The theatrical season for this
town opened last Friday night
with the Girl of the U. S. A., a
drama interspersed within usical
selections, full of comedy and wit,
shat was appreciated by rather
fair house, although much smaller
than had been anticipated for an
opening night. There were how
ever several local happenings
that tended to redu the atten-
dance.
Last Sunday night the Casino
Girls presented Smiling Island
which was reported to be a good
and pleasing show, not having
seen the same we are not in po
sition to comment one way or the
other regarding the same.
Monday night the house open

prevailed, it is safe TO assume
that pretty fair business should
be done. The fact that the grin
ding season is bout opening, and
has opened in many places will
tend to detract from the atten-
dance that would have obtained
at another time.

According to all dispatches from
Washington D. G. Louisiana is re-
presented in the United States Sem
ate by Senator Foster, and by Sena
tor Jared Y. Sanders of Baton
Rouge, La, whose term expires
March 3rd. 1915, Many of course
were under the impression that
Governor Sanders had really ap-
pointed Judge Thornton OF Rapides
to fill his Chair, but beyond rumors
and statements there seems to be
nothing official to indicate that
the contemplated appointment was
ever serious and commission, as
yet, has not been issued, nor has
any official notification of the same
ever been forwarded to Washing
ton.
The truth of the matter is, it is
very doubtful, whether Governor
Sanders has ever relinquished his
full right to the position to which
he was elected in the Senate,
which position he accepted, as is
already known, and which he after
wards ostensibly resigned at the
solicitation of his friends at the in
of himself, but through
his political friends in guise of the
Committee for effect.
Many felt that Sanders was needed
to carry the tax at the polls, by
using the big stick or Governors
influence, and after the tax is car
ried its J. Y.'s baggage for Washing
ton, you bet. What will he do /?
He goes to Washington, whether
the amendments carry or not, after
Sth, or a short while |
thereafter. Desk clearing will be-
gin in earnest on November 9Th, |

the December session of the Nation

From associated dispatches in
the newspapers last week it was
mentioned that Justice Edward
Douglas White of Louisiana, a
native of Lafourche. and still
owning the White Plantation in
this parish was being prominent
ly mentioned as Chief Justice of
the UnitedS ates Supreme Court.
1t rs useless to say that thenews
was received here with no little
Joy, as all have watched with no
little pride the continual pro-
gress of Lafourche's son and Cit
zen.
That the honored gentleman
could fill the position with credit
to himself, to the nation and to
his people goes without saying
as he is eminently qualified by
learning, experience and charac-
ter and were the mantle placed
on bis shoulders he would carry
it with all the dignity, honor, alb
ility Ind character with which
any dividual appointed for the
higli ost could carry it.
Jh re is a proba bility however

honor upon one OF bis own party,

or not there is mach satisfaction
and honor in the fact that he is
one of the few being mentioned
