Gov. Hanley, of Indiana, sizes
up the situation thusly: "This
nation has gone money mad. For
ten years this land has enjoyed
material wealth and prosperity
such as the world has never before
seen, and during that time this
madness has come upon us in full
force. We have forgotten the
commandment Thou shalt not,
steal,' and we are taking the po-
sition that it does not matter how
money is obtained as it is got.
We cannot contine in this road
indefinitely and secure the con-
tinuance of free institutions. The
dangers of peace will destroy this
country at the present rate, just
as certainly as a disastrous war. y

DON'T TRUST THE STOCKING.

DON'T TRUST THE STOCKING
Deposit your money in a bank, in
your home bank if you have one
and if not, in the nearest bank to
you. Even if man is content to
get along with his savings and
never wants to invest, he should
carry these savings to the bank.
There might come time when he
wanted to get help to make an at
tractive investment, and if so he
would find it all the easier because
of his bank account. And, a fact
worth consideration, the bank
account helps him to economist.
There is every argument in favor
of depositing your money in a
bank, and not one for hiding ii
away about the house or barns
Spartanbury s. G. Herald.
Bossier has two good, solvent
banks-the Bank of Benton and
Plain Dealing Bank-both worthy
of the public confidence and de-
serving the patronage of the COM
munities in which they are locat-
ed. If Shreveport is your place
of business, there are no two bet
ter banks in the State, than the
Commercial National Bank and
the Merchants and Farmers Bank,
of that city. Now is the time to
begin to deposit.

Investigation Should Be In.
Stituted.

Now that the yellow fever is a
thing of the past it is time for the
Governor to instituse an investi-
cation as to the cause of the dis
ease getting here and its being
allowed to spread as it did. OF.
course, it is generally recognized
throughout the State that the
fever was permitted to gain such
a foothold by official neglect, by
a neglect to report the fever when
it was first known to exist; and
for such neglect and disregard of
the duties confronting them, on
the part of those officers guilty,
tits up to the high State authorities
to order an investigation or call
for the designations of those Of
ficers believed to have been re-.
rponsible for the entrance and the
spread of the disease in Louisiana.
The truth should be established
at all hazards and those officials
guilty must abdicate. tits indeed
a terrible thing to think upon, for
sometimes when such matters
absorb the public mind the peo-
pie are apt to condemn innocent
officials. But in this caseit seems
that the State health authorities
should have been informed pre-
cisely as to the status of affairs
by the city officials, and it is al
most unbelievable that they were
not.
There is but one sensible thing
for these officials, Drs. Souchon
and Kohnke, Presidents of the
State and City Health Boards,
respectively, to do now, and that
is to resign. Should they fail to
do so they should be compelled
to establish their innocence be-
fore the searchlight of truth in a
most rigid investigation.
Both have been seriously ar
raigned by DR.. Jos. Holt, ex-
president of the State Board of
Health, in widely circulated
pamphlet, on number of charges,
which, if not disproved, make it
necessary for the high State au-
thorities to take hand in the
matter. Louisiana cannot and will
not stand for such and the quieter
the whole affair is settled the bet
ter it will be for the State and the
people.-Iberv1Ue South.

Men who refuse to attend political meetings and
often neglect to vote generally have the most to say
against bosses and political corruption, and they
are in great degree responsible for the abuses they
decry. "Those who would be free themselves must
strike the blow" The Arkansas Democrat has
reference to this class of men, and tells the whole
truth when it says: Political bosses should die
an ignominous death in every State of the Union.
When the people do their duty, attend the polls and
assert their rights there will be no bosses.''

Hospital Service takes charge of the quarantine, to
have trusted State agent of Mississippi remain in
New Orleans next summer and during future sum-
mers, to keep and the people of Mississippi in
formed as to health conditions there And Gov.
Vardaman is right. The present Presidents of the
State and New Orleans Boards of Health have lost
the confidence of large number of the people of
Louisiana, who unwilling to trust them any
longer with the care of the public health, and it
behooves the country parishes of Louisiana and
adjoining States to look out for themselves for
''trade and trave'' will endeavor to be in the sad
die and keep in the middle of the road" The
much abused and unjustly ridiculed shot gun
guarantees - saved hundreds of lives this year,
and has proven "safe" to the health of commune
ties, if not sane' in the eyes of commercial greed.

When the United States government has the au-
thorty to fix railroad freight rates. what power will
prevent the railroads from ''fixing" the govern
ment commission or bureau? Remember the fate
of the Income Tax law before the United States
Supreme Court several years ago, when the capital
lists of the East g arranged for it's being declared
unconstitutional Remember the Cotton Report
"leakage;' the Government Printing Office steals
of millions of dollars, and the Life Insurance Com
pany thefts for campaign purposes. We are OPP
posed this rate fixing business, and we are further
opposed to the creation of any more " commissions"
or of delegatng any power or authority to the
United States Government than is absolutely nee
essary. The Republican party, which has been in
control of the Federal government since the expi-
ration of President Buchanan's term in 1861, with
the exception of Cleveand's two terms) up to the
present day, has been UNANIMOUSLY and VIGOROUSLY
corrupt and at times lawless and tyrannical. Dur
ing the War Between the States and the war with
Spain, army contractors unblushingly robbed the
government Commencing with the " Star Route ;"
steals and ionrobberyunder Grant'sfrst
Administration up to the present deporable state
of affairs, fraud and pecuaton is written all over
every Republican Administration. addition, Dr.
vision and Silence has been the watchword among
the punderers. And in addition to all this personal
graft-stealing is "graft "-the Republican
campaign managers always know where to get
money to carry elections, wide Insurance Company
scandals) the railroads will be bed freely, and in
the end the people will "pay the freight" Let us
have railroad rate regulation, whenever necessary,
through legislation and not by "commission."
