THE BIG STICK"
ON LEGISLATION
Fair Play Committee Sends
Out a Letter Knocking
Certain Bills.
ORIGIN OF IT is UNKNOWN
DOCUMENT is OF SPECIAL INTER
EST ON ACCOUNT OF STORMY
SESSIONS PROMISED IN THE
LEGISLATURE.

Hundreds of Richmond citizens, and
doubtless thousands of people all over
Indiana, yesterday received copies of
an anonymous circular letter in which
.the big stick" is welded in a vigor-
GUS manner against some proposed leg
islation, which the coming session of
the General Assembly will be called
upon to consider. The letter is sign
ed by order of the Fair Play Commit
tee but there is nothing in the text
of the document to indicate just who
the fair play" Committee may be.
There is some indication, however,
that the letter may be inspired by
some branch of the medical profession
which has special antipathy for medic
al legislation that is to come before the
General Legislature. AS an evidence
that there are to be some stormy
times at the legislative session the
letter sent out has special interest. In
part, it follows:

The Palladium Is the author of a neat
little volume of verse just issued by
the Penn Publishing Company, and
which in it's max up, is novelty in
the Christmas book line.
Burton's style is not elaborate, and
his verses for the most part are brief
in nature, yet possessing a sentiment
reader. The title verse of the bocklcs
Merry Christmas" is fair example
of Burton's work. 1t is as follows:
Merry Christmas.
Merry ChriSt II Is, Here to YOU,
Hope you 20 cares are small and few.
Hope you're happy; seems to rue
AS though everyone should be.
Life is good-s;o good, old friend,

Pictures in the Fire.
AS a descriptive writer, Burton ex-
hibits considerable talent, displayed in
his Pictures in the Fire. the first
verse of which gives an outline of the
poem:
What vague and shadowy phantoms
rise
From out the flames, and greet mine
eyes
AS sprawling in my easy chair
Before the fire; my fancies there
Go drifting past in weird parade
Like some fantastic cavalcade.
Thanksgiving Optimist.
The booklet contains one or two
verses in the humorous line, one of
which is along the rural style. 1t is
entitled "A Thanksgiving Optimist,
and is one of the best offerings in the
book, reading as follows:
Thanksgivin' time is here agin'
An though l 'aint got much
T. be thankful fer, yit, I'll join In
An thank the Lord fer such
AS he has given me, in the year
thet'S past
An hope and pray next year I'll git

to the bench. Harry L. Taylor whom
Gov. Higgins appointed judge of the Erie

For four years he was captain of the
Cornell University base ball team. After

Louisville team in the same league. His
ability as a ball player was quickly rec

with the fans. He quit the game, how
ever, to return to Cornell to complete his
law course, and while there coached the
college teams.
After taking his degree and entering

identified with base ball here, and last
year was president of the Eastern League.

WILL ASK FOR HEARING.
Dairymen Say Bill for Regulating
Milk Traffic Will Be Detrimental.

Da1rymen Say Bill LOT Regulating
Milk Traffic Will Be Detrimental.
washington will become practically a
dry town. so far as milk is concerned
should the bill now pending before Con-
gress for the regulation of the milk traf-
fic become a law said an officer Of the
Dairymen's Association of the District Of
Columbia, Virginia and Maryland to Star
reporter today. Some of the features of
the measure would impose almost impos-
sible conditions on the parties who ship
milk to this city, as well as upon the local
dairymen."
The bill in question, the dairymen say,
health officer. It was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Gallinger, and in the
House by Representative Babcock. Off,
GERS Of the organization Of dairymen said
today that they would ask to be given a
hearing on the matter before both the
House and Senate District of Columbia
committees.
They say that among the Objectionable
features Of the bill Is that which requires
all milk coming into the District to be at
tempera ture of 30 degrees Fahrenheit. This
they add, will necessitate the use of Ice to
cool all milk in transit, the average tenn
perature of the water in this section of the
United States is between IS and 81 degrees
In this particular. it was explained, the bill
affects the shippers more than 1t does the
dealers, and they are expected to join
forces with the local dairymen in opposing
the passage of the measure.
A prominent dairymen claims that the
enactment of the bill will practically block
all milk from the District. He character
lied the published statement that the bill
would be in the interest of a great milk,
chicken and egg trust as untrue.
