POOR POLITICAL JuDalAaX4.

While number Of dissatisfied
office holders III Louisiana are
helping TO boost John NJ. rarkur
as candidate or governor, they
ought to remember that he is the
same man who helped to give lis
the present reform adm4nstla-
ton which is rapidly drawing 10
a close. 1t was the Hon. John
NJ, who went to Monroe and dis
covered the present incumbent
for governor. Following the sue
cess Of his candidate, he became
an ardent admirer OF Theodore
Roosevelt, and he jumped tue
Democratic party for the second
time in his career.
While it is admitted by all who
know Mr.. Parker that he is
splendid citizen, big-hearted and
honest in his intentions. no one is
ready to concede that he has
monopoly On these fine qualities.
And in spite Of all the qualifica-
tions of Mr.. Parker, his political
record is not Of the kind that will
appeal to the electorate of Louis
lana. Recently the New Orleans
States among other questions put :
the following to the Bull Moose
candidate: "-la
"Can he defend a financial
management which has spent more
money than the alleged extrava-
CANT administration which pre-
ceded? Which has put the State
head over heels in debt? Which
has brought about the collapse of
it's fiscal systemY Which. in
stead of inaugurating those econ
omies which he pledged the peo-
pie, has brought condition
which can only be relieved by
putting new burdens of taxation
on the citizens Of the State?

M. Parker will attempt to make

saS in the matters IN which Kan
sas in reality is far in the lead.
His figures apparently were TAX
en- from authoritative sources,
and his comparisons We're not
creditable to Louisiana, though
there was nothing offensive in his
utterances. He said the rail-
roads of Kansas are required to
make monthly reports of the ship
ments of liquor in the state, and
these statements show that Kan
sas spends $3.50 per capita year
ly for liquor; while Louisiana,
with about the same population,
spends $45, 100000 more annually.
Kansas, he said, has the greatest
per capita wealth of any state in
the Union, which was one item
showing how prohibition had
ruined her. He took up some
statements in facts, a local pub
lication, which had said that the
tax rate in Kansas was so high
that the state was about to re-
pudiate it's bonded debt. He said
the bonded Indebtedness of Kan
sas is one and one-half cents per
capita, while that Of Louisiana
is 800. Kansas has $500 per
capita Of wealth, while Louisiana
has $500. The tax rate of Kansas
is ~ cents On the 800, while that
of Louisiana is 60 cents.
He said that when the cry for
relief went up for the stricken
Belgians he issued proclamation
calling upon the farmers Of the
state to give one bushel out of
every 100 they produced for the
Belgians, and on the merchants
to supply the money to grind it
into -four and for it's transporta-
tion. The result was that Kan
sas sent earlv $1,000 barrels of
-four to the Belgians, and when
The Governor of Missouri, "wet"
state, asked him to join in send

FOR GOVERNCR.
[The TLnsas Gazette.)


Now that DIR. Pierson has with
drawn from the race Tor the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor,
it leaves the field clear Tor test
OF strength between Attorney
General Pleasant and Lieutenant
Governor Barret, with clear-cut
issue between them-prOhloltlon.
1t is indeed unfortunate that
Mr.. Barret. in his desire TO keep
from being absolutely eliminated
from the contest, on account OF
his position on the Constitutional
Convention proposition. has seen
! fit to grab the prohibition ques-
tion by the nape Of the neck and
drag it bodily into this contest.
At the extra session Of the Legis-
lature, when the laws affecting
the shipment Of liquor into dry
territory were passed, aud every
thing done to help those sections
which had voted dry to have act
ual prohibition, it was tacitlv un-
derstood that the prohibitionists
would make no effort at this time
to wage Statewide prohibition
fight, and they the (prohibition-
ists) have kept the faith, for at
the meeting Of the Anti-Saloon
League in Alexandria. a few
weeks ago, it was agreed that no
fight would be made at this time,
but the Lieutenant-Governor,
foundering around for some is
sue that might gain him a few
votes and enable him to at least
make a respectable showing in
the primary election. grabbed the
standard Of prohibition, raised it
on high and called on all true
prohibitionists to follow his lead.
Now just the idea of Tom Barret
being a prohibitionist! If he has
ever been a prohibitionist, then
the people of Caddo (his home)
have never discovered the fact.
and from the further fact that a
great number of prohibitionists-
men who have been true to the
cause or years-are supporting
Mr.. Pleasant, it looks as if his
death-bed conversion is not taken
seriously.
Col. Pleasant has announced
that he stands for local option
with the parish as the unit. as it
is to-day. and thus the issue is
made.
However. it is not because Bar
ret is a pro and Pleasant an anti
that we have decided to lend our
to the latter candidate.
but because of the fact that the
people of this parish were almost
in their opposition to
the holding of Constitution Con-
vention at this time. and it was
Mr.. Pleasant who boldly took the.
stump in opposition to the Con-
and made the fight for
the people: nor did he stop to
consider the effect that it might
have on his political future.
Those of us who opposed the
Convention owe something to Mr..
Pleasant and we can best show
Dur appreciation of his valuable
services by nominating him in the
January primary.

