FIGHT FOR BEER AND WINE.
One Resolution is Offered in House
and One in Senate.

The fight is on for light wines and
modification of the Volstead pro-
hibition enforcement act began
Monday night when the upper
house at Baton Rouge convened for
the second week of the special ses-
sion. Senator Williamb F. Durr of
law to be a farce SO far as en-
the eleventh ward, New Orleans, in
troduced resolution to declare the
forcement is concerned and to call
upon the louisiana delegation in
congress to do everything possible
to have it modified to permit Of the
sale of light wines and beer.
Senator J. T. Prowell Of the tenth
ward, New Orleans, had similar
concurrent resolution ready for in
PRODUCTION.
James Barrett of the third ward,
New Orleans, forced the same issue
in the house by introducing the fol-
lowing concurrent resolutions which
went over one day under the rules
"Whereas, the congress of the
United States is at the present time
considering a modification of the
so-called Volstead Act prohibiting
the manufacture of liquors for
beverage purposes containing more
than one-half of l per cent alcohol,
"Whereas, it is the desire of the
majority of the people of this state
that the Volstead Act should be
amended and modified so as to per-
NIT the sale Of light wines and beer
in wholesale quantities under prop
er government restrictions, there
fore, be it
"Resolved, by the house of rep
resentatives of the state of Louisi-
ana, the senate sconcurring, that the
congress of the United States be
requested to modify and amend the
so-called Volstead Act so as to per-
NIT the sale and manufacture of
light wines and beer in wholesale
quantities under government re-
strictions.
The Chief sees no valid reason
why light wines and beer should not
be allowed in package form, but it
does not countenance the return of
the saloon. A meal can be complete
without beer or wine. This has been
demonstrated since the Volstead Act
went into effect. But to that class
of people who have been used to
wine or beer with their meals all
their lives, and know how to drink
it, there does not seem to be any
reason why they should be denied
its use. The same thing applies to
beer. 1t was the abuse of wine and
beer that caused the Volstead Act
to be put into effect-along with
vile whiskey. Had the beer and
wine manufacturers not linked up
with distillers to fight the prohihi-
tion act the chances are that beer and
light wines would be on the market
.oday.

"THE DEVIL"
Written by Franz Molnal

1.-The Devil" at once. became a
sensation in France, which is the
scene of the story. 1t was M
mcdiately translated and became the
rage in Europe.
It was played simultaneously at
three New York theatres; Mr.. Arllss
survived and the play was an Amerl-
can sensation.
The screen has great acquisition
in Mr.. Arliss who for years refused
all offers from motion Picture pro-
ducers.
The New York Herald says:
"Mr George Arliss has put all OF
his world-renowned and world-ad-
mired art; all of his fire anu imagl-
nation; all of his skill and experien-
ces in character study anad delinea-
ton, into a marvellous screen concep-
ton of ':The Devil,' the same
character he depicted to such thun-
derous applause at the Belasco thea
tre in the mighty and magnificent
production of this great play.
''It is masterpiece Of drama. A
gorgeous, fascinating, luxurious pro-
duction, brilliant in it's charm, intoxl-
eating sin it's dramatic fervor.
This wonderful production will be
the offering at the Grand Theatre
next Tuesday.

DON'T RISK NEGLECT.

Don't neglect constant backache,
sharp, darting pains or urinary dis
orders. The danger of dropsy or
Bright's disease is too serious to ig-
more. Use Doan's Kidney Pills as
have your friends and neighbors. Ask
your neighbor. A Donaldsonville
case:
Mrs. Ulysses P. Acosta, 314 Clai-
borne street, says: "Some time ago [
suffered a great deal of misery with
my back. The trouble came on me
suddenly and | can't say what
brought it on, unless | overlifted
without noting the effect of it right
away. I couldn't remain on my feet
any length of time without sharp
pains going through the small of my
back and into my lower limbs. I had
frequent nervous headaches and they
often caused my sight to blur and
made me dizzy. My kidneys didn't
act right, either, so l began to use
Doan's Kidney Pills, which I got at
the Palace Drug Store. Doan's help
ed me in few days, and three boxes
Effected a permanent cure. Doan's
are fine medicine"

Rice Situation at Crowley.

This is about between seasons for
the rice men. About all of the ear
lier rices are in and it is just a little
early for the later varieties, says
the Crowley Signal. At the associa-
|tion Office of the American Rice
Growers Association, however, there
was quite a bit of interest shown in
the 1000 bags that were-offered at
3 p. m. Thursday. The prices ranged
from $3.50 for Nos. / and 2 to 1885
for Nos. 3 and for the Early Pro-
life, ,sand the one lot of Honduras
belonging to Alcide Thibodeaux, con-
sisting of 1877 bags, brought the top
price of the season The Standard
Rice Company got the lot for $4.07
and $3.50. There were three other
lots, and all of this was bought by the
same company. The other lots be-
longed to A. Leley of Estherwood,
?. Thibodeaux of Morse and Arclide

Ell to say that s'while the local
Rager of the saenger interests,
W1ch controls the Saenger and Ly-

ficially notified to that effect, 1t is
considered certain that no more Ar

From New Orleans comes the news
that all pictures featuring "Fatty' |

ment Company in that city pending
the outcome of the charges hIed
against the comedian.
It is not for The Chief to pass
hasty judgement on the Arbuckle
situation, but from all accounts the
charge against the comedian, even
though it falls fiat, will not have a
tendency to elevate his popularity
in the minds of the public.
| News has also been received to the
effect that Arbuckle has been dropped
from the membership roll of the Los
Angeles Atheletic Club, an exclusive
organization.
