DOCTORS TO DECIDE
HOSPITAL QUESTION
Prospects OF Municipal Sanitarium For OpeIousas
Look Very Good---Committee To Meet In
City Soon.

The municipal sanitarium ques-
tion which is attracting the at
tention not only of the doctors OF
Opelousas and surrounding
country, but also the public in
general, is to be settled within
the next few weeks, when the
committee appointed by the new
" elected president of the Parish
Medical Society, DIR. Brown, will
meet in Opelousas to decide
whether or not a Municipal
Sanitaruim is the thing for Opel
ousas.
DR.. Robert M. Littell, who is
on this committee and who is
very eager to secure a santa
rum for Opelousas, is at present
collecting data from every city,
wherein there is a hospital, in
Louisiana. He will make a re-
port at the approaching meeting
of his committee, and it is
thought, whilst the doctor
did not express his opinion, as
yet, that his data will be strong
enough to: justify Opelousas to
erect a municipal sanitariuml.
Everything will be decided by
the committee when it will meet
here. and it is expected that it
viii viii decide upon the old st. Lam
dry High School building, which,
in the minds Of many of the
most prominent citizens of Opel
ousas, is the ideal place for the
hospital. The location is very
good; the money it will save the
city is thought to be sufficient to
justify the city authorities to
convert this large and spacious,
as well as desirable building, in
to an up-to-date sanitariu1l.

Card of Thanks.

! desire to thank my friends
and voters of the third city ward
for the honor they bestowed up
on me at the election in this city
on last Tuesday, by re-electing
me as their representative.
I will endeavor at all times to
do all in my power to perform
my duty as honorably as any
man can, and will stand for
the betterment of the affairs and
conditions in our progressive
city.
Again thanking you for your
esteemed favor, / am
Gratefully yours
SIMON Sicily.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-02-21

Every doctor in Opelousas.
agrees that this city needs a hos
pital; there has been too much
money leaving this parish every
year and going to the New Or
leans hospitals not to justify
Opelousas in erecting a santa
rum. Over $50, 600 left this city
last year, and with that sum Of.
money, Opelousas surely ought
to be capable of upholding a san
itarium.
It is generally understood that
the Progressive League will soon
take a hand in this matter and
will work hard to obtain the CO..
operation Of the Mayor and the
members of the Board Of Alder
men in securing a sanitariunl
for this city. The city council
no doubt will favor the PROPOSE
tion, and it is hoped that the
progressive League, under the
leadership Of one of the most
progressive citizens Of this COM
munity, Mr.. Lorenzo Mornhin-
veg, will soon get busy on these
lines, as the ST. Landry High
School building, which is the
property Of the city will soon be
vacated.
Practically every town in Lou
isiana the size Of Opelousas has
from one to two hospitals.
Many of these places ard not as
prosperous as this city. but re-
alizing the great Importance of
having a sanitarium in their corn-
munity the progressive citizens
of these towns did not hesitate
to erect hospitals. Opelousas
should follow their example and
have a sanitarium here before
the summer months are over.

.OPELOUSAS MAY GET
FARMERS CONVENTION
President Mills Endeavoring
To Have State Meeting
Held Here.

President r. Lee Mills, Of the
Farmers Union, was in this city,
on Tuesday, and stated that he
was trying to have the annual
state meeting Of the Union held
in Opelousas.
From present reports North
Louisiana is putting up a hard
fight against Southwest Louis
lana for the meeting, and it is
the opinion Of Mr.. Mills that un-
less the Progressive League and
the people of Opelousas assist
him in bringing the convention
to this city, some North Louis
lana town is apt to land the
meeting.
Opelousas was host for the
Farmers Union a few years ago;
the favorable impression made
on the visiting farmers from all
over the state leads Mr.. Mills in
believing that it would not be a
difficult matter to get the con-
vention for Opelousas.
Mr.. Mills would appreciate it
very much if the Progressive
League would show some signs
of assisting him in anyway, and
it would be advisable for that
body of public spirited men to
confer with the President Of the
Parish Farmers Union, to as
certain just what would be re-
quired for landing the conven-
ton, which is to take place in
the last week of July.

WOODMEN INSTALL OFFICERS
Ceremony Followed By A
Dutch Lunch.

