THE FOURTH AT RUSTON
Great Multitude of People and Poll
ticians from All Parts of the State

Ruston today is over-crowded with
q multitude of people and politi-
clans from every section of the State
A large delegation departed this
morning from Shreveport on a spe-
cial. The crowds on trains and in
vehicles and afoot came from every
where.
The senatorial candidates were
there. in force, excepting Foster
who was represented by letter.
The candidates for governor were
in full evidence, as were all the
other candidates.
Each of the candidates appeared
at his best, and some of these gen.
tlemen were escorted by mutual
friends as chaperones.
The woods and the fields in and
about Ruston, indeed everything and
everywhere the atmosphere is inn
pregnated with politicians and polit-
zeal talks.

committee my responsibilities are
perhaps greater than those of any
other member of the board. and NV
relations with the president of the
faculty necessarily closer. Enter
tanning the fixed views that | do, ths
hearty cooperation between the
new president and myself, so neces-
sary for the welfare of the school,
would be impossible. Thus it is,
can be of no further service to the
board and so return you by commits
sion.
With assurance to you and the
hoard of my continued regard aud
best wishes;,I am, yours sincerely,
g. w. JACK.
Perhaps the mild and over-con-
serNatlve may not agree with Mr..
Jack, but from the Caucasian's view
his course must be approved.
Let it be said in all candor, that o
man who has been a teacher for six
years in school of negroes should
not have been honored with the
presidency of the State Normal
School, an institution which is the
pride aud the boast of the State.
II there was wanting men of abii-
lty, or if Prof. Roy was the only man
capable of filling this most honor
able position, then the objection
raised by Mr.. Jack would have been
-puerile, but why select and name,
and that with fixed deliberation,
man who if good teacher is tainted
as having been a teacher of negroes!
The plea in extenuation may be
that such objection is due to racial
prejudice, which may be granted,
but why have endangered the future
prospects and the success of this in
stitution by electing for its presi-
dent man who has been for SIX
years teacher in negro school?
Why not have selected Prof. J. e.
keeney, the peer of any teacher in
Abodloiuitd' w Hy 1OG nave llOItOE6A
some other teacher equally as cap
able and in every sense worthy Of
promotion?
Is it possible that even the State
Normal is in the ENHANCEMENT ef
politics?
The Caucasian is not prophet nor
the son of prophet, but it would
declare that Prof. Roy will not and
can not withstand the unfavorabls
criticism which will follow the pub
licity Of the fact that he was for six
years a teacher in a negro school in
New Orleans.
And yet the people are told that
the schools of Louisiana are not b

A Matron at the Union Depot.

The cooperative associations OF
Shreveport have secured matron
who is Stationed at the Union Depot
The matron is Mrs. Bonnabel of New
Orleans, of distinguished French an
cestry and who is connected with
several of The most influential fami-
lies of that city. Mrs. Bonnabel is
engaged in this most laudable work
through natural incentive of af-
fording protection to the many
young women, especially from the
country, who need to be well safe
guarded from the pitfalls of the city
Mrs. Bonnabel is well experienced
in this work, which she has per-
formed most satisfactorily for years
in New Orleans. The change to
Shreveport was suggested for the
reason that she will be relieved, at
her age, of a greater responsibility
Mrs. Bonnabel is most heartily well
coined in Shreveport and is assured
all possible encouragement from the
good citizens of this community.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Regular Meeting OF the Directors
Active Campaign Planned.

The directors of the Chamber OF
Commerce with President E. X
Smith presiding, met yesterday af-
ternoon.
Chairman Ards reported that
about $4,000 had been raised, which
was within about $1,000 of the
amount necessary to meet the run
ming expenses of the organization
and that additional subscriptions
would be obtained from business
men and firms for advertising.
The secretary read report of the
advertising committee, advising that
$1,000 be appropriated for advertis-
ing. Chairman Henderson of the
manufacturers commiA.ee stated
that his committee desired iiffseetd $S24tGG9G fer
specific purposes.
The statement that the Chamber
of Commerce is being operated in
the interests of the wholesale gro
GERS was refuted in words emphatic
by President Smith. He announced
that he was prepared to demonstrate
that they had received less benefits
than any other from the operation
of the traffic department which had
helped the retailers, the manufae-
.turers and every interest in the city.
After an informal discussion it
was determined on prosecuting an
active campaign for the development
of the resources and the advantages
of Shreveport.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Cotton Has WithstO0d the Dr0uth
Corn Suffered and Is Cut Short.

Picayune July 8: During the past
week weather conditions have been
generally favorable in the south as
G whole, although there have been
complaints of insufficient moistuer
in Texas and Oklahoma. The Texas
rainfall has been light for some time
past, and, although practically all
parts of the state have received
showers, the rain has been far from
general, and as rule insufficient,
although the cotton crop has not as
yet suffered any important injury
owing to the fine rains had during
April, which have enabled cotton,
proverbially a dry weather plant, to
continue to develop satisfactorily.
Outside of the western section of
the cotton belt the rainfall has been
ample, and the cotton crop has pro-
gressed finely At the present time
the crop is probably in the best con-
dition known in years, and with av-
erage conditions from now on there
is every reason to expect record
crop, as acreage is much larger than
ever before and there has been no
abandonment of acreage owing to
weeds or any other cause.
Although cotton has withstood the
dry weather very we'll, the corn crop
has undoubtedly suffered. The re-
cent rains will no doubt cause some
Improvement, but there has never
theless been damage that will prove
lrreparable. There is, therefore,
reason to fear that the southern
corn crop will not reach the propor-
tions of the preceding year, nOtwith-
standing the larger acreage and the
propitious start.

THE WATER WORKS -
Public Discussion Of Water Problem
Thursday Night at Court House.

On Thursday night, July 6, there
will be held in the court house a
public meeting at which will be con-
sidered the question of water and of
water plant for the city of Shreye-
port.
This question is all important and
must not be connected with other
issues, nor should other interests be
interjected in the discussion, which
must be free and untrammeled.
1t is very probable that there will
be advocated the extension for a
number of years Of the contract or
franchise of the water company,
whose term of existence will expire
in August 1916, or in five years, but
the good of such policy is ques-
tionable and we do not believe would
be favored by the majority of the
people.
We should bear in mind that the
most progressive communities own
and control their public utilities, es-
pecially water and lights, but above
all water, which is indispensable and
in constant demand for all purposes.
Whatever be done should be to-
wards municipal ownership of the
water supply. Indeed, through the
commission form Of government,
adopted by an overwhelming major
ity, Shreveport is committed to the
municipal ownership of all public
utilities.
Municipal ownership of public
utilities is one of the strongest of
the ideals of this most democratic
system of government, and is en-
braced in the rule of the people, by
and for the people.

abolition of sinecures, the banish-
ment of the lobby. the suppression

chel has as much right to make
promises, which he will not and car
not fulfill, as Sanders had, especially
as his platform is a counterfeit pre-

ting any discussion Of The excellent
work the gentleman has done in the
organization Of the Boys Corn Clubs

record as parish superintendent and
principal of the high school at AVoy-
clles, and whether these achieve
ments qualify him to fill the position
Of president of the Normal School, a
six years experience as a teacher in
a negro school, in my opinion, abso-
lutcly dfsquali1es him.
The man born and reared in the
South who would teach in negro
school with a faculty of white men
and negro women is not the man to
place at the head Of the faculty~of
the State Normal School.
The Southern man who can get his
own consent 10 teach negro students
for six years in the Southern Uni
versity at New Orleans, can never
get my consent to teach white stu
dents in the Normal School at Nat
