The Tripoli Coast viii.
Occupied by Italians by
Tonight

The first blow in the Turkey italian
war has been struck by Italy. Within
twenty-four hours Of the declaration
Of hostilities the Italian warship un-
der the command Of the Duke d.
Abruzzi has bombarded the Turkish
seaport Of Prevesa. destroying the
government houses there and dis
abling the Turkish torpedo boat.
There has been no hostilities up to
o'clock this morning but the Italians
are reported to have landed west Of
Tripoli. A large Italian cruiser is re-
ported to have gone ashore in Trip
oil harbor. Turkey has asked the
United States to take charge of Tur-
keys subjects in Italy but in the
meantime Germany appears to have
assumed this obligation. The Turkish
government is strengthening its mill
itary force; on the Greek and Monte
negrin frontier.
The Turkish parliament has been
summoned to meet Immediately. Tur-
key has addressed another appeal to
the powers saying there is still time
to prevent the evil effects Of the con-
hict. In Italy the declaration of war
against Turkey has been received with
enthusiasm in all parts of the country.
The impression prevails in diplo-
matte quarters in Berlin that the con-
fiict will be of short duration.

Advertising and Advertising.

This is an age of publicity, the
advertising through the press and
|other mediums the things which are
needful and useful for sale or for
purchase. One of the mediums
through which Louisiana and its re-
sources are to be advertised is the
exhibit at the Chicago Land Show,
beginning November iS and ending
December g. This exhibit of the re-
sources and the advantages of this
State is to be under the management
of a commission named by Governor
Sanders. This exhibit unquestion-
ably will prove to be most beneficial
as it will present in actual demon
stration the possibilities of the State
to the hundreds and thousands of
farmers from the North and North
west and to home seekers and in
vestors who may be induced to come
South.
In this exhibit Caddo must occupy
a prominent position, and from such
advertisement there should be de-
rived greater results tain usually
come from periodicals.

emitted by the man as long and
powerful shark swished through the

District Attorney Heney.

In a clip from st. Louis paper of
recent date, which has been lost
District Attorney Heney gives his
Views on the municipal ownership
of public utilities. District Attorney
Heney is known throughout the
United States as the fearless official
who prosecuted and convicted the
thieves and scOundrels of high and
low degree who revelled in wealth
during their tenure of office in San
francisco.
In his Investigations he realized
how great is, the opportunity for
grating through the system OF
mayor and aldermen or councilmen,
and having also directed his inquiry
| into the commission form of govern
ment, especially in its application to
the public utilities, gas, electric light
and water, he reached the deliberate
conclusion that all public utilities
should be owned, controlled and Op-
Grated through the municipal COM
mission for the good and the benefit
of all the people.
Under the system of municipal
ownership Of the public utilities,
graft is almost impossible, but if
there should be developed any mis-
feasance or malfeasance it can be
readily detected and squelched and
the guilty brought TO the bar of JUS
tlce, convicted and assigned to the
pen
Besides, the municipal ownership
of the public utilities are advantages
in that the consumers are not re-
quired to pay great profits which go
into the pockets of the stockholders
Of the privately owned public utili-
ties, which are capitalized in excess
OF their actual valuation.

State Senator ]. Rush Wimberly.

There was happy man in New
Orleans recently. His joy was over
flowing. The joyful gentleman is
State Senator J. Rush Wimberly of
the parish of Bienville. His exulta-
tion is over his assurance that Sem
ator t. C. Barret of Caddo is no
longer held in favor in New Orleans
but that he, Wimberly, is now the
chosen. As prognosticated by the
would-be lieutenant governor, he
feels certain in his own mind that
he has Barrett bested.
Mr.. Barret has chance to carry
only three parishes in the Fourth
Congressional District" said Mr.
Wimberly. He will carry Caddo by
q nice majority, I presume. He has
a chance to carry Natchitoches, and
he may carry Bossier, although am
not so sure about either of the last
two mentioned. He will carry NO
other parishes in the Fourth dis
trict."
1t would seem that State Senator
j. Rush Wimberly of Bienville par
ish is almost as good a claimer as
Sanders.

remain vivid in their memory. Last
night about 9 o'clock lightning
struck tank of oil of $4,000 gallons
capacity, in which there was about
5000 gallons. In an instant there was
a flash and the fire burned fiercely
until this morning, when the oil was
exhausted.
The tank and oil were the prop
erty of the Gulf Refining Company.
The oil men and the citizens of Oil
City worked heroically in removing

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 OF, the PROPOSE
ton to vote $4,000 in bonds with
(which to acquire an electric light
plant which is to be owned and opes
rated by the city for the benefit of
Jail the people.
A municipality owned electric light
plant will mean a great saving to ev-
cry consumer and to the city, say
ing which in time will lead to un-
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,
Indirectly, the strenuous opposition
to municipal ownership by the cleo
ltric 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.

NOT A CANDIDATE
David ROsenthals Explains Why in
Several Reasons Which Should
Enlist Attention.

In letter to the public David RO-
senthal gives reasons why he is not
a candidate for the office of judge of
the City Court His publication
would suggest an inquiry into his in
timations. If there be anything
wrong with the court or its connec-
tions, there should be a full inquiry
into the facts. Here follows the let
tier:
Shreveport, Sept 20, 1911.
To the Public: In justice to my
SELF my friends and my enemies T
feel ii a duty to announce that 1 will
not be a candidate for the city
judgeship. In making this statement
| | think that some explanation is
necessary in order that those who
were so kind as to assure me of their
support may not feel chagrined at
my withdrawal from the race. wish
to preface my reasons for my with
drawaI by thanking each and all of
my friends for their expressions of
good will and to assure them Of my
heartfelt thanks.
There are several reasons which
have actuated me in my present de-
|clsion.
First-At the inception of the
campaign on account of the status
af the City Court, and as a young
practitioner and a man of family, /
felt it obligatory to offer myself as
candidate for the office, as | knew
then and know now, that the exist
ing conditions in the City Court call
for the Indignation of all right
thinking men. | realized that there
were other members of the bar bet
ter quelified, both by experience and
by age, to offer themselves for the
office, and at the beginning | took
the matter up with several members
of the bar in an effort to have some
good, clean, conservative man like
Mr.. f. F. Bell Jr., or Mr.. Roland Will
Hanson, at present a candidate,
make the race for the office, as |
knew that both of them are broad
minded enough to render justice re-
gardless of what might be their per-
sonal views on any matter. stated
that if either of these gentlemen
would make the race | would with
draw, and as lawyer who has every
ambition to uphold the ethical side
of my profession, | can not see how
any fair-minded man can criticise
my straightforward statement. The
Judiciary is one of the most sacred
institutions of democracy and those
who are chosen to fill a judicial Of
flee should be above petty trifles,
which necessarily go hand in hand
with factional politics.
Seeond-No sane minded man
would tolerate or palliate city court
conditions as they are at present.
realize that the above statement is
a most serious charge, and | certain
ly ask that each voter and citizen of
Shreveport investigate it in order to
see whether or not my accusations
are we'll founded. Yours respectfully,
DAVID ROSENTHAL.