Willow Camp No. AZ, w. O.
W, Of this city held its regular
meeting on last Thursday night
and installed the recently elected
officers. Despite the rain which
fell all the afternoon there was
a large crowd Of Sovereigns
present, due to the fact that no
tees had been sent out notifying
them that there would be re-
freshments served after the in
stallation.
Sovereign D. M. Fontenot act
ed as installing officer and upon
the completion Of the impressive
ceremony Sovereign Isador Isaac,
chairman of the refreshment
committee, who had been ably
assisted by Sovereigns Jos. Gar
bo and Fl. D. Larcade, Jr., an
nounced that they had prepared
a Dutch Lunch for the entertain
ment of the camp. It is not
necessary to 60 into details as to
what this was; it is sufficient to
say that it was greatly enjoyed
by all present who were u11-
animous in their expressions of
appreciation of the excellent
work of the committee.
The officers installed were:
Leon S. Haas, Consul Com
mander;; Isador Isaac, Advisor
Lieutenant; Il. Bodemuller,
Banker; E. Lee Gil. Clerk; ?. ?.
Hidalgo, Escort; Warren Megin-
ley, Watchman; Sidney Du-
charme, Sentry.
The camp is still growing
steadily and is one Of the strong
est fraternal orders in the city.
A cordial invitation is extended
to all young, as well as middle
aged men who have no insurance,
to join and help swell the roll of
membership and at the same
time provide protection for their
loved ones.

ness as happy as if there never
would have been held an cleo
tion.
Mr.. Simon Sicily, present
member from the third ward
was successfully reelected over
Mr.. A. S. Brown, Sr., by ma
jority Of sixteen votes.
In the big fourth the Loeb
ticket was given a substantial
majority, Mr.. E. K. Eastman,
defeating Mr.. G. Percy Dunbar,
who was seeking a reelection by
eleven votes. There are already
two Loeb men elected, whilst
one Shaw man and one neu-
trail man were also sue
cessful. The fight now will be
made in the second ward to give
a majority either one way or the
other.
The spirit displayed BY Mayor
| ILoe BIS frie n d S Tues day
night, no doubt made Mr.. Loeb
feel very grateful for tne dis
tinguished honor bestowed upon
him, by sending him b tck to
preside over the city's fairs.
At his home, where he was es-
corted by many of his friends,
Mr., Loeb stated, in his speech
that he would administer the
affairs of the city in the same
just, impartial and progressive
manner as he did during the last
two years. He admitted that he
might have made mistakes, but
as this is only a human act, he
took it for granted that the ma
jority of the voters of the city
| did not construe these few errors
by the city's executive as being
detrimental to the welfare of the
community. With a heart full
of gratitude he thanked those
friends who bestowed upon his
shoulders, as being reelected
mayor of Opelousas, now num-
bered among the most progress
sive cities in Louisiana.
Under Loeb's administration
there has been made thou
sands of dollars of improvements.
Several miles of pavement
practically all constructed, and
many other things too numerous
to mention were done during
Loeb's first time. The power
plant which was a heavy burden
on the city's shoulders has been
remodeled and instead of MAX
ing the city lose over six hum
dred dollars per month it is earn
ing approximately one thousand
dollars monthly. The electric
light and water services have
been vastly improved. and now
Opelousas can boast of as splen-
did a service as any town in
Louisiana
With the old debts practically

wiped out and a progressive
Board of Aldermen to back ur
Mayor Loeb it is expected that
the incoming administration
will be as progressive as the out
going. The voters expect to see
things change during the next
two years.
The result per wards is as fol
lows:
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-02-21

Hon. Edward L. Loeb won a
glorious victory at Tuesdays
election when he was reelected
mayor of the city of Opelousas
by 27 votes majority over his op-
ponent, DR.. James A. Shaw, a
prominent dentist of this city.
The aattering vote which Loeb
received on last Tuesday is at
tributed by the mayors intimate
friends to the fact that the peo-
pie of Opelousas have endorsed
his policy of governing the mu-
nicipal affairs and to his personal
popularity. Mr.. Loeb has
proven on many occasions that
he was working strenuously for
the good 0 f til town;
and h as place d til e
credit Of Opelousas back where
it belonged, after it was little
better than nothing at all for
several years. The employees
of the city do not have to dis
count their checks 10 per cent
nowadays, and it is the inten-
ton of Loeb never to allow the
municipal checks to be discount
ed, as long as he will be at the
head of the local government.
The election was carried off
very quietly, though the voters
displayed a great deal of inter-
est in it. Never before was a
local political battle fought SO
hard. And never before was
there such a heavy vote cast as
at the mayors election on last
Tuesday, the total vote cast for
the candi lates for mayor being
399.
The greatest surprise of the
day was the tie vote for the can
didates for aldermen in the Sec
ond ward, both L. L. Danel and
w. A. Hays receiving 46 votes.
1t was never entertained by
either side that the result would
be thus, as both factions were
claiming that their candidate
would be successful. The two
aspirants for that position will
have to run over sometime next
month and it is predicted that a
hard fight will be made by the
friends of both candidates to
bring victory on their side.
The contest for alderman-at-
large was also very interesting
and close, Mr.. Arthur Gosselin
defeating Mine Host" Cretin,
of Lacombe Hotel fame, by 27
votes majority. This fight was
a very friendly one, though per-
haps not quite as hard fought as
the mayors. All victorious and
defeated candidates are wear
ing smiles and have resigned to
the will of the people. There is
no more talk of politics and
everybody has gone back to busi-
