The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1915-07-29

New Orleans es-Picayune: The estate
of Texas contains nearly three times the
population of Louisiana and six times its
assessed wealth; and naturally it's courts
have great deal of business to handle; yet
it has gotten along up to date with Su-
preme Court of only three members, a chief
justice and only two associates. There
have been some complaints lately that this
court needed additional members in order
to keep up with its business; and the Leg
islature, at its last session, submitted to the
people an amendment to the constitution
increasing the number of judges to five.
Compare this with the original proposition
of the Louisiana Probe Commission some
days ago to increase our court to ten
seven justices on the Supreme Court proper
and three on Court of Criminal Appeal.
At an election held last Saturday in
Texas the proposed amendment increasing
the number of judges to five in that State
was defeated by majority of about 80, 900.
just think of it! Three Supreme Court
Judges in the largest State in the Union,
and five in Louisiana, with piteous cry
for two to five more. Where, oh where are
the friends of the Louisiana taxpayers?-

WORDS OF APPRECIATION FOR EDIIURS'

Hon. J. Y. Joyner, State Superintendent
of Public Education, at recent joint SEES
sion of the North and South Carolina Press
Associations, said: SIN my opinion, with
the exception of the teachers and others
actively engaged in educational work, the
editors of North Carolina have contributed
more for less pay than any others to the
educational progress of this State during
the thirteen years of my administration.
With the exception of the public school,
the public press is perhaps the greatest in
strumentality for public education" The
same words of appreciation could as truth
fully be applied to the editors OF Louisiana,
who are always friendly and Jealous CO.
workers in any great cause for the common
good. However, as there is not glory
enough for all" herein Louisiana, the chief
politics al Office chaser and the high-salaried
college presidents appropriate all the credit
for educational advancement, not even
understanding to give any credit whatever
to the liberal taxpayers, who cheerfully
support the schools and pay the big salaries
of the autocratic highbrows.

Mansfield Enterprise: Mansfield now
has seventeen and half miles of concrete
side walks, which we believe is the record
for town of less than five thousand pop
ulation.
Assumption Pioneer: The first hog sale
of Louisiana raised hogs was held last week
near Plaquemine, in Iberville Parish. This
sale brought over 81 900 in hard cash to the
stock company, the earnings of about six
teen months. The farm is one of the lead
ing Duroc Jersey hog farms in the country.

jeremiah.

Yet they hardened not unto me, nor in
clined their ear, but hardened their neck:
they did worse than their fathers, g..
But they hardened not, nor inclined their
ear, but walked in the counsels and in the
Imagination of their evil heart, and went
backward, and not forward, "a.
Therefore thou shalt speak all these
words unto them; but they will not harken
to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but
they will not answer thee. But thou shalt
say unto them, this is nation that obeyeth
not the voice of the Lord their God, nor
receiveth correction: truth is persisted, and
is cut off from their mouth, 27-28.
Do they provoke me to anger? saith the
Lord: do they not provoke themselves to
the confusion of their own faces? There
fore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine
anger and my fury shall be poured out
upon this place, upon man, and upon beast,
and upon the trees of the field, and upon
the fruit of the ground: and it shall burn,
and shall not be quenched.-7, 1920.

FROM OUR STATE EXCHANGES.

New Orleans States: We regret to learn
that Kaiser Bill has lost all his foreign coll
onies except Milwaukee and st. Louis.
Says Senator Cunningham in the Match
itoches Times: Much of the talk about the
Bag Men, big brains, etc., is buncombe.
After all, the vital question is to get men
of good hard common sense, the main
qualification outside of this is to have men
of unsel6sh and patriotic motives in the
convention.
Lake Charles Press: Com
menting on the refusal of the East Baton
Rouge police jury to call prohibition cleo
ton recently the Baton Rouge Chronicle
makes the rather broad assertion that in
Shreveport and other cities where prohibi-
ton is in effect the results have been very
unsatisfactory. Speaking for Lake Charles
the American Press can state that the peo-
pie of the city as whole are very we'll
pleased with the working of the prohibition
law. They would no more think of return
ing to the old days of the open saloon just
because few bootleggers violate the Law

tirely be eliminated.
FLORIDA FarlSneS: u. ". burden, erSL"
while editor of the Kentwood New Era,
shook the dust of that town from his feet
some time during Tuesday night, leaving
the New Era devil in charge of the Office,
kindly assisted by sweet angel of mercy
who was employed as compositor. Dur
denis flight by night is ample proof that
the New Era was business failure. The
cloud with the silver lining" failed to
materialize and burden chose the inevita-
BILE route former of his make up-roaming
printers. His leaving brings to light the
further fact that Kentwood cannot and will
not support two newspapers. The business
won't justify competition, and it is folly tc
run up against an old established newspa.
per with the idea of putting it out of CON-
mission. This applies to other towns be-
sides Kentwood.

