NOTICE TO VOTERS
Of THE TOWN Of WELSH
o.

AT the Public Caucus held in
the Town of Welsh on March 80,
1921 per my proclamation calling
the same, | stated explicitly that
no one could participate in that
Caucus except such as were legal
ly qualified electors in the Town
of Welsh, and | explained who
were legally qualified.
Upon learning that there were
a number who participated in this
Caucus who were not qualified
electors | submitted the matter to
the Attorneys for the Town of
Welsh for advise and was advised
that |, as Chairman, could not
certify that the Nominees at this
Caucus were legally nominated.
Section Sixteen of Ordinance
Number Sixty eight of the Town
of Welsh provides that no names
of candidates nominated at said
Caucus for Mayor and Trustees
shall be placed upon the Official
BALLOT unless their nominations
are certified to by the officers of
the said Caucus.
On account of the above Situa-
ton there will be no names placed
upon the Official Ballot at the
election to be held on May 3, 1921,
and voters will be required to
write the names of those for
whom they desire to vote for May
or and Trustees OH the Official
Ballot governing themselves by
the provisions Of the General Elec
ton Laws of this State.
JNO. w. ARMSTRONG,
Mayor of the Town of Welsh
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1921-04-30
NO NAMES PRINTED
ON OFFICIAL BALLOT
Citizens Ticket Not Certified To
Because of Illegal Voters.

AS will be seen by the statement
of Mayor Jno. w. Armstrong in
this issue of the Journal, the off
cial ballot to be used in the cleo
ton next Tuesday for mayor and
board of five trustees will not con-
tain the names of the candidates
selected at the caucus, but will
contain blank spaces for writing
in the names.
1t has developed that number
who participated in the caucus
were not qualified because they
had failed to register according to
law. Among this number was the
nominee for mayor. For this reaS-
on Mr.. Armstrong, as chairman of
the caucus could not certify to the
ticket.
The situation is without prece-
dent in Welsh and the result is
hard to predict. Although there is
no record of a regular nominee of
the citizens caucus having failed
in the election, a split in the pre-
sent instance is not impossible
Removing of the names from the
official ballot by disqualification
of the caucus makes no great diff
ference. The vote at the caucus
was the free expression of the citi-
zenS who participated and if those
who were not qualified had not
participated it would not have
changed the results in a single in
stance. Those who participated in
the caucus naturally feel that they
did so advisedly.
Every qualified citizen has one
vote, and they should use that
vote to the best of their knowledge
for the good of the community.
The ballot to be used in the
election will be in the following
form:

An Impressive Spectacle.

Those who witnessed the pic
ture show at the auditorium Tues
day night were fortunate in that
they witnessed a most impressive
perturbation of. the Life of Our
Savior, who died that our sins
might be forgiven. The story told
in picture through modern screen
characters is one that is familiar
to all Christian people but .specta-
cular presentation creates a pro-
found and lasting impression on
whOmever witnesses it. Old or
young, educated or uneducated,
must absorb from it a lesson that
will travel with them throughout
life's journey.
There are those who may con-
tend that an effort to picturize this
holy life by modern fildom con-
stitutes a dissertation, but the only
criticism we could find to offer is
the placing by the National Board
of Censorship of its stamp of APP
proval on The picture. None but
the Devine Himself has the right
to pass on the dramatic SCIENCES of
that sacred life.
The special singer who was to
accompany the picture and fur
|nish the music was taken sick and
did not appear here, the piano
part having been played by Miss
Carrie Leigh of Crowley, sister of
manager, T. c. Simmons.
Those who failed to see Behold
the man" missed a picture of I'M
usual merit.

v. {. TAUGHT IS OUT
OF THE MAYORS RACE

Mr.. w. f. Taught has authoriz-
ed the withdrawal of his an
nOuncement for the office of May
or of Welsh from the columns of
the Journal. The occasion for this
unfortunate turn in affairs was
Mr.. Faught'S failure to register in
time to qualify as an electOr, a
simple matter of oversight but
deeply req ettable under the cir
c1luStanceS, Tor he was the unanI-
nous choice of the voters at the
recent Caucus.
We want to have Mr.. Taught
for our mayor, but under the cir
cumStanceS he will have to wait
two years, unless some unforeseen
cause might necessitate a special
election in the Interim.
Mr.. Taught would have made
us a good mayor and his influence
for harmony would have been a
valuable factor, had his election
been possible. Who the candidate
or candidates for the office will be
now seems to be a question hard
of determination, as, up to the
present none have announced for
the office.
Welsh MAY have to get along
without a mayor, though that is
hardly probable for the honor is
one not to be looked upon lightly

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
SUBMITTING REPORT
OFFERS RESOLUTIONS

AT a mass meeting held in the
high school auditorium last Fri
day night the report of the COM
mittee appointed to examine into
school matters was received.
E. C. Willard acted as chairman
of the meeting and E. F. Hard
castle as secretary. R. F. Weichert
chairman, read the committees
report.
The following resolutions offer
ed by the committee were adopted
the mass meeting:
Be it resolved that we recon-
mend changing of the distribution
of educational fund of state from
a basis of the number of educable
children to that of the actual at
tendance in school.
Recommend that the parish
school board dispense with the
services of the physical director at
once; that they discontinue con-
tributing their part of the salary
of the farm and home demonStra-
ton agents. That the parish super
intendent'S salary be cut not less
than 20 per cent. That the services
of the superintendent secretary
be dispensed with and that the
Parish Treasurer be employed to
keep the superintendent books.
Recommended that the school
board distribute the state school
funds in each ward according to
the enrolment of the previous
year. This recommendation was
made because the cost per capita
of the high school pupils in Ward
Six which includes the Welsh and
Roanoke high schools was out of
proportion to the per capita cost
of the other high schools of the
parish, Ward Six being the only
Ward with two high schools and
having fewer pupils per teacher
than the other high schools. 1t
was felt that if this Ward wished
to maintain more than one high
school at more than an average
cost per pupil that il should not
be done at the expense of the rest
of the pariSh.)
The following resolution was
also adopted:
Whereas. we believe in the
democratic principal of self-go-
vernment, and we believe that
greater efficiency in management
could be secured thereby; and,
whereas, there is a strong demand
,on the part of the tax payers for
a greater share in the management
and controll of the schools; and,
whereas, section eighteen of the
school laws authorizes the parish
school board to appoint a board
of local school directors for each
school and prescribe their duties;
and, whereas, there are numerous
precedentS in sister parishes to
give such a board enlarged pow
erS where a large enrolment and
