 ''The longest way round is the short est way home" On a recent Sunday 'Little' Joe Elowitz absorbed" the meaning of this ancient paradox Here are the facts As a means of crossing the upper part of the pond
 in the rear of the w. w. Co.'S plant there is small boat, to both ends of
 which is attached rope which passes
 through pulleys on either bank of the
 stream. Parallell with the rope a
 wire cable is strung across the
 stream. By using this cable a person
 can sit in the toat and pull himself
 across the water. The rope and pull
 ley arrangement is used so that the
 oat can be drawn to the side which
 the vOyager desires By means of this
 simple arrangement person living
 near Grant avenue can cross to the mill or to Furnace avenue and cut off rounda1 out journey ty way of the post office. On a certain Sunday
 afternoon Joseph Elowitz, Donald Chapman and Richard Valentine took this means of reaching the garage, in the rear of the mill, wherein the Val entine car is kept. They were dress ed as befits well dressed men, es-
 pecially on Sunday. One of the fea- lures of their appearance was a shin
 ing straw hat worn by Mr. Elowitz
 Valentine and Chapman crossed the
 stream without mishap but not so
 with the other member of the party
 He was making poor headway when
 he reached the middle of the stream,
 so MT. Valentine told him to hold
 tight and started to haul him in. But
 the rope and the cable became tan
 gled. In trying to separate them MT.
 ElOwitz lost his balance and stepped
 gracefully" over the side of the boat,
 into the stream. Mr. Elowitz could
 not swim stroke. He clung tena-
 ciously to the little boat and was
 lowed in. His straw hat alone was
 unwet. Of late it has been noticed
 that MT. Elowitz always passes the
 post office to reach Furnace avenue

Railroad Official Here.

Frank Jansens, the progressive and
wide-awake assistant general passen'
ger and tdcket agent of the Texas
and Pacific Railway Company, with
headquarters in New Orleans, spent
Wednesday in town on business con"
nected with his road, and while here
favored the Chief with call. He
reports that many improvements are
under way and others contemplated,
which when completed will make the
Texas and Pacific passenger service
up-to date in every particular. The
company's aim is to give the travel
ing public every comfort possible.
The publisher Of the Chief suggested
to Mr.. Jansens that a one-fare
round-trip rate to New Orleans
would be greatly appreciated by the
people residing along the line, but he
stated that owing to lack of cars, as
much as he would like to do so, it
would be impossible to inaugurate
such a service at this time; he said,
however, that possibly later on a
special reduced rate to the Crescent
City might be given occasionally.

"Eyervwoman.'

This extraordinary production will
be the offering at the Grand Theatre
next Tuesday. The press in the cities
where this picture has been SHOWN
speaks very highly Of its excellence.
It will prove genuine treat to the
patrons Of the local playhouse, An
other photoplay of exceptional merit
scheduled to appear at the Grand in
the early future is ''The Confession. y
In speaking Of the picture, Bishop
Laval of New Orleans had the follow
ing to say: "The picture is thorough
ly Catholic; I mean to say by that
that the central idea involved truly
represents the obligation upon all
priests to keep inviolate the faith i'm
posed in the confessional. A peni-
tent confesses to the priest as Gods
representative; the lips Of the priest,
as the medium of reconciliation, are
sealed. For him to repeat what trans
pires in the confessional would be
violation of trust more sacred than
any possible temporal cause that
could be served, even though it in
volved the life of brother as in the
story in question. The principal as
serted is true to Catholic precept and
practice

TO AVOID SECOND PRIMARIES.

