solute nonentity. Unfortunately
there are some good patriotic
men. who are being deceived by
the specious arguments advanced
by the Ewing-Behrman coterie in
Mr.. Gays behalf, but it is hoped
that ere long their eyes will be
opened and the true situation dis
closed to them.
This Journal was the first in
Louisiana to espOuse the can
didacy Of Governor Hall, but it
does not in any measure belittle
the claims of Mr.. Overton nor
does it wish to take from Mr.. Gay
his many civic virtues. We are
proud Of the fact that Louisiana
possesses Mr.. Overton as a native
son and we congratulate him on
the opposition his candidacy has
evoked in certain quarters in the
City of New Orleans. And we re-
greet that Mr.. Gay should have
given listening ear to the allure
ments of the bosses of New Or
leans.
We believe that Governor Hall
should be elected because of his
large experience in public affairs,
and because Of his great moral
courage and towering ability. Ad-
ditionally, we know that he is a
friend of the sugar industry of
Louisiana and we remember how
bravely he undertook its fight
against the iniquitous Sugar Trust
when he was Governor.
iberia, it would seem, is gen.
orally united in its support Of
Governor Hall, and it is crafty
ing indeed to know that at any
rate and at all events. the Ewing
Behrman influence does not ap-
probably extend to our Parish.
Upon what meat do these little
political Caesars feed that they
should wax so fat in their politi-
cal powersls?
We wonder and we marvel at
The citizenship of New Orleans
permitting these two bosses to
dominate their politics.
How much greater and dearer
10 Louisiana would New Orleans
be. IL her citizenship would dis
,ard the type of political leaders
with which she is. sad to relate,

BOY SCOUTS TROOP NO. 1.

! The Boy Scouts of New Iberia,
Troop No. l spent two days at
the Bay, they were in charge of
Rev. H. n. Brown, Scoutmaster
of the troop. The Scouts were
taken to the Commercial Canal in
vehicle and from there boat
brought them to the bay. Ar
irving at the beautiful waters Of
Vermilion Bay, they were taken
to a tishermans' cabin in which
they made their sleeping quarters
for the night. After unloading the
boat and bringing their bundles
to a building nearby, they went
in swimming, the water being just
right. Later in the evening
rain storm came up; after it sub
sided, the boys fought the mos
quitoes for several hours after
which the bars were put up, and
the beds fixed for the night.
About ten o'clock the lights were
out. Some Of the bars had holes
in them and there was not much
slumber for the occupants. They
got good taste of outdoor sleep
ing, for some of them said that
coolies were n them. We don't
know whether it was coolies, red
bugs. or mosquitoes, but they made
a lot Of racket. Some were not
quiet by twelve o'clock. AT one
o'clock some were up thinking it
was almost sunrise. At five thirty
o'clock a number Of the Scouts
took a plunge in the cold water,
for it was exceedingly chilly. At
seven thirty fire was started and
coffee was ready, after which the
boys seined little with fisher
man. Later in the day they
caught about six dozen crabs. At
eleven thirty they decided to pay
Weeks Island visit, so they
rowed to the hill (Which was
q fifth Of a mile from the camp)
and walked about two and one
half miles through the mud, and
arrived at Weeks Island sale mine.
They were told that nobody was
allowed in the mines at the pres
ent, 50 they turned back towards
camp. It rained almost the whole
time and the party started back
for home. They intended staying
until Thursday but the weather
was far too inclement.
Those who enjoyed the outing
were Rev. H. N. Brown, Nat Good
win. John Crews. Frank Reynaud,
Carroll Curtis, Carl Theriot, Ed
win Simon, Henry Bernard, Wal
ter Bodm and Marcus Fisher.

