arising say. in Louisiana where they have NO jurs
diction nor control.
Some action which looks to the checking and
minimizing Of the wild and panicy guarantees thai
have caused 30 much unnecessary trouble during
the present season may. also. well be part Of the
conventions work. The danger Of the fevers spread
away from the immediate vicinity Of New Orleans.
was never per cent 70 great rs these local quar-
nn.nes indicated: and now that the fever is about
gone it will be profitable to take a calm view f1r
the future. About the best advice the convention
could give on this subject would perhaps be sor.e-
thin: like this: Clean up ycur towns every spring.
keep them clean all summer. and yourselves keep
cool in the confidence of having done the right thing
for safety.

eoud b. suits on behalf Of pulley holders to recover
from the officers guilty OF the conversions breaches
Of trust and bribefies. The lOong Of savings banks
for similar or any other purposes would not be
more unlawful and criminal than the Unauthorized
giving away Of life insurance moneys to political
party.
Judge Parker has conviucinsIy stated the mo-
tves which underlie the guilty transactions The in
euiry Of the contributors is, he shows. Will the
party organization in its hour Of triumph remember
our generosity and respond TO demands: And the
organization does remember. for it expects similar
contributions next :ime. The life Insurance officers
receive in consideration for their raids the peo
pies funds unfe'te-cd license in the management
If their concerns their reward consists in unemhar
raised license 10 rcl, the public through trusts: IN
the party's neglect and refusal To punish Grim
inaiy the officers Of corporations violating :le laws
Of the land: and in statutory permission by way of
tariff schedules made 10 order. and other provisions
containing hidden benefits +" levy tribute on the
people. What is frue Of tn. 'q'iasi-paIirershp o.
the life insurance and the party is true OF such
relationships GENERALLY involving: trust and corporal.
interests. The transaction is purchase of the
rarty'S connvance and cooperation: AID. as Jud-.
Parker wisely observes. there can be hope -
checkiu: the unlawful a.grcssons OF personal AMI
corporate greed so loE: III" unscrupu!ous inter
est may continue thus I" buy the dominant party.
The truth enforced ny the Sew York Life ex-
i,csur" is sad commentary ON The pusSance cf ~"
Republican party. which is :" plainly to have
thrv.d by prostitution and acquired its position by
co-rup,ionby the sale of privileges and the purchase
Of th" ballot. And the truth is of the
vincirs that could lee spread before the people ,o
ioin, the necessity for change Of parties in t..
national administration. Voters hardly de-
n"ra!ized the public conscience is hardly dull!
IN miss The conclusion that further government lay
the corrupt parrisansip of Wall street corporations
and s.lf-inreres;ed politicians should longer t.
tolerated.

at Delhi, will arrive Saturday afternoons train
and will preach trial sermons here Saturday night
and Sunday, so said. We are also told that Rev.
J. M. Hickson will be here Sunday and will preach

We regret to chronicle the death of Miss Lucille
Mercer, who died at her home near Taylortown
Monday morning. Miss Mercer was daughter of
Mr.. W. D. Mercer, ST., leading planter of South
Bossier. She was most estimable young lady of
sweet disposition and hosts of relatives and friends
mourn her departure. Rumor has it that she was
betrothed and was to have been married next week.
The grieved ones have the heart felt sympathy of
the writer.
And now dear reader, comes the close of the
year. Remember that the Banner has been con-
slant visitor and close friend during the past
months, and has put its best foot forward in its eff
forts to please the greatest number of it's patrons
and readers. You and the Banner have been
friends all the while-as thick thieves. If any
one connected with its management should send
you statement don't grow fridged toward it at this
late date. Still keep that spot in your heart aglow
lean toward us all you can-remit promptly and
look pleasant.
