On Wednesday afternoon the
Guild and Auxiliary Of Epiphany
church met at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. Labbit. It is one Of the
old time commodious plantation
houses, built when trained SER
wants were the rule, and not as
now, the exception. Some of us
can remember when Madam
Thompson was the hostess at the
wedding of hen nd-daughter
Miss Ada Duncan to a Mr.. Ber-
wick. There was plenty of room
in the spacious mansion for the
large number Of relations and
friends who were there to offer
their congratulations. That was
over fifty years ago. Since then
rem"de]ing and improving have
changed the place very much, al
ways for the better, until now, it
is one of the most beautifully ar
tistic homes anywhere in this Vi
cinity. The gracious hostess. a.
sisted by her neighbor (who is
secretary of the organization)
Mrs. Quesenberry, received the
guests, although the "north wind
did blow" the reception was de-
lightfully warm. bright fires
burning in the ample CRATES. The
various committees on old and
new business, finished their work
quickly, for all were anxious to
hear the report from the great
convention at Detroit. Our hos
tess was delegate there from the
New Orleans branch. She was
especially suited to select the most
valuable work and the best express
sions of thought, and carry them
home to tell it to those most
anxious to hear. Bishop Brants
wonderful address, she said was
worth the journey. Among other
things he said: "The great war
with all its pain, sorrow and sac
riice had not brought universal
peace. Turmoil and restlessness
were everywhere. The people
must be brought under the do
minion of the "Prince of Peace, :"
for when he spoke even the wind
and the waves obeyed him. If one
could only tell with her rare
descriptive powers the many
beautiful things that were said
and done, we would no doubt be
much the better for it. The gist
of it all was that the life should
tell the story. We cannot all
find the man who went from Je-
rusalem to Jerico. and fell among
thieves and thus become truly a
good samaritan. 1t is not neces-
sary to cross this little world to
let our light shine. Our neigh
Dor or our own household is n
good place for service. All to-
gether this meeting was a perfect
delight, full of valuable informa-
ton and inspiration. NJ. L. P.

they may grow to useful citizens

We should vote for the School

). Because communities like
men seldom remain stationary,
they either move forward or back
ward, and the one power which
will move our community forward
faster than any other agency is
good schools.
We should vote for the School
Tax on Tuesday, Nov.18th.
6. Because there can hardly be
any doubt that the struggle for
lie will become more and more
acute, and that education, hot
only of a part of the children but
Of I'll the children of our COM
munity, will be our surest safe
guard.
We should vote for the School
Tax on Tuesday Nov. 18th.
Z. Because these little children
as Americans have a right to de-
mand of this community that it
provide for them adequate school
facilities which will permit them
to take our places in the commun-
itv adequately prepared to face
the problems which are sure to
confront them.
We should vote for the School
Tax on Tuesday. Nov. 18th.
s. Because this community
has poorer school facilities than
any city of its size or nearly its
size from Lake Charles to New
Orleans. and the voting of this
tax will permit the erection and
equipment of schools which will
equal those Of our neighbors.
We should vote for the School
Tax on Tuesday. Nov. 18th.
Q. Because the schools touch
directly the best interests Of every
man, woman, and child in this
community, and therefore have a
right to expect the support and
cooperation Of us all.
We should vote for the School
Tax on Tuesday. Nov. 18th.
10. Because, last but not least,
it is a debt which we as citizens
of this community legally and
morally owe to children of the
community. and like every other
debt which is due by us we should
pay it.
It is my sincere hope that on
the night of November 18th. we
can wire to the world. "New 1be-
ria has gone Over the Top by
unanimously voting the school tax
which will place it at the head OF
the Honor Roll in our State.

WE SHOULD VOTE FOR THE
SCHOOL. TAX. ON TUES
DAY, NOV. 18th.

