BIG MEMS LITTLE CHECKS.
One For so Cents Signed by Roosevelt
Presented as Souvenir.

One For so Cents Signed by Roosevelt
Presented as Souvenir.
Adherence to formality makes many
apparently ridiculous situations. For
the man who has bank account the
undeniable valIe of a Cancelled check
as voucher OF payment is recognized.
Illustrative of this is the case Of the
one cent check drawn by T. ?. Kane,
deputy comptroller of the currency, in
November, 1907, in favor Of an A. Il.
Pistol.
On the night of Jan. 5, 1905, Theo-
dore Roosevelt was caught at big re-
ception without sou in his pockets.
OF course there were undoubtedly any
number of persons who attended that
same reception who would have &C.
counted It the highest of honors to
have lent the then president of the
United States the small sum Of 30
cents, the price of cab hire from the
embassy of England to the Willard ho-
tel, where he was to attend banquet,
q distance of less than half a mile.
He rushed to the clerks, desk and
on one of his own personal checks
drew for so cents on the Riggs Nation
al bank and paid the chauffeur. The
check for SO cents has never been
cashed, as. it was presented to the Of
ficials of the bank by the cab company
as a souvenir.
There are also times when a rich
man is situated as was the tramp who
had the $1,000 bill and starved to
death before he could get any one to
cash it.
This was the case when John Hays
Hammond, who has more money than
some of the biggest farmers have
wheat, wanted to make change" in
settling a large account Mr.. Ham
mond had to meet bill of something
more than $1,000. He had the exact
sum minus 3 cents and a $500 treas
ury note over. He didn't know how
to get the change. 1t was after bank
ing hours, and he wanted to leave
Washington at once, so he paid the bill
with the cash he had plus a check for
5 cents and had the $500 treasury note
left to carry him along on the first leg
of his trip.

UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE
CONFEDERACY.

Shreveport is honored by the presence
of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
Louisiana Division, who have come to
hold their thirteenth annual convention
The greeting accorded the visitors is
soulful.
The motto of the Daughters is: Lest
We Forget
In this motto is embodied the glor1-
Gus deeds of gallant men and the hero
ism of Southern womanhood
Il reyives the memory of the Confed-
crate soldier iii the field, struggling for
the maintenance of the principles vouch
safed by the Fathers and of the noble
womanhood of the South whose sacri-
fees and heroism have challenged the
plaudits of the world
The Daughters who are here today
are of noble lineage. They are the
daughters Of men and of women to
whom all honor and homage is due
Without their mothers and their sis
tiers, the heroism of the South, the
achievements of the Confederate soldier
would have been impossible
II was the unainching loyalty of the.
women, the mothers of the Confeder
acy, and their self-sacrihce in the most
trying Of ordea1s that stimulated the he
roes Of the South TO the most sublime
deeds Of yalor.
In our welcome to the daughters of
such women we can find no words in
which to express adequately our fullest
appreciation of tllier presence in Shreve-
port today
We should greet the Daughters not
only as friends but as the descendants
Of a glorious manhood and still
greater wornanhood whose heroic and
haiiowed memories noisten the eye with
the tear Of love.
IN brief, it may be said that the pres
enee Of the Daughters Of the Confeder
acy IS most gratifying to the citizens of
Shreveport, but especially to the old
Veterans of the Confederacy.
The visiting Daughters are the gaests
of the Shreveport Chapter and their
arfsnde.

SALOON REGULATIONS.

s@ehA@N~As4N A&s3@A ~ A-i a ANSANsls
In Sundays Shreveport Times there
was published : series of regulations
which are designed to regulate the sal
oons. To this statement is appended the
names Of several citizens, but neither oil
these, nor all Of them, could give any
substantial reason besides the revenue
anticipated or guarantee that the saloons
would remain regulated should theii
plan of regulation be enacted into law
Regulation, as it is called, wherever
tried has failed in its effectiveness be-
cause the saloon has never been regu-
lated. does not intend to be, and never
viii Be.
Individuals. with perhaps some ex-
ceedingiy rare exceptions, who engage
IN the saloon business are prompted
solely by the greed Of sel6shness, and
will resist, il not directly and openly,
At least eovertly every restraint of law.
II the saloons were tolerant of regu-
Iation there would be some reason for
good. Iaw-ibiding seif-respecting citizens
I'd become actively concerned in their
efforts al regulating an evil, one Of the
greatest which aff1ict mankind, but a
saloon regulated could not live and pay
It's current expenses.
Il viii hot Be disputed that the aver
age saloon can not be endorsed or COM
nnended, as places where men may de-
rive any benefit conducive to good NOR
ais. sobfiety. thrift and good health
The assets or the earnings Of the
saloon mist come from the individuals
who indulge ii intoxicants. and while
regulated even to q queens taste, the
policy Of the saloon is not to limit the
sale Of intoxieants 70 the minimum and
If regulated. to make money It must sell
and seli regardless Of who is made
drunk
The saloon, regulated OF not. is the
place where men are made drunk and
where young men are taught to drink.
A saloon, regulated or not, will entice
snea who otherwise would not think Of

which 10 good citizen can defend, and

HIS CHIEF CLAIM TO FAME.
Archibald Roane Made Andrew Jack
son Major General of Militia.


The recommendation of the Tennes-
see senate committee on finance, ways
and means of an appropriation of $500
to be used in marking the grave of
Archibald Roane. in Knox county, re-
calls notable events in Tennessee.
Roane served one term as governor Of
Tennessee, being inaugurated Septem-
Der, 1901 for term of two years.
He lies buried in the Pleasant Forest
cemetery, fifteen miles from Knox
vile. His grave lacks even the plain
est and most modest of markers.
Among the acts of the legislature,
which then met at Knoxville. that are
still upon the statute books are the
laws prohibiting dueling and prevent
ing the disturbance of public worship.
During his administration also Roane
county, named for him, was erected,
seal of the state
His chief claim to fame rests upon
the fact that as commander in chief
of the militia Of Tennessee he cast
the deciding vote that made Andrew
Jackson a major general Of militia, in
which position he was when the mas
sacre at Fort Minis called him into the
field against the Greeks, his success
in that campaign placing him in COM
mand Of the defense Of New Orleans
HIS success against the veterans Of
Wellington's peninsula campaign in
that defense gave him his place in the
American hall of fame.

TAFT'S SON CARRIES WATER.
Charlie Is Too Slender to Play on His

The family love of baseball has at.
tackled Charlie Taft, youngest son of
the president, and he has gone into the
game in the role of water carrier. He
is too slender to play on the team of
the Taft school at Watertown, Conn.
where he is student, but he has been
told that the water carriers rise till
they finally become managers of teams.
and he has begun at the bottom.
In recent game between the Hart
ford high school and Taft school teams
he carried bucket after bucket of water
across the diamond to Stake the thirst
of the athletes, and when the Hartford
players learned that it was the presi-
dents son who was holding the pail
for their benefit there were renewed
