that several measures to be present
ed to the Legislature were framed
and adopted and Immediately for
warded to the headquarters of the
Antisaloon League for approval, af-
ter which they will be disclosed to
the citizens Of the state. A great
deal Of attention was given to the
discussion Of recent circulars issued
by the Business Mems League Of
with the view, as the anti
saloon workers declare, Of opposing
legislation threatening the saloon
interests. In a letter a challenge to
this league was issued by the Anti
Association, marking the real
opening Of the campaign for state
vide prohibition, This letter begins
as follows:

ARTICLE.
Says the Star Editor Is Con.
troIIed by Political Bosses,
and Goes Into Past History

Opelousas, La, March IA, 1910.
Editor Eunice Gall:
An editorial appearing in the Eu-
nice Star Of March II, says, among
other things, that:
I'VE understand that Governor
Laurent Dossmann did wend his way
to the Vile Platte vicinity, gathered
up a bunch Of citizens-late Pavyites
carried them to Baton Rouge, and
they returned shouting for Hon.
Dossmann's ~favorite, Mr.. Sandoz. It
also makes plain the necessity for
giving this Big Chief and Good Shep-
herd a lesson that will most effect
uallF teach him that he does not
carry western St. Landry in his vest
pocket, and we would not be sur
prised if the 18th does not reveal this
fact to him in such a manner as to
cause him to look back upon that day
with such reflections as only an 0ys-
teF Commission President can enter
tain,s
Now, Mr.. Editor, this gratuitous
diatribe would have passed unnoticed
by me, if it were not so unwarranted.
am not a candidate for office, am
guilty Of no W%rong-doing. and ahso-
lutely guiltless Of the charges made
In this article,
II bears the earmarks of previous
grievances-not on the part of the
editor Of the Star, because he is IN
acquainted with conditions here, hav-
ing been recently imported from Red
boneville"-but on the part Of his
political bosses.
No man or set Of men carry West
st. Landry Tor rather Evangeline) in
their vest pockets. | learned this
long ago, and have profted by the
experience Of others.
I learned this when the OxCart-
BerWick-LeWis Anti-Division Manipu-
lators Co, Ltd, attempted to defeat
division. Although they shouted in
Baton Rouge that they would defeat
division, and acted as if they thought
they carried West st. Landry in their
vest pockets, on election dav they
mustered only % votes against divi-
sion at Ennice.
These same manipulators again met
their Waterloo when they attempted
to seat their fayorite one, Judge E.
7. Lewis, in the Judgeship chair.
If lessons" count for anything, it
would seem that those would-be Big
Chiefs have been up against them a
sufficient number of times to know
whereof they speak, though they are
not Oyster Commission Presidents.
| did not know that I was a Big
Chief until, not many moons ago, I
was presented with a loving cup, in
which some of the very same manipu-
lators participated; and | was told
then what a "Heep Big Chief | was;
and my services were soon after

days offers any encouragement, ar
engagements viii be made for ski

auspices of the Calumet ski club. ON
the Florida hin. next Sunday after
noon. A light fall of snow would pro-
vide almost ideal ski conditions, and
would enable the members of the club
to conduct the tournament which was
planned for last Sunday afternoon, but
which was postponed because of the
high wind which prevailed. With this
tournament successfully conducted, the
club will close its work for the year.

Sunday A light fall of snow would
make it possible for the hill to be plac-
ed in good condition and some good
sport should be witnessed.
The members of the club are plan
ming improvements to be made on the
ski hill during the summer months
which will make it one of the best i'm
the country. The trestle will prob
ably be heightened, and made more
permanent.
The local ski jumpers are becom-
ing very proficient i'm the sport and il
is thought that If the hill could pc
improved, the records made in this
section would compare very favorably
with those Of other districts. Although
the club has been in existence only
two years the members have taken
much interest in the sport and have
developed with rapid strides.

UNIQUE MUSICAL PROGRAM
TO BE GIVEN ON APRIL I
Last Number on Y. M. c. A. Lyoeum
Course to Be Given at Calumet
Theater by Eight vassar Girls
We'll Trained Company.

