greatest thing Of interest to people
yet.
The parade which has been keen.
ly looked forward to was held last

larger and longer than 1t was ex.
pected to be. 1t was probably the
longest parade ever to be formed
In this city. Leading was a scou:
Of the local troop carrying the
American flag. Other scouts were
protectors of the flag bearer. Fol
lowing the scouts was the military
drum corps which played suitable
music, After the drum corps was

We're more than hundred in ali

he said, went to smash because Of
her many .Verbodeps." He con.
tinued in effect:
We only know Of other countries
through their masterpieces. We
don't think Of Italy in terms Of
mineral wealth. What do we know
France best for. Isn't It as a nation
artistic-for her wonderful cos
tunes, sculpture, great pictures,
great literature-as a nation exalted
by her finest things. There is ma,
chinery at work which makes this
possible, which makes any nation
exceptional.
There are always blood strains,
environmental possibilities which
are exceptional. We should find
them in human beings and give them
opportunity. 1t is more important
to find half dozen young men or
women who are possible geniuses
that 1000 others. 1t means simply
asking a nation to think construc-
lively in a big way, Greece and
Rome knew how to do 1t, France
is great believer in human beings
She believes not only in increasing
the number of inhabitants but in
improving the quality.

child in an individual home under
the care OF q motherly heart and

There was once a child like this

inspector visited to learn the con-
dition OF the home and some thing

family were toymakers and When
the boy was nine he tried to iuli'

association, the women,s club, the
Rotary and the Kiwanis cubs in
order that ideas may be exchanged

in regard to the clinic be made
known.
Local dentists have successfully
conducted free clinic during the
year which will be brought to a
close with the close OF the school
year and unless the county votes

the clinics will not be resumed mex,
year. The recent session Of the
legislature passed the dental clinic
bill putting It up to the counties ID
hold referendum vote as to wheth.

on property to care for the clinic
Should public sentiment prove
favorable the dental society pro-
poses TO ask the county court to

Chief Justice Edward Douglass
White was, strictly speaking, the
lone representative Of the south on
the supreme bench for a number Of
years.
Coming from family Of Judges
his father and grandfather before
him having been on the bench,
dicial Inheritance as well as legal
training. His knowledge OF Lne
civil law was generally regarded as
the most profound Of any man that
ever sat on the bench of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States.
He developed a specially for ques-
tons of interstate commerce and his
contribution to the law Of the land
probably will be a permanent one.
He was born In the parish Of La
fourche, La, November 8, 1916,
His parents were Catholics and he
was Of that faith. His education
was In Catholic institutions. In his
early youth he attended the school
at Mount st. Mary's near Emmits-
burg, Md, later he entered the Jes-
uit college in New Orleans and H.
nally he went to Georgetown COL
lege at Washington, D. c.
Chief Justice White served in the
Confederate army during the Civil
War; practiced law among the peo-
pie OF Louisiana, and became q SUI
gar planter on it's lowlands. His
ability and high character we're
recognized by the people in repeat
ed commissions us public official.
In 1874 he was elected as senator
in the Louisiana legislature. Four
years later he was appointed as
sociate judge Of the Supreme Court
of that state. y
In 1891 Mr.. White became a ma
tional figure. A senatorial contest
was Yaged in Louisiana and he en-
tered the race. He had managed
the campaign Of Governor Nichols
for reelection and had been promi-
nent in the reform element OF Louis
lana. He had fought vigorously in
favor of the anti-lottery movement
The legislature finally chose him
to succeed Senator Eustis.
Chief Justice White was in the
senate three years before he was
elevated to the bench OF the Su-
preme Court 81 the United States
by President Cleveland in 1894.
During that period he distinguished
himself on two occasions. Once he
was in the debate on the anti-option
law when Senator White made a
profound legal argument against
the constltutionality Of the meas
lure. The other occasion was dur
ing the struggle over the repeal OF
the Sherman act, when he advo-
Gated the views President Cleveland
was known to entertain on the. sub
ject. His nomination to the bench
ended a memorable contest IN the
senate. Two New Workers. had been
nominated by President Cleveland,
but both failed Of confirmation.
Throwing to the winds the custom
which for SS years had kept'a New
York man on the bench, Mr. oleve-
Hand named Senator White. He was
confirmed within an hour.
Almost-as unusual as his appoint

The state persisted tho evidence
OF what had happened before the
shooting should not be placed be.
fore the Jury. While attorneys on
both sides were arguing the mat.
ter in heated fashion, the fury was
excused from the room to avoid
prejudice either way.
The court room was well filled
today with spectators. Some time
during the trial II the defense can
manage 1t, the small diary which is
now the strongest evidence avail
able will be read outlodd by an in.
terpretor. This diary, a small worn
booklet with trayed edges, plays a
very big part In the tense drama.
This book was founder the person
OF Frank Tascone after his death
and was introduced as evidence at
the inquest.
1t contains reproduced sketches
written in Italian Of the most i'm.
portant happenings in this lives OF
both TaScone and the daughter OF
Angelo, Mary. The stories state
explicitly that relations between
the little nine year old girl and
the grown man. were anything but
moral, but they are so told that
there is much doubt that they are
true. So stark in their naked
hideousness are they that the inter.
gretor dreaded the reading OF them.
II don't see how ! can possibly do
It," she said. They are not only
unreliable. They are unprlntable.
But duty Is duty and Ill have to go
through It."
The diary covers q period from
1914 until 1921. Mary says she is
16. That would make her nine
when sh efirst met Tascone. In the
from tof the diary is a postal card
picture Of Mary dressed in velvet
coat and fur collar and big velvet
hat. Under the picture is written:
"Sweethearts together" On the
fly leaf are the words: Record Of
my life with Mary Damico." On
the next page is: 1.-THE first day."
Following this Is the first story
which takes the form Of a reminis.
cence as though Tascone were
speaking directly to the girl. He
says: DO you remember the first
day Then follows a full state
ment Of just what the writer says
occurred when the little nine year
old girl was induced to place her
self In the hands OF the man who
was then 7years Of age. The sec.
ond story under date a few weeks
later starts In the same manner.
Each brief sketch thereafter starts
with the do you remember-?"
The diary does not record Incl.
dents every. day. Sometimes a
month Is skipped. Sometimes six
months. Often Just few weeks.
IN one instance a year passes be.
