RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FARMER.
By John q. Shedd.

In speaking of the farmer there is only one
word to say: He Is the basis Of the structure
to-day, and if he pursues a normal course the
currency furry will soon be smoked out He
has the real tangible and basic wealth; the
world at large wants it and stands ready to
pay good prices for it. If the farmer takes
his profits and does the nasural and normal
thing with them-puts them in his local bank.

LAW INDICATED.

Mr.. Editor-Becaus The Chronicle
isdeeply concerned in all that especially
interests the citizens of Benton County,
and because the subject of tick eradica-
ton is more and more becoming matter
OF serious Importance whether themeas-
ures adapted to that end are approved or
not, and because the public should know
every side, write this missive for The
Chronicle and it's readers
1t has been the contention of some
lawyers and of many cattle owners that
when cattle are moved from a tick.ln-
tected territory under quarantine
whether State, county or farm
without being inspected and without a
written permit from a daily authorized
State or government inspector, then be-
fore the owner can be convicted of any
ofense it must first be clearly proved
that the cattle were actually injected
with fever and that the owner knew it.
THE AsBELL CASE.
AHlS WdS lllC COulCnllOIJ vi AbUtlI VI
Kansas until few days ago, when the
Supreme Court of the United States
handed down decision which ended
his controversy. The facts are simply
these Asbell was indicted and prose-
cuted in Kansas court for taking cattle
into Labette County, Kansas from the
Tndion Eaprifnrx OIy oil
out having them inspected and gettinga
permit. He was convicted before the
trial court and fined $500 and sentenced
to Jail for a term of thirty days. Asbell
appealed to the Supreme Court of Kan
sas, which fully sustained the action Of
the trial court. He then took an appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, to test the consttutionalitv of
the quarantine law, on the ground that
it encroached on the liberty of the citizen
and was an unreasonable restriction on
interstate commerce.
This is the very contention made here
in Tennessee against the quarantine law.
Well the United States Supreme Court
unanimously held that the law was con-
stftntional, and Asbell must pay his fine
of $500 and go to Jail, unless he can Sc
cure pardon.
Thisdecsion is of immenseimporta
in the work Of tick eradication. 1t vim
dictates the right Of Kansas and of Ten
nessee to pass. as they have, severe and
drastic laws on the subject, and to have
these laws and necessary regulations
absolutely obeyed.
The controversy is ended when that
august tribunal, The United States SUI
preme Court, has 81 oxen, as it has in the
Asbel case. Whoever now violates the
quarantine law and regulations does so
with his eyes open and at his Peril.
All this, Mr. Editor, your readers will
wish to know and ought to know, wheth-
er it pleases every one or not. 1t is the
fact the truth and the law. The ticks
which cause yearly loss and waste to
