AS TO REGULATION.
Cosgrove's Weekly.

efforts purely are tlmOorous even
when dealing with the most i'm
portant public questions, when
there is a doubt about which way
those questions will or might ef-
feet them. Hence you must look
for individual opinions On ques-
tons like the liquor traffic.
To be candid, voted for prohi-
bition as the last resort.
The saloons openly violated the
laws and Haunted in the face of tie
decent citizen that violation with
an amazing affrontry.
Further, it is a notorious fact
that, for his effort to compel an
observance of the Sunday statute,
the saloons, with a shout and a
whoop, defeated the reelection of
Chief of Police.
As a matter of truth they were
so absolutely lawlsss as a whole
that they wore the authors Of their
own undoing.
80 much for the cause for my
vote, aud l venture to say of hun
dreds of other citizens of this city,
for l have heard scores of them
repeat: Il have no objections to
men running lawful saloons, but
/ do object to saloons running my
city"
Concerted you have there the
cause for prohibition in Shreva-
port.
Many doubted its enforcement.
Many, l mean, of those who voted
for it. They hoped, and l hoped
it might result that way, but more
than a year ago l. felt sure that the
best intended police official could
only conceal the sale Of drink
while tho easy official would let it
run wild, as now.
But then, as now, l felt that no
license or regulation was at all
possible under a form of munich
pal government purely political;
municipal form of government
with no element or thought of
public business that was not con-
nected with or dependent upon or
incidental to politics. and politics
of the unpatriotic kind, such as
quite oil American aldermanlc
forms necessarily are.
A compromise with the saloon
element as an elem ent would have
been folly, for as a rule they
would have returned to their Law
violations with a shout of victory.
But, with Commission form
of Government the objections to
regulating the liquor traffic is re-
duced to the policy as against a
non-enforcement and seemingly
impossible enforcement of probi.
bition, and the most important
matter of political personality of
the official regulatorsl
This last 10 Of the utmost conse
quence!
Given a Commission form of
Government controlled in all its
departments by men who are mi.
litant government advocates, and
l doubt not the largest element of
our better citizens would sustain,
heartily, regulation that such a
commission government so officer
ed could and perhaps would sub.

not be public outburst, an indig-
nant spurning Of any regulation

ATTACK MADE ON
VATICAN ACTION
METHODIST PASTOR IN ROME
COMMENTS ON FAIRBANKS
INCIDENT.

Rome. Feb. 2S.-The American
Methodist church was crowded yester'
day, the congregation including many
American visitors who were attracted
by the subject of Pastor B. M. Tipple's
sermon, "Why Methodism Is in Rome :
1t was in the American Methodist
church that Charles w. Fairbanks, ex'
vice president of the United States, de.
liyered the address which shut nam
from being received in audience by
the pope, an incident which has ere.
ated much discussion in Rome as we'll
as in the United States.
The Rev. Mr.. Triple said the Meth
odist church was meeting with great
success throughout Italy. Such an in
ference could be drawn from the ex-
traordinary action of the vatican with
regard to the proposed presentation or
ex-Vice President Fairbanks to the
pope and also from the bitter arra1gn-
ment of the Catholic clergy. AS Mr..
Fairbanks spoke in the American
Methodist church, the pastor said it
was fitting that from the same pulpit
the charges pending against Method
ism in Italy should be considered.
"With reference to the assertion
that Methodists have no right to be in
italy" said the preacher, "the answer
is. that we are here under the Italian
laws, guaranteeing religious freedom.
Another assertion by the Catholics is
that Methodism is not needed in Italy.
But Methodists believe that the need
is urgent, as the Catholic church is
always more efficient for good when
compelled to compete with aggressive
Professionalism, as is clearly evidenced
in America.
'Italy needs Methodism because it
is no longer Catholic except in name.
The charge of Methodist proselyting
is foolish Their hands are full in
dealing with the unbelievers. This is
proved by the last census, which
shows that it reports the largest num-
ber of men without religious profess
sion. 1t is true that the Methodists
have ex-priests among the workers,
but none have been actively sought.
The Methodist schools are full because
the children's parents select them as
the best"
The pastor urged that Archbishop
Ireland specify the dishonorable Meth
odists here, and he added:
''It is playing with fire for the
Catholic church to open the subject of
moral methods in italy"

HEROIC TRAMP
GIVEN FORTUNE
COLONEL JENNINGS OF TEXAS
REWARDS RESCuER OF
CHILD.

Galveston, Feb. 28.--The filing Of
documents for record transferring a
half interest in the big Valvedere
ranch, in Jeff Davis county from Sam
Jennings, the cattle king, to Francis
r. StrOme brings to light an interest
ing incident in which Strome, who is a
stranger in this section, was the hero
and little May Jennings, the G-year-old
daughter Of Colonel Jennings was the
heroine. She was saved from death
beneath an engine, and Strome is the
man who rescued the child from the
railroad tracks and as reward for
his bravery he is given half interest
in a property sold to be worth any
where from 100000 to $1,000,O00.
Wife Dies, Becomes Tramp.
Strome is about so years old, ma
chinist by trade. and for many years
a resident Of small town in Illinois.
He met with reverses. and, after the
death Of his wife, took to drink and
had been leading shiftless life for
several years. He was beating his
way westward, trying to make Cali
fornia and was hanging around Alpine
trying to catch a train when the Incl
dent happened that brought him for
tune. The girl was crossing the rail
road track just as train approached.
The child became bewildered and
would haye been killed had Strome
not jumped on the track and snatched
her clear Of the rail just in time.
He disappeared shortly after, but
the father Of the girl had him located
about fifty miles away and brought
him back to the ranch and kept him
at the place for several days, learning
something of his history before he
told him what he was going to do for
him. Strome, who has travelled exten-
sively, was at first reluctant to accept
the gift and settle down and care for
his interest in the property.
Worth Several Millions.
On the Valvedere ranch are about
$4,000 head Of cattle. The Jennings
estate, which includes several tracts
Of immense acreage throughout west
Texas, besides large herds Of cattle in
different sections, is said to be worth
several millions.
