BARRET-FoNTENoT TIDAL WAVE

The best reliable information that
can be obtained points to the fact that
Barrett and Fantenot are sweeping the
dry parishes of North Louisiana, and that
they will carry Evangeline, Jeff Davis,
Beauregard, and Allen, and are daily
growing stronger in old st. Landry.
A month ago the names of Barrett
and Fontenot were not mentioned among
the leading candidates in the third dis
trict, the Democrats there seeming sub
merged by Parkerism to-day, however,
they are moving by leaps and bounds
and will undoubtedly carry that section
on January 18th.

State Press Opinion
SOME BIT HERE

From time to time during the past
two months, the A~merican-Press has Civ
en- details of the activities of various com
panies engaged in selling little plots of
land adjacent to the Union Sulpher Com
pany's holdings to whoever can be in
duced to buy them, by specious figures
and glittering generalities, for approx
mately a hundred times their cost.
The plan of disposing of these lots
is exactly the same in most of these com
panies; their lots are exactly the same
size; the money received by each for
drilling is the same sum and their lit
erature is similar, showing the same es-
Inmates of possible wealth, the same pic
lures Of sulphur flowing from the Union
Sulphur Co.'s wells and the same plaus-
ible sounding arguments that are used to
coax thirty dollars from the pockets of
credulous people for a bit Of land not
orth thirty cents at the market price

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It is our pleasure to wish u many
friends a Merry Christmas, and it IS our
sincerest hope and desire that every read
err Of the Clarion will spend a joyful Yule-
tide.
Christmas is the day on which we
celebrate the advent upon earth Of the
Savior Of mankind; imagine how happy
those faithful souls were two Thousand
years ago, when it was made known nat
Jesus Christ, son of God and Redeemer
of the world, had been born.
Let 5 hope that we will be as happy
on Christmas day as were the Jews OF
two thousend years ago.
Here's to your health, happiness and
prosperity.

IT'S DEAD

R~ullmoosism is dead everywhere IN
the United States, except In the third
congressional district and in st. Landry,
where there are some very respectable
people who for sundry and diverse rea-
sons are for John M. Parker, for COVER
nor. In seeking the reasons therefor
we find that many have had a hatred OF
Democracy and it's principals and simply
affiliated with the Democrats because
ashamed to call themselves Republicans.
They of course seek every opportunity to
stab the Democracy and yet object to be-
ing called Republicans. This contempt
for Republicanism is not o%ne-sided, how
ever, because every respectable Repub-
lican, who is SO because of his high pro-
tective views, has a profound contempt
for Bullmoosers who want to secure the
benefits (?) Of high protection and yet
are ashamed to rejoin the Republican or
ganization.
Another section of the Bullmoosers
profess to be "agin' the government be-
cause the Democrats wanted to put sugar
on the free list and this despite Of the
fact that the Democrats, Ransdell, Brous-
sard, Thornton, Lazaro, Dupre and others
voted to retain the duty OF sugar, while
Poindexter, the only Bullmoose leader II
Congress, voted for free sugar
Thus it is clearly an excuse and on
that won't hold water.
Another section of the disslden1
boilers profess that they want a business
man for governor and here they are es
topped by the fact that the Democrat
are running a better business man and
better farmer than John NJ. Parker IL
the person of Thomas G.. Barrett, Wht
started in the race of life with nothing
but his labor, while Parker started wei
fixed in the worlds goods and at the enc
of twenty years course Barret is as vel
fixed in the material things of life a
John M. Parker, with the added advan
tage of a profound knowledge of law
legislative procedure and a clean politl
cal record, whereas the other is a party
deserter, who quit the regiment as it wa
about to enter into battle with the very
elements which Parker now seeks to ar
ray under his banner.

