organization. II any one selected forty
men most likely to support the admin |
istration. these would be the men. OF
course. they are not for La Toilette.
They are the very nucleus of the old
machine.
The significant thing is that they
are not for Taft. More significant isl
the demand for primaries, which our
fight The fact that the La Toilette
primaries demand has gone into the
committee and has been the very
means of breaking the Taft support
is sufficient satisfaction for us at any
time
With new fight on between Post
master General Hitchcock and Secre-
terry IIilles, in the face of the general
situation in the committee, the Taft
men were confronted with the most
serious crisis of the presidents cam
paign for denomination.
Both the Taft and La Toilette men
sought to discount the Roosevelt
boom but those who shouted for the
colonel succeeded in making a great
deal of noise and arousing much en-
| thusiasm.

"RecIprocityr Night at the Monday
Music Club

Some fifteen miles away from US,
on the other side of the river, lies
the town of Carthage. 1t is a town
with a college working towards the
University standards. and having with
in it's borders many interesting peo-
pie. We have already realized what
it can do in music, for Mr.. Ralph
Lawton has several times played for
his friends in Keokuk
The concert given last night at the
". NJ. c. A. by Misses Davidson and
Koch was further proof of its ability
in musical direction, and from first
to last, was great success.
The program was we'll chosen and
carefully gi~en throughout. AS the
evening progressed, Miss Koch played
with more freedom-and in D'aihert's
Gavotte, and McDowells Polonaise,
was especially good.
1t is no iigh. thing to give as diff
all from memory. 1t tells of Ions,
faithful, patient hours of work full Of
hope and aspiration, and determination
to excel 1t cannot all be done at once.
Time is CT the essence of the contract
with music as with everything else.
and in the keeping at it lies the secret
of success.
With the voice. not so much time
but, possibly, more natural gift seems
necessary. Miss Davidson's groups OF
songs We're also well chosen and
beautifully sung. Her voice showed
it's dramatic quality in Schubert's
Maiden and Death, and the pianissimc
OF her high tones was very good The
i group of Indian songs was in agree
able contrast to the more melodN
numbers CT the European composers
While her. gracious personality quite
won the hearts CT her audience. AL
together, We should like nothing bet
: ter than to have them come again
and we wish them all success and hap
piness wherever they may be-

A SAN FRANCIsCo CARNIVAL.

Said the San Francisco Chron-
icle, of January 3. New Or
leans is said to be making special
y elaborate preparations for its
Mardi Gras carnival with tho
idea, doubtless, Of showing that
it is festival city worthy Of the
Panma Canal celebration. In
San Francisco we have been hav-
ing carnivals every week or two
and haven't bothered to tell out
siders about it, either"
That seems to be the truth for
once, but the proper name for
these San Francisco "carnivals"
is "earthuakes," and it is easily
understood why the papers there
haven't bothered to tell outsiders
about them.
But the New Orleans carnival
il very different sort Of thing.
Not only do we take every oppor-
tunity to tell the people elsewhere
about IT, but we want them to
come and enjoy it. A San Fran
cisco carnival" that eliminates
at 4 O'Clock in the morning,
shakes the houses to their foun-
dations and so heaveslup tho
floors as to throw tho sleepers
from their beds and fill them with
fright and nausea, is necessarily
something about which the local
newspapers are rs quiet as the
grave and which the residents only
speak of in whispers. Every Wis
ltor who has ever encountered a
San Francisco carnival" Of the
earthquake variety prays to be
delivered from them for the rest
Of his or her life.-Pic.

FURNISHING THE WRONG
PARTY.

The system of dealing with
criminals in Louisiana is so cost
ly. so cumbersome and so antiq-
uated that one might almost be-
lieve that the object of the sys-
tenn is TO punish the tax payer in
stead of the lawbreaker. For
1911. the police jury has approp-
rated $4,000 for criminal ex-
penses. and the taxpayers will be
lucky if that amount covers the
expense. Add TO this the COM
pensation of the judge and dis
Er'ict attorpey, the justices and
consiables and other expenses
and criminals will cost a dollar
for every man, woman and child
in Calcasieu.-Lake0 Charles
