We criticised a society play this
year and one Of the authors said that
she didn't think we knew anything
about society. Unfortunately she was
right, but yet we have courage to
make one more venture. This time il
is erich Man, Poor Man" If act two
Of that play, which purports to be
living room in the home Of Peter Bees
ton, Wall Street king, accurately
represents the quarters Of the rich We
shall sedulously cherish our poverty
In act three the fearful looking place
has been made still more hideous by
the addition Of strings of pink flowers.
Beeston points out the decorations to
the girl, and when she holly demands
an explanation he says David did it."
Here comes the big surprise of the
play. The young lady swings neither
left nor right, nor does she even at
tempt TO kick David.
BY the way, il is strange that David
should be asked to go about on clutches
all through the play. There is no ade-
quate explanation. 1t is revealed at
one point that his grandfather dropped
him on the sidewalk as a child, but
there seems to be no good reason why
this accident should be visited upon
the audience and the actor.
"The New York Dramatic News" says
erich Man, Poor Man" will be accept
able, even il the critics of two morn ne
papers-one a baseball reporter, the
other on the outer edge of society
think otherwise. This we think is un-
fair discrimination against US. What
debasement is beyond baseball report
ing?
An actor from England has received
unmerited censure here. Some of the
critics thought that Hamilton Deane IN
Fixing Sister" was poor. On the con-
trary, we think ne is excellent. Mr.
Deane is Lord Haggett, a villain, and
the beauty Of his performance is that
there is no mistaking the fact he is
villain from the moment he steps on
the stage. He may deceive the two
women in the play, but folk in the
topmost gallery can observe his guilty
look as he lies and lies. When his
lordship signals to his confederate IN
time of stress he does It badly. The
sign for a wide one, or whatever 1t If
ne wants, cannot be missed by any one
in the theatre. II is we'll enough fol
Iago TO be slick, but when it comes tc
melodrama the villain must never be
clever enough to thwart the hero fol
more than a feeting moment.
Patriotism Ia great thing, but
somehow or other We fail 10 catch the
thrill which should animate every
spine when VIII am Hodge as John Otis

n Convention SUGGESTION.

The States editorially comments on the
proposition of Mr.. Jno. w. Lewis, of Saint
Landry, to hold a democratic convention
following the primary election. i
The purpose Of this convention IS 10
adopt platform upon which democrats can
unite and thereafter present solid 1ront
for the ensuing general election at which
the republicans and democrats will lock
horns.---~-
Like the States we can see no objection
to the resolution and think that it will re-
suit in strengthening the democratic noml-
nee We anticipate no want OF harmony
in the party following the primary, but the
adoption of platform by the majority vote
of the party, to be framed by representative
leaders elected by the people, should meet
general approval.
This convention would give an oppor-
Itunity to ascertain the wishes OF the people
on many of the issues that are now produc-
ing friction within party ranks. Recon-
t mendations could be made to the next
, General Assembly and many wrangles dis
posed of in advance of it's converting.
Let our officials know what the people
want and there can be no question but that
thew will further such demands Under
present conditions every candidate makes
his own platform for the reason that there
can be, under existing laws, no concrete ex
n preston of party will.
q Such a convention would be wis
Il move and would serve the purpose until tn
- legislature amends the election laws so tina
candidates and platform can be announces
at the same time by delegates elected b.
parochial primaries, surrounded with all tn
as safeguards possible, to insure honesty an
le fairness.

BOarn1n'S Job

The following political dope has been
ispatched from Washington to the Daily
tates, under date of January 9Th:
1.-The names OF nine prominent
Louisiana lawyers have been presented
formally to the department Of justice
as men who are qualified to be United
States District Judge in the western
district of Louisiana. The department,
however, is unable to act upon any OF
the recommendations because no va
cancy exists.
Judge Aleck Boarman, the occu-
pant Of the bench Of this court, has
passed the age at which he could retire,
if he felt inclined to do SO. So far,
Washington is uniformed as to any
intention of this kind on the part of
the Judge.
1.-THE list Of applicants includes
Henry Bernstein, Of Monroe; Philip j.
Chappuis, of Crowley; w. B. Clark, OF
Monroe; j. M. Foster, of Shreveport;
F. X. Ransdell, of Lake Providence;
Leon Sugar, of Lake Charles; Leon
Ruthford Smith, of Shreveport; and II.
H. White, of Alexandria"
There has been rumor in circulate
for several months that Judge Boarman
tended resigning about the first OF the yea

Keeping HHVe a Dead issue.

The Journal some weeks back asked tor
information as 10 the standing OF the state
Legislature on the question Of liquor sale
The position vas taken that IN all pfooao'i-
,tv the vote of the membe Of the General
Assembly could be poled on this issue, ana
that as the matter was one left exclusively
to the legislative branch that we could
anticiDate the result Of such contest IN the
next session. The question was pertinent
in that it would do away with the necessity
for good amount Of hot air that was beng
turned loose in the gubernatoral race, and
that i could be made plain to the people
that the position pro or con OF the respective
candidates could have no influence In set
Ting the liquor question.
The Times -Picayune has editorially eX-
pressed the belief that the State Senate is
apainist statewide prohibition by majority
of from five to nine votes and that the lower
branch stands in about the same proportion
against the measure.
If this forecast is true it is about time
for candidates to let dead issues alone ana
discuss other equally as important matters.
There appears to be but little interest
on the part of the people in the liquor
question, anyway, most OF them 1eeIhs
that local option, as now existing, take
care of the issue and at the same TIM
preserves to the parishes the full rights
self-govemment If statewide prohloltlol
is dead, as indicated by the poll of the gen
eral assembly, then let's get down to bus
ness and discuss matters that will impov
the political and business conditions
the state.

II Dim Light.

1t is generally conceded that Vardaman,
of Mississippi, has lost influence since his
election to the United States Senate. This
is nc uncommon incident in connection with
local political celebrities, many of whom
loom up large on the huseings at home, but
when they come in contact with bigger men
they sink to proper level. There are some
big men IN the U. S. Senate, possessed of
real grey matter and we should be little
more careful in selecting knights to pitt
against them. We can rest assured that
when we select men who possess nothing
but little cheap political acumen that they
will be Of little value to us in the National
Legislature. The south has been prone to
accept the demagogic prattle of candidates
and has paid no attention to the more SUBJ
stantial requisites of craftsmanship in the
selection of congressman and senators. In
consequence the south has not welded the
influence in congress that her political and
commercial interests justified.
We trust that these facts will soakinto
voters and that their comprehension is real
and permanent and that their votes in the
future will be cast with more discrimination.
