Wllds, in all their desperate
strlfes with savage indians. L
was a memorial and symbol oil
comfort. Our states grew ur
under it. And when our ships
began to swarm upon the ocean
and carry forth our commerce
and inspired by the genial fl ne
OF liberty to carry forth ,ur
ideas, and Great Britain ar,
rogantly demanded the right to
intrude her search warrants on
American decks, then up went the
Tightening flag and every star
meant liberty and every stripe
streamed defiance.
1.-The gallant fleet of Lake Erie.
Have you forgotten it? The
thunders that echoed to either
shore were overshadowed by this
braod ensign Of American Lib.
erty. Those glorious men thlt
went forth IN the old ship Con
stltutlon, carried this banner to
battle and to victory. The old
ship is alive yet. Traitors could
not burn her, they could not sink
her, and she has been hauled out
Of the reach of hostile hands and
traitorous bands. Bless the name,
bless the ship, bless her historic
memory, and bless the old flag
that waves over her yet.
God bless the flag and it's loyal
defenders,
While its broad folds DER the
battle field wave,
Til the dim star wreath, re-
kindle it's splendor.
Washed from it's stains with the
blood Of the brave"

A GLARING MENACE.

We never realize the necessity
of precautions against dangers,
until those dangers become appar-
ent, sometimes in most dcplor-
able and shocking manner. The
necessity Of law is never realized
until conditions. establish a loop
hole for wrong-doing. It. seems
almost phase Of human nature
that we are reluctant to take any
decisive or determined steps to
protect ourselves, until the ne
cessity of such protection be-
comes most glaringly apparent by
a shocking or horrible accident or
tragedy, from such conditions.
But, while we may not have these
examples or accidents or trage-
dies in our own midst, to compel
our attention and realization Of
the danger attendant upon the
reckless driving Of automobiles
ION our streets, we certainly know
of the sad, shocking and horrify-
ing accidents that are happening
daily throughout the country.
we are disposed to go along in
our regular way, with an occa-
sional mild protest against the
danger SO apparent, feeling that
it is none Of our business, and
fulfilling that old truism, "What
lis everybody's business is no.
body's business" but why not
take steps now that will prevent
the shocking accident that is in
sevitable, sooner or later, under
the present conditions? 1T will
be rather late to take steps for
the protection Of our women and
our children and our men, when
something awful occurs, and life
is snapped of, or some one made
q cripple for life. Not a day
that passes has not its instances!
of recklessness, foolish disregard
of all the natural laws Of safety,
and the utter disregard Of hp-
man life. Some Of the drivers
lDf automobiles in New IBERIA
seem to be Of the opinion that so
dong as they sound their alarms,
foot their horns, and thus give
the public notice that they are
approaching and right Of way
must be given them, they have
discharged their full duty to hui
manity. But if they will stopi
and consider the fact that the
daily life Of the average citizen Of
New Iberia is one continual din
Of automobile alarms, street car
grinding and the roar and clatter
OF the scut-outs ON the num-
erious so-called automobiles In
the city, they will realize that it
is difficult to discern when an
automobile alarm is intended to
convey a warming to pedestrians
OF its approach. The average me-
gro automobile driver does mott
sound his horn as q warning 10
those turning corners, crossing
streets, or who may be in danger
ahead Of the car, for that negro
drivers attention is directed to
those whom he is passing, and his
alarm is sounded to attract the
attention Of those near, to his
Importance as q chauffeur. Watch
the average negro chauffeur asl
b goes down some street of curl
city, with the "cut out" roar

ing at rate of 1910 yards per min
ute. Second honors also went to Ra-
cine with a pigeon of P. Thielen and
Son ending at 1368.56 yards per min
ute. Kenosha had six entries, two of
Lawler ending ninth and twenty-fourth
at a rate of 1359.58 and 1274.19 yards

birds is remarkable for the speed shown
in the results.

THOMAS BARRETT 4 SUICIDE.

Lying in pool of his own blood and
partially hidden by the high weeds,
the body of Thomas Barrett, life
long resident of Kenosha county, was
found at six-thirty O'Clock this morn
Ing IN the rear of the barn, located
at 765 Market street. A great cut
IN his throat and an opened razor re-
vealed without any doubt that death
had been caused by his own hand The
place chosen by Barrett for the act of
suicide was along path, frequented
by pedestrians and he was probably
discovered very short time after the
deed was committed. The police and
Coroner Millager were summoned i'm
mediately, but due to the fact that the
evidence of suicide was indisputable
no inquest was made over the body,
prior to its despatch to the morgue.
From Mrs. John Z. McGonegle.
sister, with whom Barrett had made his
home for several years, it was learned
that he was heard leaving the house
on Ridge street about four o'clock
this morning. Later when it was
found that he was without shoes, hat
or coat, a search was started bv the
relatives just after the passerby had
made the gruesome discovery of the
body. An examination Of the body
showed that Barrett had cut both
wrists prior to slashing his throat
so as to deaden the pain as
much as possible.
Dependency over i'll health and the
fear that he was becoming a burden
to his relatives was the palpable rea-
son for the suicide Barrett, who was
forty-siX years old, had for several
years suffered from tuberculosis and
since last January his condition had
become so serious that he had not
been able to work While he had
never expressed any intention of TAX
ing his own life he was noticeablv
nervous on Wednesday although in the
evening he talked with his friends very
much the same as usual. He had often
expressed regret that his physical con
dition forced him to remain idle. al
though there were many opportunities
for work. So far as could be ascer-
tanned he had not been informed that
his physical condition was becoming
worse even though his relatives had
entertained for some time little hope
for his recovery.
Thomas Barrett was a lifelong
resident of Kenosha county; he was
born in the Paris community but for
years had made his home with his sis
ter, Mrs. John McGonegle, 303 Ridge
street. He was employed for some
time at the Balm Wagon Company, but
was forced to give up his work because
of the condition of his health. Three
years ago he was for a short time
patient at the State tuberculosis Camp
at Wales, Wis, and had returned to
Kenosha when his health seemed to
warrant it. He was never married and
three sisters are the only near rela-
tives, who survive him. Thomas Bar
rett was man of good habits and by
his cheerful disposition made many
friends who will greatly regret the
dependency which led to the CHASTITY
tragedy this morning.
