SPEAK A GOOD WORD.

: When the stranger enters your
gate, speak a good word for your
town, for your neighbors, for the
community. It is but little for
you to do, but it is rich in the
fruits of after years. A commun-
ity is judged by the words and
the acts of its people, and we Of
this community are judged by
others in like manner. If the
hearts of our people are warmed
by the fires and comradship and
brotherly love our acts will be in
accord with our feelings, and the
world will know us as a commun-
ity of honor and integrity, as a
people with soul, as a place
worthy Of a future. But il. we
loose the floodgates of criticism
and abuse and belittle the COM
munity and its people, then in
time we viii descend to a level
which we create for ourselves,
and the world will know us as a
people whom it is well to let alone.
Every day We are adding new
rungs to the community ladder,
but are they going up-or downf
Speak . good word, brother

placed upon the already bowed
/ shoulders of the country people.
They know that taxes are just
about as burdensome as they can
stand under and that some OF
them are not now able to pay the
! taxes demanded of them. They
are opposed to a convention be-
: cause they do not believe it is
necessary to create two addition
al supreme court judgeships, as
planned. simply to provide easy
berths for two of the state s brok-
en- down politicians. Louisiana,
we believe, has more supreme
court judges at this time than
has the great state Of Texas,
many times larger than this
state. They are opposed to it
because they believe that the
$150,000.00 it is alleged it will
take to hold convention can be
used for a better purpose, just at
this time. There are several
other reasons why they oppose
convention.
If, as our cOnfrere states, nine
ty per cent of the press and peo-
pie in the country parishes of the
southern part of the state are OPP
posed to the holding of a consti-
tutional convention at this time,
and the country voters will turn
out and vote on Tuesday, August
3lst, then the scheme will be de-
feated, as we feel safe in stating
that fully ninety per cent of the
people of the northern parishes
oppose convention. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that the ward
bosses in New Orleans will vote
every available man for the con
vention and, in order to defeat
them. the electorate of the cOun-
try parishes must turn out and

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

Before we again go to press, the
voters of Louisiana shall have de-
cided whether or not they wish
to have a new constitution for the
State: and also shall have made
choice Of those who are to make
this Constitution. Opinion is
much divided as to the wisdom of
holding the Convention at this
time; and we know not what the
verdict will be. But whatever it
be, it behOoves us to be on the
safe side and elect as our repre-
sentative one who will be an
honor to the Parish and able to
be Of service to his State.
Mr.. Porteus r. Burke. the dem
ocratic candidate for the honor,
is not only one of the leading
lawyers of the State, but a man
Of wide acquaintance and of
broad experience. Although new
er filling Office, except one term
in the State Legislature where he
ranked amongst the leaders. Mr..
Burke has always devoted himself
to public affairs. A student of
political economy, he is familiar
with the needs Of every depart
ment of State; and with personal
magnetism ripe Judgment and an
eloquent tongue, he can be de-
pended upon to represent his con-
stiuents in a manner to refct
credit upon them Therefore, let
us again urge all to come to his
support, let iberia Parish 60 into
the Convention represented by
one Of whom it will be proud; and
whose labors will result to the
betterment Of those who do him
honor.

THE CREAMERY.

