message in favor of repeating coastwse exemption would be
sent to congress- but the very day after he had held confer

announced that he would orally deliver such message That
message contained the significant reference to oher matters
even greater dcacy and consequence The inference
unavoidable that his auson Mexico The natural con-
cuson that what Mr. Wilson learned from Sir Lionel as to
conditions in Mexico impressed him with the early probability
that he would need British support of Mexican policies and
British aid in preventing interference by other powers and
that in order to incline Great Britain give this aid he pro-
posed repeal Of toll exemption Finding ourselves unable to
maintain the Monroe doctrine in face of European hostility and
japanese menace to take England ally

This is characteristic Oregonan trc-to make fasehood

honest statement of the facts would put the matter in an entire
different light Senator Jones did make certain statements

TALK OF REBUILDING
People of Crowley Urging
Establishment Of Sanitarum
Over Ruins.

The Crowley people, that is
the progressive element of thai
prosperous city, are endeavoring
to once more establish the Grow
ley sanitaruim, which was RACED
to the ground a few weeks ago.
DR.. Ellis and a few other promi-
nent physicians and citizens of
Crowley have been working with
this end in view since the day
the sanitarium was destroyed by
fire.
The people of Crowley realize
the Importance Of a hospital and
it is thought that they will de-
wise some means by which suffi-
cient money can be raised to es-
tablish a sanitarium even better
than the one burned.

Of Street Commissioner up to a

OF Street Commissioner up to a
few years before.
Such is the plain, unvarnished
tale Of Loeb's duplicity, hypocrisy
and false pretense. Should any
honest and well meaning man be
disposed to favor his reelection,
let him pause and think twice
before he casts a vote which will
practically and truly be an en-
dorsement of that unsavory, that
abominable record. Let him
rather cast a vote which will be
a rebuke to an unfaithful public
service and a warning to all fu-
ture offenders that the self-re-
speeding citizenship of Opelousas
will not tolerate or condone such
fragrant and atrocious turpitude.

Methodist Christmas Tree.

The Methodist Sunday School
and the Junior Epworth League
gave a real Christmas Tree at
the Church on Christmas eve,
and despite the inclement wealth
err a large number of the child
ren, and old folks as we'll. were
on hand to greet Santa Claus,
who was .impersonatedeby Bro.
Holland, who, by-the-Way, made
an ideal Santa.
A delightful program, consist
ing of songs, recitations and
music, was rendered by the
children, after which Santa
Claus made his appearance. and
delivered a nice little talk to the
children on the reason for cele-
brating Christmas and its mean
ing to the civilized nations Of
the world. The presents and
candies were then distributed to
the eager children in whose
faces JOY and gladness were
manifest. The true Christmas
spirit was in evidence through
out the affair, and the noise of
the Tin horns and other Christ
mas heralds proclaimed the fact
that the day of days was near at
hand.
This was the first Christmas
tree given to the little folks of
the church in a good many years,
and its success will make it, it is
to be hoped, a source of enjoy
ment for them with each recur-
ring Christmastide. Thanks are
due to the ladies and gentlemen
to whose untiring efforts the
success Of the occasion is due.

OPELOUSAS.LAWTELL
ROAD TO Be DRAINED
Bad Stretch Near Judge
Gosselin's To Be Graded
And Drained.

Judge S. J. Gosselin, of Law
tell, was in this city during the
week and stated that the people
in his neighborhood had made uE
their minds to drain that portion
of the road leading to LawtelI
from the Judges place, a dis
lance of about two miles west.
ward DIR. Paul Foster, likeMr.
Adoplhe Guillory, another mem,
Der of the police jury, induced
his fellowcitizens to drain this
bad spot by assuring them that he
would see to it that the police
jury defray half of the expenses.
Mr.. Adolphe Guillory has al
ready raised, by the aid of the
police jury and his own personal
money, more than half the neces-
sary funds to carry on the work
of drainage at Andrepont. The
remaining portion of the funds
will soon be secured and the
drainage out there will be well
under way before many days.
The Mallet police juror made the
same proposition to the people
living in his ward, and those
citizens of the Sixth Ward who
live close to Judge Gosselin have
seized this opportunity to have
that stretch west of the Frisco
crossing we'll drained.
For the last three months this
piece of road. leading from Opel
ousas to Lawtell, has been i'm
passable; it is now impossible
and will be in the same condition
three months hence, il the lands
around there are not thoroughly
drained, as well as the road, for a
distance Of approximately two
miles. It can be imagined how
inconvenient it i'd to have a bad
stretch of road on such an i'm
portant highway in this parish.
Those from here on surrounding
country DESTROYS of going to Law
tell have to go by various roads,
making the distance from this
city to Lawtell much greater.
It is hoped that the farmers in
the neighborhood of Judge Gosse-
lin will seize this opportunity of
draining their country and that
it will not be long before hume
rous impossible mud holes along
this road will have made their
disappearance forever.

Obituary..

IT must be sweet in childhood
to give back the spirit to it's
Maker, ere it has grown familiar
with the paths of sin and
soWn, to garner up its bitter
fruits"
On Tuesday, November 18th,
1913, in the S~anitarium at Alex
andria, La, there passed out OF
this life the spirit of Juanita
Bealle, only child of Elizabeth
Deare and Wilkin [. Bealle, of
Macland, in this parish, death
resulting from diphtheria sequen-
tia.
Born September 18th. 1908, she
had just reached that age at
which children are most lovely
and lovable and the passing of
her sunny hair and laughing face
has left a very barren empty
pace in the hearts of all in the
village of Macland. Culling alike
the ripened grain and the flow
ers that grow between the grim
Reaper goes his resistless way
among US; and since his course
cannot be resisted let US be glad
that the rays of sunlight come
rather than bemoan the clouds
between. and be thankful for
the years of love during which
our lives were enriched in watch
ing the unfolding Of this tender
bud. thinking only of the joys
hat were and which but for her
never have been.

ment they sent on shore sixty tons Of metal, and,
strange to say, wounded only man, since dead.
We have picked up fifteen tons, including
that was taken up out of the water and the two
anchors that we got. We took up and buried four
poor fellows that were hove overheard out of the
sinking barge.
"Since peace the officers of the Despatch brig
have been on shore here. They acknowledge they
had twenty-one killed and fifty badly wounded,
and further say had we continued our fire any
longer they should have struck for they were in
sinking condition, for the wind then blew at south
west, directly into the hsrbor Before the am
munition arrived it shifted to the north and blew
out of the harbor"
This curiously one-sided affair appealed TO the
sense of humor of Freneau, the balladist as it
doubtless did to many others. That a British
squadron under highly experienced officer should
be unable TO do any serious damage TO a good
sized town stuck point right under his nose
in the course OF threed days visit has its funny
side for the Yankees.
