true love may not always run smooth,
but there are . straightforwardness
and dynamic force about the demon
strations Of affection between the
hero and heroine that are primitive
and, Of course, admirable.
But in all things there should be
moderation. The rule should apply
to love-making in melodrama. The
heroine should not throw her $50
pounds Of curry plumpness into the
air and allow it to some down upon
the hero, under the laws Of love and
graVitation, with such force as TO
burst the hero's blood vessels and
put him into the clammy embraces
of an untimely grave. Il should be
borne in mind by buxom heroines
that heroes are often elderly men
who have not led the sort of lives
that are recommended for general
adoption by the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. A sudden strain
may play the deuce with an artery
or some other important part of the
anatomy.
The melodrama heroine should app
proach the hero walking-or running.
if need be, but not forgetting to put
on the brakes before coming into
collision with the chest of her hearts
idol-and never obIiquely through
the air from above the stage, or in
the direction of a down curve.
The amusement field is rapidly
growing. There are hardly enough
actors to flI the theatres now built.
The sound Of The hammer is heard
daily in the columns Of the theatrical
press where each Of the syndicates is
pounding the other for building more
theatres. We cannot afford to lose
our leading men through the super
strenuous methods Of the husky melo-
drama heroine. II the dangers Of
playing opposite them are not re-
duced without coercion the law must
take a hand.

Men, But the Exposition.

little Exposition held: away back in
1884, there can be no doubt; for
Mr.. Cary has said that the news that
the Cotton Exposition was to be held.
in New Orleans decided him to favor
Louisiana after he had made up his
mind to locate in Texas. These
things being conceded, it is impos-
for the candid reader to reach any
conclusion, save that the effect of a
great Exposition held at a time when
the resources of the South are
already beginning to attract wide at
tention, will accomplish much greater
results than were those that flowed
from the little exposition held il
New Orleans twenty-six years ago.
That being true, what then be-
comes the obvious duty of every
citizen-a duty imposed alike by con-
s~ideration of patriotism and self in
~terest? Manifestly, it is to give
hearty support to the Exposition
amendments. This is not a political
question; it is bigger than any poll
~tician, bigger than any candidate, or
than all the political candidates put
together. It is a measure in the in
terest of the whole people, because it
means everything to Louisiana just
at this iu%ncture. Should We fail to
land this prize by reason Of our own
lack Of concord or public spirit, that
failure would be one Of the worst
blows that could possibly befalI the
people Of Louisiana. It should make
no difference whether one IS d Demo-
crat or a Republican, a Regular or a
Reformer; the Exposition will help
all, and make the State come to the
front in a manner to fIl with pride
the heart of every true Louisianian.
Let US for the time being overlook
politics and join hands in putting this
Exposition project through, and ii
showing to the world what Louisiana
can do in the way Of pulling off an
J enterprise Of the first magnitude.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1910-09-17

To the rejecting citizens Of Louis
lana it must be quite apparent that
the biggest subject before the peo-
pie Of the State to-day is the pro-
posed Panama Exposition. If the
man who can make two blades
Of grass grow where only noe grew
before is a public benefaetor, what
shall BIO said of an enterprise that
proposes to build new homes, and to
establish colonies on lands that have
never yet grown a single blade of
grass? And yet, that is what the
Exposition will do with the eight
millions Of acres of vet meadow lands
that have produced principally mosqui-
toes and bull-frogs.
There are those who will challenge
this assertion aud demand the pres
entation Of proof in support Of its
correctness. While it is impossible,
Of course. to prove that any p%articu-
lar thing is going, in the fut ure, TO
bring about a particular result, yet
maj as a rational being has discover
Cd that like causes generally pro-
duce like results, the conditions in
each case being similar. Applying
that rule we find that the cotton Cen
tennial Exposition held in New Or
leans in 1884, which was an infant
compared to the proposed Panama
Exposition, gave the inspiration to
Cary, Watkins and a host of others
which resulted in the development Of
the rice and lumber industries to
their present enormous proportions.
1t brought the great yellow pine
forests which abound throughout
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama,
to the attention Of the Capitalist,
thereby bringing Louisiana to the
second place among the lumber pro-
ducing States Of this Union.
That the great impetus given TO
these and other important industries
finds its origin and inspiration in the

MELLOW DRAMMER"
Tragedies Fatal Result Of Heroine Throws
Ing Der l6O Pounds Of Curry p~lunpBsss
lntO The Alr. to Come Down Into the
Arms OF the hero.

