Citizen Makes Reply.
(To The Caucasian

In last Saturdays issue of the
Shreveport Times there appeared
an editorial anent the defeat of Mr..
Atkins and attributing his Waterloo
to the confidence of his friends.
Any one who has any reverence
for reason must admit that Mr.. AT
kins was defeated because he was
and is the friend Of corporate inter
ests. He drove the first nail in his
political coffin when he and the
other commissioners forced on the
people the six-year contract. All
who take an interest in matters of
great moment to the welfare of the
city can recall how the Citizens
Committee representing the plain
peOple-the consumers of gas and
eleCtricity-Went before the commits
SiOnerS and asked them to help in
defeating the six-year contract. We
all know how the commissioners
turned a deaf ear to this request and
at this stage of the proceedings legal
talent and political perspicacity as
usual thWartcd the will of the plain
people and scheme was formulated
by which an election would be
called for the voting of bond issue
for city electric light plant. The
trainers Of this scheme well knew
that if this was defeated then the
people would have to rest content
with the passage of the siX-year
contract. This election was called
with the predelerminatiOn of those
who brought it about to vote it
back the election for the six-year
contract until the bond issue for the
city electric light and gas plant was
defeated. It was defeated by the in
telligence and influence of men who
were supposed to represent the
plain people and who deserted them
in their hour of need. Mr.. Atkins
was an ardent champion Of the Flee
trio Light and Gas Company in the
six-year contract election which
soon followed the defeat of tie bond
issue for the city electric light plant
and we all know how the argument
was used with telling effect that the |
bond issue for the city electric plant |
had been defeated and the plain
people had better vote the six-year
as they could not have a
plant Of their own without bond
issue, and thus it was that the six
year contract was forced on the
people. It is no wonder that the |
Electric Light and Gas Company can
force us to pay an unjust price for

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Question of Acreage Most Debated
Point-Government Reports Will
BE Issued i'm July.

New Orleans Picayune, May ~
The past week has been a most fav
orable period in the cotton belt a:
far as weather is concerned. Their,
has been /ut moderate rainfall ant
in many sections there has been NJ
rain at all. Such showers as have
been experienced have been ligh
and rather beneficial than other
wise The cotton belt has now expe
rienced fully two weeks OF goos
weather, and according to all &C
counts excellent progress has beer
made in finishing planting ant
chopping out the crop. The eottor
planted has terminated quickly ant
made rapid progress, the heavy win
ter and spring rains having put The
ground in excellent condition fol-
rapid growth Of the plant.
The question ef acreage is now
the most debated point, and as the
government report will not be is
sued in all probability until July
the uncertainty on that all-impor-
tant point is apt to be prolonged
longer than usual. Such information
as is available indicates that the de
crease in acreage if any has been
moderate, as those sections where
there is an appreeiable decrease are
offset by equally appreciable in
ereases in others. particularly in the
western portion of the belt. In Tex
as the crop is reported to be making
excellent progress and an early mar
keting from thai important Stale
may be expected.
The way in which crop conditions
have improved in the central and
eastern sections of the best is truly
remarkable. Even in the overflowed
districts planting is being prosecut-
ed as rapidly as the water recedes,
and there is now an excellent pros
pect that the ultimate yield will be
affected but little by the great flood
in the Mississippi river and its
tributaries.
The corn crop has made good
progress during the past week, and
although backward, is beginning to
promise well. Rice has been hurt by
the floods in several sections and
the present outlook does not favor
a full crop this year.
The sugar cane crop is making
some progress, but is still very back
ward and very much in the grass.

State.
Certainty. no people ever had a
greater incentive to high ideals than
We Of Louisiana. The history Of
our state has been one of mighty
struggles and grand achievements,
No weak or irrcSOlUte people could
have SulmOunicd the difficulties
our fathers ON"rrun" or fought
more VaIIantIy with nature to re
deem our rich domain from the
Hoods. No less heroic people could
have cleared away the jungles and
carved out such splendid estates or
WithSlOud the raVagcs of war and
horrors Of reconstruction and made
the lands bloom with harvcsts.
No people anywhere have more
superb empire to develop for their
children. The long struggle has been
worth all tn" sacrifice and the fOun-
dati0nS W" have laid have been
broad and deep enough to sustain
the mighty structure which our pos
tcrity will put upon them.
1t is our hands that must beckon
the capital we need TO develop our
resources. our voice that must send
a greeting to the men who are TO
come to make the waste places
blossom, and our deeds that must
inspire full confluence in the admin
iSlratiOn of justice and wise govern
mcnt and cordial cooperation when
they come among us.
II We DO Our Part Well
the result is assured and a more
enduring and pervading prosperity
will come than any we have seen in
the past. The vicissitudes of the
past and present will be set at
nausht in the splendid era that will
come and abide with us in increas
ing splendOr as our children appear
upon the stage of life to take our
places.
The present calamity affecting di-
rectly a part of the State will not
discourage our people. | firmly be-
lieVe that the object lesson has gone
deep into the hearts of, the Ameri
can people and has awakened ten
der chord in the breasts of millions
that must summon the Nation to its
duty. believe that the picture of
flooded acres throughout the great
valleys and the cries of suffering
thousands have struck deeper into
the national conscience than all
other appeals could have done and
that the end of our long struggle is
in sight. Ere long we can stand on
these bluffs where we now meet and
look down on the mighty river with
out fear or trembling, seeing
stretching away to The horizon the
fairest Towering of the fairest
fields of the continent, no longer
covering under the cloud of disaster
but joyous in as bright sunshine and
balmy breeze as ever danced and
smiled upon any portion of the
earth.
