MADAM RUMOR SAYS

the unfortunates of town, is enough
to place the one who gave them ut
terance beneath the contempt of a
convict.
That If the true natures of some of
Sbreveport's monied men were made
public, instead Of heaping adulation
on them to induce them to give some
thing for public enterprises, the town
would he larger now by about 10000
inhabitants They wouldn't be big
men then aud able to block progress
sion.
That She advocates making public
the names of all the men and stock
holders of the FAIR Association who
are trying to prevent the citys ac-
quiring these grounds for a park, so
they can gobble them for a specula-
ton.
That only two men in Shreveport
are allowed to wautonly aud boldly
violate the city ordinance restricting
Il certain class of tenants to certain
districts, and these two are the 5th
Ward councilman and his agent.
That the 5th Ward councilman is
mayor, council, chief of police and
city administration generally. with
his agent as second in command. |
That it is just little unjust and
discriminatlngLthat attendants at the
Methodist church, composed Of |
some of the most refined ladies and |
gentlemen in the town and some Of |
the city's largest taxpayers, should |
have to submit to the location of |
brothels almost at its very door, sim
ply because the 5th Ward council
man and his agent elects to have it
SO.
That She hopes the police jury will
not stop work on the courthouse
square until four concrete sidewalks
border it, ,and four. walks of the same
lead to the entrances.
That when.it. comes to laying cross
ngs The PROGREss is not i'll il. For
roof witness the skips now going on
N Texas street.
That ideas of great achievements
iffer very materially. For instance, :
he thinks a parent has far from {
hown his greatness when he Whips
is child just to show his power, and 1
ays some Of the acts of our police t
lry comport very strongly of this a
lea and spirit.
That the laying of crossings on r
Iarket street across Texas to a sa- t
'on, along Edwards across Texas d
ON saloon to saloon, along Louisi- d
IA across Texas to saloon is only a n
of course. but in view of i
10 fact that one ia front of the court 81
Duse square was refused because it W
ould benefit Mr.. Ii. +. Doll, who pays
vice as much taxes as the entire four
entioned here combined, it looks
tile inconsistent.
That our city council reminds one q
Try much Of an eagle on the wing: l.
rst over the mountain tops and then 81
the valleys. In some measures the q
embers display exalted statesman N
Zip, in other ways they descend as g
w as any bigotled, despotic ruler of "
barbaric tribe ever thinks of at p
/
That the putting down of brick z
utters on Texas street between Loui- b
ana aud McNiel adds much to the S
ppeaIance of that thoroughfare In u
lat block. and the example should be Il
,llowed by every property owner on q
lat street. o
That if those Fair Association
5ock holders who only paid SO per
ent for their stock persist in de- /;
100 per cent, the city could
'ell reconvene by buying another '
tie for holding fairs. I
That She doesn't want the Fair I
Irounds committee to be whipped
ut, but to secure the names of those $
no are trying to prevent the sale to I
he city, so they can be published and
It the public know who they are. a
That if it would be legal to kill a
bout six of our monied men, and I
len a committee would do it, Shreve- q
ort would be the foremost city in r
