JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

Among the important legislation
that should be considered by the in
coming legislature and which has not
been discussed by any of the Louisi-
ana newspapers, is that dealing on
Juvenile delinquency in the country
parishes Of Louisiana.
Under existing laws Louisiana is
raising a certain percentage of its
boys and girls in a veritable state of
delinquency, and less attention is be-
ing paid them than to the stock on
the farms.
A law that would give the parochi-
al authorities power to deal with the
youthful offenders who become a
menace to a community, would do
much to correct the lives of many
young boys and girls of the state.
Louisiana needs a law that can
curb these who wilfully commit crime
and who know that on account of
their youthfulness they can not be
prosecuted, and it is to be hoped that
some member of the new legislature
win see fit to draft a law that would
be suitable. Surely time could be
well spent to no more better use than
the protection of our children.

FIRE DESTROYS
BARN AT TRACK
Oil Stove Explodes and Sets
Famous Building Attire on
Last Thursday Night

The explosion of an oil stove was
the cause of the destruction by fire
early Thursday night Of the Wallior
race rack barn, located just outside
the eastern corporate limits of the
city.
When the alarm was given the
big building was too far enwrapped
in flames to be saved. Quick response
by the fire boys prevented the fire
from spreading to adjacent buildings.
The race track barn was famous in
the days when Opelousas was mec-
ca for horse race lovers. The many
stalls in the old stable housed some of
the fastest horses in the country.
1t is said that William .Wallior, who
has been living in room at the sta
BILE, lighted his oil stove and had gone
out for few minutes and during his
absence the stove exploded and the
building quickly caught fire. The
several animals housed in it were,
however, saved from the flames.

honor the memory Of the brave boy
who had given his bright young life
at his country's call.
Due appreciation should be express
ed for the untiring efforts of Mrs.
Martin Schmidt, Miss Gussie Wolff
and Miss Kinda Klaus to make per-
feet success of the dedication of the
monument, on which they had spent
so much time and thought.
Loving hands had decorated build
ing and monument with our nations
flag and colors, and the crowd seem
ed to feel the sacredness of the oc-
casion. Young folks wore subdued
expression and older faces seemed
sad, while all waited for the opening
of the program.
First, there was short prayer by
the local priest, then our loved "Star
Spangled Banner" sung by the
school children, accompanied by Miss
Gussie Wolff. After that, a beauti-
full sacred solo rendered by Mrs. Will
lie Stewart of Opelousas. Tears
came to many eyes as her sweet voice
made more real the blessed thought
of seeing "Him Face to Face" and
the glad reunion of loved ones on the
other shore.
The addresses by Mr.. Wilson, Hon.
Alex Swords and our own Mr.. Bittle,
were fine and all were filled with
tender pathos and kindly recollec-
tions of the young man whose short
life had ended SO CALAMITY on ''Flan-
ders' Fields"
Our hearts went out to the six Of
the American Legion who sang the
"Vacant Chair" Possibly they real
lied more than any other there just
what it had meant to Jasper to say
goodbye to home and friends.
Miss Brunette Klaus reading, ''Not
Afraid to DIE" impressively given,
and then Coward, Christian Sol
der rang out, calling all people in
all places to be loyal to the King of
Kings.
At the very last, Mr.. Manning War
telle drew aside the flag of red, white
and blue, revealing the beautiful
marble shaft, which shall tell to the
coming generations how one Of our
own died for his nation and all ma
tions. x. X. X,

HOW ABOUT 1T, POLICE JURY1

Some months ago the president of
the police jury, as well as the rank
and file of the members of that aug
ust body, registered a severe kick
against the telephone service in Ope-
lousas. For many reasons, partic
ularly on account OF the war, the ju-
rors granted the inefficient company
to continue operations with its many
good promises of materially imprOy-
ing existing conditions. In our es-
timation these improvements have not
been made. On the contrary, they
appear to be further away from Ope-
lousas than ever.
The police jury can do much to re-
lieve the present situation. The body
can send a representative committee
before the railroad commission to pre-
sent vehement demands on the part
of Opelousas and St. Landry sub
scribers of the Cumberland company,
and results could without doubt be
attained.
The service is rotten, if this mild
word can explain conditions here. 1t
is admitted by everybody. The COM
pany appears to be absolutely indif-
ferent as to the peoples demands and
their main interest with the subscrib-
ers here is to collect each month their
really unearned pay for rotten serv-
ice. 1t will not pay for competent
employees and the salaries paid to
the operators at the Anticipated and
worn-out switchboard is so insignifi-
cant as not to justify anyone working
with a view Of lettering the service.
The natural consequence is that Oper-
ators are being changed almost as
frequently as Jupiter Pluvius changes
the weather.
Rates have been materially in
creased and subscribers have lodged
complaints-they were willing to
bear their burden of the load. At the
same time it was naturally expected
that the local employees of the conf
pany would be benefited by an in
crease in salaries and the service
thereby improved. The only feature
of the bright plan was the additional
digging" into the subscribers poe
kets of the long-suffering subscribers
for the further enriching of the no
nopoly and no more pay or very little
for the poor employees. The people,
as a result of this method Of playing
all loose ends against the middle, pay
more and get less efficiency.
This condition can not exist much
longer The Cumberland Telephone
Company has been given ample time
to improve its equipment and service
We have waited long enough and our
patience should be exhausted and is
thoroughly exhausted. OpeIousas
should demand the service that is
being given other cities-service that
it amply pays for-or else we just as
well maks up our minds to be slaves
to a service corporation that outward
ly does not give a rap for the public
except for what it can gouge out oil it.
We would respectfully urge the
police jury to take action at the next
meeting of that body. The members
can rest assured that the Star Prog
ress viii assist them to the end that
Opelousas and St. Landry can and
will have better telephone service
from the monopoly, or know the rea-
son why.
