THE EXPECTED GAME.
Citizen Calls Attention to Bad Condl-
ton OF Sidewalks.
Editor Arrus.

Editor AfruR.
For some time past the attention of our
officers has been called 60 tho dark and
dangerous condition OF the sidewalk on
jackson street, pointing ont that sooner
or later some one would would step Off
TINS narrow towpath and go over the en-
bankmcnt and receive injuries that would
cost the town far moro than IL would TO
repair and make safe the walk, II IL IL
worthy of being called such. On We'd
ncsdny evening of last week the expected
came, when Leroy Shaw in the darkness
stepped off the walk, falling over the en-
Dankmcnt into the street below. luckily
escaping with mashed thumb, spraincd
wrist and bruises to match. This occur
renee should be sufficient warning TO our
city dads that stitch in time saves nine.
During the long continuance of fine
weather nothing has been accomplished
in way of putting our streets and walks
IN condition To withstand the inclemency
OF the approaching winter, and we will
he IN sad shape before the blucbirds sing
The whole effort of our officials seems 10
have been looking 20 the accomplishing
OF something big, never realizing for a
moment that smaller things would be of
lar more interest 10 the people Of the
town at large rather than large enter
priscs, even If We had the money TO ac-
complish them, which we have not, and
are not likely TO get by neglccting what
we have. We are growing very tired Of
present conditions We are not so much
interested in automobile tracks for the
benefit of the few az We are i'm passable
streets and Observation-Disclosures the town.
1t should not be forgotten that all the
people contribute toward keeping up the
town and the fund created IL ample 90
provide at least for good streets and side
walks, not only in one section, but
throughout the town. Give us these first
and then We will think OF other improve
mcnts that We can afford.
We charge that the voters are at fault
Tor present conditions. 1t will be- rcmcm-
bcrcd that in the meeting which nomi-
mated our present officers motion was
hiadc 10 appoint committee 20 prepare
a platform, which il elected they would
stand pledged 10 carry out. Strange to
say this was voted down, 20 that our Off
GERS can consistently say, "The people be
damned wc will run thing along our
own lines"
Fcllow-citizcns, in tie name Of all that
is right aud Just, let as elect our income
ing officer along party lines on plat
form Of principle. We should not be- 40

For instance, in case of seduction a
father. and in the absence of the father,
A brother would be justiiable in killing
the sedtcer if he should decline to mar
ry his daughter, OF his sisted. A hus-
band would be justified in killing the
wrecker of his home, on discovering
that his wife had been debauched, or
otherwise influenced against her will
The first essence of the unwritten law
must rest on virtue, the basis of which
is all paramount to the issue. 1t is
about time that what is styled the un-
written law were being relegated to the
past. If this plea should be recognized
as a means of defense when the crime
of murder has been committed with de-
liberation, then will men be encouraged
to kill whoever may have incurred their
displeasure or aroused their resentment,
resting their plea on the unwritten law.
| There have been cases of murder where
virtuous wife has sacrificed her good
name by admitting the plea of her hus-
band, and thereby rescuing him from
the hands of the hangman.
SIBLEY IN JAIL.
H. E. Sibley has evinced no concern
over the killing of DR.. White. He is
not inclined to be taikative on the ad-
vice of his attorney. He feels justified
in his act and rests on the assurance of
an acquittal whenever tried by a jury.
DR.. M. NJ. WHITE.
The deceased, known personally to a
number of citizens of Shreveport, was
1.-THE president of the State Board OF
Veterinary Examiners He was at one
time meat Inspector for the Board OF
Health He possessed a pleasant ad-
dress The relatives of the deceased
lwere apprised of this homicide soor
rafter it had occurred. The body was
sent on yesterday mornings train te
Ruston, where the father and mothei
Iof DR.. White reside His brother, DIR
White of Alexandria, and John White
of Winnhsld, and Mrs. White, wife o
the deceased, will beet at Ruston, where
|, the burial will take place this afternoon
It has been stated that Mrs White, wh'
? has been spending several weeks witt
friends in Chicago may have the bod
taken to Chicago for burial, but it /
more reasonable to assume that tn
burial will take place in the cemeter
: near Ruston.
The friends of DIR. White in Shreve
i port express in words indescribabl
g their regret over his untimely end
