An Interesting Lecture and Demonstra-
tion-Gas and Oil Wells.

AT the lecture Tuesday night in the
auditorium of the city hall, instead oil
there being one thousand there were
about two hundred citizens of Shreve.
port to hear DIR. Day on gas and oil.
However, the audience if limited en-
joyed the lecture, from which valuable
information was derived
The Caddo gas and oil fields are the
greatest in the world
The citizens of Shreveport can scarce
ly estimate the wealth within Their
reach.
With the gas supply Shreveport
should become one of the greatest Of
manufacturing centers.
Think of 24o,ooo,ooo feet of gas being
wasted daily in the gas feldi
This gas should be controlled and fur
nished to factories at 2 to 3 cents PEI
thousand feet.
To permit longer this waste of gas i
a crime. Legislation is being enacted
for the suppression of this waste, which
should be speedy.

LOUIS BERGMAN
Is to Be Returned to Caddo to Complete
His Term of Service.

After a long legal contention, the
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has
affirmed the decision of the lower court
in the case of Louis Bergman, who
skipped the good roads camp when he
was serving a sentence for selling booze
Bergman and A. Shulsinger disappeared
from the good roads camp at the same
time. Shulsinger had been convicted as
a boozer and was doing service on the
road. The two men went to Texas,
where they assumed they were secure.
However, Sheriff Flournoy kept .on
their trail and sought their return but
at each attempt he was checked by legal
proceedings on the part of Bergman.
Finally the issue was brought to the
Court of Criminal Appeals which, in
brief, recognizes the authority for ex-
tradition and puts Bergman in the Gus
tody of the sheriff of the court in which
Fort Worth is located, and who is to
be delivered on demand to the legal
lGpI SSSIltdllNe u NdudO pdllSil.
This decision is far-reaching and will
lead to the return of several of the
fugitives from the good roads camp
This decision would in effect reach
Flanagan who, as reported on good att
thority, has gone to Oklahoma. Even
there he may be apprehended.
Instead of skipping, had Bergman and
others complied with their sentence they
would now be. free. As it is, he and
others will be returned and be made to
conform to the mandate of the law.
From the beginning of this legal pur-
suit District Attorney Foster was con-
fident that his contention would prevail
and that Bergman would be returned in
time Had he been less active and dill
gent he would probably not have been
successful. Deputy VIM. Cawthon will
leave this evening for Bergman.
At last accounts Shulsinger was in
Colorado

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 mill tax to be levied all over
the State which is to compose en- rnasse
a common road fund The parish sites
are to be joined or connected by 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
mill. There are other parishes that
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, iii
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 NEEDLE 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

FOR LIFE
John Wesley Thomas Convicted by a
Jury.

John Wesley Thomas was convicted
by a jury of the murder of Richmond
Smith at Hosston, La. The negroes had
been playing craps at Christmas time,
when a row occurred over the money.
In the melee Thomas was disarmed by
Smith. Thomas left but returned in
about twenty minutes, when he shot and
killed Smith. Thomas skipped, but was
arrested in Monroe. The State was rep
resented by District Attorney Foster,
and the prisoner by Ben H. Lichten-
stein.
The prisoner was found guilty of
murder without capital punishment; the
penalty is imprisonment for life.

1t is pleasing to note that Chief of
Police Mccormack has declared that he
is going to do his very best, with the
force of police at his command, to en-
force the law against the blind tigers.
1t has beeu said there are no blind
tigers in Shreeeport; at least they were
tame, harmless and invisible.
The statement by Chief Mccormack
would indicate that the blind tigers are
in Shreveport and may be caught.
1t is conceded that it is not as easy
to apprehend blind tiger then and
there as it is to roll off log, but, not
withstanding the boarding of the tiger
in his den may be effective and the eff
fort may be tried.
It is not possible to estimate how
many beer and whiskey joints ope-

Adenoids.
from the Columbus Journal.

From the Columbus journal.
There IS much said about adenoids. and
if they are as important as claimed they
are entitled to a great deal Of attention
An exchange. In speaking of lecture on
these pesky things. begins thus: ASK
your child to say nine hundred and
ninety-nfne. II he says, dide hu'dred a d
didety-dide. you had better call in the
doctor tomorrow and have the adenoid
tissue removed"
says everybody has adenoids; they are
natural and all right. except when some
thing gets the matter with them. and
then they are all wrong. They are a
normal growth, back Of and below the
nose. and give no trouble unless they be-
come diseased. Of which they are very
liable. An inspector in the New York
schools says that 25 per cent OF the pupils
have adenoids
1t is said that physicians easily recog-
nize the adenoid face-the mouth hanging
down, the complexion pasty, the eyes
blank and dull, imperfect breathing, etc.
which conditions are accompanied by, a
stagnant mind, fretful disposition and
harmful habits. This makes a diseased
adenoid a very serious thing, and so. calls
for the performance Of a prompt duty.
The removal Of an adenOid requires a
surgical operation, but not a serious one
There is sharp little pain attending. but
this is almost instant, and with a little
care afterward the person is all right, il
tho operation has been intelligently done,
which sometimes is not the case. 1t is
this bit Of surgery that keeps people from
getting rid of the adenoids, especially
those Of children. But this objection does
not at all measure up to the benefit that
follows. But, remember. there are very
many cases where adenoids are only hall
removed. and they return. Let only
those do the work that know how.

A Heroic First Nighter. :"
a the New York World.

From the New York World
Men indulge curious ambitions. Some
have been known to follow the engines to
every fire or to attend every ball game
Others have aspfred to eat thirty quail IN
thirty days. An esthetic equivalent of
these feats was undertaken by the prom
inent man-about-town whose aim 1t was
to witness every opening performance at
the theater. and to him clearly belongs
the palm. He set himself in the name of
amusement task from which conScien-
tious professional critics shrink In the line
of duty. Assuming that he consistently
adhered to his program, he attended 156
frst-night performances last year in a
season Of forty weeks. He saw seventy
four new plays and thirty-four revivals
OF old plays, thirty-seven musical come
dies and eleven Shakespearean revivals.
What an amount of confused and tenuous
plots, of inane dialogues, of revamped
wSticisms and jingling melody he heard
along with little that was worth while!
"a modicum of pathos that rang true. of
real tragedy and a saving grace of gen.
uine acting in strong situations If play
is useful as a purge of the emotions, as
Aristotle said, the emotions of this per-
sistent f1rst-nighter. his sternly depressed
impulses to tears and laughter. must have
been in q readily responsive state.
No doubt 1t was a liberal education of
it's kind To have looked upon every
chorus girl in New York and seen every
show girl in her dangerous poses. to
have followed the really competent actors
through their seasons repertoire-that is
surely something. though the allowance
OF wheat to chair may be small. Yet the
wonder remains at the self-appointed or
deal which was so heroicalfy endured in
tho pursuit OF pleasure. Was It as re-
suit Of tho task that he was never known
to smile?
