"Thc Faith of Her Fathers"
A three-reel religious subjectof
more than ordinary interest.
The story shows the manner in
which a Rabbits daughter falls
in love with a young christian.
The question arises as to which
she shall follow-love or. the
faith of her people. The pro-
blem is handled in a reverent
and interesting way, and is a
powerful religious subject.

There are people in almost ev-
ery community who are anxious
to avoid paying the merchants a
reasonable margin on their mer-
chandise. They readily believe
any fairy tale told them by
smooth-tongued frauds who are
entire strangers to them. Near
ly all these soft snaps offered
by these fellows are sWlndles.
The best plan is to patronlze
home merchants. They hep
to pay a large part of the taxes,
help support the churches, the
schools, and are citizens among
US. They are responsible for
what goods they sell, and can
be found at any time should any
thing be wrong or goods not as
represented.

In Wednesdays issue of the
New Orleans Daily Item, we
notice picture of Miss O'Ine
Godfrey, the attractive and pop
ular daughter of Sheriff and
Mrs. W. E. Godfrey, of our
town, as one of contestants inthe
great Item Universal Film Pop
ularity Contest. Miss Godfrey
is the first to enter this contest
in North Louisiana and her many
friends have rallied to her sup
port. Miss Godfrey is known to
be a favorite where ever she has
visited and it is not hard to say
that she stands at the top when
it comes to beauty and populari-
ty. There will be fifty young
ladies to be voted on to be given
a free trip to San Francisco,
as b e ng the most
popular young ladies. The first
to have been entered in North
Louisiana, has been one of oul
home young ladies, Miss O'Ine
Godfrey, and where she is known
and visited, will no doubt let the
crown be placed where it rightly
belongs, by casting your ballots
for Miss Godfrey.

last Wednesday. We found this
body a busy set, regulating the

that were up before them, among
them being several petitions
from the different wards Of the
parish, asking this body to Or

the voters on the question of
voting a special school tax in
the different wards. We have
been informed that an election
was ordered in three of the
wards. The Waterman will
publish them next week. But

ing. The fifth note is practically cared
for by provision in a will, and II the
mission can meet the impending pay
debt.
Each morning between 8 and 7 o'clock
the mission gives bread and coffee free
to all applicants for such aid, and has
tided over many unfortunates this
winter.
Officers Of the mission stated that It
was this particular phase OF it's work
that appealed to the President, though
1t is but one Of the mission activities.
The mission runs an industrial plant
to keep the unemployed at work and
maintain ms an employment agency. 1t
maintains a free dispensary to which
local physicians donate their services.
1t maintains a diet kitchen welfare sta
tion. and a penny lunchroom.
1t has been the policy of the mission
to sell food cheaply in preference to CIV
ing 1t away. and to encourage industry
by offering opportunity to the needy
to earn their meals In addition to the
penny lunchroom. the mission operates
a soup kitchen, where beef stew, boiled
potatoes, and loaf of bread, sufficient
for meal for three, are furnished for
10 cents.

formed in biplane. The wings of
the monoplane did not stand the
strain of catching the machine after
a vertical drop; they crumpled, and
that was the end. It cost a life; it
proved something about the COM
parative strength of biplane and
monoplane for certain kinds of fight.
The airfnen who devote themselves
to "plain sewing" after the fashion
of those who are serving with the
armies in Europe, appear to navi-
gate the air in comparative safety;
at any rate the casualty reports
from the flying corps are not so
startling as might be expected, in
view of the fact that military avia-
tors must take the chances of both
the air and the sharpshooters on the
ground. Seemingly the greatest
mortality is not among the men who
make flying a business and mill
tary auxiliary; it is among those
who do the experimenting and the
performances. The per-
fection of structure and of engine
has reached the point, now, where
tens of thousands of miles of
straightaway flying are accomplish
ed every day without accident or in
cident, and in the most matter-of-
fact way. None the less, the art
owes much to the Beacheys and the
other experimenters. They deserve
better than to be carelessly dropped
from memory as rash and reckless
persons who tossed their lives into
the air-and lost.

Grand Opera Concert
Pleases Large Audience

With the full force of principals, the
chorus and the orchestra presenting an
elaborate concert program the San
Carlo Grand Opera company was heard
for the last time in Washington at the
Belasco last night.
The program that had been arranged
for the evening included arias. special
numbers, choruses, orchestral selections,
and a ballet from some of the more i'm
portant operate compositions Begin
ming with the overture from The Bar
her of Seville" 1t ran the musical
gamut, the artists being in especially
fine voice and being received with great
applause.
The particular stars of the evening
were Mime. Vacarie, Nine. Kaestner,
and Sisnor Antola. who responded to re-
peated encores and were in particularly
good voice. The reproduction of The
Ballet of the Hours" from La GiocoD-
da," was another noteworthy number of
the program.
The orchestra under the direction of
Chevalier Angelini. was heard to par
ticular advantage in an arrangement of
the barcarolC from The Tales of Hofi-
man" The tinal number was the seXtet
from Lucia" with the chorus.
Those who contributed to the program
included Mcsdames Alvord and Herrera,
Signors Agostini. Cervl Modesti, and
Gratiani.

