FALSE RCONOMY.

In our opinion it will be false eco n
omy TO reduce the salary OF
the police force. It would be
a far better move and much
more satisfactory to the force
to abolish the Office of lieutenant and
cut off one patrolman, and let the
salary OF chief and patr olmen remain
as 1t Is. Poor pay, poor service has
almost passed Into a pioverb, and
we do moi hesitate to state that we
believe Shreveport will receive far
better police service with a smaller
number of men who will receive the
present salary, than by retaining the
whole 0umber at the low wages con-
templated.
A lieutenant of police is not an alb
solute requlsit for the Shreveport
force and IN times of financial en-
Darrassment We can get along very
well with six patcolmen. Then why
not make that our toIce, and pay the
men " hich compose it just wages to
perform the service?
1t seems equally bad policy to ex-
pect opr comptroller to perform his ser
wees for much less than his stipulat
ed salary. II is rot every man VINO
understands bookkeeping who can
satisfactorily y perform his duties. To
say nothing OF his being required to

Bottler's Rights Defined.

The question as to whether bother
has right to bottle spirituous liquors
was decided by Judge Bregy of Phila-
delphia in discharging the rule taken
by the Law and Order Society against
Leiber, whose license as bother at
soa North Eighth Street they sought
to have revoked for an alleged viola
ton of the law. Lewis ID. Vail con.
tended that the law confined the bot
tier to brewed and malt liquors, while
John H. Fow and ExJudge Elcock,
on behalf Of Leiber, urged that the
Legislature intended that bottlers could
bottle and sell all kinds of liquors.
Judge Bregy said it was important
that this case should be decided be
fore the license expired on Tuesday
next. He said there was no adjudica-
ted case which touched this matter.
There is no legal definition in the
act of Assembly as to what bother
is. Driven to a common sense dehni-
ton, the Court thought that bother
was person who bottles liquors. Ac-
cording to the act of 1887, he thought
bother has right to bottle spiritu-
Gus, vlnous and malt liquors and sell
them in certain quantities, and the act
Of 1891 says nothing about prohibl-
ting the sale of spirituous and vinous
liquors which he has put up in bottles
himself He thought that where two
acts could run together without incon-
sistency they ought to be so construed
Otherwise, storekeepers and manufac-
turers would be effected Therefore,
taking that view of it, bother would
have right to bottle spirltuous and
vinous liquors. Bottlers pay $500 for
a license and Wholesalers and store
keepers s., 900, The storekeeper man
ifestly has some rights where bother

A simple mode of purifying water is
to sprinkle a tablespoonful of powdered
alum into hogshead Of water, stirring
the water at the same time. This will

circular:
To School DIRECTORS:
What was the length of the annual
school term in your district last year?
Were your schools open seven,
eight, nine or ten months, or were
they closed by the action of your
Board at the end of the minimum
term of six months?
If your Board made provision for
only minimum term of six months
last year. or at any time since you have
been director, what was the motive
that governed the majority of the
members in taking such action?
Was the education of the children
duly considered and emphasized as an
imperative duty on the part Of the
Board and the District before deciding
to close the schools at the end of a
short terml .'".
What excuse was offered for closing
the schools OF your district at the end
of short term of six or seven months
with low tax rate for school pur-
poses1
Do you favor policy, on the plea
of economy, that virtually deprives the
children Of school privileges half the
year and places a barrier in their way
to advancement and which prevents
them from obtaining such an educa-
ton as the public schools afford, or
are you in favor Of a progressive policy
in the administration of the Office of
school director, policy that will re-
suit in having good schools and
longer school terms, and well qualii-
ed teachers honestly compensated for
their services?
These are pertinent questions for
your consideration IN view of the fact
that your voice and vote will deter
mine the policy to be pursued by your
Board in the operation of the schools
Of your district for the ensuing year,
The State has generously increased
the appropriation for the support Of
the public schools to five million dol.

If all directors have a proper con-
