Shreveport Times: Never in the history
of Caddo Parish have there been so many
homicides as during the past two years.
Never have there been so many verdicts OF
"not guilty" Either we have been get
ting rid of lot of undesirable citizens by
the pistol route or justice has become hal,
as we'll as blind. Whatever the cause OF
the failure Of justice in Caddo, it must be
found and eradicated. For the conclusion
is unavoidable that there have been grave
failures of justice in our courts, especially
with respect to the crime of murder, other
wise we must confess to the world that we
are harboring more bad men than any
other parish in Louisiana-so many more
that shooting them on sight has become q
sport and pastime. Neither Of these al
ternatives is to Caddo's credit and neither
can do otherwise than work to Caddo's
injury.

THIS WE CAN DO!

AS we face the stupendous problems OF
modern life-the diseases which must be
healed, the poverty which must be abol-
ished, the political corruption which must
be extirpated, the industrial strife which
must be stIled, the injustices which must
be banished, the sins which must be at
once blasted and forgiven-and then, on
the other hand, survey the poor abilities
and feeble purposes which we can bring
to the solution of these problems, there are
few of US perhaps who are not discouraged
at the contrast which is thus presented.
What is there that we can do to bring order
out of chaos, and some good out of chaos,
and some good out of much evil? Where
can we apply the little energy and capacity
with which we have CHANGED to be endoW-
ed? We hate the evil and love the good;
we have the passion to serve and the ambl-
ton to achieve: there are some of us who
would gladly sacrifice our all, if we only
knew some altar upon which it could be
laid. But the very immensely of the prob
lem overwhelms us. The very completely
of the difficulty confuses US. And behold
we stand with with idle hand, doing moth
ing, simply because we know not where to
find entrance into the lists.
For many of us-nay, most of us!-there
is undoubtedly place in the ranks of the
army of God. He who really wants to
serve can usually find the chance. SIM
cere desire, more often than not, seems to
create its own opportunity. But even
though this be not true in our particular
case, there is no reason whatever for our
feeling that we cannot use our one talent
to good purpose. There is no one of Us
who is not filling some place in the world,
however small-charged with some task,
however ignificant-brough into per-
sonal relations with some people, however
few. And to the extent at least that we are
thus part of one little segment of the
human whole we can offer our unit of de-
voted service. We can be a good comrade
with our associates in the days work. We
can do our task as though on honor and
speak our word as though under oath
When we sell we can put honest goods
upon the counter, and when we buy we car
pay one hundred cents on the dollar. We
can cleave to simplicity of life and abhoI
luxury. We can respect all women as
though they were our sisters. We car
keep our hearthstones unspotted from the
world and thus make our home to be as g
Holy of Holes in Gods temple. This
and much more than can be detailed here
can we do, be we rich or poor, high or low
great or small. Nor is this petty or un'
worthy offering.
How wonderfully Stevenson expressed
this truth when he said, in that great par
agraph which shall live as long as words
have meaning:
ITO be honest, to- be kind-to earn {
little and to spend little less, to make
upon the whole a family happier for hi:
presence, to renounce when that shall b,
necessary and not be embttered, to keep
few friends, but these without capitula
tion-aboye all, to keep friends with him
sef-here is task for all that man ha
of fortitude and delicacy."

The Star understands that the
schedule complained of is not the
one the officers of the road wish to
make, but is forced on them by the
absolute necessity of connecting with
the Seaboard in Ocala. The sched-

Palatka as it is to Ocala. It does not
fit any local travel, whatever, and
does little or no good with distant
connections.
