CHRISTMAS DAY
SCORES OF BOOTY MEN, DRUNK
AND DOWN, AND FIGHTING,
SALVATION ARMY DINNER
Many Poor People Have a Feast of
Good Things-Many Were Relieved
and Many Were Made Happy-Some
Reflections on the Value of Booze
Is booze good for anything?

Is booze good for anything
Hogs will not drink it, even if men do.
Booze is good for revenue. 1t is
needed in sustaining the administration
of city affairs.
Without booze, say some of the lead
ing citizens and wealthy property hold
ers, taxation will be increased, a declar-
alton which is not sustained by the facts
alton.
Without booze taxation must go up.
If taxation is not increased, then there
must follow curtailment of the appro-
priations for charities and schools.
Booze, therefore, must be preserved
for revenue only.
On Christmas eve and on Christmas
day and on Christmas night there were
men, negroes and white, young men,
whites and negroes, who were drunk
and disorderly, drunk and down, "fulled
up with booze, raising hell on earth.
There were black eyes and punched
noses and cracked heads from the effect
of booze. The police had lively time
of it and earned every dollar Of their
wages.
In the City Court was presented a
wretched picture from the effects of
booze for revenue only, but why at
tempt description of scenes which
would wiring sympathy from stone?
To this scene of crime and criminals,
of depravity and debauchery, there
comes the relief of the Salvation Army
through whose ministrations nearly five
hundred people were feasted to such
good things as they had not enjoyed in
years; and to many it was in reality the
first real Christmas dinner they had
eaten in their lives Many of the poor
whetches, at least the greatest numbers
were the sufferers from the effects of
booze in some form or another. Women
and children whose love ones allured
from duty by booze, left them dependent
on the charity of the Salvation Army
and other people who help the poor.
Indeed, from the experience of Christ
mas, booze should be held at premium
as it is needed for revenue.
If booze is producer of revenue,
necessary to the welfare of the city of
Shreveport, then booze should be en-
couraged as an industry for revenue
only. Never mind the widow and the
orphan, never mind the jails and the
penitentiaries filled with boozers, with
the wrecks and poor devils without home
or friend
All such are the products of booze,
the booze which is necessary for reve
nue. and without which taxes, as alleged,
will be increased and the devil will take
the town.

FOR A DELIBERATE MIS-
STATEMENT.

Lieutenant Governor Sanders, candi-
date for Governor, has been called to &C
count for deliberate misstatement in
connection with his alleged endorsement
by Rev. S. A. Smith. This is not the
first indictment of wouldbe Governor
Sanders since the beginning of the
campaign. He has attempted so many
feats and parts inconsistent with the
record of facts that self-respecting citi-
zens cease to wonder at or express sur-
prise over what he may say. If there be
any surprise or wonder in connection
with Sanders it is in the support given
him by citizens of character who stand
and favor all that which is good in gov
eminent In all sincerity The Caucasian
would view the election of Lieutenant
Governor Sanders to the Governorship
as calamity, but here follows the letter
from Dr. S. A Smith, as it is published
in the New Orleans States:
New Orleans, Dec "a, 1907.
EIitO LAZY StdtcS. Lear SlI- Hc
statement by the Lieutenant Governor
that ever thanked him for any aid in
the Legislature in passing the bill
against liquor drummers is just as false
as his statement that he helped to pass
that legislation. Both assertions are as
devoid of truth as they could be. His
statement that he induced Peterman to
vote for the bill has nothing material to
with the case, because that vote of his
was cast June IS on final passage of the
bill, when we had the contest won ami
we did not care then what he, or Peter
man either did about it. That vote had
little influence and decided nothing. If
he was tossing Peterman around for the
benefit of good legislation, how did it
happen that he voted him against the
anti-slot machine bill when it was killed
June Fl, 1906? Surely there never was
4 bill that could be more commended
for justice and righteousness than that.
The answer is an easy one. The Lieu

FOR REVENUE ONLY
What Does the Saloon Produce That Is
Valuable to Community? Absolute
" Nothing.

