REGULATION A VAIN HOPE,

Regulation of the liquoro traffic in
this country has received the best
thought and efforts of our greatest men
for the past hundred years. No PROPOSE
ton has ever had such able support. and
no proposition has ever so miserably
failed in meeting every expectation 1t
is today the fatuous dream of a few
well meaning men. but used principally
by the vested liquor interests to stay
the rising tide of civic righteousness in
their frantic efforts to save the rem
nants of territory left to them
Here in Shreveport the saloons. as in
all cities where they now exist, have
built up a political element, powerful
enough to defy the laws, to put out and
not infrequently to elect ticket OBJ

and executive functions OF government.
This danger is always impending. and

rigid enforcement Of law have advanced

Mr. 6. W Trickett. Kansas City. Kan:
Dear Sir-With reference to Your
inquiry concerning conditions Of our
business rs compared with that of
June. 1906, we beg to state that our de
posits have grown from 800 900 on June
Both, 1906. to 1892 600 on the 3lst day
of January. 1907. an increase of 40 per
cent, and the volume of our business
has increased in n greater proportion.
The month of January just closed has
shown large increase in business as
compared with the depressing mouth Of
January last year. when the joints were
in full blast. During the month three
times as many new savings accounts
were opened as in the month of Janu-
airy year ago.
To us it looks like clear case of
'wben the people are not permitted to
spend money for a bad cause they will
invest it for good purpose. y

We call the attention Of the
legal authorities Of the city to
the conduct Of a number Of boys
who have no respect for them
selves or the rights of others,
but go prowllng around at night,
and for pure meanness, destroy
ing shrubery, plants and shade
trees, to the great regret Of the
owners of property. This con-
duct is becoming \ perfect nui-
sance to the public, and will, if
not discontinued, bring trouble
upon the guilty parties. Pri-.
vate property is entitled to tie
protection Of the law and if pa
rents do not, at once, see to it,
that their boys desist from this
detestable destruction of prop
erty, means will be resorted to
to prevent these night providers
from destroying property.

Rebuilt Pianos of Well
Makes

Some of the most charming pianos
and certainly some of the most wonder
fully reasonable in price. are to be
found in the big Exchange Depart
in Lyon & Healy's Here you find
celebrated pianos, such as the Stein
way, Weber, Krakauer. Haze1t-- n
Washburn. Sterling, Huntington, etc
that have been traded in for some
other instruments. In many cases
these uprights have been exchanged
for grand pianos. Ordinarily such
pianos are sold in the condition re
ceived, but in Lyon & Healy's the lit.
tie things one does not like about q
piano which stamp it as several years
old, are changed in their own factories
So these pianos are brought right down
to date in tone, action and general ap.
pearance. Every trace of use is re.
moved from their cases. and altogethe,
they are made substantially as perfect
as the day they left their makers
hands. These rebuilt pianos give great
satisfaction.
If you would like good piano al
about half price. write to Lyon & Healy
for list of instruments in this class
They will be glad to go into full particu-
lars. and you may depend upon every
statement that they make. Tell them
about what kind Of an instrument YOU
had in view and about how much you
had in mind to pay. Address them 10

*This is an eastern company and
writes town business only.
All these companies are writing farm
business at 3H mills for fire and light
ming and no policy fee, charging no
more for live stock than they do for
good dwelling houses. This is less
rate than the Harrison County Mutual
has charged their patrons for the past
four years. You perhaps noticed the
statement in the paper a short time
ago where the Mutual officers advised
you that if there was no mutual in
Harrison county the old line companies
would raise their rates to per cent
the amount they used to charge You
will see the absurdity of this when l
call your attention to the fact that all
five of the companies represent, do
ing farm business, are all anxious for
as much of my farm business as posi-
Bile, and if one company would not ac-
cept any business write at 81 mills,
any one of the other four companies
would be anxious to take it.
Remember will love to grow 10
years old still writing fire insurance for
my patrons in Harrison county at less
than the mutual costs, and have two
sons that hope will take up the bust
ness when am done with it. So you
need not worry that l will go out of the
business soon, regardless of the fact
that Mr.. Caldwell, president of the Hair
rison County Mutual, guaranteed you
over his signature four years ago that
/ would not be in the business at the
end Of two years. am here to serve
the public with the best fire insurance
