on their selection why then should
they expect these same officials to
be Llncolns and Washingtons.
Reform must begin at the bottom
among the people themselves. There
can be no faithful officials unless
there is a faithful electorate, alive
to its duties, it's inherited principles
and the Obligations of is citizenship.
The people frequently play the
lgnoble role of Esau and sell their
hlrthrights for a mess of pottage.
Petty politicians play on their preju-
dice and their own selfish interests.
The citizen stay away from the polls,
or barters his vote for some personal
favor then is bitterly indignant be-
cause his representative, really
chosen by the clever manipulation of
public opinion does likewise, or be-
cause he is blind to some vital public
cause.
The remedy for most of our politi
cal ills is not the resort to mob yio-
lence, or the wild theories of the radi-
cal. but rather the exercise of wis
dom, unselfshness and patriotism on
the part of the people.
The electorate is and alwavs will
be as responsible as the representa-
tive.

Argue Damage Suit.

Judge Charles T. Workman and
Judge Edmund Maurin of this city,
attended a session of the district
court in Napoleonville last Thursday
as attorneys for Florence Reynaud,
a daughter of James Plaisance, who
was killed last year while employed
as bricklayer in the construction of
the ice house then being built by con-
tractor Corbin in Napoleonville. The
plaintiff is child of the deceased
and is suing Mr.. Corbin and the
Maryland Surety Co., as surety for
Mr.. Corbin, under the compensation
laws of this state for damages result
ing from the death of her father.
Testimony had been previously taken
in Donaldsonville and concluded in
Napoleonville and the case argued.
Judge Sam A. Leblanc took the case
under advisement and in the mean
while requested the lawyers in the
case to submit authorities in support
of their respective contentious.

HAPPENINGS AT
PARISH CAPITAL

Business will begin to pick up
around the courthouse next Monday,
when the regular term of the district
court will open. The court will sit
| for two weeks. There are not many
cases on the docket, however, but
| some Of considerable interest will be
heard by the court.
| In few days the parish court
house can very appropriately be cali
ed the "White House, of the parish.
Work was begun Thursday on putting
on a pure white coat Of paint on the
building. Some of the upper portions
has been completed and present a
very handsome appearance. AS soon
as the entire building is painted it will
hardly be recognized as the old court
house. Work on repairs in the in
terror is progressing nicely and con-
tractor J. L. Messina expects to finish
the entire work in a few weeks.
Much delay has been caused by rea-
son Of inability to get material
through the car shortage, but some.
of the necessary material has last
arrived and it is thought the work
can be speeded up to some extent
Collection of taxes is progressing
very fairly, according to chief depu-
ty Leblanc of the sheriff's office.
More taxpayers are coming in early
to pay their taxes this year than last
year and it is expected there will be
many less deliquents judging from
the way the payments are now being
received.
Philip Ward, an insane negro, who
lived in the upper end of the Port Bar
row section, and who has been confn-
ed in the parish Jail for some time,
was sent to Jackson by Sheriff Ri
chard last Tuesday. A colored woman
named Missouri Robertson, from the
seventh ward, was brought to the Jail
this week. She was adjudged insane
in 1913, but was let out of the in
sane asylum, it being thought she
had recovered her mental powers, but
recently she has become violent
again and was brought to the Jail for
safe keeping. She will probably be
sent to Jackson during the coming
week.
William Killain, Marshal Glover
all colored, were charged in an affi-
davit sworn out by R. L. Fridge with
stealing 400 pounds of cotton at Acy
postoffice. The accused made bond
and are held over to the February
term of court.

DEATH OF VETERAN,
| ARTHUR F. L'BLANC
Old Citizen Passes to Great Beyond
Last Wednesday Afternoon.

Arthur F. Leblanc, aged IS years
and 6 months, departed this life las
Wednesday afternoon at 80 O'Clock
at the residence of his son-in-law anc
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Solar
The funeral was held on Thursday
afternoon at o'clock, with services
at the Catholic church, Rev. Father
Chambon officiating. A large con
course of sorrowing friends attended
the last rites, deceased having been
for many years prominent citizen
in this community and was held IN
the highest respect by the people OF
this section.
Deceased was a native of Ascension
parish and has always made it his
home, he is survived by two sons,
Albert Leblanc Of this city, and Ara
mis- Leblanc of New Orleans, and
one daughter, Mrs. Joseph Solar of
this city. At the time Of his death
he was filling second term of office
as one of the justices Of the peace
of the third (Donaldsonville) ward.
He was member of Olive Camp No.
| Woodmen of the World, and of Majo
Victor Maurin Camp, No. 38, U. c. V.
In the great war for southern in
| dependence between the north and
the south, deceased enlisted in Com
pany E. 28th Louisiana regiment Of
the Confederate army. He was then
seventeen years of age. The officers
of Company E. were Captain E.
Lauve, lieutenants, Edward Wives
and Philip Gilbert. The company
was recruited in the parishes of AS
sumption, Ascension and Ibervile.
1t was a part of the 28th Louisiana,
commanded, first by Colonel Allen
Thomas, afterwards promoted to
brigadier general. Colonel Thomas
was succeeded by Colonel Octave Lam
dry, who, after the war was promi-
nent in state politics.
The 28th Louisiana regiment par
ticipated in the operations of the
Trans-Mississippi department and fl
nally reached Vicksburg, where one
of the bloodiest battles of the war
was fought. The siege Of Vicksburg
lasted forty days and veteran Le-
Blanc participated in the military
operations there, notably in the battle
of Chicasaw Bayou, where General
Lee, distant relative of the famous
General R. E. Lee defeated the fed
eral army. Overcome by numerical
majority, the confederate forces final
ly surrendered and were paroled
Veteran Leblanc being among the pa
rolled prisoners of war returned home
After the war he engaged in the
printing business and was employed
for years on The Chief, then owned
by L. E. Bentley. The veteran after
wards conducted printing shop of
his own, first in the Krieger building,
which stood on the site of the present
Elks' club, and then on the corner
of Railroad avenue and Opelousas
street, where now stands the Ferro
garage. Judge Leblanc finally sold
out his printing business and was
elected one of the justices of the
peace of the third ward. He was
noted as an interesting reconteur and
in his early years was a participant
in many minstrel shows, in which he
displayed much talent.
His hciy waslaid4to. rest beside
thse of his comradeN arms, in the
veterans tomb Of Camp Major Victor
Maurin of the Confederate Veterans,
in the Catholic cemetery.

