The Ellison White Chautauqua Assoc
citation will close their weeks program in
fhis City next Sunday evening. The at
fractions have proven q great pleasure 70
the people Of this community. This can
be attested to by the large. Overlooking
audiences which is packed in the big tent
at every performance. With the
exception Of the joint debate on
Tuesday night effecting the reputation Of
the Two great parties Of the United States,
we believe the public in general are more
than satisfied with the numbers. The
musicals and lectures were all edifylng
and instructive and taken collectively
they were worth many times over the
cost Of the tickets. Mr.. Shepard, the
manager IN charge worked Increasingly
to make the performances success and
won many warm friends who win regret
his departure and the close Of the brilliant
and talented performers

REAR ADMIRAL PEARY STRIKES
HIS FLAG TO THE GREAT COM
MANDER-IN- CHIEF.

On the 10th day of February Rear
Admiral Robert E. Peary, United States
Navy, died at his home in Washington,
D. c., after an illness of two years. Two
weeks before his death he underwent an
operation for blood TRANSMISSION, and this
only revived him temporarily.
During his illness, Rear Admiral
Peary, submitted to forty blood trans
fusions, and it Is said that this was the
only way in which the great explorer
life covld be maintained. Rear Admiral
Pca--. vys7 fighting to the last, and re-
rained conscious until the last breath had
left the greatest and most prominent
explorer that the world has ever known.
Rear Admiral Peary was born in Cres-
son, Pa, May 6, 1856, and was the son
of Charles and Mary Peary.
The famous Rear Admiral had not
been in good health since his triumphal
return from bis Artic expedition and sub
uequent controversy ever the discovery Of
the North Pole. He bah been fiqht;nE
against an snaemic condition, which was
only prolonged by the TRANSMISSION Of
blood.
His first Artic expedition was in 1886.
at which time he went far into Green
land; again in 1891 he headed another
expedition Of explorers. During the fo'
lowing years he mad repeated attempts
to reach the Pole, but it was not until

SHORTAGE OF FARM HANDS.

We hear of considerable complaint on
the part Of the farmers relative to the
shortage Of farm hands in this Parish.
Despite the attractive wages and steady
work farm hands are being attracted to
the cities and unless steps are taken to
counteract the migration from the plan
tations. the agriculsurists will suffer. In
many instances no doubt, better pay Is
responsible for the drift from the farm
to the city. On the other hand can. %
seen daily loafing around the streets Of
New Iberia and the highways Of the Par
ish able-bodie men who refuse to work
at most any price In great measure
this is due to the numerous gambling
places prevailing in the towns along the
Southern Pacific, New Iberia not the
exception. The promiscuous licensing Of
pool rooms and gambling clubs under
the non de- plume Of social clubs i doing
more 10 disturb the labor situation than
the attractive wages paid in the cities.
Il Is unfortunate that charters protecting
and encouraging gambling Of almost
every fern other than the throwing Of
dice. has become the order Of the day in
South Louisiana. It is only a question
Of fine when II win be necessary 70
revoke such ordinances # we hope to get
the negro back to useful occupation.

FERTILE LANDS OF THE TECHE
COUNTRY.

On Thursday we were shown two
stalks Of 1918 uncultivated stubble cane
which was left standing since the year
above mentioned. on Ivanhoe Plantation
at cypremont. The seed cane was
brought TO New Iberia by one of the
owners Of the plantation, Mr.. j. E. Yer
rett and measured over six feet in
heighth and is in splendid condition for
seed. The cane was left in the field 1t
the time because Of shortage Of hands
and continued to grow without any more
attention. What need to go to tropical
country to grow sugar cane when we have
such an ideal climate and rich lands right
here at home.

apUBLIc OPINION BE DAMNED.

You, reader, have probably heard some
fellow blow up and exclaim, Public opin-
ion be damned don't care rap for it,
But he does-we all do.
II is human nature for us to want our
neighbors to think we'll Of US. Even if it
is not especially SO as matter Of pers-
onal pride, it is so as one of good judg-
ment and sound business policy.
The man who is well thought of has
many friends, and these friends are a
valuable asset to him. in business--they
bring him trade and increase his finan-
cial revenues.
There are many things man may do
that would lower him in the estimation
Of the public, yet would not bring him
into conflict with the law. And have You
noticed that men invariably conceal these
little acts as much as possible7 And
why7 Because they do not wish to incur
the displeasure Of their fellow men-and
women.
Were It not for the moral effect Of
public opinion this world would soon be-
come maelstrom of iniquity and de-
bauchery. 1T would be impossible as a
place Of residence for respectable men
and women, and to bring children into
existence under such conditions would be

Public opinion makes or unmakes as,
as we court its verdict.
We value il, and we cherish its good
re- arts
For when all other courts fail, public
opinion becomes the court Of last resort.

Memorial Day

We stand beneath Our Count
ry's Flag,
On this Memorial Day
And watch our soldiers old and
young,
The brown heads and the gray.
Not many left, whose hair is
white;
Whose steps are getting slow;
To go and decorate the graves
Of heroes long ago.
Slowly they gather round the
flag,
These few that still are living !;
With saddened hearts and tear
full eyes
All honor they are giving.
List to the bugle call-they
come;
The chariots swing low,
And gathering up the waiting
ones,
They swiftly onward go.
To place the flags and strew
the flowers
Ger many a brave mans dust ;
Whose souls have long been
with their God,
| A God we know is just.
And when the Last Call comes
for these,
While muffled drums are beat
ing,
May the Great Commander
from above,
Reach down His hand in greet
ing.

ofe"ings. The funeral and

The Anonymous Letter Writer

Within the last few weeks
the plague of anonymous let
ters seems to have broken out
with unusual vigor.
There are no words too strong
to describe the sender of an an
onymous letter. What does
the world think of the scround-
rel who creeps up in the dark
behind another person and at
tacks him? If the result is
death the attacker is branded
as a murderer and punished
accordingly. And what of the
person who attacks in the dark
by means of an anonymous let
ter? Is such a person any bet
ter than a murderer? At best,
he or she is small or mean; a
liar, and a coward, afraid to
come out under his or her own
name.
He or she is a murderer of
trust, of love, of happiness. Un-
fortunately, the person who
stabs with a knife can be brot
to Justice, but the person who
stabs with a pen often escapes
or is let "by", sometimes thru
consideration for their families
when they should be brought
to justice for the safety of the
Community. At any rate all
of these anonymous missiles"
| like something unclean and in
fected should be destroyed and
forgotten.
If all receivers of such letters
took this course, and did not al
low their lives to be disturbed
by such contemplate means,
the low end desired by the
writer would be effectually de-
feated.
