Where We Don't Butt In.

In our mail comes request from
Natchitoches that is not without its
appealing side. Natchitoches faces a
problem in whether or not an ordinance
should be passed abollshing the free
enjoyment of the streets and sidewalks
by the cows and hogs Of that beautiful
old city on the banks Of Cane river.
It is familiar problem, It confronted
Shreveport in days agone and it pro-
voked c controversy that is historic.
Other towns and cities in the State are
wrestling with it even now.
We are asked to put in an oar on the
side of progress and civic beauty and
the eternal ttness Of things. We con-
fess that the temptation is great-aI-
most overpowering but an innate dis
erection calls a halt. ''Who hesitates
is lost, and we shall not even hesitate
what to do in crisis like this. We
shall leave the dispute severely alone,
and whatever the people of Natchito-
ches decide to do will suit us to 81"
This is the situation at Natchitoches
as we have been given to understand
it: Following period of intensive
artillery fire by way Of preparation,
the city council ordered the enforce
ment Of an old ordinance placing an
embargo on cows and hogs roaming at
large in the streets. This was prompt
ly met by a counter-attack, it seems
which took the form of petition for a.
recall to be voted on September rs.
Whether il is to recall the old ordln-
ance or the city council, our informant
neglected to say and we are at loss
to Guesao We judgesthat thesame re-
suIt-fy involved in either event.
Everybody is fond of Natchitoches.

Carver of Natchitoches, spent part of
Friday in Shreveport, while on a trip
of inspection over that part of the
route of the jefferson highway extend
ing from Natchitoches to the Oklahoma
state line. They left for Denison, Texas
Friday afternoon.
Natchitoches parish recently voted
a bond issue of $3.50, 900 to be used in
the construction of modern hard-sur-
faced roads, which are to be part of
the Louisiana link of the great Winni-
peg-to-the-G Gulf highway and Professor
Roy and his party are touring the
southern section of the road to get
pointers on road building from the ex
perience of other sections where model
roads, such as Caddo parish has built,
already exist.
Caddo's share of the Jefferson high
way is already built from the Texas
to the DeSoto parish line via Shreve-
port. DeSoto is building from the
Caddo line southeast to the Natchito-
ches parish line, via Mansfield, and
Natchitoches will build road to con-
with the De Soto road and through it
with the Caddo highway. Times.

People respect the place for that rea-
son If for no other. For another thing
it is the home of the State Normal
School, and that makes it attractive In
a more modern sense. Then, too, Nat
chitoches has street paving and good
sidewalks, and only the other day the
people voted $3.50, 10000 in taxes to
help build the Jefferson highway thru
the parish, showing that they are hv-
ing in the present, rather than in the
past.
One would say that community
which has a reputation to sustain, which
boasts of all these advantages and which
has most worthy aspirations of becom-
ing seat of learning, culture, refine
ment and art par excellence, would see
the incongruity of associating these
ideas in too close proximity with the
dreamy-eyed Jersey and the portly por-
cine, uncouth and unrestrained. But
communities don't see; they refuse to
look npon the esthetic side in such con-
troversies. Communities are utilitar-
ian. Bossy supplies SO much milk and
butter daily and the porker is the
source whence comes spare-ribs and
sausage. What chance has the rights "
and the ambitions of the individual in a
stand-up fight with milk and butter anc
spare-ribs and sausage?
And SO we are not goiug to "butt-
i'm on this Natchitoches row. We are
going to leave it to be settled by the
people most Immediately concerned,
and may the good Lord give them the
light to settle it right. Shreveport

Cane River Lake.

The Police Jury has shown its
proper appreciation of this fine
body of water, by taking charge
of it, and making important pro-

Thinking many of our people may
not been informed as to those pro-

way of information for those who
have not read the proceedings of
of the Police Jury.

nized this body of water as pub

both passengers and freight, and