The article following is from the
GUARDIAN journal, published in Clai
borne parish, in which there has been
experienced the baneful influence of the
saloon and the benefit of prohibition
The Guardian Journal says:
when It is proposed to vote the
saloons out of community, there are
usually people who object for the reason
that the revenue derived from the saloon
-sse - needed to support the schools
keep up the pa7emeAts and the. like In
other words, people who admit that the
liquor traffic is an evil oppose ending it
for the reason that the community can
not get along without the revenue de
rived from the saloons.
IS thS1Ne confess that we are not inn
farpressed with this argument In the day:
air-.nfs LOTTERY was an issue, there
good jolseople who contended that the
vate citb,could not get along without the
ought nue. offered by that gambling insti-
- n for the right to conduct its bust
4en in the State. But that argument did
not win. The Lottery was put out of
business and the State has prospered
without the revenue offered by that con-
Germ, and any city or community can
prosper without the saloon.
What does the saloon produce that is
valuable to the community? Absolutely
nothing 1t is harmful from every stand
point, including the economic. The
money it pays into the public treasury,
It takes from the people, and it only re-
turns small part of what it takes. If
the saloons are to be tolerated for the
sake of revenue, then the present system
should be changed and some plan de-
vised by which the public would get
larger part of the revenue they take
from the people. This could be done by
making the traffic kind of government
monopoly, and converting most of the
revenue into the public treasury instead
Of into the pockets of the saloon keep
ers. To license saloons for the sake of
public revenue, is good deal like the
offer made the old darkey to dig fish
bait. ! ne party that wished the old ne
gro's services generously offered to give
him half the worms he dug; but the
saloons do not give half or anything
like half.
ne saloon is an economic waste.
Any community will be richer without
than with It. It costs more to deal with
the crime It produces many times over
than the license tax amounts to-

unfavorabel report, but with the COM
mittee divided in its vote. He used
?eterman effectively then, as the bill
failed to pass by only one vote. But on
June Is, when he saw that we had won
out he boosted Peterman into the band
wagon and now gallops over the State
with a deafening shout that he did it
all. Call him what you please, fellow
citizens, when you speak of his truth
and veracity. He is in your hands.
Now, Peterman's great letter is cut
off of the same piece. He states at the
outset what is easily proven to be I'M
true. He says that in the closing days
of the Legislature l came to thank San
iers, etc, when my daybook, kept in
black and white at the time, shows that
left Baton Rouge June 26 and did not
return at all during the Legislature 1t
was many days and more before the
closing days of which he pretends to
speak. Furthermore, long before this, !
got done with the Lieutenant Governor
in legislative matters and studiously
avoided any conversation with him. |
never spoke to him as to the bill to 10
away with liquor drummers either be-
fore or after its passage. l never was in
the Lieutenant Governors Office in the
Federal building at Baton Rouge, and
do not even know where his office was
in that building. | had no occasion to
seek it, as his Office and his person alike
became inconsequential to me when he
had once deceived me and betrayed me
as he did in the old Senate chamber be-
fore the fire put an end to it for that
session. | never had any conversation
with him as to legislation and never
limited that the people of Louisiana
would hear any endorsement of him or
his work, for | never, for moment, had
any intention of giving him any. In
fact, a hundred people in and out of the
Legislature know we'll what | was say
the time this Peterman letter speaks of
| was out in the State delivering to the
people my lecture entitled, "How We
Did It," in which l roundly scored the
Lieutenant Governor for his conduct in
connection with this moral legislation.
Now, when they are up against ever so
many charges, any one of which proves
the unhtness of this man to be Governor,
they trump up this Pigment and farce of
their morally diseased brains to try to
show that |, for some mysterious and
unnamed and unaccountable reason, have
changed front. This they can not do, for
l have spoken with one voice in all the
parishes, from the day | left the Legis-
lature, June 26, 1906 until now The
people all know it and they are all wit
nesses of this thing.
l have spoken fearlessly and shall 10
SO to the end. have treated the Lieu
tenant Governor as he deserves to be
treated in the light of his treatment of
the work l am trying to do. If the peo-
pie are willing to turn the State over
to the management of such a man they
have the right to do so. For my own
part, / know so we'll what he will do and
what he has done, that l have no hest
fancy in speaking out at any time. My
proofs for what l say are ample /
have never said but one thing any,
