WE hope that the Judiciary Committee
of the House may De fully informed as TO
The animuS behind the charges that have
been made against Judge Aston q. Day
ton with a view 10 his impeachment.
The Register has received information,
which we regard as reliable, that the in
fuence really at the bottom ofthe charges
against Judge Dayton is that OF the bar
tenders union and individual liquor men
in this and other States. Judge Dayton
has long been strenuous foe OF the Gq-
uor traffic, and has from the bench and
elsewhere denounced in the most severe
languagethe men who carry on the wicked
business. The whiSkey men have been
threatening TO "get" him, and It is said
that they are the source OF the present
movement to have him removed from the
bench.
The temperance people Of West Viz
ginia ought 10 stand by Judge Dayton.

Judge Dupre's Suggestions.
Opelousas. La. Jan. %. 1914.

Opelousas, La, Jan. "a, 1914.
Editor Of the Clarion: am delighted
that DR.. Bowling has stirred hornets nest
in exposing conditions found in the Jail,
courthouse and public square. Some one
always has to Bell the Cat and DIR. BOWL
ing appears to delight in doing this. That's
what he is paid for. Others are similarly
compensated, who are blind to their duties.
We have a parish health officer, parish
board of health, city board of health with a
president whom / am informed receives a
salary of fifty dollars a month and health
inspectors, well paid, / presume for their
services.
To a man up a tree it occurs strange in
deed, that our parish health officers, our
city health officers, should have had DIR.
Bowling denounce existing conditions, when
they should have done so themselves. The
inference irresistibly is: Our parish and
city health officials do not attend to their
duties, or if they do. they are afraid to re-
port unsatisfactory conditions. There is no
escape from this conclusion.
The police jury is catching. Why
not give a similar dose to it's employees?
The police jury employs health officers. The
city does the same. If these employees fail
to perform their duties, the police jury
should discharge them. Neither the parish
nor city can afford to pay officials for draw
ing a salary. These officials must earn their
money or be discharged. If they consider
they are insufficiently paid. let them resign.
Our parish, our city cannot afford to bear
the stigma placed upon it by DR.. Dowling's
report. The police jury must ascertain who
is to blame for existing conditions and must
remedy these. IL the health officers employ
ed by it are insufficient, find someone who
is. If the pay is inadequate, increase this.
The police jury is to blame in this: It does
not give sufficient care to the courthouse.
It's Office is neat and kept in a cleanly con-
dition. The courthouse is on the contrary,
i'll kept. It should be painted annually, or
as often as necessary. If the parish can't
afford paint. whitewash it. The exterior of
this building resembles a monastery con-
demned to uses vile. It's walls are being
worn simply for the lack of a few cutters.

and assessor, as well as the members of the
police jury, to have their offices.
Let us follow the example of Franklin
in st. Mary parish, where the best court
house in the country parishes is situated.
Let us cooperate with the progressive citi-
zens OF st. Landry and in a few months
construct a courthouse which will give us
service, which will be an advertisement for
Opelousas and St. Landry and which will
be in line with the progress of this great
and noble parish. Let some of the leading
men of this parish resolve to make a fight
for a new courthouse and soon thousands OF
citizens of St. Landry will follow their ex-
ample and will be boosters for the welfare
of this parish.
The Clarion hopes that the police jurors
will consider this question and will give
those DESTROYS Of having a new courthouse
erected here a chance to prove their case.
If this is done we are confident that it will
not be many months before st. Landry will
have the very best courthouse in the state,
outside of New Orleans.
We invite those who wish to write on
this subject to use the columns of our paper
to further a good and noble cause.

BOOSTTHE STATE.

What is 500, 900 to a state like Louis
lana? It is an insignificant amount of mon
ey, if it is spent for the good of the state.
Therefore, it is our opinion, that the state
Legislature should readily appropriate this
amount to the State Chamber of Commerce
for the purpose Of advertising the resources
of Louisiana in every section of the United
States. With this money well spent, as we
believe it will be, Louisiana will reap a re-
ward so great that in a few years it will be
|peopled with scientific farmers from north
ern states.
Louisiana needs to let the other states
in the Union know that it is not a mosquito
hatchery nor is it a bed of malaria, as is the
impression in some localities. It needs to
acquaint farmers, who are seeking better
farms, with the fact that here in the center
of the Sunny South and the garden of Eden
there is a great future for them.
The Clarion hopes that not only the
Legislators from this parish, but those
from every parish in Louisiana, will show
their interest in the welfare of this state by
voting in favor of the appropriation.
The Louisiana Chamber of Commerce
with such a man as Leon Locke, of Lake
Charles. at the head Of it, will without
doubt be a great success as well as a great
advertising medium for this state. It will
render a world of good to Louisiana in gen
eral and that is the reason why the legisla-
ture should appropriate $780, 900 to this
body for the purpose of advertising the adj
vantages this state has over all other states
in. the Union.

