French Opera Artists

Natchitoches, noted for her cul-
tured, music loving citizenship, liv-
ed up to her reputation by the large
appreciative audience which gath
cred from many sections of the pa
rish filling the Amusu Friday night
to its full seating capacity, when
four French Opera Artists gave a
concert of the highest order.
These artists were most gracious
in responding to the thunderous
applause and stated that such re
sponsive, ,Iappreciative audience in
spired them in every way and they
were delighted to give the encores
which pleased every one.
Selections were given from sew
eral of the grand operas in costume
Osvalleria, Carmen, Pagliacci and
Faust. and their splendid DRAM
attic Interpretation of the different
roles added much to the charm of
their music.
Nine. CasseI's charming person.
ality and gracsousness were as
pleasing as her Splendid lyric So
prano voice the timbre of which Is
unusual while Mons. Pau[us'
and Milhau's magnificent voices en-
raptured the audience.
Nine. Richie, the pianist, is an
artist in every sense of the word,
whose accompapiments are as much
of artistic treats, as her wonderful
solo work.
Our people showed beyond a
doubt their thorough enjoyment
of French opera music and singers
and it is hoped that they will have
many opportunities to hear pro-
grams of this order in the seaso.s
to come.

RATIFICATION CERTAIN.

Suffrage headquarters in New
Orleans is receiving assurances
from every section of LonIsian
that rnm;ses victory when the
lrui iature meets next month.
With both of the New Orleans
factions pledging SUPPORT and Mr..
Parker maintaining a hands off
policy. the Leaders view the out
come with supreme confidence.
Among the many letters and
messages that have appeared In
the press thereby deiighting' these
interested in the ratification, none
have pleased more than the fol
i,win. from two of our gallant
men:
A letter from Phanor Breazeale of
Natchitoches, erstwhile candidate for
governor, created enthusiasm at head
quarters. it read:
ut is impossible for me to appre-
ciate the logic of Governor Pleasant a
argument.
"The fifteenth amendment prohibits
the several States from abridging the
right to vote on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude.
VIEWS OF MR.. BREAZEALE
'.The nineteenth amendment, sep
arate and distinct from the fifteenth
simply provides that the several States
shall not abridge the right to vote on
account Of sex. am too dense to
appreciate the connection between the
two as argued by the governor. Nor
can | agree with him that l would be
estopped from fighting force bill if l
voted for the nineteenth amendment.
No such consequences can happen as
feared by the governor if the sex
amendment is adopted by this State.
However, if by any possibility the
governor is correct. it furnishes me
with an additional and imperative rea-
son to hasten the adoption of the
amendment. / want this trouble pre-
dicted by the governor to come now,
while am alive, so can take hand
in meeting it and help to settle it as
helped To settle the same trouble forty
years ago, end desire to aid in reaf-
firming the principle that this is
white mans country and That the
white man shall rule it for all time to
come"

While have said and witten 50 much
on the subject of Woman Suffrage,
that feel there's nothing could possi-
bly, add to what has gone before, still
as you have asked am glad to comply
by writing this letter.
Our fellow citizen Mr.. Breazeale,
Ex-Gov. Hall and Mr.. Caffery have
gone over this subject so fully that Que
who is not convinced by what they
have pointed out, could hardly be con-
vinced by what might say. Be this
as it may. Beginning with Rousseau =
Social Contract. there is no student
of civil government, who can reach
any other conclusion than that reached
by Ex. Governor Hall, who now speaks
from the Office OF the Attorney Gener-
al of Louisiana. That to substitute
the word Person" for the word
"Ma'e" il, the Federal Constitution, can
! IN the least affect the negro question.
the .anguage now covers the males,
the change would simply include the fr
males. The situation then would be in
no wi,aschangsd. This il 50 perfectly
cloar slat o.,e is tempted to look with
suspicion on the contention of those
who oppose the direct ratification of tn !.
FEDERAL Amendment, and insist on the
reference to an election. This is the
only way the City ring could have an
opportunity to again defeat it as they
did once before.
That the thirty y-sixth state will be

person for a moment doubts. confess

fore, rather than follow behind | con-
fess that have great pride in my state
and want TO see its action commented
on flvorably by the best thought in the
land. This same desire made me sup
port Parker for Governor, and for my
services have been amply rewarded.
The number Of kilograms which poured
into him ard the state from all over
the Union has had no parallel since l
have been voter.
The failure to allow women the right
to vote is simply survival Of the con.
ditions prevailing when Government
was by force. and in those days as wo.
men did not fight, they had no part in
Government. am sorry, Louisiana has
not been one Of the first in place Of the

claims to having attained ripe old age
and worthy of the respect and dignity
attaching to hoary antiquity, to come
to Natchitoches and take squint at

document recorded in 1S43 as sample
of one Of the youthful members of the