A special dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Press from Harrisburg shows
that mellow drammer" hath its
tragedies no less regrettable than
those Of football.
We quote:
James A. Sullivan, a young actor
Id a play which has been touring the
western part Of the State, died here
to-day from a singular injury. He
broke a blood vessel while engaged
in a scene with the leading lady Of
the show.
The woman was to fall into his
arms and the shock was too great
for him."
In melodrama the actors and ac-
tresses must needs be strenuous in
p~ortraying both good and evil pas
sions. The villain must not show q
single spark Of humanity. He must
be villainous during every vanishing
second Of every waking hour. At
night he must dream of soul.satisfy-
ing murder and Of profitable perjury
or Of arson for revenge. When he
is not plotting something fendish he
must be perpetrating a dastardly
crime. There are no shadings Of
character in melodrama. The good
are very, very good. The bad are
horrid. They are just as fond of
being horrid as the good are Of being
good. And those who are in love,
like the villainous person who is bent
upon %villainy and the v%irtuous who
are hipped upon virtue, must display
d singleness Of purpose and vim in
the pursuit Of life's main chance. A
poet has set It down that mans love
is of mans life a thing apart, but
that it Is womaa's whole existence.
Not So in m~elodrama. II is his one
interest in life. Defrauded Of bis

You Pay the
Freight

If, when you insure your life, you do
not look at the contracts of but one
company or hear the statements OF
but one agent, you cannot be sure that
you are insuring in company that is
certain to give you or your benehclarleS
square deal under any and all cir
cumstances. Each agent who IS thor
oughly equipped should be in position
to give you q correct answer to any
question you may ask relative to the
rates, policy conditions and record of
each company, but the trouble is that
the average individual does not know
what questions to ask in order to bring
out the information Of most vital i'm
portance to himself. Each honest
agent firmly believes that he is repre-
senting the best company and selling
the best policy, but very few of them
are able to give convincing reasons
for their faith, and depend on persuad-
ing you to insure with them without
looking elsewhere. 1t is generally
conceded fact that when considered
from every viewpoint no company in
business guarantees its policy holders
as many privileges as does the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Co., OF Newark.
and that no company comes as near
winning in all cases where there IS
honorable competition. Always bear
in mind that when you buy life insur-
ance you are the man who will pay the
freiqht, and that in life insurance there
is necessarily a BEST and that it is
a duty you owe yourself to try TO de-
eide which one it is. Look before you
leap, but do not put off either too long,
as many people whom you have known
have done.

from Captain Feeder when the ST.
IBERIA arrived from Yokohama, DR..
Ramus, chief doctor of the U. S. Qua

up with the officials in Washington;
and there is likely to be some trouble
coming for the captain of the ship
who claimed that the lee was perfect
ly satisfactory from seaman's stand
point.
When the Customs launch went out
to meet the ship, DR.. Sinclair refused
to board until either the captain or
pilot gave hi ma lee, the result being
that nearly two hoNrs were wasted in
getting aboard.

MURDERER SENTENCED
TO Be HANGED ON A
LOCALIZED HOLIDAY

John Wynne, the man who brutally
murdered Officer McKinnon of the
oil steamship Rosecrans in this port
several years ago, and who has been
in Jail ever since, was this morning
before U. S. Judge Robertson to be
resentenced.
He was to have been hanged some
time ago, but the Sailors Union and
other institutions and individuals in
terested themselves to stay execution,
with the result that the slayer of his
shipmate, while the perpetrator of the
foul deed was in a beastly state of
intoxication, has at the same time
had the agony prolonged, and hope
drawn out.
Wynne doesn't know whether he is
to live or die. He processes to have
been so drunk at the time of the
murder that he doesn't know what ne
did or how he did it. He had come
ashore, in state of usfriendliness
against his victim, had gotten tank
ed up" and had returned to the ship
lying at the Eva end of the harbor, to
seek and procure a heavy hammer

= DR.. Sinclair after he had boarded
the ship on the port side by jacobs
ladder, told Captain Feeder that if he
did not give lee so that the quaran-
tine nurse could board the ship he
would send in for DR.. Ramus.
After another hours wait, DR.. Ramus
arrived and the ship was maneuvered
so that Miss Smith could get aboard.
From what can be learned from the
proper onlcials, every captain COM
ing into Honolulu has been ordered to
give the doctors a proper lee before
they will board tie ships, and the
reason for the long delay on Friday
was Feeders refusal to comply with
the regulations.
