On the eve Of his departure THIS after
noon for summers stay at Bar Harbor.
former Senator John B. Henderson told
Washington Herald reporter what he
purposes TO help do for Washington.
7 The reporter had called on an errand
of inquisition concerning the Senator's pet
interest as a contribution TO The Washing
ton Herald's hobby series. The ven
cradle and vigorous statesman protested
that he had no hobby. The recording
messenger tried one magic word: wash
ington."
That word touched the ivory button.
It brought forth an armchair speech Of
timely interest. Concluding with carte
blanche permission TO "embellish 1t as
you please" the speech came forth in
this form:
Loyal to Washington.
| 81 am approaching my eighty-fourth
anniversary. and I am not a rich man,
/ but in the years that remain for me, and
with the resources and the powers at
my command, I want to accomplish all
that IS possible toward making Wash

wealth. and power and world position.
ct want 10 see Paris and Berlin and
| London repeated and combined with
American distinctiveness.
I'VE have in America 100000 people.
France has less. Germany has less, and
England has less. but they have Paris

! more than all these in our Washington.
IT want 10 see it done. Politicians may
quarrel about the city, and statesmen
may blunder, but whatever they say,
they are ali fond OF the Capital as the
American metropolis.
THE American people are proud OF
Washington. It is an object Of interest
TO them all The humblest citizen in the
most remote district feels the inspiring
sense Of mutual ownership when he first
views its avenues.
Our Natural wealth
IF ever a people we're favored Of God
Il is the American people. We have more
natural wealth combined with agencies
for it's development than any other coun-
try in the world. This will duly become
expressed IN the character and aspect of

without anything being done 10 has
ten the time, in thirty years Washington
will have 8 million population. Much may
be done to hasten the time
Il have tried 20 DO something; I hope

This is the country's city. Every true
American wants 10 see il become the
greatest and most beautiful Of all cap

JUDGE L. 6. HALL
Is Being Mentioned as Candidate for
the Supreme Bench.

Lake Providence Banner Democrat q:
Judge L. E. Hall of Monroe is being
mentioned as the successor of Judge
Land on the Supreme Bench and is be-
ing endorsed for the position by such
excellent papers as the Monroe News
Star, Richland Beacon-News and other
papers in the Fifth District. The News
Star says Judge Hall should develop a
constituency that will assure his cleo
ton. The Beacon-News says I'VE rise
to second the nomination as it appears
to us to be eminently proper. Judge
Hall has a most excellent record as a
man and jurist. He has ably filled the
position of district and circuit judge
and we believe trat he would grace the
Supreme Bench we'll This section OF
the district is entitled to justice on
the Supreme Bench, and we believe that
the time is ripe to demand it, and Judge
Hall with his many friends and sup
porters and ardent admirers is the logi-
cal candidate "

MARDI GRAS
1t Will Be Observed in Shreveport on
a Great Scale

Mardi Gras is to be observes in
Shreveport on an elaborate scale. The
young men having charge of this enter
tainment have been active and being
literally encouraged are assured of Sue
cess. There is no reason why Shreve-
port should not have one day for merry
making Mardi Gras is the day when
social functions are presumed to come
to a close 1t is the day before Ash
Wednesday, which is the beginning of
Lent.
1t is very true that Shreveport can
never equal New Orleans, nor can any
city on the American Continent. Mardi
Gras as celebrated in New Orleans is
always strictly original and the features
for display are of the most attractive
and instructive paraded ON public thor
oughfares. If Shreveport can not equal
New Orleans, Shreveport can have a
Mardi Gras celebration which may be
creditable and which will afford one
day of the fullest of enjoyment for all
kinds of people.

THE ELECTION
Is Progressing Slowly, but Indications
Give Assurance Of Traction Company
Proposition Being Defeated by q
Decided Majority.

The e1ectioa is progressing slowly.
The voters did not appeas at the polls
at the usual early hous
Some of the polls wese noe oPened
until 7 o'clock.
The election today as fxea legally b
for the election of a police juror. There
is only one candidate, William Winter,
the Democratic nominee. At this cleo
ton all qualified voters can exercise the
right of suffrage regardless of party
afiliation.
The election for police juror is be-
ing conducted as provided by the gen
era1 election law of the State
The commissioners and clerks named
by legal authority are also supervising
the vote being cast in what is styled the
referendum.
The issue is for or against the propo-
sition relative to the extension of the
franchises of the Traction Company in
exchange for transfers which will not
transfer.
Until Sunday, and yesterday in par
ticuIar, there was no intelligent under
standing of the proposition. The peo-
pie had been misled into the belief that
if they failed to vote for the Traction
Company, the city would go to the
Demnition Bowwows, but the atmos-
phere was soon cleared by the Caucas-
ian. In its SlAday issue there were
related facts which could not be dis
credited.
Yesterday afternoon the Caucasian IS
sue on the Question of Franchise was
so plain that it had the desired effect.
1t was the means of setting many vot-
ers to thinking and to realize the folly
of giving away valuable franchises for
song.
In these issues it was demonstrated
that the people were about to be ten
dered gold brick, and the response tc
the Caucasian's appeal to the reason and
common sense of the people is satisfac
tory.
There is no longer any doubt of tht
result. From a careful estimate of the
votes polled, it is safe to say that the
proposition of the Traction Company
will be defeated by decided majority
This viii be the record tonight wher
the aggregate of the vote is made
known.
, In such a defeat there is much fo1
! congratulation. In city as Shrevepor
! it is time that the people were becom
ing self-assertive. The city should be
made to grow and to expand. 1t should
not be tied to any corporation, or mum
| Der of men, If the citizens had en-
dorsed the Traction Company PROPOSE
ton, it would virtually have tied vi
their city What is needed is full value
for whatever franchises are yet within
the gift of the city Instead of givin!
away values for pittance we shoulc
demand adequate returns. If necessar.
we should invite the construction ant
operation of other city railroads. L
Dallas, as demonstrated in the issue o
the Sunday Caucasian and in yester
days, the city railway pay 4 per cen
of their gross earnings to the city, be
sides granting transfers which ar
transfers.
And in this connection it may be sal
that the operation of the line to Glad
stone will not be impeded in the least
And it may be added that the Loren
franchise will not expire on July
1910, but has thirty-year limit.
1t is time there was an awakening
Shreveport for the interest of the cit
and the whole people.

CONCUBINAGE LAW
Upheld by the Supreme Court of Louis

The Supreme Court of Louisiana, sit
ting in New Orleans, has sustained the
concubinage law. The complainant,

$4,000, alleging that his wife, a light
octoroon, had been removed from a
white coach to a coach assigned to ne

Anent the matter of the taking of an
appeal from the criminal district court

who was convicted in the criminal court
of violating the concubinage law, on
the ground that Treadway's wife being
an octoroon is not descendant of the
African race, it is OF interest just now
to know that this matter has already
been decided in the State Supreme
Court.
The decision was given by the high

for damages in the sum of $4,000, rep
lresenting that a conductor on the trair
ordered the minor children of the peti
TONERS, who, it was alleged, are white
children, to leave the coach for white

for negroes. When they refused tt
