Reform School

If there is one thing needed in
Louisiana besides the peniten-
tiary and the jails it is the Re
form School. The Legislature
has provided for such an institu.
ton with its location at Monroe,
but owing to the shOrtness OF
funds this enterprise has Jagged.
On his visit TO Monroe recently
Governor Sanders inspected the
States building and realized the
necessity of action without wait
ing on the appropriation by the
next Legislature. 1t has been
agreed that the money necessary
to complete and equip the Reform
School shall be borrowed. This
is in keeping with a business
! principle. The Reform School
is designed for the class of youth

WOmen'S Chance for Real Voting.

The rottenness there is no 9th. |
er world of many of the shows"
on the American stage today,
particularly in New York City,
affords an opportunity for the
women of America to cast effect
i've votes, in fact decisive votes,
on one great moral question with
out waiting for permission from
the Legislative halls of men.
1t is the women to-day who
make the success of the indiyidu-
al theater and the individual play.
If any doubt as to that exists in
any ones mind, witness the at
tendance of these very theaters
when immoral plays are running.
Out of six such in New York, in
spected by the Delineator, not
one but showed an attendance OF
from one.third to one.half of wO
men. And as these women In
the great majority were escorted
there as the guests of the men
either their wives, sweethearts
or friends, it stands to reason
that the men would accept thu
dictate of the woman as to wha
play she would wish to see.
We repeat what Mr.. Charles
lBurnham, president OF the AS
ISOLATION of Theater Managers
says, mo play can exist that i
not patronized by women" an
we add to it: No play can exls
THAT is not patronized by goo

MiseegenatiOn IN the South

are always launched, possess a charm
to be found in no other form of thea

thing else in this progressive age
Stetson's "Uncle Tom" has improved

fresh novelties, new features, pleas.

and complete organization as the

Next Sunday evening the specia

Mr.. Murphy played "The Kerry
Cow" for % consecutive years and
saw in Mr.. Cunningham a worthy
successor.
THE Kerry Cow enjoys two dis
tinctions. 1t is the only play ever
produced in this country which has
worn out its 2S years Of copyright in
continuous service; and it has been
stolen bodily and in part more times
than any other production ever
staged.
It is question of which claim
Joseph Murphy is most proud.
The story Of "The Kerry Cow"
which means "The Village Black
smith" is founded on fact, and tells
of Dan O'Hara, the smith, in love
with Nora Drew, who has another
suitor, Valentine Hay. As it is a
crime in Ireland at the time the play
is written. punishable by transporta-
tion or death, to have pixies or for
weapons in ones possession,
Hay causes several TO be hidden in
the blaeksmith's shop. They are dis.
covered there and Dan is arrested,
but escapes from prison Just at the
same time as the real maker Of the
pixies processes on his death-bed to
the conspiracy against O'Hara.
Dan returned to the forge and
shoes the horse which saves his
iweetheart's home by winning
