GOOD ROADS
Governor Sanders Is Planning tn,
Way.

The Picayune's Baton Rouge special
says: Governor Sanders is working on
but has not completed, his correspond,
ence with the police juries regarding
the plans for good roads building As
soon as all of the replies have been re-
ceived Governor Sanders will call con-
ference of the State Board of Engineers
and the Board Of Control of the State
Penitentiary- to formulate plans for a
general improvement of the roadways.
Some time ago Governor Sanders sent
out letters to the police juries asking
that they let him know to what extent
they were willing to assist financially
towards general movement for the
betterment of the highways. The money
that a police jury appropriated, Gov
ernor Sanders informed the.a, would be
spent in the parish making the appro-
priation. Practically all of these replies
are in, but there are still some parishes
yet to hear FROM The State Board of
Engineers will make the plans for the
roadways, and the work will be done by
the convicts of the State where actual
work is undertaken.

QUESTIONABLE.

1t is safe gamble that the prohibi
tion lid is on tight in Shreveport to-
day.-Monroe Star.
From surface view the lid is on
but some men seen on the streets seem
to be invigorated on ozone if not near
beer or booze"
And there is indication, from obser-
vation obtained casually, that the
'growler" is being rushed in some res
ident portions of the town, not for near
beer, which is fiat and insipid in its
taste, but for the kind which is of the
brand which stimulate, invigorates and
leads the drinker sometimes to imagine
he is a billionaire.
In general sense it may be said that
the lid is on tight at least as tight as the
lid on larceny and OH misdemeanors
1t is not possible to enact and enforce
a law so thoroughly as to be free of in
fractions. HOwevr. the results are as
as could be reasonably ex-
pected. The only dissatisfied are those
who, ii they could, would smash the lid,
scatter its fragments and rejoice i'll a
wide open town with all it's license of
evil and debauchery.

NOT FOOTING ITS HORN "


With no desire or intent to "toot its
horn" as the Only the Caucasian
would say that it appreciates fully the
endorsements expressed in words and
by letters of its course in favor of law
and order, its stand for the enforcement
of the law. against all violators, ire
spective of their creed, financial or So
cial standing.
The Caucasian today, as in the past,
has always expressed its opinion on
every subject and question of general
and. especially, Of local interest, regard
less Of any loss to its business, and it
will continue in this course notwith-
standing the resentments which are
provocative of such alignments.
AS the Caucasian is familiar with the
roar Of the tempest and has seen three
forked lightning fash across the frma-
ment, it will, undeterred, keep right
ahead in its duty, and while acknowl-
edging the appreciation of bouquet"
would suggest, respectfully, that the
substantials, such as new subscriptions,
and commercial printing
will be equally acceptable.

ALL TALK
There Was ne Order to Stop Work on
the Public Roads and Return the
Prisoners to the Parish Jail.

There has been some street talk tt
the effect that the president of the Po
lice Jury, Jules Dreyfuss, had directed
Superintendent McCutchen to abandon
the road on which he has been working
near Belcher and to return to the con-
wet camp with his prisoners. Coupled
with this report was the statement that
all the prisoners assigned to the good
roads would be returned to the parish
jail
1t was also stated that the committee
of the Police Jury on good roads had
countermanded the order of President
Dreyfuss and had directed Superin-
tendent McCutchen to continue to work
the convicts on the road
1t was surmised that the purpose Of
this abandonment of the road was to
defeat the ends of justice by having the
prisoners returned to the parish jaid
Since the recent convictions for the
violation of the law there has been con-
siderable talk and some threats as to
what will be done to the two detectives :;
what is to be done to c. J. Foster and to
Frank Looney. who assisted District
Attorney Foster in the prosecution of
the near-bcer cases 1t has even been
intimated that what would be done to
Judge Murtf will be a plenty. 1t has
been intimated that officials of the. par
ish have received letters containing
threats, all of which simply added to
the intensity to the report of the aban-
donment of the good roads.
An interview this morning with Pres
ident Jules Dreyfuss developed the fact
that he had directed Superintendent
McCutchen to discontinue work on the
road on which his gang is working from
Relcher until the dedication to part
Of the road in question had been OBJ
tanned. The limit was fxe! for today
The necessary dedication has been COM
piled with and there will be no aban-
donment of the road Such dedications
are necessary for the reason that when
not obtained, frequently the owner of
the land upon which is the road can
fence up the road and require pay from
the parish. Sometimes lawsuit is the
result.
In this instance President Dreyfuss
was simply actingin accordance with the
rule of the Police jury, for which he is
to be commended He insisted on hav-
ing the necessary dedication to protect
the parish, and that is all. There has
been and there is no conflict between
President Dreyfuss and the Good Roads
Committee. Each is working in accord
and harmoniously
Referring to the report that it was in |
tended to have the recently convicted |
men transferred to the parish Jail by |
the abandonment of the road, he said in
substance that he stands for law ard
order, and while he probably would not |
approve all the courts proceedings, he
realized that the courts decree must be !
as the court was better able |
10 dtermlne how to handle its cases than |
1e was. He had no sympathy for law
and believes firmly in the IN
forcement of the law.
