DIPPING VAT CASES
QUASHED.

Monday. The authority unde1
which Dr. Theo. Brand, govern
ment Inspector. and his assistants
have attempted to enforce cattle
dipping during 1913 and this yeal
emanated from the Parish polio,
Jury which in fixing the penalty
for non dipping made the ma~i
mum fine $500. Working under
this ordinance the parish inspec-
tors filed some go atfidavits
against non-dippers. Of which the
present grand jury returned 135
indictments. Last week some
twenty cattlemen pleaded guilty,
were fined $40 by the Court and
sentence was suspended. The
balance Of those indicted, some
100 in number pleaded not guilty.

exceeded its authority, and by
that act the ordinance was null
and void and Of no effect. Argu-
ments on the motion by District
Attorney BrOussard and Attorney
Vuillemot continued until 3 p. NJ.
At 4 o'clock p. NJ. Judge Simon,
after citing numerous decisions,
sustained plaintiffs motion, thus
declaring that the ordinance Of

1t is probable the Police Jury
will draw up another ordinance at
it's meeting next week by which
the work can proceed as hereto

Theo. Brand who represents the
Government in this important
work. 1t would have been a |
hardship on many had these fines
been imposed at the present time,
but we have reason to believe
there will be no further objection
to dipping on the part of the peo-

erect a few more dipping watts in

THE SUBSTITUTE FOR

The Bethlehem Steel Company

American newspapers lately, op.
posing the governments plant tc

The ads are statements ad.
dressed "To the People, They
give many facts regarding the
history of the armor plate indus
try and their own dealings with
the United States government and
foreign governments. The manu-.
facturers argue that they have
never taken undue advantage Of
our government. that the govern
ment cannot manufacture armor
better or cheaper than they can,
that they have developed and
maintained their plant as much
for patriotic reasons as for Lrofits,
that they now have a big invest
ment which would be destroyed If
the government stopped patroniz-
ING it, and that it is unjust for
the Government to compete with
them or withdraw it's patronage.
As evidence of their good faith,
they offer to continue supplying
the armor needed for warships
at whatever price q disinterested
commission shall pronounce fair.
Whatever may be the merit of
their arguments, the important
fact about the whole business is
that the great Bethlehem Steel

AN UNBoegED CHIEF IxIou,
TIVE.

During the state campaign.
which resulted in the overwhel-
ming election Of Col. Pleasant as
governor Of Louisiana, we fire.
frequently heard expressions by
those opposing him that he would
be the tool Of the New Orleans
political machine. The cry that
he would be the plant tool of the
bosses has ended in an echo. Ruff
I'm Pleasant is the governor of the
whole state. Even many of his
political enemies now concede
him as being a good governor.
They even admit that they be-
lieve that he intends doing the
Fright thing" as he sees the light
before him. The threat Of boss
rule or ring rule was never less
apparent IN Louisiana than it is
now. The sod,tiAe, bukaboo Of

~, ATS CALLS US TO TASK.

While it was not our intention
L again mention the printing
ltract as awarded by the Po.
nee Jury. as we have stated the
conditions upon which the print
ing was awarded to the Coast
Herald. a newspaper that has SO
few readers in any other part of
the Parish that the minutes. UNI
less published by us will never be
seen by three -fourths of the tax
payers. Mr.. Watts article Of
last Saturday headed "Some-
body's Ok Gored. - necessitates a
reply for more reasons than one.
Brother Watts again in his con-
tentions. says that had a Demo
cratic Police Jury been elected,
we would have exacted the full
rate of Zoe. is almost unworthy
of reply. How can he presume
OH what we would have done had
the conditions been otherwise,
and. again how does he know
that the members would have
stood for it. even though we made
such tender. One would Judge
by his diatribe that the Herald
was primarily responsible for
the election Of all of the public
officials that are now in Office in
this Parish. This Of itself is the
greatest piece Of buncombe and
bragadOciO we have ever heard
uttered by a newspaper man
since it has been our pleasure to
publish newspaper. If what
he says is correct. then it seems
strange to us that some years
ago one of these Democra-
tic Police Juries took the work |
from us and gave it to the Herald
when he offered a bonus Of
Two Hundred Dollars, which
by the way the books of the Po-
lice Jury does not show was ever
paid to the Parish. If this
amount has not been paid, and
there is no record of its having
been paid. we do not think his
proposition should have been
entertained at all. Our bid was
the lowest four years ago, and at
the end of every fiscal year the
old Police Jury. with one excep-
ton. called for bids. This does
not look like we dominated the
gentlemen who comprised the
Jury and Brother Watts illu-
sions to the contrary are certainly
not based on a solid foundation,
We still contend that a bad
precedent was established when
bids to perform the work at a
reasonable figure were rejected,
but. if the members of the Jury
who voted the full rate, feel that
it was the right thing to do.
despite public opinion, then we
have done our duty in the prem
ises when we submitted a bid by
which money could be saved the
people.
