The famous tourist orange grove

STREET FAIRS.

The Clarion is glad to say that two OF
the most prominent fraternal organizations
in Opelousas have resolved to no longer al
low street fairs or carnivals to play in this
city under their auspices; these lodges are
the Elks and the Knights of Columbus.
Realizing that they stood for the upliftment
of the morals in their community and for
the betterment of society. and being con.
WINGED that street fairs are a detriment to
morality as well as a menace to a comnuni-
ty, they unanimously resolved to place a ban
on such seeming amusements.
This paper hopes to see the day when
the progressive city administration will pass
an ordinance prohibiting the granting of Ii.
censes to these gambling and immoral
shows. We feel assured that the members
of the present board of aldermen also stand
for the moral uplift of Opelousas and that
matter has never been thought of by them,
and on that account have not acted before
now. We feel that it will not be long be-
fore the council will follow the example of
the Lafayette city fathers by prohibiting
street fairs from playing in Opelousas.

THE AUGUSTA EDWARDS CASE

The twelve jurymen who were sworr
to do their duty by Judge Baker in New Or
leans last week in the case Of the State vs.
Augusta Edwards have performed
that duty well. Whilst it is difficult, as
well as delicate to convict a woman to the
~penitentiary for life, it must be admitted
that when a woman commits a crime she
is just as guilty and deserves as severe
punishment as a man.
Augusta Edwards knew that Riehl, her
lover, was a married man several months
before she decided to kill him, and still she
persisted in going with him and receiving
his false and illicit love. She was old enough
to be governed by her own mind and was
not driven to her doom on account of des-
peration nor on account of the want of mon
ey. Whilst it is but natural for the
public to sympathize with weak woman
this sympathy should not interfere with the
performance Of justice.
It was proven that the woman was not in
sane, after which the plea of unwritten law
was entered. With the verdict of the Crow
ley jury in the famous Murff-Duval case the
unwritten law was given a severe jolt.
Now that the example of the Acadian jury
men has been emulated by the jurors VINO
sentenced Augusta Edwards to life imprison-
ment it appears that such crimes as those
committed by these two women will not be
placed in the category Of the unwritten law
very much longer.
When men are called to serve on the
jury for such cases and the determination of
performing their duty is stronger than their
sympathy they should be highly commended
for their actions.

NATIONAL DIVORCE LAW.

Senator Ransdell of Louisiana startled
the whole country when he introduced
proposed amendment to the CONSTITUTE on Of
the United States, relative to a uniform law
or divorces. Mr.. RansdelPs proposition
would prohibit divorced persons from ever
rem FRYING again.
Whilst a national divorce law, even as
rigid as the one proposed by the distinguish
ed Louisiana Senator, might be a blessing to
this country, it will be a difficult matter to
obtain the consent of two-thirds of the states
In the Union to pass such a law as '.abso-
lutte divorce with the right to remarry shall
not be permitted in the United States nor
In any place within their Jurisdiction"
The divorce question is alarming and it
is high time that more rigid and severe laws
be enacted for the prevention of separations
for trivial things, as was especially expert
enced during the last year, throughout the
Uuited States. Courts are too lenient on APP
plicants for divorces and something should
certainly be done to prevent this.
Whilst the Ransdell proposed amend
ment will meet severe opposition, there is
doubt that on the other hand he will be
heralded as the father of one Of the great
est amendments ever proposed in Congress.

MAKE 1T A FAIR FIGHT.

The campaign for mayor and members
Of the board of aldermen is getting to be
hot and heavy. In the excitement som ad.
herents for this mar or that have u~ninten.
tionally started rumors which are of nc
credit and are too base to be used against
the candidacy of any man. now aspiring te
be a member of the city fathers.
Let us make this fight uprightly, truth.
fully and honestly.
A mar should be elected on his merits
and not on the dement's of the other. False
rumors should not be started against any
one of the candidates, but on the contrary
the one showing any inclination of starting
such run1ors should be reminded that this is
a gentlemen's fight and that the campaign
is to be carried on in as friendly a manner
as If brothers were running against each
other.

GOOD A FEELING
IN ST. LANDRY.

There is a strong sentiment existing in
every corner of the once empire parish OF
ST. Landry and that sentiment is no other
other than the feeling that within the next
couple Of years st. Landry will follow the
example of Calcasieu parish. As the days
roll into weeks and weeks into months the
good road fever is getting stronger and
stronger in this section of Louisiana.
Whilst many property owners say that
this parish is taxed very highly they readily
admit that there is one tax which needs to
be voted on and which will eventually car
~, and that is the good roads tax, which in
our mind, is not far distant.
st. Landry will no doubt vote upon this
all absorbing question within the next two
years, and it is the opinion Of those, who are
in d position to know, that the good roads
tax will carry like wildfire.
This parish needs good roads and it will
have them before long. All that we need
at present is to start the ball arolling and in
a few months we will have been rewarded
with model roads throughout the length and
breadth Of old st. Landry.
Opelousas is laying down good paved
streets and it is rumored here that progress
sive Eunice is soon to follow in the foot
steps of this city. That town will have
paved streets, also, and very soon the farm
ers around Opelousas and Eunice will be
real live good roads boosters, then others
will fall in line and it will be a small mat
ter to vote a tax to levy enough money In
make our highways permanent.
