The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1905-11-30
WITH THE EXCHANGES.

Arkansas Democrat: Illicit
whisky traffic is about wiped out
in Arkansas.
Columbia State: "Japan is in
Korea" say the dispatches. They
should read, "Korea is in Japan.
Columbia State: Summary of
the progress of the insurance in
vestigation: Rotten, rottener,
rottenest.
Kansas City Journal: What's
that we hear? Twenty-three mill
lion acres of the public domain
stolen in a single year.
Kershaw Era: The world loves
a busy man but no loafer is en-
titled to nor will he command the
respect of employed people.
Dotham Eagle: If you got all
the squirrels up one tree the
chances are that you'd miss half
of 'em, so what's the use to wor-
ry?
Arkansas Democrat: The pos
tai service is always improving.
The receipts of the department
bespeak the continued growth and
development of the greatestnation
on earth.
Minden Democrat: It is the
intention of the authorities to
probe deep into the c. o. D. ship
ments of whisky to this town, and
if possible to put an end to this
nefarious business.
St. Louis Republic: Naturally
the question of the sea level and
the lock is a big one incident to
the Panama Canal, but whether it
will be dug on the level of honesty
is an equally important consider
alton.
New Orleans Times Democrat:
Americans can never fully meas
ure the debt of gratitude they
owe to the founders of the Repub-
lie. The practically and common
sense of Washington, Jefferson
and Hamilton and their compeers
were then the sole barrier against
anarchy. 1t has always been
easier to win freedom than to keep
| it.
Columbia State: The Kaiser
refrains from joining the powers
in coercing the Sultan. He keeps
an eye on the beautiful opportuni-
ty sell Abdnl Hamid guns with
which to murder Christians, and
to get concessions of all sorts in
the Ottoman dominions. It used
to be John Bull that upheld the
blood stained hands of Abdul
the damned;" but the Kaiser now
poses in that exalted role.
| st. Louis Republic: Active
buying of Arkansas timber lands
again suggests the caution that
1--WE can no longer afford the waste
full methods of cutting which, in
too many parts of the country,
have already denuded the land of
i forests. We have reached the
point at which a good forest is a
valuable plantation from which
the best profits are to be drawn by
making it last for generations.
Wilmington Messenger: While
the Southern farmers are paying
so much attention to the price OF
cotton they should not forget that
the South is interested in another
important world crop. The corn
crop of the United States is an
immense affair and the South is
very much interested in it because
our section contributes largely to
the total of the product of the
| American fields. The estimate oil
the yield this year of corn in the
United States is nearly three bill
lion bushels. This is almost be-

son, still the figures represent the
amount of corn actually raised
and the South had it's share in

Baltimore Sun: Prof. Sylves.
