bit of literature the presidents ad-
dress is worthy of closest study: as
a political document it is one of the
most important events of the war.
A more noble explanation of Amer
lean war aims could not have been
given, and the position taken by the
president will have profound affect
upon our allies. Vindictiveness
naturally colors French and British
public opinion to some extent: Will
sons straightforward committal Of
American influence upon the side of
justice in the final settlement will
have an influence which may change
the history of the world II the
message does not actually hasten the
end Of the war by arousing the Ger
man people to an understanding of
the American spirit it will at least
serve in making the final peace
terms such that war in the future
will be less probable"
JOSEPH GOLDMAN, Russian Rabbi
You can feel the justice of what he
says. 1t is more than understand

president thrills the heart and finds
answer there. Mr.. Wilson has ex-
pressed the ideals for which the

understood all over the world 1t

Few events of the war have made u
more profound impression upon Mis-
soula people than the address which
President Woodrow Wilson delivered
to congress yesterday. The ideaiism
Of the executives speech found few
unwilling readers in MissOula. That
the president expressed the sentiment
of the American people when he de-
clarcd that justice for enemies as
well as friends Is the nations aim was
proved by the response Of men and
women everywhere to the statement.
This phase more than any other
stirred the general public. though the
presidents avOwal that the United
States must cxpend every energy in
the great task Of prosecuting the war
to Il successful conclusion was re-
ceived with enthusiasm.

THE SEWERAGE

! Last Thursday night the First

composed Of Messrs. Jules Drey-
fus. Edward Estorge. Chas. h.
Provost, Lazard King and Chas.
liOUgUenhelm met at the City
Nall for the purpose Of consider
Fig the bids TO be sold for the in
staIlation Of the Sewerage Sys-
tenn for our little City. At the
meeting were representatives Of
bond buyers from Toledo, Ohio;
Chicago. IT.; Cincinnati, Ohio.
New Orleans. la; Kansas City,
Me. and our neighborlng town of
Lafayette. who was represented
by Mr.. ! &. Barry. bidder for the
Bank Of Lafavctte After some
little discussion amongst the
board members it was the con
censous Of opinion that the Bank
Of Lafayette was entitled to the
issue by virtue of It's bid. These
people offered not only par for the
bonds. but also handsome premrt
ium Of 100000. Every bid SUBJ
mitted contained premiums which
goes to show how eager capitalists
are to purchase bonds in such
denomination as ours, backed by
a tax covering the life Of the is
sue. The bids submitted this time
were much better than before
when they were declared illegal
by bond attorneys III the East and
it was necessary that the entire
proceedings be gone over again. |
just as soon as the attorney S
representing the bond buyer will |
give his opinion rs to the legality |
of tins transaction, then the Com |
mission will be in position to call
for bids for the work of laying |
the pipes. etc. Mr.. y. 4. Kramer. I
the engineer Of the Board upon
being asked bv us when he thought /
the work would begin. informed /
us that by the middle Of March ,
the important work Of building
this sewerage system would be un-
der full hcadWay and before the
end of the year all of the connec-
tons would be finished and New !
Iberia would then have as good
system as there is IN louisiana.
According to remarks made to
Mayor Sealy at the meeting by
the engineer Of the board. IT
seems that the only material that
has not advanced in price since
the war which has affected other
is sewer pipe that r IS
cheap to-day as it wes TWO years
ago. This is q. god piece Of news
and will be the means Of enabling
the Board TO select none but the
beg when contracts are given out
Cor the purchase of the pipes, etc.
The meeting was n harmonious
one and the taxpayers of our lit
tie City has such high opinion
of the ability " the Board to
handle these matters that outside

OIL IN IBERIA.

