Automobiles are a good thing and they have come to, stay, but
the large number of accidents every week are causing: the people
to sit up and take notice. There is too much. fast and reckless
driving. There is hardly a doubt but what a large percentage Of
tile accidents with autos is caused by rushing over the roafs too
speed limit, there should be a stringent law made to keep him
within decent bounds.

- A wealthy San Francisco lady drove
up to the North Dakota; building the
other day in her limousine and pro-
ceeded to sketch the outlines of the
building, explaining she was going to
build a villa cal the city and wanted
to have it a reproduction of the North
Dakota building, for she considered it
the most beautiful piece Of architec-
ture on the exposition grounds. Com
ing from a lady who has ample means
to build anything she wants makes
this a pretty compliment to the archi.
tect of the building and the North
Dakota Commission.

Hon. Chas. Grow of Minot, who has
been attending the exposition, has
been spending a great deal of his time
studying the good roads problem, as
there is no other man in North OAK
ota who takes more interest in this
question than Mr.. Grow. There is
ample opportunity to get wised up on
this subject here at the exposition
and about San Francisco, for a great
deal Of attention has been paid to this
one item, and the roads in this part
of California are perfect: although
built at an expense that would stag
ger the average North Dakotan. 1t
is safe to say that Mr.. Grow will bring
some valuable information back home
with him.

A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The editor Of one Of the smaller newspapers Of The state is said
to have received the following letter:
Please s send me a few copies Of the paper containing. the otHu-
raige of my niece, who lives in Lebanon. And l wish you would
mention in your local column, if it don't cost anything, that I have
two bull calves for sale. AS my subscription is out please stop nv
paper. Times are too bad to waste money on newspapers"
The letter may be genuine or it may be the satirical production
of a newspaper maker, but who ever is the authorit represents ad-
mirably the nhen1ai ar1tu's Of a vast number Of persons toward
the newspaper. The average man or woman thinks the charge
for an advertisement, no matter what it may be, is too high. The
general idea is that the newspaper has to fill it's columns and th:t
anyone who helps in any manner in the filing is doing a favor to
the editor. To the country editor the collection of subscription
Is the bane Of his life. Many a man honest in other lines will
think nothing of lodging payment of his subscription to his coun-
ty paper and feel resentment if he paper stops coming. Not a
few persons who pay for the paper more or less regularly feel in
their hearts they are doing an act Of charity an that they are
placing the editor under a debt of gratitude.

A few years ago there was a man by the name Of Archtander,
better known as "Gold Ship, A%rchtander' who worked this conn,
try with a wildcat scheme, and how the people bit, only to find
out later that they were badly duped. A little later on q large
number of farmers and business men were ,humbrgged by the Sag
caused many people in this county is still in evidence. Now we
have LOTUS, who to our notion is working along about the same
up to the fact that they have been "'Loftusized' out OF their
money. Will people never wake up to the fact that when these
that we should steer shy of them? LOTUS makes a terrible TRADE
aboutthe existing wrongs of the grain market, but do You notice
that he offers no remedy for the righting of these wrongs, more
than to say give me your business"
LOTUS by the people of this city and county last Wednesday and
Thursday. By riding on the tail Of L%aFoaette's kite he was en-;
abled to talk to about $50 people for a short time Wednesday, and
Thursday forenoon when he was billed to talk at the ChautauquHa
auditorium he didn't have enough listeners to make a corporals
GUARD. People are waking up to the fact that It's "too much LOT
tis." "

Wants Singers Organized.
A few words to our little corner:

"A lew WOIuS 10 OuF llItie COFueT.
We have spent the winter months hav-
ing our frolics and dances and have all
had a jolly time. Now let's change
this around and organize a singing and
we will be better prepared for our pro-
tracted meetings to follow during the
summer months.
We want to-day men and women who
will make up their minds to do what is
right, and who will stand by it if the
heavens tumble on their heads. What
is to become of Christian associations
and Sunday schools?
Any man can go with the crowd, but
we want men and women who can and
will go against the current. Not hav-
ing singing and Sunday school is just a
habit. heard of lady once saying
she had gotten so in the habit of exag-
gerating that her friends said they
could never understand her. The cure
is simple, but not very pleasant. Treat
it as a sin. The same will cure you of
not having singing and Sunday school.
So let's organize as soon as we can.
Yours very respectfully,
J. E. MCCAIN.

Views and Reviews
BY RED LAND BILL.

The habit OF dependence is fatal to
happiness and success in every emer-
gency of life. We must depend on our
selves or fail.
One who leans in small things will
try to lean in big ones. The only safe
way is to learn independence by prac-
ticing in trifles. ~.
"A right purpose needs to be rein
forced by foresight and wisdom. Many
a time we fail to realize our ideals
through neglect.
NO one is wise who does not take
the future into account, and the chief of
follies is to live for this life alone and
forget that which is coming.
Our failures RE as likely to be the
result of small defects as of greater ones.
The foolish virgins and the wise were
alike in all essentials but one.
The waiting time is a time of test
ing. Faith loosens its grip and ardor
cools as time passes. Gods promises
are for those who endeavor to the end.

Want Improved Road Extended.

As readers of the Banner know, one
of the improved roads in the newly ere
ated road district of our parish leads
from Bossier City east to Red Chute
Bayou. 1t is now planned to extend it
on through Ward Six to the Webster
Parish line. To further this end public
meeting of representative citizens, at
which an organization was perfected,
with Mr.. J. M. Freeman as its President,
was held at Haughton last Saturday.
The planned route across the ward is
about ten miles in length and it is pro-
posed to float bonds to raise the neces-
sary fund with which to construct the
road. The Webster Parish Police Jury,
it is said, has assured the taxpayers of
Ward Six that if the road is extended
from Red Chute to the Bossier- Webster
line they would furnish funds to continue
it on through to Minden.
