10 Tie Editor OF The Star:
In order TO relieve the traffic in the
streets of Washington would like to
suggest that the Commissioners estab-
lish the right hand right of, way in
stead of the north and south right of
way at intersections. Everybody to
the right of you has the right of way
over you. You watch your right only.
This will cut down speeding and acct
dents, ROBERT NJ. COLLINS.

OLD FASHION HALLOWEEN
PARTY.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Gollehon, on halloween night, was
the scene OF real old fashioned
party. Looked upon from every
possible point of view, it was most
successful affair-pretty girls, pretty
dresses, lots of amusements, every
body 30 glad to see everybody else,
everybody imbued with the spirit Of
the night-it was a wonderful party
and everybody had wonderful time.
Tho dancing was resplendent with
wierd effects. Witches, bobgoblins.
all were there. Apples were duck
ed and so were heads, but who gave
a cared? Was not the midnight
supper enough to make all forget the
care Of the world?
Every nook and corner of the
house had something pertaining to
the witchery Of the night.
Those attending the enjoyable af-
fair were Misses NJ. Gollehon, Norma
and Thelma Policar, Vivian Badeaux,
Carmelite Young, Inez Pelloat, AL

ASSOCIATIONOF
COMMERCE
MEETING
Recreation in Hospitals.

At a very interesting session OF
the Association of Commerce, Mon
day evening, the following six meas
ures were decided upon:
l. Request the candidates for
governor to come out clearly and
fully on what they favor regarding
the organization of State Highway
Department and road building pro-
gram. The object is to cause this
question to be an inssue just as the
Greater Agricultural College is an
issue, both candidates having adopt
ed the latter plank in their platform.
2. Request the State Highway
Engineer to assign to us a portion of
the army trucks and other road
building machinery. The govern
ment is turning loose lot of this
and the other states and parishes
in our state have been getting them,
but St. Tammany has not received
any despite the fact that the State
Highway Engineer promised our par
ish highway engineer some of this
equipment two months ago.
8. Request the U. S. District El-
gineer to dredge the shallow places
in the Bogue Falaya river so that it
may be navigable. Our river is on
the adopted schedule for dredging
but has been neglected, not having
been dredged for four years. Whan
the water is high enougs about four
hundred tons of cargo go in and out
this river per week.
4. Request the Illinois Central
Railawy for better schedule, so the
local will be here longer and the
passenger train depart at instead
of $3.50 a. m. This would afford
better communication north and
south on the l. C. main line.
5. Plans were completed for the
Association to operate the sweet po-
tato storage house in Covington this
fall. Phe Association has ordered
crates and will buy the sweet pota-
toes from the farmers at market
prices, or better, or give them stor-
age facilities at zoe per bushel. the
house is being remodeled to make it
safe and will be steam heated. All
farmers with potatoes for sale will
do well to drop in the Associations
Office and get information.
6. 1t was decided to hold a mid
month daylight meeting, as some
who want to attend can't very well
do so at night. Something special
is planned for this meeting.

THE PARKER DINNER.

The circumstances surrounding
the dinner to be given Mr.. John NJ.
Parker on Monday evening neces-
sarily dfvests the occasion of any
political or factional flavor.
There is no reason, however, why
Mr.. Parker should not make it the
occasion for an announcement of his
subsequent return to the Democrats
party. The causes which led him to
leave it no longer exist.
II Mr.. Parker, therefore, has any
wish to continue to be active in poll
tics in Louisiana membership in the
Democratic alone offers him field.
1t is idle for him to say that he can
not achieve success within its ranks
and absured to urge that it Is co l.
trolled by machines whose power is
invincible. In 1912 he led fa"-
tion of it to victory in opposition TO
what were then said to be the strong
est State and city organization in the
modern history Of the party, and II
he was very badly beaten for Gov
ernor himself last April it was prob
ably because he fought outside the
Democratic party and thousands of
Democrats opposed him because they
believed his victory would break
down the civilization which the DEM
ocratic party restored and has pre-
served to Louisiana for over forty
years.
President Wilson undoubtedly was
reelected through the aid of hun
dreds OF thousands who followed Mr.
Roosevelt four years ago under the
Progressive banners. If the Demo-
cratic party Is to retain It's suprem-
acy it must hold the support of many
of these votes, and we still believe
that one of the means of doing SO
would be a graceful recognition Of
their service in the appointment OF
one of their number to a Cabinst
office. ss
But IL Mr.. Parker prefers to re.

