ARTHUR CAMPBELL.
Arthur Campbell is dead.

Arthur Campbell lS dead.
Those were the words that, though
daily expected for almost three weeks,
sent thrill OF sorrow-deep, sincere
sorrow-through the hearts OF the people
OF Crystal Falls Thursday morning.
Arthur was kicked ON the head by a
horse Friday morning, April %. The
blow was terrible one, crushing the
side OF the head and cracking the skull
all the way around. Few men would
ever have moved a muscle after such n
blow, but Arthur was young, robust,
strong, II perfect specimen OF physical
manhood, and for almost three weeks
struggled hopeessly against the in
evitable. result OF his terrible injury.
But in spite OF the careful attendance OF
physicians, OF loving parents, relatives
and friends, the iron constitution wore
away. At 1l:50 O'Clock Wednesday
night, Gods surgeon, in the euise OF
death, stepped softly, silently to the
bedside OF the youthful sufferer and thc
wound was forever healed. Never since
the awful accident did he recover sui
iiciently to speak.
All who knew Arthur Campbell adj
mired, respected and loved him. His
friends were numbered by his acquaint-
ance. Those who knew him since his
boyhood, the writer included, never
heard his name mentioned in anger. For
him none had anght but words of praise.
BY his elders he was liked and respected
by his companions he was loved and
respected by his juniors lac was looked
up To with admiration and respect.
Aud all was meritcd.
Among his companions he was man.
At home with his parents he was their
boy Arthur. An only son, his parents
thought not OF future whose brightest
dreams were not Iondly entwined in the
life OF their boy. Their lightest wish was
his wish. Their lightest command was
obcyed as promptly by the young man
as ever Il parents command was obcyed
by dutiiul boy. Always stra iehtior-
ward and aifectionate with them, Inc was
lhclr luOl.
The parents loss cannot be told. No
pen can portray it. They have now
suffered the greatest loss that they can
ever know. Their only son, who for
twenty-six years they had carefully
trained and educated TO fll an honor
able position in life, in whom the hopes
oI their declining years were centered, is
taken from them. The loss of son to
parents who have other sons is hard to
bear, but often healed by time and the
attentionpaid the surviving sons, but To
those who had but the one-and he such
"A noble and promising one-there is left
n heart ache that will never cease.
Never while the bereaved parents live,
never while they have n mind to remem-
ber the loss, will they cease TO mourn

Arthur Campbell. son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. G.. Campbell, was born near Des
Moincs, Iowa, March II, 1871. While
still a child he removed with his par
ents To lower Michigan, and camc to
Crystal Falls eleven years ago, Here he
graduated from the Crystal Falls high
school Ia 1889. In 1891 he graduated
from the school OF pharmacy, University
of Michigan, with the degree Of Ph. q.
Returning to Crystal Falls he engaged
temporarily in the drug business i'm con
nection with his father. During the busi.
ness depression that soon followed the
store was closed and he went To Chicago,
where he was employed rs prescription
clerk for two years. In the fall of 1890
he returned 30 Crystal Falls and has
since assisted his father IN his logging
operations on the Deer river. Ambi.

can afford to increase the amount of
the city tax if the road be run through
Caddo parish, because this increased
amount of assessable parish property
may reduce correspondingly their
parish taxes. But carried down the
Bossier side, it means an additional
tax withuot a reciprocal reduction an
increased tax for the sole benefit of
a few, and yet when these protest,
their ''selfishness takes the cake
Now friend onsistcntly-whosc
selfishncss takes the cake in fact?
Again, the gentleman said: s.This
road is to come do WIN from Arkansas
on the west side of the river, running
through forty miles of Caddo parish
before reaching Shreveport. etc.
In this statement the gentleman is
most emphatically in error, or Mr..
Edenborne doesn't know his own
mind or business. One of the COM
mittee, Mr.. l.. NJ. Carter, told this
writer that Mr.. Edenborne expressed
himself as wanting to be distinctly
understood that that road from the
Arkansas line, etc. had nothing to
do with his proposition to build this
Valley road from Shreveport to Cou-
shatta. In fact we gather that he inn
impressed Mr.. Carter with the idea
that he was not connected with that
road at all, and first spoke of build
ing from Bossier City to Coushatta.
No. The PROGRESS stands on its
first proposition. No one seems to
know just what Mr.. Edenborne did
promise.
But THE PROGRESS will submit this
proposition. There are among those
who favor going down the Ecssier
side, a sufficient number who have re-
fused to sign the school house tax
whose signatures thereto will enable
the committee to build these school
houses. Let the friends of the rail-
road go to them, get their signatures,
and then all practical opposition will
be withdrawn. Do this. and The
PROGRESS will assist you with all its
might with your railroad. But if not,
there will be no good reason why
400 taxpayers should place an UNI
necessary burden upon themselves for
the accommodation and direct inter-
est of 100. These 400 want public
school houses: their children need
them: the health and comfort of their