Il line behind the orchestra, "A hob

Between the words and the music
the whisper of the other girl came:
ooh, sure ! know; they run us all
around the time we was there. They
seen us Oh. my"
BY this time Herbert had resigned
The song 70 the orchestra. With
last valiant effort he pumped in with
the last line of the chorus, and as
the ensemble took up the refrain he
glanced behind him to the spot from
which the whispers had come.
There he saw two of Broadway's
heirlooms from the old Weber and
Fields days a hundred by daylight,
but still preSentable with makeup and
footlights. With set, pointing lips,
they were still glancing at the box.
Prepared to see two infants who had
escaped from the parental eye or a
couple of callow college youths on
lark, the comedian turned and faced
his audience. Only one of the boxes
was occupied and in il sat the LOOMS
boys from Joliet.
"Thcy were between sixty and sev-
enty years Of age" says Corthell,
"alike as twins, and white boards
swept their chests
There was some applause at the end
OF the chorus, but Cortheli was in no
condition TO oblige with an encore.

LOOMS BOYS UPSET

Stout Burglar Nettled When he
Saw the Youths Were

Herbert Corthell does quite a nlt

and down stairs, rushes in and out
If fronlaccs and INDUCES in several
o,ber stunts which enable him TO. obey
the Biblical precept about earning
ones bread by the sweat of the brow.
But Corthell claims that his hardest
work is TO play part IN musical
comedy which requires vocal display.
Nature gave Corthcll an abundant
sense of humor, but left him some
what deficient in singing ability. YET
managers have given him singing
parts on many occasions, and here Is
Tho story of one of his trying eXper-
cnces N musical role. ,-u ..
About three years ago Corthell was
plaving the principal role IN ne
Ciri and the Drummer piece
which had quite run in Chicago. one
hot night IN that city he was laooring
narticnIarlv hard with the lyric
"Sjnce Aunt Maria Bought hobple
skirt II was a Wednesday night, the
comedian was tired after two per
formances. and the patter OF the song
which he had sung many times seemed
determined TO elude HIM. In such M
ments any sound diverts the memory
from its course. -
The orchestra, down beneath me

Its members all carry union cards ana

They play straight ahead, quite oo-
livious Of any lapses Of memory on
the mart Of the player. If the singer
does not go ahead with them they are
soon miles ahead of him, and ne
never catches up.
With all this in mind, Corthell was
hard on the trail of the elusive verse
his whole soul centred on the lyric.
In the midst OF this fearful concen-
tration he heard one Of the chorus
Girls in the lines behind him whisper

ment to the theatre and its actors and
70 the playgoing public, and helping
all to take the stage seriously as one
of the great moving influences on HUI
man life.
The questions may be asked, Why
have we no permanent repertory
theatre in London? MIR. Granville
Barker tried the experiment at the
Court Theatre some ten years since,
and, whatever may have been the
financial results of the venture. there
can be no doubt of the artistic
triumphs secured. and the theatre in
Sloane Square did much for the en-
couragement and development OF
native dramatic art and the education
Of the public in the newer school OF
dramatic presentation, pioneered and
fostered by the Independent Theatre,
even before Mr.. Barker, whose po-
sition as an original thinker and
worker in the world Of the theatre
has done so much TO clear II from the
cant OF convention. Critics OF the
Court Theatre experiment in a playful
way asked for a balance sheet and
suggested that the only principle on
which an art theatre could logically
be based was that II people really
found to be willing to pay for it. The
lameutcd Charles Frohman. whose un-
timely loss is deeply deplored on both
sides of the Atlantic, was evidently in
spired by this thought when he en-
dcavored 20 establish permanent
repertory theatre at the Duke Of Iork's
and decided TO depend partly on what
in Italian opera is called subscription.
He issued form TO be filled up by
persons desiring to support the en-
terprise. and also arranged his bill
on a plan resembling that in force
during the grand season at Covent
Garden. But the scheme of Mr..
Frohman did not secure those box
Office returns which he had every
right to look for, though such brilliant
playwrichts as Sir James Barrie,
Granville Barker. Haddon Chambers,
Gilbert Murray, John Galsworthy. Lau-
renee Housman. Henry James, John
Masefald, George Meredith. Somerset
Vaughan. Sir Arthur Pinero and Ber-
nard Shaw were reQuisitioned. But that
repertory theatres have done great ser
vice 10 the modern stage there can be
no question. and the history of their es-
Enlistment and growth IN our large
cities is the one bright chapter in the
somewhat depressing records OF the
provincial stage.

LLOYDS OFFERS
NEW SAVINGS PLAN
Bank Now Accepts Deposits
as Low as One
Shilling.

The latest departure OF Lloyds Bank,
London, in Offering facilities at all OF
its $50 branches in England and Wales
for the deposit of small savings from
one shilling upward will be watched
with great interest by bankers gener-
ally, remarks THE London Telegraph"
Hitherto savings banks have been re
garded as philanthropic institu-
tons, where the expenses obliterate
much chance of profit.
II is not expected that much bust
ness of the savings bank kind will be
done in London, one difficulty being
the necessity of keeping open till !
or s O'Clock in the evening TO meet the
convenience Of depositors. But it is
quite likely that the branches outside
London, other than those of the old
Willis and Dorset, may get considerable
custom.
SO far as could be ascertaircd on
inquiry, The allowance to depcsitors
will not be fixed, bu- will vary in ac-
cordance with the value of money.
For the present it is to be the deposit
rate of country banks, which 10 now
212 per cent, as against the pei cent
allowed by London institutions. As
regards Withdrawals, they will be per
mitted without notice up to 800. but
for amounts of S25 and upward ten
days notice will be required.
A high official at the head Offices Of
Lloyds in Lombard street explained
that the new scheme was not put for
ward to capture depO:itors or bust
ness from other banks.
THE idea at the root Of the
scheme" he said, "is to encourage
those whose earnings are now larger
than usual 10 save part of their extra
income. so hat If employment should
slacken ana wages shrink IN the
future. they may have something in
hand with which to meet these con-
tinFencics"
