a REAIITIEIII- LEE

Dodson Times A beautiful life is an
honest life. A life of truthfulness, of
nobility of the soul and a life of devo-
ton to our loved ones here and to the
God who created us. Life indeed is but
a river running with rapidity, onward,
onward, ever on. 1t runs, alas, too
swiftly. We have not one moment in
which to hesitate or spend in idleness.
We should place guard on our every
day actions, as we travel along life's
journey. just one unllind word can
never be recalled; how much better had
it never been spoken. Kind words! How
little they cost, and yet how dearl Soft
words soften the soul. Words harsh
and angry kindle the fire of wrath and
vengeance Cold words chill. while hot
ones create fire and discord There are
vain words, idle words, silly words,
spiteful words and multitude of 9TH
ers to guard against. By trying daily
to initiate Him who had not where to
lay His head only can we live beauti-
full life.

THE WATERWAY PROJECT TO
JEFFERSON. TEXAS

There has been revived into activity
the plan to connect Jefferson, Texas and
Shreveport by waterway Competent en-
gineers have pronounced the feat pos
slble, and there is no reason why there
should be failure, when at this day all
obstacles to progress and development
can be removed by engineering skill.
The distance between the Red river and
Jefferson is about forty miles.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce held Friday fav-
orable consideration was given the pro
ject. In attendance were Congressman
Morris Shepherd and Hon. B. +. Sher-
rell, mayor of Jefferson, Texas. Hon
N. c. Blanchard and others who have
been the advocates of navigation inn
provement to Jefferson.
At this meeting there were objections
raised over the proposed Improvement
on the plea that the water backing up
on the borders of the lake would food
some low lands and would interfere
with the boring of wells for oil and gas.
1t is unfortunate that some opposition
is always developed to any enterprise,
but this is dictated by self-interest. It
may be reasonable for the individuals
who may be interested in developing oil
and gas wells and who may have some
low lands which may be submerged, but
in equity the greatest good for the great
est number is the principle which should
be applied and which should govern in
public enterprises.
A committee comprising Hon. N. C..
Blanchard with others who are to be
named by President Smith of the
Chamber of Commerce will inquire into
the project and report thereon at an
early date.
It is estimated that the improvement
would cost about a half million dol
lars.

IT'S SIGNIFICANCE.

In the result of the election on Thurs
day, September IS. there is a significance
which can not be miniGnized. 1t is re
sponsive to the spirit of progressiveness.
1T is an awakening to better conditions.
1t is the getting together of the people
who stand for better and a greater
Shreveport.
In the triumph of the issue, Govern
ment by Commission, against which
there was concentrated all the power of
the opposition with money free and in
abundance, financed by the interest and
the class who struggled desperately for
its defeat, Shreveport has proclaimed to
the world that its public affairs hereaf-
ter are to be conducted and managed
on business principles and for the good
of all the people.
While it should be conceded that much
good has been derived from the present
system of mayor and fifteen council
men. still this system is not responsive
to the present needs of this city, and
more satisfactory results are promised
and will be obtained through the Gov
eminent by Commission.
The opposition to the Commission
Form developed at the eleventh hour
had been anticipated by the Caucasian,
who had warned its friends to be active
and on the alert and to not tire until the
end. 1t is over-confdence which fire.
quently leads to defeat, but while the
advocates of Government by Commits
sion were sanguine, they had determined
on securing a majority so overwhelming
and decisive as to still the every tongue
inclined to protest.
In the verdict proclaimed in the ma
jority of SIS, the reactionaries were par
alyzed with amazement, but in their tri-
umph so crushing the progressives did
not indulge in any demonstration of
gforifcation, but, as good citizens stand
ing for law and order, while congratu-
lating each other, wendell their way to
their homes we'll pleased with the re-
suit.
In the majority recorded the reaction
aries have been, or at least should be,
silenced in their detraction. Even with
all their f1nisstatements and their appeals
to prejudice, the reactionaries failed to
fool all the people.
In Shreveport there are some people
who must be educated, at least to the
extent Of not accepting as true the
pretenses of sehenaing politicians. How
ever, with a practical demonstration of
the advantages of the Government by
Commission over the present system, a
majority of the reactionaries will IN
time be aligned with the progressives.
In the Government by Commission all
political lines and factions are eliminat-
ed. and there will be fostered the spirit
of unity and of good win which will OPP
crate to the substantial profit and adj
yancement of the best interests of the
city. The time has come when factional
chickering's must be cast aside and when
every good citizen, irrespective of creed
or politics, shall stand together for
Shreveport's progress,

