INVENTOR TALKS
 OVE R I HE CABLE

pr. Giuseppe Musso, the New York inventor, who is in Valdez to submit his device for telephoning over sub marine cables to practical tests, has been able to talk with the operator at Cordova, the voice passing over the cable with the same degree of clear ness as If ordinary telephone wire for short distances was being used. The distance between Valdez and Cor dova over the route by which the cable Is laid is approximately one hundred miles.
 Dr. Musso was able to converse with the operator at Seward although the distance is nearely three times as great. The operator at Seward in- stantly detected the difference be- tween the voices when Lieut.. Dough erty took pr. Musso's place at the phone. Rr. Musso explained that the cable between Valdez and Seward was 1s9 miles in length and that the branch of the cable from the main line to Cordova, 59 miles, also had to be con sidered in making the test, as that portion of the cable consumed the vibrations just the same as the line

comes easier and we are not as apt to re-
peat the mistakes which ended in failure.
We learn by experience, of course, and
each mistake and each failure that we make
carries with it one redeeming feature if we
only look for it, and that is the knowledge
of certain conditions which we lacked at
first. 1t is better to meet our responsible
ties with some show of spirit and to make
the effort to discharge them worthily than
to remain inactive and apparently indiffer-
ent to the obligations they impose. Ex-
perience is an invaluable factor in shaping
the conditions of life and offers many COM
pensations even where failure and its bitter
penalties work theirdiscouraging influence.
Any effort within reason is better than in
action and once we learn this truth we shall
find it easier to display Willingness to as
sumo our responsibilities than we did under
different conditions. The tests Of charac-
ter are many, but there are none which tell
the tale so plainly as the test of RESPONSE
bility Without it we are never quite GER
tain of ourselves. Having once experienced
it we are better prepared to meet other tests
of widely different character.

A LEADER AND 4 GREAT CAUSE.

Lieutenant Governor Thomas c. Barrett
has formally announced his candidacy for
Governor of Louisiana. He stands for
State wide prohibition, morality and Of
public service of great value to the State.
He is faithful, able, earnest and honest
public servant, who believes in the good
welfare of the whole people with his whole
heart and soul. He has been one of the
truest and most faithful men ever honored
with official trust in Louisiana. In the
General Assembly for near twenty years
he has borne himself in manner alike
creditab!e to the State and honorable to
his own fair fame. In boldly announcing
for prohibition and clean politics he has
chosen no primrose PATH to victory and
shows that he is more Of an unselfish pa
triot than politician, and Louisiana needs
more patriotism and less politics. Repre-
senting cause of such vital interest to the
people as prohibition, he deserves to be
elected Governor of Louisiana.
Hurrah for Barrett and Prohibition!

THOMAS c. BARRETT FOR GOVERNOR

From the Shreveport Journal
The formal announcement of Lieutenant
Governor Thomas C. Barrel of Caddo Par
ish as candidate for governor at the DEM
ocratic primary election in January has
stirred the people of Louisiana as no other
political announcement in a quarter of a
century. In declaring that he would make
the campaign upon the great moral issue
of prohibition the lieutenant governor Has
sounded the call to arms for cause that
has not been equalled since the people of
Louisiana battled for freedom from the
Louisiana lottery.
1t was this contest of quarter of CEN
fury ago which brought Thomas C. Barrett
into public life. His record since that
memorable year is before the people of
Louisiana as an open book; for twenty
years, as member of the general assembly
and as lieutenant governor and presiding
officer of the State senate, his vote and
influence have been in favor of every
measure looking to better moral conditions
for Louisiana and against every proposition
looking to the continuation of social, moral
or political wrongs. Every measure look
ing to the extension of prohibition territory !;
every act to suppress gambling, whether
in pool halls or on race tracks; every bill
having for its purpose better and cleaner
politics-all have had the enthusiastic sup
port of Thomas C. Barrett of Caddo.
His record in the affairs of Louisiana is
one of which he has every right and reason
to be proud. 1t is record to which his
friends and supporters during the forth
coming campaign may point unhesitatingly
and without fear. So with his record in
private affairs. He has lived clean life,
dealing fairly with his fellow men, able to
look every man squarely in the eye. He
has gained success in his profession and by
the application of intelligent business
methods has succeeded in material ways;
for twenty years he has faithfully served

A stirring dramatization of Cyrus

House today. William Courtleigh, the
popular romantic actor, appears in
the title role.
Mark Stebbing and Lionel Barmore
are two young clergymen in a metrop-
oils, both friends, both earnest work
ers for the cause, but of distinctly
opposite types. Both love the same
woman, Margaret Wharton, the daugh-
ter of proud and wealthy old capital
list, and strong supporters of the
fashionable church of st. Hildas. The
bishop of the diocese has two vacan-
cies for which he must recommend rec
tors; one of the churches is st. Hilda's
and the other st. Osmunds, the brok-
en- and deserted church of the slums.
Stebbing, the self-made man, chooses
the poverty-stricken church Of the
poor and sinful as the place that needs
him most, while the polished Barmore
is glad to see the beautiful church
of st. Hilda's fall to his lot. Barmore
and Stebbing confess their love to
Margaret on the same day, and she, in

DOUBT as to which is the better man,
answers both evasively. Barmore
takes his leave CALAMITY, desiring he
may hope for a definite answer in the
future but Margaret's little coquetry
is mistaken by the straightforward
Stebbing for disguised yes" and he
seizes her in his arms and fervently
kisses her.
Margaret is shocked and resentful,
and in anger sends for Barmore and
accepts him in Seedlings presence
Stebbing, feeling that he has been I'M
gentlemanly, in self-revulsion leaves
her presence and goes back to the
slums. The old bishop dies, and Bar
more and Stebbing are both named as
candidates for the bishopric. The men
naturally cease to be friends during
the struggle for the two prizes, but
Stebbing himself tells the people that
Barmore is better fitted for the exalted
position. Wharton's workmen 60 on
