STATE FAIR
Directors Hold a Special Session.
Canvassing Co.nnlittee. .-.4 -..

The directors of the State Fair of
Louisiana held special meeting last
evening, President Bolinger presiding,
with Secretary Brueggerhoff, who an
nounced that he had at hand the signed
authority of taxpayers whose valuation
was $1,6ooooo, who favored the pro-
posed bonus voted to the railroad be
transferred to the Fair Association un-
der the conditions already specified.
The authority of the Shreveport Trac-
ton Company, one of the largest taxpay-
ers of the city, was added to the list.
1t was agreed to subdivide the directors
into canvassing committees of two each
for the purpose of soliciting this tax
bonus to the Fair Association.
The directors were entertained by ].
A. Fronteney of Frontenac, Kans., and
J. B. Mansfield of New Orleans, who
congratulated the directors on what they
have accomplished and spoke words of
encouragement for the future.

NEGRO LYNCHED
Attempted to Bulldoze the Citizens OF
Marthaville.

Fred Gilbert, negro, was lynched
few days since in Marthaville. He was,
as he claimed to be, detective. He was
bullying the negroes and was very in
sulting to white people. He was warned
but gave no heed to the admonition. He
had threatened to kill any one who in
terfered with him. He was arrested and
Jailed, after he had offered stout re-
sistance to the officers. The following
morning the Jail was found to be empty
and Gilbert's body was hanging to a
limb of a tree.
Gilbert is one of number of negroes
who have been supplied with defective
authority, so-called, from sch.n,,rs and
swindlers in c::tles i, Nr-thern States.
The negro is led to believe that with
this authority for which !ive dollars is
required, he has all the power vested by
law in a legally constituted Officer.

THE SCHOOL BOARD
Regular Monthly Meeting Held Mon.
cay

The regular monthly meeting of the
Scool Board of Caddo Parish was held
Monday i'll the secretary's Office.
In the absence of the president, Isaac
Barron, who is i'll, w. E. Glassell pre-
sided. There were present DR.. Glass, J.
T. Means, G. w. Huckaby, NJ. A. Was
son, w. E. Glassell, DR.. Randell Hunt,
H. F. Doll, T. H. Scovell, Ben Holz-
man, l. R. Thweatt, w. NJ. Sebastian
and Perry P Keith.
In his report Prof. Byrd, secretary and
treasurer and ex-officio a member of the
Board, announced that the revenues of
the Board amounted to $Ioo,ooo with
the expenditures slightly in excess of
this amount. The revenues for the
schools of the parish are adequate for
an efficient system. The expenditures in
dicate judicious management. The white
enrolment of the city schools has
reached 2,5oo. Additional accommoda-
tions must be provided for this increase
There are about one hundred white
teachers in the parish, besides the col
ored teachers.
The important features of the session
are embraced in the suggestions offered
by Dr. Randell Hunt, chairman of the
committee on hygiene and sanitation.
Improvement in the sanitary condition
of the Parkview school is to receive inn
mediate attention Good drinkable water
is to be provided for every school. Each
student is expected to have his or her
own cup from which to drink. This is
to prevent the communication of con-
tagious diseases. The health of each
pupil is to receive attention. There is to
be regular systematic inspection of
I'll the schools. Vaccination is to be en-
forced. Tardy teachers, without good
excuse, will be fined 50 cents.
The board agreed to take charge of
the building a school at Greenwood if
the citizens would raise $1,000 for that
purpose.

THE CANNING FACTORY "A
HOME INDUSTRY.

Why not patronize home industry? ?
The canning factory is a home industry.
Its products are equal to the best, yet
there are several thousand dollars worth
of the factory's product unsold. If the
people will not patronize their home in
dustry who will? How can there be
prosperity if the people will not encour-
age their home industry? The people,
especially the head of each home, should
demand and insist that they be supplied
with the product of their home canning
factory in place of the product from
other cities.

CITY ATTORNEY BUTLER
What Has Been His Offending and Why
Should He Be Removed?

