General Election
Just FormaIitv,

The general election for officers
Of the Town of Thibodaux was
held last Tuesday, according to
law, and as required by law, It
was a mere formality, as there
was but one ticket, a Democratic
ticket, and while there was a
blank space to write names, most
of the voters, being morally and
legally bound by participation in
the party primary, could not in
good grace do other than stamp
the rooster. The officers elected
and to assume their duties within
the next thirty days are as fol-
lows: =
Mayor, N. T. Bourg.
Commissioner Finance, P. L.
Braud;
Commissioner Public property,
Octave J. Toups,
The returns show each candi=
date received 123 votes.

Big Noise Makers
For Real Money.

Again we are reminded that
such talk, offensive talk, as was
handed out by the paid reform
.ers in New Orleans last week III
their swan song in re the dry
laws, is simply what feeds the
fires Of Bolshevism and anarchy
lin this free land Of ours. That
men who make blanket charges
that ten per cent and twenty per
cent Of the judiciary of the Uni
ted States-Federal judges
should be in the peniten-
tiary, would at least in
dicate that they either
know what they say, or are paid
four flushers. If DR.. Baker,
whom we understand left the pull
pit to engage for better pay, in
reforming, knows the per CEN
tage of unfit jurists on the bench,
he perforce knows their names
and location, and to state a per-
without stating names
is unfair 20 the remaining 80 per
cent, and unamerican to say the
least. If these wise ones know
who are unfit let them prefer
charges, and start impeachment
To bawl cut, de-
villify officers for failing
to enforce any one laW-Which
we do not Justify in any officer
one should ae least not refrain
from doing that which he charges
cthers in being recreant in doing.
DR.. Baker can only acquire noto-
ni6ty by such tactics and usuallw
such men crave publicity, even in
-he mean, unfair, and pliahle
press.

Association Held
Good Meeting

On last Tuesday a very interes-
ting meeting Of the local Associa-
ton Of Commerce was held at the
city hall, President Payne pre-
sided. A report had been expected
from the Ways and Means Com
mittee, but this was again delay
ed. A partial report however was
made evidencing the fact
that the financing of the
organization is assured together
with contributions made, to be
made, and the membership fees.
Considerable discussion was had
regarding proposed new roads,
the possibility of locating enter
prises. It was also noticed that
among the many queries that
quite a few evidenced the fact
that Thibodaux and the entire pa
rish of Lafourche had been plac-
ed on the map. The different
committees through their respec-
tive chairmen were handed the
different communications coming
within their province and will
handle the matter through the
secretary, Miss Mathilde Toups.

when you have your tires Re
paired by an expert who is fami-

benefit of years of practical ex-

to you than giving them to a no

practicing with your tires. Tires
are subjected to the roughestt
kind Of use and sometimes abuse,
| therefore they require skillful
treatment in making a perma-

ltained at the hands of a novice.
Remember that shell cuts, glass
cuts, and nail holes quickly leads
a tire to the scrap heap as they
invite the sand oil and water to
come in contact with the fabric
causing the same to rot and the
result is a blowout.
Many a good tire is then discard

treatment you could get

compensate for the investment.

Post Office BIdgs.
Now Urged.

According to press reports this
week, Postmaster General Work
has recommended to Cong 1ss, as
urgent, the building Of govern.
ment post offices wherevc- Eossi-
BILE. He contends that the govern
ment would save in rentals alone
sufficient to warrant the construc
tion of the buildings. Premises
for post offices are being rented
by individuals to the government
at rates sufficient to enable them
to discount their rent notes, at
from seven to ten per cent and
better, In other words the Post
master General is of the opinion
that the Government could bor-
row the money to build and there
by save considerably, rather than
rent
In the face of this condition and
recommendation, it would appear
that the long standing apprepria-
tion for the local post Office
might be opportunely added to at
this time. Again the lot having
been purchased for nearly four
years, and the local office being
under rent, it would seem to
be the time to urge action.
Again it would be another incen-
tive-in employing people to in-
auee, coax, or intimidate business
to turn that corner around which
it has been hanging and threaten
ing to turn for several years,
