COTTON CROP REPORTS
Favorable but Late-As Rule Fields
Are Clean and Well Worked.

Times Democrat June I3: Herewith
presents the initial reports of its special
correspondents concerning the cotton
crop of 1910:
The reporth indicate favorable, al
though somewhat late, start throughout
the major portion of the belt Much re-
planting was found necessary. Weather
extremes form the basis of most of the
complaints. An appreciable increase in
acreage is reported from the States west
of the Mississippi river. AS rule, the
fields are clean and well worked. Boil
weevils have appeared in the sections
infested last year, where crop diyegsifi-
cation has been reserted to IloHe than
ever before. Thus far the plant seems
to be free of other insect<pests. The
labor supply is ample IN most sections,
but complaints of scarcity in this re-
spect come frog6 others.

ing letter ito the president and members
of the Progressive Union"
Gentlemen-Race track gambling is
an infamy prohibited by the United
States government in the District of
Columbia, by the laws of nearly every
State in the Union, and by the Constitu-
ton of the State of Louisiana.
Race track gambling attracts a horde
of undesirable men and women who
leave Shiny trail of suicide, defalca-
tion and misery in their wake.
Race track gambling is seriously de
moralizing to the youth of our Etate
while admitting it appeals to the
pecuniary benefit of certain class of
people, | firmly believe the vast major
ity of our best citizens and best mer-
chants, irrespective of politics or relig
ion, are unalterably opposed to to the
humiliation and degradation of again
having the city of New Orleans made
the stamping ground for the race track
gamblers, with their attending touts and
prostitutes.
Il do not feel it is within the pro-
vince of strictly commercial body to
disregard the laws and the Constitution
of the State of Louisian in regard to
gambling, and for that reason beg here
with to tender my resignation as mem
Der of your organization

CHIEF OF POLICE
Who Is to Be the Successor of
E. o. Allen?s

Possibly at the session OF the Council
tonight successor of E. @. Allen may
be elected. 1t is not known who may
be the successful man, but whoever he
may be it shall be expected that he shall
enforce the laws, all the laws, irrespect-
i've of the wishes of any class or classes.
Should there be any law which may be
considered oppressive and when operat-
ed is in restraint of personal liberty"
such law by being operated vigorously
and rigidly will, if unpopular and unde-
sirable, lead to its repeaal 1t is simply
the extreme of stupidity to not, enforce
the law, and to permit its abuse, must
entail the most severe criticism on the
charged by their oaths to
see that the law is enforced

BASE BALL
Yellow Pine Defeated Blow Pipe Team.
Harmon of St. Louis.

Yellow Pine defeated the Shreveport
Blow Pipe team Sunday in an interest
ing game, by the score of to O. yell
low Pine started scoring in the first in
mng after two men were out, scoring
two runs on three hits and an error, the
only runs made during the game After
he first Patterson steadied down and
kept his hits well scattered, and the
Yellow Pine boys were unable to score
again. The feature of the game was
The wonderful pitching of Moore of the
Yellow Pines. He allowed only two
hits and struck out I8 men, In every
inning he struck out at least two of the
Blow Pipes, and several times he struck
out all three batters who faced him. He
allowed only two bases on balls. Two
fast double plays were made by the
Blow Pipes, Arthur and Carter making
one in the third and Grant and Carter
another in the sixth.
There was large crowd of rooters
from Yellow Pine to cheer for their
team. They enjoyed the game very
much and spent pleasant day in the
city, returning Sunday night. A nice
crowd witnessed the game.
On the front page of Sporting Life

ert Harmon, former Pirate favorite,

Robert Harmon, the rising young
pitcher of the St Louis National League
team, is member of that team by right
of nativity as well as ability He was
born at Liberal, Mo-, October Is, 1887.
His professional career has been short
but brilliant. He first played with the
Morenci, Ark, team in 1907. In the
spring of 1908 he joined the Portland
team of the Pacific Coast League, but
was released in May. He then returned
to the Morenci team and played the en-
tire season with that club. In March
1900 he signed with the Shreveport Club
of the Texas League, and then struck
his gait, which was so sensational that
on June I8, Iooo he was purchased by
the ST. Louis Club, of which team he
has since been a member, making steady
advancement in skill and efficiency"

COUNCIL TONIGHT
The Traction Company May Be in Full
Evidence.

Among the several questions which
will require the attention of the City
Council tonight may be the ordinance
granting to the Traction Company valu-
able concessions simply for the asking.
The ordinance providing authority for
the construction of the Fairfield rail-
way and its operation down on Texas
street may be called to its third and
final reading, when it may be invested
with full life of law by the vote of 8 to 7
as was cast at its first reading. In any
other community besides Shreveport,
the Traction Company would be re-
quired to give some equivalent in con-
sideration for the valuable grant it
would obtain from the city, but here in
Shreveport the Traction Company ex-
erts today, as it has in the years past, an
influence which is past understanding.
What has the Traction Company ever
done for Shreveport that it should re-
ceive from the Council this considera-
ton, these grants of valuable privileges
simply for the asking? Why should not
the Council insist on the grant of gen
eral transfers and other privileges to
which the people are entitled?
Why should the Council decline to
protect the people, and why should the
Council be so ready and willing to grant
every demand of the Traction Com
.pany?

