From Our State Exchanges

New Orleans Picayune: A good mem
DRY should enable man to remember what
to forget.
New Orleans States: One faction of the
Era Club is to start an outside movement
for woman's suffrage, and it might not be
a bad thing for them to secure the services
as leader of Mrs. Susan Howling Horse of
Oklahoma.
Lake Charles Times: Alexandria saloon
men will be responsible for the town going
dry if it is so voted. Facts show that their
disregard of laws passed to control and
limit their business has caused even their
friends to rise up and protest.
Franklin Era Leader: Even in misde-
meanors sometimes judicial pardon steps
in and thwarts just sentence. Our peo-
pie are too ready to sign petitions and talk
in whispers to officials in appeals for those
who deserve the full penalty of the law.
The time has come when crime should be
set down upon and the criminal made to
know that when he violates the law the
penalty will have to be paid not in part but
in full.

Philadelphia North American: The most
potent factor in life is the good example
you set before those who come in contact
with you. To hear or read of man or
woman who is nobly unselfish and wise
gives birth to longings and determinations.
To see such one galvanizes these high
intentions into activity and sets in motion
additional force of like nature. He is, he
does-therefore, can be, can do! Such
is the power that righteous living can and
does exert. This being the case, it is one
of the most important things in life to let
the light of kindness, hopefulness, humane
consideration so shine through your works.

With the dismissal of Midshipman j. j..
Cook from the Naval Academy at Annapo-
lis for hazing, Secretary Daniels sent a
letter to every midshipman warning him
that hereafter no leniency would be shown
hazers, who in addition to being dismissed,
would receive the additional penalty of
imprisonment, as provided by law. "Your
hazer is essentially bully" says Secre-
tary Daniels, and must necessarily have
streak of innate cruelty. The United
States Navy has no place for youths of
this kind" Well said, Mr.. Daniels. You
are undoubtedly the right man in the right
place.

LIES UNREST.

"Oh that had wings like a dove! for
then would fly away, and be at rest!"
This is the imprisoned cry of soul
wearied with the turmoil and struggle OF
life to the point of losing heart.
What is the cause of these fits of de-
preston? One is the fatigue of work.
Another cause of these depressed states
is the crosses, anxieties and cares of life.
1t is not work so much as worry that saps
our vigor. AS the constant dropping wears
away the granite block, so these little
vexations try our courage and patience.
And another is our own misdoings. We
turn aside from the right to the pleasant
path. We do wrong to ourselves, we hurt
our neighbors. And then comes the in
evitable penalty. We are smitten with
remorse. We are bowed in the dust with
self-reproach and shame.
Such is LIES unrest. What is it's cure?
First of all we must recognize that these
discouraged moods are morbid, unhealthy
for US to give way to them. Life was
meant to be hopeful, bouyant, joyful.
Something is wrong with our life machinery
and must be set straight.
We must love our work, put our hearts
into it, feel that we are doing our Fathers
will in it. Thus laboring We will find joy
and beauty and poetry and not drudgery
in our daily task. The humblest life is
glorifed by the divine purpose.
We should look on the bright side. When
our hearts droop it is because we weigh
our troubles but do not put our blessings
into the balance. We magnify crosses
and overlook joys that are not to be num-
bered.
Instead, then, of signing for the wings
of dove to fly to some shelter of rest let
US face life's duties and cares with manly
spirit and eager ardor, and we shall find
in it our true calling, our place of useful
ness, our school of growth, our present
joy and our future hope.

Mississippi crevasse at Gibson's Ian

Mississippi Crevasse at Gibson's Landing.
Vidalia, La, April 28.-Vidalia to-day
is filled with refugees from sections of
Tensas and Concordia parishes north of
here, which are being filled by the waters
from a crevasse in the Mississippi River
levee near Gibson's Landing, which de-
veloped early Sunday morning.
More than 1000 persons were taken out
of the overlooked section to Natchez and
other places across the river in Mississippi.
Several thousand head of cattle also were
transferred to points across the river and
last night and to-day there was continu
uous stream of cattle passing through the
streets of Vidalia to the ferry where they
are being taken to Natchez.
There are eight river steamers and
number of launches engaged in the rescue
work between Vidalia and Gibson's Land
ing under the direction of the United States
army relief corps. The levees north of
Vidalia are lined with people, many of
whom have brought what few household
goods and wearing apparel they could
hurriediy assemble. Horses and cattle
also are being driven upon the levees
awaiting steamers to take them across the
river.
Reports received this morning say that
the crevasse is almost half mile and the
ends Of the broken levee continue to fall
away rapidly. For a distance of about
fifteen miles just back of the break, and
south, the water ranges from depth of two
to three feet in outer edge to twenty feet
in the immediate vicinity of the crevasse.
The water has spread over the towns of
Waterproof, Goldman and Azecema this
morning and was rapidly approaching
Clayton and Ferriday was expected to be
covered within the next two or three days.
Vidalia, April 30.-Water let in by the
break near Gibson's Landing is spreading
slowly over the rich plantation lands in
Concordia and adjoining parishes. Har-
rissonbug, a town of 500 inhabitants on
the west bank of the Ouachita River, and
several villages were submerged to-day.
Hundreds of refugees were taken from the
overlooked territory to Natchez, across the
river from Vidalia to- night. A number of
these found shelter at the refugee camp
established in that city, while others were
lodged in private homes or took advantage
of reduced rates offered by hotels and
boarding houses.

GAVE SIS For Your Son
- or Daughter on the Pur-
chase Price of a Scholarship

I The proprietor of the Banner has for
sale scholarship in the Tyler CONNER
cial College of Tyler, Texas. The same
was paid for in advertising. 1t is valued
at $50 and would cost one that much
when applying at the institution named
above. This one can be had for SIS,
but, under contract, cannot be sold for
less than that sum.
I If you are expecting to enter your son
or daughter in commercial college
why not buy this scholarship and thus
save S.? In the event you should buy
it and the prospective student after
going to Tyler should not find every
thing as represented, or desired, and de-
cides not to enter the college, the pro-
prietor of the Banner will gladly refund
your money. In other words, this schol-
arship is hedged by every guarantee
offered by the college.
t Call at the Banner office the next time
you are in Benton and ask to see it.

no one loved them.
Earthquake shocks were felt in several
villages in Northern New York at 7 80
O'Clock Monday evening. At Canton the
shocks continued for minute. Houses
were Jared and dishes ratified on the
shelves, but no damage was done. At
Ogdensburg the earthquake, the heaviest
ever experienced there, was followed by a
loud rumbling sound. Buildings shook so
badly that people ran into the streets in
fear that they would collapse. At Ottawa
and Montreal, Canada, at the same hour,
houses were shaken badly, but no one was
killed or injured.

With windows to open and let in the

And radiant lamps when the day is

And the breeze of the world blowing

B!ue-eyed men, says q Kansas
expert, make very poor husbands.
They had 326 cases of wife aban-
donment in Kansas this year, and
in almost every case the offender
was a man with blue eyes. Upon
the other hand, blue-eyed men
make excellent Presidents. and
our own republic has scarcely
ooked anywhere else. The only
dark-eyed President we ever had
was William Henry Harrison. He
took one good look at the prob
lens ahead Of hin. and died in Of
flee, leaving John Tyler. a blue
eyed man, to work it all out.
Moreover, blue-eyed men have
always been the worlds cham
pion marksmen, and but for then,
tyrants had not been overthrown,
slavery had net been put down.
and there would be no liberty.
Dark-eyed men are brave, but
they never hit anything. This
is borne out every, time there is
an international shooting match.
