The driver is not always at fault in
the case Of fatal accident.
The pedestrian is often careless.
But here is a clean cut case. with the
pedestrian right where he was sup
posed to be, clearly within his rights.
and with the auto driver exactly where
he had NO right to be, and drunk, and
driving 35 miles an hour, in the bar

We can expect the slaughterinq to 20

slaughter finds every prosecuting official

Too Much That is Good in
"The Birth of a Nation"
For Harm to Come Of 1t

We have been to see that great, stu
pendous moving picture production,
The Birth of Nation" in the Detroit
opera house.
We think none the less of any re-
spectacle, law-abiding. home-loving col
ored citizen of our city, now that we
have seen the picture.
It shows good Negroes and bad
Negroes.
1t shows good whites and bad whites
II is by no means a blanket indict-
ment of either race
II any colored man in Detruit-any
colored man of THIS DAY AND AGE
feels that the picture does him an injus-
tice. or portrays him in any way, his
/. complaint classes him as the type of
I, colored man with whom decent colored
citizen would refuse to associate.
AS matter of fact, The Birth of a
Nation" indicts but one colored man
among the thousands it shows.
One has only to think little as the
piece unreels to pity the poor, ignorant,
deluded blacks as they are ridden down
In the streets by the Ku Klux clan, the
victims of ONE negro's evil heart and
mind and hunger for power.
The picture is powerful work in it's
condemnation of false and selfish lead
ers, seeking only prestige and place,
and contains a lesson for whites as much
as it does for blacks.
Politics knows this one man of evil
calculations; he has been found in the
church; he has been found in the labor
union; he is ever present in society.
This one bad negro cared not what be-
came of his people.
He set himself up in power. using
their dead bodies as stepping stones to
that-power. -
His peopls n:.sde him their leader. but
at the time of all when they NEEDED
him as their leader, when they were be-
ing clubbed and beaten and killed, HE
WAS NOT THERE.
How like; INDEED, how like it is to-
day in politics.
We want to ask you a question:
Have you seen "The Birth of a Ma
tion?"
No? GO.
If you are a supporter of prepared
ness, BY ALL MEANS, go.
The picture presents war in all it's
ghastly details; shows how it causes
tears to flow and hearts to ache with
pain and how ruin and want are left III
its wake.
The argument of the picture against
war is the argument we have always ad-
vanced against war in this column
that to appreciate JUST what war
means, one death has to be singled out
of thousands and THOUGHT ABOUT
that one may sense what it means back
home md to the ties Of home.
Schoolmates, ore Tie son of a North
ern mother and the other the son of a
Southern mother-young men who had
parted some years before with the VOW
that they would meet again. DO meet
again--one IN blue and the other in
gray, 10 die in each others arms on the
battlefield as battle ragged.
Right there we hoped they'd show an
other picture and they did.
They showed the home of the boy in
gray and they showed what this ONE
death meant there TO an aged father, to
= mother and two sisters.

Safety Zones Offer No
Protection Against Auto
Drunks; Prison Would

Granted that this is the motor age.
Granted that it had to follow in the
.readjustment Of space. and laws and
rights. that the pedestrian would have TO
give a little ground
He was painted a little space IN the
streets, wherein to stand while waiting
for his street car, and crowded into it,
much as the Indian was crowded little
by little from the '@ad that was all his
own originally,
The pedestrian accepted this lFrange-
ment because it insured him safety.
The idea of its being his zone, EX-
.CLUSIVELY, was rather pacifying in
itself.
Little human nature there.
Sunday night, pedestrian stood on
West Fort-st.. waiting for a street ear,

had nothing to fear
An automobile came along-at the
rate of So miles an hour one witness
said.
This automobile came along paid no
attention to the white marks and killed
this citizen.
NOW:
That we have had il demonstrated
that safety zones are not a positive guar
antee against the death or manning of
citizens;
That eye witnesses and the patrol
man who made the arrest, declare that
the driver of this death car was drunk

Charbon Vaccination.
To The Live Stock Owners
of the State.

Due to the prevalence of charbon
last year. in various sections OF the
State. this Board earnestly advises
early incubation or vaccination.
this season, OH the part of the live
stock owners, i'm order to anticipate
a recurrence of the infection and
for the purpose Of having their
live stock protected in ample time
before the advent of warm weather,
which is the charbon season.
In accord with Federal regula-
,ious. supervising the manufacture
and distribution of biological pro-
ducts, this particular vaccine should
bear date of expiration not to
exceed three months which will
insure better and more potent
material, consequently more salts

Past experience has taught that
best results are obtained when
The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1916-03-11

animals are vaccinated against
charbon early in the Spring SO as
to allow thirty days in which to
secure protection before the season
approaches, when charbon infec-
tion usually develops.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board strongly urges, therefore,
that. in those sections of the State
in which charbon infection has
been known to exist in previous
years, vaccination Of animals
should commence no later than
March LIST. That is. the first dose
of a double dose vaccine. should be
given at that time.
IF stock owners will give this
matter their careful attention. il
will increase the number of pro-
,ected animals at the beginning Of
the charbon season, and materially
limit the spread of the disease,
should the coming Summer prove
favorable to the development OF
charbon infection.
