CAN ONE SERVE TWO MASTERS?
How the Question Looks as IL Bumps
Against the LnSvyer-States-
man.

Senator Bailey of Texas says there is no
reason why he should not act as a cor
poration lawyer while serving as a member
of congress. He may be right about this.
Many other senators have adopted his view
of the case. Still, 1t is possible that
senator who served as attorney for big
railroad or oil company might now and
then find himself in an embarrassing situa-
ton. II, for instance, Senator Bailey were
the hired attorney for the D., w. G. NJ.
Railroad company, and that corporation
had wrongfully and unlawfully gained pos
session of valuable lands which properly
belonged to the government. that is to
say. the people of the United States, would
It be possible for him TO fulfill the con-
ditions of his oath of Office and at the
same time serve the corporation to the
best of his ability?
We might expect him, under such cir
cumstances, to take up the papers in the
case and as he looked them over say to
himself:
las an honest servant of the people 1t
is my duty to do my best not only to have
these lands restored to the government,
but to secure the punishment of the viii
lains who stole them. But as attorney for
the railroad company l must remember
that my professional obligation is sacred.
mere are papers winch, IL Iney were pre-
scented in court, would bring about the i'm
mediate conviction of the guilty parties.
AS a public official, sworn to protect the
interests of the people. 1 shall be recreant
to my trust If 1 fail TO give the govern
ment the benefit of the Information which
/ possess. Yet, on the other hand, the
ethics of my profession require that l pro-
coed at once to do everything / can to
protect my clients, therefore 1t is my duty
to keep these papers out of court and to
suppress the facts which they disclose. 1
must not forget that the United States
pays me a salary as large as that OF q
fair to middling base ball player, expect
ing in return undertaking loyalty and the
exertion Of my best efforts in the promo
ton of good government. Still, as attorney
for the railway company. my yearly salary
amounts to as much as that of a second
rate jockey. or, might say. is equal to
the share of a middleweight pugilist who
is able to stay twenty-three rounds. Where
do l get OF? AS senator of the United
States l might compel myself as corpora
ton attorney to give up the papers, and
then as attorney for the railway company
l could seize and destroy them before
had found an opportunity to present them
in court. Or as the legal adviser OF the
corporation / might convince myself as
the servant OF the people that the papers
were worthless. But while endeavoring to
do that l might inadvertently betray TO
myself secrets which as a member of con-
gress would consider It my duty TO lay
before the senate to the end that the
rights of the people were upheld. sim,
to put the case another way-but, con-
found it. what's the use Of bothering about
the matter? BY having the whole thing
put off for a few years everybody may for
get about It. and I've got to go and see
about having myself reelected anyway"

KILLING FEVER TICKS.
Promising Experiments Undertaken by the Asricul-
tural Department
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

To stamp out Texas cattle fever.
This is the hope of the Department of
Agriculture. The Department has been
working on the problem for some
time, and II has almost been proved
to the satisfaction Of officials that the
tick which causes the fever can be
eradicated from a pasture simply by
keeping cattle out of that pasture. The
tick is not a herbivorous insect, and
it Will die out If the pasture is kept
free of cattle 1t is believed that if
one pasture on farm is always kept
free OF cattle over what might be
termed the life period of the tick, it
will furnish perfectly safe pasturage
for uninfected animals in case fever
breaks out in the rest of the herd.
OF course, the Department of Agri-
culture has no right to go into a State
and enforce the free pasturage policy,
and the matter cannot be, or at least is
not, always dealt with satisfactorily
by State officials But in cases where
the Department is officially invited to
come into n State and take charge OF
cleaning it up, it is quite ready to do
so Tentative arrangements have al
ready been made for this work with
the authorities in some States, and it
is believed that it will be quite pos
sible to stamp out the fever and al
low the free interstate transportation

The Manure Pit.

Where is the wise farmer who would
sell to his neighbor a load of his finest
corn or a load of some green crop for
a dollar bill, Yet there are thousands
of agriculturists all over the country
who are doing practically this very
thing when they dispose of their barn
yard manure for 81 a load. Others
are wasting the most valuable constitu-
ents of the manure they save. The
manure produced on the farm is its
most valuable asset

obtained in cattle feeding represents
largely. If not entirely, the profit OF

reasons for the high esteem in which
farm manure is held. 1t contains all

TO Introduce Cattle from India.
While this quarantine and extirpa-
uon work is going on, similar expert
ment on different lines directed to
the same end will soon be under way.
There have been imported TO some
OF the Texas ranges specimens of the
Indian sacred cattle. and it has been
found that they were immune to the
Texas fever. Apparently there is an
oil in the skin that is repugnant to the
tick. At any rate they will not har-
Dor the parasite. The half-bloods and
even animals containing but one-six-
teenth part Indian blood have been
found immune, and they make just as
good beef cattle as can be found,
There are very stringent laws
against the importation of foreign
stock into this country without thor
ough examination and quarantine:
therefore it is risky to import stock
from SO far away as India without
especial provisions for its examination.
Mr A. S. Borden of Pierce. Tex. has
arranged, however. with the Agricul-
tural Department to make large i'm
portation of the immune Indian cat
tie, and has already left for British
India to pick them out. The Depart
