his seventeenth year. To have made a

go far toward answering the craving in the
breast which prays that the work of our

''The Banner has served you, your
father, your grandfather and the Demo-
cratic party faithfully and untiringly for
forty mine years. Now is the time to sub
SCRIBE" We find the foregoing headline
at the top Of the Bossier Banner, published
at Benton, La. 1t is edited by W. H.
Scanland, who has been in the editorial
harness for forty nine years, and been
publishing the Banner for that many years.
1t is good paper and we wish it many

Editor Scanland of the Bossier Banner
established his paper at Bellevue forty
nine years ago. The Banner is one Of the
best weekly papers in the State, and Mr..
Scanland, from a beardless boy in 1859
has grown gray in the service. In the cur

his son, proposes ''three cheers for the

No Extra Session Needed.
Louisiana Democrat.
MAN,

Louisiana DemOcTatI
We need no extra session. Let US catch
our breath and take an account of stock, to
ascertain "where we are at" from the in
jury already inflicted upon US by the freak
legislation of the regular session just
brought to close, before the burden OF an
extra session is imposed on US. Too much
legislation, especially Of the character in
flicted upon us, is the bane of the common
wealth and has been thus since the civil
war. In fact, it has got to be the rule now,
rather than the exception, that the statute
book, after every session, is found to be
encountered with class legislation of the
most discriminating and vicious character.
After there has been time to review the
labors of the recent session, it will be, we
believe the universon cencensus of opinion,
that it is the worst in the history Of the
State since the era of Radical misrule, not
only as to what it did, but what it failed to
do.
We hazard nothing in the assertion that
the popular verdict, when rendered, will
find it unresponsive to public sentiment.
If the annual appropriations could be pro-
vided for, without the assembling of the
Legislature, the veal Of the State would be
best subserved by having only decennial
sessions.
Every session of the Legislature now
imposes extra and unnecessary hardships
and burdens upon the people and we dread
when the time approaches for it to meet in
biennial session.

the State and will be damned by the people.

is way of making the politics Of our State
and country cleaner, and that way is the
safest and surest.
Minden Democrat: The State Superin-
tendent should devote his attention to the
educational affairs of the State and keep
his mind clear Of political intrigue.
New Orleans Picayune: Great as has
been the expense of sending the battleship
fleet around the world, it has undoubtedly
served the purpose of greatly strengthen
ing our position in the Pacific Ocean,
which was probably the object principally
sought.
Referring to the stand and deliver salary
grab of $4,000 for Aswell, the Claiborne

New Orleans States: On the issue

of the leading Republican newspapers of
Iowa have bolted the Taft Sherman ticket,
and it is predicted that there will be similar
bolts in other States of the West as the
campain progresses.
Thibodaux Commercial-Journal: Spend
more money on the education of the masses,
and less on fat office holders, and give to
the little boy out yonder in the backwoods
the same grade Of education that you give

in few years you will have men who are
able to think for themselves, to act for

selves without the dictates of some politi-
cal boss.
New Orleans Picayune: Everybody who
has any knowledge of the conditions in the
Northern military prisons during the Civil
War knows that the Southern soldiers i'm
prisoned in the North were treated with
extreme cruelty and were made to suffer
the most unnecessary privations, and the
Federal authorities strenuously opposed
any exchange of prisoners of war. The
death rate of Confederates in Northern
prisons was ever II per cent, while that OF
Federal prisoners in Southern prisons was
under per cent. The Northern Official
record with regard to the treatment ano
exchange of prisoners in the war of 1861-6
was shameful, and the murder of Captain
Wirz to divert public attention from the
real authors of the sufferings Of the prise.
ners on both sides was one of the creates
atrocities of modern times.
