aTmE GHOST BETWEEN. ?

In the directness OF purpose, the
sincerity of presentation and the
wholesomeness OF argument, the ma
tive American drama stands head and
shoulders over any foreign conuibu-
tiOn, no matter how Impressive the
theme or vigorous the porlraiture.
A good sample OF what cocnsii-
| tutos genuine American drama and
a splendid specimen Of the genuine
native player Is promised at the Play
house for three nights, commencing
Thursday, December %, with a matt
ness on Christmas Day, when that
splendid artist, Taylor Holmes, Will
appear in "rhe Ghost Between q

A Great Victory for Col. Stubs.

The chance meeting of Mr..
James B. Aswell with John M.
Parker at Coushatta on Jan. 8,
resulted in a clear victory for Col.
Stubs.
Mr.. Aswell sat out the entire
speech of Mr.. Parker, and the
audience naturally expected him
to remain and hear Aswell's re-
ply to him. Instead of this it is
said Parker two-stepped for the
door while the band played, and
at once left town. Loud cries
were made for him to stay, but
he would not, although he had
several hours to spare in which

At the speaking in the court
house at Colfax a few evenings
since by Attorneys H. P. Long
and W. r. Jones in the interest
of Mr.. Parker, Mr.. Jones caused
a broad smile to spread among
the Stubs supporters. when he
introduced his remarks by saying
he had been invited to speak,
but did not know exactly why,
as he had invariably been on the
losing side IN all former cam
paigns. The inference very nat
urally was that in advocating
Mr.. Parker he was in his usual
losing fight.

The Voters Have Ample Data to Make
Up Their Verdict.


Perhaps in no former State
campaign have the voters of Lou
isiana had as much adverse criti-
cism and exaggerated laudation
of the leading candidates thrust
at them as the discussion of the
personalities of Col. Frank Z.
Stubbs and Mr.. John M. Parker.
in the present campaign.
But after all is said and done
Col. Stubs stands before the
people as a true. loyal and patrl-
otto Democratic citizen, without
any question as to his Democra-
cy or fealty to the party.
On the other hand there looms
up decided conviction that Mr..
Parker has not always been 10y
al to the party, and his action IN
the past gives ugly color to the
suspicion that he may prove UNI
loyal as a Democratic leader in
the future.
The question therefore arises,
why take any chances by his
election? Within the next few
DAYS the welkin is going to ring
with fulsom praise of Mr.. Park
err by smooth talking attorneys
who have been employed to plead
Mr.. Parker's case before the
people. We hope however that
few of our friends will be mis-
lead by the beating of tom-toms
and blowing of horns in the in
terest of Mr.. Parker.
The brag of Mr.. Parker's sup
porters is that he represents the
big interests" and it is to be
expected that they will make q
big noise over him. That is only
a continuation of their game. ano
no man of settled convictions
should allow it to weigh witt
him. The record is made up ant
no amount of specious argument
should change any man in hi
convictions.
About the only charge
brought against Col. Stubbs b!
his opponents is that he is al
honest man, and that his. yer.
honesty will force him to recog
nize Mayor Behrman and theNev
Orleans ring in the bestowal o
patronage and making appoint
ment Col. Stubs on the contra
ry has proclaimed from ever
stump in the State that he wi
not be controlled by the Ney
Orleans ring, and being an hon
est, honorable man, his word
entitled to be taken at its flu
value. He has been weighed i
the balances and found to b
pure gold when it comes to Pa
triotism, Bravery. Loyalty an
Truth, and by this token we be
lieve he is man of integrity an
entitled to the confidence of a

The following petition from
citizens of ward one with refer
ence to the road along Red River

Paramount was read.
To the Honorable Police Jury
of the Parish of Grant,
We, the undersigned tax pay
ers of Ward One desire the fol-
lowing road change or alteration.
We have heretofore requested on
several occasions your body to
thave Mr.. A. A. Dean move his
fence back on the river from
leading from Hodnett's crossing
lown the left bank of the river
70 Paramount. While Mr.. Dean
has moved his fence a little, a
time or two, yet he has never
moved the fence back enough to
.llow us to have a safe road fol
! public travel, the part of the
j road we complain of is that part
. from Mr.. w. N. Prices home
lown to say a half mile above
| Mr.. Ed. Fuller's place. If Mr..
| Dean will move mis- fence back
from it's present location fifty
feet, enough space will be left
between the fence and river. to
allow us to work the road. When
| the fence has been moved here
tofore, it has been such a short
distance, as to throw the road
on the ditch and between road
land fence, and what we want is
4 a space between the ditch anc
the point to which the fence viii
! be moved, wide enough for 9

the river bank caves and we be.
, lieve that if we can get the roae

THE FARMERS SPONGE

! Instead Of struggling to hold ut
war prices which are disappearing
our farmers would be much wiser
it they would recognize conditions
clean up their crops and prepare for
the new era.
The successful farmer must now
make his profit, not from big prices
but by scientific farming whereby he
will get maximum of production
from minimum of ground. He
must specialize on crops that have
the surest market with the least va
ration in price. many of which he
can contract in advance at a GOOD
figure.
The canning industry in many sec
tons will be the salvation Of the

times it happens that ex-soldiers in