N MEDICATION

%|3
The grand jury impaneled to inves-
tigate the chargesc recently brought
against E. O. Bruner, commissioner of
agriculture, failed to find a true bill
against the gentleman from Acadia. He
was completely indicated by this body
of men.
Now comes the Louisiana State
Farmerds Union, in clear-cut language,
generating the same man, whom this or
g~anization had previously censured.
This is the strongest farmers organiza-
ton in Louisiana, which is in a position to
ascertain whether or not the commission.
Ell of agriculture has performed his
duty; it thinks the charges preferred
against Mr.. Bruner are ill-founded. In q
word, the Farmers Union believes thai
Mr.. Bruner has been politically perse-
cuted.
tt is now up to the voters of Louis
lana to vindicate the commissioner of ag
rieulture. It is our firm belief that they
too will exonerate this man, by re-elect
ing him BY an overwhelming majority OF
January 18th, 1916.

BOYS PIG CLUB

st. Landry is one Of the very few
parishes in Louisiana which is unable to
boast of a Boys Pig Club; it's sister par
ishes, including Evangeline, which sur
round it, all have clubs.
Many persons who visited the Louis
lana State Fair at Shreveport, last month,
and, who viewed the map of agricultural
Louisiana, wondered why a great, popu-
lous and prosperous parish like st. Lam
dry did not have one single pig or corn
club within it's boundaries. Other par
ishes have pig clubs and have found
them profitable; in those parishes sons
are teaching their fathers how TO raise
pork p~rofitably and are blazing the way
to prosperity and contentment.
A move is now on hand to organize
pig clubs in this parish and it is to be
hoped that the promoters Of this good
cause will not meet with difficulties
which those who tried for twenty years
to organize a parish fair.
Farmers are now positively certain
that the parish fair is greatly beneficial
to ST. Landry; corn and pig clubs go
hand in hand with the parish fair; these
clubs induce the little tots to take more
active interest in parish fairs; they pro-
duce rivalry and competition and at the
same time teach members of these clubs,
as well as outsiders, how to produce corn
and pork proftably.
Let us hope at any rate, that the
move to organize corn and pig clubs will
matelialize, and that the map OF this
state, showing the progress made in
Louisiana, which will be exhibited at
Shreveport, next fall, will be dotted with
corn and pig clubs in st. Landry parish.
1t is not too late to do effective work
along these lines and the sooner we be-
gin the work the sooner win st. Landry
begin to prosper.

WORKING OVERTIME AS A pEMA
GOGUE

Lake Charles American-Press: Only
state in favor of the dishonest distflbu-
ton of state school funds, whereby eight
parishes of the state receive for, school
purposes more money than they pay in
for all purposes, forty-seven receive
more money than they pay into the state,
and nine parishes, including Calcasieu,
receive for schools 3 14,128.10 and pay
into the state treasury $1,666,632.55.
That voice belongs to Lee Emmett Thomas
Of Shreveport. Mr.. Thomas evidently
does not know by what system this dis
honests distribution of school funds is
affected, but he is "fer' it anyway. Is
it right and just that Calcasieu, which
| spends 100000 or more money on its
own schools, should be taxed for a con-
tribution of $500 by the state so that
the people of the negro parishes may
make the state pay all the school ex-
penses of those parishes? Nobody
would say SO except Lee Emmett Thomas

ffty-five delinquent parishes. We thinl
he is mistaken. We do not believe tina
one Of them would willingly become

BE A GOOD L

And again, even though we fail to
give costly gifts to those Of our friends,
who can return others of equal value, do
not let us forget to feed the hungry, to
clothe the naked and visit the sick" be-
aus He who was born on Christmas day
has said, "Inasmuch as We have done it to
n of these, my brethren, We did it unto
me-" Above all else do not let the spirit
of Christmas giving degenerate into a
mere business transaction, but let it be
one of loving remembrance exerting our
selves to make it the happiest, and sweet
est day of all the year, with its halloWed
memories and sacred thoughts, not for
getting the poor and those unfortunates
who are forced to spend the joyful occa-
sion behind prison walls or in hospitals.

John M. Parker's dream is about to

be exploded" If elected governor of
Louisiana he would want to vest the
chief executive with more power than
before. It will be remembered that the
people of Louisiana revolted against
granting tn governor too much power
and in 1900 the legislature began curbing
on the gubernatorial bit. Should Parker
be elected the same thing will happen
and he will be able to build up a more
powerful machine than that controlled
by the seventeen governors of the Cres-
cent City.
