What the Papers Are Saying.

Shreveport Times: Most any
body, in most any town, who has
made failure of his own business.
can give the average editor cards
and spades and beat him at the
game of newspaper making.
Shreveport Caucasian: In sus-
tanning President Boyd the board
of supervisors of the Louisiana
State University responded loyal
ly to an imperative duty. The
practice Of hazing, So called, is
mean, brutal, contemplate and
cowardly.
Lake Providence Banner-pem-
ocrat: The next thing to greet
the voter will be the election Of a
judge and district attorney. Here
is where reform is needed, and it
is an outrage on the taxpayers
that the election for these two Of
ficers are not held on the same
day that the election is held for
state and parish officers.
Guntersville (Ala.) Democrat !:
One trouble with this country is
its Gland Of the free" motto. 1t
is so very free that foreign GRIM
inals use it for plotting ground
to annoy'our neighbors and even
destroy our own factories and
products: If Won Ingle were an
American in Germany he would
last about as long as a snow ball
down "yonder.
Shreveport Times: There ought
to be some method Of differentiat-
ing between the CRATER, who gets
something from railroad in re-
turn for a favor he has no right to
grant, and the newspaper, which
gives value received for every
dollars worth of transportation
furnished by the company. The
Interstate Commerce Commission
ought to have enough brains,
taken collectively, to see this dis
tinction.

STREETS ARE

COLORED, MEN
And Petitions to City Council
Are Now Being Circulated
among Taxpayers.

In response 10 a call from the min
isters OF the Nit. Zion and Trinity col
cred churches, located on Water and
Ben streets, an assemblage Of these
congregations, together with num-
ber of residents of that locality, met
at the Odd Fellows hall, corner of
Main and Elk streets, at o'clock
Thursday night. The object of the
meeting was to devise ways and
means to secure for this portion OF
the city their full and just share OF
the improvements long past due

The fact was made apparent that
owing to the deplorable condition OF
streets the modern automobile equip
ment now employed by the city un-
dertakers, is unable to approach these
churches, and that the sidewalks are
wholly inadequate and utterly neg
lected and that the crossings are so
far beneath the surface of mud that
they are impossible. These condi-
tions combined, it is asserted. rob
the edifices of usefulness for which
they were intended.
Much enthusiasm was manifested
and all are confidently hopeful that
the several petitions that are being
circulated will secure for them the
desired object.
There will be another meeting at
the same place and time Monday. All
VINO are interested are requested to
be present.
