The Desarter.' 2

Charles Rag is the sta, of "The
DesertaS Triangle feature e@hich
viii be seen at the Gem Theatre to-
day.
The story deals with stirring
events at a frontier army post in
1868. Lieutenant Parker loses his
heart to Barbara Taylor, daughter of
the colonel in charge of the post. But
Barbara's affections have been won
by Captain Turner, and when the
handsome young lieutenant asks her
for her hand she has to say no.
Barbara does promise the disconso-
late Parker that she will give him the
first waltz at the approaching Hallow-
cen ball. But when the time comes,
the first waltz finds her whirlin@about
the floor with her intended. The
young lieutenant has a nasty temper,

ATTEMPT TO MESLEAD VOTERS.
Y Insincere Motive Behind Movement
to Defeat Amendments.
Editorial in Daily States, Oct. II.

Edltorlal IN DAILY States. Oct. II.
The Lake Charles American-Press
IN line with the Donaldsonville Chief
and other level-headed country news
papers, is segregating the local
amendments from the eighteen on the
official ballot and urging the country
voters to support them. Very cor
RED y, says the Press, the people of
the State can offer no reasonable OBJ
lection to these local amendments, un-
less the people of the communik les
concerned show hostility to them.
The Press picks eight such amend
ments, including those in which New
Orleans is interested, and incidentaI-
ly says that everyone in the statd
should desire to see New Orleans
prosper and hence help her to keep
her financial affairs untangled. which
they can do by voting for the city
bond amendment.
In the same spirit we say the peo-
pie of New Orleans ought to manifest
their wish to see Lake Charles pros
per by voting for the amendment
which would help that city in carry
ing out 01ans for deep water port.
Tess raises protest against
thf it hears in some quarters for
8ting down of all the amend
is in order to force constitution
convention. We have heretofore
lied attention to the fact that some
$lninforned people here, processing
$ be deeply interested in the welfare
% the schools, have been urging this
very thing.
The Press correctly points out that
convention following the voting
down of the amendments is out Of the
question. If the amendments are
beatsn it will be evidence of the
strength of the opposition to any tink-
sAing with the constitution at this
Hme. If the opponents of the tax, as
sessment, fee and other reforms now
proposed are strong enough to reject
them, they will be strong enough to
beat convention, which, they would
argue, was intended to defeat the will
of the people as expressed next month.

"The Gutter MasdaIene."

:. This production, which will be the
Wednesday offering at the Grand,
may be ranked as thoroughly sue
cessful Lasky feature. In its clever
seizure of profound psychological
moments, in its portraiture of phases
N underworld life, in its inspirational
uevotlon to perfect details, the pic
yare stands in the first rank. The
highest praise is none too high for the
merits of the film. Jack Dean, Billy
Elmer, James Neill, Gertrude Keller
and Robert Bradbury made most
satisfactory cast. The story is a
strictly modern one, aaM the settings
y y well as the atmosphere lend great
aorce e, and interest to the production.
ne pictures and scenes of low life,
v anile never in the least offensive, are
sssaftllngly true to life. The whole
sltaation is handled with extraordi-
nary skill. The feature is remark
aoiy free from padding.

NEWS OF THE pWOTOPLAYs


which the Grand announces as it's at
traction for Thursday.
At Miss O'Harahan's school fol
SD, near Dublin, there is misq&ev,
oRs pupil with the awe-inspiring Mme
of LadyEileenKavanaugh. Her pranks
are far from pleasing to Mistress
O'Harahan, and she is punished many
times until the sudden discovery thai
her father is penniless leads to hel
being withdrawn from the school.
Dennis Kavanaugh spends his en-.
tire time delving into the hundreds
of massive volumes which line the
walls of his library from floor to cell
ing. While perched on his ladder
searching for musty tome he dis
covers will, yellow with age. The
contents of the will state that the en-

he never tells her his name. Mean
while George, his scape-grace broth
er, discovers the terms of the will,
presents himself at the Kavanaugh
home as the eldest of his family and
insists that the marriage be arranged
at once, despite Eileen's very evident
distaste for him. The little girl is
trided into the marriage, bug for
tunately her lover rescues her from
George on their wedding day. George,
believing he has killed Stanley in the
fight which ensues, fees on horseback,
but is killed by a huge boulder which
rolls down the mountainside.
Of course Stanley thinks he found
Eileen all by himself and that his
brother was killed by accident, but
Eileen knows it was the fairies who
showed her her true lover and who
rolled the giant boulder down upon
the niscreant George.

known that consumption, termed the
great white scourge, can be stamped
out of the world in twenty years if the
knowledge of il preyentio@ and cure

If our government was one of COM

simple to enforce the laws for the ex-
termination of plague diseases, but
as we must depend for our laws and
their enforcement upon intelligent
public opinion, it becomes everyone's
duty to join in this health crusade,
which, if properly conducted, will
mean that consumption in Louisiana
can be brought under control within
ten years.

Newspapers Hard Hit by War Prices

During the past month half dozen
Louisiana weekly newspapers have
announced an increase in price to
S1.50 year, that being the only alter
native to suspension. Paper, which
less than a year ago cost little more
than two cents a pound, now brings
from six to seven cents in the open
market. Concretely this means that
where a weekly newspaper a year ago
gave Ii cents out Of it's subscription
price for paper in a year, it now gives
80 to 45a cents. Of course this ap-
plies equally to daily papers. The
increase in paper cost to the Ameri-
can-Press over last year at the pre-
vailing market price would be S12 to
SIS a day, or between $4,000 and
$4,000 year. Newspapers can stand
this drain in hope of better conditions
for while, but eventually if condi-
tions continue prices must go up

Pierre, Nov. 4.-The skunk issue
appears to be one of Importance in
some school districts of the state.
Recently the state superintendent
department received a letter from a
teacher In one of the southern coun-
ties of the state where the teacher
claimed that two boys of the school
were trapping skunks. and did not al
ways take the trouble to properly de-
odorize themselves before coming 10
school, and she wanted to know what
could be done. This week the coun-
ty superintendent of this county re-
ceived a S. o. s. call from a teacher
in the eastern part of the county who
wanted a nest of skunks under the
schoolhouse abated as a nuisance In

Tex, Gen. Morris declared that the
guardsmen believed they would be

next few weeks, a course which has
been postponed because of political
conditions in the United States. The
general did not vouchsafe his person

clared there was ne immediate pros