1. Because the present facili-''
ties of Madison Street School,
Julia Street School and the Gen.
trail High School are totally in,
adequate and unsatisfactory to-
meet present requirements from
a standpoint of health, sanitation,
and education, the building at
Madison Street being so old that
the Oldest inhabitant of this town
hardly remembers when that
school came into existence, the
one at Julia Street being So
crowded in some rooms that it is
necessary to send children from
necr that school to others far
more distant from the homes OF
these children, and the high
scnool building being so crowded
that it is necessary to teach three
classes in the basement which at
fords slightly more than one hun
dred cubic feet Of air space as
against a requirement Of two hum
dred and sixteen cubic feet per
child.
We should vote for the School
Tax on Tuesday, Nov. 18th.
2. Because the enrolment is
growing faster than we can take
care of it with facilities at hand,
and it is reasonable to suppose
that this town will grow with thu
improvements which are being
carried on, and that desirable
families cannot be induced to
make their homes with us unless
we can offer them at least equal
educational opportunities as are
o@ered them by other communi.
ties Of our size; for the education
Of ones children is probably one
Of the most important duties of q
father or q mother.
We should vote for the School
Tax on Tuesday, Nov. 18th.
3. Because the tax asked for
is but a continuation Of the two
mill tax which has been formerly
voted bv the taxpayers Of this
School District, and which ex-
PRED with the collection of last
year.
= We should vote for the School
Tax on Tuesday. Nov. 18th.
4. Because at neither one OF
these schools there is sufficient
ground for the proper physical de-
velopment Of the children Of our
community. which matter we are

POVERTY RESULT OF
PIRACY.

as we find in the big cities today,
is nothing more nor less than i
result of piracy on a grand scale!
The pirates whom we chased Off
the seas $50 years ago, were pig
mics in crime, compared to the
land pirates of today. In the
morning of the world we made
the michievous mistake Of class
ing land as a commodity to be
bought and sold as we once did
human beings. Thus far we've
been unable to eradicate this fatal
error. Fatal, because it has des-
troyed all the great civilizations
of the past, and is now menacing
our own.
Long before the time of Christ,
in every age and cline, since peo-
pie began congregating together
in towns and cities, just and
studious minded men: have rec
ognized this evil, this fundamental
error, and tried to right it. bat
most of them including the Gre It
Nazarene, have been put to death
bv the land holders as "pestilert
fellows. Those who came to
save in those earlier days were
classed as those "bent on destruc-
tion,' just as they are today oy
the old order which holds with
tenacious grip to the past. They
want war abolished but they want
it abolished by the sword, by the !
might that makes right.
Chattel slavery was abolished
with infinitely more ease than will
be the wage slavery Of today. be-
cause the wise ones bent on money
thousands of years
ago, learned that cornering land
was a much more effective and
economic way of eating their
bread in the sweat Of other men
faces. Millions Of good men have
done this evil thing innocently
and ignorantly, and are yet doing
it. others have known what they
were doing, but lacked the courage
to protest.
Hundreds of times in their writ
ings, Henry George, Father Nultv,
James Russell Lowell, Ed Twin
Markham, the great Tolstoy of
Russia, and great army no man
can number who live ON the
heights and saw from afar the
storm that has overtaken us,
warned us, but the great mad,
money loving world rushed on its
way oblivious of every thing but
the object of it's quest! 1t trusted
to the sword, instead of doing the
right thing and putting its trust
in God. This is the hell we have
long heard of "paved with good
intentions. Even now we find
many well intentioned people who
believe in big ornaments on land
and sea to preserve the peace!
God save the mark! Is human
folly to repeat itself along more
atrocious lines yet? Poverty has
always been a result of war and
war preparations! As long as
men speculate in land. we must
continue war preparations, which
are equally as destructive of hui
man happiness as war ltset:
Every abstract, or title to land
land the writer knows what she
is talking about since she has as
sisted in making out thousands OF
them can be traced back to and
rests on the sword.
Are we ever to remain gods
who are afraid? Can we not put
our trust in Him who said, eff we
would but do justice, love mercy
and walk humbly with our God,
we need take no more thought for
the morrow than do the lilies OF
the field!
