"The Confession" Coming.

tsThe Confession, which was SO
favorably received upon the occasion
of it's presentation in this city last
season, viii be the attraction at the
Grand Theatre tomorrow night, and
from the degree of interest manifest
ed by local play-goers in the coming
of the noted Catholic drama, it seems
the production will repeat its signal
success of last year and be greeted
by an audience equally as large.
This beautiful play comes to Don
aldsonville direct from a successful
weeks engagement at the Crescent
Theatre in New Orleans, and will be
presented by an exceptionallly capa-
BILE and Well-balanced company, head
ed by Richard Sterling and Miss
Jane Cakes, whose interpretations OF
the leading roles have evoked much
favorable comment.
In review of the opening per
Torrance of 1.-THE Confession" in
New Orleans, the Pieayune of the
goth inst. says:
The Confession attracted a
packed house at. the Crescent Theatre
last night, and the drama, around
which centers the sacredness of the
sacramento seal of confession in the
Catholic church, met with the same
reverential hearing as OF it's previous
visit.
The Confession is one of the few
productions on the stage that has
the unqualified Endorsement of Car
dinal Gibbons and other dignitaries
of the church, even those outside ths
CATHOLIC religion. while of course the
former appreciate more fully its
deepest meaning.
Favorable comment was heard
concerning the careful presentation O.
the character of Father Bartlett by
Richard Sterling, who has made an
enyiable record in his acting of this
crying role.
Equally strong and in a measure
more effective was the ifelike pic.
ture of a French Canadian of the
fisherman's type given by BoWd M,
! Turner, who deserves the highest
commentator.
The rest of VINE male characters
| were in last seasons cast and re
peated the excellent impression
made at that time. Miss Margaret
Desmond, as the wife of the man
| Wrongfully accused, did well IN q
very trying emotional role. Miss
Jane Cakes got the full measure OF
success out of the part assigned tc
her -

THE TIME, THE PLACE AND THE
NAN.

A meeting Of the stockholders Of
the South Louisiana Fair Assocla-
ton is to be held tomorrow for the
purpose Of gelecting officers and di-
Irectors for 3 coming year, ard
The Chief takes the liberty OF sug-
gesting that Prof. r. S. Vickers
should by all means be chosen to
manage next years fair.
The success of the association
first effort points with certainty to
Ia bigger, better and far more success
ful tar in 1914, and nothing will more
surely create public confidence in
the realization of this forecast than
the announcement that Prof. Vickers
| is To- be the directing head of the
enterprise.
It will offend no one else con-
neeted with this months fair, we are
tquite convinced, to say that to Prof.
Vickers is due the lions share" OF
lcredit for the gratifying outcome OF
that enterprise He was ION the
job continually, working hard enough
TO endanger his health, and eVincing
| a neyer-failing spirit of optimism
that proved infectious and con.
tagious, affecting all with whom he
came in contact. A better spirit OF
cooperation was manifested in con.
nectlon with this fair than has been
exhibited in Donaldsonyille for many
/ a day. Everybody gave the best that
was in them, but Prot. Vickers was
the organizer and leader, and the
harmony and unity of effort that
marked the movement were brought
about largely by his tact and diplo-
macy.
He has played no favorites, y sid
ed with no particular faction, cult
waited no leaders or otherwise dis
played partiality. He has simply
boosted earnestly and constantly
and has succeeded in inducing many
of our hitherto lethargic citizens to
do likewise.
His invaluable services should be
retained by. the fair association, no
matter what concessions or consider
atoms may be necessary to that end.

invoke THE GOVERNORS AID.

