THE WALTERS TRIAL.

In view Of the intense feeling that al
one time existed and the widely expressed
fear that he might be denied the benefit OF
a fair trial, it is gratifying to have from
counsel of w. G. Walters assurance of their
belief that the authorities of st. Landry are
doing everything that might reasonably. be
expected of them to enable the alleged kid
napper of the Dunbar child to defend him
self against the Indictment brought against
him.
The police jury has provided funds that
will make it possible for Julia Anderson.
one of the most important witnesses, to be
brought from North Carolina and other wit
nesses from points in Mississippi to appear
at the trial. Moreover, the court has ap-
pointed Mr.. E.. B. Dubuisson, one of the
ablest members Of the st. Landry bar and a
gentleman of unimpeachable integrity, to
appear with Walters own counsel in his de-
tense.
At the time of the arrest of Walters a
great deal of prejudice existed against him;
but whether or not there has been any
change of sentiment in st. Landry with re-
spect to the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused, there is no longer any ground for ap-
pretending any violence toward him, what
ever the outcome of the trial.
The trial will be watched with a great
deal Of interest and the hope will be general
that every right of the prisoner will be pre-
served and thai the strange mystery which
has surrounded the case will be cleared

PARISH HIGHWAYS.

We read these days about the con-
struction of model highways in Calcasieu.
Caddo and East Baton Rouge parishes and
wish that st. Landry might have some OF
the public spirit existing among its thou
sands of citizens. When we review the his
tory of Louisiana and note that st. Landry
led the country parishes in population and
prominence for many many years and notice
that at this period of advanced civilization
we are tagging back Of parishes, which were
a few years ago only beginning to reach out
for settlers.
Calcasieu parish, which was at one
time part of st. Landry. has shown the way
to build model roads. The citizens of that
parish have taught a lesson to the people OF
st. Landry, which should be followered
here. We need good roads and should dc
like Calcasieu and not hesitate to vote a tax
to get model highways.

THE PARISH FAIR.

The reorganization of the st. Landry
Parish Fair will take place sometime next
month and the Clarion hopes that the PEG.
pie Of Opelousas and st. Landry will be
ready and willing to contribute their enthu-
siasm, energy, intellect, and if it needs be,
their money, in order to make the fair one
of the greatest success in the state.
St. Landry needs a parish fair. The
two fairs which were held in this city have
donea world of good to promote better and
more scientific farming. Other parishes
have annual parish fairs. Why moist Lam
dry?
Are we to stand back and wit
ness all of the other parishes in the state
lead in the rapid progress of Louisiana?
Can not we do as we'll or better than
our less fortunate sister parishes? Are we
to be called the most retrogressive section
in this state? Surely st. Landry, with its
forty thousand inhabitants and the best
farming lands in the country, can not afford
to be luke warm on such an important sub.
ject.
Let our leading citizens assist those, who
have enough public spirit about them to
agitate the parish fair. These progressive
men cannot accomplish such a feat without
the assistance of others.

THE DEVOPMENT BUREAU.

The Southwestern Louisiana Develop.
ment has been dealing a great deal with the
culture of sweet potatoes. The manager,
Mr.. Chevis, has devoted a great portion OF
his time, telling the farmers of this section
of the state the profit which can be made
by raising sweet potatoes, and it is to be
hoped that the planters of st. Landry are
following his sound advices.
The Bureau is a God-send to this coun-
try and there is no doubt that it has done
untold good to this section. The Clarion is
firm in its belief that within the next twelve
months the Bureau, with the able leader
ship Of Mr.. Chevis, will point the way to
prosperity to the farmers of Southwest
Louisiana.
Mr.. Chevis is always glad to give any
information on any agricultural subjects to
the people of Southwest Louisiana and the
people of St. Landry would do we'll to take
into consideration his talks on various farm
topics.

A FISH HACTHERY.

Congress will no doubt pass the Frisor
bill, which proved for IA government fish
hactheries, costing $50, 900. Louisiana vii
be one of the states which will have a gov.
eminent hatchery. But the question Of
a location for the hatchery will no doubt be
a serious thing for State Fish Commissioner
]. A. Dayries to decide.
Several parishes have made application
to Mr.. Dayries to have the government fish
hatchery situated within their boundaries,
IL the bill is passed.
What parish in the state can offer a
better location for a fish hatchery than st.
Landry? The Clarion in an editorial about
one year ago called the attention of the peo-
pie of this parish, as well as our distinguish
ed Representative, DR.. i. Lazaro, that any
one of the lakes between this city and Mel
vile would be an ideal place for a hatchery.
We again re-iterate the subject matter of
our editorial Of a year ago, and state that
ST. Landry should have the government fish
hatchery. But we will not obtain it if we
expect the Louisiana Fish Commission to
come to this parish and simply make us a
present of it-such generous acts do not
happen any longer among state affairs. We
have to show our merits-if we do that, the
Clarion is confident that one of the many
lakes il this parish will be chosen as the To-
cation for the government fish hatchery.

Now when it is considered that the
writer lived out of the City and yet realized
the necessity for this improvement, / cannot
understand why anyone living within our
midst. and deriving the benefits therefrom,
should Kick. Good Streets, the same as
good roads are a necessity. / hope to live
long enough to see good streets in every
town in this parish, good roads throughout
the entire parish. This is a forward move
ment. It may appear to some revolutionary,
but inaslnuch as revolutions never go back
wards we are revolving in the right direc-
ton.
While on the subject of good roads per-
NIT me to advise the Police Jury. | am of
the opinion that this body should build good
roads, or none at all. Il they are are not
supplied with funds sufficient to build 5
miles, let them use the funds on hand to
build or 2 miles. and maintain the remain
ing portions under the present system. If
they will build one mile of good road, it will
be an object lesson. It will be an argument
of itself. A demonstration of what good
roads mean. If on the contrary they at
tempt to build 5 or 6 miles and do this in an
imperfect manner, they destroy confidence
in the minds of many of their ability to
build a good road when this forward move
ment will receive a great setback.
invoke the Earl of Chesterfeld's mot
to to the effect: Whatever is worth doing
at all, is worth doing WELL"
I insist Upon this, and the necessity for
good roads will become so apparent that
the 'mossback" and Kicker will have to re-
tire sad and detected before this advancing
tide of civilization.
You must however evidence the fact
that you can build good roads. To do this,
you must build them properly from the be-
ginning. One mile at a time if needs be.

worth doing at all. is worth doing Weii''
and act accordingly. we will obtain good
roads, slowly but surely.

POINTED

The paved streets are already receiv

citizens Of st. Landry. The old adage 0.

can earn the thousand dollar reward offered
by Governor Colquit for the return on Amer

Senator Ransdell has endorsed women
suffrage, whilst Senator Thornton is bitter
against the bill. It's funny anyhow how

is no doubt that both senators will get their
share of "~cursing out" when they set their
foot on Louisiana soil.
Crowley and other towns in Acadia and

rice market, but we are willing to wager
that Opelousas will be among the leaders

acres that will be planted this year.

Representative James B. Aswell, of the
