DRIVE FOR FUNDS
TO BUILD SEMINARY
ARCHBISHOP SHAW STARTS cRUS
ABE FOR CREATION OF
GREAT INSTITUTION

The Most Reverend Archbishop
John w. Shaw, has appealed to the
Catholics Of the diocese for one mil
lion dollars with which to build and
endow a Catholic seminary in the
archdiocese. Stimulating appeals
have been made by talented Catholic
orators who have shown the great
and immediate need for this work.
Archbishop Shaw has undertaken 1t
from a keen sense OF his duty as the
spiritual leader of Catholics. He is
enioined to undertake and push this
work to completion by the Councils
of Trent and Baltimore and by the
canon laws OF the church.
In the seminary will be educated
priests native to the soil Of Louisi-
ana and fully acquainted with the
customs and needs Of our people. For
200 years the diocese has been estab-
lished and is the second oldest in the
United States. Until the present time
need for Catholic priests has been
supplied from European countries and
from other dioceses and only very
few have been furnished through To-
cal effort.
Archbishop Shaw is not only the
spiritual leader OF the Catholic in a
broad expanse Of states but is a
southern man conceded to be 100 per
cent American 1t is admitted that
no education is a full education un-
less it be built upon religious foun-
dation This proper foundation can,
in the judgment of Archbishop Shaw,
be best furnished by the Catholic
priests who by their lives and teach
ings form the minds Of the younger
generation and make of them not on
ly good members of their church but
the best of American citizens.
The crusade for the one million
dollars required is under way in the
parishes of Orleans, Washington, st.
Helena, Livingston, Tangipahoa, St.
Bernard, Plaquemine, East and West
Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, her
vile, Point Coupee, Ascension, Terre-
bonnie, st. James, st. John, st.
James, st. John, St. Charles, Jeffer-
son, Lafourche, part of Assumption
and part of ST. Martin, and part of St.
Mary. In this territory there will be
at work approximately 5000 Catholic
who have been organized into move
ment determined to bring the crusade
to a successful termination. Every
Catholic is expected as matter of
conscience, to give to the fund as
much as he possibly can. Contribu-
tons will be accepted also from non
Catholics.
| Inasmuch as many non-Catholics in
business benefit from the patronage
of their Catholic neighbors and are
maintained largely in business by the
Catholics they should, in a matter OF
/ this kind, reclprOcate.
1t is an admitted fact that members
of the Catholic faith have, at all time!
answered every call of their govern
ment and risked their lives in every
war waged by our government, ant
have supported literally every move
ment fostered by other creedS,
This the first appeal that Arch
bishop Shaw has ever made for funds
He is entitled to generous support an,
may be relied upon to give full ant
exact account of hsi stewardship.

GOOD ROADS, BETTER DRAINAGE

Heavy rains the first Of the week
more than ever furnished an object
lesson of the value of drainage Tor
public roads. Wherever highways
have been properly graded and drain
ed surplus water ran off quickly leav-
ing the roads as smooth as glass
and much better than poorly kept
gravel roads for ordinary travel.
Wednesday several farmers from
Waxia were in Opelousas and when
asked how they managed to get here
replied that the road from home to
Port Barre was excellent, that from
Port Barre not so good, though the
latter has been gravelled. This was
surprising and pleasing information,
when we recollect few years ago
after every prolonged wet spell the
Waxia road was VIGOROUSLY impas-
sable for vehicles and almost so for
horses.
After following the bayou for gen
lerations, the residents Of that section
Bat last learned it was impossible to
Nkeep up their main road on account
EOf the red, sticky mud, and wisely
Sconcluded to get it away from the
bayou front and run it along the high
4 ridge. Once the resolution was mare
work was begun Immediately, and the
horrible bugbear, the Waxia road, is
now a thing Of the dim past. The dirt
! road that took it's place is high and
dry and easy to drain and though it
IS not hard-surfaced, still is smooth
and in fine shape.
The story that holds good for the
Waxia road will prove equally as
true for practically every dirt road
in ST. Landry. With perfect drain
age and improved bridges the matter
of all-year travel in automobiles, wa
CONS etc, is not grave problem to
face Some uniformed people have
the idea that it requires gravel to
keep a road in good shape all the
time, and that once gravelled the
work is forever complete. No great
er error of Judgment was ever made
and as an example we have but to
refer the doubling Thomases to the
gravel highway between Lafayette and
Rayne for good quality, that between
Rayne and Crowley for splendid ex-
hibition of bad gravel road
In the case of the road from La
fayette to Rayne much money and
work has been expended while be-
tween Rayne and Crowley evidently
little money or labor has been placed
and as a natural consequence the mo-
tOrist signs with contentment when
his car rolls off the last yard of that
so-called modern highway.
Gravel roads are no doubt splendid
acquisitions to facilities for travel,
but it Is mistaken idea that we can
not have good roads without this rsld
surfacing material being added. g..
Ell roads without proper, scientific
drainage soon become a delusion and
a snare, and we have had and still
have some splendid and expensive
examples of that fact right her cir
st. Landry.
Without proper drainage-the quick
elimination OF water-after every
heavy rain, it is impossible TO have
good roads no matter what the sur
facing material is. Money spent fol
grading without the accompanying
work of drainage is money thrown
away The governing authorities haC
as well recognize this fact of better
drainage right now and see tina
henceforth all roads, no matter wheth
er hard-surfaced or plain dirt, b,
drained along with the grading.

NO LAW LIMITS THE OUTLAY

| for the purpose of influencing the
election of delegates to national con-
ventions at which candidates for

session.
Would Limit $4,000 to Sta.e.
In addition to providing for full
/ publicity of such contributions the bill
provides that no candidate shall ex-
pend or cause to be expended or con-
! tri5uted more than $4,000 in any one
state.
This would limit the total sum. if
the maximum were expended in each
state, which might be expended for a
presidential nominating campaign to
$3.50 900. Personal expenditures of the

The first act of Congress relating to

making money contributions in connec-

providing for publicity of contributions

(, tors and representatives was enacted
in June, 1910. The law was amended

| than allowed by the state laws. and
| that III the case of a candidate for the
/ House. he should not eXpend more than

for the Senate, that he should not ex-

Why should Senator Truman New
berry of Michigan be indicted and
held guilty of a crime by a jury be-
cause there was expended in his cam
paign for nomination and election as
senator about 100000. when Gov.
Lowden of Illinois may spend nearly
100000 himself in his campaign for
the republican nomination for Presi :
dent. without running any danger of
prosecution? Why is it possible for
the supporters of Gen. Wood for the
republican nomination to expend
nearly a million dollars in the pre-
convention campaign for delegates
and there be no prosecution?
The answer is simple. There is a
federal law and a state law in Michi-
gan that limits the amount of money
which a candidate for election to the
Senate or House may eXpcnd or cause
to be expended in his campaign.
There is no law, federal or state,
which limits the amount which may
be expended in convention cam
paigns by candidates for the nomina-
tion for President. or which limits the
amount which may be expended in the
election Of presidential and vice
presidential electors after the noni-
nation has been made.
The investigation now being con-
Quoted by the Senate privileges and
elections subcommittee into the ex-
pendtures of money by and for can
didates for the presidential nomina-
ton of all parties has turned the
lime1ight upon the use of money in
political campaigns. The results of
the Investigation may have lmpor-
tant bearing upon the selection OF
candidates at the coming national
conventions, and also upon the elec-
tions iH-' November. The demand for
law to curb expenditures in presiden
tial preferential primaries and in ma
tional elections is becoming stronger
and stronger.
