MORE ABOUT THE DOG LAW.

Editor News: In last weeks issue
"Uncle Gid" jumps with both feet on
any and all parties who favor the pres
ent dog law, when in fact, it is the
best measure that has ever been placed
on the statute books of Tennessee that
in any way seeks to rid the country of
the common, worthless cur which is
the most, and really the only dreaded
enemy of one Of our most profitable
and important industries, the raising
of sheep. Any farmer or stock man
will tell you that there is good money
in raising sheep, but at the same time
he will tell you that he can raise them
on account of the sheep killing dog.
Half the time he cannot find out
whose dog killed his sheep and if he
does the owner usually claims that
there is a mistake, it wasn't his dog,
or if there is no possible chance for a
doubt, he is seldom willing to pay any
damages
If a man owns female dog that is
worth loaf of bread he will not com
plain at paying the small amount OF
the tax. 1t is the man who always has
a lot of worthless dogs around him that
are not worth killing, to say nothing
of the tax, that are doing the kicking
and cavorting about the dog law.
Unlike Uncle Gid'' says it does not
make criminals of anyone any more
than the law requiring him to pay tax
es on his land, Or privilege license be-
fore selling merchandise, There are
thousands of female dogs in the state
on which their owners will not pay
taxes, These dogs will be killed and
thereby stop the increase of many
thousands of dogs per annum. This
will give many poor children several
bites of bread, which otherwise the
dogs would get, and at the same time
reduce the number of sheep killing
dogs.
Now. don't know who 'Uncle

ten to one that If you will go to his

will cost less to feed them and they

one is more partial toward a good dos
than am, but in the name of com
mon sense, do away with the worth

Could we have the present law en-
forced it would be only few year
until the worthless class would be ;
thing of the past, and we would hav,

same time, would not be curse t,

haustion Of our labor power. It
means plucking the apple Of labor
before it is ripe. The so-called pros
perity obtained by it is Dead Sea
fruit. Health, intelligence, manhood,
and womanhood are nations chief
asset, and woe be to us if we sacri-
fee them for profits.
These, then, are some Of the re-
suits of modern industry as it is
carried on today. They are sufficient
to show its lack Of conformity to
the principles of the Kingdom Of
God. The gradual displacement by
these principles of those now in op-
GRAFTON means the progressive .reor-
ganization of industry upon the ba-
sis Of welfare. Now think Of an
army Of men organized and discip-
lined, every man in his place, drilled
and equipped to fill that place, all
animated and inspired by love of
country and the hope of victory, their
motto, "All for each and each for
ALL" and Of the irresistible force
with which such an army moves
against an obstacle, and you have a
mental conception Of what industry
ought to be, and what it would be
under the full operation of the prin-
ciples of the Kingdom of God.

Jim ALECK" ON LAMAR.

In letter to the Jacksonville Me-
tropolis ''Jeems" Alexander, Of De-
Land, pays Congressman Lamar the
following tribute which will be read
with pleasure by his many friends
over the state:
This distinguished gentleman has
well maintained the honored name
which he bears-and every citizen of
Florida who has the interests of the
state and her people at heart should
justly feel pride In the record he
has made In Congress, not only for
himself and the Third Congressional
District, which he has the honor to
represent, but for the entire state Of
Florida. When Texas was a republic
the name of Lamar was the greatest
and grandest among the statesmen
and soldiers-all Texans are proud of
their historic past-and no name
shines more brightly on the pages of
her history than Mirabeau Bonaparts
Lamar. As a personal friend and
political supporter Of Congressman
w. B. Lamar, ask, Mr.. Editor, lit
tie space in your widely circulated
paper, that may give my views in
my plain and humble way, why Bill
Lamar-as his friends love to call
him-should be returned to Congress.
On the 23d of last February 1 re-
ceived a letter from the venerable
Col. A. S. Colyar, of Nashville, Tenn,
in which he said:
Have you read the great speech
Of William B. Lamar, Of your state,
in the houseq It is a grand speech
and shows great labor. Write me
about him.
The speech referred to was on rate
bill in Congress. This is the great
est compliment ever paid q represen-
tative in Congress from this state in
my humble opinion coming from
such q man as Colonel Colyar. If /
were writing for a paper in my native
state Of Tennessee it would be use
less for me to speak Of Colonel Col
var, for his name and his fame are
well known to all Tennesseeans.
As the masses of the people Of Flor
ida are not acquainted with the great
men Of Tennessee, will speak very
briefly Of Colonel Colyar in order

scale with the above distinguished
gentlemen, when they were serving
their first term in the house, and
Colonel Colyar's letter proves that
I am justified in paying this just and
deserved tribute to my friend-Bill
Lamar.
No man has ever questioned Bill
Lamar's honesty or integrity as q
man, and no one can question his
ability and fidelity as a public SER
want. He is true to his friends and
kind, courteous and generous to all.
He has always shown good sense
and excellent judgment in all Of his
undertakings. Among the best things
he ever did and the best judgment he
ever displayed was when he selected
q life partner, and in doing so he
honored his people and his state. Like
Grover Cleveland, in this respect, he
made wise and judicious selection

