Business GeneralshiD

When you are so buried in the detail of your business that you cannot get clear, sharp view of your affairs in all their relations, you are in danger of failure.
 No great general ever takes a gun and goes with his soldiers into the thick of the fight, where he would be so stunned by the noises, and so blinded by the smoke of battle that he could not watch the movements of the enemy, and could not see where his own troops need ed reinforcements, or how to hurl his forces on the weakest place in the enemy's ranks. He must go where he can watch every move ment of the armies.
 If you are going to be general in business, you must keep where you can get clear view of your affairs and know what is going on everywhere. While you are burie d in detail, your business may be in dangerous position, from which you could extrlcate it if you knew the exact situation.
 Many man fails in trying to be general and private at the same time.-Success Magazine.

The Times Democrat, in one of It's
usual philosophic fits. concludes that the
political control Of the State of Louis

based upon the congressional vote III

Ill onc-sidcd. the vote always light, and
of no Importance i'll solving the location

These seventeen wards and eleven par
isllcs have. according to the latest sta
tiStics, white registered vote Of 54,52I,
while the remaining parishes have
7o,oI6, or majority of l6,3o5.
1t will thus be seen that the Times

WASTE OF GAS
Water Pollution From Saline Matter
Draining from Oil Field of Caddo

How many millions feet Of gas have
already been wasted and how many mil
lion feet are to be wasted?
The citizens OF Shreveport are direct
Nv concerned III this all important sub
Ictl. IT is no less imro'ji 'han the
Iqucstion Of water, yet ts>;. Tie SAID

car!ng gas.
70 all things there must hc III end,
and while the supply of gas is said to
ne unlimited. il is no reason why II
should be permitted 10 60 to waste.
II has been recommended that al ap-
preparation by the State be provided
through the next Legislature to secure
thiS escaping gas. but il is unreasonable
TO expect legislators wosc sections have
no interest i'll this gas, should vote any
sum of the States money i'll al enter
prise which is local The State should
not be burdcncd with such responsibility.
Not only is this waste Of gas serious,
but the saline matter escaping from the
well i'll the gas and oil district Of Caddo
parish is polluting the source of the
water supply.
The condition As revealed recently on
an observation Of this section by the
mayor and members OF the Council of
Shreveport with experts and rcprcsen-
tativcs of the Watcrworls Company.
was amazing.
Clear lake. once a body of good, clear
and wholesome water, is polluted by the
deposits Of saline matter draining from
tc wells III the gas and oil district, and
il is only a question of a short time
when other streams must be affected as
Clear lake.
In brief, this is the situation, and on
the city and the parochial authorities de
volvc the duty of deviSng the ways and
means to have stopped this waste OF gas
and the draining Of saline matter INTO
the streams which is destroying all hsh
and is making the water worthless for
domestic use.
Perhaps those concerned have given
little thought to the deleterlous effects
Of which complaint is made by officials
who have viewed the situation, but, at
any rate, it becomes an imperative neces-
siv to have abatcd what may be termed
a nuisance. affecting directly and inli-
rcctly thousands of people.
TO the Police Jury, then, must be left
the provisions essential IN law, which
shall secure the relief desired. and with
The city's corporation there should be
reached a solution Of 4 threatened ca
lalntv which should be avertcd before
il is too late.
The situation may be emphasized III
few words
The waste Of gas must be stopped.
The drainage OF saline matter into any
| lake or stream in Caddo parish must be
prohibited, and ordinances with penalties
must be provided to that end.