Can Eat Hometown Wheat Flour

Concordia Sentinel
A wholesale house over in Natchez has
just received several hundred barrels of
flour that were 'smilled" from wheat grown
in what is commonly called the Natchez
District, which embraces Concordia and
adjacent parishes in our State. But the
bulk of the wheat from which the flour was
ground. the Sentinel is told, was grown in
Concordia, whose soil appears to be adj
mirably adapted to the growth of grains
and cerals of all kinds.
AS is well-known, the production of large
quantities of wheat, oats, corn, rice, etc.,
was brought about by the appearance in
our midst of the destructive boll-weevil,
which necessitated the abandonment of the
call cotton" system, that previously pre-
vailed from time immemorial here, and a
new system of crop production rendered
absolutely necessary, and the wheat raised
here commanded a good remunerative price
in the st. Louis market where the mills
ground it into flour.
1t will doubtless be a novelty to those of
our readers who grew wheat to realize and
know they produced it, just as they have
in many instances, produced corn, the meal
of which they made their cornbread.
The Sentinel believes that the time will
come when there will be sufficiency of
wheat raised in Concordia to justify the
establishment of Touring mill and REIN
cry in Vidalia, and also be enough sugar
cane grown in the parish, whose soil is also
adapted to this crop, to warrant the erection
of sugar mill and refinery in Vidalia, or
some other point in the parish.

Association Of Mayors.

Shreveport Times
The idea of organizing an association of
mayors of Louisiana towns is good one.
1t will establish community of interests
among the urban centers of the State
which should prove mutually helpfnll and
beneficial and have widespread influence
for the general good.
Itnot infrequently happens thato COM
munity adops an idea or works out problem
which is Of invaluable service in promoting
its welfare and advancement and which
might be adopted with profit by other COM
munities. Such ideas may be economic,
moral, social or civic in their natures, and
it will be a public benefit to have them ex-
plotted generally.
There are innumerable municipal prob.
lens with which each of the towns of the
State has to deal at one time or another.
In the plan of cooperation which is pro-
posed the best experience of all of them
will be available, and thus it will not be
difficult to choose that plan which has given
the best results.
Mayors Elan of Mansfield and Knott OF
Ruston are taking lead in this movement
to organize the heads of the various NUM-
CAPABILITIES of Louisiana and have been so
greatly encouraged that they have called
a meeting at Alexandra on August 22d at
which it is hoped permanent association
will be formed. Both are forward looking
men and deserve to be successful in the
plan they have undertaken.

Obituary..

Obituary.
. On July Is, 1915, the Death Angel visited
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Vassar Windsor
and took from them their darling little boy,
E. D., aged four years, three months and
four days.
He was sweet little boy of lovable dis
position and the idol of the home. Every
thing was done for him that good physi-
clan and loving hands could do, but none
could stay the hand of death. An all-wise
and merciful God, who maketh no mis-
takes, loved him best and took his little
spirit to dwell with Him above.
His stay on earth was brief, yet not in
vain-but Oh, so sweet! God only knows
no tongue can express how it grieves US to
give up one so dear. While you miss him
here and feel your loss is great, still we
know that it is much better for him to
dwell in that heavenly home, where there
is no pain, no sin, no hardships nor sor-
SOW, where God will dry all tears from his
little eyes.
Dear father, mother, grandparents and
all, comfort yourselves with the thought
that:
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon this love has given;
And though his body sumbers here,
His soul is safe in heaven.
May the richest blessings of the Lord be
yours to sustain you here, and when you
are done with the perishable things of this
world, prepare you for that inheritance that
fadeth not away, eternal in the heavens,
where you can meet your darling and be
with him forever. c. en-.