Many Of our older citizens
will remember that some twenty
years ago, Hon. John Emmer,
who at that time owned a vast
tract Of land in East End where
he operated a brick yard was very
pronounced IN his assertions that
oil existed under the earth in
that vicinity. Mr.. Emmcr was
SO convinced in this matter that
he sent down about two hundred
feet a small onc-inch pipe, in fact
kent at work for several weeks.
Not being an expert and neither
having the improved machinery
used to-day for the purpose Of
bringing up the fluid, he gave up
the task and abandoned the pro
jcct. Since. this valuable real
estate has changed hands, passing
over from him to his son, DR.. A.
G. Emmer and thence to Mr..
Alexis VOORHEES,. For some two
or more wears this gentleman has
also observed indications Of oil
and within the past ten days
these Indications are more pro
nounced than ever It was our
pleasure to visit the SPOT on Tues
day. together with several other
citizens. and we must say in all
candor that to our mud the ilucd
Indications arc as good as the field
where the Gulf people are en-
ployed drilling n well. While
the gas is not SO prominent as
at the new fields. the oil is actual
" oozing out Of the ground and
running into the BAYOU about one
hundred feet distant. From what
we learn. Mr.. VOORHEES, and the
adjacent property holders. which
comprise the lands Of the Lewis
estate as well as DR.. Emmer are
using their best efforts to get
some capitalists interested enough
to send we'll down several thou
sand feet to -s4 II they cannot
strike a gushti'. If there is oil
at that spot There is no reason why
this whole country has not got oil
under it as was always contended
nv biologists some centuries ago.
In book entitled After Death
the Disembodiment of Man, y
written by one, Paschal Beverley
Randolph in the year 1868 of
which a copy of the fourth edi-
ton is owned by Mr.. W. G.
Weeks, the author made the sub
joined remarks as regards Pc
troleum lakes in this Parish which
was a part of st. Martin at the
time the interesting volume was
penned. We reproduce only a
few lines to give our readers an
idea of this gentleman's impress
sions as far back as that time. Tn
one of his passages he said Just
like the mighty bay of oil now
underlying the parish of St Mar
tins. Louisiana. and which branch
es off to Rapides. Vermilion. La
fayette and Calcasieu-a body
large enough and deep enough to
furnish fuel to the world for a
century. y 1t is a wonder to us
that our people did not long ago
penetrate the earth to find this
valuable tlued which has been I'M
disturbed these many years.

The Habit Of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is easily
broken. Take a cold sponge bath every
morning when you first get out of bed
not ice cold, but temperature of about

MANY CARS TO ORIENT.
Japan and Chinn This Year Arc Talk
ing Lnrge Part of American Output
and Improving Roads.

The number of American motor cars
that are being sold in China and Japan
Is plainly a remarkable feature Of this
years export automobile business
states trade bulletin issued by the
Haynes Automobile Company. In the
last week two consignments of these
cars have gone to Pacific coast cities
for transportation to China and Japan.
The seaport cities Of these countries
have long been considered markets of
great potentiality. The last two years
trading has brought an influx of
money into the Oriental business CEN
ters, and marked stimulus in motor
car sales and road building has been an
evident result. While China has led in
the number OF automobiles in the past.
this year Japan is purchasing more
motor cars than China.
The motor cars which the Japanese
and Chinese people are buying are
specially built only to a limited extent.
AS in the instance of practically nil
cars which are sold outside the borders
Of the United States, the departure
from the usual mode OF manufacture
amounts to equipping with right hand
drive the use of clincher instead of
straight side tires, and specdometers
marked for kilometers instead of miles.
Tho evolution of q marked demand
for automobiles in the East came at
An opportune time for American man
ufacturers to supply this trade. While
European export sales are good, the
freight and insurance rates to Atlantic
seaports abroad have advanced to
point that makes the cost of transport
tation only n little less than the cost
of the product. 1t costs 81 300 to for
ward s1.525 car from New York to
Bordeaux. France.
The reconstruction Of the primitive
roads In Japan and China may be said
to mark the opening Of new era OF
transportation in these countries. In
past years tho narrow city streets
which the natives used as sidewalks
and the unsurfaced country roads have
made motor travel difficult. Tho mod
ernization Of cities has generally meant
better streets and In Japan highway
system is being developed between tho
cities Of Yokohama. Tokyo, Osake and
Nagoya.
