AN EXPLANATION DESIRABLE.

"Dr. Aswell spoke of Judge Halls
persistency in holding on to his Of
flee as Supreme Court judge, and
stated that the impression that
Judge, Hall had not yet qualified was
erroneous, as he had not only taken
the oath of office, but had received
his commission. Judge Hall, the
speaker said, has been a part of the
State ring for years, and only turned
reformer when John NJ. Parker jour-
|neyed to Monroe to bring him out
The statement quoted is as report
ed from Lake Charles, where Prof
Aswell delivered an address on Sep
TENDER 5.
The charge that Judge Hall has
Teen part of the State ring for
years should be explained.
How is it that such information
should have been left to Prof. AswelI
for divulgement at this late date?
Why has Mr.. Michel and his
friends who claim exclusive owner
ship of the ring as the regular Dem
ocracy, been silent?
Why has Mr.. Ewing not disclosed
this intelligence?
In the course of this gubernatorial
contest Judge Hall has been criti-
cised for acts of commission, but he
has so far escaped the allegation OF
horse stealing.
Perhaps, owing to his years, he
was not of age to list as a Confeder-
ate soldier, and therefore if he were
held accountable for appropriatine
one or more hogs. the biting hog
he could plead guilty with becoming
grace of a veteran of Lee or oil

If Judge Hall has been part oil

that it shall be demonstrated. Which

WANTED-TEN THOUSAND DOL
LARS.

At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
held Tuesday afternoon there was
presented a proposition the gist OF
which is that ten thousand dollars
shall be raised for the purpose of
advertising Shreveport and Caddo
parish as we'll as North Louisiana.
Ten thousand dollars is a great
zeal of money, but it may be Sc
cured, and should be, if a number
of wealthy property owners were to
subscribe as literally as the men en-
gagged in business who, as rule, are
generous in their contributions to
public enterprises.
1t is not possible to forecast the
benefit that may be derived from the
intelligent expenditure of ten thous-
and dollars in the judicious adver-
tisement of Shreveport, Caddo par
ish and North Louisiana.
The assertion is here ventured
JiIdt oiIl6N6pOIb 10 tllC DCoL duSCl -
tised town of 10000 inhabitants in
the United States, and this publicity
has been obtained at practically a
nominal cost:
For much of this publicity the
press should be given the fullest
credit.
Another medium through which
there has been accomplished much
good is the State Fair of Louisiana
And there is being offered today
the greatest opportunity for adver-
Using Shreveport, Caddo parish and
North Louisiana through the Land
Show at Chicago. The advertisement
which is the most attractive and the
most convincing, at least to home
seekers, is in the practical demon
stration of the products of the sol
and in the opportunities being Of
fered for diversified industries. II
brief, any publicity which is reas-
enable and judicious is beneficial
and therefore it follows that the ter
| thousand dollars wanted by thu
Chamber of Commerce for the adj
yertisement of Shreveport and Cad
do parish and Of North Louisian;
should be readily subscribed.

The Main Issue.

Lafayette Advertiser: Don't lose

down the State machine, and give the
people back the control of affairs.

thousand dollars cash and an equai
sum annually for five years-that was
the figure.
By saving and scheming Edgar had
reached the point where he could raise
about half of the sum required, but
and it was certainty that his uncle
would sell out to somebody else unles
the deal could be closed very soon.
A man named Bardwell, who owned
two banks, was anxious to come in.
He would have bought the paper for
cash If the elder Hewitt would have
sold it to hiEl, but Bardwell was in
politics for revenue only and desired
the paper only as an adjunct to his
schemes.
Upon certain afternoon Bardwell
saw reason to transfer $150O00 in cash
from one of his banks to the other
He put the money into a hand bag and
started across with 1t himself About
midway between the banks some clev-
er person knocked Bardwell's spec
tacles from his nose-which was
equivalent to binding him-snatched
the bag from his hand and made a
clean escape.
An hour or two later a man named
Henry Sanderson was arrested on the
street because he seemed to fit the de-
scription of the thief and was known
to have done such things before.
Among those who investigated the
case was Edgar Hewitt. and he formed
q very gloomy opinion as to the bank.
er's chance of seeing his money again
and more especially of Edgar Hewitt's
chance of finding the loot and securing
the reward Sanderson had arrived ia
the city on the previous evening and
had taken a room at the hotel. This
was his only known center of opera
tons, and be had not visited 1t after
Bardwelrs mishap. He could not be
traced to any possible place where he
might have deposited his plumber.
Surprising that Sanderson was guilty.
1t seemed probable that be had passed
the money to a confederate who had
escaped from the city.
At this point In the case ray OF
light illuminated the darkness have
said that the staff Of the paper In
cluded one other living and waking
member besides Hewitt. This was q
bright girl named Mabel Reed, who
gathered the news which was of es-
peciaI interest to women and made
herself useful in various capacities.
Her accomplishments included the ex-
pert use of the camera, and she sup
piled the paper with material for most
Of its illustrations.
Miss Reeds nature combined the 70
mantle and the practical In admirable
proportions In her secret heart she
was utterly devoted to Hewitt. His
career was the subject of her dreams
Among those who saw Mr.. Sander

camera that looked like purse. She

Cotton CaterpiIIers,

The cotton caterpillers have been
i'll evidence in many fields of cotton.
In some sections the plants have
been stripped of foliage. IT is the
same caterpillar which swept the
fields of cotton several years since.
The check for this pest is paris
green, but it is now about too late
to apply the poison. The presence Of
the caterpillar this season should be
a warning for next year. 1t will be

BANKERS FIGHT RESERVE BILL
Measure Virtually Fences Off State
Institutions From Others.

Kansas City, Jan 26.-Hostility has
been aroused among the bankers of
Kansas against the adoption of a bill,
which will come up for consideration
before the legislature of that state Fri
day, and which virtually provides that
Kansas banks shall be fenced off from
the other banking institutions of the
nation. The bill is one providing that
so per cent of the legal reserve of
Kansas shall be kept in banks in cities
of the first class in the state.
The legal reserve of Kansas banks
will aggregate probably 100000
This money is kept in national reserve
cities, set aside by the banking laws
of the country. 1t is the intention of
the trainers of the bill to have this
money kept in Kansas banks. Kansas
City, Kan, is a national reserve city,
one of fifty in the country
c. w. Brokaw, cashier of the Com
mercial National bank of Kansas City,
Kan, this morning assigned reasons
why the proposed legislation should
not be adopted.
First we have had nothing what
ever to- do in the matter" he said,
speaking for the banking firm, the
largest in Kansas, which he represents.
"Our effort has been to induce Kansas
bankers to keep their reserves in Kan
sas, but we would prefer that action
on their part be voluntary and not
compulsory. Love can not be COM
PEELED; it must be impe11ed. The wis
dom of the bill is, to say the least,
debatable.'
