Now of course. THE PROGRESS
would not infer even that all our
church members patronize the bars
or even drink at all.
There are many consecrated
Christian men who are true to eve
ry vow of the church, morals and
the Master; but some of these do
not exert their m erals andChristian
influence to prevent their own
membership from keeping up
the business of the saloon keeper.

What $4,000 Will DO.

Your editorial in the issue of
August 18th, has suggested the
following thoughts:
1t is generally admitted that the
building Of the Edenborne road to
Coushatta will benefit only the
wholesale people and the compress
SEES; and a few large land owners
in BOssier parish, whose levee
untillat le swamp lands will be
laid Off into town sites and sold for
about $1,000 an acre, where cOun-
try stores, saloons and hotels will
be established to draw the retail
trade from Shreveport; SIC, 200 do
mated to Mr.. EdenbOrnc will ena-
bic him to build this local road
without expanding a dollar of his
own money.
$4,000 if divided up in equal
parts and given to three woodwork
ing enterprises. Il furniture fac
tory, a wood and willewware fac
tory, and Il cooperage factory
employing 300 hands in the aggre-
gate-would benefit Shreveport
AID her people.
$4,000 would induce large cot
ton factory, employing 300 or 400
hands to locate here.
$4,000 if offered as a donation,
as Mr.. Edenborne proposes, would
locate 300 families of small far
mers, vegetable and fruit growers,
in Shreveport territory. These in
dustries would give employment to
300 families more during the
gathering season and would en-
nance the value Of adjoining pro-
perty two-fold, besides creating
money producing crops for every
season of the year.
$4,000 would induce some large
shoe factory, which would employ
hundreds of men, women and
children to locate here.
$4,000 if invested in any of these
enterprises would furnish tenants
for Shreveport houses; customers
for Shreveport merchants; en-
ployment for Shreveport people
patients for Shreveport doctors;
readers for Shreveport newspa-
pers; and taxpayers for the city of
Shreveport.
$4,000 invested in Edenborne
road will enrich a ST. Louis CAPT.
talist to that amount; will enhance
the value of Bossier parish pro-
perty; will build small towns and
villages to attract the small trade
from Shreveport; will increase
the tax receipts of Bossier parish,
and will pauperize Shreveport so
far as offering inducements to To-

WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO2

Recently gentleman Of this city
was heard to arraign the newspa-
pers here because he said that Ii
quor was openly sold to minors
and yet not paper in Shreveport
ever had word to say in reprov-
al of it,
Another who heard the remark

cause l distinctly remember that

up, denounced the illegal acts and
even called the names of the sa-
loon men who were doing so. |

GRESS and l remember this very
distinctly
swell, repIicdi the critic, that is
true, but that was only a sporo-
adic effect
Both gentlemen were correct.
1t is violation Of law to sell Ii
quor to minors, unauthorized
by their parents to purchase it.
Knowing this to be so, THE PRO-
GREss, without any feeling in the
matter, took the question up and
pointed out the places where it was
being done. What was the result?
Not parent, that we heard of,
paid the slightest attention to it,
Men who had boys from II to IS
years Of age out ut night, paid no
heed to their whereabouts, nor the
company they kept, nor the con-
dition they were in when they
came home. In palmer words
they tacitly sanctioned the sale of
liquors to their sons.
Then what course was left to
THE PROGRESS as a journal which
likes to deal justly and fairly
with every man?
Hound the saloon keeper and
hold him up before the public as a
wanton law-breaker? Not so.
Our paper has never, knowing
ly, done this. 1t has never tried
to be a sensational newspaper.
1t has never made public issue on
any man or subject for the sole
purpose of being talked about, or
wounding the feelings of others.
Unless public good can be done,
we have refrained from comment |
ing on questions, though they |
may be in contravention of law,
when their illegal commissions
were winkcd at and indorsed by
community.
We are sick and tired of this
continual harping upon the sin

Havana, June 4.-The angry feeling
against Americans in Cuba is increas-

of Some of the newspapers in Cuba.
The Diario de la Marina shows Bit
terness against the American newspaper
correspondents who have been sending
reports to their papers of the Calhoun
Lee-Congosta investigation into the
death Of DR.. Ricardo Ruiz. a naturale
lied American citizen. The Diario says
these correspondents are indiscreet and
that they have sources of information
not reached by the Diario.
The Diario also charges the American
newspaper men with sending out fan
tastic reports and with concealing the
real truth. which it claims is very IA
vorable to Spain.
The newspaper trains it's journalistic
guns upon the United States consul
general, Lee charging him with ignO-

EUROPEAN FOOD SHORTAGE.

V1Oo8V O0OO 0yu0hC060s
SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Aug. s6.-An
extensive inquiry into European crop
conditions conducted by the Orange
Judd syndicate Of agricultural papers,
including the American Agriculturist Of
New York, the Orange Judd Farmer Of
Chicago, and the New England Home
stead of Springfield, Mass., indicates
that tho food crop situation abroad is
very grave. Estimates Of Europe's
(including England needs on wheatim.
ports range all the way from 800. .000, 900
to 400, ,000, 900 bushels. Europe's wheat
crops for 1896, 1894, and 1898 averaged
about 1900. .000, 600 bushels. In the
famine year Of 1891, it was only 1900.
100000. The impression is gaining
ground that Europe's wheat crop this
year Is even less than in 1891. But this
is not the worst Of it.
Europe usually produces as much rye
as she does wheat. It is the bread
grain Of the masses. The rye crop Of
the principal European countries {Rus.
sia, Germany, France. Austria, Bull
garia, Roumania and Italy and the Low
Countries and Sweden) has averaged
about 1900, ,0O0. 900 bushels annually for
1895, 1896, 1894 and 1893. This season
the rye crop of these countries cannot
much exceed S75. .000, 600 bushels. Quite
as bad is the potato prospect. Only
about $50, 100000 bushels Of potatoes
will be harvested in these countries this
year. Without regard to the United
Kingdom, or other European countries,
there is a shortage Of some 1000, 900. 900
bushels Of potatoes. European short
age compared with average follows: 81.
Wheat 800, 100000 bushels; rye 1885,
100000 bushels; potatoes 1000, 600, 600
bushels. Total 1896, 900, 900 bushels.
