DEFENSE LEAGUE MEETING

On Wednesday evening the Elk
Theatre was again packed to
overfowing by the patriotic and
liberty-loving people Of New Ibe-
ria in response to an invitation t.
hear war topics discussed by Hon.
Sambola Jones of Baton Rouge
and Hon. Leon Locke Of Lake
Charles, who superseded DR.. Os-
car Bowling. who was on the pro-
gram for an address, but having
taken i'll at New Orleans could
not be present. The meeting was
opened by DIR. Henry A. King,
the chairman of the Local De-
Tense League. After making a
few appropriate remarks, he
called upon Mr.. Jules, Dreyfus,
who discussed war subjects for
fully thirty minutes. The next
speaker introduced was Mr..
Locke who dwelt upon the issues
leading to the war and urged all
the citizens Of iberia to lend
their assistance in the conserva-
ton Of food stuffs as outlined by
the powers at Washington. His
speech was well received and he
made quite an impression upon
the audience. Mr.. Jones was
then introduced. despite the fact
that he was indisposed due to an
attack Of illness. and it was not
long before he was recognized as
one of the most brilliant orators
in Louisiana. His speech made a
lasting impression upon his hear
ers. and If there was any one in
the audience, who left. not con-
WINGED that the United States is
in the war to win. then no one
could have changed their opin-
ion. He enumerated almost ev-
cry incident which led us into
this horrible holocaust and eluci-
dated upon the duties of every
citizen to help the boys
at the front. He paid great
tribute to President Wilson and
expressed, his regret that Senator
Broussard's health prevented his

playing havoc with the town and
country roads and in many pla.
ces it is impossible for vehicles
to navigate without being SO
begged that their cars have to be
deserted until help can be Sc
cured. This is deplorable. espec-
tally when the good people of
New Iberia and nearly every
Ward in the Parish voted special
road taxes. It is hoped before
long ways and means will be
found to dispose Of the bonds and
get the necessary material to start
this laudable work. The masses
Of the people Of this Parish haze
now realized that dirt roads can
never be made good and service
able in times of rainy weather,
and there is nothing to do but
to levy upon themselves sufficient
taxes to change the system Of
road building in this Parish. This
should not, however, deter the
Police Jury from securing the
services in each Ward of a team
when necessary to drag the roads
after every shower. so as to drain
them. It can be done at So little
cost and oftentimes prevent a
bog hole, thus impeding traffic for
hours at a time. The matter If
public bridges is another question
of serious Importance to the
user Of public roads. Were the
property owners when they see a
plank broken to take little
trouble and make the repairs
much good would be derived.
Sometimes at, a cost of less than
soc bridge could be nailed dowa
or a board installed that would
prevent the crippling Of am ami
NAL. Take for instance the large
bridge crossing the canal at the
Sandager Plantation. Unless re-
pairs have been made to this
bridge within the past TEN days
there is still a hole in it that is
really dangerous. The bridge can
be used with safety in the day
time, but at night an animal is
apt to fall in and break leg, and
all because no one feels interested
enough to secure a piece of lum-
Der and fix it. If every one who
has to use a public road would
interest themselves, in matters of
this kind they themselves would
be rendering a public service to
the community. Instead of doing
the work themselves they await
the action of Police Juries and by
the time a meeting takes place
and the work executed, probably
a half dozen accidents have taken
place. Let every user Of pub
lie road make it his business when
he sees a loose piece of timber 10
bring along a hammer and nails
and the next time he passes
fix it. Do not wait for others
who use the road once a month
to take the lead. 1t is those who
pass over these bridges the most
who should be the ones to set a
worthy example.

Steadfast in our faith and trust
To claim victory that is just.

Desolating through the years.

ssBooZE" TRAFFIC HEAVY
Travel From Baltimore to Washington
Since it Went Dry Much
Increased.

So extensive has become the "boot-
logging" between this city and Wash
ington since the 1ast-named place be-
came dry that the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis Railway manage
ment has been somewhat put to it to
meet the increased traffic of those
passengers who come to Baltimore for
their supply of wet goods. The travel
is heaviest at the end of the week,
and the assumption seems to be that
all Washington has its thirst more
aggravated on Saturday and Sunday
than at any other time.
This travel has grown so that the
railway company has made special
provision to meet it by placing extra
trains and added special cars to some
of the regular trains. There are now
FIVE trains leaving the city each day,
largely for the accommodation of
those who convey this liquor for them
selves or to their friends to dry
Washington. These leave this city at
10, -, 2, q and 5 o'clock, each train
carrying from three to five coaches
with sometimes six coaches on Satur-
day. Most of them are we'll filled
