appeared as counsel in u num-
Der Of the most noted crialinal
trials ever held in the st. Lam
dry court and he held his own,
if he did not s;lrpass his OPP

fer, as truth of this statement,
to his magnificent and pro-
found argument in the famous
McRee and Walters trials IN
the former for the defense, IN
the latter for the prosecution.
John w. Lewis will measure up
with the best of them. His cp-

no ledge" on him when it
comes down to ability, virility,
and aggressiveness in the con-
duct Of a criminal prosecution.

change in the office of district
attorney. The fight has been
made, time and time again on
Sheriff Swords that he has

While we supported Mr..

office is becoming and fully

man to begin on with the in

things is District Attorney r.
Lee Garland and if John w.
Lewis is elected Gas we conf

then the people in this district
will have started in the right
direction. But, if on the other
hand, the people endorse Mr..
Garland at the polls on Sep
IL, then they will have
no just cause to ever again
speak in favor of rotation in
office and Mr.. Garland should
be accored the office for life

A BUSINESS ROMANCE

There are a few people in any
civilized part of the world who
have not heard of the well-knoWn
kidney remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills.
The story Of the introduction Of this
remedy from country to country
until the globe has been girdled
would read like romance.
It is a strong testimonial to the
merits of a remedy which has now
been on the market for fifty years
and for the progressiveness of a
typical American business firm,
Foster-Milburn Company, Buffalo,
N. Y, who have inspired confidence
everywhere, in their advertising, by
the Use of local testimonials. adv

THE RIGHT MAN.

Opelousas, La, July "a, 1916.
To the Editor of the Clarion:
1t would seem from adyices
received from Washington,
that we made no mistake,
when in 1912, we sent DR.. La
FARO to Congress from this Dis
trict.
| am in receipt Of a letter
from a member of the Louis
lana delegation, which says:
while you are writing me
on matters political, please tell
me frankly what you think the
outlook is for DR.. Lazaro. I
am very much interested in his
success. Not only do I think
a great deal of him personally,
but I know of no more faith
full or Woodworking Congress-
man in our delegation. With
his previous experience and
the friendships he has made
and with his knowledge of the
ropes obtained in his four
years service, it seems to me
that he is certainly better
qualified than either of his OPP
ponents, to serve the people of
the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict."
Add to this Speaker Clark's
advice about changing Con-
gressmen at short intervals in
the language following:
mo man should be elected
to the House simply to crafty
his ambition. All Members
should be elected for the good
of the country.
ut is an unwise perform
ance for any district to change
Representatives at short inter-
walls. A new Congressman
must begin at the class and
spell up. VI course, the more
brains, tact, energy, courage
and industry he has, the quick
err he will get up. If he pos
sesses these qualities. and if
his constituents will keep him
in the House, he is as certain
to rise as the sparks are to fly
upward"
From which it appears, we
have the right man in the
place. st. Landry, Aca-
dia and Evangeline can turn
the trick, and this / believe
they are going to do.

cal experts, realizing the harmful

WILKINSON LEWIS

fNLEEE#f E.aIHaM
In the proper column this
week appears the formal an
nouncement of the candidacy
of Hon. John w. Lewis of Ope-
lousas as a candidate for the
office of district attorney Of
the sixteenth judicial district
court. Everybody in this dis
trict knows John Lewis and he
needs no introduction from u.s..
1t is sufficient to say, so far as
his political record is concern
ed, that he has always been
3in politics" but has never held
any office except as an Ope-

John Lewis is a fair, square,
clean fighter and his candidacy
is a full guarantee in advance
that he will not stoop to any
low and doubtful means to win
the nomination.. And if he
wins-as his many friends
think he wili-the people of
this district can rest assured
that he will measure up'
with the best district attorney
who ever filled the office in
the long and eventful history
Of St. Landry parish.
We have known Jo..n Lewis

seen him enter on the practice

Mat he ranks, young IS he is,

reputation earned by his illus

PEYTON RANDOLPH SAN
DOZ
Opelousos Enterprise:

Under the heading of an
nouncements appears this
week the formal notice of the
candidacy of our good friend,
Peyton Randolph Sandoz, who
is an aspirant for judge of the
sixteenth judicial district
court. To say that The En-
terprise unqualifiedly endorses
Mr.. Sandoz' candidacy is put
ting it mildly.
We have known Peyton San
doz as boy and man since he
was ''knee high to a grasshop-
per-" and we, along with hum
dreds of his friends, pronounce
him a very prince among men.
Fair, square, honest, honora-
BILE, level-headed, in every
sense of the word, thoroughly
equipped to be Judge of any
court, the people Of this dis
trict by honoring him with the
toga of office would be honor
ing themselves.
His life is an open book. He
has no secrets from the whole
world and if he is elected on
September IL the people of
this district; the litigants who
will appear in his court
through counsel; the indicted
persons who may be brought
to trial; the lawyers-each
and every one of them-can
L expect a fair, square deal,
for Peyton Sandoz-"Pat" as
we all know him and love to
call him-knows nothing but
fairness; nothing but honor;
nothing but business, and if the
responsibility Of the judgeship
is entrusted to his hands he
will carefully see that the
trust is not mistreated, for
pat" is not built. in any other
way.
The campaign is just open
ing. The initial gun has just
been fired. There will be a
number of weeks of strenuous
work before the election, and
during that time The Enter4
8prise, championing Peyton
Sandoz's cause and Peyton
Sandoz's candidacy, will have
ample opportunity to present
to its readers full and real and
just reasons why he should be
elected to the high position to
which he is an aspirant. How
ever, we do not expect every
man in this district to have the
same views as ourselves; we
know full well that many will
disagree with us, and it will be
our part to place before these
honest and conscientious voters
full and worthy reasons why
they should march to the polls
on September IL and vote for
Peyton Randolph Sandoz one
of the best and most honorable
boys that ever lived.

PELICAN PRESS OPINION
MIGHT PUT HUSBANDS UN-
DER BOND

Madison Journal: About
the only way to protect a wom-
an is to require that she can
contract marriage only with a
man who has stood civil ser
vice examination for compe-
tency and qualified for honesty
by giving a bond in a surety
company. We see no reason,
however, why a married wom-
an should not control her
property, as well as control
her husband. Nor why she
should not have the right O
squander her money on her
husband or anybody else. The
law reads good enough though
it makes no material change in
the relations of husband or
wife. If the wife is the right
kind she can get all her hus-
band has; if the husband is
not the right kind he gets all
his wife has under the new
law.
