BEREAVEMENT.

Deep sorrow is felt throughout the
community at tic dsplorabIe death Of
Mr.. +. w. Jackson, which occurred at
his home Friday morning.
Mr.. Jackson was devoted in all the
relations Of life. The father of large
family, whose aim was to place before
them the nobicst and best incentives,
and prepare them to fill honorably their
places in the world; with loving wife
who has been his sympathetic eompaa-
ION through their long married life, his
death is indeed a grievous blow, hard
to bear. As a friend, no man was more
loyal. The poor, the sick, the dis
trcssed, found ready and kindly succor
at his hands. A Mason in the highest
and truest sense. his daily life exempli
fed its teachings in spirit and in truth
II is unuttcrably sad to realize that one
who brought so much cheer and bright
ness into the lives of others should have
gone down under depression Of spirit
and i'll health. To his sorely bereaved
family the deepest sympathy is ex-
tended.
Mr. Jackson is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Rebecea Jackson. his daughters
Misses Sallc Belle and Vera Jackson,
and six sons, Howard Jackson Of Chi
cago, Arthur and Edward Jackson Of
Oklahoma City Eugene Jackson Of
Bunkie, and his two younger sons,
Hugh and Charlie Jackson
Funeral services were held at lis
home on Everett street Saturday after
noon
The burial, in Greenwood cemetery,
was attended by large number Of his
friends He was Mason and Woods

JACK JOHNSON, NEGRO PUGl
LIST.

Recently Jack Johnson, negro pugi-
list. defeated in an encounter Stanley
ketchei, a white man and also a pugi
list. In the Northern States there has
been much space wasted over this
event In the South there is little re-
grct over the defeat of ketchcl, When
ever a white man shall level himself TO
the plane of the negro, he must expect
from the negro the same treatment that
is due 10 negro. White men, if so
inclined, should engage in pugilism with
men of their own race, However, III
such encounters between a negro and a
white man, the average negro, through
his ignorance, is given the opportunity
Of being boastful to the point OF imper-
Thence, which in such instances pro-
yoke white men to resentment, This,
fortunately, is not the condition III the
South, where the negro is held to his
station, even il he be Jack Johnson the
pugilist.
10 say the least, race pride should
make impossible such contests between
white men and negroes, but in so far as
the Caucasian is concerned, il will cN-
press no regret whenever the white
pugilist is bested by the negro.

NEWS AND NOTES
Items Of Interest Gathered by Cau-
casian Representative.

Mrs. Curtis editor of the Home Cor
ner in October Success Magazine, writes
Of the Southern house keeper and the
adverse conditions with which She
brayely contends. She says
Various things have impressed me
every time have had the privilege Of
being a guest in the home of Southern
woman. II you are worth knowing at
all, you will find yourself instantly in
the heart OF a warm gracious home cir
Gle Should you happen TO be paying
guest that makes no difference in the
world There is a refreshing simplicity
in Southern entertainment. the sort Of
simplicity which, alas, is becoming rare
IN tic North. Most praiseworthy Of all,
however, is the splendid energy with
which Southern women are endeavoring
to become excellent housewives. The
woman bred in New England is a
housewife both by tradition and by edu-
cation. Her mpther and grandmother
were famous cooks and housewives be-
fore her They learned in childhood that
it was an accomplishment both digni-
fed and honorable to know how to do
we'll every household task. The woman
Of the West pioneer perhaps, not on
ly had education and tradition behind
her, but the struggle with primitive con-
ditiens which vas splendid training in
itself The Southern woman had no
training except that of managing
household Of slaves. There was no ne
cessity for her doing the work of the
house. In the humblest home a slave
was an every day possession. 1t has
never struck me that the Southern
woman looks down upon household
labor as mental, although she is con-
stautly accused Of such an attitude.
When the demand came for her to
put her hand to tasks of which she
knew nothing, she did it with brav-
cry and cheerfulness that was most
womanly Even if her grandmother
never cooked, washed or scrubbed, she
inherited from her the faculty of doing
work beautifully. | have watched
Southern woman wash dishes. and she
does it with the same ddintiness that
her grandmother cared for rare old
glass or china, which was not a task to
be delegated to slaves Whatever labor
is demanded Of her is done in a finished,
exquisite, ieisurely way, quite unlike the
rough hurry scurry with which some
women perform their household tasks.
They may possess the remarkable fac
ulty that the Yankee calls knack, but
the Southern woman has way Of do
ing the most unattractive tasks with
delicate touch which is simply the dis
tinction of fine breeding.

