men, whether of the press or the
forum, can have informed them
selves on this subject. 1t is GER
tainly true that not one of them
has yet explained the points
raised by Mr.. Campion in his
Herald interview. No one, so
far as we have observed, has un-
dertaken to say how schedule X
can possibly be revised all by it.
self and without reference to any
of the other schedules. Mr..
Campidn points out distinctly the
elements which must enter into
the revision of that schedule if
such revision is to be made fair,
honest, just or practicable. He
shows that in any revision OF
schedule K, whether upward or
downward, several other sched-
ules must at the same time be
revised upward or downward.
For example, Mr.. Campion
shows, schedule A, embracing
chemicals, oils, and paints, would
have to be considered in any in
telligent revision of schedule K.
Chemicals, oils and soaps form a
vely important part OF the ma
| terials in the fabrication of wool
en- textiles. If the tariff on wool
en- cloth is to be lowered and the
tariff on chemicals left untouch-
ed, then the domestic manufac-
turer is placed at direct loss
and disadvantage through the
| fact of an unreduced cost OF ma
terials coupled with lower duties
on his product.
When schedule K is in course
of revision schedule C, the iror
and steel schedule, must of nee
essity be taken into account, TO.
the machinery used in woolel
manufacturing plants bears a du
ty of As per cent ad valorem. In

THE WATER SUPPLY

Is to Come from the Red River Direct
Through Intake Agreement Reached
at a Meeting of Citizens and the City
Council Held Yesterday in City Hall.
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1911-04-09

There was held yesterday beginning
in the forenoon 4 meeting of the Coun-
cif with a number Of citizens. In attend
ance was Mr. 4. NJ. Lynn Of Pitstburg,
Pa, president of the Shreveport Water
works Company Mayor Eastman pre-
sided.
There was read long report on wa
ter by experts, and then Mr., Lynn was
invited to address the meeting, and after
having explained the situation as to the
water supply and the efforts of the COM
pany to give the people the best service
possible from the source of supply from
the bayou, he retired, and then followed
general discussion of the water prob
lem Finally an agreement was reached
which has not been put in writing, but
is substantially to this effect:
The Waterworks Company is to con
struct new intake so as to get the wa
ter supply direct from Red river, above
the mouth of Cross bayou. The water
is to be conveyed by pipes direct to the
pumping station. The cost is estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000, the city to
pay per cent interest on the cost up to
as much as $4,000 during the remainder
of the franchise of the company. Be-
fore the expiration of the franchise,
should the new intake be abandoned
with the city's consent for another wa
ter supply, then the city is to pay at the
expiration of the franchise so per cent
of the then value on basis not exceed
ing $4,000 for the entire cost
At the expiration of the franchise,
should the company be taking its water
from the river through the new intake,
| then said intake is to be considered and
regarded as part of the waterworks
plant in the event the city should pur-
chase the plant under the provision in
/ the original franchise or contract with
the company, providing that its value i'll
such event should be fixed by three ap-
praisers, one appointed by the city, one
by the company, and the third by the
other two. Or, in the event of the ex-
preparation Of the plant, the new intake
is to be considered by the jury at its
then value in fixing the amount to be
paid
The franchise of the company was
granted August Il, 1886, for a period OF
thirty years from that date which will
make the franchise expire August II,
1910, a little over five years from today.
There is no obligation in the original
franchise on the part Of the city to buy
the works unless it should elect to dc
50, in which event, should the parties be
unable to agree on a price, arbitrators
shall be appointed as above set forth.
Thus the city will be at liberty to
build its own plant if it sees fit. The
new contract to be entered into with
the company imposes no obligation tc

buy either the new intake or the water
works as a whole, but merely provides
that in event the new intake is aban-
doned with the city's consent that the
city shall stand one-half of the cost as
above outlined

peculiar Characteristic Of the saloon
that those who patronize it prefer
the free-and- saloon. and the man
who tries to conduct a respectable sa-
loon is driven out of business by the
man who has no scruples about the
way he conducts a saloon. There are
few Independent saloonkeepers today,

coming monopolized by the trusts

the greatest profits. no matter how
obtained, is the kind Of a man they

Personal Liberty.

We hear the liquor element crying
out, "We want personal liberty" Dur
ing the French revolution one OF the
victims being led forth to the guillo-
tine cried out, "Oh. Liberty what
crimes are committed in thy name"
We might cry out today. "Oh Per-
sonal Liberty. what crimes are COM
mltted in thy name" What does the
liquor traffic want personal liberty
for? 1t Kills 10000 people iu our
country every year; that means 81
100000 people in mans lifetime Of
seventy years. and they. want per-
sonal liberty to continue the slaugh-
ter. The liquor traffic produces IS
per cent Of our criminals. so per cent
OF our pauperism, and so per cent
OF our insanity; and :. wants personal
liberty to continue to do so. 1t takes
$1,000. 100000 of the peoples money
every year. and 1t wants personal lib
erty to keep on taking IT, Personal
liberty should end whore Il becomes
menace to the community; and the
liquor traffic lont ago became "a

who said:
1--WE will not trouble ourselves
about what the saloon might have
been, or try the difficult task of find
ing an ideal saloon, as it is here and
now"
The saloon is place where men,
women 'and children. having the
necessary money, get drink-and get
drunk. 1t is a school wherein hus-
bands and fathers learn to be at
ease about ill-clad and il-fed wives
and children. and TO ning away those
airy notions called honest pride and
laudable ambition, for the solid graf
ification of their palates. and sensi-
BILE "feeling good all over. 1t is a
school wherein also wives and moth
ers learn to forget their husbands
honor and their own and to steel their
hearts against the cries of neglected
little ones 1t is school wherein
sons learn to despise the quiet pure
Joys of home, TO become vile in word
i'm act. in aspiration, and to fetter
themselves body AMI soul with the
drink demons chains. II is a school
wherein daughters learn the shortest
way to break their parents hearts.
to think a blush weakness. to prize
drink more than decency. to become
viler than the mud in the citys
streets.
The saloon Is the friend of the
drunkard. the gambler. the prostitute
the blasphemer. the profaner Of sun
day the corrupt politician. the ball
lot-box suffer. the repeater" the
law breaker of every name. The sa-
loon is. in u word, the friend Of all
that is evil of naught that is good.
II defles all that 1t touches II makes
the good bad, and the bad worse.
Like vulture. 1t thrives on carrion;
cholera like, 1t feeds and fattens on
physical and moral dirt, disease and
degradation. 1t breaks hearts. wrecks
homes. infeots society, betrays the
state. and is the foremost ally of the
devil against the church and God
1t is the 'vestibule of hell" Read
over its door. Leave hope behind"
Farewell, indeed, to hope of honest
wealth, Of honorable fame. of happy
life. of holy death, of heaven. Once
begun, swift the decent and fearful.
Out by many by-ways go the gradu-
ates of the saloon. In the cutters
they wallow. In low dens and broth
els they lead living deaths. In gloomy
prison cells they pine and rot. In
cages they rage and howl
ON grim scaffolds they pay the price
of blood. Only Gods omnipotence
can snatch them from the one end

saloon? Years ago. near where |

took compassion upon the poor work
ingmen that he saw going into sa-

home drunk to their families. He
said that he would start a model sa-
loon, so that the poor workingmen
could get their drink and go home
sober to their families He had prop
erty and money to spare, and he
started his model saloon. He would
not sell liquor to any one who ever
got drunk, would allow no minors In
his saloon. and would allow no ours
ing or obscene language In his place.
He would sell only two drinks to any
one; he closed the saloon at 10
o'clock and Kept It closed all day sun
