UNWEPT, UNHONORED AND UNSUNG
'"Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
S This is my own, my native land
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned
As home his footsteps he hath turned.'
In an editorial last Saturday, the Clarion made a strong
a geaI to the "Civic pride" of the town in the cause of
pg.igres-our progress, the forward march of Opelou
Nlo man, rich or poor, can live ii two cities at the same,
~.ne. Only one town can be "his own." That town then
is 'his world" and that world will be always what he:
makes it. Did you ever read that splendid book by Ed
ward Hale: "The Man Without a Country." Every page
is an inspiration to you, to do something to make "your
world," your town a little better at the setting of every
j Id. "
Great cities have not been built by selfish men. We
would have no glorious United States today if everybody
had been Tories in those days which tried men's souls,
..; before the winning of independence.
.Some of our reprsentative citizens will say we-cannot
'd-this and -we cannot do that, we aemnot take a lesson
from Lake Charles, or that we cannot take a lesson from
Lafayette, because of this and that. There is one thing
sure and that is that there is no PROGRESS where there
are pessimists of this nature, and there would not have
been railroads, steamships, telephones, electric lights, an
' mobiles and thousands of the more modern inventions,
all had waited for "George' to do it.
The citizen who is too stingy to spend a cent or sose
of his energies for his community's progress is as despic
ale as the slacker who refuses to fight for his country
-s the time of need. We refuse to believe that Opelousas
cannot do what' Lafayette or Lake Charles is doing-we
annot think, that Opelousas is satisfied to remain in a
mnt for ever. Is 'there any one in our community whose
rast does not pulse with civic pride?
* ' f such there breathe, go, mark him well
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
S"High though his titles, proud his name
Smundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite these titles, power and pelf
The wretch, concentered all in self.
i" ing, shall forfeit fair renown
, And" doubtly dying shall go down
'To the vile dust from whence he sprang
S~i rnwept, Unhonord and Unsung.'

t;ST. CHARLES COLLEGE TEAM
PLAYS IA, STATE NORMAL
Cran Cd otea, IA., Nov. 16.-In a
'bitterly contheted struggle, marked
,by flashes of individual brilliancy, Sty'
charles College of Ohtnd Cteauea'nd
Louisiana state Normal 'fought
sixty minutes of play without a score,
at Natchitoches on Armistice 7a)y.
'Normal won the toss and elected
to receive. Crowley kicked off for
St. Charles into the face of a light
_wilnu, and Ktlpen for Normal was
downed on his thirty-yard mark. After
a series of line plunges. Normal punt
.ed to Harrington at St. Ctharles'
thirty yard mark. Smith' and Brose
sari made first down for the Slants
on two successive plunges, and on the,
very next gpay Crowley dashed around
right end for fifty-five yards, placing
the ball on Notmal's four yard line.
A touchdown seemed inevitable, but
the bull dog tenacity, which pervaded
Normals play throughout the game,
1was very much in evidence at this
Scrdtical moment. As a result of this
dogged determination, the teachers
took possession of the ball a scant
six inches froms her owBn oal line.

for downs, and Crowley kicked outa

and Broussard's vicious line plunging
advance the bill, together with Saith