the great sacrifice unless she is GER
tain of the great reward; and she
is right. 1t is for Italy a gamble
whichever way she goes. There Is
a cheerful story, for example, that
Austria has promised to give Italy
the provinces of Trieste and the
Trentino, provided Austria and Ger
many win in the war. That is to
say, Austria is willing to buy Italy's
support with the promise of these
provinces. But suppose Italy gave
the support, and actually got the
provinces? She would have incurred
the enmity of Russia and of Britain
and of France; and that would mean
that Italy would not be able to main-
tain herself in the Mediterranean.
Moreover, she could not expect the
hearty support of Austria for Aus
tria would be looking out for oppor-
tunity to get back her bartered prov
inces.
Italy is doing just what England
did at the wars beginning. England
waited while the other powers had
passed the buck" all around; from
Serbia to Austria, Austria to Russia,
Russia to Germany, Germany to
France. Then, and not till then,
when the lists were complete other
wise, England climbed in and swung
the seesaw her way. Italy has wait
ed. not hours, but months, to make
sure that her decision will be fully
recognized as weighty and determin-
ative; she is going to get all the
credit that is her due when she does
come in. She is going to have her
portion nominated in the bond; and
she is going to make the best terms
possible, in the hour when the allies
are most willing to concede what
she wants.
Two generations ago, Italy's one
chance to get into the family of Eu-
ropean nations and force them to
give her what she wanted, was to
join in the Crimean war. Today
ltaly's chance is to keep out; and
Italy is diligently doing it. But she
will have to get in before the end
and it is plain as anything can be,
that she will be on the side of the
allies, because on that side she can
gain most for her national purpose.

THAW MAY KNOW
FATE LATE TODAY
Counsel Argue Motion to Have
Him Returned to New Hamp-
shire.

NEW YORK, March 15.-A prelude
to Harry X. Thaws final and decisive
strategy to remain out of Matteawan
Asylum was the argument today before
Supreme Court Justice Page upon mo-
ton to have Thaw returned TO New
Hampshire.
A decision by Page was not expected
for several days, although it was pos
sible that he might decide the prelimi-
nary legal move at once.
Attorneys for Thaw and the State to-
day. prepared. however, for hsbeas COR
pus proceedings. which will test Thaw's
sanity. Even If Page decides Thaw
should be returned to New Hampshire,
it Is probable the sanity trial will be
had. Both sides regard 1t as almost
inevitable.
A favorable decision from Justice
Page, attorneys explained, would free
Thaw, but would in effect exile him
from New York, while Thaw desires
complete ''vindication'' Of his sanity.
A jury trial, probably before Justice
Gavegan in about month, Is the pres
ent tentative plan.
Deputy Attorney General Cook said
today the State would not try to rush
Thaw back to Matteawan to thwart the
ndpeds corpus move. lnaW VIII remain
in the Tombs until the sanity trial is
had.
Upon Thaws motion today for dis
charge and return to New Hampshire
following acquittal for conspiring to es-
cape from Matteawan, his attorneys
submitted lengthy briefs Thaw's con-
tention was that, having been acquitted
of conspiracy, the State would break
faith with New Hampshire by recon-
mitting him to the asylum.
An unfavorable decision would afford
him the habeas corpus move, with privi-
lege of appealing to the United States
Supreme Court
II sanity trial is had the State is
prepared to review the entire life of
Thaw. including the killing OF Stanford
White. and summon all former sanity
witnesses, probably including Evelyn
Nesbit

A NEW EMANCIPATION

The decrease in the death rate of
the colored population is consider
ably in excess of the decrease in that
OF the white population, according to
the Bureau of the Census. The great
er longevity among the colored peo-
pie is attributed to the growth of
homeownership among them. To-
day those living in the South own
100000, or 31.4 per cent more homes
than they did in 1900, and of these
0,449 are farm homes.
The census figures represent a
comparison between 1900 and 1910.
the decline in the death rates for the
two races being, for colored, 3.4, and
for whites 2.5 per 1000 population.
In 1900 the mortality rate among the
colored people was 29.4 per 1000
persons, while in 1910 it was 25.5.
These figures prove that the COL
ored race, in the South, has passed
the stage of absolute dependency
upon the white race, and is becoming
sufficient unto itself. The increased
number of homes owned shows that
their aspirations are solidly based
and that they wish to do their share
in the economic development of the
land. The day of shiftlessness for
them is passing; they are becoming
emancipated from their oun baln-
lessness. They are engaging in the
cultivation of the soil, purchasing
farms for themselves as fast as they
can; and that is the real foundation
Of any economic structure. They
are encouraging industrial skill
among the rising generations, so
that they themselves may produce
the things they want, and their in
creased efficiency as a race promotes
ambition and stimulates effort.

LINCOLN BEACHEY

Lincoln Beachey flew over Wash
ington in dirigible balloon, before
this town had seen a heavier-than-
air machine operate. He was one of
the earliest American experts with
the cigar-shaped gas bag, and after
the Wright machine came out, he
became probably the greatest Ameri-
can daredevil of the air.
Beachey has given his life to the
art of flying, as it seems all the per-
sistent experimenters in that field
are destined sooner or later to do.
No American pianist had been
seen by more people, or had won
more friends and admirers by rea-
son of his nerve and his general good
conduct. He had done good deal for
the development of the flying art.
1t is to be remembered always that
the men who, like Pegoud and
Beachey, try out the most dan
gerous performances, are the ones
SiioS 'iohS IL pOSolDle LOT Otnef men
to learn about the air. We know a
vast deal about air currents and
pockets and areas of low pressure
and the like, that nobody dreamed
before the navigation of the air was
achieved. The foolhardy stunts are
really more than just foolhardy
stunts; they are the daring expert
ments by which theories are proved
or disproved. They enable those
who come after to know for a GER
tainty that which but for their fool
hardness could not have been known
at ALL
The tragedy at San Francisco
seems to have been caused by
Beachey's attempt to perform in a
monoplane some of the feats that
kays been so easily and safely per-
