[. SAUX RESIGNS;
GARDINER NOW
AT PINE TREE
w. c. Flanders Becomes the
New Head of Operating
Department of the Great
Southern Lumber Co.

Leopold Saux, for the past four
years manager Of the Pine Tree Inn
and one of the most successful and
best known hotel men in the South,
has resigned his position as manager
OF the Pine Tree Inn and the the Co
lonial Hotel, to take effect at once,
but Mr.. Saux will devote consider
able time to Bogalusa until the first
Of the year to assist the new man
ager, w. s. Gardiner, in getting ac-
quainted with duties as manager Of |
one Of the most popular hostelries in
the state.
Mr.. Saux goes back to his old love,
the Grunewald Hotel in New Or
leans, where he becomes assistant |
manager. About three months ago
Mr.. Saux was offered situation
with the Grunewald which few hotel
men could turn down, and he tenr
dered his resignation as manager OF
the Pine TreNInn. Immediately aft
erwards scores of his friends went to
him and induced him to reconsider
his resignation and he then decided |
to remain in Bogalusa. Weeks passed |
and he was made such an offer and
with such future that he could not,
in justice to himself, refuse to ac-
cept, and following the return of w.
H. Sullivan from a months business
trip in the North Mr.. Sullivan very
reluctantly accepted his resignation.
When Mr.. Saux came to the Pine
Tree Inn it was far from ranking
as one Of the finest hotels in the
state, but after few weeks Of work
the important changes were soon her
aided over this section Of the state
and the reputation of the Pine Tree
Inn continued until it is known as
one Of the best of any South. Aside
from making the hotel paying
proposition from . losing one, Mr..
Sau1 inaugurated several plans for
making the hotel popular with Boga-
lusa citizens as well as the travelling
public and after few months hun
dreds of Bogalusa people took meals
there and many were the meetings,
Iuncheons and banquets that had
their setting in the Pine Tree Inn,
and the care Mr.. Saux took to make
everything pleasant and agreeable
for the citizens of Bogalusa made
him soon one Of the best known citi-
zens of the Magic City. His many
friends will regret his decision and
departure from the city, but realize
that his opportunities are in a great
er field. The fact that he will be
connected with the Grunewald viii
result in his being in position to
still serve large number of Boga-
lusa citizens and will incidentally
make the Grunewald Bogalusa head
quarters.
Mr.. Saux will, as above stated, pay
visits to Bogalusa and assist in every
possible way until the first OF the
year and on special occasions viii be
on the job as Of old.
w. S. Gardiner, who becomes the
manager of the Pine Tree Inn, has
had charge of the operating depart
ment Of the Great Southern Lumber
Company for the past two years. He
has qualifications to make an excel
lent hotel manager and the new po-
sition comes as a promotion and re-
ward for former services. Mr.. Gar
diner will be succeeded in the oper-
ating department by W. c. Flanders,
formerly traffic manager for the
Great Southern.

Go easy on that sugar, boys. It
has been pretty scarce, but hereafter

grade of white granulated, was sell
ing for 271s cents per pound and
those who had been without sugar

WHY CAN'T LIBERAL HAVE
DECENT TOLL SERVICE

While Liberal is throwing off her
country-town ways and paving, in
stalling white way and making other
improvements, it seems to the Demo-
crat that there should be some agita-
ton for some sort of adequate tele-
phone toll service.
If one wishes to lose their temper
we know of no better way than to
attempt to talk to some neighboring
town over the long distance tele-
phone. We are not going to argue
the question as to what kind of ser
vice is given in other places; in this
we are not concerned, but we do
know that if Liberal is to make a
business center we will have to have
satisfactory telephone service with
the surrounding country.
This paper has great deal of
business with the outside territory
and could get lot more if we had
telephone service that would enable
us to take orders, but with the bum
system we now have it is hard mat
ter to tell whether someone is trying

LEGISLATIVE HoRsE.PLAY

1t is little short of a crime the
way the state legislature is wasting
time. While the people are waiting
for some real legislation a lot of
boobs with little personal measures
keep taking up time that should be
devoted to matters of Importance.
The goods road program is one
that should be considered at an early
date, yet anti-smoking, and anti-this
and anti-that tom-foolery is holding
the center of the stage.
When, in the name of common sense
will the people of Kansas put the
kibosh on penny-wise reformers who
burden the statutes with laws that
nobody cares a whoop about, and
elect men who have some idea of
law-making?
1t would seem that every two years
it gets worse. Where will we drift
in the next twenty-five years at the
rate we are going?
About the first piece of legislation
attempted was to kill the one really
meritorious bill presented. This was
Governor Aliens constitutional con-
vention measure. The idea was to do
away with a lot of the fool things
that have been foisted upon us by
previous cranks and then get things
in shape to make some laws that will
get US out of the rut. But how they
did slaughter that measure.
Governor Allen decerves better
treatment at the hands of the legis-
lature. In fact this was the main
reason for being elected governor
But the bill went to the discard and
Allen is out on a limb.
Of course the session only costs
US four or five hundred dollars a day,
so the financial side is a small matter
but how are we to get beneficial
legislation?

OIL. DOPE

The Democrat has been the object
of many good natured jests the past
few weeks over the "oil dope" that
has appeared in these columns.
This is not news and the fellows
who are having fun at our expense
are welcome to it. This paper would
like to see the country tested out, and
we will never be satisfied that there
is no oil here until two or three hole:
have been made.
If there is oil under the surface Of
Seward county the present genera.
ton had just as we'll have little Of
it as to wait until the next, but we
cannot do it unless we drill some
wells. One dry hole never tells the
story. Ell Dorado gave up after a

dry hole had been drilled, but they
finally got the oil and it may be the
same here.
If oil should be found here Lib
eral would double in size in a few
weeks and after six months no one
would recognize the town. Oil
booms work wonders and money
flows like water. We who are al
ready here on the ground floor
would stand to clean up, and we, for
one would welcome the opportunity.
When the opportunity presents
itself to get test let's get back of il
and see what we have.
