The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1902-05-22

Siberia has evidently not been abol-
ished as penal colony. Reports from
ST. Petersburg show that many stu
dents who were engaged in the recent
demonstration have been exiled to Si-
IBERIA, though for only short terms.
Nicholas H., it was said year or two
ago, had stopped sending prisoners to
Siberia. The running Of the railroads
through that continent. however, will
ultimately do more than the ukase OF
czars could toward knocking the penal
colony obsolete. 1t was isolation that
made Siberia a stowing-away place for
the dangerous persons of Russia.

Sacrificing Men to Principles.

MORGAN's GOOD DEED.

In the opinion of the Boston Adver-
tiser "Mr. j. P Morgan deserves the
thanks of his country for one not in
considerable service, at least He has
pnetty we'll done for the ship subsidy
schemers. The idea of asking the
American people to put their hands into
their pockets to pay bounties to pro-
mote American shipping interests just
at time when those interests are
gobbling up the maritime navies of the
world strikes the American sense of
humor right on the funny bone Pro-
tecting the steel industry by tariff
taxes, when it is undertaking its COM
petitors in all the markets of Europe
is about as much in that hne as can
be borne by Yankees while keeping
their faces straight Morgan has made
the Hanna ship subsidy scheme look
more like 30 cents than like SO, 600, 600
per annum." The Advertiser is q
strong Republican paper, but 1t is not
blind to the injustice of the present tar
if or to the objections the ship sub
sidy scheme.

THIRD DISTRICT CONVENTION.

While Hon. E. B Lewis has been !
selected by primary vote of the dem
ocrats of the Third district to serve
as their representative i'll the next
congress, his nomination has not been
formally announced.
Providing for the formal nomination,
the executive committee selected Mon
tezuma as the place of holding the con-
vention, named August 14th as the
date, and authorized the successful
candidate to choose the delegates.
Mr.. Lewis has named the delegates,
and sit is said" they will be his
guests while they attend the con-
vention, Hewill be nominated by I'M
animous vote, some resolutions will be
adopted, new district committee will
be chosen, and them pleasure will be

Mr.. Lewis has made most excel
lent representative, serving faithfully
and well the material interests of
his constituents Being man of
extensive business, possibly the con-
vention of August 18th msy disclose
the beginning of the end of his SER
vice, but if so, it will be of his own
motion. Mr.. Lewis has so endeared
himself to the rank and file of Third
district democrats that he Is above
all others the man they desire to repro.
sent them in congress.
However, some of the prospective
candidates for the campaign of 1904 have
already been mentioned, and it may
be that at the convention something OF

that at is one thing to be brave under

sence of multitude of comrades, and
quite another thing to face death by
disease, alone and without the stimu-

THIS is q much higher type of courage

THE AMERICAN FARMER

The farmer, considered in every light
is an individual much to be enyied. As
class he is prosperous as never be-
fore: his capital account as represent
ed in the value of his plant, is appre.
ciating, and his income yield, based on
present prices of his product, is above
that Of other industries, or avenues
of commercial investment, 1t is idle
10 repeat that he forms the real back
bone Of the country, and none will
begrudge him the easy path into which
he seems to have entered. As long IS
he is prosperous the country has moth
iug TO fear in the way of industrial
depression.

WATERLOO, Iowa. Jan. 2i.-That
Speaker David B. Henderson is op-

The letter was in response to a

Speaker and Ian gely signed By the

Speaker TO use his best Efforts for
revision of our present tariff laws.
and especially for a reduction or
q removal o. all duties on goods
manufactured in this country and
sold in foreign markets at a less
price than at home"
In his letter Colonel Henderson
says;
That there could be, wisely. re-
vision in certain parts or the tariff
laws and reductions can be wisely
made in some matters no sane man
will attempt 10 deny. The danger
is. however, that IL trying TO reach
