Industry Recovering
And Advancing

Sudden termination OF the great
war caused American industry to halt
and hesitate-but for short time on
ly.
Our vast enterprises had just been
effectively put on war basis and the
quick change to peace basis was like
a plunge from hot into cold water.
The industries of Lafourche, of
course-be the factory or staple pro-
duction of foodstuffs or their distri-
bution-could not help being some
what efferted; but the fork in the
road has been passed and the path to
future prosperity lies straight ahead
Lafourche is going to prosper as
never before 1t is in the air. Re-
construction means work for every
body.
All authorities agree that when the
army is demobiized and all our men
have been returned to productive en-
ployments, there will be at least five
years of as intensified and energetic
prosperity, with all classes sharing
therein, as the country ever dreamed
of.
. The Gazette believes this is true
Let, us all prepare for the coming
avalanche of good times. Let there
be no unrest among our orkmen-
merely patience. The plums are just
ahead.

ton. Everybody is in the market fol-

The Suffrage Prison Spe.
cial Comes to Louisiana

With the arrival in this State with
in a week of the suffrage Prison
Special of the National Woman's
Party, one of the most significant
suffrage events in some years breaks
in the heart of the South. Whether
the South likes the idea or not, these
women represent the rebellion in the
present demand of women for the
vote. These are the women who
have refused to be put off any longer,
who have made the political demand,
and been willing to go to prison, le-
gally or illegally, for what they be-
lieve in.
The Suffrage Special makes COM
plete circle of the country, visiting
the largest cities. 1t touches the Ca
nodian line and the Gulf of Mexico,
the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts.
The Southern Cities including the
itinerary are the strategic points of
the South. They are Jacksonville,
Florida; Knoxville, Tennessee; New
Orleans, and San Antonio, Texas.
There are twenty suffrage prison
ers on the train, omitting the COM
plement of stenographers who pre-
pare press material and have charge
of literature. These women are from
ten States in the Union, and repre-
sent the South, the Northwest, the
west and the east. Four are from
the South and six are from New
York City or State. All have served
terms in prison varying from three
days to seven months.
The total number of days served
by the whole prison train is 1884 days
in the workhouse and district Jail at
Washington, D. c. Miss Lucy Burns,
of New York, has been given the
longest sentences-six terms, aggre-
eating 261 days. Miss Burns is the
manager of the Specials tour" and is
an Irich American girl, educated at
Vassar and at Glasgow University
abroad.
From Prison to People" is the
slogan of the Special. Another slo-
gan is: "When 200 American Women
Iare willing to go to Prison, there's a
reason" The Prison Special is tell
ing that reason: They are pointing
out that the present SO called Dem
ocratic Administration has for six
years blocked the enfranchisement o1
women, though women in all parts o1
the world have been enfranchised
during the war. They are pointing
out not only Administrator respon.
sibility for suffrage but for the hu.
initiating and illegal arrests and i'm
lprisonments of hundreds of American
women for protesting for their liber
ty. They are demanding action nov
before the adjournment OF the pres
ent Congress.

PERSH|NG PARADE TODAY
FITTING END To THE WAR.

1t was a holiday for the metropolis.
Every window and every roof along
the avenue was packed with specta-
tors.
u Crowd of the ballant young veterans
who marched behind him, General
Pershing rode slowly down the ave-
nue. before hero worshiping millions.
The brave bronze, veterans were
worthy of all the pride their chief
could feel. Their regimental flag had
never known defeat and under them
five thousand men had died In France.
AS the parade reached the Metro
polftan Museum of Art 1t was unex-
pectedly halted and General PERISH
ing crossed to the reviewing stand
where Cardinal Mercier sat with Arch
Bishop Hayes and number of other
church dignitaries. The cheering was
deafening as the famous soldier,
clasped hands with the heroic Bel
gium prelate. Cardinal Mercier had
been given a tremendous reception on
his first arrival the reviewing stand
but the cheering arose as he stood to
greet the general made his previous
welcom seem feeble.
The cardinal was accompanied to
the reviewing stand by Brand Whit
lock, American minister to Belgium,
and Mrs. Whitlock After the parade
had passed the Belgium prelate was
escorted to the Pennsylvania station
where he boarded train for Balti-
more.
