A TENTATIVE PROPOSITION.

It is understood that the breweries
interested in selling their products in
Shreveport propose to submit for con-
sideration an agreement whereby the
sale of beerine or near-beer may be ef-
fected without violating the law.
AS the story goes, the consent of the
officials of Caddo Parish is to be OBJ
tanned to this agreement that beer con-
tanning a fixed percentake of alcohol
can be sold without defying the law.
In consideration of this agreement
the saloons will promise to not sell
whiskey or similar beverages.
This proposition is neither new nor
original, but if it be true, it is based
on a degree of self-assurance, rather
nerve, which has always been pre-
dominant characteristic Of the liquor
traffic.
With whom could the breweries en-
ter into such an agreement? Certainly
neither Judge Bell nor Judge Murff
nor Judge Fulli1ove could be a party to
it. Nor could District Attorney Fos-
ter give countenance to such proposal.
Since the law is plain, the law must
be maintained If the law is disre-
garded the guilty must pay the penalty.

ANCF UNION

The Wonans Christian Temperance
Union held its regular monthly meeting
(teh first Thursday in every month"; at
the Presbyterian annex. The president,
Mrs. L. K. Ridley, impressively read
portion of the Sermon on the Mount
and offered prayer for guidance. After
transaction of business Mrs. Ridley told
how royalty the citizens of Homer en-
tertained the State Convention. It is
to bel amented that not a delegate went
from the Shreveport society of the w.
{. /. u, which should be the most
prominent in the State.
The members of the local w. C. T.
U. are highly pleased and gratifed that
the members of the City Council see
that it is we'll to enforce the "curfew
ordinance y which has been on the stat
ute books for the past eight years. It
is comforting to the many anxious par
ents to hear the curfew at o:3o o'clock

PROPOSITION TO THE SALOONS
AND THE BREWERIES

Since, as it appears, the breweries and
the saloons are desirous of reaching an
amicable understanding with the view
of selling beer within the pale of the
law, would the saloons and the brew
cries, if such an agreement could be
reached, be willing to have any number
of citizens inspect their places of selling
without notification, day or night? Not
only should these citizens be not con-
nected or interested in the saloons or
the breweries, directly or indirectly, but
they must be men of character who
could not be swerved from the most
rigid and impartial inspection of the
saloon or the place where the beverage
is being sold We fancy that if such
citizens were authorized to inspect the
saloons and the places where near-beer
or any other kind of beer may be sold,
the sale of intoxieants would be linz
tied indeed
As to near beer the beer which is
not beer and only pretense of beer, it
is unpalatable and few men who drink
beer will drink it.
Near beer" is as insipid to the taste
as soup without meat and without salt

THE PIPE LINE
Is Being Located Through DeSoto
Parish

The Mansfield Enterprise says: The
representatives of the proposed pipe
line from the Caddo oil field to New
Orleans have been operating in this
parish for the past few days, with the
view of locating the route of the line.
Their object seems to be to follow the
ridge that divides the slopes of the
Sabine and Red rivers. As a general
rule, they are not giving out much in
formation, but this conclusion is based
upon their general inquiries Mansfield
is exactly on this ridge, the waters on
the new Methodist church that run off
one side of the roof run into Red river,
the other going into the Sabine. It is
thought the line will be located in the
eastern section of the town, and our
Progressive League will make due eff
forts to secure connection Herewith,
that the gas may be used for fuel and
Illuminating purposes. Several small
manufacturing plants are hesitating
about locating their plants until this
matter is settled.

5ostoffice with the offices of officials of
The Government, which when approved
may be followed speedily by the re-

various Offices of the Government now

Unquestionably such removal may
operate to the discomfort of some of
the officials, but is it not the general
welfare of the community paramount to
the comfort of any official?
This plea of economy when related to
this appropriation by Congress of two
hundred thousand dollars for new
postofice in Shreveport is childish, not
to say nonsensical.
This plea of economy can not be
maintained successfully. 1t is in an
tagonisIn with the spirit of progressive

The appropriation having been voted
by Congress should be accepted with a
hearty welcome.
There should be tolerated no med
ding or interference in the plans al
ready designed and approved by official
authority. ......
Let the work progress without inter
ruption Since the plans are satisfac-
tory to the Government and to the
postofiee department at Shreveport
who from experience have the fullest
appreciation Of what is needed for the
good of the service, let the work begin

Shreveport should not be placed in a

WOLGAST VICTOR
Defeats Lew Powell in Gruelling
20 Round Fight.
No Knockout But Milwaukee Man
Clearly Earned Decision.
LIKE A WHIRLWIND.
BUSHES Fairly Carried West
erner Off His Feet.
ONLY in One Round Did He Make
a Showing.

San Francisco. Nov. 30.-Ad- Wolgast
of Milwaukee was given the decision
last night over Lew Powell at the END
of 20 rounds of furious and at times
bloody fighting. WoIgast had the bet
ter of the contest from start to finish
and his whirlwind rushes and agrees
give infighting proved a combination
that the local fighter was unable to
meet.
Powell was the favorite at odds Of
ten to eight and he was backed Tor
thousands. 1t now is conceded by all
that Wolgast, after his showing against
the Californian, is the legitimate OPP
ponent of Champion Nelson.
The fight was remarkable for the ter
rifle clip the fighters maintained and
the dissemination at any time tc oreaK
ground or shirk punishment
Wolgast opened the battle as III ne
intended to make runaway tight OF
1t. He fairly dazzled Powell with his
speed and his aggressive lighting at
close range was a revelation. Time ana
again, he drove right and lett snort
arm blows to the body and jaw. and
kept his arms going with such pistol
like regularity that Powell was all at
sea.
Try as he might, he could not elude
the Milwaukee mans determined rush
es and the best lie gould do was to pro-
attacks to the kidneys and soon great
bIotches bedecked PowelPs back the
men fought at close range throughout
the entire battle and while in this po-
sition, Wolgast sent In Smash aa.e 5
smash on the Cahfornian's jaw and
face and soon the blood was spout1ng
in streams from his mouth ana nose;
one round was a repetition of the
other. with Wolgast invariably hololhs
the upper hand.
Tn the twelfth round Powell made his
only showing It was the most vicious
round Of the fight and for moment 1t
looked as if Powell might turn the
tables. He sent in several ponderous
right smashes as the easterner rusneo
in and forced him to stall most OF the
round. Toward the close of the round,
however. Wolgast cut loose again and
after administering a fearful beating to
the Californian the latter went to his
corner in a senigroggy condition. VOL
CAST again took the lead and held 1t to
the end all the time Furnishing Powell
severely about the face and bringing
fresh blood in almost every round. plc
ring followers said after the fight that
not since the days of George (Kid)
I.avigne has a fighter created the I'M
preston left by Wolgast.
His speed and endurance and aggres-
sive qualities were marvellous. PowelPs
punches had little if any effect on him.
He also showed himself to be the
possessor of a powerful punch Ind 1t
was only PowelPs wonderful ability 10
absorb this punishment that prevented
a knock out. Powell although beaten,
was not disgraced. He fought stub
born, game fight, but lost to better
man.
Powell's face was badly disfigured at
the end of the contest and his body also
showed evidence of Wolgast's punches.
Wolgast did not go scot free, his left
eye being badly swollen, his lips SPLIT
and his nose somewhat lacerated.
