The user of the motorcar has a
right to expect service and attention
from the manufacturer If there IS
anything defective or not performing
it's function properly it should be re-
placed or repaired without expense to
the owner.
The experience of the companies
which have been manufacturing
motor trucks have taught them that
the truck situation will have to be
handled differently.
The service departments Of truck
agencies and branches have until re-
Gently been flooded with repair work,
work being done under guarantee two
or more years after the truck was put
in service. This cost large sums of
money, showed little or no profit and
wrecked a number of factories.
The result of these conditions is
now bringing about a clearer and
more sensible idea of what a guaran-
tee should be. The most important
feature for a purchaser to remember
when buying a truck is that he does
not buy from concern that will cut
its price. In their eagerness to put
their goods on the market few COM
panies cut their prices. In some ca
ses it was more than so per cent. They
maintained free garage service and,
in fact, practically carried on the

idea and demand that it be continued
with subsequent purchases. The re-
suit was, the next order for trucks

Merchants are beginning to realize
that the loss involved by having
truck laid up for repairs is many
times more costly than the repair
bill.
The only guarantee that should be
of importance is that the manufactu-
rer be prepared to give service
promptly and at all times, day and
night; a short period to determine
that the product is or is not defective;
all repairs thereafter to be paid for by
the user, and a reduction in price for
the same article will be the result.

A LEAFLET.
The Traction Company and Its
Franchises.

The Traction Company is seeking
concessions from the people withou
offering some equivalent in value.
What does it offer? AT an earl,
day it will be demonstrated practl-
Cally that no intelligent man shOulC
accept its offers. 1t is as one sellins
bis birthright for a ''mess Of pot
ASH" as our friend Reuben w0ulC
say, or as selling ones birthright fOI
a mess of transfers." as another
friends has said recently in public
Print.
TWenty-One years past the aSSer-
ton is of record that the valuation
of the franchise of one line was
$4,000. With its several lines The
reasonable valuation of the Traction
Company property, including iis
tracks, etc, is over million dollars
At how many millions valuation will
this property be held when the pop
ulation of Shreveport shall have
reached $4,000 and then 100000?
And what is there offered for al
this? Only "a mess of transfers.
And transfers?
And reduced fare for Children?
How will these transfers transfer?
How will these reduced fares for
children operate and reduce?
The people will be told in time. Be
easy.
September 10, 1897, Shreveport
City Railway promise: That five
cents shall be the fare on each belt,
and school children three cents, with
the privileges of transfers in going
to and from school.
When was this promise fulfilled?
July %, 1908, West Shreveport
line: School children going to or re-
turning from school three GEMS
each way.
September 20, 1904, Highland Park
line: Children going to and from
school 21a cents, orphans from Gen
evieve Orphanage, policemen and
firemen in uniform free.
At what date was the 2h cents
privilege granted?
And so it is with every franchise
granted this corporation.
1t is of record that this company
has persistently declined and re-
fused to consider the question OF
transfers that are transfers and only
when the transfers were equivalent
to no transfers, as was submitted
not many years since, when the
Traction Company sought to obtain
the same privileges they are now
seeking, for which as an equivalent
is offered in glittering generalities
so-called transfers and half rates
for children, which are of value only
when obtained in little booklets of
25c and $1.00 which are not trans
ferable.

Dismissal of the Election Crooks.

The election crooks of the City OF
New Orleans to the number of a
hundred or more have escaped wei
deserved punishment on view OF
the law by Judges Baker and Chre-
tien of the Criminal District Court
of that city.
Their crimes were premedltateC
and executed deliberately for the
purposes of annulling certain
amendments to the State Constitu-
ton, voted at the election in Novem-
Der of last year.
These crooks were not called to
trial but were released on the quib-
BILE that "even though they made a
false return on the vote on the con-
stitutional amendments, they have
violated no law and therefore they
should not be punished"
The no-law plea is based on the
election law which provides penal
ties for tampering with ballots and
in stuffing ballot boxes at an election
for political office, but is silent as
to swindling and cheating at an
election for amendments to the
Constitution of the State.
Our impression has always been
that swindling and cheating was a
crime, and it mattered little if the
thief stole a sheep instead of hog,
but it would seem that when cleo
ton crooks are in the meshes of the
law there is reason for the liberia
ton of the thieves because they
stole the hog and not the sheep.
1t is not singular that the average
good citizen entertains reserved
opinion for law and the courts.
This decision has elated the rine
and the ringsters.
The plea of justice demanded 9
trial of the accused whose recourse
on being convicted was up to Tho
Supreme Court of the State.

Law Enforcement,

The activity of the police, directed
by Commissioner Fullilove, in raid
ing blind tiger dens is operating to
the decentralization of the law break
ers. If this activity is continued
there will be an enforced respect for
the law which will lead to the min
imizing of the defiers of the law. II
with this activity there were less
continuances on the part of the
courts, the blind tigers and bootleg
gers would be reduced to a mini
mum. No sensible, reasonable man
should expect the enforcement OF
the law so thoroughly as to suppress
completely the sale Of intOxicantS
AS we'll expect the crime of larceny
10 be abated altogether, but if there
was no law to restrain the thief, na
mans property would be safe.
In too many instances the reliance
of the law defiers is in delays when
the States witnesses may be in
duced to disappear or may leave OF
their own vOlition.
Another feature is in the trial OF
one case or securing the plea OF
guilty in a single case when all the
cases, probably several, are mol
pressed or are held in suspense.
1T is by the terrors of the law
that they are persuaded"

Pensions for Confederate Veterans.


