THE SHREVEPORT
Times IS SUED

A suit has been filed in the
clerk Office against the Shreve-
port Times on the part Of J. G.
Arlington, police detective, who
alleges SANDER arising from the
arrest of J. C. Wallace for at
tempting to pass a worthless
check as alleged.
In his bill of complaint Adding
ton declares that in the Times
publication he has been styled
"a fly cop," that he pulled off
a bonehead stunt in referring
to his arrest of Wallace. That
the publication is vindictive and
intimated that he had trumped
up the charges against Wallace
for the purpose of revenge.
The Times will be required to
sustain these allegations and in
default will, if SO decreed by a
trial jury, have to fork over S.
600 or less for having insinuated
that Police Detective Addington
is "a fly cop" and that he
pulled off a bonehead stunt"
It is not every newspaper that
attains the distinction of being
sued for SIS, 900. The case will
be watched with general inter-
est. Weekly Caucasian.

Sugars Prospects

Senator Foster, who is a close
observer of public affairs, states
that there is a possibility of sugar
suffering a reduction in tariff
duties of about 80 per cent, which
will diminish the earning capacity
of those engaged in the business,
and still fail to lessen the price to
the consumer. The proposed
scheme will be ruinous to this
section of the state, or it will
place labor on the basis Of star
walton salaries, and thereby con-
tribute another burden upon the
man who has to work for a living.
The politicians succeeded in
the last campaign in convincing
the people that they were being
robbed, and that their only hope
of salvation was to demand free
sugar, when in fact, it is the least
expensive of all articles in house.
hold necessities. Instead Of pay
ing the difference in value to the
government, we will now pay it to
the trust and thereby separate it
from the manufacturers, who
may have returned a part of it to
the agriculturist in the purchase
of raw material.
But the sugar industry will
never be anHihilated, even if we
have no tariff at all. As a substi-
tute for present conditions, the
big land owners will squeeze the
holder, take his possessions,
and organize on a larger scale
with small pay, on the same
that the English held
the lands of Ireland and forced
the tenants to pay such rents as
to render it impossible for the
laborer to get a living out of the
soil.
We are drifting twards this
prospective condition of affairs
every day. Prosperity seems to
its disturbances by The
creation of explosive opinions
the people, and right here
is where this unfortunate condi-
ton is coming to a head. The
people wanted what they are
to get, and they are going
to get what they do not want.

MINED 100000
WITHIN SIX YEARS
Sulphur Company Pays State
Quarterly License of
Over $4,000.

Baton Rouge, La, Dec. e. =
Under the terms of the new act
taxing natural resources, the
Union Sulphur Company will pay
to the State a license tax of S10,-
099. IL for its first quarterly out
put Of the Calcasieu mine. On
this basis, the State would de-
rive from the sulphur output
$50, 900 per year in license taxes,
as the first quarter ended Sep
TENDER Both, and covers only a
month and a half from the date
the act went into effect. This is
Independent of the ad valorem
tax on the mine property, which
is assessed at $40, 0O0, 900.
The attorney general decided
that the license tax must be paid
on the actual market value OF
the sulphur, and not on the basis
of the mines assessment. The
license paid, therefore, was or
sulphur valued at So, 900, 900,
mined within a period of a month
and a half.
During the Statewide discus.
sion on the segregation amend.
ment, it was claimed by oppo.
nents of the scheme that the
basis of arriving at taxation Of
the sulphur mine was inadequate
when compared with other pro.
posed corporation bases, anc
that the State would lose reve.
nue. to which it was entitled il
the revision plan carried. The
basis Of contention was the value
of the mine and its product. Il
now appears that this is ever
greater than opponents of segre.
cation claimed.

How Would You Like III

Any man who wishes he was a
woman should try it for a day.
Fasten a counterpart and a
blanket round your legs; buckle
a strap around your waist SO
tight you can't draw a full breath
or eat a hearty meal; have your
hair all loose and fluffy so it
keeps tickling your ears and get
ting into your eyes; wear high
heeled shoes and gloves a size
too small for you; cover your
face with a veil full of spots that
make you squint; fix a huge hat
on pins SO that every time the
wind blows it pulls your hair out
by the roots, and then without
any pockets and with a three
inch square of lace to blow your
nose with, and short sleeves, and
openwork stockings, go for a
walk on a winters day and en-
joy yourself. Oh, yes, you'd
like it, all right. II. & P.