come about. Not to a certa inty, be
cause such things are generally con-
lecture at best, but give plausible
reason why these thi ngs will be so.
Candidly, The PROGRESS don't believe
it can be done.
This is question which should be
discussed with tolerance and in
public-spirited way. Every taxpayer
should be accorded free speech on
the subject: for while all may not be
able to employ fhe eloquent grammar
and graceful diction that some who
advocate the measure may be gifted
enough to use, still as the uncouth
person will have to assist in the pay
ing, he is, by law human and divine,
al liberty to express his views without
fear of ridicule or frowning intimida-
ton.
In the beginning it was proposed
by the leading advocates. the most of
whom arc the personal friends of the
editor Of this paper, that all view this
proposition from the standpoint of
citizen who was willing to sacrifice
personal feelings for the general well
fare. This was the right spirit, and
The PROGRESS shall not be drawn or
driven from it by personal interest or
the lash Of the opposition. But, in
all candor. have the advocates and
friends of the enterprise adhered to
this tacit agreement! If SO, how is
this? The Times reported one gen
tleman as saying the selfshness of
those who favor the Caddo side takes
the cake'.'' The Times is very
friendly to the gentleman publicly.
and hence it evidently quoted him
correctly. And the Caucasian, in
giving report of this speech, said it
was received with applause, The
Caucasian is usually very correct in
making statements of this kind, and
we therefore assume it was equally SO
in this case. And if this speech was
greeted by applause, it is naturally to
be inferred that the gentlemen present
though we learn there were but few,
variously estimated at IS by conser-
natives, $50 by enthusiasts-indorsed
what was said, including the declara-
ton .sthe selhshness of those who ia
vor the Caddo side takes the cake"
And this is the kind of argument that
is to be used by the advocates to whip
the honest, progressive majority into
line. this is what the few are saving

in a conservative, public-spirited
mood! The PROGRESS must express
its surprise at this course. adopted by
gentlemen from whom the public ex-
peCted more tolerance, more consid-
Grafton for an honest. intelligent diff
ference of opinion; from whom the
people expected more tact in winning
others to their side of cause. This
whipping with the rude lash of the
slave-driver, has lost it's terrors for the
people of our city and parish. who
have long since learned to assert their
manhood on publ c questions.
But even such attempts, such
speeches and such a cause shall not
drive The PROGRESS from the position
it should occupy as public journal,
whose duty is to promote that which
will benefit the many at the expense
Of the few if need be; not to reverse
this well established doctrine Of Amer

this project-as we see it-are striving
to do. And we will enter into a little
calculation and ascertain. if we can.
whose selfishness it is, on this occa-
sion, which takes that provcrbial
cake?.
Our editor heard a warm personal
friend of the author of that remark
say that he, the said author, owned
about a thousand acres of land in Bos
sier parish. This was said in reply to a
query addressed by gentleman in
our editors presence. The friend
said he couldn't see how the court
house speaker could be directly bene-
fitted by this railroad, though he did
own thousand acres of land in Bos-
sier. Then the well-posted man said,
III evil be interested in the assistance
which this road will give to his plan
tation in the nature of levees: he will
be interested in the levee tax which
the railroad will have to pay
Again, this road will directly bene-
fit about fifty people, or one hundred
at the very outside. 1t will Indirect
help comparatively few, if any. 1t
will be a direct loss to 1900 or 400
people. This is our candid opinion.
OF these a large number are laborers
and mechanics who do not work more
than half the time and then at small

cause fhe necessary number of sign

PROGRESS will present this from that
standpoint.
Our people have reached their
weary point on this proposition over
the statements of men and papers that
they have assisted and advocated the
acquisition of every enterprise which
has knocked at the door of Shrevc-
port. Every individual is allowed to

ready exceeded the limit, this paper
will not again insert the l.ncet into
the tired part OF our citizens anatomy
by gushing on the subject.
While The PROGRESS has had its
Indignation aroused by the intoerant
speeches and writings of men and pa
pers who are advocating vote Of the

such things, in the interest of the pub
lie good. We have given this subject
the most careful study and now we
are as far from seeing the benefits
which our city will derive, as a whole,
from this road, as we were at the be-
ginning. We have listened patiently
to street and office talks on the sub
jet; we have read carefully the re-
ported speeches of those who advoca-
ted it at the courthouse meeting
we have as carefully read what the
two newspapers here which advocate
the railroad have had to say, and
while we give them due credit for
honesty of purpose, they fail to say
anything that would convince any one
not directly and personally interested
in this road. This is fairly and hon
estly as The PROGRESS sees and
weighs their articles in its favor.
We would be glad to have pointed
out the benefits that the retail mer-
chants. the day laborers, the masons,
carpenters, tin-workers, and all classes
of artisans will receive by voting this
tax on themselves to secure this road.
We mean by this, that we would like

American Travellers Opportunities
Abroad,

There is splendid future field for the
American commercial traveller in forclpn
countries, and this fact is realized by many
young men who have such career in con-
temptation. says the Commercial Traveller
Great Efforts are being made all through
'he United States to increase the exports
OF American industrial products and these
eiorts are materially promoted by sug-
res lions received from varioua United
states consular officers in all parts of the
World. Mi Louis Stern. United States COM
mercial agent at Bamborg, Germany, has
made careful study Of the subject. One
oil the essential qualifications of an Ameri-
can commercial traveller abroad is familiar

which he intends to oporate Mr. Stern
calls attention to the necessity that such
a man should have thorough knowledge
OF the branch of trade he represents, and
it Ia above all necessary that he should
know his competitors; know not only their
weak but their strong points. These are
points OF knowledge thai can never be ac-
uuired by even the most Intelligent bust

and prices they can only be acquired by

this way that the Germans have opened up
