A GROSS INJUSTICE

The Prairie Ronde Sec
ton of the first ward is the only pre-
cinct in the eleventh road district to
be unrepresented on the board of su-
pervisors. Opelousas was given two
representatives; Bellevue, Grand
Prairie and Washington one each.
The second largest precinct of the
first ward-and that section of the
ward wherein more miles of high
ways is to be constructed-has
been refused recognition at the hands
of the governing body of St. Landry.
Grand Prairie was the first to com
plain about not being represented on
the board and it's member put forth
the argument that every precinct, be-
ing their five precincts and five mem
bers of the board to be appointed,
should be represented. But as soon
as Grand Prairie was given recogni-
ton, the board was appointed and
Plaisance was graciously left Sin the
cold" despite the efforts of members
representing that section of the ward
appealing for justice.
Let's be consistent. Plaisance is
as much entitled to representation on
the board as is Bellevue or Grand
Prairie, if not more so. What is the
reason that Plaisance who asked the
appointment of Judge Adolph Gull
lory, was not given consideration?

ANNoUNc CEMENT

Opelousas, La, Nov. ~, 1919.
To the Voters of the Parish of St.
Landry:
In announcing my candidacy for
reelection to the office of Assessor,
| desire to thank the people for their
support in the past and assure them,
if reelected, that the affairs of the
office will continue to be conducted
with strict attention to duty and
courteous treatment to all.
/ have endeavored to give the peo-
pie fair, just and efficient admins
tration, and the only criticism leveled
at my office has been to the effect
that valuation on property assessed
have been increased from what it was
in former years.
It is sufficient answer to this charge
to simply call attention to the fact
that under the law, as it now exists,
and with which l had nothing to do
III II VII LAAC SOlbAa y
which l advised against-takes away
from the Assessor the right to fix
the valuations and gives that power
and authority to the State Board Of
Affairs. My critics know, or ought to
know, that l have exhausted every
honorable means in my power to pre-
vent the undue boosting of values in
st. Landry for assessment purposes.
If reelected, as my friends tell
me / will be, it is my purpose to con-
tinue my fight to have the laws
amended so as to permit the Assess
or to have more authority in the fix
ing of values on property placed on
the assessment lists by him. / will,
also, in the future as in the past, con-
tinue to assist all taxpayers whose
property is overassessed in having the
Board of State Affairs correct or re-
duce the same.
Very respectfully,
A. L. ANDRUS.

CIRCUS HAS TIME
TO LEAVE TOWN
Sells-Floto People Strike Hard
Luck Here and are Delay
ed Two Days by Rains

Sunday was circus day and thous-
ands of people from every section of
st. Landry and from neighboring par
ishes journeyed here to take in the
the show. The town was jubilant,
everybody in a happy mood, until
shortly before the main performance
was to begin, when veritable down
pour of rain struck the city and flood
ed everything in sight.
So terrible was the rain storm that
the Sells-Floto show decided to can
eel the night performance and to be-
gin packing at once to leave town.
But when the heavy circus wagons,
loaded with heavy material, struck
the dirt streets-well, they simply
stuck and it required as many as
thirty-two horses and two elephants
to pull them out. 1t required all
Sunday evening and night, Monday
and Tuesday to pull the many wag-
ons out of the mud, so it was late
Tuesday night when the show people
boarded their train for Pine Bluff,
Arkansas, having cancelled the en-
gagements at Alexandria and Mon
roe. This is the first time in the his
tory of Opelousas that a circus was
stranded here for three days.
It was an interesting sight to wit
ness the beautiful horses, thirty-two
of them at one time, pulling the wag-
ons out of the mud axle deep, and
quite a crowd of spectators was on
hand throughout the day to see the
novel sight.

turn of fortunes wheel, ready to
rend each other to shreds because
their ideals of existence and fair
ness are as Numerically opposite
as the poles. Seemingly there is no
safe middle ground on which they
can get though it is certainly plain
that one can not exist without the
other, for capital without labor
would lose its power and its value.
Labor, on the other hand, without
capital would be in dire straits in
deed and the vast hordes who fol-
low that line Of. human endeavor
would quickly gravitate back to
antedeluvian practices in order to
gain a livelihood. Wealth would
quickly crumble and a state of semi
savagery ensue. What, then, is the
answer to this problem that threat
ems to shake if not wreck the very
foundations of society and civiliza-
ton itself? Can any wise seer, look
ing into the future further than
human eye ever looked before, peer
beyond the enveloping veil and tell
waiting and breathless world what
the solution will be?
And in the meantime, while the
two minority classes are snarling at
each others threats like starving
wolves, the balance of the world
the majority we might remark in
passing-is silently but patiently
and eagerly awaiting a decision
which will bring relief to mankind.
Until this much to be desired re-
suit is achieved, the innocent maj
ority must continue to suffer while
ground to atoms between the upper
and neither millstones of American
autocracy. "How long, oh Cataline,
will thou continue to abuse our pa
tience?"

