GOING TOO FAR
interfering Politics i'm the Organiza-
ton of Daughters of the COnfed-
eracy.

The Monroe Independent says: Al
attempt is now being made to com
nit the United Daughters of the
Confederacy to the support OF Ware
Boss Michel for governor, because
Mrs. Edward Gottschalk of New Or
leans. state president of the Organl-
cation. has seen fit to express hel
personal preference for him in its
name. The New Orleans plcayunt
hopped on it like a duck on a June
bug. saying:
"That expression (referring tc
Ward Boss Michel's platform decla-
ration concerning the Confederate
Veterans) of high appreciation anc
sympathy for those honored surviv-
ors of a noble element of the popu-
lalion has aroused the enthusiasm
of the Confederate ladies assocla-
tons. and yesterday Mrs. Edward
Gottschalk president Of the Louis
lana Division of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, addressed tC
Observation-Disclosures Michel
letter in which she offers hearty
thanks and congratulations of the
ladies of the veteran association
over which she presides."
Mrs. Gottschalk assumes a great
deal when she undertakes to speak
for the entire body of United
Daughters of the Confederacy anC
she will find not a few who, white
agreeing with her on the sentiment
expressed by her candidate, do moi
think him the proper anan for gov
ernor of Louisiana.
While Mrs. Gottschalk has real
lied her bad break and attempted tC
correct it, in a way, by an explana-
ton. the effect is the same, and she
can not undo what she has done
The haste with which Mr.. Michel's
campaign manager gave her letter tC
the press and the use made OF 1t by
the Picayune shows how it was I'M
derstood and taken. A letter by Mrs
Gottschalk in her own proper per-
son to Mr.. Michel endorsing his can
didacy would have had no signifi-
cance and been without effect, bu
written on the stationery of the or
ganization and signed by her as
president gave it an Importance the
trained press agent and campaign
manager we'll understood. Mrs
Gottschalk should resign.

TO THE LADIES
A Request as to Their PrOXies-The
Electric Light Issue.

As property owners and taxpayers
the ladies can vote by proxy at the
election fixed for Tuesday, Octo-
Der II.
The main issue is on, the PROPOSE
ton to vote $4,000 in bonds with
which to acquire ar electric Light
plant which is to be owned and ope-
rated by the city for the benefit of
all the people.
A municipality owned electric light
plant will mean a great saving to ev-
cry consumer and to the city, a saw
ing which in time will lead to I'M
told benefits.
1t is of record that electric light
plants are the greatest producers of
profits. Indeed, they are money
makers for the stockholders of all
such corporations, which explains
the strenuous opposition
to municipal ownership by the cleo
trio light plant owners and those
who are connected with and inter-
ested in its profits.
When in operation the municipal
ly owned plant, as a money-maker,
will contribute towards the increase
of the city funds, and this will lead
TO the reduction of taxation.
The verdict impartial is that mu-
nicipal lighting plants, wherever
tried intelligently, have proven to be
successful. Why should not the
most satisfactory results be obtained
in Shreveport.
Be not deceived nor misled by the
ready plea of water and of water
works.
The issue now is not water, but
electric light.
In time we must and will acquire
and control the water system.
The twaddle about water is SIM
ply to defeat and to confuse the is
sue of light.
Do not give your proxy to any one
who is not in favor of the issue of
the $4,000 bonds for the proposed
municipal electric light plant.
When your proxy is solicited be
sure it is not given to one who would
help to defeat what the great body
of the people want.
Every woman taxpayer can help in
the cause, which if successful will
operate TO the greatest good for all
the people of Shreveport.
Shreveport must-be kept in line
with progressive development.
The ladies, we would rather say
the good women, have never failed
in their alignment on the side of
right. Their influence in this con-
test and their votes by proxy will
determine the issue in which the
civic pride of Shreveport is involved

ford Camp U. C. V. of Shreveport,
held recently.
The Kinney design is not sutfi-
GENTLY heroic and it fails to portray
the characteristic Southern woman
of the sixties. It is somewhat dull
in its intent at expression. There is
offered for this design a substitute
which represents the Confederate
soldier as he was and the woman of
the South as a Spartan and History
inscribng the record of Confederate
valor in bold and truthful words.
The contrast between the Kinney
and the substitute design is striking
| If a monument is to be erected to
commemorate the heroism of the
women OF. the Confederacy, the mon
ument should typify the women OF
the South who faltered not, whose
sacrifices are indescribable and
whose loyalty to the COnfederacy
was unreasonable and without
limit. 1t must be a monument that
will keep ever fresh in mind the
most sacred and profound reverence
for the grandest and the noblest
women of the South.

Georae II. Russell.

Red River Democrat Sept. p: We
regret to call the attention of our
readers to the death of Mr.. George
H. Russell, which occurred in
Shreveport a few days since. Mr.
Russell was one of the pioneer citi-
zens of this parish, where he spent
the earlier years of Ills life. He was
u good substantial citizen, always
ready and willing to lend his ener-
gies to the upbuilding of his town
and parish. He was kind, generous
and lavish in his hospitality. He
was friend to all alike. There is a
host of friends here who are panied
to learn of his death. The loyal man
ner in which he treated his friends,
and the consideration with which he
treated all, won for him a place in
the hearts of his earlier friends that
will be hard to fill. The editor per-
sonally feels that he has lost one OF
his closest friends. We extend sim
cere sympathy to his relatives.

for a monument to the women of the

RECIPROCITY REJEGTED.

