HOOKING INTO THE FUTURE A
SOURCE OF SUCCESS.

Clement a. Griscom is typical of that
class of Americans who, starting without
wealth or influence, have become cap
tains Of industry by sheer force of hard
work consistently directed toward one
end. He is one of the richest men in the
Uniled States, yet he began life with
practically no capital other than good
blood and wholesome habits.
His success, says writer in the May
Cosmopolitan, has been due to several
things. Singleness of purpose, business
tact perseverance, infinite capacity for
hard workall have played part IN il
Rt1 with these has gone yet another

A TALE OF THE WAR.

The Times-Democrat says: Out in
Chattanooga they tell this story of civil
war days: Chattanooga creek was the
dividing line between the outposts of the
Federal and Confederate armies, and
during lull in hostilities the pickets of
both cultivated one another's acquaint-
ance, having agreed not to fire on 'one
another. One day when the captain of
the Union guard saw General Grant with
his staff approaching he said to his men :
Turn out the guard for the command
ing general" The Confederates on the
other side of "the creek, not more than
fifty feet away, heard the order, and
their captain conceiving the idea of pay
ing compliment to the enemy, shouted ::
Turn Out the guard for the command
ing general of the Federal army The
ragged Confederate pickets stood at at
teton for several minutes, and then
saluted General Grant as he rode away

THE ISSUE IN LOUISIANA.

The issue political in Louisiana is not
the nomination and the election of a
governor and State officials, but whether
the people instead of a eoterie of politi-
clans shall govern? The influence of the
Governor through the appointive power
is almost beyond computation. This
power was vested in the Governor at a
time when danger of control was threat
ened through Republican success, but
since the Democracy has assumed full
possession, from which it could not be
divested except through revolution by
the people, it is patent that the authority
OF appointment then vested in the Gov
.ernor should be returned to the Democ-
raeq, which in Louisiana is the people
How much longer shall this travesty Of
Democracy be indulged to continue ar
|oligarchy which is odious to all mer
who would be free?

A PLEA FOR PROGRESS
The Street Paving and the City Hall
Propositions

The property taxpayers of the city of
Shreveport will have the right to ap-
prove or reject, on Tuesday, May -,
the proposition for street paving and
the construction of a city hall, the two
prominent questions, which should be
carried by majority in number and
amount of valuation The city of
Shreveport, in its corporate existence,
has reached the stage where internal
improvements, suggested and designed
for the betterment of the community,
should be approved The worlds eye, as
it were, is upon us watching keenly the
action of the people and in reaching a
conclusion every taxpayer should be-
governed by the benefits which are to
accrue in a general sense and not by the
amount of the tax which vii be re-
CURED individually. 1t should be viewed
and considered as plain business prop
osition, and not from the more or less
selfish rule or standard of personal in
terest. 1t will not be gainsaid that
Shreveport's need for good streets is
imperative, and it is fact which can
not be questioned seriously or contra
dlcted, that the property on all the
streets which have been bettered, with
brick Or asphalt, has increased in val
lation. This betterment is not altogether
=
uations. when listed for assessment and
taxation, there is derived by the taxpay-
ng community the advantages of the en-
fancement in the aggregated valuation
fixed for taxation. No citizen who
claims to be progressive should permit
his personal view to obstruct, Or should
hesitate in public duty and in sustain
ing the proposed issue of bonds for the
pavement of streets. He should also ap-
prove the proposition for a city hail.
When the plea of excessive taxation is
raised in opposition, let the citizen, self
respectful, address himself the query:
is the den, so-called city hall, over the
market house a place creditable to me
rs citizen, to the city, as a site at which
The mayor and representatives of the
people convene? Is it a place which
could impress the visitor and the inves-
or OF capital to that degree which en-
.courages to material investments? ?"
While it is true we may have some good
streets, yet such den as is called the
city hall is discredit to the city and
reflection OH the people. A comparison
or contrast may be drawn by calling to
mind man of means or one who may
provide the means being ''diked out" in
polished boots with his appearance in
dingy suit and shirt unlaundered Such
l man could not impress favorably and
while it is true that the CLOTHES do not
make the man. and the same reasoning
may be applied to a city and its city hall,
it must be patent that an uninviting, un-
orepossessing, discreditable looking
city hall with discomforts and annoy
ances untold, is not impressive, nor con-
duclve to the spirit of investment On
this subject the Caucasian will advance
its views more directly, as a business
proposition.

his arguments Of the Alaskan boundary
Wednesday morning in
excellent voice. He continued his con-
tention as to the meaning OF the term
"eoast" as employed in the treaty and
in the negotiations. All sides admit
that Mr.. Dickinson is making an ex-
cellent summing up for the United
States. He deals minutely with each
point raised in the speeches of Atty
Gen. Finlay, Solicitor General Carson
and Christopher Robinson, K. c., or
Canadian counsel, endeavoring to re-
fute them by means of countless refer
ences to legal authorities, and contin-
ues to hold the interest Of the members
Of the commission and other auditors,
interpersing his argument with humor-
GUS and other illustrations which are
listened to with evident pleasure by
Atty Gen. Finlay and other opposing
counsel and by the commissioners
themselves.
Mr. Dickinson emphasized the Amer
lean contention on the meaning of the
word "coast" and concluded the morn

be no doubt, judging from the maps
that the coast line must run as
claimed by the United States.
