thlS DOOR, How gloomy the outlook was Is set

Gen Martinez Campos to Canovas del Castillo,
prime minister of Spain.

he were ever caught. =.
The rebels who charged Weyler with wanton
cruelty seldom restrained themselves from accom-
plishing deeds of violence likely to terrorize the
few remaining supporters of the Spanish rule. To
quote Weyer:
The insurgents did not return in any way the
considerate treatment accorded to them by this
generous commander (Martinez Campos). At the
beginning of the war Maxine Gomez showed him
self very fair; but Maceo as | shall prove by au-
thentic documents ordered his bands to set fire
to all the sugar mills whose owners were not pay
ing war tribute, to plumber and loot the country,
to shoot mercilessly all the messengers men
caught repairing railroad lines bringing pro.
visions into the villages Worse yet: The nsur-
gent chiefs did not hesitate to kill with their own
weapons defenseless islanders, and Maxine Co.
mez in his Memories Confesses to having shot
personally a he had sentenced to death
deed which call willful murder. And still that
individual presumes to call me assassin"
AS his authority for the foregoing statement
General Weyler not only quotes extracts from the
Cuban papers, but appends proclamation of
Maceo, Gomezs lieutenant, to his bands.
Comrades in Arms: Destroy, destroy every
thing, day and night to blow up bridges, to derail
trains, burn up villages and sugar mills, to
annihilate Cuba is the only way to defeat our enc
mics We have not to account for our conduct
to anyone. Diplomacy, public opinion and history
don't matter 1t would be sheer insanity to seek
the laurels of the battlefield, to bear the fire of
the enemy's artillery and contribute to the glory
of the Spanish commanders. The essential thing
is to convince Spain that Cuba will be but heap
of ruins. What compensation will she receive
then for the sacrifice entailed by the campaign?
We must burn and raze everything. 1t would be
folly to fight though European
army Where rifles of avail let dynamite
do the work. A, MACEO."
The only way to subdue such bloodthrsty des
perate pirates to adopt their own tactics The
insurgents, of their admission, never gave
accepted battle, but harassed the regulars and
destroyed their sources of supply. "Concentra-
ton" seemed to be the only solution of the prob
lem, for the wives and children of the insurgents

BEAUTIFYING THE COURT
HOUSE SQUARE.

Whatever is attractive about the
court house square is due to the ladies
who are ever busy in good works To
the floral adornments four large iron
urns of beautiful design have been
placed in the square, two facing Texas
street and two Milan. For this addition
of attractiveness credit is due to Ms
Andrew Queries, chairman of the com
m1ttee on court house square There has
also been added by this lady twelve iron
benches to the seating complement of
the square. 1t is understood that the
urns and the twelve iron. benches were
secured by Mrs. Queries through her
economy and good management of the
funds applied for the maintenance Of
the count house square.

LONG HAT PINS
Women Wearing Them Are Guilty OF a
Misder1eanOr.

If is now a misdemeanor tor any
woman to wear long hat pin in public
places in Chicago Any woman caught
wearing one is liable to arrest and tlne
of $50.
After a months discussion the city
council by a vote of 68 to 2 passed an
anti hat pin ordinance. 1t was passed III
spite of many Kisses and 'boos Sfom
the gallery. where a crowd of women
had gathered to protest against the
measure on the ground that the city had
no right to attempt to regulate WomenS
wearing apparel and that the long hat
pins at night often formed the woman,s
only weapon of defense.
The ordinance DEGREES that no per-
son" while on the public streets or ele-
waited car or public elevator or other
public place shall wear any hat pin that
the exposed point thereof shall protrude
more than one-half inch beyond the
crown of the hat upon which such pin
is worn"
1t took the legal advisers o. tie cor
poration counsefs office, the judiciary
committee of the council and half doz-
en- others almost four weeks to get the
ordinance ready for passage.
The argument for the measure was
that long hat pins endangered the eyes,
noses and faces of people when worn in
crowded places.
When the vote was announced cries
Of Shame, shame" came from the wom-
en- in the galleries.
1t may be ungallant to say that such
hat pins should be repressed, but in all
candor, it were senseless to exucse such
monstrosity simply to be polite.
There should be a limit to ali things.

OVER THREE MILLIONS. SHORT.

Ruston Progressive Age: The final
report on the amount of the cotton crop
OF 1909 ginned, has been made, and
shows little more than ten and quar-
ter million bales, including linters, more
than three million bales hhort of the
1908 crop. Are you surprised at the
fancy prices that have been paid for the
crop, after the SPECTATORS did all they
could to make showing that the crop
would be an average one?
i his report should not excite our peo-
pie to planting any more than contem-
plated, for the boil weevir is not vet
gone and besides our change in system
OF farming in 1909 has proven very sat
istactory. Plant few acres to cotton,
fertlllzlng high, cultivating fast and late
and put other time on other crops.

erly Governor of Kentucky, and Post
master General in President Tyler's

who few years ago was Governor of
Kentucky. The first political speech the
editor of this paper ever heard was de-
llvered from the gallery of the old City
Hotel, on Texas street, Shreveport, in
1855, by the afterwards successful Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor of Louis
lana, Robert c. Wilcklihe, father of the
deceased.

on his back, and at certain hours he is

up and down the platform soliciting
aims for the sick dogs fund. HI

preach one without having a bit OF
money dropped in the box. In the last
twelve months this dog has collected,
over $1,000 for the brotherhood. An,
other dog of Mrs. Laffan, a Pomcra-
MAN, is enc of the cleyerest beggars il,

THE EXPOSITION PROBLEM.

New Orleans is seeking the Worlds
Fair which is to commemorate the open
ing of the Panama Canal New Orleans
has the assurance of being recognized if
It be equal to the responsibility How
much money will be needed to finance
this exposition? Governor Sanders is
considering the recommendation of the
levy of special tax by the State This
levy of a tax will not be viewed with
favor by the majority of the taxpayers
unless there be demonstrated clearly
the advantages of the exposition. It's
proposed management will have an all
important bearing on this tax levy Be
ing actuated by the outcome of such en-
terprises, it may be difficult to persuade
the taxpayers to vote the tax, which
may be more or less dissipated in ex-
trayagance and mismanagement. It
would be wise to ascertain the inclina-
ton of the taxpayers on the proposition.
before submitting the levy for approval
by the taxpayers. The rejection of the
proposition would not only be undesir-
able, but it would practically payalyzeI
the enterprise. Is there no other means
by which the exposition can be financed
besides the proposed tax levy on the
taxpayers Of the State?
