From Our State EXCHANGES.

Referring to the recent suspen-
sion of the Richland Democrat,
the Ruston Leader says: When
an attempt is made to run two
newspapers in one paper COM
munity one of them eventually
and inevitably goes down. A case
of "the survival of the fittest."
Lake Charles American-Pre i:
1t would, of course, bring much
better results for the honorable
Legislators to 60 to work soberly
and peacefully, like bank clerks
or merchandise statesmen and
carry on the business of the State
in business like way, with no
dwadling at the beginning and no
rush at the end: but in that case
it would not be a legislature.
Monroe News-Star: The Rich
land Beacon-N News of Rayville,
has boughtthe Rayville Democrat,
merging the two papers, thus put
ting out of painful existence a
second paper, started some five
years ago. in a community that
could barely furnish support for
one. Communities large and small,
are learning more and more that
it is an economic waste and a
wrong idea of community devel-
opment, to crowd the field with
newspapers that have to struggle
for existence. The demand is
more clearly for better newspapers
and the people of our sister town
are to be congratulated that they
have finally awakened tothis quite
generally accepted view of the
newspaper business, and they
should unite their support to make
the one paper a credit to their
town and parish.

The grievances of the dissatis-

words are "just like the man"
Indeed, it is a consolation to learn
that we are to have a law that will
protect the rights of the people in
dry territory from the law-defying
whisky element in this State, who
have long impudently Knocked
both law and public sentiment in

Memphis Commercial Appeal:

Louisville Courier-JOurnal: Is

Must the modern word accept it
as legitimate war? In a word,
has not Germany taken civiliza-
ton and Christianity by the throat
and made an irrepressible conflict?
Richmond News Leader: Few
who are familiar with Italy's his
tory will view as perfidy her re-
nunciation of a treaty forced upon
her by necessity and violated in
spirit, if not in letter, by Austria's
attack on Serbia without notice to
her southern ally. That which
made the treaty has broken it.
The instinct of self-preservation
which compelled Italy to join Aus
tria, her traditional enemy, and
Germany, her betrayer in 1856
had led her to join the forces des-
tined to dominate the Mediterraen.

diplomacy of Cavour has been re-
vived by Salandra; the work Of
the one bids fair to be completed
by the other. That prospect is
ample justification for Italy.

A recent killing in Ouachita

Hon. Leon Locke, Chairman OF
the House Committee on Appro-
priations, said recently: 1--WE
have about $4,000 to meet re-
quests of about 50, 100000. The
absolute needs of the State insti-
tutions are certainly greatly in ex :
cess Of the money available. II
has been estimated at 81 500, 900. y
If the inordinate demands of some

THE RECORD OF GERMAN CRIME.

TIE last lingering shreds OF
doubt as to the truthfulness Of the
frightful charges against the Ger
man soldiery in their Belgium
campaign must disappear before
the report of the British Commit
tee appointed to investigate the
matter. That the world might be
absolutely assured of the good
faith and competency of the COM
mittee, Viscount Bryce, former
British Ambassador at Washing
ton, was appointed chairman, and
men such as Sir F. Pollock, Sir
E. Clark, Sir A. Hopinson, Har-
old Cox and Kenelm Digby were
placed upon it. The report OF
this committee was recently made
public. After carefully consider
ing the evidence of 1900 persons
the committee was compelled to
admit that some of the worst of
the stories were only too we'll sub
stantiated. The report contains
about 10000 words. and gives all
the sickening details. The final
verdict of the committee is as fol-
lows:
"First That there were in
many parts of Belgium deliberate
and systematically organized mas
sacres of the civil population, &C.
comapanied by many isolated
murders and other outrages.
"Second-That in the conduct
of the war generally innocent
civilians, both men and women,
were murdered in large numbers,
women violated and children MUIR
dered.
"Third-That looting, house
burning and the wanton destruc-
ton of property we're ordered and
countenanced by the officers of
the German army; that elaborate
provision had been made for sys-
tematic incendiarism at the very
outbreak of the war, and that the
burning and destruction were fire.
quent!y where no military neces-
SHY could be alleged, being indeed
part of system Of general terror
iza;iun.
Fvurth-That the rules and
usages of war were frequently
broken, particularly by the using
of civilians, including women and
children, as a shield for advancing
forces exposed to fire, to a less
degree by killing the wounded and
prisoners, and in the frequent
abuse Of the Red Cross and the
white flag"
And the committee adds that
Murder, lust and pillage pre-.
vailed over many parts of Belgium
on a scale unparalleled in any
war between civilized nations
during the last three centuries
If We mistake not this report oil
the committee will become an his.
toric document, forever pillorying
the German army of invasion tt
the horror stricken gaze of ar
astonished world.
