Mayor and Officer Anselm At
Loggerhead.

Elsewhere we publish the official pro-
ceedings of the Board of Aldermen of this
city wherein it is made to appear that the
Mayor and officer Anselm were at logger
head.
Tt appears the Mayor ordered Mr.. Anselm
to make an affidavit which this one refused
to do.
The matter was taken up before the
Board and it found there was a misunder-
standing between the mayor and the officer.
The upshot of the matter was. the officer
was reprimanded with instructions to here
after carry out the mayors orders.
The only way for the mayor and officers
to succeed, is to work in harmony. There
should be no pulling apart. All should pull
together for the common good.
The Clarion desires tosee the city prosper.
This can only be accomplished by a united
effort Of all officials. Pull together boys,
and make this the best town in the state.

Mr.. Andrus To Run For Assessor

In conversation with a reporter of this
paper, Mr.. A. l.. Andrus better known as
Kelley" Andrus, stated he was a candidate
for the Office of parish assessor and was in
the race to stay.
Mr.. Andrus has been for the past eight
years the Deputy Tax Collector Of this par
ish. He has by his genial manners, sober
habits and strict attention to business. made
many friends.
The Clarion while playing no favorites,
and as yer being committed to no one, does
not hesitate to say that if Mr.. Andrus is
elected to this Office, he will creditably fill
the same. He possesses ability sufficient
and experience besides to qualify him for
the office.

LOWER RATES.
Opelousas, La, January, Is, 1911

Opelousas, La, January, 13, 1915.
Editor of the Clarion: I have read with
interest in the proceedings of the City Coun-
Gil of January 5, 1915, the report of the Su-
perintendent of the municipal electric and
water plant. The report shows a very
healthy condition of affairs in that depart
ment, 1T having earned over and above ex-
penses during the month Of December SHOT,
80. This should be gratifying to both the
public and the Superintendent, because it
shows that the plant is being efficiently and
economically operated. On the other hand.
it should not be forgotten that municipality
owned public utilities are not operated for
the purpose of profit and that their products
should be furnished to the public at cost,
making provision. of course, for proper up
keep, etc.
The present rates for electricity and
water are the same now as they were when
the plant was in bad condition, when it had
obsolete machinery which consumed great
quantities of expensive fuel, and when it
being operated at a loss of several hun
ared dollars per month. It appears, there
fore, that in the absence of very good rea-
IONS to the contrary there should be a down
ward revision of the electric light and water
,ariffs.

Delhi Progress: Owing to the in
creased demand for free space by different
societies. churches and other worthy insti-
%tutlons, we will hereafter make a charge
for all space used in announcing entertain
ments, etc. This will include church sap
pers, bazars, entertainments by societies,
also card of thanks. resolutions from all
sources; obituaries of over one hundred
words will be charged for at the regular
rates Of advertising. This is for all alike,
exception to the rule.

The entire Louisiana delegation in Con-
gress voted against the Suffrage amendment
and sent a bolt of lightning through the
hearts OF many ardent supporters of the
fair sex. The Louisiana Congressman claim
that the issue is not a national one but a
state affair, bringing to mind Reconstruc-
ton days. when the negroes were allowed to
vote. Ii a state passes a suffrage law, how
ever. it is claimed that the negro can once
more be eliminated.

A SENTIMENT FOR THE NEW yEAE

st. Helena Echo: We meet the new
year without any fear or t%repidation. We
are here in this beautiful country, blessed
of God in ten thousand ways. He feeds
the sparrows. and has intimated that we
are worth more than many sparrows, and
we believe that if we appropriate the means
which He has given, we shall be fed, and
those dear to us shall not suffer. Let our
people take courage. We have fertile lands;
the most delightful climate in the world;
God sends His sunshine and his rains in
profusion upon all alike; thh gentle zephyrs
that fan our cheeks from off the Gulf bring
US health and bodily comfort, and it is worse
than treason and d~isloyalty to God, our
Heavenly Father, to murmur and complain.

BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS.

During the latter part of last week New
Orleans fttingly honored the memory OF
General jackson and his gallant band of
fighters. who so bravely defended New Or
leans from the Britons ON January Sth, 1916.
the last battle between the American and
British forces.
On the historic battlefield Of Chalmette,
just outside of New Orleans, memorable
deeds of soldiers who died for their country,
as well as those who fought furiously for
their rights, were wildly recalled by nation
wide known orators who were sent to New
Orleans to do homage to the souls of the de-
parted gallant fighters.
At the old Cathedral, in front of which
General Jackson was crowned by Pere Du-
bourg. one hundred years Ago.. Military
High Mass, by the Bishop Laval, was sung
in honor of the celebration of the battle of
New Orleans.
The entire celebration was worthy of
the name Of New Orleans and General Jack
son. The Louisiana metropolis is response
Bile for one of the most patriotic ceIebra-
tons ever held in the United States.

