WHAT A PLAY TEACHES.


Traffic." was cancelled in the
local theatre was we'll based, if
the criticism of the Houston
board Of censorship is to be ac-
cepted as competent judgment.
The Houston Chronicle deals with
the matter editorially in the fol-
lowing words:
"The Traffic" is one of those
singularly slllied bits of uni1l-
tdJs.tual effusion which, value
pretending to inculcate morality
by disclosing the grossness Of
immortality, accomphshes its sue
cess of virtue of the hollow
tawdrine and superficial bril-
liancy of vice that it processes to
condemn. / ~
The play is described in adver-
tising literature as "audaciOus"
and, judged by it's texture and
technie, the word is used ad-
visedly. Measured by the stand
ards of art, it is admittedly real
istic and faithful to fault; but,
measured by the standards Of
practical common sense, it is an
unwholesome business.
For obvious reasons it is con-
sidered unnecessary to 60 into
further details concerning the
structure of this particular emul-
sion. Per sc it is Of no great
consequence, but as unit in
great galaxy of undesirable crea-
tions with WHICH the public has
recently been afflicted it is more
,gravely significant.
A certain school of writer's
seem to be committed to the idea
that vice and immortality can best
be fought by realistic portrayal
and exact reproduction; that re-
forms can best be accomplished
through the creation Of disgust,
and that such dramas as "The
Traffic constitute a sort Of an
titoxin which the public needs.
A large portion Of the public
is committed to this idea also,
and the efforts of this school have
met with success which, though
not genuine, was sufficiently re-
munerative to be misleading.
The plays have generally had
good runs wherever they have
been tolerated, and the movement
which they represent appears to
have been gathering weight.
Called by their right designa-
ton, they are merely sensational
excuses for patronage, and thrive
on the same empty glare which it
is their ostensible province to
Exposures Of evil are neces |
sary, but they should be made in |
such way as to rob evil OF Its
every attraction.
The only principles worth while |
are those which teach us not to |
refrain from doing something,
but to do something, not to be
negatively evil but to be posi-
lively good.
The upward movement OF the |
race is an aggressive advance,
not a disorderly retreat. We goI
forward, not be cause we are
afraid of the past or the present,
but because we believe the fu-
ture holds better things in store.
It is the goal ahead, and not the
goal behind, that should be the
guiding star.-L. C. Times.

teachers of Louisiana, which we
publish in this issue. makes q
timely suggestion to the teach.

the parishes and localities should
require to be followed. After
noting the lack Of progress in
schools, Mr.. Harris says he
thinks the teachers should "real-

system Of expecting the children
to do most Of their studying at
home is an injustice to parents
and children, and in many cases
it is a great nuisance, as the chill

WOMAN MORE IMPORTANT.

Indeed, it is more important
for a woman to be good than the
man. Their influence upon the
children is far greater than the
paternal influence. Furthermore
children, as a rule, inherit their
moral qualities much more from
their mothers than from their
fathers. Consequently, for boy
to make good, level-headed,
true-ioving upright citizen, it is
very important for him to have a
good mother.
The better we can make the
mothers of our land, the better
we make our country. The old
Roman mother s influence was
acknowledged as a most potent
one Upon the patriotism of the
people.
Yet our women are not alto
gether angels, though many Of
them are almost. The more an
geAc they may be. however, the,
more will the race Of fhantind'
improve morally. While the fu-
ture destinies of man rest so
largely with the women of the
land, don't forget that it is the
country women-the wives and
daughters of the farmers-to
whom we must look for our tenn
poral solution more than any
other class of women. They are
the moulders of the true repre-
character of the coun-
try more than any other.
But for the constant infusion
Of good, healthy country blood,
our cities would stagnate and die.
It is upon the honest mother
hood Of the rural districs that
The country must depend mainly
FOR the true, sturdy citizenship
that must save us from the an
archical Tenderness and infuen-
snces Of our large centers of :

TONGUE TWISTERs.

