ure, and | trust that the voters
of Louisiana will find it to be not
only their duty, as a matter Of
right and justice, but also to the
advantage Of our local civilization
to east their ballots in support of
the amendment.
IF the Southern states do not
give to the women the right to
vote through state act;on it is alb
sOlutelW certain that the nation
will give it to them through fed
eral action. This year two-thirds
Of the members of the National
House of Representatives voted
for the submission Of the suffrage
amendment, and almost two
thirds of the Senate did likewise.
This vote in the National Congress
shows that a powerful current of
sentiment in the United States is
bearing the women ON to a vic
torious enfranchisement.
1.-The South is the stronghold of
the opposition to the Federal
amendment because it does not
wish to consent to federal control
over our local suffrage for fear
that it will force the negro back
to the ballot box.
But there are several Southern
states, for example. Arkansas
and Texas, that will risk such a
result in order to enfranchise our
women Of national law, if the i'll
dlvldual states do not do so byI
local action.
Pretermitting the question of
right. and looking at it from the
standpoint of Southern policy, it |
would be better for each and ev-
cry Southern state to grant equal
and then instruct their
senator's and representatives in
Congress to stand pat against the
national amendment. It could
never pass with solid Southern
opposition against it. At the
same time our Southern women
would enjoy as great suffrage
rights as they could under an
adopted federal amendment, and
mother sovereign, therefore,
would not possess an additional
control over our electorate, and

One OF the meetings OF grea
Importance to the citizens of New
Iberia was that of the First Sew
erage Board held on Wednesda,
evening at the People s Nationa
Bank when they accepted the sys
tenn of sewerage installed at Z
cost of $90,0O0.0O by the contrac.
tors, .Messrs. Hamilton Bros. Of
Shreveport. The members of the
Board were guided in their de-
cision by the City Engineer Mr.
q. A. Kramer of Mississippi, and
while the construction was under
way gave a great deal of their
attention to the details of the
work which had been entrusted to
them by a vote of the people.
The Board having concluded this
portion Of the work necessary
for it's erection and completion,
it remains now for the City Faith
ers or those in authority to order
connections made which will no
doubt be done at some near FIJI
ture time. From what we have
been able to ascertain, bids will
likely be called for and Orange
ments made with plumbers to give
the taxpayers who have to make
connections, a number of years
within which to settle for the
work. 1t is hoped some arrange
ment of that nature will be con-
summated SO as not to work
hardship upon any one. Of course
proviso should be made. per-
hitting any property holder TO
select his own material and coll
tractor, if he so sees fit. on his
own conditions. This will enable
many who can afford to pay cash
for the work to have it done at
a lesser cost.

SCHOOL BOARD DEAD.
LOCKED.

The meeting of the Parish
School Board called by Presiden,
J. =. Verret last Tuesday to elect
q Superintendent Of Education to
replace the late Louis A. Wallet
and to transact other important
business did not materialize for
want of quorum to transact bus
mess. From what we were in
formed there were only five men,
bers Of the Board in attendance
at the time the meeting was
scheduled to be held. The re-
1maining members, with the ex-
ception Of Mr.. Moresi Of Jeane-
refte all came to the City, but
because Of Mr.. Moresi's absence
thought it unwise to elect a sup.

Ders be in attendance. Owing TO

THE ELECTION NEXT
TUESDAY.

To what extent the voters O.
the Parish will turn out next Tues
day is problemetical, for the rea
son that the nominees Of the Dem
ocratic party for the United States
Senate and House Of Representa-
tives have no opposition. This
is no reason for any apathy Or
the part of the electorate next
Tuesday because there are num-
Der of Constitutional Amendments
to be voted upon, some Of them
will be of material benefit to the
people and afford the public school
system Of Louisiana to be in -po-
sition to improve the schools and
put them on a parity with other
States in the Union where educa-
ton is appreciated by the masses.
The question Of whether the men
of Louisiana will grant the women
Of the State the right to exercise
their opinion in the same, just
manner as the male sex is to our
mind as important as any of the
issues being presented to the vot-
ers at this time. This is Amend
ment No. 5 which gives to the
mothers of this country who have
bravely furnished their sons to
the Government to fight the bat
ties for the freedom Of the world
the prerogative of casting their
ballots and otherwise exercising
the same rights as the male sex.
In this community there is a |
strong sentiment among the men
to do the magnanimous thing,
and many will be generous enough
to cast their votes accordingly. j
IN the other hand there are some
citizens who openly state that
hey will vote against the Amend
nent on the grounds that women
;hould not be in politics, etc. In
his day when all peoples of the
world are beginning to realize that
are the equal Of men and
contribute even more than their
hare IN the support of the Ma
ION, we can see no justification
n the part Of any citizen to op-
'ose giving the same rights to
he mothers of the land that the
lales enjoy. In every state
here the women have exercised
lghts Of suffrage, a changed con-
ition in the conduct of election
nd the character Of the men put
Office is noticeable. Next Tues

BABY RESCUED FROM WELL

Being Imprisoned Twelve
Hours.

Burkbennett. Tex.-After remaining
at the bottom of n 35-foot well, n foot
In diameter, the eighteen-months-o
son Of George Rays of this place was
rescued unlnjured.
The child was playing and accident
ally fell feet.first into the well. The
mother heard the cries from the well.
She obtained garden hose and an old
pair Of bellows and pumped air into
the well until the nelghbors could ar
rive.
A large crowd soon gathered and the
work of digging the child out was be-
gun. A large hole was dug along the
side OF the well, and Mt ten o'clock
that night 1t reached the baby. The
child was brought to the surface and
an examination showed that 1t had
escaped injury.
