The Famous Players Film Co., who

a photoproduction difficult to describe
in cold type. The varied emotions ot
the dancing girl, splcndidly depicted
by Florence Reed, the cumulative

GUbernafOriaI Race

The gubernatorial situation has some
what cleared up during the week, and it
now looks like the contest will narrow down
to race between Pleasant and Person.
Overton has refused to run; Judge
+O'Neil still has the matter under considera-
ton, but it is not likely that he will let 60
the position on the bench for such an uncer-
tainty
The country politicians are in full force
in New Orleans, and while ostensibly dyna-
hitting the front door of the ward bosses,
emissaries are creeping up the back stairs.
But so far, the bosses are mum, and no deals
have been consumated.
So the race will be between Pleasant ard
Pierson only, unless Barrett decides to try
his luck; which, however is hardly proba-
bic, for the reason that the Leutenat Gov
ernor is known to be timid and averse to
getting in the race unless the lines are safe
lily laid. "~<.-'
The lead that the Pleasant supporters
claim is more imaginary than real, and
time will show that the vote in the parishes
will be pretty well divided between the
two candidates.
Country politicians will now go slow
until the race is further advanced. AS
stated before, there will be many local con-
tests in the parishes, and these contests
will have more to do'with the lineup in the
country than the personnel of the contest
ants. Opposing candidates for local offices
will support opposing gubernatorial candi-
dates. The degree of heat engentered will
therefore depend on the ferceness of the
local contests. -

Philanthropy Amuck.

II memory serves us right, 1t was the
daughter of beef trust magnate who re-
turned from the war front, recently, after
having resigned in disgust from the Red
Cross Society. She gave as reason that
any work that aleviated the hardships of
war, in the end, tended to prolong the con-
flict; that the more horrible the conditions
OF war, the better the chance for it's early
termination. Remarkable perspicacity for
philanthropists!
But wonders never cease; the American
Red Cross announces that it will discontinue
distribution of food in Mexico. This course
was prompted by the fact that the lower
class of Mexicans had refused to work be-
cause they could get food without cost. In
addition many had given up positions in
order to keep in close touch with the free
hand out. Remarkable perspicacity for
a philanthropist! ~,
We are willing to admit that there are
good philanthropists, but we think that
all of them should be required to stand a
civil service examination before being
turned loose on the helpless pdblic. =. -
This constant canvassing for Foreign
Missions and Alien Relief has about de-
stroyed the nervous system Of the average
American, who will appreciate the two in
cidents above mentioned as indicating a
more rational view of charitable effort.
Charity workers are divided into two
classes: those who have nothing to do and
those who having disagreeable duties find
that charitable pretenses furnish easy means
of avoiding such duties. !
Charity is wonderfully good trait,
but we still adhere to the belief that home
territory will supply field large enough to
exercise for many years the most enthusi-
astic workers. a. - '-...,:...o az,
Before entering further into the cru.
SADIE it may be well to clean up some Of our

troubles we will present more solid forma-
ton to meet the ills that afflict the balance

lSOOO majority seems to have a very
drawing effect on the country politician.

The proposal of the financiers repre-
sentlng France and Great Britain to bor-
row without collateral security one billion
dollars from American bankers has created
much discussion and controversy. The Pro.
German financiefs oppose the loan on the
ground that such aid to the allies would yio-
late our neutrality. If the loan can be made
with safety, it will give considerable impetus
70 our export trade. This trade the fnan.
clefs threaten 10 take elsewhere, unless the
loan IS granted.