TO LICENSE JAGS


A Picayune special from St. Louis Of
Sept. IS says Over-indulgence in red
Ticker" and other gloom diSpellers will
become safe and sane if the licensed
jag" plan suggested at the final session
of the Tri-State Medical Society's con-
vention today as a solution for the
drinking evil should be adopted by the
municipal assembly in the form of an
ordinance.
The plan of the doctors and surgeons,
or at least a large portion of those
present at the final session, is to require
every drinking citizen to take out a Ii
cense,' and if he should offend against
any of the other ordinances while toting
around an authorized bun" he shalt be
fined. The fine, instead of being paid
by the lag" or members of his family
is to be paid by the city or the state,
and the benefciarics are to be the rela-
tives.
Under the present order of things a
while under the influence of liquor is
sent to the police court. He is tried the
following morning, and unless he can
produce some "extenuating circum-
stances or sufficient money to defray
the fine and costs, he is summarily SEN
fenced to work it OUT in the work
house.
In the event his wife and child are
dependent upon him for food and lodg
ing, they become the real sufferers.
DR., Joseph E. Chambers, St. Louis
surgeon, declared that the saloon is a
state institution and that every drinking
man should be licensed
THE fine assessed against man who
offends while intoxicated should not go
into the treasury of the state or the
city," said Dr. Chambers. His wife
and children are the sufferers and the
state or city should pay them"

That He Reached the North Pole.
In a telegram from Copenhagen dated
Sept. 10 it is stated that the Danish gov
ernment steamer Hans Egede arrived
there yesterday with the news that John
r. Bradleye, the financial hacker of DR..
Cooks polar expedition, was on his way
to Etah to secure the much-ta1Sed of re-
cords and instruments which Cook has
said that he left at the Eskimo settle
ment northeast of Greenland. The cap
tain of the steamer thinks that Cook is
with Bradley, but gives no particular
reason for this belief.
The Hans Egede, which is the vessel
upon which the explorer travelled to
civilization, fell in with a yacht at God
haven, Danish settlement on the south
coast of Disco Island, Greenland, and in
the course of exchanges between the
masters learned that Bradley was aboard
the other craft.
The polar-hunt promoter admitted his
identity and explained that he was
bound for Etah to recover whatever had
been left there by DIR. Cook. He re-
fused, however, to either deny or con-
firm the report that he was accompanied
by the explorer.
The government vessel also brings
the information that two missionaries
who are working among the Es<imes
who accompanied Dr. Cook ON his-ss5S-
petition, say that these EsElimas insslst
that the doctor reached the north pole,
as he claims, prior to its discovery by
Commander Perry.

Fairs are practical educators and de-
velopers. Improvements in farms, in

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

II a person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, tho blood would rid itself Of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are q
multitude Of people who will not or can
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton Of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Pcruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Pcruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers Of Nature to bring about cure.
Tho whip does not increase the power
of the horse to pull load, but judi
ciousIy used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pu led the
load.
This illustrates the effect of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
TEN. Taken at the right time, it calls
forth the powers of the human system
to meet the en-. roachments of disease,
and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to subsu-
tute medicine in tho place Of right liv-
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove disaster. But an occasional use
of tho right medicine at the right time
is godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruns
find 1t Of untold value. By and by the
world will get wise enough SO that
through correct living no medicine at
all will bo needed. But that time has
not arrived. In tho meantime, while
the world Is approaching that pcrfcc-
tion in which all medicine will he elm.
mated, Pcruna is handy remedy to
have in the house.
Slight arrangements of tho stomach;
slig hit catarrhal attacks of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure to lead to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use of pcruna.
Wouldn't you like TO read few un-
solicited testimonials from people who
have used Poruna, and who stand ready
to confirm tho above statements con-
cerning it. If so, address tho Pcruna

little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only

People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. Tho only
rational cure Is TO eat correctly. Yet ii
a palliative is at hand the pains OF indi
gestion can DO mitigatcd, the throes ol
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1T simply
palliatcs disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna Is cure for dyspepsia
But Peruna will stimulate tho stomach
10 perform its function properly. Peru
ma will increase the flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion canno
be carried on at all. twill increase thu
relish Of food, the appetite.
1t Is admitted that all this can b.
accomplished by right living, but ther'
are so many people who either will no
or do not know how to eat correctly tina
q tremendous amount OF good can d.
done by the wise use of Pcruna.
A stomach that has been frequent,
abused performs the function OF dIges
ton very iazily. Such astomach allow
the food to remain undigested for SOM
time after 1t is swallowed. This Lead
to fermentation of the food. Sour stom
ach is the result. This goes on wecl
nfter week, until the blood Is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt to produce rheum
a.lsm.
1t is not claimed that Peruna Will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum
atism but correct living. But 1t Is
cl.imcd that Pcruna will assist badly
abused stomach to perform its work.

STUCkEY A FUGITIVE NOW.
The Preachers Appeal Denied anc
His Bond FORFEITED by Court,

Topeka, Kan, oct 2O.-The su-
prcmc court dismissed today the
appeal Of the case against the Rev
W. T. Stuckey, the Williamsburg
preacher, who was charged with alb
ducting Lorena Sutherland, a young
girl who eloped with him. The
court also forfeited the $1,000 bond
which Stuckoy persuaded some OF
his friends to sign pending the
hearing of the appeal. After the
case reached the supreme court
Suckcy disappeared. He was given
ten days in which to surren' 'er to
the sheriff of Franklin county. The
sheriff has not received any word
lrom Stu,koy, and when his affidavit
was presented to the court today the
case was dismissed. Suckey is now
fugitive from Justice, and If he
is ever found he can be arrested,
returned to Kansas and sent to
prison at once under the sentence
imposed by the Franklin county
court.