On Wednesday afternoon as
per call of Mr.. G. G. Nelson, pres
i dent of the New Iberia Creamery,
Inc. the following gentlemen re-
sponded to the invitation to dis
cuss matters pertaining to the
welfare of the little industry: Z.
l.. Renoudet, Edw. l.. Estorge, IL.
n. Pharr, p. A. Landry, Alphonse
Davis, Julius Scharff, Alfred Rem
oudet, M. Billeaud, Leon Drey-
fus, A. L. Lewald, Frank Bertram,
H. p. Gates, Leon Landry, p. D..
Broussard, A. c.. Bernard and
Mayor Sealy. Mr.. Nelson, the
president, made a few remarks
about the necessity of selling adj
ditiOnal stock among the citizens
of the Parish in order to free the
concern Of it's present indebted
ness and stated that there should
be sufficient surplus money to es-
tablish routes and pay cash for
whatever raw products were
bought. It was made very clear
to the stockholders in that insti-
tuition that what handicap
ing the management most was
want Of raw products. They are
now receiving milk from about
two hundred and fifty cows when
their capacity was sufficient to
care for 800 good milching COWS.
The Creamery is manufacturing
not less than 80 lbs of butter
daily and 20 gallons of ice cream
and the orders exceed the supply
more than one hundred per cent.
The stockholders were also ad-
dressed by Hon. H. N. Pharr and
the manager, Mr.. Kendrick, who
impressed those present with the
value of the creamery as an adj
Junct to the business interests of
New Iberia and the great benefit
that will be derived to the Parish
by consuming the milk of the
farmers and making this dairy
country. Mr.. Pharr expressed
his regrets that our people had
not ventured into this business
years ago and said that conditions
would have been entirely different
had this not been a one-crop
country. He readily agreed to I
double his subscription and adj
dltlonal stock was then subscribed

GOOD ROADS MEETING.

Hon. VIM. Polk of Alexandra
addressed a large number Of oul
citizens yesterday morning in the
City Hall on the necessity of in.
teresting ourselves in the good
| roads movement throughout the
State. He is interested in build.
ing a model highway across the
entire State. and said that unless
we interested ourselves i'm the mat.
ter, the road would not pass
through this section of Louisiana.
1t is the intention of the cham
pions Of this movement to- have
the State issue several millions of
dollars worth of road bonds and
as he says, unless the Constitu-
tional Convention is carried the
whole matter Of State public high
way will have to be dropped. He
pointed out the value Of high
way of that nature to the people
of the State and Parishes through
which it would traverse and how
it would afterwards be main
tanned by the State. Mr.. Polk
has just completed tour of thir-
ty parishes and like here he made
many converts to the Constitu-
tlonal Convention owing to this
important project. Want Of
space precludes us publishing a
detailed account of his address
in this issue.
AT the close of the meeting.
the below described resolution
was endorsed:
That it be resolved; That we.
the citizens Of Iberia Parish, at
meeting held in New Iberia, Aug
9th, hereby endorse the proposi-
ton for the Constitutional Con-
vention to issue five million dol.
lars OF State Bonds for the pur-
pose OF constructing three State
highways; from New Orleans to
Lake Charles; from New Orleans
TO Shreveport: from Shreveport
to Vlckburg; and that the parish
es through which these highways
pass are to pay the interest on
such money as is spent in the re-
spectlve parishes and the whole
people eventually pay the princi-
pal.

COMMUNICATIONS.

New Iberia, Aug. 9th, 1915.
Mr.. Editor:
AS the election approaches and
the people Of the State will be
called upon, within a few days to
signify their desire concerning
the holding Of Convention, and
also select their representatives,
l beg space in your columns to
present few thoughts which have
presented themselves to me.
Before coming to a conclusion
on so important a matter,
studied the subject from every
viewpoint, and finally reached the
conclusion that the needs of a
Convention were imperative, and
that the time was opportune for
holding it.
The fiscal affairs of the State
needs readjustment, the Judicial
system calls for change which
could give quicker and more
economical justice, the crying
need Of a reorganization of the
business methods that existing
conditions may be improved and
the State affairs conducted within
its revenues. These and many
other reasons Influenced my opin-
ion and chief amongst these 9TH
ers, is the recent decision of Chief
Justice White of the United
States Supreme Court, a citizen
of Louisiana, with large sugar in
terest and withal. staunch dem
ocrat. wherein he held that the
Grand-father's clause which en-
franchises every white man in
Louisiana is unconstitutional.
This means that thirty per cent.
of the white voters Of Iberia Par
ish now registered under what is
known as Section 5 are to be de-
MED the right to vote. And vet,
in his zeal to defeat the democra-
tic candidate for delegate to the
Constitutional Convention. Mr.. E.
S. Broussard. the leading spirit
of the Progressive Party of Iberia
Parish is advising the people to
vote against the Convention and
incidentally the Section 5, voters
will be disfranchised.
| recognize the fact that poll
ticians are licensed to say and do
many things in the furtherance of
their cause, but can scarcely con-
ceive the attitude assumed by Mr..
Broussard in seeking to infict
such an injury upon his friends.
In conclusion, let me urge the
necessity Of this Convention and |
ct me further urge the election
Mr.. Porteus R. Burke, the demo-
cratic candidate, who does not |
,nly wish to see every white man
n Louisiana a qualified voter: but
whose matured judgment and
veil known ability insure his eff I
'orts to that end.
Yours very truly.