In news telegram from Frank
fort, k5., Ii is stated that enough
doubt exists as to the validity of a
recent legislative enactment pro-
viding pensions for Kentucky Vet
Grams of the Confederate armies to
justify the State Auditor in refusing
to issue warrants for such pensions
until the courts so direct, according
to an opinion given by the Attorney
General recently.
Under the law the first payment
Of these pensions is due, but the
auditors bondsmen raised the ques-
ton as to the constitutiOnality OF
the act. The Attorney General said
that Kentucky's Constitution diff
fered in some respects from those
Of other States which have prOvid-
ed for Confederate Veterans.
And by this construction of law
the pension provided for the Con-
federate Veterans of the State OF
Kentucky is to be withheld, perhaps
for an indefinite period, until the
technically raised is settled judi
cially.
1t would seem that the provisions
OF law applying to Confederate Vet
erans are farcical. For illustration
There has resided in Shreveport for
many years, probably eight years,
a Confederate Veteran with rec
crd clean and true. He submitted
his application for a pension. He
and his wife are in actual need and
have been assisted by the Confeder-
ate Camp in Shreveport. HIS appli-
cation for pension was returned
rejected for the reason that he
must have been a resident of the
State of Louisiana for fifteen years
AS fact the laws provided for
the relief of Confederate soldiers
are so filled with technicalities and
absurdities as to make them inOpe-
rative. The Louisiana law shouiC
be repealed or so modified that the
Confederate Veteran applying for 6
pension or place in the Soldiers
Home should not have to place
himself in the attitude of being a
mendicant.
We should ever bear in mind that
the Confederate Veterans are neith-
er mendicants nor subjects of char
|ity, but by their self-sacrifice and
by their ennObling record of duty
they are entitled to and should re-
ceive the best that can be given tC
1them.
unfortunately the Confederate
Veterans are not seekers of aims,
and still more unfortunately they
are not politicians, and only a few
are and have been feeders at the
public crib.

C. Harrison Parker, president of the
Peniieniarv Board, who has in
dulged in an unnecessary recrimina-
ton which in no sense can be re-

by DR.. Bowling. Instead of his de-
nunGiatiOn of Dr.. bowling in words
which are reflective of his resent
ment and chagrin, he should have
courted a second visit by DR.. Dow
ling or some of his representatives
but instead he has denied this Sec
ond visit to these penal institutions
by two of the fully authorized rep
resentatives of Dr.. Bowling and the
State Board of Health.
In this second visit to these penal

ated by a feeling of friendship and
of official fairness which should
have been welcomed, but which has
met with a peremptOry refusal-an
insult as it were which DR.. Dow
ling should treat with the extreme
of contempt.
The Caucasian is neither the
champion nor the apologist for DR..

entitled to consideration becoming
his station, especially when his ef-
forts are being directed to the bet

himself as a man who is resentful

should have been more conservative
and discreet. He is certainly not the

Human Depravity.

There seems to be no limit to hu-
man depravity. In the District Court
Judge T. F. Bell, there is pending
the case of Butler Howard, aged &c
years, who has been indicted fof
rape. His victim is his own daugh-
ter, comely girl aged Ia years, who
is motherless. As the crime is re-
lated she was compelled to submit
by being horsewhipped and her life
threatened.
This is case most revolving in
its every feature. As the Caucasian
suggested when this case was first
reported after the arrest of this un-
natural father, he should be made
to pay the full penalty of the
law. And yet he may escape on some
technicality. Possibly owing to alb
sent witnesses the trial may bt
postponed.

The Weather and the Crops.

The Picayune March 10: The past
week has developed fairly good
weather conditions. There has beer
some rain in all portions of the cot
ton belt, but the showers have not
as a rule, been sufficient to inter-
fere with farm work. From all parts
lOf the South come reports that
plowing and other preparations are
in progress for the coming cotton
crop, and that the sentiment is
practically universal in favor of
greatly increasing the acreage de-
voted to cotton. In Texas there is Il
general increase in acreage being
prepared for, and in southern Texas
the tendency to enlarge the area
seeded in cotton is especially
marked.
The demand for fertilizers is re-
|ported to exceed all previous eXpe-
rience, showing that farmers are
not only determined to increase the
acreage, but to get the Gerry best re-
suits possible out of the land. The
demand for mules and farm imple-
ments is also said to be on a cor
respondingly large scale. While lit
tie planting has yet been done out
side of southern Texas, the prepar-
alton of the fields is we'll advanced
and the seeding of the crop will

There is every indication that a
full corn crop will be planted, and
in most parts of the coast section
of the belt planting is already IN
progress. The preparations for the
rice crop are we'll advanced and ii
full acreage is expected to be plant
ed. The outlook for rice is encOur-
aging, as the next crop is pretty
certain to come ON market bare