MUNICIPAL SANITARIUM.

Opelousas can and should nave a mum.
! cipal sanitarium. With the expenditure OF
a few thousand dollars this city could own a
hospital, which would be of wonderfully
great benefit to the people around Opelou-
sas.
The Clarion understands that the st.
Landry High School is the property of the
town. This building will be vacated after
the present term, when the school will be
moved into the modern school building. al
most completed. Whilst this building has
some insignificant disadvantages it must be
admitted that a few hundred dollars would
make it up-to-date and a sanitary ipfirmary.
Opelousas needs the sanitarium and If in
the minds of the members of the board of
aldermen it would be too much of an ex-
pense to erect a building. it is the opinion
of the Clarion. that they should remodel the
ST. Landry High School building and con
vert IL into a hospital.
The sanitarium question is being dis
cussed considerably, especially since DIR.
Littell made the move that a committee be
@ApROlIiLGG W lOOh iILO Lie dQpiodDIfIIy III
erecting one in Opelousas. The school build
ing is being talked of as an ideal location
for a municipal sanitarium.
The saving to the people Of Opelousas,
if there were a sanitarium here, is enough
to justify the mayor and the members Of
the board of aldermen to set to work imme-
diately and to see to it that the Market
street building be made a hospital. It will
be practically useless after the present
school session, and we think that it would
be q good investment to convert the build
ing into a modern up-to-date sanitarium.
like Opelousas is badly in need Of.
1t is to be hoped that every member of
the city and parish boards of health, as well
as the physicians and citizens of Opelousas
and st. Landry will earnestly urge the erec-
ton of a s~anitarium in this city. It is to be
hoped that the sanitarium spirit will not die
out, but on the contrary become SO strong
that by the summer Opelousas will have its
own hospital.

do not know who is responsible for
existing conditions. DR.. Bowling charges
their existence. No one enters up a denial.
The conclusion is, their existence is incon-
testable. This is a disgrace to those in
charge. It must be remedied. The sooner
the better. If the police jur is master OF
the situation, it must act. Act at nee.
Delays are dangerous.
AS a citizen of st. Landry whose i'm.
mediate family pay considerable taxes, as
public spirited citizen who is very much
wrought over this condition of affairs, I ap-
peal to the police jury, Iappeal tothe health
officers of this town and city to relieve this
parish and city from the deplorable condi.
lions new existing. Ascertain who is re.
sponsible for this, and then let the Great
axe fall. Decapitate every official who has
failed in performing his duties.

A NEW COURTHOUSE.

The feeling that st. Landry should have
a new and better courthouse is daily grow.
ing stronger among the citizens of Opelou.
sas, and it is assured that the country PEG.
ple will soon realize the terrible condition
af the present parish building, which should
be replaced by January, 1915, at least, by a
modern courthouse.
The little town Of Bastrop, in North
Louisiana, which is situated in a parish, we
are sure, is not as large and as prosperous
as ST. Landry. although its citizens may
show more signs of progressiveness than
the people Of this parish. has recently
erected a S71. 600 courthouse. This building
lis considered one of the prettiest, as
well ais commodious in the state: the citi-
zens who took an active step to have such a
Scsurthouse constructed take pride in pro-
claiming it one Of the best in Louisiana.
st. Landry, with it's vast agricultural
resources and rich farms, with some forty
thousand inhabitants and with the prospect
of some day becoming the leading agricul-
tnral parish of Louisiana can easily afford
800. 900 for the erection of a building.
which will take the place of the present
sseye-sore" courthouse.
If this subject would be agitated to
some extent it is the opinion of the Clarion
that it would not be a difficult matter to OBJ
tain sufficient money to erect a modern, up
to-date, sanitary and handsome courthouse,
which will be a monument to the present
generation for years to come.
The present building has served its
time; it is not only Anticipated, but it is
dangerous as well as insanitary. 1t is not a
fit building for the sheriff. clerk of court
