andria is too small, a long ways
too small. Why man, that's the
main objection to Baton Rouge.
The capital should be some place
where the hotels are numerous
enough to prevent exorbitant
charges. Why during the big ex-
position New Orleans rates were
less than Baton Rouge charges
during session of Legislature.

OUR GRAND JURY.


The present grand jury is COM
posed of excellent men, men VINO
would love to have the laws en-
forced, not in q manner which
would imbibe persecution, but to
healthful extent that would have
salutary effect. Knowing this TO
be true The Progress was in hopes
that Judge Land would make it a
matter of strong Importance to
speak of the gross violations OF the
law in respect to the selling OF
LIQUOR to minors. This law is said
to be practically dead in Shreve-
port. OF this our Judge could not
have been ignorant because the
last grand jury was very decisive
in it's denunciation and finding Of
bills therefor. It was a very great
surprise therefore, land a still great
er disappointing t, that our usually
watchful Judge passed the matter
by with no more emphasis than
any other portion of his charge,
all of which was singularIy free
from stress.
Now as far as The Progress is
concerned there are thousands OF
fathers and mothers in Shreveport
who are far more Interested in this
subject than is anyone connected
with it, Our editor has no person.
al interest in the matter At all, has
no one to be debauched by the vio-
lation of this law. Hence we do
not propose to bring down on our

engaged in the unlawful practice,

INDUSTRIAL EQUALITY.
HARRIETTE A. KEYsER SAYS THAT WOMEN
LACK COURAGE

political equality is Industrial lever" says
Harrette A. Keyser. the ardent woman suffragist
The elective franchise has made Il possible Tor
men to organize for industrial interests. The on
ward progress OF industrialism Is hndered because
the disfranchsed woman. political cipher. works
by the side OF the enfranchised man. a political
unit. at lower rate OF wage. except under close
" organized union conditions such the cigar
makers where women receive the same wages as
men.
Some declare that industrial organization Is
sufficient. But women do not and will not, without
the franchise. organize to any great extent. Women
lack courage just dis!ranchised men were lack
ing in that trait O. character The man finds nee
essary for his Industrial life the ballot and the
trades-union. Why should It be thought sufficient
for a woman TO have but the trades-nn.on? The
great labor organizations. the Federation OF Labor
knights OF Labor and the Central Labor Union
do not consider industrial organization sufficient for
working women and have in their platforms TWO
planks-equa suffrage and equal pay for equal
work An organization without the eaua-sufrrage
plank will generally be found 70 represen; heavy
trade such as brcklaying. rot followed by women
in this country. therefore no competition with dis
franchisement need be feared
That mems wages are suffering from an inhux

be that the time is not far distant when organ

Organized labor is busy everywhere contendng with

for there are industries where women are superior

upon one the employer must be impaed Either the
woman Is engaged because she IL cheaper or De-
cause she IL better II the latter why does she re-
