If the farmers Of Preston would
know why it was money for the
machine TO tax their stock under
one year Of age they can find the
reason 10 the ezltavagsnt ezpendi
lures Of their hard earned money
whereby they have increased the
State expenditures $1,000, 600 a
year Had it not been for this enor
nous increase in appropriations
there would have been no cause for
new tax laws. But the Machine
had to increase its army Of Office
holders in order 20 hold its grip on
the State, and as result the
the farmers and small tax payers

STRIKE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.

Final disposition of the celebra-
ted strike case of Nj. S. Kemmerer
ct al, against Thomas Haggerty
and others was made by Judge Golf
in chambers Saturday evening in
United States Circuit Court. The
injunction granted by Judge John
]. Jackson, before he retired from
the bench was dissolved and the
bill of complaints dismissed, Judge
Goh deciding that the federal court
was without jurisdiction.
1t was in this proceeding that
Thomas Haggerty, Bernard Flaherty
John Noon, two justices and three
constables were arrested for con-
tempt of cour; by Judge Jackson,
who had the defendants imprisoned.
Judge COTS opinion, holding that
the court was without jurisdiction in
the cause, places the imprisonment
as false and the defendants have in
stituted actions in the circuit court
of Preston county for damages of
S., 900 each for false imprisonment,
against the plaintiffs in the Injunction
suit, who include the Pennsylvania
Consolidated Coal Company, Sam

The claim has been made for
years by the leaders of the Democ-
racy that the Republican party was
owned by the trusts, the protected
industries and the monopolies, hut
a majority of the voters have been
unable to see or think clearly
enough to appreciate the truth of
the charge. 1t has remainedi for
a Republican President to point out
to the people that "the protected
hogs must take their feet out Of the
trough" And even in the face
of that assertion, the Republicans
in Congress, who we'll know that
they are elected with the campaign
funds contributed by the protected
industries. dare not pare the tariff
until it shall produce suhicien; rev.
enue to pay the federal expenses but
on the contrary propose TO leave
the tariff alone while they tax the
people still more to raise necessary
revenue.

Now is the time for the farmers
and laboring men to get together
and organize to fight any candidate
who stands for the present tax laws.

1t is worthy of notice that all over
the State the people are taking the
greatest interest in the tax issue.
1t is now the foregoing conclusion
-that'no man can be elected as a
member of the House of Delegates
or to the State Senate who will not
pledge himself to repeal, or at least
vote to revise, the infamous tax
laws.

that the letter Of "Only A Farmer"

There is one thing which must be
said TO the credit Of the Preston
County Leader, and that is that BE-
has always been consistent on the
new tax laws. When editor Lee
Shaw ran as candidate at the Re
publican primary for the House Of
Delegates he came out openly
against the tax laws True Editor
Shaw was beaten by Uncle Joe
Davis bot il was by a very few
votes. Bro. Shaw has never chang.
ed bis position on the tax laws
while many 81 bis party has.

PURSE NETS ARE
NOT DANGEROUS
PUNTA coRDA HERALD ARGUES
THAT FLoRICNs FISH SUP
PLY WILL NOT BE EX-
HAUSTED BY THEIR
USE.

A recent issue of the Punta Gorda
Herald contained the following article
relative TO the use OF purse nets by
fishermen:
The esteemed Times-Union appre-
hends that Florida's fsh supply is in
danger of being exhausted by purse
nets. and accordingly it cries out for
righteous protection by enactment of
the legislature. From a cursory read
ing of its editorial of February II. it
seems taat the Tines MON has eth
er not given the subject the careful
investigation it deserves, or else has
COMPOUNDED the purse seins with the
stop-net.
The former. the purse seine, is
used only where no other appliance is
practicable, and. on the Florica coast,
there is only one place where il is
now used or likely 10 be used, and
that is Hawkes. Channel. Even there
il is quite unlikely to wreak the whole
sale destruction which che Times
Union apprehends. for il is used only
out in the ocean, where only one kind
OF FISH is sought or caught.
TIE purse seine is used fer taking
Spanish mackerel. which are q migra-
tory fish. In winter. these fish come
TO Florida waters. AS warm weather
or-,rna1bAc rhar- moro nor. b..-~ ~ on
are caught in large numbers in the
waters of the Georgia ana Carolina
1 coasts. If then. Florida fishermen
should be prohibited from catching
them with purse nets. which are the
only appliance thst can be used for
che purpose. ii follows that the Geor-
gia and Carolina fishermen will be
given a monopoly Of the Spanish
mackerel business, AMI our fishermen
viii be seriously injured
Why should not our fishermen be
permitted to have their share of Span
ish mackerel as the fish are swim
ming northward to the nets of our
neighbors?
The purse seine is never dragged
ashore, hauling out many fish 10 be
left on the SANDS 80 die. but il is gath
cred I'D and emptied Of its catch IN
the open waters; and every fish not
reserved for market. escapes alive
into the waters again. 1t is, there
fore. not near as harmful as the stop
nets and haul-nets. which are recog-
nized as lawful implements.
There are wholesale FISH dealers in
Jacksonville who should take it upon
themselves to enlighten our metro
politan contemporary on the subject
of fsh-neSs. fishing and fish protection
But, positively, the best thing TO
suggest and advocate for the preserv-
ing Of our fish supply is the establish
mentSof fish hatchery al every i'm
portanes fishing point on the coast OF
Florfca. That will restore to the wa
tiers a hundred fish for every one Ia
