WHAT'S THE USE.

Once in while you meet
person that favors the Progress
sive Party in this section. Some
how. or another. one always feels
a certain sympathy for these fell
lows-for thew are either sadly
misguided. or have a lot Of PREF
udice against the only party that
can work good to this section.
We say misguided. for no well
posted man for one moment will
MAINTAIN that any good will re-
suit from electing a Bull Moose to
Congress in this district. If for
no other reason than this one,
this is sufficient; Congress is
composed of more than five hun
dred members. Of this number -
are Progressive in the House OF
Representatives, and one member
In the Senate. Should we elect
a Progressive to Congress, he will
have Is or Is associates to work
for him in Congress against about
500. Should we elect a Demo-
crat to Congress he will have a
majority to work with him in
Congress. And for this treason
more than any other it will be
just as well to have no repre-
Sentation whatever as to send a
Progressive to Congress.
We have in Hon. II. l.. Guey
dan, a model man, staunch
Democrat, a progressive cltlze',
and statesman, he represents the
highest type among US. His
affiliations are undisputedly
superb. He is said to be no pol
itician, which is muchly in his
favor-may be he will have time
to look after the peoples interest
more for this particular reason:
for a politician is always study
ing his own advancement and
benefit.-News.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Now. here is the Lake Charles
Times, intensely democratic and
Wilsonic, protesting against the
low price of rice. Why should
not the Times rejoice at this fact,
since it is the policy Of the de-
mocracy to have low prices =
Morgan City Outlook
The Outlook knows without be-
ing told that there is vast dit
ference between keeping up the
price of domestic rice by a pro-
tective tariff and keeping it up
whe1 it could not be purchased
for less in any foreign country.
Recently a raid on the market
was made by a few spectators
and the price was beaten down.
The market will soon readjust IT.
self. however. and the incident
will be- forgotten. The Outlook
IS mistaken in it's idea Of true
democracy when 1t says the poi
icy of the party is to have lo'
prices. The democratic party
favors fair prices for all com
modities. What it does not favor
is unfair prices maintained by a
protective tariff for the benefit
of few and against the multi
tude, as has been the policy OF
the republican party in protect
ing sugar. The reason the price
CT rice is too low today is because
it cannot. be imported at any
thing like what the farmers are
now being offered for their grain,
and the. law Of supply and de-
mand makes it worth more mon

CATHOLIC BAND
Holds First Annual Meeting and Elects
 Officers
Financial Condition Good. Will Have
 Summer Concerts


 The first annual meeting ,of the Put nam Catholic Band was held In the band room Sunday, the first birthday of the organization. The treasurer's report wss very encouraging as 1t showed that the uniforms had been paid for, all debts paid, and there was balance in the treasury.
 The band has fine quarters In room over the boiler house near St. Mary's church. This room was fitted up for the purpose by the late beloved Father St. Mary's band. There Is no rent to pay, and no lighting or coal bills and the band Is in position to get along very economically. The members ap- preciate the support they were given by the business men and the citizens in their recent musical festival which was arranged for the purpose of pro- curing funds The band readily respond ed with their services when requested to help along the committees plans for Clean.up Week and are ready al all times to do anything to advance the public interest.
 On the other hand the public are proud of the band and 1t would be un- fortunate If there was not such an or- ganization in the city. The band res hearses weekly and when preparing for an engagement they rehearse oftens CT The director, Amidee Lucier, has given much time to bring the organiza- tion up to high standard and has been greatly encouraged by the support in the past with the hopes that 1t will continue in the future. It Is planned during the summer months to give open mir concerts. This will help to attract people from the outlying dis tricts to the city and will be of benefit to the business men. 1t k to be hoped that the band will continue to flourish They have been engaged to furnish music in Putnam Memorial Day and. will play for the Foresters' memorial Sunday, the first Sunday in June. The officers elected were as follows: President, Alfred Bonneville.

