The Comus Club

Some twenty eight years ago,
club was organized in Natchlto
ches that grew rapidly in name
and fame thruout the southland
as unique and like unto itself ano
itself only.
1t was quilt upon the highest
standard Tor aesthetic advance
nent ana pleasure: and st angfrs
came ana naryrl,ed, then went
forth and not only :Old is storA,
but tried organization along The
same lines at home, and later they
returned spoke Of their success in
patterning after Natchitoches' idol
or with regret if they failed. The
chess, domino, whist, pool and
billiard games were famous and
nightly, crowds gathered around
to watch the skilled players of
the different sports which we're
played purely and simply for the
science and pleasure involved, as
gambling or playing Tor even the
slightest amount was never per-
mitted within the portals of the
Comus.
The reading room was full of
the latest and best mas aZines,
journals aud NEWSPAPERS; the gym.
had all the best and latest appli-
anoes for those athIetically bent;
twice month a musical and liter
ary program was given when local
talent lent their best efforts, while
card parties and dances for child
rem and xrownups alternated and
at least twice a year some great
author, poet, musician or enter
tainer of some kind was import
ed'. AS a special feature ban
quets that equalled Lucullus' feasts
added to Natchitoches' local fame
as i gracious host. and toasts that
still ring thru nearly three decades
were drunk in csiS.al water, as
one OF the invio!ate fnles yyo-
hibi,ed tie use of any liquor.
The Club was thrown open as
the meeting place for conventions
and public gatherings, tho the
rules and regulations were tightly
drawn as to membership and
guests.
And after fiourishing thru twol
full decades and a half, the (.pmus,

1f there is not a record Of shipments and

For more reasons than one the public

GOVERNOR CON in the act of handing
~ sweet scented bouquets to Hiram John
son is spectacle calculated to stir the heart
Of domagogy. "Hc and l." declared the
Democratic candidate. addressing a Sacra-
mCnto audience, "do not agree on intcrna-
tional policies. but I respect the man for
his candor.' 1t appears from the context
Of the speech that not n little of this ere
spect' is due to past favors and hopes Of
future bcnefactons.
Hiram Johnson did the Democratic party
an excellent turn four years ago. In the
exceedingly transparent expectation that
suave words concerning former malcontent
will induce Californans to secede again from
the Republican fold. Mr.. Cox dsmisses
cardinal plank in his party platform in
rush of appreciation for a man whose dctes-
taton of any League of Nations has been
outspoken and intense
II fattery so Grass is regarded in the
Democratic camp with satisfaction. the sin
cerity of the stand taken at the San Fran
cisco convention upon the League of Nations
as Mr.. Wilson submitted il to the Senate
may well be questioned.
Mr.. Taft. it may be noted, has not been found
fulSomcly compIimenting Mr.. Johnson. The
ex president is genuine friend of the
league in some form, as are most Americans.
