An Old statue.


Much interest is being taken in the
beautiful bronze statue Of Lucilli. which
King Edward had brought to Bucking-
ham Palace recently. Recovered from
Lake Nemi. near Rome. the statue is said
to have been one Of the treasures on
board the famous gallery Of Tfberius.
which, for safety. was sunk when Rome
was attacked. 1t stands about three feet
In height and is of remarkable beauty.
Now, nearly 1900 years old, the statue
was for time housed IN a small
Italian museum, the contents Of
which were recently disposed of. and By
a circuitous route it finally landed in
It's present resting place. The statue is
supposed 10 be d representation Of the
beautiful young sister of the Roman
Emperor Caligula dressed in the flowing
robe peculiar TO ancient Rome. Her
hair is arranged with fllets or golden
bands. after the fashion OF the Venus de
Milo. and about her neck is a collar Of
gold. The modelling OF the hands is par
ticularly fine, and the general beauty OF
the statue is enhanced by the curious
blue color which has spread over the
whole of the torso as result OF its
long EMERSON IN the waters Of Lake

A ROAD LAW
Proposed by an Enactment of the Leg
islature.

There is pending in the Legislature a
bill providing the construction of good
roads throughout the State, the main
features of which, as explained in the
Homer Guardian Journal, are: "One-
fourth of a mill tax to be levied all over
the State which is to compose en- masse
common road fund. The parish sites
are to be joined or connected by a model
highway. The construction and admin
istration of the highway and the funds
are under engineers and commissioners
to be appointed.
"Now, the above are some of the main
points of the bill as we understand it.
1t seems to us that it would be very
difficult to manage an affair of this kind
so as to be just to every parish. The
requirement and conditions existing in
the various parishes differ widely. For
example, Claiborne has fairly good
roads now constructed by her Police
Jury, and at less cost than one-fourth of
q LIlll. 1lCIC di Z OlIiCL pdllSilGS lldl
still adhere to the old time method and
have practically impossible roads, Then,
too, it would almost from necessity be-
come an intricate political affair, in
which the public good would be lost
sight of. We are of the opinion that
our police juries can and will give us
better roads at less cost and more salts
faction than the method suggested and
provided for in the bill"
Good roads are necessary, but the
scheme as outlined would be unsatisfac-
tory and would probably develop into
stupendous grating There are now too
many State commissions" through
which political favorites are recognized
and rewarded for services rendered. The
bill should be defeated. The State
should not be permitted to medd1e with
the function of the police jury of each
parish The whole scheme is without
merit, except to provide occupations and
emoluments for political dead ducks"

AN INFAMY

The proposed law to authorize an IL
literate voter to request any person to
go into the booth with him and mark
his ticket for him, is probably intended
to enable the political hee1er and graft
er to see that the goods are delivered
when he buys vote. The title of the
bill should be "to facilitate the buying
and selling of votes. Mansfield Enter

The Caucasian has already denounced
this infamy in vigorous words, and it

State press in the hope of noting some
expressions of protest, but in vain. The

has alluded to this vicious bill, and

HARMON OF OHIO.

Judson Harmon has been renominated
for the office of Governor of Ohio. He
is the candidate of the Democracy of
that State and is being groomed for
the presidency. In the convention the
proposition to endorse a candidate for
the United States Senate was hooted
doNn, and at the same time, there was
an attempt to discredit William Jen-
nings Bryan, who favors the nomination
OF United States senators by primary
cl ction. 1t has been charged that Bryan
has tcen trying to dictate to this con
ventiun, which is not true. The fact is
that Harmon is straddler and will, if
he can, evade an issue. AS other men,
Harmon may not be entirely free from
what is called the influence of the sys-
tenn, which dominates the Republicans
and the Democrats alike. Harmon, as
Ia Democratic possibility for President
Of the United States, may be pleasing to
his personal friends and to his followers
in Ohio, but he is not impressing the
great body of the Democracy, who ad
mire and respect Bryan The kind of
a man the people want for president is
one who is free from all political entan-
clements and connections with the sys-
tenn. Harmon is not the man wanted by
the people

A CONTRAST.

Alexandria proposes to borrow $I5ooc
to pay current expenses until October
IoII!. Some day all of us will have to
pull up.-Shreveport Journal
Alexandria is wide open town with
saloons and booze obtainable anywhere
and everywhere on demand for the
price.
If saloons and booze are helpful to a
town; if booze and saloons make bus
mess" then Alexandria should ever be
booming and, in fgurative sense,
should have money to throw at birds.
Such is Alexandria.
Shreveport is not wide open town.
1t has no license revenue from the
saloon. Saloons and booze do not flour
ish, although it is possible to obtain
booze for the price, but the booze self
ing is limited to a risk of a Jail SEN
tence or servitude on the roads. In
stead of having to borrow money as
Alexandria to pay current expenses,
Shreveport's taxable rate is to be re-
duced; the Shreveport banks are full
of money; new buildings are in evidence
everywhere; the city has contracted for
the pavement OF miles of its streets
prosperity is in evidence, and the old
town is doing fairly well, and is not GO
ing to shoel, with prohibition, as was
predicted.
So much for prohibition and push and
