The BANNER is in receipt of the
first quarterly bulletin of the State
Board of Health, which has just
made it's appearance. 1t reviews
the work of the Board and j.
quite interesting. In speaking of
the inspection of Bayou Teche it
says: "The results of these Of
fetal inspections, as we'll as con-
ditions revealed by casual obser-
vation on our trips through the
State, demonstrate very plainly
that sufficient precautions are not
being taken to protect the streams,
the water of which is being used
for drinking purposes, against
pollution by human excrements
and other organic matter. Every
health officer, every physician
and every public spirited citizen
should give this subject careful
thought and use his every effort
to prevent it. BY so doing many
cases of waterborne diseases
would be prevented such as typoid
fever and other forms of in
testinal disorders.

The latest candidate for un-
enviable notoriety as waver OF
the bloody shirt is Senator Hey
burn, Of Idaho. He is the same
Senator Hepburn who the inves-
tigation of Secretary Ballinger
has revealed as mixed up in the
public land scandals. He is filed
with patriotic fervor for the
old flag-and an appropriation.
He has just given vent to his feel
ings by a speech in the Senate
directed against the surviving
"rebels" OF the great conflict.
AT the conclusion of his harangue
the Senate sat down on him. The
resolution against which he had
raised his voice was moved for
adoption and was passed with one
dissenting vOte-that of Hey burn.
There was no division Of. party
lines, just unanimous contempt
for the man who could stoop to
rub salt in old sectional wounds
for the sake of little cheap no.
toriety. It was an impressive re-
buke and one well earned.

A special to the New Orleans
press from Baton Rouge, says:
''That during the past month
more white men have been brought
to the State Penitentiary than
negroes is the record that has been
made by the State since about the
middle of last month. In the
number of prisoners brought in
during a month the negroes al
ways outnumbered the whites,
three and four and five to one, but
this month more whites have been
brought to the State Peritentiary
than negroes. A total of eighteen
white men have been received "

Our Next Mayor. James A.
Peterman.

08tI018CClOu tuos VIZ
citizen whose name heads this
article has finally decided to ac-
cept the nomination for Mayor OF
the city of Franklin, the election
to take place on the first Monday
in May. On the ticket with. him
will be two councilmen who have
done good and faithful work in
the present council, viz: Messrs.
Marvin Morris and Joseph r.
Boudreaux. The new members
viii be Messrs. A. w. Ohlmayer,
Thomas Bodin and r. Emmet
O'Niell, all of whom are possessed
Of every qualification and are i'm.
bued with the proper spirit OF
public welfare to make excellent
City Fathers. According to our
view, the selection of this ticket
could not be of better material
and We believe it to be collective
ly and individually above all just
criticism. In saying this we mean
no disparagement of the past or
outgoing municipal administra-
tion whose every act was for the
nood and furtherance of the best
interests of the town.
The necessary details in con-
formity with the new election
lavs-the making out of Domina-
tion papers, etc.,-have already
been com piled with and the new
candid late for the Mayoralty and
this councilmen, az above named, !,
are ready for submission to the
voters, So far We have heard OF
no contemplated opposition to
this tickst from any quarter, and,
the men selected being so emf
nently acceptable, we sincerely
believe that none will develop as
the campaign progressess and that
these gentlemen will be elected
by the unanimous vote OF tn"
people of the city, not only as a
compliment to their worth. but g.
a marx of confidence that they
w:ll do their duty and the best n
tereets of the town dictate with
proper regard for the rights OF ell
classes of the people. Besides in
9 community like ours, when good
and public-spirited men .aIe
chosen for public functions such
as these, opposition creates antae-
onisms and scrimonies which d."
more injury than good in the ad
ministration Of public affairs.
The selection of Mr. Peterman
To head the new ticket is a wise
and excellent one in every re-
spect. He is q good citizeHin ali
that the word implies, he ha~
every desire and interest to see
that the town is possessed OF as
good . municipal government as
e 10 possible to have one. and his
record for administrative ability
and general business aptjtudes is
such as to inspire absolute con-
6dence.
The BANNER most heartily en-
dorees the ticket and cordially So
lioiks its friends and readers to do
likewise. Let it be said that there
is concord among our people by a
unanimous election in this in
stance. This course will do the
town Q vast amount of good in
he minds of outsi6ees.