A REMARKABLE ADMISSION

There is Of record in the clerks Office
OF the District Court q remarkable adj
mission on the part Of the Shreveport
Ice and Brewing Company of their dis
regard Of the law, which in this instance
is applied to the Mandel Brothers, who
have recently closed their saloon, ope-
rated in the building on Louisiana street
at the corner OF the alley adjoining the
Police Station, which was occupied by
Robert S Mandel
Since The conviction Of the saloonists
turned up" by Detective Pinson and
his associate. the Mandels have deter
mined to quit the business, and there
fore have closed the building named
which was leased to them by the
Shreveport lee and Brewing Company
for term of four years ending De-
ccmber a, 1910 al the rate Of $3.50 per
month, payable at the end of each
month.
II appears that the lessees have de-
clined to continue the lease. and there
fore action is brought against them for
the recovery Of the rental due as slip
ulated in the lease, In the lease it is
specified that the lessee is to use and
sell exclusively the beer of the Shreve-
port Ice and Brewing Company. and he
is obligated not, to use, sell, or permit ia
be used or sold on the premises any keg
beer except that which Is sold and de-
livered by the Shreveport Ice and Brew
ing Company.
In the petition Of the plaintiffs il is
shown that Robert S. Mandel is due
them S2,61f2s. of which $40 is for
whiskey sold TO him on June 2S. 1000.
II would seem that Mandel's plea for
relief is that he can not fill the contract
required by his lease for the reason
that il is not lawful to sell beer nor
other kinds Of intoxicants. Indirectly
and BY inference it is d eonceding that
it is not profitable to sell the near beer
which is beer and take the risk Of con-
viction with a Jail If not a road sen
fence Of several months, exclusive Of a
fine of hundreds of dollars.
From this suit is revealed and made
public condition which was well
known to the officers OF the law and to
many citizens.
II will not be questioned that Mandel
violated the law. Ills admission is proof
sufficient. Nor can the brewery escape
the public indictment that It has en-
couragcd the violation of the law by
selling not only beer but Whiskey as
we'll Perhaps the brewerys loop hole
for escape is that as a wholesaler it
could sell 10 retailer for resale but
this plea would scarcely stand the test
OF a fair judicial investigation, since in
a prohibition territory It is not pre-
sumed that retailers Of intoxieants are
in existence and are willful and delib.
crate violators Of the law and Of conn
mon deeency
To what extent would the law be dis
regarded If the men engaged in the sale
of intoxieants were not encouraged to
treat it with impunity and contempt

SPEAKER CANNON AND HIS
TpOTfpT re

The mightiest potentate in the flesh
has his troubles, and Speaker Cannon
is no exception to the rule. From Wash
ington, D. G., it is announced that he is
fighting the insurgents desperately, a
war to the knife and knife to the hilt,
but fortunately no blood IS being split.
Who are the insurgents?
The insurgents are Republicans who
have deied his authority and will not
dance TO his music.
There never has been d Speaker OF
the National House of Representatives
who has been more dictatorial and
overpowering than Cannon Even in his
palmiest days, Reed, with all his auto
cratic power, was mild and gentle in
comparison to Cannon.
When Congress was convened and
the House was organized, Mr. Cannon
won the speakership with the aid and
the assistance Of Democrats, several Of
whom are from Louisiana, This action
has been resented by the Democracy of
the Nation as an act Of perfdy Had
the Democrats who joined Cannon in
this triumph, been loyal and steadfact,
