OUR POLITICAL POLICY

The editor of the Star-PTogress has
repeatedly been asked what part
will your paper play in parish poll
tics?"
It is natural to suppose that this
paper will do its duty in politics as
it does on all public questions. We are
going to take part as citizens, but we
will give all candidates, whether our
favorites or not equal chance at our
news columns. We invite al of them
to give all news, because we realize
that it is our duty to give our readers
all legitimate news-from all sides,
because we are broad minded enough
to know that there are some of our
readers who will not vote and support
the men, whom we may select.
In justice to our subscribers and
patrons, and from a broad minded
point of view we have decided ito
cover" every political gathering in the
parish and to write up the meetings,
speeches, etc, exactly as, they will
take place, reserving the right to ex-
press our own opinion in our editor
ial columns.
Our friends may be sure that we
viii not tolerate "mud-slinging. We
viii take part in the inevitable con-
fict, and probably the editor of this
paper will be found in the thickest
of the fray, since Creole pony is
by nature QUICKER" but as far as
our news columns are concerned we
will give every candidate an oppor-
tunity to state his side of the case
and cheerfully invite them to take ad-
vantage of our offer.

The Chamber of Commerce has
worked out a plan to give this parish
the most elaborate fair in this state.
Nothing will be left undone, if funds
can be sured-and they must be Sc
cured-to make the 1920 St. Landry
parish fair ''the talk of Louisiana.
If operated on the plans mapped out
by the Chamber Of Commerce the
1920 fair will give this parish the
greatest amount of beneficial publicl-
ty it has ever earned.
Knowing the police jurors as we do
and fully approaching that they are
going to do their duty we firmly be-
lieve that the committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce will be successful in
its mission on Monday.

.FORDS STILL GO
IN MUDDY ROADS
No Joking About Flivver's Alb
ility To Go Threw Mud
When Others Fail

VIII Gahagan, the famous sport
writer, who is also the walking ency-
clopedia" of information on titled
horses and their dongs for the last
Randall to Cleveland in a-but
couple centuries, recently rode from
here's his story as appeared in "The
Horseman" for August:
ain company with Ken Scott, turf
writer on the Plain Dealer and a
couple scribes, l made the trip to the
city in 'Scotty's' machine. Said mach
inc is manufactured in eDtroit by a
gentleman by the name of Ford. Now,
they make all sorts of fun of that
Ford machine, but after that trip
from Randall to Cleveland the other
day, I am convinced that the Ford
cars are not only fast but that they
have staying qualities as well. They
have been used in getting the soldiers
across the ocean"
In the low spots where the water
stopped many of the high priced
boats, the little Ford didn't even
Hesitate. One of the most amusing
sights of the trip believe that it
was the only one-was watching
a gentleman astride the hood of big
machine which was standing in about
two feet of water He was attempting
to crank the machine and yet keep
out of the water Now that was a hard
job. Every time he gave the crank a
twist, his arm went into the water,
right up to the elbow. The good man
was reciting the Lords Prayer as we
passed. At least we surmised that he
was, from a few words that he ut
tered as our good little craft pulled
for the shore"
Like "Pop" Gears who added a
Ford Runabout to his string Of
thoroughbreds, Mr. Gahagan has dis
covered that as mud horse" he
couldn't get away from the Ford.

call on next Monday for a meeting of

the primary will also be attended to,
but as the state central committee is
usually watched to for the arrange

not much interest is manifested in
that action of the committee. The fact
that there are so many candidates in

ANDRUS HOLDS MEET
INPRAIRIE BASSE
LAST SUNDAY
Friends of St. Landry Assessor
Grati6es at Result of Big
Gathering in Country

The second political meeting of the
parochial campaign took place in the
Praire Basse section Of the Grand
Coteau poll on Sunday afternoon. A.
L. Andrus, candidate for reelection
as assessor of this parish was the only
politician to address the big gather
ing-for it was an Andrus meeting,
the second of the campaign.
According to reports from the Sec
ond Ward are to the effect that it was
the largest meeting ever held in that
section; not even in the days of the
bitter gubernatorial campaigns were
there such gatherings of voters, as
it is said practically every voter of
that section was present.
Mr.. Andrus gave a forceful explain
alton of his duties as assessor for the
past three years, dwelling at length
upon the difference between the as
ssessor of to-day and the one of four
years ago, stating that the police jury
and the State Board of Affairs has
practically wiped out the work of as
sessing and fixing valuations upon
property was done before the ere
alton of the State Board of Affairs.
After completing his address, it is
said, Mr.. Andrus was highly praised
by a number of voters, who had been
opposed to his candidacy, and was
told that they had been convinced be-
yond doubt that he had performed
his duties faithfully during his term
as assessor.

at this meeting whether or not they

THE PARISH FAIR

On next Monday a delegation Of
public sirited citizens, representing
the Opelousas Chamber of Commerce
win appear before the police jury to
urge the appropriation of twenty-five
hundred dollars to the proposed par
ish fair association.
The police jury is the keeper of
the public money; the parish fair is
proposed for the benefit of the public
generally. In our mind it is the duty
Of the police jury to grant the re-
quest of the committee, if it is poss-
IDLE to budget the required amount.
Most Of the police jurors are far
PRS; in truth there are only two who
not. Some of these are success
dl farmers and know the value of
parish fairs to progressive and mod
ern day farming. They have doubt
less attended many fairs, where they
saw for themselves the great amount
Of good to be derived from them. !.
st. Landry is primarily an agri-
cultural parish; we boast that within
the confines Of ourr great and pros
porous parish viii be found ten per
cent of the erich lands" of Louisiana :
we can truthfully say that st. Landry
has the finest and most productive
soil in the United States. Money is
no question here; the farmers are
nearly all prosperous; ST. Landry is
yearly producing some of the finest
agricultural products Of America,
but no one knows this, except the far
mer who produces and his neighbors.