CITY NEARLY CLEAN
Only a Small Scattered Section Not Pink
Committees dratified at Weeks Work


 Cleanup week proper is over, Most of the city is in the "Pinkn of eondi. tion as shown by the map. There has been a large amount,of work done and the committees are we'll satisfied with the showing. Citizens generally have responded quickly and well and per haps 1t is safe to say,that Putnam was never as clean as 1t is today But the work has not wholly stopped and 1t will not stop until everysspot has been gone over.
 Now that 1t is clean it is as much every persons duty to see that il is kept so as it was to help make it so. There is little use of cleanup week If the same conditions are again brought about. The only way 10 keep the city ID it's present condition is 10 make an effort. Remember that the streets are not receptacles for waste paper, hand bills, or any other kind ot litter. The general public have an interest in in- dividual back yards, especially if they |
 are made breeding places for flies and mosquitoes. It is not expected that Putnam can be kept as spick and span as it is today as one cleaning does not last a life time, but make waste slowly and there will not be so much work to do next time and meanwhile the city will look better than in past years.

TROLLEY COLLISION
Cars Come Together Twice in Short Time
Woman Hurt. Passengers Refuse to 20
 Further

Two southbound trolley cars out of Putnam flor Dsnielson on the Shore Line Electric Road were in two sue cessive rear.end collisions less than ten minutes apart about Il o'clock Saturday night. Miss Lucy Partello received a cut on her eyelid from flying glass and the passengers were badly shaken up and refused to get back on the car after the second collision oc- cured. A ear was sent up from the car barn at Dayville and took them the rest of the way.
 The two cars left Putnam at 10.36 carrying the theatre crowd. The first car was in charge of Conductor Ar mold and Motorman Larose and the car following was in charge of Conduc- tor Vachon and Motorman Batty. After leaving the Fair ground switch south of the city, the car ahead stopped at the Partello house to let of Miss Partello and friends. They were in the vestibule when the car behind crashed into the car ahead and piece of flying glass cut the Partello girls eye. The cars had proceeded less than an eighth of mile when the car ahead stopped again at the farm of k. NJ. Wheaton and again the car follow ing ran into it. The passengers were badly shaken up and badly frightened and refused to get back upon the lear. Larose went into the Wheaton house and telephoned the car barn at Day vile and a car was sent from there. A doctor was also telephoned for to at- tend the Partello girl. The rear of the irst car and the front end of the car following were both considerably dam- aged. The men in charge of the cars would make no statement as to the cause of the double accident but it is understood that the brakes were in working order. It has been stated that slippery rails caused the trouble.

VOTEAPPROPRIATION
5000 flor Motor Fire Truck and Fife
 Apparatus
Over Two to One Vote Yes

At the special city meeting Tuesday to see if the city would appropriate S6,000 with which to purchase an au- tomobile fire truck and other appara- tus there were 4S5 votes cast of which BPS were "Yes" and 157 "No,n so that Putnam is to have a new equipment for the tire department as recommend ed by the Business Mems Association.
 Since the meeting was called for the purpose of voting on the question there has been much general discussion of the matter. Those opposed to the ap- prepriation were for the most part op- posed on one of two grounds, or both, that the city was already carrying so heavy debt that it could not at- ford to assume any more at this time, or that fire truck could be purchased much cheaper that would answer the purpose. Many of these voters felt that, while fire truck was needed it was purely and simply question as to whether the city conld afford it.
 Those who supported the appropria. tion were of the opinion that the exi- geneies of the case demanded and war ranted the expense. They pointed out the past series of fires and many were of the opinion that had such piece of apparatus been owned by the city it's value many times over might have been saved in property loss.
 Citizens may rest assured that hefere the purchase is made proper investi- gation will be had and that the truck will be purchased as economically as possible, but this does not mean that the cheapest truck on the market will be bought. As recommended by the committee, if the city is to buy truck it is better and cheaper in the long run to get one that will serve needs of the city for a long time to come and will carry proper amount of equipment as well as chemical.
