A stranger called upon us Saturday
aud asked for the Shreveport papers.
Said he wanted to tnd the ADVERTISE
ment of an architect. We gave him
the Times, Caucasian and Progress.
He examined them carefully; but
found no such ad, and Of course came
to the conclusion that there were either
no architects in Shreveport or they did
not appreciate the value OF printers

The Good Work Goes On.
Monroe Bulletin.

Monroe Bulletin.
1t is a matter Of profound gratifca-
ton to see how bravely and nobly the
press of the State is speaking out in
favor of honest elections, with the
fewest exceptions. Here and there, an
objector wants delay, or inclines to
beiittle the issue in the interest of the
rings and cliques who hate to give up
tue system OF running uur government
through the dictation of two or three
men who meet together and name the
delegates and run the conventions. It
is but natural that Men 10 possession OF
such extraordinary privileges should be
10th to give them up. But these little
lotteries must go. The great body Of
the people are in earnest. 1t is useless
to dispute about what has been done.
The material question is what shall we
do in the future. Good men have diff
fered about what was expedient and
necessary iu days gone by. But all
good men are agreed now that fraud
and fiction shall be forever destroyed
in Louisiana.
This issue cannot be compromised
nor evaded. With wonderful energy
and unanimity, the people and press
have taken it up and they will not
pause until the honesty and purity Of
the ballot in Louisiana are placed be-
yond the possibility of assault. When
that devout coDsumnatiOn is attained,
the prosperity, happiness and honor OF
the present and future generations of
Louisianians will be safe and ecure

An exchange saws: Any man can
take a newspaper. 1t is the cheapest
thing he car buy. 1t instructs you and
your wife and teaches your children,
and comes to you every week, rain or
shine, calm or storm, bringing you the
best news Of the neighborhood. No
matter what happens it enters your
door as a welcome friend full of sun
shine, cheer and interesting news; it
shortens the long summer days and en-
livens the long winter nights. 1t is
your adviser, your gossip and friend.
No man is just to his wife and chill
dren who does not give them the home
paper to read.