Under recent act of the legHla-
ture, amending the primary election
laws of the state, second primaries
for the nomination of candidates for
office are done away with. The law
as amended provides that, ''in all
cases where there is to be nominated
only one candidate for a particular
office, the elector shall indicate his
first choice, and without being requir-
ed to do so, may indicate a second
choice, and ballots shall al! be printed
a majority of the votes of the first
choice, he shall receive the nomina-
ton. In case no candidate shall re-
ceive majority of the first choice
votes, then the nomination for such
Office shall lay between the two cam
didates receiving the highest number
on first choice votes and the deter
mination as between said two highest
candidates receiving first choice votes
shall be by adding to their first votes
the second. 3oice votes they respect
ively received, and the candidate as
between these two, who received the
greatest number of first and second
choice votes shall be nominated"
Under an Interpretation of the at
torney generals office, the new law
will apply and govern the primary
elections to be held on September IA.
As the law is new and untried, it
is impossible to say whether it will
work out as satisfactorily as its au-
thor predict.

WORKMAN FOR RAILROAD
COMMISSIONER.

Former Judge Chas. T. Wortham
Of Napoleonville, is candidate for
railroad commissioner from the sec
ond district, subject to the action OF
the Democratic voters at the primary
election to be held in September. The
office of railroad commissioner IS Ju-
dicial in character and can best be
filled by man with judicial training
and endowed with Judicial tempera-
ment. Judge Workman is a lawyer of
ability and experience, with four
years service as judge Of the twenty
seventh judicial district court to his
credit and is in every way qualified
TO fill the position to which he as
pires. The district is very large
one, comprising twenty-nine parishes
and extending almost completely
across south Louisiana, and it will be
physically impossible for the judge,
in making his campaign, to call upon
or even write to every voter before
the election, and he must therefore
rely, in a large measure, upon his
many friends for such assistance as
they may be able to render him in
placing his claims properly before
the people,
The judge is we'll known in the
parishes embraced iii the district,
which border on the Mississippi river,
and III these he will no doubt poll a
big vote Elm Ascension, Assumption
and St. James, comprising the twen-
ty-seventh judicial district over which
he presided for term Of four years,
he is known and esteemed by every
body and will receive practically the
solid vote of the electorate Of the
three parishes. He has many strong
friends and supporters in Lafourche
and Terrebonne, and the other par
ishes of the third congressional dis
trict, and before the compaign is
much advanced he can be depended
upon to make considerable progress
in the counties further west and to
the north.
Knowing that Judge Workman is
fully qualified by ability and training
and temperament for the Office tc
which he aspires, and believing that
he is in every sense worthy of the
confidence Of the people, and with q
view of assisting in bringing his
claims to the attention of the voters
Of the district, the Chief takes pleas.

qualified support in his candidacy for

DELAY in Publishing Report.

AS will be seen by reference to the
official proceedings of the meeting OF
the commission council held last
Tuesday, which appears elsewhere IN
this issue of the Chief, the secretary
Of that body took occasion to call lts
attention to the fact that although
he had turned over to this paper Tor
publication, as far back as last Feb
ruary, a report of the financial CON
dition of the town for the year 1919,
the said report had not yet appeared
in the columns thereof. In explana-
ton of the delay complained Of, the
Chief desires to say: That its inter-
pretatioa of the agreement for the
publicatb bn of the official proceedings
of the council is, that it is required
to publish only the minutes OF the
meetings of that body and such no
tices of an official character, as the
council is called upon to give from
time to time, and does not include
the publication of voluminous tab
ulated reports such as the one refer
red to. However,, as a iilattei VI
courtesy to the city fathers, such re-
ports were, when possible. given
space in the columns Of this paper in
the past. The particular report re-
ferred to is an unusually extensive
one-one which will require much
time and work to set up and besides,
will take up considerable space in
these columns. As is well known to
those who read the Chief, during the
nast few months the space in every
issue of the paper has been pretty
we'll taken up by official proceedings
of all kinds and advertisements
that could not be left out, all OF
which taxed the time Of the entire
office force to it's fullest capacity dur
ing those days This explains the de-
Law in setting in type for publication
the lengthy report in question. Nor,
for that matter, can the Chief see
anv special or urgent reason for haste
in the publication Of this particular
report. since it is a matter Of record
that similar reports in the past were
published as late as the month OF
October. However, the report will
be given space in these columns just
as soon as it is possible to do so.
