Editor News-Times,

Dear Sir:
In enumeratins the influences
which will and are making China
mighty world power did not the
editor omit the most potent infu-
-ence. reference 10 which was made
in a news item In the same issue Of
the News-Times.
In the early history Of our own
nation very definite and open reCog-
milton was given 20 Cod washing
ton. Lincoln and the really strong
characters throughout the history Of
America have been men who were
not ashamed 10 confess faith in God.
and in more recent times we are
told that Marshal Foch, even when
demands upon his time were most
pressing. spent time each day in
prayer.
If China wants 20 acquire great
ness and in the same way if Amer
lea wants 10 retain greatness, it will
be not through science. education
and commerce alone, but the rule
which is just as potent today as Il
waA when written that righteous
ness exalteth a nation and further
more that doom is spelled for the
nation that forgetteth God"
Yours truly.

MT. EVEREST.

Mt. EVEREST
They have not climbed Mt. Everest.
Though men have done their level
best,
They have not reached its snow
capped crest,
But still.
Success shall follow failures train;
They have not reached his high do
main.
But do not think the dream is vain
They will.
Too high his lofty brow is hung.
Too many dangers there are flung
To mock the brave and fright the
young"
They cry.
"Impossibler" the doubters say,
"A thousand pitfalls bar the way.
Men may attempt his peak. but they
VIII die"
once was the far-off northern pole
called an unconquera BILE goal.
But Perry-that intrepid soul
Held fast.

And though a thousand men had

And many a sturdy heart had died.
The pole IS reached" the cables

AT last"
Unconquered stands Mt. Everest.
Untouched by human foot his crest.
But he, shall fall with all the rest.
In time.
Though now. he rules in silence
there,
With man his glory he shall share.
For one shall find the way and dare
To climb.
This Hottest of mountain kings
Shall be another OF the things
The future with her progress brings
To man.
And those who Say ft can't be

Shall some day see the summit won
And ind by bravely keeping on,
Il can.

also understood that the Ku Kluxers
usually sign themselves as such on
all their papers and letters.
However, as these are merely con-

Of the whole business. Perhaps we
can only learn by waiting. That will
be hard, as waiting is one of the
things that we find especially hard

If there be Ku Klux in Iberia,
no doubt they will make their pres

this does not happen, then we will
know, as we are half way inclined to

MORE GOOD PUBLICITY
FOR IBERIA.
Editor and Movie Man
Here Getting Data.

Two visitors of considerable I'M
portance blew into New Iberia Thurs
day evening, and this community is
billed for some more valuable ptlbli-
city us a direct res,lt
Mr.. David II. Levin rston, Special
Feature Story representative for the
Beaumont Enterprise, pad Mr. l. H.
Gammage, Feature Service man for
Fox News Films, are the two m1n
and they have come to LOOK up some
Of the many interesting things to be
found in and around cur city.
Mr.. Levingston carried his camera
along, and expects to get some views
with which to illustrate his stories.
They came to The Iberian Office 10
get suggestions as to the various
points of interest, and among the
places they will visit are Aver IS
land, Jefferson Island, the Boldt Pa
per Mills plant, Ballast Burning
Pits, and the game preserves on Az
cry Island.
Mr.. Gammage comes here on spc-
cial assignment to make some films
for the Fox News Weekly. He is us
ing newly invented light with
which he expects to get some views
of the inside of the shafts of the
salt mines. This light rivals the open

The novelties lying all around New
Iberia are beginning to be known a
bout the entire country, and the peo-
pie are demanding stories and NOV
ing picture films depicting these
things which can be found nowhere
else in the world.
These Fox News Films will be
shown all over the United States,
and no doubt thousands of people
will have their interest awakened in
Louisiana by seeing them Then when
they are planning a tourist trip it is
natural to expect that some Of them
will include this city in their trip.
This publicity, coupled with the dew
elopment of our great tourist high
ways, is certain to turn the tide Of
travel strongly towards the Teche
Country, and if New Iberia gets on
the job and shows an interest in
them, we can reap harvest of tour
ist dollars as a direct result.

BAYOU FRONT is IN
BAD CONDITION.
N. |. & N. Right Of Way
Needs Big Cleaning Up.

The early part Of the week the n
|. d N. railroad side track runuina
along the bayou, near the city bridge
was tied UP for couple Of days du,
to a derailment of the engine an,
tender. The engine was put back OF
the track without much trouble but
the tender had turned over on it.
side, and it was an expensive job t.
get it right side up again.
This track has been for a lone
time in a deplorable condition, ans
derailments have become very com
mon.
The proposition may on the face oi
of it seem to be nobodys business
except that Of the company.
However, when a person takes q
look at the general unkempt condi-
tiGn Of the entire rieht of way alone
the bayou front and stops to consd.
er that this is supposed to be ono OF
the citys show spots, the rights Of
the community begin to show up in
the matter.
One of the first places visitor
makes for on hitting New Iberia Is
the Bayou Teche. Every one has
heard of and read about our beautiful
bayou. 1t is one of our leading
points Of interest.
Anyone who lives across the bayou
must have happened to be on the
bridge when strangers were there to
see the "scene of beauty"
More than once we have heard ex-
pressions of disappointment from
these visitors. Not the bayou itself,
but the surroundings, especially the
badly kept right of way of the N. I
q N. railroad.
A little money spent in cutting
grass and weeds, little more money
spent in removing the accumuations
Of rubbish, and still some more for
ttNtliHg up CIit Iodu Deu anu tHc
rails, and a real transformation
could be made. The company would
no doubt save enough by stopping
the now frequent derailments to COW
er the whole expense of beautifying
the bayou front.
1t is not only safeguard for
them, and a clear business PROPOSE
ton, but they owe it to the city. As
it now is, the bayou front is an eye
sore, and all the more so because it
is place where every visitor to the
city goes to view the scenes.
We may be mistaken, but it is our
opinion that the city has the authori-