The Canadians have rejected by
an overwhelming majority the reci-
procity rendered by President Taft
The only conclusion which may be
reached conservatiNely is that the
sentiment in Canada is against trad
ing with the United States. This
feeling has been intensified by the
apprehension that the United States
is scheming to annex Canada. With
this defeat is involved Sir Wilifred
Laurier, who is acknowledged to be
one of the greatest men not only Of
Canada but Of the British Empire
He favored reciprocity. He has paid
ffe penalty for his progressiyeness.

The Reason and Its Answer.

Thibodaux Commercial Journal
Why is it the railroads make con-
cessions to Sanders, the Governor
and candidate for the United States
Senate, even including special trains
and the same is not for his oppo-
nents? For his Baton Rouge rally
the Texas and Pacific ran the first
excursion out of Thibodaux on its
lines for two years. Local associa-
tons of charity, for church, or fol
anything can not secure a special
excursion either in or out of ThihG-
daux, yet Sanders without any guar
antee secured a special dollar rat
to Baton Rouge with a special rain
if you please, for his second canl-
paign opening. Is it because the rail
road fears his power after he will be
senator, or is it that the railroads
know they can depend upon him as
its representative, or has he CEN
ferred favors on the railroads wlllIe

OpELOUSAS TRAGEDY.

A few days since in the town OF
Opelousas Allen 7. Garland, aged %
years. was shot and killed by Mrs. j.
p. McCrea. The tragedy occurred in
the home of Mrs. McCrea, who al
eges in extenuation that Garland
had insulted her grossly. The offense
as claimed by Mrs. McCrea is one
that would or should arouse the re
sentiment of every virtuous woman.
It would seem that the young man
had called frequently at the home OF
Mrs. McCrea and on the morning OF
the homicide he had come with a
spool of thread, which she had re-
quested from the home Of Garland's
mother.
From the meagre details OF the
case it is not possible to conjecture
any plausible justification of such a
deed.
It is scarcely believable that a
young man of twenty-three years
who was good neighbor and good
| friends, should have offered an in
suit that would warrant his killing
If he did offer such insult he could
have been held to strict account by
the husband of Mrs. McCrea.
1t has developed that Garland was
fleeing when he was shot and killed
The prevailing impression is that
Mrs. McCrea was too hasty, too
quick on the trigger"

What Is If?

The Commoner: In opposing the
recall in the governors conference,
Governor O'Neal of Alabama spoke
of 1.-THE caprice of the majority" and
added: when you establish an ar
bitrary recall of judges you have in
stituted mob law in this country
We have already established an ar
titrary selection of judges. What
about 'the caprice of the majority
in the selection of these judges?
Have we in that way instituted mob
law?

The Little Men and Women.

Eve-Up-to-Date in Times-Demo-
Icrat: Now that the little men and
women are once more vending their
way to school, mothers should exer-
else watehful supervision over the
lunch baskets. Food values should
be carefully considered, and lunches
arranged in an appetizing and dainty
manner. This will be appreciated by
even the smallest maiden or most
careless youngster.
Sandwiches will enter largely into
the bill of fare, but there are SO
many things that they should never
be allowed to pail on the appetite.
Custards and simple puddings can
be baked in individual cups, and the
small screw top jars are convenient
for holding variety of edibles.
Very young children are generally
granted several recreations during
the day, and are apt to eat their
lunches at the first intermission, and
then remain fasting for longer pc
riod of time. To guard against this,
provide a few crackers or a fruit for
the first recess and instruct the
child not to lunch before noon.
Teach the children to remove the
contents of their baskets or boxes on
their return home from school, and
10 leave the covers open, otherwise
they will soon acquire a musty, dis
agreeable odor.

DR.. GRANT MAY
Be ACQUITTED

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., May 25.-
Attempts to learn from members Of
the judicial commission OF the Pres
'byterian general assembly which Is
reviewing the heresy charges against
DR.. Grant, what action will be taken
met with failure.
1t is rumored that the commission
has agreed in facts but is divided on
the question Of expediency.
It is felt that in view Of the wide
publicity given the case, DR.. Grant
will be called before the commission
to make a further and clearer state
ment as to his views.
If he can bring himself to say that
he denies no doctrinal points but
merely differs on translation and in
depreciation Of some passages of the
holy scripture, the commission. one
clergyman explained, could then make
report confirming the action Of
the North Cumberland presbytery,
which acquitted DR.. Grant.
In statement DR.. Grant admits
having said ONE of the remarkable
things attributed by him by wit
nesse at hi trial, but he declared that
in every case the context OF his re-
marks would have taken the edge off
them and removed every trace of
hereSy."

RR|NTON CASE
MAY end TODAY
(Snecial TO the 7ribune)

MANDAN, May 25.-It is rather
expected that the case in which Edi-
tor Brinton Of the Beach Chronicle
is charged with assault on one,
Sutherland, will be ended today. This
case was transferred from Dickinson
on change Of venue and has been
long drawn out affair. There have
been over thirty witnesses called and
there has been much contradictory
evidence offered. 1t may 60 to the
jury this evning, but there is a pos
sibility that it will drag out until
tomorrow.
Brinton is defendant in another case
in which criminal lbel is charged, and
it was at first thought that this case
would follow the assault case, but
since that time it is understood that
there will be some delay in starting
the case as there are number of
other important cases to be heard
this term and some of them may be
sandwiched in between the Brinton
cases.
