THE ..NEAR BEER" CASE
Argued Last Evening Before Judge S
c. Fullilove of the City Court.

Last evening there was argued before
Judge S. c. Fullilove of the City Court
the law applying to the sale of what is
called Near Beer" For having sold
Near Beer" several men are held liza
Bile. The State was represented by
District Attorney J. NJ. Foster and
Hon. Frank J. Looney, and the defend
ants by Hon:.John D. Wilkinson, Hon.
NJ c. Elstner and Hon. Frank Blan-
chard. There was present an unusual
number of citizens and business men.
Much interest is centered in this con-
test. Judge Fu1lilove has reserved his
opinion until Tuesday next.
The gist of the case is whether Near
Beer" is spiritous or Intoxicating.
1t will not be disputed that the intent
of the law is to prohibit the sale of any
beverage, for instance Stimulating beer,
which is pretense and subterfuge for
the sale of beer.
In this case is involved the issue of
good morals against pretense which
would encourage the violation of law
and embolden the contempt for prohi-
bition.
As argued by the attorneys, there is
a doubt as to the standing of "Near
Beer as being an intoxicant and if
there is the doubt should be given to
high morals, law and order.

REPORT SUBMITTED TO HIS
HONOR, JUDGE T. F. BELL.
OIL CITY ARRANGED
As Being the Lair of the Bootlegger,"
the Blind Tiger and the Home of
Soft Drinks Near Beer" and
Other Mixtures.

The following is copy of the Grand
jury report submitted Friday:
Shreveport, La, Jan. IS, 1909.
To the Honorable I. F. Bell, Judge of
the First Judicial District in and for
the Parish of Caddo:
In concluding our labors as grand
jurors, we wish to make the following
report: We have examined 11S cases,
returned 50 true bills, ignored 81 and
continued for further evidence E cases
for future investigation.
We regret to report that much pro-
crastlnatlon exists among many wit
nesses and parties who file in informa-
ton before the body; therefore Our la
bors have been somewhat delayed
We believe this ought to be correct
ed. if possible, in the future
We have ma e close and rigid ex-
animation into the violations Of law at
Oil City, formerly known as Ananias.
This little burg has outgrown itself in
many ways, and we trust from the num-
Der of indictments found against parties
at that place, that the growth of the
"Ananias Club will be estopped from
further depredations upon law. At this
place we find a great number of good
citizens who are anxious to assist the
officers and courts, but regret that there
are so many people who can easily
"shift their minds when upon the wit
ness stand. Oil City is the hibernating
place of some Of the worst characters
to be found from this and adjoining
States: men who have earned their liv-
ing for many years past by their wits
and chicanery, lodging the laws here
and there and by so doing have become
non-producers and parasites upon the
body polite Of the Parish of Caddo. In
the past it has been the lair of the boot
logger, the blind tiger and the home of
the soft drink with lagniappe of black
bottles, golden drops" ''silver spray"
"dog water,' 'snear beer" and other
mixtures calculated to disjoint the
equilibrium of man and to create no
morals or respect for law However, our
conclusions lead us to believe that Oil
City will be rectifed in the future and
will improve with age. In three or four
places within the parish we have discov-
cred the old carbuncle, the bootlegger,
doing business on small scale, but as
yet we fail to find him doing business
in Shreveport other than those places
by the police.
Our examinations disclose a healthy
sentiment throughout the parish for law
and order and we confidently look for
a decrease in crime. Without the bosom
chums of crime, liquor and concealed
weapons, crime will astonishingly de-
crease. From the number of cases re-
ported it would take no expert to lay
the blame to the door of these two evil
doers, as 50 per cent of the cases report
ed to us we believe are due primarily to
whiskey and the pistol.
The parish Jail is in good condition,
and in conclusion we wish to thank the
officers of the court for prompt and
courteous attention.

HOW? MAY BE A MILLION.

The Webster Signal, in all article
headed How Much the Parish Superin-
tendent Is WORTH says:
State Superintendent T. H. Harris,
in letter published in the Louisiana
School Review, gives his opinion as to
what parish superintendent of educa-
ton should be paid. Superintendent
Harris received letter from member
of a parish school board stateing that
the old board had paid the parish super
intendent salary of $I2oo a year, but
that some of the members of the new
board thought that SIS a month was
enough
In reply the State Superintendent,
Mr.. Harris, says:
Under the law you may pay the su-
perintendent as low as 5000 a year, and
this would be high salary for man
who merely kept the records of the Of
fee, and who lacked the capacity to push
forward and upward the school interests
of the parish j,
The cheap man. would be dear at
any price.
How much, then, is the value of
superintendent? 1t rests with the man.

"ThE IMPENDING CRISIS"
lhe Subject of Ex-Governor Varda-
mans Lecture.

An appreciatlye audience heard ex-
Governor James K. Vardaman of Mis-
s1sslppl discourse on the Impending
Crisis" in the auditorium of the Travis
street school house Thursday night.
In the Impending Crisis was pre-
sented actual conditions, embracing
Theodore Roosevelt, as President, and
including his strenuousness. Mr.. Var
daman referred incidentally to prohibi-
ton and he congratulated the law -abid-
ing citizens of Shreveport i'll having de-
clared against the saloon, which is a
curse of the people
In the Impending Crisis there was
given serious consideration to the negro
question which sentimentalists, at the
North and men of the Taft stripe, who
have some theoretical idea of the negro
would dismiss from argument and
equallze with tine whites of the South.
In words stirring and convincing Mr..
Vardaman made plain the issue which
will not down. The negro of today is
not the negro Of forty years ago. There
are no more Black Mammies. No more
faithful Uncle JOSH who followed
their young masters to glory Or to the
grave. The negro of today encouraged
by the negrophiles of the North is
menace to civilization. 1t must be
either Africanization or the triumph of
the Caucasian race If vague theories
of the men at the North and of such
men as Taft we're realized the South
would in time become mulattoized Let
it not be forgotten that it was the Con-
federate Soldiers who saved the South
from the rule of the negro, the en1an-
cipated slave, vested with all the rights
of citizenship under the Amendments
forced through Congress and ratified
when passion and hatred had embittered
the North against the South.
About Mr.. Vardaman there is no
stimulation, no deceit. He speaks as he
thinks, lirectly, honestly and fearlessly.
He convinces because he is truthful.
He offers no apology for what he is
nor what he would say. He has been
criticised as a ''crank" but it is a pity
there are not more. such ''cranks'' as
James K. Vardaman. He is man who
measures to the Caucasian standard of
honesty of purpose and determination
to stand for the right.
What is needed in the country today,
and particularly in the South, are men
who are not sycophants and bootlickers,
seeking Federal recognition, who will
bend the pregnant hinges of the knee
that thrift may follow fawning, but
"cranks," men tried and true, who will
prove faithful in the most trying Of
emergencies.
The lecturer received, as he deserved,
the heartiest of congratulations. 1t was
the finest comn1ingling of common sense
and eloquence ever heard in this city.

THE DEsOTO ISLAND SALOON.

When the law of prohibition became
effective in Mississippi recently, Thomas
Morressey moved his saloon from Vicks-
burg to DeSoto Island, which is in mid
river. There has been given consider
able publicity and notoriety to this eva
sion of the law. For few days Nor
ressey was doing a thriving business.
He believed he was safe from molesta-
ton, but survey of the river places De-
Soto Island within the jurisdiction of
the State of Mississippi. Having been
found guilty of violating the law, he has
consented to the confscation Of his stock
of liquor. He now declares that he did
not intend to violate the law, but has re-
opened a saloon on the Louisiana side,
where there is no law restraining the
sale of booze.
