Better Clean Up, or DR.. Bowling
Will "Get YER

As DR.. Bowling is coming and
will be in Shreveport when least
expected, owners of dairies, restau-
rants, eating houses, hotels and
butcher shops should have their
premises clean and up to every
common sense requirement of SAN
itation
Not only should the front part of
premises be cleaned, but the rear
should be as clean as the front.
There have been filed complaints
against parties who have been neg
ligent and dilatory in complying
with the requests of sanitary in
spectors to clean up, and these may
feel the heavy hand of the law if
they should persist in ignoring the
rules of sanitation.
Among the sieliHaaeHtss afe,-dai-

Mrs. McRae Acquitted.

The aequittal of Mrs. McRae at
opelousas, La, by a jury is not sur
prising. In this trial there was in
jeeted an unmeasured limit of SEN
timentaHty. The States theory Of
murder was fully sustained. The
plea of defense by Mrs. McRae was
that when she shot and killed Allen
Garland it was to protect her honor.
1t is we'll to be always chivalrously
inclined towards woman, but as
demonstrated by the State, Allen
Garland was shot and killed as he
sat in a chair with his hat and a
cigar a this side, all of which dis
credits the statement that he was
advancing on her. 1t was disclosed
in evidence that Mrs. McRae and
Allen Garland had been very init
mate.
If Allen Garland could speak-but
he is dead.
Mrs. McRae, her husband and her
children We're jubilant over the YER
dict of the jury, while Allen Gar
lands relatives were mute in their
amazement and surprise.

The Masses OF the People Are
Honest.

New Orleans States: There is
proof that a vast majority of the
people are honest, not only the we'll
to-do, but the very poor people. The
Survey reports that the Hebrews
Free Loan Association of New York
has in five years lent $2,5000OO to
81 500 people. This society was or
ganized to help men and women,
without regard to race or creed,
who were in pressing need of tenn
porary resistance, and the figures
which we have given shows how
wei! it has served this charitable
purpose.
The loans last year amounted to
s56O,OO0 and went to 10000 people in
sums of S. to 5000, repaid in weekly
instalIments without interest. All
the money lent has been returned
except $500, hence the losses are
less than per cent Of the whole,
and due, it is said, in all but few
eases to the inability, not the dis
honesty. of the borrowers.
The report of this society shows
how utterly indefensible is the claim
of the average loan shark that he
must charge high rates of interest
in order to make good heavy losses.
It proves that remedial loan asso-
citation, charging a reasonable rate
of interest, would not only be use
full charity, but it should pay the in
vestors fair return upon their
money

money.

1t is only recently that Attorney
General Guion ruled that it was not
lawful TO hold a primary election for
delegates to the State convention
contemporaneously with the general
State election, but if such primary
we're held itsmust be with an extra
|set of commissioners and clerks at
separate booths, etc.
This announcement was surprls-
ing, but as the Caddo Democratic
Executive Committee had already
ordered a primary for the nomina-
tion of delegates, no attentian was
given to this declaration of the At
torney General, but since then he
has revised his opinion.
1t is now declared that delegates
to the State convention and parish
committeeman may be 'eelcted at
the election for State and local Of
fices on April t6 and at the same
polling botohs but in separate boxes,
all of which may be supervised by
the commissioners and clerks.
If by reason of any doubt as to the
| legality Of the primary ordered by
the Caddo Executive Committee,
there has been some hesitation on
the part of any Democrat, especial
Ily in the country, to announce for
delegates, the Attorney Generals re-
vision of his first opinion removes
lall question of legality.
The nominations will close on
Tuesday next, April 9, at IL o'clock,
Who would be a delegate should

A Sensation Collapsed.

A few days since an abandoned
child was found by a negro in va
cant lot on Texas avenue near the
head of Hope street. The infant,
from appearances, was supposed to
be white, and a great sensation was
therefore anticipated. 1t has devel-
oped that the infants mother is COL
ored, and while admitting that its
father is a white man, she has re-
fused to divulge his name The
mother has promised to take care of
the child. Comment is unnecessary.

Caesar DeBose Once Again.

1t would. seem senseless to arrest
Caesar DeBose on charges of ordi-
nary misdemeanors or for violation
of the prohibition laws. He was
again in the tolls recently, but when
the trial was called the evidence
against him failed. Caesar DeBose
has been called for trial rapidly, but
he has escaped conviction either on
technicalities or the disappearance
of the States witnesses, and the fire.
queney of his escapes have probably
led him to believe that the law is a
joke.