Lamar is the most popular and ac-
complished lady that graces the ma
tional capital since the days Of Mrs.
Cleveland. have no unkind word for
Bill Lamar's opponents, j. W. Kehoe,
j. F. c. Griggs and Mr.. Stephens. /
don't know Mr.. Stephens, but under
stand that he is clean fellow. 1
know Kehoe and Griggs well and like
them both, personally; but in the Ian
guage Of Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, 'The people would be lot
Of fools to swap horses at this time,"
and don't think they are, especial
ly in the Third District. If the peo-
pie Of the Third District will just
wait awhile the people of the state
will place Lamar where he belongs,
viz, in the United States senate.
Mark Hanna was right when he
said, "Let well enough alone" and
I believe that~the good. people of the
Third Congressional District will let
Lamar alone and leave him in con-
gress. His retirement at this time
would be a great loss to Florida.

know who he really is and how Bill
Lamar stands with the great men of
other states and the nation. Col. A.
S. Colyar is one Of the most distin-
guished men Tennessee ever pro-
duced. He is now in his Both year.
A great lawyer, editor, statesman
and author, owing to his adj
vanced years, he is not physically
strong, but his mental faculties are
as bright and vigorous as ever. He
wrote the "Life and Times of An
drew Jackson" the only true and
correct history of General Jackson,
and the best biography I ever read
Of any man. Every citizen of Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama,
North and South Carolina, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and Florida should
read this interesting and valuable
publication, as the people from these
states were with General Jackson and
won for him his great battles and
fame.
Distinguished Ancestry.
As Florida is cosmopolitan state,
and we have people from every state
in the Union as well as from foreign
countries, l hope, Mr.. Editor, you
will pardon me for giving a brief
history of the ancestors of my dis
tinguished friend, Congressman W. B.
Lamar, before speaking of him and
his record in congress. The great
state Of Georgia is the birthplace
Of this noted and distinguished fam
ily-Henry G.. Lamar was repre-
sentative to congress from Georgia
from 1929 to 1888. In 1880,
Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar,
the elder, was elected judge Of the
Superior Court of Georgia. Nearly
every one of the present day is ia
miliar with the services and career
Of the late L. @. c. Lamar, Of Missis-
sippi, who was a representative in
COuSI6SS1 dlIu Ou1Gcu OGdGCS oCudIO1
from that state, and was also secre-
tary Of the interior in President
Cleveland's first cabinet, and at the
time Of his death was an associate
justice Of the Supreme Court of the,
United States. He was an uncle
our present Congressman W. B. La
mar, and was fourtimes elected to
congress before entering the United
States senate.
His Greatest Fame.
It was in the senate that he ae-
quired his greatest fame and repu-
tation as a statesman and orator. His
distinguished nephew, w. B. Lamar,
of Florida, will likely follow In his
wake except the nephew has made
national reputation during his first
term in congress. / am familiar with
the records of our distinguished men
in congress, and 1 make this asser-
tion, which cannot truthfully be dis
puted, that w. 8. Lamar is The only
man who ever made a national repu-
tation during his first term In con-

qualities are incapable OF resorting
to the tricks Of trade necessary to
success. There are women, too,
forced by the Implying hand Of
dire necessity to enter industrial
callings, but who lack the strength or
cunning successfully to compete.
There are at least 100000 women in
the gainful occupations of this coun-
some Of them under conditions
injurious physically, mentally, and
morally. The highest courts of some
of our states declare that a law linn
iting the hours Of labor for these
women is unconstitutional. 1t may
be so, but If it is, so much the worse
for the state. The state or the
nation that permits its women to
stunt their bodies and dwarf their
minds by over-exertion in insanitary
stores and mills and factories is
thereby signing it's own death war
rant. For the degeneracy Of women
is the degeneracy Of the race. A ma
ton cannot rise higher than its wo-
men. A people can never be any
better than its mothers.
Finally, there are, among the hind
most, children Of tender years, driven
by the necessities or cupidity Of
parents, or enticed by the greed Of
employers, to enter the industrial
race, from which they are carried
manned and bleeding, or left hope
lessly behind to drag out miserable
existence. One million, seven hundred
and fifty thousand children are en-
ployed in the industries Of this land.
Sixteen states and territories, in
cluding the District of Columbia,
have no minimum age limit for their
employment in factories; twenty-one
none for their employment in mines.
Not less than $4,000 children, most
of whom are little girls, are at pres
ent employed in our textile mills.
About twenty-five thousand children
are now working in the cotton mills
Of the various Southern States, some
times for twelve hours a day, and
the number is yearly increasing. Some
Of these children are but Ave and six
years Of age. Nor is the South alone
to blame. One hundred and twenty
thousand children are in the mines,
mills, and factories and before the
furnaces Of Pennsylvania. What is
the excuse for this? We are told
that it is the severity Of industrial
competition. Without child labor,
employers say they cannot compete.
But, whatever they say, we know
that the sacrifice of children to the
industrial prosperity of country
is criminal brutality exceeding that
Of the ancient Ammonites, who sacri-
feed their children to Moloch in the
valley of Tophet, for they obeyed n
religious impulse, and our only ex-
cuse is the ignorance and cupidity of
parents and the greed Of employers.

What is the difference between a
butterfly and a balloon? Not 80 much
as we might think. Prof. G. H. Bry-
an of the University College of North
Wales says they are about equal IN
eHciency. They both can make
headway in the still air. II it were
not for the wind we might have aerial
regattas with boats suspended from
balloons using wings instead Of oars.
A pigeon descending shows the
great work OF the wings IN resisting
the downward and forward movement
of the body, and this is difHcult to
initiate in machine flight. Gulls are

where to so to get a lift from the