All of us are occasionally both
cred by tongue twisters, but the
most amusing instance Of such
confusion occurred when a very
reserved and naughty passenger
on a steamship, who had gained
the ill-will of the other passen-
gers by his exclusiveness, ad-
vanced to "declare" his luggage
to the custom house officers: 81
DESIRE said he pompously, to
declare out of my personal be-
longings two small bugs and a
rug" The delight of the crowd
and the fall Of his pride was in
tense in proportion to his silly ex-
clusiveness.
1t was a presidential candidate
who began his speech from a rail-
road car bv saying that he espec-
tally enjoyed addressing his fel-
low citizens from the "black
PLATFORM
1t was trained nurse who Of
fered to minister to fervent
patient with the kindly words,
"Wouldn't you be more comfort
able if | should crush and bronze
your haid7"
The classic mistake Of this
character is the oft-repeated
speech of the young clergyman
who, repulsed by the somewhat
chilly and reserved bride, re-
marked in his confusion that he
thought it customary to cuse the
bride.
A prominent man once said
that he could never see the title
of a well-known book upon hunt
ing: Sport With Rod and Gun"
without mentally twisting it into
shocking form, "Sport with God
and Run"
At fashionable wedding there
was intense curiosity to see the
rich costumes Of the heiress who
was being led to the altar. There
was much craning Of necks and
at least some Of the over-eager
rose in their seats in the extreme
back Of the church and stood
upon them in an effort to get a
good view.
The clergyman who was in the
chancel ready to conduct the SER
vice was greatly shocked. With
much, dignity, but in haste and
anger, he addressed the congrega-
ton: "In view of the solemnity
of this occasion and the sacred
character Of this edifce, I want
you all to sit on the floor and put
your feet on the seats" But
they knew what he meant and
promptly assumed orderely posi-
tions.-New York Sun.

THE CANE HARVESTER.

After many Disappointment
covering a period Of fifteen years
or more, announcement Is made
from New Orleans, that the Luce
sugar cane harvester, is success.
This conclusion was arrived after
two satisfactory demonstrations
made last week in Audubon Park.
The Luce harvester is q ma
chile that will cut canes, and do
the work Of from forty to fifty
men with cane knives. The Mod
ern Sugar Planter, writing Of the
recent successful test of the har-
vester, says:
"In this weeks tests Of the
Luce harvester it was put into \
wet and muddy field and worked
on 3O-ton ID, "a cane. Furnish-
ing its own motive power with q
40 H. P. engine, and nun by two
men, it went down the cane rows
without . hitch and proved q
revelation to skeptics who had
not thought such performance
could be done altogether by me-
chanical means. It cut the cane
beneath the grounds surface
without nprooting, and in the
hitting movement to overhead
topper it striped the stalks clean
and topped to the satisfaction OF
critical eyes, all Of this accomp-
lished as q continuous process,
and the mill-prepared cane auto
matically dropped through q
chute upon the row.
"While construction deficien-
cies may be found to give some
trouble when the Luce harvester
IS put to work on the plantation,
As will be done this month, the
essentials and correctness of de-
sign have been proven. Hence
II would seem that there is moth
ing to arrest the lang-aWaited
arrival Of the mechanical harvss.

General Orders No. IA.
|, The General Commanding
herewith publishes a copy of res
olutions adopted at the Chatta-
nooga Reunion held May 27-29,
1913:
Whereas, the Government of
the United States collected after
the war between the States about
100000, 900 as direct tax on cot
ton; and
Whereas, the Supreme Court
Of the United States has decided
that said tax was illegally collect
ed, and should be returned to
the payers of said tax On presen-
tation Of the original receipts Civ
en- for said tax; and
Whereas, large proportion of
said receipts has been lost or mis-
laid, and the tax so collected is il
legally in the Treasury of the
United States; and,
Whereas, the Southern States
from which said tax was collected
are burdened in pensioning the
Southern Soldiers and their wild
ows; now, therefore,
Be it Resolved, by the United
Confederate Vetrans in conven-
ton assembled, that the United
States Government be, and it is
hereby, petitioned to return to
the Southern States all of said
direct tax on cotton remaining
in the Treasury Of the United
States, to assist in pensioning the
Southern Soldiers and their wild
ows. ; G2 tssI
Be it further Resolved, that
said tax shall be returned to the
Southern States in proportion to
their annual appropriations for
pensions for soldiers and their
widows; and shall be paid out
under the pension laws now ex-
isting in said Southern States.
The General Commanding has
caused copy Of these resolutions
to be forwarded to every member
Of the House of Representatives
and also to all the Senators.
Those who feel interested in
this matter, and have at heart
the philanthropic purposes for
which these resolutions were
passed, can communicate with
their Representative in Congress,
and suggest such plan as they
may think wise and best under
the circumstances.
II. The General Commanding
urges the newspapers Of the
South, never backward in cham
pioning a worthy cause, to lend
their assistance in giving the wild
est publicly to these resolutions,
and, insofar as they may think
proper, to create sentiment which
may cause this act of justice to
be done by the Government at
Washington. Il
