The United States has warned Great

The United States has warned Great
Britain that the general use of the American
flag, by British vessels, is viewed with grave
concern, and has notified Germany that the
destruction by her of any American ship in
the newly prescribed war zone would lead to
serious complications.
1t became known today that those two
notes were dispatched to the two countries
last night. The news that the United
States had taken pronounced stand caused
profound impression among the diplomats
here Washington.
The note to Great Britain was not
based on the Lusitania incident, but upon
England's stand that neutral flags might be
properly used under some circumstances

CKARB0N VACCINATION

To the live owners of the State:
Past experience has taught
that best results are obtained
when animals are vaccinated
against Charlton early in the
spring so as to allow about 80
days in which to secure protec.
ton before the season approaches
when charbon infection usually
develops.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board strongly urges, therefore,
that, in in these sections of the
State in which Charlton infection
has been known to exist in pre-.
vious years. vaccination of ami.
mails should be commenced not
later than March LIST. That is,
the first dose, of a double dose
vaccine. should be given at that
time.
II stock owners will give this
their careful attention. it will
increase the number of protected
animals at the beginning of the
the Charlton season, and materi.
ally limit the spread of the dis.
ease should the coming summer
prove favorable to development
Of Charlton infection.

Our friends down South, being sur

Our friends down South, being sure
that the negroes, are inferior, deny them
advantages and provide inferior schools for
children in order that they will continue to
be inferior and thus prove the correctness of
the contention of the scientists and senti-
mentalists that the negro is inferior. After
all, there is nothing quite SO satisfying as
the feeling that you will always have an in
erior race in your midst. Life.

At the meeting of the North Louisiana
Agricultural Association, which was held
in Tallulah Wednesday, there was a large
number of farmers from all over the parish,
and, from all we learned, there was no one
who went home who thought the day was
not well spent. Among the talks, all of
which were interesting as well as instruct
i've, was one by Mr.. Mason Snowden on corn
raising, which we feel sure will materially
benefit all who heard it and intend raising
corn.

The Inevitable Happened

The publication of newspapers, to be
must be based upon sound bust
ness principles, similar in all respects to the
successful administration of any kind of
business enterprise. For brief period it is
possible to continue the publication of an
"organ" or "sheet" for political or other
Interior object, but sooner or later-very
often sooner such an enterprise goes to the
"wall," and enlarges the Journalistic Grave
yard, where so many bright dreams end.
The latest daily newspaper in this Sec
ton to terminate long and honorable
career is the Natchez Democrat and Courier
published as morning newspaper in Nat
chez, Miss, thriving city much larger than
Monroe. The afternoon newspaper, the
Natchez News, has absorbed the Democrat
and Courier, the transaction to become effec-
tive March LIST. 1t has not been announced
which publication will cease to exist, but it
is more than probable that the morning
paper will not be issued after March LIST, as
the afternoon newspapers throughout the
the country are rapidly supplanting the
morning newspapers as disseminators ofreal
news.
The Democrat and Courier has been
published in Natchez for over half century,
and it is with sincere regret that we note
the passing Of this splendid journal. The
News was started three years ago, and as
has always followed when two newspapers
are published in field only large enough for
one, the inevitable happened-either con-
solidation was effected or one retired after a
desperate, pathetic struggle to avoid bank
|ruptcy.
Newspapers cannot exist on promises
and shot air." 1t takes real money and lots
of it, to keep newspaper going. Like any
other enterprise, there must be legitimate
patronage sufficient to make the venture
profitable, or failure will result. Sometimes
politicians who feel the need of an "organ, u
finance sheet for few months, or during
a campaign, but such publications cease to
exist after an election. Business people are
beginning to realize the fact that news.
paper must have legitimate field from
which to draw its patronage, else it cannot
exist, and they are not encouraging the
launching of newspapers just to serve the
political fortunes Of any set of men.
Natchez, after term of years during
which two newspapers sought to exist, ha.
at last joined Baton Rouge, Alexandria
Lake Charles, Monroe, Port Arthur, Texas
and many other small cities, and will hence
fourth support one newspaper. The newt
able happened at Natchez.-Monroe News
Star.

their money abroad, will find their way to