THE MENACE OF STREET FAIRS

The Clarion has repeatedly called the
attention Of the public to the menace of
street fairs; it has attempted to show the
people of Opelousas why street carnivals
should be the most unwelcomed guests here
and to some extent we think we have sue
ceeded. However, during the past year one
street fair exhibited in this city, leaving be-
hind it an odor which will never be forgot
ten and which we think, will be the cause of
street carnivals never stopping in Opelousas.
The street fair which exhibited on the
courthouse square last week was not only a
financial failure, as far as the Firemen are
concerned, but it was a dire shame and dis
grace to the public spirited citizens of this
community; the amusement loving public,
as well as the fire boys themselves, were
thoroughly disgusted with the whole affair,
not one performance being worthy of ex-
hibiting in Opelousas, besides the many
gambling joints" being wholly unbearable.
Had the carnival been a good one and
the fire boys could have realized some money
out of it the Clarion would have naught to
say, because we believe that the local fire
50AAAR6AJ - Al ANCA VI llIUICy1 dLu duYLuIUR
that will bring them any funds is welcomed
by US. There are so few street carnivals
that are worth ever a passing thought that
we hardly think that they could ever defray
expenses in Opelousas.
These street carnivals exhibit in Louis
lana cities under the auspices Of lodges and
organizations, not out of love or considera-
ton for these bodies of men, but simply and
solely for the purpose of beating out
the license, which would have to be paid
the city. In this particular instance the
city received no money from the manage
ment of the street fair and the iremen
nothing but worry, as we are informed that
the carnival had to remain in Opelousas one
week longer than it's allotted time in order
to attempt to meet the amount advanced
them by the Opelousas Fire Company.
The Clarion hopes that the fireboys will
make a firm New Year resolution never to
invite street carnivals to exhibit in this city
under their auspices, and that the city, as
well as the people will awake to the fact
the fire company needs money and the
safest and best way to assure sufficient
funds for this patriotic organization, is pub
lie support.
We wish it to be thoroughly understood !
that we attach no blame whatever to the
EN- for having brought the street carni- :
val to this city, We are only warning them ).
# q fact, which we believe they fully re- :
alize at present. :

scANDALOUs BATON ROUGE.

& ---- #@4 a#M
Baton Rouge furnished fireworks and
political gossip this week which will be the
talk of the town" for sometime to come.
First there was the removal of Bank
Examiner, W. l.. Young, by the Governor.
Then the refusal of Mr.. Young to be remov-
ed. He prayed for an injunction denying
the Governors right to remove him. This
was followed by the sensational arrest of the
officers Of the Capital City Bank. When ar
raigned on Monday, they pleaded guilty.
The Judge condemned from the bench, the
haste issued by the prosecution. Elsewhere
in our columns, we reproduce the Judges
remarks and give a synopsis of the Young
trial.
The Governor it would seem is determin-
ed to hold on to the Office. The courts will
have to finally settle the matter.
To cap the climax, Mr.. Horace Wilkin-
son, Chairman of the State Democratic Com
mittee, and member of the Legislature from
West Baton Rouge parish, has charged that
Secretary of State Hebert entered into a
combination, or rather an agreement with
LllS 1IlSIOS VI NIL. oLCWdl Y, I'LL vi Lax
Board of Appraisers, whereby Mr.. Hebert
would help to elect Mr.. Stewart, and his
friends would assist in preventing Fred J..
Grace, Register Of the State Land Office,
from being prosecuted.
Mr.. Hebert asserts he will be prepared
to defend himself after the election Of the
members of the Board of Appraisers.
This Board of Appraisers is elected by
the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Treasur-
er, Attorney General and Secretary of State.
It is composed of the Auditor and one from
each Congressional District.
In some way, the Seventh and Eighth
Districts have never been represented
thereon.
This is not right. These two districts
have as much at stake as the other six, and
the people therefrom, should insist upon
being represented thereon.
The Clarion is playing no favorites in
various scandals. In the language of
it's friend, Judge Dupre, it exclaims:
Let no guilty man escape, if it can be
avoided. No personal considerations should
stand in the way of performing a duty"
Since the above was written, the Item
Of Wednesday has reached US with scarce
headlines to the effect: Young denounced
by Hall and McCausland." In the body of
interview given out by Mr.. McCausland,
he says:
Bank Examiner, w. L. Young, is a de-
liberate liar and f~alsifier."
Of course, Mr.. Young will make reply.
The Clarion will endeavor to keep its readers
touch with the situation, merely giving
he news without any comment.
In the same paper, the Attorney Gene
gives out a statement, or rather publish
g a letter he had written to the Governor,
n which he defends his course in ordering
he prosecution of the bank officials, assert
ng it was his duty to do so under the law.

4 CROWDED STEAMER

4 friend was complaining the ether day to Captain Barber, port captain of the state pilots, says a San Francisco paper, about the crowded condition of the steamboat on which he recently made a trip.
 -Four in room" replied Barber. That's nothing.
 You should have travsIod in the days of the gold rush to California. ! remember one trip out of New York we carried more than 1,000 passengers, and If you put fifty On that ship today there'd be a holler that would reach Washington and make trouble for somebody. To show you how crowded it was and what crowded really means three days out from New York chap walked up to the old man and said
 "'Captain, you really must find me place to sleep.
 "'Where in thunder have you been sleep ing until now? asked the old man.
 "'Well,' says the fellow, you see, it's this way. I've been sleeping on a sick man, but he's getting better now and won't stand for it much longer
