LIFELONG RESIDENT OF WEST
SIDE CANDIDATE FOR
JUDGE,

Robert E. O'Connor was born in AL.
giers, october 18th, 1875, and has re-
sided here all of his life.
He attended the public schools, Boys
High School, Soules' Commercial Col
lege.
His father died when he was quite
young and Notwithstanding his hav-
ing to assist in the support of mother
and sisters, he completed mis- educa-
ton by hard study and graduated from
Tulane University as a lawyer in 1899.
He was in business life and for
several years connected with the GUS
toms service. He began to practice
law actively in 1902, and by industry
and careful attention to his clients
interests built up a large practice. He
has been for some years attorney and
is now notary for one of the large
homestead associations of this city.
In 1908 and 1910, he served in the
State Senate. AS there were many
prominent issues before the Legisla-
ture at that time, his work was over
looked by many of the people. During
his entire public career. he was con-

smaller trains for railroad men, ar

child labor and was prominent in Sc.
curing increased pay and vacations for
the city firemen; he worked hard for
the cause of education and to obtain
money for schools and teachers. He
refers proudly to his efforts in these
matters and invites thorough exami
nation of his record.
In his practice, Mr.. O'Connor ha!

During the war he served on tn
committee to handle the questionable

THE HORNETS.

The Hornets of Algiers, after re-
organizing and under a new manage
ment, defeated the Liberty Pops of
New Orleans Sunday morning at the
City Park in a one-sided game by a
score II to A. The Pops gave up
the game in the 9Th inning instead
of playing a full Shining game.
The feature of the game was the
hitting of B. Perez who secured four
singles and a three-base hit in as
many times up, and also ]. Caldwell,
the Hornet pitcher, who pitched a
fine game in the pinches, also secur-
ing four hits and a sacrifice fly out
of five times up and hitting one of
the longest home runs tht ever was
witnessed by any of the players. All
of the Hornets players secured more
than two hits each, and fielded star
game.
The Hornets will play the strong
Alamo Stars at Clease Park Sunday
morning, July oath, at $3.50 a. m,
and the Trupiano Stars in the after
noon.

eer, Joe ]. CHINO, personally, any

TROOP NO. 81 BOY SCOUTS OF
AMERICA.

Troop No. 80, Boy Scouts of Amer
lea will hold their regular weekly
meeting Saturday, July %, at 606
Opelousas Ave, at Z P. NJ.
Character development is the real
objective of the Boy Scout Move
ment. Every step in the Scouting
program is but a means to this end.
The variety and interest of, as well
as the practical knowledge insured
by the tenderfoot, second-class and
first-class tests are, after all, but a
means for holding the interest of the
boy, pledged to the Scout OATH and
Law, under such leadership as will
bring about character development
Likewise the whole scheme of merit
badges is primarily for this same
purpose. The form of troop organi
cation, the scoutmaster and his as
sistants, the local council, and in
deed the National Council and al
of its officers, are also but a mean.
| to this end.
This character development mani
tests itself in health, efficiency
chivalry, loyalty, patriotism ant
good citizenship.
This is a playground troop, there
fore boys connected with the play
grounds are especially wanted a.
members.

ligion, THE Son of God who was made
Man" The statement of this truth is
as follows: THE Son, who is the
Word of the Father, the very and eter-
nal God, of one substance with the
Father, took mans nature in the womb
of the blessed Virgin; so that two
whole and perfect natures-that is to
say, the Godhead and manhood-were
be divided, where of is one the Christ,
very God and very man, who truly
suffered, was crucified, dead and
buried, to reconcile his Father to us,
and to be a sacrifice, not only for
original guilt, but also for the actual
sins Of men,
