THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
The Movement Against the Evil Gather
ing Strength and Is Becoming IRE
sistible.

Saloon keepers have degraded Amer
lean cities and American civilization as
could only be expected"
S. S. Mcclure, head of the Mcclure
Publishing Company of New York. who
is now in Los Angeles. thus arraigns
the sellers of liquor.
There are several phases of the
liquor question" continued Mr., Nc
Clure Among them are detriment to
mans physiques. deterioration OF their
earning capacity, and the loss to moral
character. 1t is for all these that the
temperance people are making their fight
against liquor.
Men selling liquor ally themselves
with semi-criminal characters and COM
bine with them to degrade city govern
ment. This is especially true of Pitts
| burg, San Francisco and New York,
where in many cases saloon keepers
combine with capitalists who want fran
chises to dominate municipal affairs.
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1909-03-09

Thus the liquor men and their allies are
allowed to violate the laws and are
granted special privileges, and the re
suit IS that the people are given a
saloon government.
Who are the saloon keepers No
man OF fine feelings would be one. as
the more profits the seller OF liquor OBJ
tairs, the more he degrades his fellow
man, and in most eases breaks the laws
because OF the control OF govern
men, BY saloons and the liquor business
III general, the most terrible crimes. like
murders and often times more frequent
" in America than in Europe.
The movement against liquor is not
temporary: ii is gathering force and
will continue find i'll travelling over
the country that the liquor question IS
one of the two conspicuous issues now
in existence The other is municipal
government

MISS HOOD IS FOUND
VICTIM OF BOGUS LORD DOUG
LAS SOON DESERTED.
Asheville Girl Who Was Visiting in
New iberia and Supposed to Have
Married. Is Discovered in Vera Cruz,
Mexico. After Being Robbed

Los Angeles, Cal. . March 6.-It is re-
ported here that Miss Josephine Hood
of Asheville, N. c., has been found
near Vera Cruz, Mexico, and is en-
route home under the care of her
mother.
Miss Hood was victim of John c.
Cavendisf, alias Lord Percy Reginald
Sholto Douglass. whose supposed bride
she became after brief courtship, to
be robbed and deserted far from home
Too proud to face her friends. the girl
mid from the world and was found by
chance through the American consul at
Vera Cruz.
Miss Hoods disappearance created a
sensation, and the real Lord Douglass,
third son OF the Marquis of Oueensbury
was arrested at his summer home i'll
Maine before it was discovered that
Cavendish had impersonated him sue
|cessfully for a long time and is wanted
in ten States to answer charges Of alb
duction
Miss Hood was living at New Iberia,
La, at the time when she met the bogus
lord. The supposed marriage ceremony
took place soon afterward and she was
not heard of again, the people Of the
Louisiana town naturally supposing the
marriage was legal.

THE CHILDREN

DEBAUCHlNG The CHILDREN
New Orleans States: 1T is disoourag
ing to notice the number of offenders
coming before the Juvenile Court
charged with selling liquor to minors.
Never week passes by but what one
Or more such cases are brought to the
attention of the court, the innocent vic
TINS being often boys and girls of ten
der years, who have been made intoNi
Gated BY some brute of man.
The law is somewhat severe i'll pro-
viding penalties for offenses of this
kind, but it is not sufficiently severe.
The man who deliberately debauches a
child by causing or encouraging him to
become intoxicated is a dangerous per
son and ought not to be permitted to be
at large. Certainly no such person ought
to be permitted to conduct bar room,
and one of the penalties of the law for
selling liquor to minors is a forfeiture
of the license to sell liquor. 1t seems
| that there is some confusion in the law
as to whether this forfeiture is intended
as a penalty for the first or second Of
fense, and the court has usually given
the accused the benefit of the doubt {.
As we have observed, there are no more
dangerous citizens than those who de-
liberately debauch innocent boys and
girls, and the frequency with which per
sons charged with this offense come be-
fore the court would seem to suggest
that the severest penalty of the law
should be visited upon them in future
in the effort to break up this debasing
practice. The man who sells or gives
liquor to children deserves no sympa-
thy and should receive none"
As we'll said by the States, the man
who sells or gives liquor to children de-
serves no sympathy and should receive
none." but such man should be reached
and punished to the fullest limit of the
law which prohibits the sale of liquor
to minors.
There has always been too much SEN
timent wasted on the man who de-
bauches minors by the sale of liquor
and when such man is in the tolls
there is always an attempt at confus
ion of the law in his behalf 1t is not
public opinion which restrains the seller
Of intoxicants and compels considera
ton of the law as a heavy fine and i'm
prisonment, the working on the public

