NEW ORLEANS AND DIVORCE,

Gee, whiz, just think Of it, New Or
leans has a record Of one divorce for every
four marriages contracted during the year
1913! What a record! Why, Chicago.
which place has the honor of being termed
The hell on earthr" had a record of only
one divorce to every seven marriages, New
York one to every twenty.
New Orleans people had better stick to-
gether when they decide to get-together.
Perhaps the Crescent City might get the
'unenviable reputation of Reno, Nevada,
since the laws of that state are more severe
on the would be-separators from bed and
board" then heretofore.
It's a good thing that Opelousas and
other such peaceful communities can Offset
the New Orleans record, thereby showing
that Louisiana people, in general, are not il.
clined to divorce.

WALTERS WILL HAVE FAIR
TRIAL.

1t is ridiculous on the part Of one tc
even suggest that w. C.. Walters, alleged
kidnapper of Bobbie Dunbar, should obtain
a change of veneri. The Clarion feels Ger.
tain that he will get as fair a trial in Ope-
lousas as he would in the most competent
court in the country. The people here are
iaw-abiding citizens and would not take it
into their own hands to string up Walters,
as people in other sections of the United
States might do under the circumstances.
# Walters is guilty of the crime of kid
mapping there is but one sentence to be i'm
posed upon him and that is death. If he
is not guilty he will certainly not be mo-
Tested by the citizens of 0pelousas.
In justice to the people of 0pelousas the
Clarion does not see why Walters should
not be tried in the very home of Bobbie
Dunbar, whom Walters is alleged to have
stolen from Swayze lake over a year ago.
No one here wants the itinerant's scalp for
the fun of it. There are no savages here
and Walters will be meeted out with justice
from the very time the case is begun until
the jury will have rendered its verdict.

PARISH HEALTH OFFICERS.

The officers of the parish board OF
health are to be congratulated for their
work throughout the parish, in improving
the sanitary condition of st. Landry. At
Lewisburg, where there were several cases
of small pox recently President Lastrapes
Immediately attended to these cases and
took precautions that the disease sdould not
spread, especially among the school children.
During the week nearly all Of the school
children were vaccinated and now the coun-
try around Lewisburg has been assured thai
there is no longer any danger.
1t must be gratifying to the state board
of health, especially, to learn that the OF
fcers in St. Landry are doing their duty.
It is also gratifying to the public that the
men connected with the parish board OF
health are endeavoring to do what is right
towards the people of St. Landry.

SOME SOUTHWESTERN RE-
ELECTIONS.

Too many of us put the emphasis at the
wrong pointt fritter time and money on
things of little value, while the world
surges with big things all about us. The
test of every project that offers should be
its worth-whileness.
That is the test we wish you to apply to
the Southwestern Louisiana Louisiana De.
velopment Bureau. Do you think it is worth
while? The test is simple and unmistaka-
BILE.
Can thirteen parishes working separ-
ately put the power behind any movement
that can be placed behind it by thirteen
parishes with the strength of all united as
one? In the parish of Lafayette a small
band of farmers have organized for the pur-
pose of planting each a few acres Of Irish
potatoes, the aggregate being several acres.
They are to plant at the same time. culti-
vate, harvest and sell their crop together
and, by acting in harmony throughout, they
expect to command the attention OF the
buyers and get better prices for their crop
than they could hope to get should each
farmer proceed @on his own hook" And
they will do better.
Conducted on a large scale, with the
farmers of the thirteen parishes %co-operat-
ing along all the agricultural lines includ-
ing dairying, live stock breeding and boost
ing roads, drainage, better marketing facil-
tiles, better homes, more farms, better agri-
cultural and closer cooperation, the result
can scarcely be overstated.
Is it worth the while to do these things?
Is it worth while to manifest civic pride?
Is it worth while to make this section hum
with busy life and throb with potential
activities? If you believe this, come and
cast your lot with the men who are backing
their faith in their home section with their
money, their brains, and their active efforts.
Put your enthusiasm and all the power
of cooperation effort behind Southwest
Louisiana Development Bureau, and we
will soon make it the greatest section on
this planet.