AGREE
TO CLOSE AT
6 O'CLOCK

The grocery merchants Of Coving-
ton have agreed to close up here
after at p. m. The. action is prac-
tically unanimous, The hours OF
the grocery clerk are long and very
tedious, and now that winter is con-
ing on and the days are short, there
is little doing after O'Clock and the
housewife will not be incommoded
while the change will be great re-
lief to the merchant and the clerk.

Secretary.
On motion of C. E. Schonberg
seconded by A r. Smith, and carried
was referred to the Finance Com
mittee.
DR.. w. L. Stevenson addressed
the council at length on general
health conditions of the town and
submitted the following ordinance
Tor adoption by the council:
AN ORDINANCE.
Sanitary ordinance relative to waste
disposal.
Section l. 1t is hereby declared
to be unlawful for any person or
persons with the corporate limits OF
the town of Covington 20 allow the
accumulation within any building, or
upon any premises or ether places
owned, occupied, leased by him or
them, or under his or their contract,
of any of the following: Garbage,
combustible material, waste paper,
boxes, barrels, shavings, tin cans,
bottles or other nOn-combuStible re-
fuse, except as provided in Sections
and 5.
Section 2. Garbage not promptly
consumed on the premises as STOCK
or poultry feed, and manure not reg
ularly turned under the soil as fe--
tilizer, must be stored in fly-proof
cans or bins or other receptacles.
and made available for the garbage
wagon, preferably every second day,
or as officially designated, but at no.
longer intervals than seven days.
since the prime sanitary feature or
this ordinance is to interrupt the life
cycle of the typhoid fly, the malaria
mosquito, the plague infested rat and
other disease breeding Insects and
germs, which life-cycle begin in rub
hish and decomposing matter, and in
cans and vessels containing water.
Garbage is here defined to mean
animal and vegetable matter, kitchen
waste, and decomposable refuse OF
any kind.
Section 3. Mineral waste and
Slow decomposing waste, shall De
stored in boxes or barrels, or othe"
receptacles, and regularly, at not
greater intervals than seven days,
exposed upon the sidewalk or other
PAoSCo dCC6SShDlG W lllC
wagons. If it is desired to keep
lumber, wood, bricks or any waste
OF value in or upon any premises
such matter must be stored in mna-
ner least dangerous from a sanitary
standpoint, and, if it remains
health menace, through rats, mos
qultos or other mediums of infec-
ton, it must be stored upon a plat
form at least two feet above the
ground, or removed or destroyed at
the discretion of the health officer.
Building material is exempt from
this regulation, unless, in the opin-
ION of the health officer it becomes
sanitary menace, when it must be
elevated as herein provided.
Mineral waste is defined as min
eral matter, as cans, bottles and
bricks; slow decaying waste com
prises solid vegetable matter, as
paper and wood.
Section A. Tree trimmings, plants
and combustible garbage may oe
burned on the premises, il such acts
are not menace to health or prop
erty, and the ashes disposed OF in
the manner provided in Section 3

ed away at the expense Of the oc-

back to it's membership
again.
We printed on Oct. 20 a
powerful editorial tribute
from the same newspaper
to Mr.. Parker's high per-
sonal qualities and pro-
gressive politics. In that
editorial, The States very
sensibly declared that "No
effort should be spared per-
manently to attach these
former progressive voters
to the Democratic Party"
This is quite plain. For
if only a few of those for
mer progressives fail to
vote for a Democrat next
year, other things remain
ing the same, the REPUB-
LICANS will control the
WHOLE national ADMIN.
ISTRATION as they now
control Congress,
. If some of the citizens
who voted Republican tick
cts in the congressional
elections don't change to
the Democratic ticket next
time, goodbye Democratic
Party. No Democrat who
really wants his party to
progress, and grow, and be
safe, ever loses a chance to
welcome into it's fold any
honest citizen who has
been in some other camp.
And every honest citizen
ought to change political
camps every time the one
in which he finds himself
ceases to reflect his per-
sonal views on public mat
ters. That's all parties are
mere instruments to per-
nit citizens to express their
choices effectively.
choices effectively.