Shoe This to the old Pops Whom
the Socialists Haze Deceived

What Henry Clay was to the Wings, what
Andrew Jackson was to the Democrats, what
Garrison and Phillips were to the Abolition
lists, Herr Bebez has been to Socialism.
In their conventions, in their literature,
and in the German Parliament, he has been
their Noses. He lays down the law for them.
He is their Mahomet, their Confucius, their
Christ. For more than thirty years, he has
been the one leader whose recognition was
worldwide General Booth, of the Salvation
Army, has exercised little greater influence
over his followers, than Bebel has over So
cialsts.
Yet, when [ examined his vile book,
"Woman Under Socialism,, and proved from
it that the Socialists are headed for Free
Love and universal immortality, an old Popu-
list, of Ruston, Louisiana, wrote me violent
and abusive letter, the gdst of qohich a0as that
BebeZ IS ''an obscure German", qOhom 1t q0as
Nperfdi0as" IN me to quote as an authority
on Socialism!
Because the Ruston man had been sensible,
CHS having been Pop proved that,) took
the trouble to write him, trying to set him
right, as to Bebel Nothing doing. He got
madden than ever; and Ephraim is "jined",
for good [ guess.
The New York Cazz is a daily paper, and
the recognized organ of Socialism. It's editor
is Daniel De Leon, who translated Bebel's
filthy book into English. The translator, in
his Preface, eulogized and Endorsed "Woman

had 1t not been for the ta0enty- three Demo-
Gratis qOhO came to him, the neqO tariff zaaO
could not haze been enacted. That speech
has been printed by Congress for circulation,
by the hundreds of thousands and not a SIN
gle one Of those Democratic Desertors has aooy
desire to provoke the derision Of the House
By any attempt at denial.
Let every constituent of those Deserters de-
mand of them a copy of Cannon's speech at
Kansas City, last November
Let every constituent of Livingston, How
ard, Lee Edwards, and Brantley test the mat
ter, by demanding that each of those Desert
ers td1te the floor, IN open session Of Congress,
and deny C0nnOn's st0temoent
That is a simple, convincing way of getting
at the whole truth. Make the demand, Mr..
Voter, and then qcatcb to see the Deserter
8qaei2ma ont Of complying qoith 1t.
They can't do it. Cannon told the truth
on them, every man who is posted knows it.
The Deserters hope to confuse the minds of
the people, by just such disingenuous letters
as Livingston writes; but they hn020 better
than to t7y 1t on their colleagues IN Congress.
Oh, yes, it is true that Livingston voted
against the new tariff law. The Republicans
didn't need his vote THEN. They had
enough votes to pass the bill themselves.
The only time that the Cannon machine
needed Lon and the other twenty-t two traitors,
was when the old rules, trivially modified,
were adopted. The Cannon machine needed
Livingston, then, AND THEY GOT HIM.
He not only gave his vote but his time, his
talent for intrigue and for deception.

Gin our first issue announced that the

time developments have proven to us that
not so confoundedly about that thing and
when the recognized Socialist authorities refused
to accept Tom Watsons dare, determined to

then get right again.

country folks.

On February %, 1910 there appeared in
the Call an article whose headline is:
"a MESSAGE OF CONTEMPLATION TO
AUGUST BEBEL FROM THE NATIONAL WON
ANS COMMITTEE OF THE SOCIALIST PARTY"
The party here meant is the american So
cialist Party.
In this message to Bebel, his book is praised
In the highest terms; and his position as to
Free Love is most fervently Endorsed. The
signers of the message are-Meta L. Stern,
Theresa Malziel, Dr. Antoinette Konnikow,
Mary Wood Simons and Winnie Bransetter.
In the New York Smo of March 4, 1910,
was published special cable dispatch from
London, which gave a report of one of
George Bernard Shaw's public addresses.
Shaw has international fame as an author,
and as a Socialist If any living man fore
sees more clearly than Bebel does aohat So
ciaziSna qc0uzd do for mankind, he is George
Bernard Shaw.
In the speech which was cabed to the Sun,
the English leader and expounder of Social
ism declared that marriage, as qOeW as prop
erty, must be abolished. He argued that So
ciety must be given the right to destroy such
Of its members as a0ere ''umdesirabzes"
He advocated the breeding of men to wom-
en-, and of women to men on the principle
which prevails in the breeding of cattle, dogs,
hogs, etc. That is, he favored the establish
moent Of ''Departmoeaot Of Eugemics", q0hich
should hare the poa0er to select mates for men
and q0Onoer1, crossing the breed according to
physical and ten1per0moentaz defects or epcez-
fences.
In working out Socialist ideals, in this di-
rection, it mi ght be necessary, he said, to
make some precision qOhere6y 'aDome1o can
4o IL
noestic0zzy ooith the fathers Of their chiZdrer'.
That address was heard and applauded by
a great audience Of English people. They
uuderstood that Shaa0 q0as giving them the
genuine articze-AND He WAS!
That's Socialism That is what is being
taught in Europe and in our own big cities
That is what they publish in European books,
papers and magazines. That's qOhat the city
Socialists Of the North and West believe IN,
right here IN the United States
And that's the reason why Eugene Debs,
Fred Warren, Upton Sinclair, Robert Hun
ter, Victor Berger, ETC., do NOT answer mig de-
ma'ad for q definition Of Socialism, on those
special points. [ haze been rubbing m1y fist,
right Moder their noses, DARING THEM
TO COME OUT, LIKE HONEST MEN,
AND DEFINE SOCIALISM, in it's relation
to Religion, the Home, the Marital Relation,
Social Equality, and Private Property.
EUGENE DEBS is quick to write and
quick to speak; but he IS As DUMB AS
AN OYSTER ON THOSE POINTS. So is
the turbulent anarchist, Fred Warren. So is
Robert Hunter, who went heiress-hunting
when NE married.
The terrified silence into a0hich moy fair, ze-
ultimate questions threaO these representative
and nationally bmoaOm leaders of Socialism,
ought to be sufficient, in itself, to convince