ceipt Of their last Saturdays issue
Immediately wrote the office compli-
menting the Star-Progress on its
splendid paper. Here are a few ex-
pressions:
DR.. C. A. Gardiner of Sunset says:
cts corker. You certainly deserve
great credit"
Gilbert L. Dupre, well known ST..
Landry representative, says: 81 sell
dom say anything nice about anybody
but will surprise you by saying your
last Saturdays paper is the best ever
published in Opelousas. You deserve
great credit"
Mr.. F. R. Swigart, assistant mana
ger of the New Orleans agency of the
Nsrgenthaler Linotype Company,
wrote as follows: "This morning /
received a copy of the Star-Progress
Of November s. This is without doubt
wonderful achievement, and the
cut work is particularly good"
,Leonce NJ. Soniat of White Castle,
La, who has investments in this par
ish, writes: Your paper is great. l
enjoy reading every line. It's get
ting better every week"
R. d. Niebert of Bunkie, head of
the Louisiana commercial secre-
taries, writes: "Have just finished
looking over your November edi-
ton and we would call it a splendid
piece of work"
It's useless for US to enumerate
the many compliments we received
from the people of Opelousas. The
fact that the Star-Progress now has
five hundred bona fide subscribers
in this city is sufficient proof that
the Star-Progress must be recognized
as the leading home paper and that
the effort of the publishers to give
Opelousas a genuine newspaper is
meeting with the general approval of
the entire public. Scores of men and
women, who came into the Star
Progress office during the past week
spoke very highly of the great work
accomplished by the Star-Progress
force last week, when one hundred
and seventy-six columns of advertis-
ing and approximately sixty columns
of reading matter, contained in thir-
ty-four pages of paper, were set up
during one week on one linotype and
without the assistance of additional
help.
We can state that this is not the
last of Star-Progress achievements
in the local newspaper field, for we
propose to publish just such editions
in the future from time to time, and
the size of the editions will be based
of course on the volume of advertis-
ing. This is an era of newspaper ad-
vertising, however, and the volume
was never so big before in all the long
history of the printing industry.

ST. LANDRY VOTERS INDIE
PENDENT

The day of ward bosses, as far as
st. Landry is concerned, is passed.
There is no longer any dictation as
to how certain voters should cast
their ballots. The Independent young
men of this parish, assisted by their
independent fathers and brothers,
have brought about change for the
better and from henceforth st. Lam
dry's vote will be a free and indie
pendent expression of it's fearless
men.
A few years back a candidate
might have been assured of an easy
victory when supported by the poll
ticians and purported ward bosses of
st. Landry. Things have changed,
however, as st. Landry is no longer
in that class, its voters are thinking
for themselves and are going to act
for themselves. BY education and ex-
perience, they have been taught to
pick out their own candidates. Hence
it is that st. Landry is going to be
found in the column of untrammelIed
voters.
The politicians-especially the
present type of politicians-have
played their last trump. They no
longer can whip the rank and file of
st. Landry's voters into line. Our
prediction will be verified by the
votes on January 20, when it is found
that many of the candidates opposed
by st. Landry's political clique
have been elected by the free, I'M
bought and unbelievable voters of
the imperial parish"

BETWEEN THE UPPER AND
NEITHER MILL STONES

''Man's inhumanity to man." said
Cowper, "has made countless thous-
an6s mourn"
We do not know whether the old
English poet was judging mankind
by actions of the past, or whether
he was looking into the future with
prophetic eye. and foretelling condi-
tions Of the present day. However,
in the language of the streets, he
spoke a mouthful," for "man's in
humanity to man" is being practiced
today just as strongly, if in far
different way, as it was a few gen.
erations ago.
Here in free America untold re-
sources have allowed a few far
sighted individuals to build huge for
tunes and using these immense for
tunes in an inhuman way, they have
managed to erect around themselves
a veritable Chinese wall of self-pro-
lection and immunity from the laws
demands. With the whole world, and
especially their cOuntrymen, as their
prey, they have waxed fatter with
the process of time. Not spending
but accommodating, they have fol-
lowed their unopposed way toward
a goal whereby they will command
the world just as strongly as crown
ed heads Of autocratic governments
rule their own people.
But while this class of autocrats
was in the building, another and far
more dangerous class has also been
in the formation-the neither mill
stone of autocracy in free Amer
ica--the autocracy of labor. I'm
bridled, this new species of bolshe-
vism rears its unsightly head and
threatens death and dire destruction
to any and all who oppose its I'M
heard of demands. Unfettered by
great fortunes, they have at their
beck and call hordes of illititerate
foreigners and considerable numbers
Of natives who are ready at a mo-
ment's notice to raise the red flag
Of revolt and precipitate a catac-
lysm that might wreck the govern
ment.
