A MEAN EDITORIAL.

We have read with surprise anG
chagrin an editorial in the Journals
issue of July 16 headed "I'he Gas
Well Controversy"
As The Journal is The official news
paper of the City Of Shreveport, by
contract with the Council, it may be
expected TO be a defender Of The
city administration, but in its I'm,
becoming criticism and Iabored IT,
fort to ridicule the committee, as il
it were the mouthpiece Of the May
or, il has exceeded every limitation
of propriely.
Possibly The Journal did not con
eeiye how offensive and unfair is Its
censure Of good citizens who i'll a
personal sense have treated its ef-
fulgence Of diatribe with silent
contempt.
Hereafter whenever the journal
may feel reckless or may deem ii
necessary to rush to the defense OF
q city official or of the city admin
istration, it is advised to be more
circumspeet in the use of its phras
ing, especially when its criticism is
suggested by an overzeal which is
plainly manifest to and is well un-
derstood by the public.

WILLING TO GROW
UP TO The JOB.
President Mckinley Stunlped by
an Office Seeker.

During McKinley's administration
Senator Carter Of Montana told this
story at a Washington gathering:
A Chicago man appeared at tho
White House one day with petition
containing 1000 names recommending
him for appointment as Brazilian min
lister. He was picture Trainer, and
when he was canvassing for orders he
took along his petition and asked ev.
erybody in the picture frame business
to sign II. Almost everybody did.
The man was insistent and finally
reached the president Always gentle
and considerate. President Mckinley
explained to the candidate that he
would have to consult the Illinois SEN
ators and representatives about the
matter before making the appointment
You know" said the president, I'VE
have to select big men for these big
places"
"Well." asked the picture Trainer,