The Frisco's Immigration
Work.

From an agricultural and in
dustrial standpoint nothing
could be more h~eartening to
those who are working for the
settlement and cultivation of the
idle acres Of Louisiana than the
announcement that the Frisco
Railroad has decided to establish
on January / a Department of
Development, with headquarters
in New Orleans, whose imme-
date activities will be in the ter
ritory traversed by the Louisiana
Southern, recently acquired by
the Frisco interests and now in
process of rehabilitation.
Saturday, on the invitation of
General Agent Lightner, a num-
Der of business and newspaper
people accompanied Sam A.
Hughes, immigration agent of
the company at st. Louis, on a
trip in one Of the Frisco's new
steel motor cars into the heart of
Plaquemines parish to inspect
the lands which are to feel the
impulse of the Frisco's ener-
giving influences.
No railroad has done more to
create agricultural and industrial
enterprises along it's lines than
the Frisco and the South and
West owe much of their develop
ment to its enterprise. For the
country south of New Orleans
the Frisco now hopes to do what
it has already done for the
Brownsville section of Southwest
Texas. In the latter enterprise
it had great natural disadvan-
tages to overcome, including the
arid character of the country.
Here nature has provided almost
every advantage which the COM
pany might ask in carrying out
its ambitious plans.
By intelligent and aggressive
use of the machinery of it's i'm
migration department of the
Frisco tempted thousands Of set
tiers to locate in the Brownsville
section, which is now dotted
with scores Of thrifty and enter
prising towns and villages, each
the center of a highly cultivated
agricultural area. There is no
reason to doubt that a similar
condition will be brought about
in the louisiana Southern's ter
ritory If. as we are assured, the
Frisco is to use the same meth
DDS that brought such potential
results in Texas.
To Mr.. Yoakum, we believe, is
due the credit for this new un-
dertaking. Louisiana ought to
be grateful for the evidence he
is giving of his faith in her fu-
tare. It was his keen vision
which years ago forecasted the
early building of the Panama
Canal and set in motion the
efforts which brought the Frisco
to New Orleans TO share in the
city's commercial prosperity with
the opening of the waterway.
Of scarcely less Importance, as
an agency to develop the latent
wealth Of the State, is his de-
cision to use all the powers of
his great organization to make
South Louisiana an object of at
traction to home-seekers. Daily

HE CARRIED an UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very 'sot"
IN her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
SO emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some eXCuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out OF
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as a flash she answered her
q1estioner, He carries an umbrella
7 whether it's raining or not-he is
| softie'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an UNI
brella"
This did not stump the old lady But
that's another NATTER don't like him
anyhow-and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
it proved to them that their tales were
not true
Finally they seized upon the fact that
! Coca-COla gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that it contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against it.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee. (even more
than in Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism Of
/ Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
/ ladys-they say But that's another
matter'-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
ing tea or coffee. it all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and if it is not
/ harmful in one it cant be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
| really helpful in whatever it is-this
is bound to include COca-Cola
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain prejudice SO you see, after
all. it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair-Adv.

and vigorous root system than is pro-
duced by only tipping the bruised
ends.
The compression Of the soil in a
wide hole is desirable to an extent
when II is not too wet but planting
in narrow hole where the roots are
cramped and curled must be con-
demned in the light of general expert
ence which proves beyond all ques-
ton that a wide spread of fibrous
roots is conducive to rapid and
healthy growth.
What do we find on digging up a
dwarfed. dying or otherwise unhealthy
bush Almost, il not invariably. we
see roots cramped and twisted and
almost devoid of fibers. And why does
transplanting young trees and bushes
in nursery induce the production OF
mass of fibrous roots, except as
consequence of transference from a
stale and compact place to soil in
condition of friable mold?
Almost any practicable degree Of
pressure over the roots in planting
may be advantageous, but it does not
follow that solidity TO check sideways
root growth is also beneficial II it
were so the annual digging, or. rather,
forking of fruit plantations would call
for condemnation.
Experienced growers Of fruit most
ly agree that they always find that
trees planted well In accordance with
what is generally considered the
proper methods flourish better than
those less carefully planted and this.
there is every reason to believe, is
the common experience
am sure that experiments serve a
useful purpose but should strongly
recommend growers of fruit not to
act on large scale upon the results
of any experiment, and although firm
er planting than is usual may be
tried, prudence directs that any furth-
er testing of the methods described
should be limited, for some time to
come. at least to small operations.
