Money should be only a secondary condltlon'
when the matter of better protecting life ana
.nonorty conoes I'm. An adequate and efficient
fra comuany is more needed than any Quiet
enterprise.
We have before our eyes a vivid account OF
4ha dreadful Paris, Texas, fire, which occurfu
only last week and which destroyed upwards o.
ffteen million dollars worth Of property ana
caused the deaths Of three persons.

than we do. but 0pelousas, as well as every
TOWN in Louisiana could profit from the Paris
experience.
onelousas needs and must have an automobile

more efficient basis, so as to better insure the
safety of property and the taxpayers ought not
fear the expenditure of a few thousand dollars
for the purpose OF equipping the local fire COM
many 81 that there will be no fear Of devastating
fires at times when least expected.
Money spent in this direction is money well
invested.
Suppose that we should be visited by a fire
starting out on Landry, Main or Bellevue street,
during a high wind, and suppose at the same
time a fire would break out on the outskirts
of the city, would not the entire community be
in danger? The propertyowners could lose more
in fifteen minutes than the few thousand dollars
needed to put our fire department on a more
efficient basis.
The City administration has repeatedly been
highly complimented for the splendid manage
ment OF the City's affairs. fer the many improve
ments made hi Opelousas during the past five
years.
In our opinion the progressiveness OF the
members of the city administration can not be
genuine unless they realize the needs Of the
fire department.
Better prenare than TO, await the inevitable.
for surely, unless the city makes the necessary
Improvements needed by the fire company the
outside world will awake some morning to find
0pelousas reduced to ashes.
This is a serious proposition. The city council
should not delay this matter any longer.
Let the city council act on next Tuesday-it
must act sooner or later, whether it be the
present board or not, but necessity demands

IMPOSSIBLE TO RIDE THE WAVE.

The result of the Gaddo election shows
most conclusively that it is impossible for a
politician TO ride the prohibition wave, which
has taken like wild fire in some sections OF
this state.
Gaddo is the home Of Thomas G. Barrett, who
was a candidate for the Democratic nomination
Tor Governor of Louisiana, on a statewide pro-
'aibition platform. Caddo voters have three
times voted III favor of the cause. Mr.. Barfet
III popular in his home parish and the issue ne
was making his campaign on is evidentally also
snepHlar there. but when the votes were counted
on the 25th of last January it was found out
chat Mr.. Pleasant, urging local option, with the
parish as a unit had carried prohibition Gadde.
As a matter of fact the only parish to be car
ried by The prohibition candidate was Acadia, a
wet parish. Thus it is shown that voters in
Louisiana do not follow a politician on the wave,

GOV. HALL is ALSO RIGHT.

week Gov. Hall stated that president Wilson

That the United States should intervene in Mex

long as the Mexican government did not modest
the Americans we should not intervene.
Mexico should be left to the Mexicans, unless
the greasers become TOO insulting to the United
States. There is no reason for this country to
80 into the Southern republic to capture its
cities and ports unless actions Of the Mexican
government warrant such a step.
Political demagogues like Roosevelt would want
