SENATE PASSES DRASTIC ANTI-Bo0zE BILL
AT WEDNESDAY SESSION.
Amendment BY Senator v. j. Smith Is Defeated BY
Narrow Margin.

As predicted in our last issue, the
State Senate, Wednesday, passed
their much hcralded Anti-Boose Bill.
What was expected by most of the
state, at least this District, was a
workable Anti-Bootleggers Bill, that
would break up the fragrant Moor
shining Industry and the open ped
ding of illicit liquors about the coun-
try. There was fond hope, however,
that the State Bill would fall some
where short Of the rabid provisions
of the National Volstead Act.
The State Legislature itself went
on record as favoring a less drastic
prohibition bill, evidence Of this be-
ing the resolution passed last week
appealing to the National Congress
for loosening Cf the lines to enable
the making of Light Wines and Beer
legal
Notwithstanding this action, com
miting themselves on the question of
a modified Prohibition Act, the State
Senate Wednesday passed by a vote
of p to 18 what is probably one of
the most drastic prohibition mea-
sures in existence anywhere in the
United States, the last moment ''flop-
ping Of legislator Mouton from Ev-
angeline Parish from the Liberal to
the Dry column, making this ma
jority possible.
A vote in the lower house will not
be had for a few days, but it is al
most a foregone conclusion that the
Bone Drys will have an even easier
time in that body

\. S. FOOTBALL TEAM
TO Be A WINNER.
Abbeville Team Plays Here
Next Saturday.

The opening game Of the New Ibe-
ria High School foot ball season
took place in Jeanerette Monday, and
resulted in tie score Of six to six.
Reports state that the local boys
played in rather hard luck all through
the contest, and also were victims of
several rather doubtful decisions of
the referee, one of these having the
effect of multiplying a touchdown,
which would have made the score II
to in New Iberia's favor.
However, the game did develop the
fact that we have a first class bunch
Of players, and when they get lit
lie more training will be hard com
bination to defeat.
1t is safe to say that when Jeaner-
cite comes here for a return game
on October 20, New Iberia will win
by wide margin.
The first home game on the sche-
dule takes place next Saturday, Oct
ober 8, when Prof. Bahon's aggrega-
ton will administer a defeat to the
strong team from Abbeville.
Season tickets are now on sale, en-
titling the holder to see all the home
games, six in number, for the small
sum of 81 so.
The games played here will all be
staged on the campus of the new
High School grounds, which affords
an ideal football field.
If you are not already football
fan, come out and see this first game,
and you will not want to miss a sin

SENATOR BROUSSARD
BECOMES FAMOUS.
National Magazine Prints
"Pen Sketch" of Iberian.

Honorable Edwin S. Broussard,
judging from the press reports from
the eastern and northern cities. is
! making a great name for himself,
especially in his fight for personal
liberty as regards to the Nolstead
Act and the Prohibition Amendment.
In the second number of the Liber-
ty Lance, a magazine published in
Washington. d. c., we find an inter
esting article concerning Senator
Broussard and his activities at the
National Capitol, which we reprint
here for the benefit of his consttu-
ents in Iberia
The Liberty Lance is in receipt Of
several letters asking us to give
pen sketch of Senator Edwin S.
Broussard.
These queries were no doubt
prompted by the nationwide publicity
the junior Senator from Louisiana
has been accorded in the metropoli-
tan press as result of his remark
able achievements in his successful
fight for our Constitutional rights
and individual liberty The recent
controversy over the anti-prescription
bill misnamed the anti-beer bill. has
made the name of Broussard house
hold word throughout the country.
Involved in this Whilst Campbell
anti-prescription bill were clauses,
which if enacted into law, would have
resulted in the destruction of every
individual right guaranteed to the
citizen. In short, the bill as sponsor
ed by the fanatical prohibitionists
would have created legalized sys-
tenn of espionage; spy system with
power to search without warrant,
condition where no one in this coun-
try would be free from the unscrup-
ulous attacks of officials searching
your home or your person, under the
pretext of assuming you may have
concealed somewhere, a medicine con-
tanning more than one-half of one
per cent of alcohol
This so-called anti-beer bill in it's
original vicious form passed the
House of Representative by a ma
jority of almost three to one. At that
time its sponsors declared the bill
would pass the Senate and become a
law within forty-eight hours. All the
surface indications seemed to bear
out this assertion 1t looked as though

The Liberty Day Celebration, to be
staged in New Orleans on October
1st, promises to become a nationally
famous event, and notables from ev-
cry section of America will be in the
grand street parade.
We understand that quite a num-
Der of iberia citizens will go to the

ria introduced an amendment to the
bill that would allow the transporta-
tion of home made wine or beer that
had been manufactured under provi-
sions of the law.
The law permits the making of
wine from native fruits. What Sena-
tor Smith wanted was to enable a
person to transport his own wine for
his own use This would allow one to
take bottle of wine to the Lake
when going out to eat fish. The
amendment received a majority vote,
but fell short of the two thirds vote
required for an amendment Mr..
Smith put up great fight for this
last remnant of personal liberty but
the odds were too great against him.
The only hope now remaining for
the large element of our citizenry
who appreciate their drink of wine or
beer in its proper place, time and a
mount, is that the governor may re
fuse to sign the bill, and by his Off
cial vote prevent it's becoming law.
Governor Parker has stated openly
that he would refuse to sign any
prohibition measure that he consider
ed Drastic" This being so, it only
remains to be seen just what his un-
derstanding of the term Drastic"
may be. According to most people
who have expressed themselves on the
subject, the bill is most drastic, and
if the Governor sees it in the same
light it will be knocked out.
Should he sign the bill it will be-
come law at the expiration of twenty
days.

