Observation-Disclosures

In their report to Judge A. ]. Murft
the Grand Jury have indicted the social
clubs as being possessed of three things
mystery, power and danger.
To the classes inclined to disregard
the prohibition law this indictment may
be treated facetiously, but this declara-
ton will lead the. law-obserying of the
community, including Shreveport and
Caddo parish, to serious meditation.
The club which is possessed of "mys-
terry, power and danger" becomes men
ace to public safety, and being defiant OF
good morals, order and law, invites a
resistance which can have been one end
ing
In reaching this conclusion it is fair
to assume that the Grand Jury had evil
dence sufficient to warrant its Indictment
of some social clubs, although wanting
in the necessary direct proof to estab-
lish and secure the conviction of the of
tenders if tried by petit jury.
No less serious is the reflection of dis
credit by the Grand Jury on some of
ficials of the parish and of the city who
may be opposed to the existing law.
An officer whatever be his station, Is
expected to discharge his duty in the
full compliance with his oath When he
is vested with the authority of law he is
not questioned as to which law is in
keeping with his notion, nor whether
he thinks one law should be enforced
and another law disregarded with silent
contempt The officer Of high and low
degree is expected to fulfill the obliga-
ton of his oath of office fearlessly and
inpartially, and whenever or should he
ever become sympathetic with any class
of law breakers and is neglcetful of his
dirty he should xacafe his office
AS we'll stated by the Grand Jury, "the
prohibition law can be enforced as fully
and as satisfactorily as any other law,
and the officer Of high or low degree
who will not enforce this law should re
sign or be removed from office.

This disturbance will bring unusually

They tell me, son, that you are in
love. That is good news. They tell
me also that you have not yet reached
the point of being engaged to be mar
ried. That is still better news. You
are riding upon the crest of the high
est wave of rolling sea of bliss, but
when you and the girl have exchanged
mutual promises you will enter upon a
smoother though perhaps less glorious
sea-
Son, | am constrained to offer you
some advice The magazines and news
papers of today are full of counsel for
the girl, but you seem to have been
strangely neglected. Quite likely Meth
er of you will pay much attention to
what is said to you, but still the effort
is worth while z
When you go to see the girl, son,
talk TO her. | know, | know you do
talk to her, but what do you talk about
What is the burden of your conversa-
ton to her? Books, flowers, social
pleasures, the latest play, or, if your
courtship has progressed far enough,
do you venter to dip into the mythical
imagery of love? All interesting
enough, no doubt, but let me ask you,
son, are you going to keep up the pace
after marriage? Do you expect to dis
cuss the dainty perfume of the vqilet
or the delicate sentiment of a love p6sfn
at the breakfast table? Are you OF the
opinion that you can keep yourself key
ed up to that level while inwardly fig
urlng how to stretch $I2oo salary over
a $I25o expense account
Time enough, you say, for all that.
True enough, son, but did it ever occur
to you that it might be, good thing
to explore the mind of the girl you areE
thinking of marrying. Many interesting
discoveries might be made by such a
course, and, when you come to think
if it, it is better to know something
about the girls mental qualities before
the preacher says those magic words.
If her mind is barren wilderness you
ought to know it-and take my word
for it, son-the shock of such discov-
cry is much greater after marriage than
before
You may depend on it, son, the girl
has taken your measure, but she is ex-
ceedingly adriot in the act of hiding
herself from You, 1t is a quality which
she has inherited from long line of
mothers who have been compelled to
circumvent men by such harmless prae-
tees. Therefore, don't expect her to
deal quite frankly with you.
She will think that she does: she will
believe that she is openly showing you
her every weakness along with all her
graces, but she couldn't do that if she
would. Unconscious of the fact as she
Is, yet her instinct moves her to hide
from you her faults.

falrs-about your work, your pros
peets-af1d seek her advice about your
troubles as # she were already your
wife, Dig into her view of life and

to consider that John Griffin at no
time was dropped into soft spots on
the contrary was forced to race after,
or with the best sprinterS in the coun-
try, the reorganization of performance
is the more outstanding. For be it
known that the old horse is a sprinter
pure and simple, six furlOngs being his
limit and five furlOngs entirely more to
his liking.
AS previously stated. John Griffin II,
is of Texas origin, and is registered as
being eight years of age. The old fell
low was first discovered" on the
ranges near Dalhart, Texas, where I'M
der the name of John Farrel, he was
raced on the little bush meetings. and
was always an attraction because of
the many match races which followed
in his wake. His owner, d very Shrewd
Texan, had habit of matching him so
many steps, 100 yards, or quarter of
a mile, at all of which distances he was
invincible-being capable at almost any
time of stepping a quarter of a mile
(frOm a standing start) in 81 seconds.
At the presumable age of 5, he was sold
to minister who broke and drove
him to a buggy. 1t was while in this
capacity that he attracted the attention
of his present owner, d. Cottle who,
after unsuccessful attempts to obtain
