mean that business is to be carried forward
in an Indifferent, slipshod way. Wisdom
in planning and economy in administration
will be all the more necessary when the
welfare of the larger number is taken into
consideration. When the exploitation of
labor has been replaced by fixed purpose
to aid men, business will not be any less
attractive-it will be nobler game. When
passion for men has replaced the lust OF
profits business will not be a whit less sue
cessful; the highest success will then be-
come possible. 1t is selfishness that is
blind, that curses and wrecks SO many no.
BILE enterprises which would win success if
the motives Of the captains were Of the
larger type. When the larger motive comes
more fully into business life, the stupid
folly which has looked upon lying and
cheating; cutting and covering, as neces-
sary if not good business methods, will
become manifest.
What is needed in commercial and in
dustrial life is not the invention and intro
duction of new political machinery, but the
informing of the minds and hearts Of men
with the larger motive in business. This
is why all good men are so profoundly con-
cerned in social reform.

Saloons and Breweries Curses to Society.

Saloons ana breWerleS curses TO society.
Editor Krebs of the Lake Charles Amer
ican-Press strikes high note of truth in
the following:
"We hear large amount of talk about
the advantages of regulated saloons over
absolute prohibition and the blind tiger
system; but the only advantage is that a
certain amount of revenue is collected un-
der the regulation system, which is gen.
orally expended for keeping the peace.
Saloons can be regulated; blind tigers can
be suppressed; but it takes the the same
vigilant, active, aroused public opinion to
regulate saloons that it does to suppress
the blind tigers. The trouble is that saloon
men are seldom willing to obey the regu-
latory measures; as general rule their
first impulse is to disobey the law on the
sly or with the connivance of the officers
charged with the duty of enforcing it, or
to mix in politics and elect officers who will
wink at the violation of the law.
"Breweries operating chains of saloons,
are generally behind these political activ-
tives and the result is the city gets poor
enforcement of all laws and an extrava-
giant, deficient city government, which it
is difficult to Gust and impossible to reform.
Blind tigers, no matter how active or nu-
merous, are always outlaws and never can
invoke the protection Of the law itself, as
the lily regulated saloon invariably does. -

Demand for Cattle and Hogs.

Natchez Democrat
All authorities agree in saying that the
scarcity Of cattle will continue for at least
ten years. Reports from every section of
the country confirm the statement. All
authorities agree on the South as the place
to raise cattle. Experts in the business,
men who know, have not only said that the
Natchez district is an ideal cattle country,
but have proved the sincerity of their ex-
pressions by engaging in the business in
this district; they are raising cattle in
Adams County. All of these men are
raising hogs as we'll as cattle, and they say
there is money in cattle and hogs. Let no
man make a mistake if he can possibly
avoid it, so let every man who can raise as
many cattle and hogs as his place will &C
commodate. If the scarcity of cattle does
not continue for ten years you can get in
on the ground floor and make money rails
ing stock for the time that the supply is
short. You can rest assured that your
seven fat years are here, but this does not
mean that one can sit on the front porch
smoking pipe and have the golden harvest
walk in upon him and plant itself at ones
feet. Every man must help himself and
do his best.

TTMES-DEMOCRAT.

The New Orleans Times Democrat cele-
brated its fiftieth birthday on September
oath. The first issue of the Times made
its appearance in September, 1868; the
Democrat in 1875, aud the two papers were
consolidated on December 4, 1881. 1t is a
production of the first magnitude, and one
OF the most remark able newspaper editions
ever issued in this country. 1t contains
sixty pages Of seven columns each of easy
reading, and every page bubbles over with
information that is worth having. Its
preparation required consumate skill and
a great deal of hard work and it will doubt
less stand for long time as one of the
browning achievements of Southern journ-
alism.
Far from being least among the descrip-
tive articles are those comprising the series
which tells of the newspapers represented
in this edition. The securing and handling
of the news, the manner in which adver-
Using matter is taken care of, cuts of its
high-speed press and mechanical depart
ment and the processes in the turning out
of the days news are portrayed, both in
words and in illustrations.
A striking feature Of the edition is the
page containing " Record of Half Gen.
tury,' which is in keeping with the excel
lence Of the entire edition. The cotton
situation of fifty years ago is given on that
page as follows:
mo CoTToN COMING IN.-Conditions in
Carondeet Street and in the cotton offices
were exceedingly dull. There was no cot
ton coming in, and the world was starving
for the staple, and the price had gone to
dollar or more a pound"

Teachers Examination.