Among the resolutions adopted at
the convention of the Interstate In
land Waterway League of Louisiana
and Texas at Orange, Texas, last
week, was one to this effect:
ssWe recommend that the water
route now open between Morgan City
and the Lafourche, via the Cancienne
canal, be made section Of the inter
coastal CANAL
In order to make this route practl-
cable, or at least to give it a maxi
mum OF utility and value, it will be
absolutely necessary to restore the
navigab1e connection between Bayou
Lafourche and the Mississippi river
by substituting locks for the dam
which shuts off this connection at
DonaidsonVille.
The declaration Of the Orange con-
venticn emphasizes the imperative
need for early and determined action
on the part of this community to
bring about compliance with the legal
and moral obligation assumed by the
AtchafaIaya and Lafourche Basin
levee boards to construct these locks
and remove the dam, and we suggest
that the time is most opportune for
the formation of a citizens commit
tee to place the matter before the
governor of the state and request his
aid.
1t is the duty and prerogatiyee of
the chief executive to see that the
laws are faithfully executed and that
the holders OF his commissions prop
erly perform their public functions
and observe their official obligations.
Gov. Hall has not failed to exercise
this prerogatiVe in other instances,
and there is no apparent reason why
he should object to doing likewise in
| the present case.
When he is Informed of all the cir
cumstances, and particularly of the
plighted faith of the state and the
| 1evee boards to the United States
| government that the dam should be
only a temporary obstruction and
that locks would be built to replace
/ it-a specific and voluntary ob1iga-
ton assumed as prerequisite to
| the granting OF the privilege to OBJ
| SLruCE d 5udVISdDie oGl edln--WS - lSSi
confident the governor will quickly
recognize the propriety of calling upon
the levee boards to carry out the
mandate of the law and the terms of
their contractua1 agreement. e.
| What is everybody's business is
| too often nobody's, and it will do no
good il our people satisfy themselves
with merely talking about and protest
/ ing against the attitude and policy of
the levee boards with regard to this
important matter. There must be
some organized and systematic action
if anything is to be accomplished to-
ward securing the building of locks
and putting aldsonville on the
route of the intercoastal canal. The
local Chamber of Commerce has
made this object one of the planks
of its platform, so to speak, and the
4 formation of such committee as we
have suggested can therefore be most
appropriately taken up by the cham
Iber. We urge that this be done at
once.

Cooperative Association OF Sugar
Planters launched.

For the purpose OF pushing toWaRd
completion the formation OF the CO.
operatiyee dissertation Of sugar plant
ers known as the Cane PRODUCTS
Company, the objects and purposes
of which had been partially explain
ed at q previous general meeting IN
New Orleans, and by letters, a num-
Der of leading sugar planters and
Others identified with the sugar IN
dustry OF this section met at the Ho-
tel Donaldson Mast Saturday. Acting
President Frederick Wilbert, Of Pa
quemine, called the assemblage TO
order and served as chairman. The
meeting was addressed at some
length by Hon. Donelson Caffery and
w. IT. King. and their remarks We're
followed by a general discussion OF
the progress of the movement 10
date.
It developed that the success OF the
undertaking could be regarded as
certain. and that the fundamental
principle of cooperation would be
applied to correcting and overcoming
many deficiencies in the business of
producing and marketing sugar, It
having already accomplished the de-
sired result in many other lines OF
human activity.
Messages were received from q. 4.
Robiohaux, S. Prejean and others
who were unable to attend PERSONAL
ly, endorsing the movement ana
pledging their hearty support.
There were present Messrs. James
p. Kocky T. D. SpilIer, Percy Barton
Myer Lemann, Ross Murrell, James
Il. Dunlap, Joseph Supple, L. NJ. So
Mat Castor Cabiro, Donelson CAT
ferry. Frederick Wilbert, w. T. King,
Emile LeBoeuf, C. S. Mathews, Is
idore Hechinger, and others. The as
ISOLATION gained considerable strength
as a result of the meeting, and ar
ranged to include in its membership
factors. commission merchants, BRO
kers and others who would be bene-
ficially affected by the prosperity Or
the sugar section.
1t was shown that the cost TO eacn
m4amber would be SO small and so
distributed as to be dfsregafded as
an item OF expense, compared TO the
benefits sure to follow the full deVel-
opment of the associations plans.
The contributions necessary to insure
success, it was shown, would amount
to less than the average COMMISSION
for selling sugar and molasses at me
present time. and would be more than
offset by benefits received and
abuses corrected.
