An Expression of Appreciation.

The Bayou Lafourche Lock Asso
citation, through the medium of The
Chiefs columns, wishes to express
to the people of DonaldsonviIle its
deep appreciation of the fine spirit
exhibited on the evening Of the
lock entertainment. The size and
enthusiasm of the crowd which pack
ed the house proved that the people
Of this community are heart and soul
with this association in it's deter
mination to have the dam that now
closes Bayou Lafourche replaced by
locks.
We desire to extend special
thanks to the members of the High
School Glee Club, and High School
Quartette, for their beautiful rendi-
tons, and to their capable directress,
Miss Clara Stuart; to Mrs. f. B.
Lemann, for lending the : occasion
the use of her splendid voice; to
Messrs. Frank Rieger and 8. P.
Pfister, for their original and anus
ing dialogue; to Capt. Onion, for his
laughable monologue and sallies; to
M. II. Richardson, for his good in
tentions; to Chas. Delas, for his
matchless and ever-popular singing;
to Sabin Dalferes and NJ. J. Durand,
for their able management; and to
the members OF Claiborne's Orches-
ira, for their superior music and for
the excellent public spirit they show
ed on this and other occasions.
Above all, however, our thanks are
due to Louis Boston, who voluntarily
offered the theatre free of charge
for this occasion, and who has been
a consistent and untiring worker for
the locks since this movement be-
gan. Very truly,
BAYOU LAFOURCHE LOCK ASSO-
CITATION.

AN UNGENERoUs ATTITUDE.

In the Pointe Coupee Banners is
sue Of January 81 an editorial notice
was published to the effect that a
mass meeting is to be held at the
courthouse in New Roads today ito
protest against the construction of
locks at the head of Bayou Lafourche
at DonaldsOnVille, before chance be
given to the Atchafalaya Basin Levee
Board TO complete their line of leVees
along the Atchafalaya river and the
reinforcement Of the leVees along
the Mississippi river. The meeting
is called by the president of the po-
lice jury of this parish and all tax
payers are cordially invited to at
tend"
There can be no possible objection
TO the people of Pointe Coupee,
whether they be taxpayers or not,
lnanifesting concern on the subject OF
the completion and reinforcement Of
the leVee lines upon which they de-
pend for protection from overflow. In
this regard they will have not only
the sympathy, but the active assist
ance and cooperation Of the people
of all the other parishes of the
Atchafalaya district, and Of none
more cordially than those of Ascen-
sion, Assumption, Lafourche and st.
Mary, who are especially interested
in having locks substituted for the
dam that now shuts off connection
be1w cen Bayou Lafourche and the
Mississippi river.
1t is unnecessary and ungenerous,
therefore, to join any protest
against the construction OF the
locks to an expression of sentl-
ment Or even a demand for adequate
levee construction. The plain and
bounden duty Of the leVee boards
is to do both things-to provide for
the 1evees and the locks-and the
obligation is certainly as great with
regard to the locks as to the leVees,
morally, legally and otherwise.
If it should come to pass, after
making due and sincere effort = to
carry out these twin obligations,
that the task is beyond the resources
L l.sa gDasin levee board4 joint
ly or singly, it can scarcely be
doubted that a properly presented
application to the federal govern
ment for aid will meet with a
ready and generous response. It is
up to the levee boards to make a
showing in the case, and this
should be expected and called for
by the people, whether of Pointe
Coupee, West Baton Rouge, Ascen-
sion. St. Mary or any other parish.

which was well received. AS an en-

pertaining to the locks was given.

High School Quartette, composed of
Misses Ethel Werner, Ruth eau
threaux, Violet Keller and Edna Ram
irez, who sang "a Perfect Day.
with exquisite harmony Moving pic
lures Of scenes in Donaldsonville
were shown, to the great enjoyment
Of the big audience. Capt William
Onion, in a clever original mono
logue, made a hit with the crowd,
and kept everybody laughing with
his witty sallies and sparkling stories.
Charles Delas' splendid baritone
voice was heard to fine advantage
in ITO Have, to Hold, to Love-" and
again in the breezy topical song, Get
Out and Get Under" which the pop
ular singer rendered as an encore.
The entertainment was concluded
with laughable moving picture
comedy, "Freckles' Fight for His
Bride At intervals throughout the
performance yells relating to the
locks were given by high school
students stationed in the balcony.
A nice little amount was realized,
and has been turned into the treas
ury of the lock association to as
sist in carrying on the fight for the
construction of locks in Bayou La
fourche.

lmputation-if it is an imputation-
Mr.. Clark gave out this very sensible
statement:
L have cut all dinners and func-
lions except those I feel under obi
cation to attend in my official ca
pacity. I did this for two reasons:
First, because have not time to
attend them; / have toe much to do.
Second, Mr.. spofford. SO long IL
brarian Of congress. once told me
that most public men and army and
navy officers who died in Washing
ton dug their graves with their
teeth a saying which I took to
heart.
The people Of the country are
not interested to any considerable
extent about dinners in Washington,
but they are interested very much as
TO what congress does and when it
does it, and I am trying my best to
expedite business so that We can
get away from here before the frost
comes next fall ami give the country

both the country and the Democratic