The friends in New Iberia Of
Mr.. Walter F. VOORHEES, will be
gratifed to learn that he is now

banking circles of vice-president
Of the National City Bank of New
York, an institution whose assets
total 1871, $40, $4,000. It is in
reality one of the largest banking
houses in America. It will be re-
membered Mr.. VOORHEES, was in the
employ of this concern in Uru-
quay for several years, and hav-
ing managed their large interests
so successfully he was transferred
to New York where q promotion
awaited him. Mr.. VOORHEES, conf

ut Will be noted from the MIN
utes Of the Board Of Trustees ap-
pearinR in another column, who
were in session last Monday that
the petition Of the business men
imploring the City, Fathers to take
steps to improve our main thor
oughfare has been received and
favorably acted upon. The petit
ton was circulated and presented
to the Council at this time because
the general impression prevails
among the business men that if
we are to delay much longer the
streets would be impossible in
many places and this winter It
would be impossible to even Sc
cure gravel. owing to the comics
ton Of the railroads. We are
pleased to report Mayor Sealy
had already been in touch with
engineers and the entire matter
would have been acted upon by
the Council just as soon as it
could be put in tangible form.
Tho sconcensus opinion among the
members Of the Commission il for
Z, more permanent paving than
Tioea gravel and in this respect,
We believe they are correct. II
matters not just what form Of
paving viii be selected, just so
long 9 the work can be carried
on ,and completed before the
rainy season sets in which won't
be many months. The Enter,
prise has been 4 staunch advocate
Of paved streets for some fifteen
or more years and time and again.
within the past three months we
have been beseiaed with requests
to call the attention Of the people
to this needed improvement,
since the tax was voted
for this purpose.
Mayor Sealy and Commissioners
Villermin and Girard have al
ways stood for paved streets, but
since the war, conditions arose
which estopped them from pro-
ceedin9 with the work as they had
intended. Recently, however,
they have been put in touch with
some capitalists with whom they
hope. to foat the bonds and we
hope ere long to announce the
work underway.

THE TROLLEY LINE.

/ New Iberia has had another
set back in the loss Of the Trolley
| Line operated by the Southwest
ern Traction and Power Company
between this City and Jeanerette.
For several months an impression
prevailed here that it was only
a question of time before orders
would come from headquarters at
New Orleans to cease further ope-
ration. On Saturday morning
Mr.. Smith, the local manager, re-
ceived instructions to close down
and pay off the conductors and
linemen after the last car was
operated on that day. The orders
were carried out to the letter and
now New Iberia has lost one Of
it's best assets, despite the fact our
| people taxed themselves heavily
TO secure this important interur-
/ ban. Some time since, an effort was
made on the part of the manage
mem to get the municipalities Of
Jeanerette and our City to take
over the line in it's entirety. This
evidently did not meet with favor
because Of lack of finances and
nothing was done by those in au-
thority to bring the matter to
head Had the Traction Company
carried out their original inten-
ton and belted New iberia when
the line was first constructed we
arc constrained to believe the re-
ceipts would have justified it's
continuance. When the tax was
voted many of our people were Of
the opinion that this was the in
tention because rights-of-ways
had been granted to the Company
over several other streets. After
the tax was carried the directors
never carried out their obliga-
tions. and as q consequence, they
were deprived of volume of
business they should have re-
ceived. As the matter stands at
present the taxpayers are out
many thousands Of dollars taxes
and the residents who reside long
the route between the two cities
now suffer a great inconvenience.
Besides that the merchants Of our
City will lose great deal Of trade
that formerly came here. Wheth-
er the Company intends to make
a refund Of the money they col
lected in taxes or not, we do not
know. We do know, however,
that a large number Of the citi~|
zens both in Jeanerette and New
Iberia are Of the opinion that the
tracks nd overhead wires should
not be taken mp until restitution
has been made in some form or |
other. It is unfortunate the two
municipalities are not in position
to handle the proposition and OK
tend the line as was intended at |
the time our citizens voted the tax.
If that was done the road could
be made paying one from the |
start. An extension to Delcambre
and Erath out Of New Iberia
would bring an enormous trade to |
this community. We feel satisfied
it would be worth the price if the
people would take the line over
and operate into. new territory.
There is no doubt the suspension
Of this road is one Of the greatest |
losses New Iberia has ever had
and already the merchants have
begun to fell its effect.
