This Week
GREATLY REDUCED.

In the reports of the Plattenville
gathering where the three would-be gov
errors were in attendance, the Sanders
ties, including The Press of North
Louisiana" announced that 1000 people
were there and the enthusiasm was
Overwhelmingly for Sanders. In accounts
the T1mes-Democrat estimated the at
tendance at 500 and the Picayune 600
and now comes the Lake Charles Ameri-
can which says: Three candidates fol-
Governor lourneyed up to Plattenvllle
Saturday, accompanied by two prospec-
tive Lieutenant Governors, one Secretary
of State, two State Auditors, one Regis
trar of the Land Office and two Attorney
Generals, and were greeted by an inn
mense and clamorous audience of 26o
including small boys"
This is another indication that the
claims Of the Sandersites are not only
exaggerated but are unreliable and mis-
leading
The Sandersites even at this early
date in the campaign are reminders OF
the boy whistling at his loudest when
passing the graveyard at night to keep
UP his courage. Sanders must go.

SHREVEPORT TALENT.

The Nashville Banner of recent date
contains handsome picture Of Miss Ad-
die Lyons, daughter of Mrs. A. c. Ly-
ons. formerly of Shreveport. Miss Ly-
ons was graduated in June at Nashville
| University, Nashville with the M. A.
| degree, and has the distinction Of being
! the only young woman who has made
| this record at Vanderbilt. Friends Of the
Lyons family will rejoice in the college
triumph of this bright girl, and are
proud to feel that although her great
success has been won in old Tennessee,
| her inspiration must have come from the
home of her birth, fair Louisiana.
Mrs. Alice Grosjean Dale, another &C
complished and talented Shreveport
woman who has achieved her success in
| Nashville, has been filling very delight
full engagements during the summer at
chautauquas and other educational cen
tiers. She was complimented by an in
vitation to attend a meeting of the In
| ternatlOnal Lyceum Association at Joliet,
Illinois, last month. The fufllment Of
her engagements with the Entertainers
League has been highly complmented,
and added to her list of triumphs as dra-
matte reader.
Miss Caroline Newman, still another
from Shreveport, of whom we are all
proud, is playing successfully with the
Amelia Bingham company. Miss Bing-
hams troupe will play in Shreveport

MAY RAISE FREIGHT RATES.
Railroads Plan Retaliation for Leg
fsIatiOn.

Shippers throughout the United States,
according to reports received in Washing
ton, are concerned lest the railroads Of
the country make a horizontal increase
in rates on twenty or more important
commodities handled in interstate com
meFce.
This action may be taken by the car
riers. it is alleged. in retaliation for acts
to regulate their operations passed both
by Congress and the State legislatures.
If the railroads contemplate such a move
notice Of Intention so TO do has not been
given 10 the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, as is required under the law.
Should the railroads at once materially
increase rates for the transportation Of
the necessities Of life. the officials here
say there would be precipitated proceed
ings out of which would grow a judicial
test of the constitutionality of the power
conferred upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission 20 pass upon the reasonable
Eess of a rate.