AN ACCIDENT.

On last Sunday evening, about
four o'clock, quite serious accident
occurred at the Southern Pacific cross
Ing on Corinne Street, when Mr.. Des-
paliere Prince was very badly mang-
led by the California Limited, going
toward New Orleans.
1t seems that the gentleman is

eral feet into the air, inflicting many
painful bruises. Physicians state that
the injuries will not prove fatal.

SCHOOL CLUB WORK
SHOWS INCREASE.
Iberia Parish Pupils Are
Making Fine Showing.

School Club work in Iberia Parish
IS in thriving condition this session
according to Mr.. St. Dizier, Parisl
Agent, who has spent the week in in
specting the clubs in the variou.
schools.
Accompanying Mr.. st. Dizier wa:
Mr.. Abbott, head of the Club worl
, in Louisiana.
The interest, as stated by these
two gentlemen, is very great, and the
number of pupils enrolling through
out the parish will probably be in
| creased two or three times over what
it was last year
In some cases clubs that had bur
ten or twelve members have reached
as high as forty or more.
From all over the state similar en-
couraging reports are coming in, and
the total number of club boys and
girls, which reached 10000 last year,
will go over the 10000 for the pres
ent session.
The Federal Department at Wash
ington has noticed the great arousal
of interest in this line Of endeavor,
and the U. S. Commissioner of Agri-
culture has his eye on Louisiana. He
expects to see this state take fore
most place in agricultural and stock
breeding activities during the next
few years.
From the original idea of corn and
pig clubs, the work in the state has
broadened in scope, until now it in
cludes active organizations for pro-
noting the raising of corn, cotton,
sweet potatoes, orchards, and vege-
tables, pigs, calves, poultry, dairy
cattle and bees.
When we stop to think that in
few short years these club boys and
girls will be the farm managers of
our state, we can have faint idea
of how progressive Louisiana will be-
come in another ten years, which is
just another way of saying how rich
the state will become, and how good
business generally will be.
The work of enrolling members in
Iberia Parish is not yet completed,
but in another week or two we hope
to give the final membership Of each
club.

FEWER FREIGHT CARS
FIT FOR USE AT ONCE
Decrease Is About $4,000
During Year.

A sudden. large increase in the demand
for freight cars would produce a car
shortage more quickly than is generally
realized. according to an editorial in the
current issue OF the Rdillcdy Age. Point
ing out that the roads have about
$4,000 less cars fit for immediate SER
vice than they had a year ago and 295.-
600 less than they had on January l.
1918. the editorial says I'm part:
In 1917 there were in service on the
class l railways OF the United States
2.479.500 freight cars. the largest num-
Der owned by the railroads in their his
tory. Since that time each succeeding
year has seen a decline in the number of
freight cars. There were 81, 800 less in
service in 1918 than in 1917. and 36,s00
less in 1919 than in 1918. In 1920 there
was further decrease OF 5000 car9.
This decrease in the number of freight
cars Is almost entirely due to the fact
that the cars ordered by the Railroad
Administration in 1918 and 1919 were
entirely Inadequate TO replace those re-
tired during those two years.
I'm 1920 the railways broke all rec
ords for volume OF traffic handled, with
about 160. 900 less cars actually in condi-
ton for service than We're available in
1917. This accomplishment marked the
highest effectiveness ever attained in the
utilization of freight cars. but it was
attained by the adoption or some methods
with the permanency of which the ship
ping public could hardly BE expected to
agree The railroads are now appar-
emily facing a revival of business. Since
tle last week in March there has been a
steady increase In car loadings, which
In the six weeks ending May IA. amount

RETAIL TRADE SPURTS
WITH BETTER WEATHER
Wholesale Business Lags,
With Collections SloU.

Reports of rather quiet trade at
wholesale. of slightly slower pace of
some hitherto fairly active industries
and of a further tagging in collections
find partial balance in a relatively more
active trade at retail. due to the diff
fusion of the higher temperatures
throughout the country" says Bradstreets
in its weekly review of trade. "Of the
developments of the week in big basic
lines, it may be said that most of these
seem to be on the favorable side.
"These include the first payment OF
German reparations, the further weaken
ing of the shipping strike. the evidences
of greater stabilization of prices of lead
ing staples, notably wheat and cotton.
the former especially strengthening the
reduction ordered by the Railway Labor
Board in wages of transportation work
ers, this action being increasingly re-
garded as foreshadowing lower freight
costs on commodities. and the accept
ance of reduced wages by some build
ing hands and clothing workers.
Early compiled measures of May
movement. clearings and failures point
to a further slight subsidence in the
volume of banking operations. but like
wise to a further ebbing in the tide of
business failures. the latter however. ac-
companied by rather full total OF liza
bilities. rejecting mainly the register
ing in the court of last resort OF the bust
ness world Of some earlier crippled busi-
ness enterprises.
"On balance it may be said that there
is rather general agreement that i'm
provement. though slow. is nevertheless
perceptible and that the tone OF things
is certainly none the less cheerful,
though the pace of business is confessed
ly slower than earlier sanguine expecta-
tions"
