A CRUEL THREAT.

The administration s conduct of
this country's affairs with respect
to the nations Of Europe during
that country's war has moved
Colonel Roosevelt to say that he
will never feel like showing his
face in Europe again.
The colonel was always a stern
man, but who would have thought
he could have been so cruel
When we reflect that there are
millions Of people in Europe who
have never seen the Roosevelt
face We are moved very close to
the verge of tears by this terribly
inhumane threat.
But surely the colonel has
friends. and surely they will be-
seech him, plead with him to un-
say them "crool" words.
War is cruel, degrading and
demoralizing, but when one con-
templates the horror of millions of
people in Europe having to 90
through life without view of the
Roosevelt face, the horrors of war
fade into insignificance.- Beau

War Upon Pain!

Pain is a visitor to every home
and usually it comes quite uneA,
pectedly. But you are prepared
for every emergency if you keep
a small bottle Of Sloan S Llnment
handy. 1t is the greatest pam
killer ever discovered. Simply
laid on the skin-no rubbing re-
quired-it drives the pain away.
It is really wonderful.

after tramping around the Pan
ANA Exposition with wet feet, J
came home with my neck so still
that l couldn't turn. | applied
Sloan s Liniment freely and went

disarpeared. four hours after the

The consensus of OPINION was
that it should be dealt with and

Germany zolverein policy al

DISTRICT JUDGE DECLINES
TO HOLD COURT IN JEF-
FERSON WHILE STATE
TROOPS THERE.

New Orleans, Dec. 2.-The clash
of state and local authorities III
jefferson parish reached an acute
stage this afternoon when Judge
E. Fleury of the district bench
suspended court and refused to
proceed in the case Of the Bara-
taria Land company against the
Louisiana Meadows Company on
the ground "that his court had
been superseded by martial law
by direction of Governor Hall.
Governor Hall promptly replied
that martial law as being exc
cuted by Adjutant General Me
Neese could not possibly be con-
strued as meaning to supersede
the courts. If Judge FleUry does
not hold court, it is because he
does not want to. Any delay in
court procedure in jefferson will
be caused by the parish authori-
ties and they alone are RESPONSE
BILE"
Former Governor j. Y. San
ders and Edward Rightor, attor-
neys for the Barataria Land COM
pany, Immediately appealed to the
supreme court, and that tribunal
tonight issued an order for Judge
Fleury to show cause why his
court should not continue.
Meanwhile at 5 o'clock this
evening, Governor Hall sent for
Sheriff L. II. Marrero and they
were closeted in conference at the
executives apartment for some
time. The executive demanded
to know if the sheriff of Jeffer-
son intended to aid the state and
facilitate it in cleaning up JEFF
ferson." Governor Hall made it
plain to Sheriff. Marrero that his
activity at this time would de-
termine the length Of stay Of the
troops in Jefferson.
Seven slot machines and other
gambling paraphernalia were dis
covered, captured and brought to
headquarters by the militia today.
Rev. Father Stenmans, pastor
of St. Joseph's Catholic church in

NEW SYSTEM PROPOSED.
New Iberia, Dec. 2, 1915.

Editor Enterprise:
Dear sir-You will remember
that in a recent issue OF your val
liable paper, | made mention that
| requested Mayor Sealy to call
a number Of representative cltl-
zens together so that | could be
able to show them and to explain
to them the feasibility OF my
Water Power System, and also
the advisability Of putting my
system in at once in order to DO
away with the great expense or
the present power system OF the
Electric Plant at the present time.
and it seems to me that this will
continue to be the case indefinite
ly. Up to the present date
have heard of no move to grant
my request; is it possible that the
Commissioners believe, or are OF
the opinion that the Power Sys-
tenn | speak Of is not worth the
trouble, this l can hardly believe.
If this be the case, | say that their
opinion Of this power system IS
entirely erroneous, and why? The
entire working of my power sys-
tenn rests on compressed air, Will
not compressed air, as is my
power system do the same as com
plessed air acts everywhere else
in this wide world and as it acts
right here at the Electric Light
Plant, lifting water there. | judge
some thirty feet or more from the
water level to the discharge end.
This being the case, | request all
critics to tell me why compressed
air will not act in the same man.
ner in my power system, which
is dependent on compressed air
to lift sufficient water to GER
tain height and returns through
another pipe by gravity to the
power turbine wheel and which
produces the motive power nee
essary to operate any power sys-
tenn. What does Westinghouse
say, one Of the best authorities in
the United States, Westinghouse
of air brake fame. l quote here
his very words: "The use OF
compressed air for pumping or
lifting water, or other liquid, is
now in such general use as to re-
quire no extended description or
introduction, the simplicity and
ease of maintenance and It's use,
make it far superior to any other
method and to make use OF only
pipes of proper size, properly
proportioned as to size and con-
nections, and properly placed to
remain indefinitely without need
of attention or repairs, the air
may be compressed at any conven-
lent point, such as an existing
power house and yet do pumping
or lifting water, several wells be-
ing pumped if necessary from one
central station. Is not such
proof as this sufficient to convince
any skeptic of the entire feasabll-
ity of my system. Under such
circumstances / cannot see or un-
derstand why it is not more and
of greater interest to the taxpay-
ers to call them together to look
into the advisability. whether or
not a system or power system can
be placed in our Electric Light
Plant that will forever do away
with this expense. Do away with
the system of burning money

very elements, air, that if COM
pressed. will save it. Mr.. Editor
if you think this Of any interest
to the taxpayers you are at liberty
to publish it in your news col
umn.

GOVERNORS MANSION READY.


The legislative committee in charge
OF the work Of repairs on the gov
ernor's mansion is ready to turn over
the building for occupancy by Gov.
Manning and family. They found the
building well kept. so far as the build
ing and premises were concerned, but
there are certain archaic features
about the building which render it al
most impossible as a place Of resi-
dence. This is the first time in IA
years that any improvements were
made. and nothing was done except
to repair the plumbing and such other
things as were absolutely necessary.
Gov. Manning in a few days will
remove his family to Columbia and

The governor will bring his stables,
