con' The SENTINEL having expresse
offil the opinion that the press of th
Parish was "enlightened, disintesrcte
'and patriotic" enough to inculcate
sthe pirit of amity and peace among th
mas- peop!e with a view of developing th
wonderful resources of the parisl
and furthering its material interests
evee the Eagle thus retorted:
this "An example of this disinterested
and ness is found in the following takes
from the Comet of April 4, 1901
"The people of Thiboldaux are glar
the to see Lockport make progress, fol
this naturally tends to develop tbh
entire prish and Tuns TmiROmPAU"
of INDIREcTLY A BENEFICIARY." So
a man might say of his hog, fatteniny
in the pen, "I am glad you are doein
illan so nicely, for thus I am 'indirectly a
Co. benefciary.'
ilkd Truly, the comparison is one while
ith rs. Partington might most appro
priately have characterizetd "odorous;'
it is so suggestive of disagreeabl
api. odors. The comparison is not onl3
not very elevated but it is rot even a
d in just one. There is no similarity ol
relation between the objects com
pared.
Taking the excerpt from the Comei
ard as given, without reference to the
rich context, which might change the
meaning, and viewing it by itself
there is nothing in the thought sug
ew gestive of "down right Yankee bus
iness," as the Eagle terms it.
Thibodaux and Lockport, just as
ove. Bowie and Raceland, are parts of the
)00, pariah of Lafourche; members of the
for same community; so that, it is im,
possible for any of them to "make
progress" without it naturally tend
ing to develop the entire parish, and
the all the others becoming indirectly
and beneficiaries of such development.
Luc As members of the same community,
rder they are in a measure interdependent
)urt just as the members of the body are;
and if it be self interest for one 0o
the them to say to the other: "I am
guis. glad that you make progress and
liss improve, for it naturally tends to
dria develop the parish, and I am thereby
the indirectly benefited, it is like unto the
erif interest of the right hand that would
ish, address the same discourse to the
Roy left hand, or to some other member
ittle of the body. The community of
interests is such that the interest of
pan- the one is bound with that of the
ext other and what helps one indirectly
awn aids the other.
ugh As the Comet says, the people of
igar
Lble Thibodaux are glad to see the people
was of Lockport, and of Bowie, and of
The Itaceland, and of all parts of the
lap. parish, make progress and prosper,
and for it naturally tends to develop the
wl!l entire pariah, and all are iudire,.t'y
aeir beneficiaries, Thibodaux included;
say just as the people of Lockport and
of other towns are glad, or ought to te,
am to see Thabodaux "make 'progress"
Ril and improve, as that also naturally
em, tetnds to develop the entire parish,
a of and all are ag:ain beneficia-ies, Lock.
U. port included.
Thus the "interest" which the
ter Eagle characterizes as "down right
er Yankee business" is not -o much self
interest as it is mutual; and mutuall
k ty of interest, when the end in vi-w
ias proper and laudable, as it is in
ye this case, is not incompatible with
ey disinterestedness and patriotism.