In an article referring to the session
Of the City Council and to the movement
to oust City Attorney Thurmond, the
Journal in its issue of yesterday says:
The real surprise, though, which ru-
NOR has been handling for the past few
days, is in regard to the office of city
attorney. A movement is said to be on
foot 70 oust Attorney L. c. Butler, and
the movement is said to have originated
from the side that put him in office. The
reason has not been ascertalned.
What has been Mr. Buffers offend
ing? But if Mr.. Butler has incurred
the displeasure of the members of the
Council who persisted in his election, it
is his right to insist and to demand that
the cause for his removal be direct and
specific.
There are some members of the Coun-
Gil who assume the power of removal
under Sec Is of the City Charter, which
reads:
That the Council may remove by a
vote of the majority thereof any officer
or employee for incompetency, neglect
of duty, malfeasance i'll Office, or when
the services of such officer or employee
be no longer necessary to the public in
terest."
In Sec FL of the Charter it is pro-
vided: That it shall be the duty of the
Council at its regular meeting afte, its
induction into Office, or as soon there
after as possible, to elect Comptroller,
Street Commissioner, City Attorney,
City Engineer, City Auditor, Chief and
Lieutenant of Police, who shall hold
their respective offices until the expira
ton of the term of the Office of the
members of the Council by whom they
were elected or appointed, etc
The term of City Attorney. Butler will
expire with the term of the members OF
the Council, in November 1919, unless
removed for cause, after being i'm
peached and tried as the law directs.
1t is not in the power of the Council
to dismiss summarily any of the officers
named. In proof of the assertion may
be cited the attempt to oust, several
years since, the Chief of Police and the
Lieutenant of Police for neglect of
duty Before these officials could be
removed they had to be impeached.
They were impeached, called to trial, ad
judged to be guilty and were removed
from Office. 1t is we'll that the law pro-
tects to some extent the officers elected
by the Council. If it were in the power
of the Council to declare vacant and to
remove summarily, at the decree of the
any of the officers specified in
Sec. FL, no officer would be safe in his
position.
1t is not presumed that the present
Council has reached the autocratic limit,
in defiance of precedents, of law and of
equity and of the public
City Attorney Butler, as well as City
Auditor Thurmond, are entitled to and
must be given the square DEAL

THE BASHFUL MAN
A Plea by Rev. J. l. Thompson OF
Kansas City.

Young ladies, if you would be happy
though married, wed bashful man. If
he, acquires a case of suffering tongue
and cold feet when in your presence, so
much the better. If he bushes, it is
almost certain that he will make de-
sirable worser half. lt may be difficult
to lead him to the point where will blurt
out the fatal question, but the game is
we'll worth the candle The bashful man
is the first prize in the matrimonial lot
terry. He is almost certainly innocent
and unsophisticated, and easily trained
in the way husbands should 60.
Beware of the forward, brazen man.
1t is cinch that he knows lot that he
shouldn't know, and that it will be al
most impossible to make him over into
a domesticated, faithful animal who will
eat from your hand. So declares, in ef-
feet, the Rev. J. L. Thompson, pastor
of the Forest Avenue Christian church,
who has just been preaching series
of sermons on marriage. Says the Rev.
Mr.. Thompson:
"The bashful man is to be preferred
above all other for natrimony. He is
not girl-spoiled Next to being a bad
man or a fool, to be girl-spoiled man
is most detestable Bashfulness is q
proof of simplicity of character, a thing
most desirable in a husband.
do not marry featherheaded mar
nor a man who can not support fam
lily. AS to the question of how much
money a man should be earning, it de-
pends on individual. circumstances. bu
unless you are sure your husband car
support you comfortably, it is better tt
remain in single blessedness.
Il pray for an age of utility and com
mon sense when we can think seriousl,
about these things and act wisely-fo
an age when young women will demant
the same integrity and virtue from mel
that IS demanded Of them.

SOVEREIGN is SUING.
$1,000 Damages from Great
Northern for Being Elected
from Train.

]. R. Sovereign, we'll known demo-
cratic war horse, is suing the Great
Northern railroad in Spokane court
to recover $4,000 damages for being
elected from train on the morning
of October 81 as he was on his way
to make a campaign speech at Krupp,
Wash. Mr.. Sovereign, according to
his testimony on the witness stand.
was at one time general master work
man of the knights of Labor.
His trouble with the railroad oc-
Cured last fall, while he was on his
way to make a campaign speech at
a barbecue and democratic rally at
Krupp.
Sovereign claims that on the
morning in question he purcb ased a
ticket for Wilson Creek, as the train
did not stop at the station to which
he was going. After riding for Is
or 20 minutes the conductor came
through and asked for his ticket,
and being unable to find it, he main
tanned that the conductor must have
received it at an earlier visit to the
car. No ticket being produced, the
train man insisted that the passenger
get off at Edwall or pay his fare
from Spokane AS the train pulled
out, Sovereign testified, he attempted
to get on board, but was prevented
by the trainmen.
On the train he left his overcoat
and many documents which he used
in his campaign work, the value of
which he could not estimate.
For the chagrin and humiliation
suffered the plaintiff fixes his damage
at $1,000, and the value of the per-
sonal effects which he lost he places
at 500.
The railroad company is claiming
that he passenger was intoxicated,
al {. that he had lost his ticket before
the conductor came through.
