Mr.. BRYAN'S VIEWS
REASON FOR TIMIDITY OF THE
INVESTING PUBLIC.
Declares the Sooner the Railroads Are
Put OH all Honest Basis the Better it
Will Be for Investors.

When in Buffalo, n Y, few days
since. Mr.. Bryan was asked: What is
your opinion of the proposed conference
between President Roosevelt and the
railroad presidents?' He replied:
The Republican leaders object to the
doctrine, with the consent of the gov
erned' in the Philippines, but some OF
them seem to think nothing can be done
in the regulation of railroads without
the consent Of the railroad magnates.
The important part OF the announce
ment. however is that the railroad man
ayers want the supervision of the rail
road transferred to the Federal govern
ment that they may avoid State legisla-
ton, and this contradicts the President 5
theory that the corporations favor State
rights as a means OF avoiding Federal
control
The great corporations would rather
risk control by Congress, which is far
away from the people than, by State leg
islatures, which are close to the people.
: If the investing public is alarmed it
is because the railroad managers, in a
vain effort to terrorize the legislatures.
have carried matters too far. Il any
other answer is needed for the heSitancy
on the part of investors, the investiga-
tons furnish it, for the inquiries have
shown to what extent railroad stocks
have been Watered.
But what is the alternativeo Must the
government refuse to investigate rotten
arrangements for fear the mismanaged
railroad no longer will be able to fool
the public into buying inflated secur !?
ties2 The sooner the railroads are put
on an honest basis the sooner the invest
ing public will regain confidence

expedients suggested by men who may
be inclined to add fulsome praise to
political ambition.
In practical sense, it is we'll to begin
now the agitation which may i'll time
result i'll this city's possession of sup
ply Of water. uncontaminated by foul
matter, and free from alkalies such as
are contained in the water of Red river.
Another all-important feature which
should not be minimized is that the
thirty years contract of the Waterworks
Company will expire i'll nine years, when
the city can acquire its possession as is
provided in the ordinance. and at a price
which is to be fixed by three competent
engineers. whose decision shall be bind
ing on both parties.
What shall be the policy of this city
when this contract shall have EXPIRED :
Will the city acquire this property and
operate it?
In providing for supply of water
from Red river. as may be contemplat-
ed. will it be possible to free the Red
river water from alkalieso
Can Red river water be so treated as
to make it as soft and as wholesome as
rain water. or as water obtained from
the lake, or from under the ground by
the artesian process?
If it be determined, after an ANALYSIS
by experts, that it is not possible to re-
lease the alkalies from Red river water.
though it MAY be clarified as ii is now,
would it be practical economy to have
the pumping station at some point on the
river above Shreveport?
Who would have to bear the cost of
the experiment. the city or the Water
works Company And what would be
the advantage, if any. in the supply of
water being furnished from Red river.
at a point above the city, rather than
from the plant as now located?
If the water from its present station
may become polluted from its surface
surroundings, could not this condition
be improved by the enforcement of the
ordinance applying to the system of sew
erageo
These are points which are suggested
and are all-important
From The Caucasians view it would
be more practicable to give consideration
to a supply of pure water through the
artesian system than to attempt to soften
the Red river water and to free it from
its alkaline ingredients And, if pure
soft water is desired and it can not be
obtained through artesian wells. may it
not be piped from the lake, situated be-
yond the reach of contamination from
any founesS of the city?
Practical economy would dictate
that no money be spent in any venture
which would fail n securing a better
supply of water than is being furnished
from the plar.t near Arsenal Hill.
If it be impossible or impracticabie to
obtain pure, wholesome water by the
artesian system, or by piping from the
lake of pure water, system OF clsterns
may, be devised which will secure rain
water, the purest and best of all waters,
to every inhabtant OF the city to the end
of the world
Why not give attention to the artesian
system before venturing a cent on the
proposition of supply of water from
Red river above Shreveport?

Law WA be Enforced.

Attention is called to village
ordinance No. II published on
page Z of this issue. The use of
rifles and small fire arms in the
village has become altogether
too common. 1t is a frequent
sight to see several boys around
with small rifles k u k n g
through some back yard in
search of sparrows. Several &C
cidents have been narrowly
averted and it is a wonder that
someone has not been killed be-
fore this time. A gun in the
hands of boy is always a dan
gerous proposition, especially if
there is anyone within gun shot
of them. The law is strict in re-
gard to the matter and Mr..
Young, the village marshal, says
that hereafter it will be strictly
enforced. Read the ordinance,
tell your boy and your neigh.
boris boy to beware.

SUICIDE AT BREEDSV|LLE.
Aged Man Shot Himself. Had
Been Proprietor of Hotel There.
Worried Over Business.

Peter O'Leary, an old gentleman 20
years of age, committed suicide at
Breedsville last week. He was the owner
and proprietor of the hotel there and
some time ago entered into negotiations
for the sale of the same to one Henry
Dobel. The papers were drawn and de-
livered, when it seems Mr.. O'Leary had
some trouble in closing the deal. He
came to Paw Paw last week and secured
an Injunction out of the circuit court
restraining said Dobel from taking pos
session of the premises. Officer Nc
Cabe served papers aud rendered the
paDers and money already paid, back to
Mr.. Dobel, which he refused to accept.
When McCabe reached home he was ad-
vised by telephone that Mr.. O'Leary
had shot himself. His advanced age
and worry over the deal had probably
unbalanced his mind.

pare code of laws keeping such

be preserved and all crimes and
penal actions shall be tried, pun

no change had taken place until
otherwise provided for; all pro

new constitution and many other
provisions will be required to
preserve the rights of parties
and the people until the next
legislature, after the adoption,
shall meet and pass the necessa-
ry legislation to meet changed
conditions. The committee is an
important one and its member

SOLDIERS SHOT HIM.
At Least Fifteen Negroes in the Mob.
Says Brownsville Officer.

Washington, May 17.-Testifying in
the senate committee hearing on the
Brownsville. Tex, affray, DR.. Charles H.
Thorn, a dentist in Brownsville, who
lives about a square from the garrison,
said that he was awakened by a sound
of heavy firing.
Almost under the window, but about
thirty feet away he heard some of the
men say:
There he goes' or there they co.
but could not tell which.
Then followed loud voices and he dis
tinguished:
Give him - and then other voices
from which he distinguished:
Yes - him. and after this many
shots were fired and the party passed
down the alley.
Lieutenant DoIningueZ, of the Browns
Vile police, whose right arm below thu
elbow is missing as the result Of the
Brownsville affray, said he crossed the
alley leading from the post and he saw
four soldiers on one side and four on
the other, and heard them say:
Give him and then a volley was
fred. He rode down street, giving the
alarm and the men shot at him as he
rode. A bullet struck his arm, then his
horse stumbled and fell By the time he
had gotten clear of his horse he said
the soldiers had disappeared down the
alley, still shooting.
Dominguez asserted positively that
the men he saw were negro soldiers and
that there were fifteen to twenty of
them