Editor Enterprise;

Editor Enterprise;
Dear Sir-Permit me the use
Of your columns to- say a few
words concerning the Constitu-
tional Convention.
Because of the wretched system
now prevailing, the finances Of the
State and that of most of It's po-
litical subdivisions are in de-
plorable condition. A method of
assessment and of taxation, an
tiquatqd and defective, forbids
fair distribution of the tax bur-
den, no matter how just and con
cientiOus may be the Assessor in
the discharge of his duties. The
correction of this evil, in my opin-
ion. would be all sufficient to
Justify the holding Of the Conven-
ton. But, many other questions
of equal importance require inn
mediate attention, the Executive,
the Legislative, the judiciary. all
call for corrections which moth
ing but a Constitutional Conven-
ton can provide. For these rea-
sons | favor the holding of the
Convention and advise those Of
my friends who are undecided, to
vote in its favor next Tuesday |
and when thus voting, be sure
to select the ablest and strongest |
candidate as Delegate from be
ria. For my part, | consider Mr..
Burke in that light and shall cast
my vote for him and | believe
that | shall be aiding in the cleo
ton Of one who will take rank
with the best amongst those who |
will give Louisiana it's new or
ganic law.
Very truly,

Seems to us that the proper
time to cut the weeds and imagin-
ary noxious plants ON vacant lots
and other places in towns, is dur
ing frosty weather. II cut in
warm weather and allowed to rot
on the ground, they are likely to
produce miasma. When green
and flourishing, they absorb from
the atmosphere whatever miasma
it may contain. If cut down once
a month throughout the entire
year, as should be done, probably
no harm would result.

Nothing in It

One of our damp friends said to
us yesterday that if Ocala goes
dry, it will cause the town to miss
the visits of many travelling men,
who make it a point to spend Sun.
day IN the city. The Star is tol
erably well acquainted with the
travelling men and hasn t noticed
many booze artists among them.
"A drinking man ism t going to stay
with any influential house very
long. The principal reason why
travelling men come to Ocala is be-
cause it has good railroad commu-
nlcations and good hotels. These
two reasons are not affected by the
existence of the saloons.-Ocals
Star.
The Star is correct. The COM
travellers, as a rule, are
sober men. This writer
knows ii to be so, because for six
years he was amongst them.
Gainesville is a "dry" town, and
yet one OF its hotels is crowded

The great daily papers, includ-
ing of course those Of Florida, of
which we have at least four, have
occupied the field of the weekly
and monthly magazines. What is
now needed in all big cities is a
genuine newspaper, one whose
chief object is to give the news
and nothing but the news, save a
column or two of editorial COM
ment, All general miscellany
and strictly literary matter should
be omitted and left to the province
of the magazines.

The News thinks that Arcadia
needs Carnegie library. Beg
pardon, but no town in America
should have one. The Carnegie
libraries are great humbugs. Not
one citizen in ten ever uses the
books placed in them and yet all
are taxed 10 per cent. of their or
iginal cost to maintain them. In
these days of cheap newspapers
and cheap books, Carnegie libra
ries are not needed, and they
serve only as municipal orna-
ments.