A. Statement from Commissioner
T - Atkins

The Caucasian has received from
w. S. Atkins, Commissioner OF the
Department of Streets and Parks, a
lengthy statement in which he e-l-
plains his position in relation to a
recall petition.
The gist of the proposed recall OF
Commissioners Atkins is "for the
reason of the condition OF the
streets under his administration,
and the neglect to keep them in
good and proper condition, and that
he has shown that he is incompetent
to fill the office
In his statement in reply to this
discredit MIR. Atkins says:
Less than two years ago | was
elected councilman and superin-
tendent of streets and parks. | took
the soffice subject to the condition
in the act creating the commission
government, that should prove un-
faithful to my trust, the people
would have a right to demand my
recall"
'''Phe charge necessarily implies
neglect of duty on my part i'll fail
ing to keep the streets, during the
unprecedented rainy weather, in
better condition, from which is
drawn the inference that | am in
competent to-fill the office. Ii
have neglected my duty | should be
removed. II not, | should be per-
mitted to serve out the term for
which Twas elected
He then cites how some. OF the
paved streets have been torn up to
lay the wires underground, and a
number of the unpaved streets have
been graded preparatory to paving
and laying water and gas mains,
and with these conditions it was inn
possible to keep the paved streets
clean during the rainy weather with
so many unpaved and muddy streets
leading into them.
In his statement Mr.. Atkins says
the only promise. he made before
election was that he would devote
his entire time and attention to the
duties of the office, and this prom
ise has been kept, and he has done
the best he could under adverse cir
.cumstances and with limited funds.
z This proceeding is not the ordi-
nary election in which each voter is
to express his preference between
rival candidates, but it is in the ma
ture of jury trial in which each
eIeetor is a juror to decide whether
or not | am guilty of the charges
preferred. The people have elected
me to this office to serve for term
/ of four years, and, unless | have
done some act or left undone some
dtl which warrants my recall, am
entitled in all fairness to serve out
nay term, an dshould not be humil-
lated and discredited by a removal
from office.
'sThe issue is simply this: Has At
kins been unfaithful to his trust?
Does he deserve removal? The peo-
pie are my judges. All / ask is that
Ethey be unprejndiced and impartial.
From a fair verdict | have nothing
to fear

DR.. I. vi. Toier Acquitted,

DE- T. N. ToIer, physician of
Vivian, La, was tried on Wednesday
in The District Court. Judge T. F.
Bel, for violation of the prohibition
law.
1t was in evidence that DR.. Toler
had prescribed Whiskey for a man
who needed this stimulant, II was
also in evidence that every physi-
Clan in Vivian has prescribed whis-
Leg iii certain cases.
In his evidence DR.. Toler admitted
he had been misled when he pre-
seribrd whiskey for J. NJ. Webb,
detective employed by Sheriff

Judge Bell held that il was possible
to deceive a physician in getting
prescription, and acquitted DR..

In the consideration of this case
it may be pertinent to inquire if
there is not some drug or prescrip-
ton that would stimulate as we'll as

n. G.. BLANCHARD,

This guarantee or contract is
probably unknown to many, and
has been t rgotten by others. In it
there is no reference to the Shreye-
port Traction Company. Should the
election of April 9th go against the
Traction Company, the guaPantors
would be confronted by the two
horns of dilemma. IT is inconceiy-
able at this stage that they would
choose that one involving the task
of refunding the money to the lot
purchasers and annulling sales and
contracts. The warrantors have
ample means and ability TO prompt
them to take the other horn. Their
characters are above reproach, and
their motives not questioned. At the
same time it is not probable that
they signed the guarantee exclusive
ly for their health
Every individual within the con-
fines of Greater Shreveport is in
favor OF this line. Nevertheless, the
facts considered, it does not appear
that the success of this line is de-
pendent upon whether or not. in the
coming election, the people cast
their votes as desired by the Trac-
ton Company.

district after an absence of sew
eral years. He looked around
over the district for a time seem
ing to have no particular business.
He needed money AMI finally
he decided that he would try to
make a small stake by extracting
and shipping the small amount
of ore on the Suider group. The
permission Of the other owners
was secured without difficulty.
Hiring a few men, he went to
work.
The more work that Chitten-
den did the more ore he develop
ed. Soon he was making regular
shipments to one Of the Douglas
smelters, where he was given an
exceptionally low rate because
his silicious ore was needed to
mix with the product of other
mines
Today Mr.. Chittenden has
practically bought all the other
interests in the snider group and
seems we'll on the way to make
another fortune.
A few months work on the
Snider group has had perfectly
amazing results. The main ledge
is from six to eight feet wide. 1t
is a quar5zporphyry intrusion
through d body of Pinal schist.
Practically the entire ledge is ore
averaging ten per cent copper.
1t was once thought that the ore
was only in. pockets.

The deepest is down about $50
feet and is running into chalco-
cite.
No discovery made on the
Snider group is more astounding
than that the Pinal schist also
carries copper. 1t carries no cop
per on the surface, but

The Dear Old Mother

We do not know who wrote
this, but we do know that it
would pay many a young man
to cut and keep it;
Honor the dear old mother.
Time has scattered the snowy
flakes on her brow, ploWed deep
furrows on her cheek, but is she
not beautiful now? The lips are
thin and shrunken. but these lips
that have kissed many a hot tear
from the childish cheeks are the
sweetest lips in the world. The
eye is dim, yet it glows with soft
radiance Of holy love which can
never fade. All, yes; she is a
dear old mother. The sands Of
life are nearly run out but feeble
as she is, she will go farther and
reach down lower for youthan any
one else upon earth You cannot
walk in midnight haunt where
she can not see you, you cannot IN
ter a prison whose bars will keep
her out; you cannot mount a
scaffold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless you
in evidence of her deathless love.
When the world shall despise and
forsake you, when it leaves you
by the wayside to die unnoticed,
the dear old mother will gather
you up in ler feeble arms and
carry you home and tell of all
your virtues until you almost
forget that your.soul is disfigured
by vices. Love her tenderly, cheer
her declining years with teeder
devotion. F."