The Vassar Girls will be the next
and last attraction of the lyceum
course under the auspices OF the v
NJ. c. A. The company will be at the
Calumet theater on the evening of
April Z. and very enjoyable pro-
gram win be rendered
The program includes a sextette OF
saxaphones. a septette OF brass in
struments, comets, and trombones, a
flutes, clarinets. oboe and bassoons. a
Quartette OF clarinets. corresponding
to tenor, soprano. alto and bass OF the
human voice a quartette OF wood in
struments flute, clarinet. oboe and
bassoon. The vocal soloist is Miss
Olive Greatrex.
This company is the outgrowth OF
AN ideal. About ten years ago a
gentleman OF some means and liberal
inclination conceived the idea of edu-
eating a double quartette of girls for
high class concert work. With ample
means and not impatient of time, he
selected from the wide circle of his
acquaintance eight girls of superior
character and musical ability and fur
nished them means to complete their
literary and musical education, guild
ing the latter in the direction of their
contemplated work.
The selection of the personnel of
company five years in advance of their
first engagement, is something unique
i'm the history of company organization
and gives the Vassar Girls a distinc-
ton enjoyed by no other. After these
years of schooling and special pre-
paration. the eight original girls APP
peared in concert in an eastern city
and their success was instantaneous
and eminently justified the time. ex-
pense and work required to perfect
their musical education, make solo ar
lists OF each individual and make
them unit in their ensemble work.
For five years, this company Of
educated, cultured and refined young
women has honored its name. the
Eight Vassar Girls. I'm n high class
musical event in the best advanced
vaudeville i'm the leading cities of the
United states and has demonstrated
as have many of the great artists of
the world. that a good, clean musical
event of superior quality, free from
any suspicion of coarseness or
cheapness wins appreciation and APP
plause on its merits everywhere. So
great has been their success that
all of their time for FIVE
years has been consumed in return
date work i'm twenty or thirty cities
through which they made their first
tour, such as New York, Philadelphia, !
Buffalo, Pittsburg. Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, Chicago, Minneapolis. st. |
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver
and San Francisco, where ever-in-
audiences have greeted |
them.

FINE SHOW TONIGHT.
The Time, the Place and the Girl" to
Be Presented Here.

The Duluth Evening Herald OF Tues
day had the following mention of
The Time, the Place and the Girl,
the big musical comedy attraction that
viii be on view at the Calumet thea
ter tonight;
The Lyceum is a good place. and
now is a good time TO take girl. for
! The Time the Place and the Girl
is n very entertaining and clever show
filled with an original line of humor.
that scintillates at times. and plenty
OF action and music. Added To the We
hicle is the fact that the people In
the cast are clever enough TO make
the most of clever lines.
Like most of the Adams and Hough
shows, the present play has a plot In
that ii is something on the fashion
set by George NJ. Cohan, who intro
duced musical comedies with plots.
1.-The Time. the Place and the Girl
has to do with the winning of a stub
born Miss and there are necessarily
many ramifications to such an accom-
pishment.
Fred Mace is funny which is say
ing enough. and as he has some clever
lines, he made a big hit with yester-
days audiences. He maintains the
pace through the three acts, never
falling off for a moment.
Elizabeth Goodall has the part of
the Red Cross nurse. the lady who
is destined to get a cupid hammer loci;
on the Happy Johnny Hicks person.
After seeing Miss Goodall go through
the part, you do not wonder that she
clamps a half-nelson on the affec-
tons Of the gay handler of the paste
boards. Miss Goodall is charming and
her acting is natural and unaffected.
The girl in the case, the one who
refused TO the last to scrub the veran-
da steps. Miss Florence V. Smith, has
a very pretty voice and appears to
good advantage in the part that of
girl with a will that must be handled
with care, as is often the case with
small creatures.
Miss Smith has several songs and
she sings very well. She looks and
acts the part, which helps consider
ably.
The scenery of The Time, the
Place and the Gorr is pretty, the mu-
sic is good and the chorus well drilled
The show has not lost anything by its
age and furnished very good even
ing's entertainment"

number of musicians than has pre-
viously been assembled in one city for
any occasion whatsoever I'm the worlds
history.
"'The performances of this multi
tude of distinguished bands will be
fun of color and dramatic accentua-
ton. characteristic of all Elks' gath
erings. True. the Offering Of these
musicians will not be a symphony pa
thetique, but it will be something
fully as enhancing to the ears of all
musical lovers-it will be in the ma
ture of a symphony purplesque."
Among the bands which have al
ready been engaged to accompany

try.

FALSE PRETENSES.

Mrs. Jones-These tradespeople are
so unreliable in their representations.
You cannot place any dependence i'm
their advertisements at all.
Mrs. Brown-Poor dear! What's
the matter now?
Mrs. Jones-Why, when we bought
our automobile we paid an extra sum
to have one of Mr.. Valentines shock
absorbers attached to the axles.
Mrs. Brown-And didn't il work?
Mrs. Jones-Did il work? Why.
when Mr.. Jones was out alone the
other day the machine slid over a 20
foot embankment and turned turtle.
Poor dear Mr.. Jones was shocked
terribly. Mr.. Valentines attachment
