, it arraigns all of the gentlemen who
voted against the bill and endeavors to set
the Confederate Veterans against them for
failure to adopt it.
This is rot pure and simple. Every adj
m%inistration since Reconstruction days has
provided revenue sufficient to meet the
States demand under a revenue law some
what similar to the present one enacted in
1898.
The Item championed the Butler bill.
The peoples representatives opposed it. A
sample specimen given below evidences
those of US who voted against it had IN eye
single to the peoples good.
I pay taxes on my wife's property as
sessed at $25OO.0 90. These amount to $50. 88
itemized baow.

Total amount paid state and parish s53 13
City Jazz -.. % 90
Special sewerage 875
Total amount paid state, parish and
city S86 88
-
This property is assessed at about one
half its value. Assessed under the Butler
bill at it's actual cash value, it would amount
to $4,000. 90. Sixty per cent of this amount
$4,000. 90. This would be $4,000 in ex-
cess of the amount it is presently
assessed. This would mean a
payment of taxes on $500. 90 more than at
present, or S17.37 in excess of what is now
being paid. Instead Of paying S8b.88 as at
present, | would pay $104. Is. Just such a
illustration as this is what actuated
me to vote against the Butler bill. And I
am going to do it again if needs be. My
conduct meets with the unqualified approval
of the taxpayers Of this parish, and that
for me is sufic lent, the wall and lament
of the Item to the contrary not
~withstanding.
Yours truly,

Russians Change Plans.

The Russian campaign in Poland
has been changed since Saturday,
when the German concentrated attack
between Mlawa and Plock failed.
The Russian staff believes that last
weeks effort of Won Hindenburg was
the high water mark of the German
invasion of north Poland.
It was repulsed by the accumulat-
ed Russian reserve. The Germans are
now falling back, and there have been
heavy rear guard engagements be-
tween the retiring Germans and the
Russian cavalry from Mlawa across
the East Prussian frontier.
While the Russians have thus stop
pc the German avance upon Warsaw
their attempt to take Cracow on the
south. the gateway to German Silesia,
Is making no progress.
It is admitted that the Austro-Ger'
man armies have so entrenched them
selves in front of Cracow in the past
ninety days and have so fortified their
positions that a frontal attack is al
most impossible.

.SERVIANS MARCH
INTO BELGRADE
Kings Victorious Army Enters
City in Triumph

The Servian army has re-entered
Belgrade in triumph. The Austrians,
who occupied the city for only twelve
days, fled across the Danube and Save
rivers in great disorder. Servian ter
ritory is now clear OF the enemy ex-
cept at two points.
An official statement formally an
nounced the reoccupation of the capi-
tai by the troops of King Peter.
The statement declares that the
Austrians now hold only Shabatz and
Loznica in Servia. These two towns
are in the extreme northwest corner
of the country, at the junction Of the
Drina and Save rivers.
The official statement says:
"The enemy has fed across the
Danube and Save rivers in great dis
order and has evacuated Belgrade.
All Servian territory is now freed Of
the enemy, except Shabatz and Loz-
MICA, whose deliverance is imminent.
"The triumphal entry Of the Ser
Wan troops into Belgrade was mark
ed by scenes of indescribable enthu-
siasm. King Peter has received mes
sages of congratulations from all OF
his allies"

Russian forces that tried to reach

In Vienna, saying that they have been
pursued as far as the plain Of Allen

emy.
THE pursuit of the Russians in
western Galicia is being continued" ,"
says the statement. 1T has already
reached the plain of Allenthal, with
alternately more or less important
engagements. We are taking many
prisoners and the Russians are losing
heavily in killed and wounded as they
retreat.
North of Lowicz our allies are sue
cessfully continuing their attack on
the strongly fortified position of the
Russians.
THE moving Of strong hostile
forces in the south necessitated the
Tearrangement of our Balkan army
and the withdrawal of our right wing.
This simple proceeding has been rep
resented as a decided Servian sue
cess. Servian reports Of our losses
are immeasurably exaggerated"
Vienna newspapers report a mutiny
in the Russian army besieging the
city of Przemysl. Several battalions
are said to have been sent away in
fetters.

Germany Admits Check In Poland.
An official report from the general

Poland admits that the German forces
have been checked in the Mlawa re

port was as follows:
"Ffve columns which advanced from

Elsewhere in Poland there is moth

Among the items issued by the on

the following:
"Le Temps, a Paris newspaper, es-

British Submarine Dives Under Mines

British Submarine Dives Under Mines
and Torpedoes 5attIeship.
A communication issued by the Of
fetal bureau in London announces
that the Turkish battleship Messu-
dieh has been torpedoed by a British
submarine.
The official bureaus statement is as
follows:
Sunday submarine Bill, in charge
of Lieutenant Commander Norman B..
Holbrook, Of the Royal Navy, entered
the Dardanelles, and in spite OF the
difficult current dived under five rows
of mines and torpedoed the Turkish
battleship Messudieh, which was
guarding the mine fields.
Although pursued by gun fire and
torpedo boats, the Bill returned safe
ly after being submerged, oneone oc-
casion, for nine hours.
"When last seen the Messudieh was
sinking by the stern"
The feat of Lieutenant Commander
Holbrook is regarded as perhaps the
boldest marine exploit Of the war. The
submarine presumably was not even
scratched. She escaped gunfre and
the pursuit Of torpedo craft In a man
ner truly remarkable.