THE DEMOCRACY.

Now that the Wilson administration has
passed the Currency and the tariff Bills, the
problem which confronts the Democracy is
Rural Credits, and the final breaking up Of
the Trusts. When this will have been done
and the Mexican war brought to a success
full end, to which all indications now point,
since the Finance Secretary has resigned
on account of the Huerta Government being
unable to pay off the interest on its bonded
debts, the Democracy will have a lease on
the political affairs Of the United State for
the next twenty-five years, at least, and
Woodrow Wilson will be proclaimed the
greatest of presidents.

business abilities. I authorize
you to affix my name to it;
though, as / have already ex-
planned, that is unnecessary.

to use that type ! shall not COM

The editor Of the Clarion received q

The editor Of the Clarion received a
small package from St. Charles College,
Grand Ceteau, this week, which contained
a sample of the Strawberries being raised
at that place. The berries are without
doubt the finest ever seen in this section of
Louisiana. and the fact that they have
|ripened so early in the season goes to show
that this parish can raise practically any
thing worth the trouble at any time of the
year.
If the farmers here would devote a lit
tie of their time, in the winter months,
when the lands lay idle. agreat quantity Of
this food commodity could be used here,
without having to import same from other
sections of this country, besides several
tons could easily be shipped into other
states.
Every one here KNOWS that the farm
lands in st. Landry bear practically nothing
in the winter months, for the simple reason
that they are not worked. Various winter
plants could be cultivated with success,
whilst the farmers are waiting for the time
to plant their cotton, corn or rice. Why
not try strawberries, for instance, and see
if we cannot succeed as well as the Jesuit
at Grand Coteau?

THE BARROMEAN.

edited by the students of st. Chrrles Col
Iege, made its first appearance during the
holidays. The interesting periodical is in
deed a source of pride, not only to the
student body, but also to the faculty and
friends of the venerable old institution. 1t
is, without doubt, one of the finest college
magazines ever cotton out by any college or
university in the South.

A Correction.

Opelousas, La, Jan. z, 1914.
MIR. Editor: In the comnunica-
ton that you kindly published
last week, in which | attempted
to show that Loeb is not a fit
man for mayor, the following
paragraph which contains a
grave error, appears:
Four years ago, when Loeb be-
gan to take interest in municipal
affairs, he was emphatic in his
demand for a reduction of salaries
and a decrease in the still excess
sive cost of our city government.
He then announced for Mayor
and was elected. At the first
meeting Of the new Board, in
May, 1910, the Mayors salary,
which four years before had
been boosted to one thousand
dollars, was unanimously fixed
at six hundred. The salary of
the Street Commissioner, which
had been boosted to the same
outrageous figure, was fixed at
sos per month despite a substi-
tute offered by Loeb that it be
fixed at $50. The Clerks salary
was fixed at 5000, despite a sub
stitute offered by Loeb that it be
fixed at $500. So that. in some
degree, he was carrying out
some of his campaign promises,
although the Marshal's $720
salary and excessive fees as well
as other abuses, were not touch
ed.
The error consists in the state
ment: He then announced for
Mayor and was elected i
should have read: He then an
nounced for Alderman" The
error was mine, however, mere
oversight-as you strictly follow
ed the copy. But everybody
knows that Loeb was elected
Mayor only once-in 1912, not
1910. It was not therefore as
Mayor that he made the record
briefly outlined in the paragraph
quoted above, but as Alderman.
In 1910, when he was Alderman,
he seemed to think that 5000
even 800 for the Mayor and
$60O-even $500 for the Street
Commissioner was enough. In
1912, when he became Mayor,
that officials salary went up to
$3.50 and the Street Commissions
er's to 5000, and nobody's salary.
as far as / know, went down.
The people can form their own
conclusions-and see for them.
selves now brazenly they have
been buncoed.
As to Loeb's business abilities,
which he has so loudly boasted
of, / land others) propose t.
show in future issues how hol.
low. false and empty are his
claims in that respect.

Of landing in the pententiary for a few years
is somewhat Of a job. But some burglars
performed this feat right in the city CO.