Claiborne. Guardan-Journall
Complaints against the late teachers ex-
animation continue from every part of the
State. These complaints are so numerous
that Superintendent Harris, sc the papers
state, has decided to review the papers for
the purpose of regarding them, and per-
haps another examination will be held.
There is no demand for a RENEWAL of the
papers in so far as we have heard, but a
more practical examination such as will
test the teachers scholarship in the funda-
mental text books is what is needed. And
it would be much better if these examina-
tons were conducted by the parish super
intendents, as was formerly the case. If
the parish superintendent are not compe-
tent and worthy to conduct these examina-
tons they are not worthy to hold the posi-
ton.
These complaints were not heard of till
Superintendent Aswell caused change in
the method, taking the matter out of the
hands Of the parish superintendent.

First let them try themselves.
Rumor doth double, like the voice and
echo.
But health, alack, with youthful wings
is flown.
Much smaller than the smallest of his

An habitation giddy and insure hath he
that buildeth on the vulgar heart.
And thou shalt prove a shelter to thy
friends, hoop of gold to bind thy BROTH
ers in.
But | must 60 and meet with danger
there, or it will seek me in another place
and find me less provided.

excused; excuses shall not be admitted !;

thoughts, which thou hast whetted on thy
stony heart, to stab at half an hour of nv

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Memphis Commercial Appeal: Thoughts
are the quickest and the longest and the
saddest things in this life.
Cincinnati Enquirer: Some men work
with their heads, some with their hands
and some with their mouths.
Columbus Dispatch: If you want to
know just how little you know, undertake
to help your boy with his lessons.
Rochester Advertiser: Cleveland is CO.
ing to open municipal moving picture
show. Pretty soon even the baby's bottle
will be under municipal management.
Louisville Courier journal: Manypeo-
pie are writing to the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington asking how to get rid
of leatherwing bats. The department an
swers that bats are benefit, since they
eat mosquitoes and other harmful insects,
and that they should not be killed.

Abolish the Special Privileges.

Pointe Coupee Banner
Any law which will grant special privi-
leges to favored class, is bad law and
should be repealed. 1t is said that Normal
graduates are exempted from examinations
due to the policy of the State to ''encour-
age" attendance at this institution. 1t is
we'll established fact that many Normal
graduates not only show an absolute lack
in the essentials of teacher, but some of
them exhibit a sad neglect of the knowl-
edge presumed to be acquired in the gram
mar schools. Yet they are exempt from
examination, and are thrown in competition
with the competent teacher, who at stated
intervals, is compelled to undergo the
ordeal Of the State committae's "quiz.''

eaT the Banners correspondents will
please sign their names in full when
sending in news reports for publication.
The habit OF merely giving initials is not
sufficient and is often confusing. Come
"clean" with us; let us know who YOU
arc atUays. Your name will not be given
in print and will be withheld from the
public, if such are your expressed wishes.
Sign everything it matters not how
often you write. An experience of many
years as newspaper makers has taught
the editors of the Banner that it is wise
to take this precaution, and we demand it.

"Mossback," in the Monroe News-S Star,
says: "There should at this time be no
examinations for teachers of public schools.
That time has passed." What is needed
in this State is common sense school laws.
The patrons of the schools, who are more
interested in having good schools than any
high-salaried State Superintendent of Ed
ucation, should be allowed to select the
teachers of their schools without any re-
straint whatever. The people are not fools,
and they should be trusted in matter so
vital to them.

given embraced the transactions of the
entire system, noting that in the past,
Figures given embodying the trasac-
tions of the company as a whole, has
