JUDGE DUPRE.

Our good friend Judge Gilbert L. Du-
pre-. one of the valued representatives from
ST. Landry to the state legislature, must
have allowed his temper to run away with
him when he read our editorial utterances
on the recent utterances Of the legislature.
Mr.. Dupre evidently forgets that in
speaking Of the legislature the Clarion re-
ferred to it as a collective body of men and
not of individual legislators; consequently
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-08-15
Resents Our Criticism of The
Legislature.

To the Editor of the Clarion: It has
been for years past and is now the prevail
ing fashion, for the newspapers country
ones especially to belittle the sessions OF
the Legislature.
You have Joined in the chorus when IN
the last issue Of your paper you say:
We trust that the special session of
the Legislature which Governor Hall antici-
pates calling. will be more successful than
the recent regular session, which worried
itself more about racing and other forms of
gambling than about the public's interest. =
Inasmuch as ! was a member of that
hard worked body, I propose to resent the
unjust imputation levelled at us. An editor
who writes that the last Legislature "wor-
ried itself more about racing and other
forms of gambling than about the public's
interest" is densely ignorant of what
actually occurred.
Horse racing in this state as had here
.tofore existed, and as proposed at the last
session of the Legislature, was put to sleep
to the great qualification of ninety per cent
of the country papers, and in response to
the best citizenship of New Orleans, includ-
ing the clergy of all denominations.
It defeated any number of measures,
the purpose of which was to increase the
salaries of present officials. It defeated
several measures, the purpose of which was
to create new offices.
It defeated the Administration measures
IT, - &c --IsI
taxes.
1t defeated the Baby bond measure, !"
the purpose of which was to infict upon the
taxpayers the payment of repudiated obliga-
aggregating about a million dollars.
If that body had done nothing else but
defeat the above attempted raids upon the
Treasury. it would have deserved the graft
tude Of the taxpayers of this state. And
yet we find you, Mr.. Editor, Ginning in with
in attempts to belittle and ridieule an
over-worked body Of men standing in the
breach fighting the taxpayers battle against
increased taxation.
Yes, and some Of the gentlemen doing
were doing so at a great sacrifice of
their business. in return for five dollars al
lay.
am quite certain if you but knew the
amount of work these gentlemen performed
With an eye single to the public good, you
would revise your judgement. Whether
you do or not / am not going to submit to your
attempt to belittle US in the face of our ac-
,omplished labors.
Economy was the WatchWord of myself
md others who helped defeat the above
egislation, and we are not going to be ridi
uled by a lot of newspaper men who DON'T
now what they are writing about.

Our friend Bill .Krebs. /,

Our friend Bill .Krebs, of the Lake
Charles American Press, has been conferred
the highest honor at the hands of his news
paper brothers, by being elected president
Of the Louisiana State Press Association.
We feel confident that under the leadership
of such an able newspaper man as Mr..
Krebs the association will prosper as it has
never before.

Now that the city has taken heed of our
frequent editorials on the Main street paw
ing question it is to be hoped that they will
continue doing the right thing towards the
people of Opelousas by having the public
water tank, which sits or the courthouse
square, properly covered, SO as to assure best
possible sanitary condition. It will only
cost a few dollars to have this piece of work
done, which would most probably save the
lives of some of our citizens.

Whilst Calcasieu has obtained about two
million dollars worth of advertisement out
of its splendid highway system, st. Landry
is getting it's pro rata for the little sum of
one hundred and forty-seven thousands
being expended in the same direction.
Nevertheless we should emulate the ex-
ample of those Calcasieu taxpayers by vol
unfairly taxing ourselves sufficiently topave
the principal highways of st. Landry from
Opelousas to the various parish lines.

VIM. c.

Recently we published a succinct ac-
count of the object and purposes OF the
Southwestern Louisiana Development Bu-
reau which pointed out the underlying prin-
cipie of it's organization, with an account OF
some Of it's achievements, under the able
leadership Of Mr.. Chevis.
Since publishing this we are informed
that Mr.. Chevis induced the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry at Washington, D. c., to sta
ton an agent in Jefferson Davis parish,
where his services will be available to the
stock industry of the sections within the
jurisdiction of the Southwestern Louisiana
Development Bureau.
We trust that the perusal of the article
published recently will induce business and
professional men, planters, farmers, poll
ticians and clerks to take out membership
in this organization to the tune Of $40.
God helps those who help themselves,
and if we expect to progress lying supinely
on our backs doing nothing, or entertaining
the hookworm club with learned disserta-
tons of regional banks, and the sugar tar
if, instead of getting busy. quit knocking
but continue kicking until we kick the odor
out of the goat of our indifference and in.
aptitude, we will retrogress and be swept
into the oblivion Of failure.
In no way can the business interests,
whether of field or farm, dairy or shop, be
better advanced than under the Southwest
ern Louisiana Development Bureau. which
10 q concrete, well organized and intelligently
led effort to coordinate the material inter-
est of the Attakapas country.
IL one-half Of the things Mr.. Chevis
has accomplished had been performed it
would warrant US to support him in his
worthy efforts. Let Opelousas and st. Lam
dry show its appreciation and its faith by
it's work; let our banks emulate the other
banks of the district represented in the
Bureau on the basis of the following sched-
ule:
Banks with combined capital and sur.
plus of
$500, 900 and over 10 memberships 500.
$780, 600 and over 5 memberships $50.
S5O, 000 and over 8 memberships $50.
$1,000 and over 2 memberships $50.
S25,O00 and less l membership $50.
Individual memberships are only $40
and every merchant, planter, or man of
affairs who can, should join with the pro-
citizens of the parishes of Acadia, !
Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, !
Evangeline, Jeff Davis, Lafayette, Iberia I
Mary, st, Landry, st. Martin and Yer 6
Million.
The officers Of the Bureau are among J
ne best known and most progressive men |
Southwest Louisiana, and the quality and !
haracter of the directorate should certain $
Y attract the attention of the public to the {
oJect and purposes of the Bureau and Sc i
nre the membership necessary to keep up {
good work, at a time when the %unrival- {
d resources of this section are being adver- $
-sed so extremely by the visiting editors,
) that when prospective emigrants and
capitalists come in our midsts they will find
n organization reliable and equipped to
urnish them, with the data and counsel :
nat they viii need in establishing homes !,
nd industries that will have an important v
in the upbuilding of the Attaka- :

