CeiVed-Welsh Grocery.

The Parish House, residence of the
Rev. Father j. P. Ferret, is being treat.
ed to fresh coat of paint and other.
wise being repaired and beautified this
week. The activity and industry of
Father Ferret is very much manifest
in the attractive appearance OF the
church, the residence and surrounding
grounds, much of which has come
about by the fruit of his own toll. An.
other great improvement to the civic
appearance of Welsh in which Father
Ferret shares interest with the Catho.
lie Ladies Cemetery Society is the
identifying of the Catholic Cemetery.
While this work was only begun last
year, the plot having previously re-
ceived little care, the effect is very
noticeable, and the same effort expend.
ed this year should make it an attrac.
tive place.

The Democratic Platform.
Lake Charles Press:


The AmeriCan-PresS believes that the
Democratic State Central Committee
took a forward step Wednesday when it
adopted the declaration of principles
which is to guide the Legislature in its
deliberations. We admit that the fran.
ing of platform does not properly be-
long to the party committee; It's duties
are merely executive; Properly plat
form should be constructed by a party
convention called for that purpose long
before the primary is held and the can
didateS are nominated. But it is in
tinitely better for state central COM
mlttee to formulate such "a declaration
than for the members of the LegiSla-
ture TO enter upon their duties I'M
pledged to anything and responsible to
nobody, as has been the case in LouiSi-
ana for twelve years or more, and
guided only by the personal wishes of
the governor, which they may discard
or adopt as they please.
