Aswell Asks More Questions,

Z u j
In a speech, on Wednesday
night, in the Olympic II q !
building, on Crrrollton Avenue,
Dr.. Aswell repeated bis ques.
tions to Judge Hall, which he
asked some days ago, with this
addition Let him take the
people into his confidence and
state whether, while he was a
Judge on the bench he played the
bucket shops IN Monroe and
refused to pay when he lost. >
No doubt the Judge will refuse
to,ansWer as in the Bernstein
case but whatever action he
takes, there will something
interesting happen before many
moons.

AswelI Choice Of People.

Jas. B. Aswell is the choice OF
the people, both country and city.
He has good, clear record. as
has been proven, His enemies
tried to bemirch his record as
State Superintendent of Educa-
ton. but they felldownin attempt.
It is true that he held the posi-
ton while a ring administration
was in force, but served in the
capacity he was selected for
because he was a competent,
capable man. Does child born
while the ring held sway necessa'
rally have to grow into a ringster
politically? Aswell is wanted by
the people of Louisiana because
he has always acted the servant
of the people instead of their
master. He has always made
good his promises to the people,
and as he now promises them
true Democratic form of govern
ment, the people have the con
fdence in him and are going tc
elect him. His advocacy of good
roa0s, good schools and Qthes
things beneficial to the people ir
common will land him the nomi

EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT:
 As l am former resident of Faux ner county, 1 thought I would write you about dry Oklahoma. have been here two years. At first I was car ried away with the country, but have decided different. The year 1909 we had about half crop, which would have been a full crop in Arkansas. The next crop, 1910, was a complete failure on corn. The prospects for 1911 look dreary, for We have not had a rain since last June, and the wind is blowing here now at the rate of about 60 miles and hour. What do you think l am doing? Trying to keep the dust out of my eyes. There is fine grass and fine land here, but they are of little value without moisture.

arrived on the scene they had the

Dick Hoffman, who bears a good

the organizations will not be revived
but with the coming of spring hope
may spring again in the breasts OF
the magnates.
The Western League, which once
included such cities as Milwaukee
and Kansas City in it's circuit, has
been playing in hard luck. Wichita.
Kan, refused to support a strong
team last year and it was transferred
to Pueblo, while the Des Moines club
fell upon evil times and had to be
kept on the road for six weeks be-
cause of the Indifference of the fans
of the Iowa capital. Itlis likely that
the circuit will remain the same in
1912.
In the Southern League the attend
ance was fairly good except in Mo-
bile, and there have been rumors that
the old Gulf City, which clamored so
loudly to be let into the league a
few years ago, may be dropped. 1t is
understood that Little Rock would
like to get back into the Southern.
The Central League was the scene
of many shifts last year and the
1912 circuit is still rather indefinite.
Grand Rapids, the metropolis of the
circuit, was transferred to Newark,
O., during the last season, and later
South Bends club was shifted to
Grand Rapids to hold that territory.
while Evansville was placed in South
Bend.
The Three /" season was delayed
by internal warfare and it is not GER
tain that all the war-taxes have been
buried. so there may be a resumption
OF the trouble next spring. Spring
field, H., dropped out because the
fans of the capital city would MOI
support a winning team.
In the Texas League some changes
will probably be made before the UNI
pire calls "Play BALI at the beginning
of the next season. Oklahoma City is
dissatisfied with its berth in the Tex
as, and Galveston failed to support its
1911 aggregation.

W. A. Allen shortly after the bank
YVES placed in the hands of receivers,
and the allegations were startling
and sensational, it being charged
among other thisgs that Allen de-
posted money belonging to the loan
association with the bank when he
knew that the institution was in an
insolvent condition.
Dispositions were taken on both
sides. and the case was argued on the
merits before the chancellor during
vacation. The bonding company,
by w. H. Watkins, set
up the defense that the money depos-
tied by ALLEN with the bank was done
with the knowledge and consent of
the directors of the loan association
and therefore Allen was not liable.

bonding company that the agreepent

caused by theft, embezzlement, or de-
falcation, or in other words it vouch-
ed for the honesty and integrity of
Allen.
The final decree which was signed
by Chancellor Lyell yesterday is
viewed in the light of complete vim
dication of Allen in that it holds that
neither himself or the company which
bonded him was liable to the asso-
citation for any moneys deposited
with other institutions with the
knowledge of the stockholders.