STQCkMEN MEET
 HERE OCTOBER 1 Official Call for Convention of Arkansas Association
 Is Issued.
U R G E $ ATTENDANCE
President J. w. McCIeish Writes County Judges to Appoint Ad. diti0nal Delegates to Pine
 Bluff Meeting.

Little Rock. Sept 21.-Official cail was made yesterday by President J. w. McCleish for the fall meeting of the Arkansas Stock Growers associa- tion, to be held at Pine Bluff on Thursday and Friday. October and 2. Secretary John c. Small has mailed sociation and has written each county judge in the state requesting the ap- pointment of delegates from all of the seventy-five Arkansas counties.
 "As president of the association says President McCleish in his an- nouncement of the meeting, q wish to express the hope that there will be a full attendance, not only of the members but of all persons in the state who are interested in the live stock industry. We are confronted with shortage of food for the Amer ican people and every day we hear the cry of the high cost of living. At the same time we are being forced to sacrifice our cotton. What are we going to do to meet these conditions There is only one thing to do. Let every farmer be certain to raise SAAooSA AOCu 1Ol AIo oloOh dlo CAOuSh food to supply the people of the South. Then we may raise all the cotton we can work, and prices will adjust themselves on a satisfactory basis.
 'fNever has there been such an op- portunity for the farmer of the South to establish permanent prosperity" continued President McCleish. We should act quickly, and the main purpose of the fall meeting of the Arkansas Stock Growers association is to discuss the best methods by which the cotton farmer of this state may change his system so as to in clude, with reduced acreage of cot ton, the growing of feed crops and the raising of live stock. There isn't a farmer in the state but could afford to invest few dollars for the trip to Pine Bluff on October 1 and ?. There we can hear lectures from some of the best posted men in the country, men who have had experience in feed- ing and breeding and in the fighting of the disease pests which have hin- dered stock. raising in the past. therefore ask every stock man in the state to come. We owe this to our children and to our great live live stock growing state.''

PROGRAM AT THE HIGH
Students Hear Addresses by Pr0mi. nent MimiSters-High School Classes Choose
 Officers.

Despite the fact that few of the Jewish children answered roll call at \the opening session of the Pine Bluff public school yesterday because of the Jewish holiday, the attendance re- corded was a record-breaker and the enrolment bids fair to be much larg- CT than any previous year.
 Because of the failure of the South western Telephone & Telegraph com pany to make telephone connections with the various schools, Superintend- ent Junius Jordan was unable to se- cure the enrolment at the varlous schools yesterday, but will make an effort to do so today. The enrolment at the Sixth avenue school was 4O1, exclusive of the Jew ish children. The initial days at tendance last year was APO, but since that time 15O pupils have been sent to the Pine street school. This shows a practical increase of more than 100.
 At the High School.
 At the High school the nine months study began in earnest after a me program, consisting of musical selec- tions and speeches. Class periods were arranged and all pupils were as signed seats.
 The program was opened by invo- cation by Rev. James Thomas, after which he read a passage from the first chapter of St. John. Rev. Watson also made short address to the pu- pills urging them to be obedient and studious.
 Several selections were given by the High school seXtette, composed of Misses Ernestine Norris, Pauline Ben nett. Norma Crist and Ethel Burbank; Edwin Howell and carl Hamlin.
 Encouraging addresses were also made by Rev. Hays, former president of Henderson-Brown college; Rev. Sage and Rev. Holman. All of the ministers urged the children to pre- pare themselves that they will be ready when they are called to take their places in life.
 Classes Elect.
 After the rendition of the program the classes met and elected the fol- lowing officers for the next school year:
 Senior class-Edwin Howell, presi- dent; Annie Maui, vice president; Tartell Toney, secretary and treasur- CT.
 Junior class-Felix Smart, presi- dent; Virginia Crutcher. vice presi- dent: Lynn Kconce, secretary and treasurer.
 Sophomore-Josephi Martin, pres. ident; Frances Howell, vice president; Eunice Norris, secretary and treasur CT.