Henry Stewart, colored, aged about II

government In this case the reader
should take into consideration the crime.
Had a train been wrecked and innocent
passengers killed or crippled for life

have been would there have been any
sympathy for him?
1t is not because he is negro that he
was assigned to the pen for a term of
twenty years, but because he is guilty
OF a crime for which the punishment is
fixed regardless of race or color, a
crime which is indefensible and hor-
rible in the contemplation of its fatal
results

New Orleans States March 8: Mayor
Behrman, members of the city govern
ment and the business and laboring sfaen
who spent Saturday in the Caddo gas
and oil fields returned to New Orleans
yesterday morning, practically a unit III
agreement as to the adequacy Of the gas
resources stored there to meet many
times the present demand of New Or
!leans. The extent of the field proved a
revelation and the wide range of the
holdings of the Busch-Everett syndicate
in the proven territory impressed every
one with the sincerity of the proposition
|of Mr.. Hawes and his associates to
bring the gas here with the utmost ex-
|petition once the franchise is granted.
Socially the trip was a complete sue
cess. The entertainment at Shreveport
on the part of citizens and the nlunici-
pality was unexpected and its elaborate
ness and cordiality were warmly appre-
|ciated.
as a whole were convinced that the right
to introduce the gas in New Orleans
ought to be granted with the least pos
sible delay Most of them were of the
opinion that the duration of the fran
chise was a negligible quantity i'll view
of the fact that it means cheap gas for
both domestic use and factories and that
no exclusive right is demanded. The
fact that the promoters are willing to
spend twelve to fourteen million dollars
i'll piping the gas to the city and making
it ready for consumption, was regarded
as justifying the belief that the field
will prove permanent one. If any
risk was assumed, it was the general
view, it would be by the capitalists in
terested and not by the people of New
Orleans.
MAJOR BARTLETT.
Among those who went with the party
was Major c. Julian Bartlett, we'll
known civil engineer representing the
Louisiana Engineering Society and the
Trade Index, for which he is to write
an account of the trip from technical
standpoint. Major Bartlett examined
thoroughly the capped wells while they
were discharging and spent some time
in an examination of Mr. Mercer, the
Busch-Everett Company's expert, and
others actively identified with the ope-
ration of the field. His conclusion was
completely favorable to the project.
THE trip has been revelation to me,
and am enthusiastic over what have
seen," he said THE plan of bringing
the gas to New Orleans and serving it
in homes and factories is entirely feas-
ible There is question neither of the
adequacy of the supply nor of the pres
sure, and there are no engineering diff
6culties than can not be readily over

FIGHT FANS HAVE
EYE ON KANSAS CITY
Packey Mcfarland and Cyclone
Johnny Thompson Meet Tonight
in Long Sought Bout.

Kansas City, Nov. 8.-The inter-
est of fight followers in this part of
the country is conferred on the 10
round contest to be held here tonight
with Packey Mcfarland and Johnny
Thompson as principals. For almost
two years a meeting between these
has been talked of, but always with
out definite results. Some difficulty
has been experienced in agreeing on
referee but 1t is thought Joe Coffey
will be the third man in the ring.
The men will weigh in at 1875 pounds
six hours before the battle. Though
Thompson is only 33 years old, the
fight is largely battle between youth
and age. Mcfarland is 81 and has
steadily fought his way well up to
the head of the lightweight division.
Tonight will show whether the older
is past his prime or the younger is
eligible for the championship class.
1t is expected the winner will meet
Battling Nelson.
