days since Charles +. Crane and
Richard w. Norton, of Shreveport,
were before the Supreme Court of
Louisiana fo@ examination and to
their credit be it said that each
stood the ordeal which has been ex-
perienced by every member of the
bar.
The final test had been preceded
by an examination before COM
mittee which was most satisfactory.
Having emerged triumphant from
the scrutiny of the Justices of the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Crane and Mr.
Norton are now recognized as being
qualified to practice the law, which
is to be their profession. one of The
nose honorable and exalted in the
service of mankind.
For years Mr.. Crane has been
identified with the press as re-
porter for the Journal and for the
Times and has now connected with
the office of the Clerk Of the Dis
trict Court, where he is acquiring
useful information that will prove
valuable to him in the future.
! AT this time Mr.. Norton is filling
,credibably the office of City Audi
tor. Preceding his acceptance o.
! The position he was employed as a
stenographer for Hall & Jack, where
he devoted his spare moments to
the study of law.

| IT would seem needless to say
that these Two young gentlemen

A MEETING OF CITIZENS

A call has been issued for meet
ing of citizens which is to be held III
the Court House tomorrow night,
Monday, Feb. 10.
In the announcement it is declar
ed that at the meeting there will
be discussed the conditions exist
ing in this city.
What are these conditions which
are to be considered, in public
meeting, by citizens of Shreveport?
1t is also announced that the
meeting is to be non-partisan and it
is TO determine whether law def
ance is to prevail in Shreveport.
The close observers have not been
unmindful OF condition, which
if tolerated may precipitate the
most undesirable of contention.
After all the safety and peace of
a community must rest on the I'M
partial and fearless enforcement OF
law and justice regardless of The
social station, or the color OF the
offenders.
1t will not be questioned nor de-
MED that The enforcement OF law
and the melting of full handed jus
tice is dependent on the courts and
The officials charged with the main
tanning of peace and order.
II would seem from recent devel-
opments that one of the tribunals
dispensing law and justice in
Shreveport is the source and the
subjec. of public censure. This TIL
bunal is the city court, where few
DAYS ago witness was assaulted
brutally and cowardly while the
victim of this outrage was practi-
cally in the jurisdiction Of the court
The offender has not been held
to account for contempt. II may
he queried seriously what woulo
Judges Bell or Sutherlin have de-
creed if such an unwarranted as
sault on witness, held under the
nile and therefore under the juris
.liction and control of the court, a

TO THE PUBLIC

II cough syrups could cure coughs
every time. itw ould not be necessary
for US to print this information, but
there are SO many cases of chronic
bronchitis in town that have hung
on for months and years, and We feel
that we must tell you what we know
about it.
1t is a positive fact that the only
right way to treat a cough is to use
a remedy that acts on the hood, such
as Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron preparation without oil.
This makes theb lood rich and pure
so it can heal and strengthen the in
famed bronchial tubes. Its taste is
30 pleasant that even children like It.
Mrs. Olivia Parham East Durham,
N. c., says, II used Vinol for a couch
which had lasted two years and it
gave me perfect satisfaction. am
also giving 1t to a delicate child to
strengthen her. She will not take
any other medicine but Vinol is so
pleasant she cries for it and it is
benefiting her very much"
Remember II vinol does not help
you It costs you nothing.
