The Old Subscriber.

We sometimes wonder If newspaper men generally
appreciate the old subscriber at his trade value
We mean the old standby who takes the home paper
year after year, through evil as we'll as through
good report, and pays his subscription regularly
just the same as he would any other honest debt
AS general thing the old subscriber is patient and
slow to wrath He will overlook many little Sights
from the editor-slights which the man who borrows
his reading would not stand for q minute. If one
OF his calves gets its leg broken and the fact isn't
mentioned in the next issue he doesn't seem to feel
the slight in the least, if half dozen of his hens
die with the cholera morbus and the editor doesn't
set out a two dollar ad in order to make room to
herald the news to waiting world, he just worries
right along as though he hadn't been mstreated at
all. He is always jolly-never fails to ask shows
tricks when he comes into the Office, and drops
word of praise for the paper upon taking his de-
parture. God bless the old subscriber. We love
him, and If we sometimes slight him in order to give
space to some sap head who isn't worthy to buckle
his shoes, it is because we know he is so broad
minded and charitable that he will never mind it,

VOLUME FORTY-FOUR,

The life OF generation, according to statisti-
clans, is thirty three years. To-day is the forty
fourth anniversary of the Banners birth reckoned
by years OF publication. The Banner suspended
publication from September q, 1862, to July 16,
1865. With this exception, the Banner has never
missed an issue,'' and from its initial number up to
date it has been published every week. Since its
first number issued, on Friday, July /, 1859, it
has seen more than a generation and half come
and go. During its lifetime thirteen States have
been admitted into the Union-with four Territories
now vgorlessly knocking at the door for admission
to Observation-Disclosures and the Philippine Islands
have been added to Uncle Sans domain by pur
chase, Porto Rico by conquest and the Hawaiian
Islands stolen by piratcal gang of "down east"
Yankee carpet baggers, whose villiany was aided
and allotted by interruptions Federal navy officers
We have advanced to q position second to none
among the great financial, manufacturing and COM
mercial nations of the world while the republic has
taken its place among the greatest nations of the
world-a veritable "world power" with an ever
ready "bg stick
The forty-three years in which the Banner has
been visitor to the people of Bosser parish have
been epoch making years. Less than two years
after the Banner was founded the great Civil War
began. In the forty three years of its existence
the Banner has the world connected from ocean
to ocean by telegraph cables, this continent con-
nected from the Atlantic to the Pacific by net
work of gigantic railroad systems and the national
sovereignty extended to an archipelago within 800
miles of the coast of China.
There are still living citizens of Bossier parish who
remember when the Banner issued it's first number
on July !, 1859, and who have been numbered
among its friends and readers during this long and
eventful period. They will recall how closely,
through all these years. the Banner has been identi-
fed with the advancement of all that appeared to
be best for the interest of Bossier parish and Lou
isiara and the Southern States which are bound to
Louisiana by social ties and mutually protective
political relations. During its entire existence the
Banner has been animated by one purpose-to pro-
mote the material and general good welfare of Bos-
sier and the great State Of which it is one of the
chief parishes, and far their moral and poit-
cal life is concerned to exercise its influence as the
uncompromising champion of whatever is honest,
pure and sound.
In the future the Banner will be what it is now
and has been in the past. The interests of Bossier
parish and Louisiana will be it's chief concern. It's
efforts will be devoted to the advancement of 'the
land we love this parish and State-along the
lines of material prosperity and of progress in all
proper directions.

WORTHY OF COMMUNICATION.

The thorongh work Of the State
Board OF Health il worthy the sdmi-
ration Of the entire people OF Florida.
DR.. J. Y. Porter, State Health Officer,
has been most thorough in his work,
and We feel as though the safety Of the
people could not be placed in better
hands. Regarding the Tampa case DR..
Porter has the following over his own
signature:
"No quarantine will be placed
against Tampa, nor is there any neces-
sity for such action, but the sqnare.
with inmates. in which the man IL sick
will be 0uaTRntined, and every person
occupying the came will be daily seen
and kept under close observation.
There 10 no need for scare or alarm on
the part OF the people Of Tampa or Of
the State. While il is wished that
case had sooner come under control
Of the health authorities and the
previous whereabouts OF the man,
which should have been considered aus
piciouS by any carefully thinking per-
con, had been promptly reported, Jet
the State health authorities hope 60
destroy mosquitoes which may have
bitten this man before the period In
which the infection 10 known 90 de.
velop and be capable OF injecting the
human. This period, it has been de-
monstrated, is twelve days from the
incipient biting Of the yellow fever pa
tient
1T will be noted that this man
reached Tampa before yellow fever Was
known to exist in New Orleans by those
without that city, although IL is now
learned that persons OF the Italian col
ony in Tampa knew from New Orleans
friends that q suspicious fever existed
in New Orleans some three weeks ago.
1T is also interesting 90 note that
this man came from St. Philip street,
the press reported infected district OF
New Orleans"

CABINET OFFICERS SALARIES.

A Washington correspondent an.
nounces that an effort 10 TO be made in
the next Congress 60 increase the salA-
Fies OF the cabinet officers. The com.
plant 10 made that the secretaries can
not live in the style they should on the
money they now receive. Well, Says
The CommOner, that 10 matter Of
opinion. II your country is going TO
ape che mona Fchies Of the old world
and attempt to swe the masses with
gorgeous social display, then 10 will be
necessary TO raise salaries all around.
But II government officials are willing
to observe the simplicity that BELTS
republic the salaries are sufficient.
The congressman and senators who
live within their salaries are the beet
officials in those bodies and IL would
not be difficult 20 find competent cabi-
net officers who could live on cabinet
salaries.
Instead Of trying TO initiate the eX-
travagance Of European ofiieiAldom IL
would be refreshing to see our country
set an example in the careful use Of
public money Every increase In OH.
cial salaries tends 10 lessen the num-
Der from which selection can be made.

numbers far beyond the capacity OF the
small room where religious services are
