We notice that the advocates OF the
proposed Constitutions amendmentare
publishing in newspapers and sending
out circulars saying that the Constitu
tional amendment works well IN
Louisiana; - that the Louisiana people
''paid no attention to the opponents OF
the amendment but went ahead and
ratified it."
We notice also that the opponents OF
the proposed Constitutional amend
ment are publishing in their newspa
pers and sending out circulars saying
that the amendment is very unpopular
in Louisiana; that it is causing much
trouble and has put the State under the
control of an interruptions political
ring.

election has yet been held under the

have been so held. Nor it is true that
the louisiana people ratified the pro

HAD YOU THOUGHT OF FTP

Not for many days have we read an
article that struck US moe forcibly
than a paragraph in the March Serb
ner's. Here it is, bristling with pointed
questions:
''Why is it that the development of
ethics has given us, granting, Of course,
the great. complexities involved, so
little n of discrimination as to the
moral qualities of acts and courses of
conduct, notably in the spheres of
politics and business3 Why is it that
the word immoral as pointed out in
a widely read book of two or three
years ago, America and the Ameri-
cans is restricted in popular usage to
i~mmoralities Of the appetites, while
sharp practice in business and corrup
ton in p~olitics-abuse of a trust-are
not, by implication, to be described as
'immoralF' To say of an interruptions
politician or business man that 80
and So ia immoral is to accuse him of
unchastity or drunkenness Yet,
though q Joseph and teetotaller in one,
his subtler sin against society may be
far more grievous, may strike far
deeper, than so-called open and flag
rant immortality"
There is here, to use a hackreyed
phrase, food for much thought. These
questions are not often thought Of; in
fact, we do not recall having seentheu
published in any form before the sp
pearance of the March S~cribner's. Yet
that the conditions pictured are real
is beyond question. That these things
ought not to be is equally undeniable.
And no reform in these matters is pos
sible except by education by the slow
but certain growth of the people in
moral strength and purity. 1t this
each person can aid by condemnipg as
strongly sins of business and political
life as the immorRlities of the Rppe.

DEALING IN a-AccLIMATRD" CAT
TIE.

For a long time-we do not know
how long-it has been accepted by the
people of this State that Northern cat
tie cannot be brought into the middle
and eastern part Of the State. They
die here in becoming ''acclimated." a
man wishing to improve his stock had
two ways to do it without bringing IN
Western or N Jrthern cattle OF mature
age. One was to buy calves which
..acclimate'' all right; the other to buy
of some one who has ''acclimated"
stock. There has, We believe, been
some considerable capital made by
breeders in the different States on
this point.
o., late since the cattle tickhas been
charged with producing atever similar
and perhaps identical with acclima-
ton fever, another way has been pro-
posed: to inoculate the cattle, young
ones, with the virus to bring on a mild
attack of s'acclim Ation" fever and make
the animal thus treated an immune,
that il, one free from becoming a victim
of ''acclimation" fever.
Suppose now "a" sells to 3D. a COW
or group Of young cattle guaranteeing
them accIimated." The seller has
had the parents of these animals q
number of years, brought them South
as calves, and has bred from them per
haps to the second and third genera :
ton. This COW or group, are taken to
another town or county or possibly
only across the county highway, and
10, they sicken and die Of acclimation
fever! Everyone concerned considered
the transaction and removal a safe n
but the cattle are either dead or SO
emaciated that the loss is about equal
to that on the dead ones. Q1ery: has
the purchaser been fairly dealt Wlth9
And, if not, in what respect has there
been any untairness9 And thirdly, is
there any lawful redress for him7
We would like to hear from two
classes of readers on these questions,
former breeders and buyers, and law
yer farmers who are informed as to
the statutes and interested in the i'm
provement of the cattle Of the common
wealth.
Some authoritive information which
we can use in The Progressive Farmer
within the next two months with
opinions of a number of Thoughtful
farmers my be of value especially
since in the early part Of last years
grazing there were numerous losses of
cattle from splenic, or aeclimated
fever, pronounced also Texas fever, red
water, and by the State Veterinarian
called Spanish fever.
The State is spending some effort and
the General G ,vernment has a pre-
scribed quarantine line across the State
and virtually says you cannot move
cattle across this line toward the
North for any purpose except imme-
date slaughter. This means no sales in
that direction where cattle are in very
great demand and leaves our whole
Eastern country almost as completely
out Of the prosperousb bait of the United
States as far as cattle are concerned as
if we were a foreign country. What
say you of this condition. And what
shall be done about it, readers of The
Progressive Farmer? f. e. e.

Our attention has been called to the
following extract from Mr. G. orge e.
Hunts letter on the Constitutional
amendment, published by us two or
three weeks ago: "Butif the proposed
amendment be adopted, it would dis
franchise thousands OF good, honest
white men in North Carolina and put
them below the dude negro. The
grandfather clause will not shield the
uneducated whites any longer than
until 1908" Mr.. Hunts critic points
out that all whites now Of age, or who
become of age before 1908 will be-
shielded by the grandfather clause as
long as they live, while it is true that
it will not shield those who become Of
age after 1908

Editor PROGRESSIVE Former, Raleigh,
N. c.:
DEAR SIR:-The daiFymen's fight to
stop the sale Of oleomargarine for but
ter has now progressed to the point
where general and united action by the
agricultural press and it's farmer con.
stitency, il exercised at once, will re-
suit in the passage of the Grout Bill
(H R 37I7), which, as you know, has
for several weeks been under c~onsidera.
tion by the House Committee on Agri-
culture.
It Is very important that every Con
gresham shall know the wishes of bic
constituents as to the passage of this
bill, and that, too, as quickly as pos
sible, and therefore your assistance is
asked to bring this matter before your
readers as strongly as you can, asking
every one to write to his representative
to work and vote for the circuit Bill,
and do all he can to secure its early
passage.
The National Dairy Union has been
granted several hearings by the House
Committee, and this week makes its
final argument on the measure, which
is certain to be favorably reported
within a few days. IL is therefore very
important that your readers are sd-
vised that nOtO is the time to work aS
never before.
Under separate cover we mail you
a brief compiled by Chas. Y. Knight,
Secretary Of the National Dairy Union,
wherein you will find the facts regard
ing oleomargine as they exist. A re-
view Of it viii show you that the posi-
ton Of the dairymen under present
laws is most desperate, and that the
Grout Bill offers the only remedy
against the frauds so boldly practiced
In the interests Of your readers, and
the welfare Of the dairy butiness gen
orally, we ask that you publish any
part Of it that Commends itself to you,
and especially urge your readers to LEI
their representatives in Congress know
that they expect them TO vote for this
m 1st important measure.
Counting upon your hearty support
I am,
Yours re~eneCkfullv.

SENATE BILL NO 1889

This bill is intended to ''give ade-
quate powers to the Inters ate Com
merce Commission" This Commission
has been hampered by court decisions
under the old law and it is desired that
some changes be made which a new
law may bring about. We trust the
North Carolina delegation in Congress
will favor and vote for this bill to a
man. Readers should lose no oppor-
tunity to let their representative know
they are in favor Of or opposed to
measures which affect the busint SO or
financial interests of people without re
grad to political lines, Members of
either political party should lay aside
the partizan to espouse the U the
cause of right in the interest of their
constituents where there are no politi-
cal G.ferences. For this Bill We are in
harmony with our friends Of the great