AN ARRANGEMENT.

Governor Parker's arralgnment, II
4 recent speech, of the rank ana ln'
Of American citizens for their flag
rant neglect of their civic duties was
timely. There is continuous denun
citation of administrations and OIL
cials in this country from the Presl-
dent of these United States to the
little town or parish dignitaries, yet
most of the people are too engrosseo
with their private affairs and the
achievements of their personal am
bitions to undertake any service for
the betterment of conditions.
Our patriotism and our civic res
possibilities are frequently left to
chance opportunity and the manipu-
alton of selfish interests.
Governor Parker asked this parti-
cular audience to name the state Of
ticials of Louisiana. No one ans
Wered out of IN aggregation Of alert
business men in one of the largest
rities of the country.
The incident might happen any
where. 1t illustrates one of the great
est dangers of the existence of a
liberal government. 1t is certain that
if these men were ignorant of the
names of the officials Of the state
government they must be equally ig-
norant of their personalities, tenden-
cies and characters
Yet one of the most cherished
privileges of democracy is the IL
cense to criticise, or condemn, those
temporarily in the seats of the
mighty.
History shows that truly
representative government is the
best form of civil administration vet
devised by man. All the failures of
representative government under a
system like ours can be traced direct
ly to the Indifference, or sheer folly
of the people themselves. The rep
resentative form guards alihc against
the passion Of the mob and the tutoc-
Iacy of the ambitious tyrant.
But tyrants and drmagogups are
sound under all syscms and in all
ages. UnleSSs the citizens take the
same interest in choosing those who
are To administer to their government
that they do in selecting their clerks or
their servants, they have no right to
complain of the injustice, the apathy
nr the lack Of ability on the part Of
Lhese men.

.ants. but if the masters are too in
'olent, or too busy in pursuing other
interests TO exercise time and thought

Taking Desperate Chances.

It is true that many contract Sc
we're colds and recover from them
without taking any precaution or
treatment, and knowledge of this
fact leads others to take their chan
ces instead of giving their colds the
needed attention. 1t should be borne
in mind that every cold weakens the
lungs, lowers the vitality, makes the
system less able to withstand each
succeeding attack and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Can
you afford to take such desperate
chances when Chamberalin's Cough
Remedy, famous for it's cures of bad
colds may be had for trife? (Adv.)

planes of his face would be fattened.
She could hardly wait to show him
what she had brought in with the
tea. She slipped the tray onto the
table and put the thing into his
hands.
It was a letter written to the

fingers of England were slipping off
of Egypt!
Then a cool, firm hand entered his
own. He locked down and, all at
once, as by some sorcery, the white
city with its hell Of sounds became a
thing unreal. He saw only the girl
who stood beside him, straight, slim,
1.-the, and beautiful as a Maid, her
dark hair banked around her face.
He noted every detail Of her-her
long lashes, her exquisite mouth.
And the most mysterious, the most
irresistible impulse i'll the world
seized him. He turned swiftly,
caught her up in his arms, and
kissed her.
AS their lips met, the girls arms
went out around him. Her warm
body seemed to melt into his own,
to become a part Of him, of every
nerve, Of every blood drop, Of every
fragment Of his flesh and her voice,
broken with kisses, seemed to muir
muir in his heart.

He crossed the garden in great

but the heavy whip dashed him, cut
ting his face, his neck, his shoulders
and, like a dog, he was driven back.
And a moment later the whole evil
featured troop went crowding
through the gate like jackals.
He shot the bolts and made the
gate fast. Then he felt a hand
slipped through his arm, and the
girl was beside him. Her face was
full Of color. There was something
soft and fiery in the pose of the
bead, the chin thrust out, and the
teeth set on the velvet underlip.
1t was fine! They were afraid"
She said.
And again, all over, the man felt
that heavenly warmth. her figure
in the soft light seemed rounded out.
Her slender face CLEANED like a
flower. And he wanted to take her
in his arms and clutch her to his
mouth He felt, in sort of panic,
that in a moment his head would go.

he said. Words seemed to steady
him.
Then, far out in the city, he heard
the cackle of a machine gun, and he
got himself in hand.
