TO THE CITIZENS OF THE
PARISH.

ON next Thursday the Police
Jury will fix the Saloon License
for 1915. 1t behooves every cit.
izen to see what is done in this
respect. Last year it required
quite an effort to keep the license
at $1,000.
This year it ought to be put up
to $4,000 for many reasons. 1t
will reduce the number of the
saloons especially the undesirable
ones. It will increase the rev.
enues and help pay the frightful
expense entailed by the traffic in
caring for and Furnishing the
class of criminals made through
drink. By lessening the number
Of saloons it becomes possible in
a measure to control the traffic.
enforce the Sunday law, and
strictly uphold the law forbidding
the sale to minors. 1t is a great
step in the direction of the ulti-
mate end, the total determination
of the liquor traffic.
1t is useless to mention the
great evils connected with the
saloons. Right thinking men
know what they are and how
powerless we have been to cor
rect them. This is the time to
let your Police Juror know what
YOU want. In a Democratic form
OF government the voice of the
people ought to be heard.

When that jet was lighted thu
company had completed its con
tract with the city to furnish gas
During the week that has elapsed
since the gas was turned into the
mains a force of work men have
been busy installing gas fittings
and heating and cooking appli-
ances into the homes Of Corpus
Christi-"'Cook with gas"
The housewives in cooking fer
the most part depend upon gaso-
line. fuel that in the OPINION of
many is at least dangerous unless
great care is exercised. There
fore the housewives of Corpus
Christi with delight will turn to
the gas stoves, where the maxi
mum heat at the minimum cost,
and almost :wholely free from
danger, is available.
On December 20 the work OF
laying gas mains and the laying
of service pipes from the mains
to the property lines was started.
Since that time the company has
laid ten miles Of mains, many
miles of service pipes and the lay
ing Of additional miles of mains
has already been ordered started.
Early in last March the CON-
pany started the construction of
it's plant for the manufacturing
and storing gas. This plant Is
modern in every way, ami is
housed in a modern brick struct-
ure. The plant is located On Oso
street, Immediately west Of the
Sap freight depot.
Carburetted water gas is made
in three cylindrical steel shells
set side by side on end, connect
ed, and lined with fire brick to
withstand the high temperature.
In the first shell called the geu-
orator a fire is built and coke is
then put in at the top, the top
closed and forced draft put on
which in a short time causes the
coke to ignite and come to a white
heat. The waste heat gases pass
into the second shell called the
carburetter and heat the fire
brick, then pass into the third
shell called the superheater heat
that to temperature Of twelve
to fourteen hundred degrees
Fahrenheit and pass off to the at.
alosphere through the stack.
) When the three shells are heat
ed to the proper temperature, as
Indicated by the electric therome.
ter on the wall, the forced draft
is shut off, the outlet to the stack
Is closed and dry steam at a
pressure Of one hundred pounds
per square inch is let into the
generator. This dry steam pass
ing through the white hot coke
forms pure water gas which will
burn with blue flame and has no

THE TRUCKER s MEETING
LAST FRIDAY.

The meeting being held just
at the time we were busily en-
gagged IN oil office We We're com
PEELED to postpone mention IF it.
1t was one Of the most enthusiastic
agric ultural meetings ever held
in New Iberia since the Associa-
ton was formed. Mr.. w. L..
Grant who is assisting the Asso
citation in obtaining markets
made a few remarks that were
well received and showed his inter-
est in the welfare of our farmers
in general. Mr.. Bernard, the
Secretary of the New Iberia
Chamber Of Commerce who had
also been invited to address the
farmers stated that before dis
cussing the Trucking question, he
wished to remind and advise all
those present who were engaged
in general farming that this was
the time to stress the hog raising
and live stock industry as the
price of meat would continue to
soar and the best price to be OBJ
tanned for corn and forage crops
was by selling it as meat.
Taking up the raising and mar
keting Of truck he stated he
wished to correct an impression
that seemed to prevail about
finding a market Markets
are not found, the market finds
the producer. 1t is out of the
question to think that the men
engaged in the produce business
would lose their time with New
iberia or any other point unless
there was truck raised in suffi-
cient quantities to justify them
coming here or having their local
agent. Millions Of people in the
North have to be fed. They are
fed by people who buy from truck
ing sections and resell to them.
these people are engaged in the
business as a business proposition
and will certainly not have to be
invited to enter the field here ii
we raise quantities sufficient to
make it worth their while. They
are not interested in a handful
and there is no danger of Iberia
Parish flooding the market even
though all the Parish were de-
voted to the industry. But he
did not advise planting any one
crop to the exclusion of all 9TH
ers, on the contrary diversified
ton is what is needed. To illus
trate the market question: A
Canning Factory would be es-
tablished here, but a Canning
Factory would have to have the
assurance of truck in sufficient
quantities to justify the operat-
Ing Of such plant here. The
thing needed was truck in quanti-
res AMI truck Nth qua';-y. The
ether ad 'antage of truck in
was that it could be
shipped in carload lots and the
farmers receive the benefits of
carload rates while if only a
handful was raised local rates
would prevail and the profits
would be considerably eaten up.
Mr.. Bernard stated he wished
to be very frank in discussing
the question and to cause no mis-.
of facts. A man
could not be a successful trucker
and neglect his work. It was

NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTION.

As the end approaches. mtefes
IN the Third Congressional Dis
trict contest grows in intensity
Claims and counter claims III
dulged in by both parties fill th'
adhearance of each with ful
confidence Of success; While thu
more spOrtive add to the Zest Of
the campaign by indulgence in al
manners of bets. Before we
again go to press, we shall have
been fully informed of the tinaI
outcome; and we sincerely be
Iieve. that ours will be the pleas
ant duty to record a Democratic
victory and the selection of Henri
Gueydan as successor to Bob
Broussard. With an abiding
faith in the intelligence and man
hood of the Third District. we
feel sure that the voters will not
be led astray by the vain prom
Uses Of false prophets who seek,
by promising to re-establish the
tariff on our products, to lead us
to adopt a party Of unknown and
untried qualities. A party so
broad in it's views. that it readily
adopts the principles of the Dem
ocrats in one section. the Repub-
ican in another. the Prohibition
ist elsewhere: and even embraces
the cause of woman suffrage
where advisable. That a repre-
sentative Of such a party could
accomplish any reforms or secure
relief for our section is so far
fetched an opinion that we fail
to see how it's leaders hope to
impress it upon the thinking vot-
ers. There are and can never be
but two parties in this country.
The Democratic and the Republic
can. these have existed since the
foundation of the Government
and will continue to rule its
destinies until the end Of time.
The ambition of some individual,
or the disappointment Of some
other, from time to time give rise
to weak effort to establish a new
party only to annoy and harass
certain localities and speedily to
die with it's first defeat. This we
believe the inevitable fate Of the
Bull Moose in this District. Too
much is due to the Democratic
Party for us to abandon it at
this time. For one-third of a
century, we of Louisiana have
been governed by it's wise poll
eles and whatever degree of adj
vancement attained, has been
through it's efforts. Our repre-
sentatives in Congress have been
Democrats, and to them is due
such favors as have been showed
to us: and even now, we are in
debted to our Democratic repre-
sentative, Bob Broussard for the
establishment of a Demonstration
Farm in this Parish whose scope
of usefulness will far outweigh
the evils Of the tariff reduction.
With these thoughts on the eve
of the election, we again say that
we feel sure that the voters of
the Third District are not to be
led astray; and that they will re.
turn a Democrat to Congress next
Tuesday.

Q a . TORIA
THE PROGRESSIVE MEETING

The Progressives of this Parish
held very large meeting on
Thursday night at the Elks The
atre. There were members Of
their party present from all over
the Parish, more especially To-
reauwille and Jeanerette. Judge
Martin who had been billed for
an address was called home owing
to an unfortunate affection which
befell his brother-in-law. We
understand that he will make no
more speeches during the cam
paign, Mr.. Gueydan, the stand
ard bearer of the Democratic
party has also agreed to make no
more speeches during the re-
mainder Of the campaign. Mr..
Alfred Renoudet of this City pre-
sided over the meeting, introduce
ing Hon. John NJ. Parker of New
Orleans as the first speaker after
which Mr.. Harry Fitzpatrick Of
the same city followed. Hon.
Edwin Broussard one of Iberia s
favored sons came next in his
usual forcible manner. Mr.. w.
e. Howell of Lafourche then
spoke for fully an hour holding
the attention of the audience to
the last. From the standpoint of
the Progressives, the meeting was
a success. but still the general
impression prevails that Iberia
Parish will remain true to the old
Democratic party on Nov. Sd.
