A GLASS FACTORY PROPOSE
TON

During the week there was consid-
cred by committee of representative
citizens proposition from the Chanute
Glass Company, of Chanute, Kansas
While it was indefinite, there was suf-
ficient information developed to warrant
the assertion that the parties seeking a
location are most fayorably impressed
witt Shreveport.
II was also developed during the con-
ference that one of the enbargoes
against Shreveport is the unfair or
rather exorbitant freight rates into
Texas, an unjust and unwarranted dis
elimination which may be removed in
time, or so modified as to encourage bet
ter traffic relations between iris State
and Texas,
In Texas there is territory which
should be reached by Shreveport as in
the years before the discrimination that
now prevails.
But to the glass factory.

A telegram from Altoona, Pa, says
The Pennsylvania Railroad has ordered
that hereafter on all the liens east OF

Senger and freight stations must refrain
absolutely from the use of tobacco while

frowned upon BY the company, and at

THE TWO GLASSES

There sat two glasses filled to the brim
On rich mans table, rim TO rim;
One was rudy and red as blood.
And one was clear as the crystal flood
Said the glass of wine to the pafer
brother,
Let us tell the tales of the past to
each other.
| can tell of banquet of revel and
mirth,
And the proudest and grandest souls
on earth
Fell under my touch as though struck
by blight,
Then | was King, for I ruled in might !;
From the heads of Kings have torn
the crown,
From the height of fame | have hurled
men down,
| have blasted many an honored
name:
| have taken virtue and given shame;
| have tempted the youth with a sip, a
taste.
That has made his future barren
waste.
Far greater than a king am |.
Or any army beneath the SKY.
have made the arm OF the driver fail,
Aud sent the train from the iron rail;
| have made good ships SO down at sea.
And the shrieks Of the lost were sweet
to me.
For they said; Behold, how great you
be!
Fame, strength. wealth. genius before

WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN?

Progressive Age: What is a real gen
tleman is thus defined by a certain
writer: "A man that is clean inside and
out; who neither looks up to the rich
or down to the poor; who can lose with
out squealing or win without Dragging
who is considerate of women, children
and old people, who is too brave to lie,
900 generous to cheat, and who takes his
share of the world and lets other have
theirs 4"

THE CREDIT SYSTEM.

Mansfield Journal: Merchants OF
Mansfield report less demand for credit
on the part of farmers than formerly
arose at this time of year. This is sure
condition of the farming class and a
sign of the gradual decadence and pass
ing away of the credit system, With the
departure from all-cotton ideas and sub
stitution of diversified crops-products
that will bring in money at different
seasons of the year-the cash basis will
follow as natural sequence.

Arcadia Argus: A few more such

abundant fruit crop in this country will

GOVERNMENT BY PREACHERS


The Commoner: "An Indiana society
which talks about being engaged in the
fight for personal liberty protests
against government of and by preach
ers.' 1t is to be hoped that the doctrine
of personal liberty will not be carried to
the extent of denying freedom of speech
to those who do not drink Surely a
preacher who has no pecuniary interest
to serve, but who acts-whether mis-
taken in judgment or Woodworking to
what he conscientiously believes is for
the good of people generally, is as much
entitled to an opinion on the liquor
question as the man who, because he
manufactures it or sell it as money in
vestment, has i'll the cultivation of the
drink habit "
And to the Commoner's comment
may be added: Why not a government
by preachers, instead of a government
by brewers? The preachers plead for
good will, for morality, for law and for
order and for good government, Under
the guise of personal liberty" which is
a misnomer for license, the brewers and
dealers in intoxicants have but one aim
IN view, which is to make money, and
care little how many are ruined in health
and in character, Nor how many are
made paupers and coriminais. The diff
ference between the two is immeasur-
able.

THE FAIR GROUNDS PROPOSE.
TION

On Thursday next, February q, there
will be held special election, at which
the progressive taxpayers of Shreve-
port are expected to vote in favor of au-
thorizing the city to acquire the Fair
grounds property as specified in the
ordinance, and for the levy of one
quarter mill tax for ten years for the
Improvement of the Fair grounds prop
erty, by converting it into park as is
also outlined in the ordinance of the
City Council.
TO acquire the Fair grounds it is pro-
posed to issue bonds to the amount of
$soooo, which are to run forty years,
for which ia min tax on the thousand
dollars is to be issued.
The levy of this Ii mill tax is to be
applied to a sinking fund with which to
pay the interest and the bonds when due.
If the Caucasian did not view with
favor these propositions it would have
aligned itself vigorously against it, but
il would advise Is friends and all pro-
gressive qualified taxpayers 10 cast their
votes for the proposition,
The tax levy is light. besides as al
ready explained in previous issues.
there will be decrease in the rate of
taxation in 1910 Of = IA mills
When possessed Of the property,
which is not only desirable hut valuable,
the people will III time have place for
recreation Of which they can boast and
which VIII add to the fair name of the
city for progressNeness,
As provided in the ordinance, the
tract Of nine acres leased from DR.. ]. /.
SehusnpeFt for term Of twenty five
years to the State Fair Association, will
be under the control of the city during
ahe term of the lease. which will give TO
the people for immediate ase-a heauti-
full site for pienies, and outdoor amuse-
n,ent and recreation.
The nine acres adjoin the Fair
grounds property and has a magnificent
entrance facing the Shreveport and
Greenwood roads
What IS the attitude OF the State Fair
Association an these propositionsa
II is very simple,
The State Fair Association was or
gauized BY citizens al Shreveport and
Of this State about four years ago. who
paid in their money freely and used It
in the development Of this enterprise.
They assumed obligations, among
which is the grounds. embracing seven
~ acres, more or less, during the four
years they have given Fairs which have
been erediSahle 10 Shreveport and tol
this State, Ii IS needless 10 dwell OH |
the good which has been accomplished
through these Fairs. What the assoeia-
ton desires IS To be relieved OF the bur /
den Of paving the balance al the price
due for the grounds and which there
fore Is offered to the city
The stockholders 81 the Fair Associa- /
ton are to surrender their interest 10 /
the city. They will, Should the city ac-
Quire the property. have ne more claim
81 ownership Il the grounds than the
most humble al citirenS Their attitude /
VII simply be. as Individuals. d whom
viii he granted, as provided. the right
Of holiing annual Fairs On the grounds.

IIo ho pale brother, laughed the wine
Can you boast of deeds as great as

Said the water glass: 1 can not boast
OF king dethroned or a murdered

But | can tell of a heart once sad
By my crystal drops made light and
glad;
OF thirst I've quenced and brows I've
laved;
Of hands have cooled and souls | have
saved.
| have slept i'll the sunshine and drop
ped from the sky
And everywhere gladdened the land
scape and eye.
| have eased the hot forehead of fever
and pain;
I have made the parched meadows grow
fertile with grain.
can tell of the powerful wheels of the
mill
That ground out the flower and turned
at my will.
can tell of manhood debased by you,
That | have lifted and crowned anew,
| cheer, | help, strengthen and aid;
| gladden. the heart Of man and maid;
| set the chained vine captive free,
And all arc better for knowing me-
These are the tales they told each
other,

As they sat together flied to the brim,
On the rich mars table, rim to rim"
