Or. Julia Seton Seares, president of the
New School of Thought of New York,
Boston and Washington, delivered a lee
ture yesterday afternoon in the Shoreham
Hotel on ''cosmic vibration in which,
she declared. lies the secret of true
health and happiness. The lecture was

tees of the New Thought principles.

Seares said, were the descendants of the
original divine race gifted with health.

she declared. was the most valuable to
the thinkers of mo,1ern days.
This vision is of value everywhere p
stated the doctor. by producing a con-

Would Set Bad Precedent.

1T will start landslide of requests for
Endorsements for every possible office.
The Chamber of Commerce is just begin
ming TO be felt and is just starting to
have some weight. If YOU go on record
as ndorsing men for the commissioner
ship you will have men tagging at your
heels to indorse them for marShalS, re-
corder of deeds, register of wills. justices
and every other Office. You will convert
this business organiZa ton into a political
body and kill it. How can you indorse a
candidate for the commissionership when
nearly every man in the chamber is a re-
puted candidate for one of the places? So
let us nail this proposition fast right now
and keep our skirts clean of politics or
anything like it forever
The greatest political organizations in
the country have gone to pieces on the
rocks of public office. Men who are sore
because they have not been backed for
big jobs get mad and leave one party for
another. As surely the chamber takes
up the indorsing question the chamber
will he split in two"
But note the little point of order--this
time welded by a friend of the Shannon
idea. He said the Washington PROPOSE
tion was too broad; that the members
present Guild not bind the chamber to
keep out of indorsing candidates from
row on until doomsday And the point
stuck fast in the resolution, which d'ed
on the table. Then another point of order
from somewhere in the room, that the
original resolution was away out of order
because 1t was not in accordance with the
constitution of the chamber But Presi-
dent Guide read parts of the constitution
which referred to the chambers part in
public welfare, and the point of order
dropped uselessly to the floor.
Now" said Mr.. Shannon. ARE We go
ing to bring up technicalities all night?
Are we going to fence with points of order
on this important matter? If we are let
us adjourn right now and Immediately
convene and talk about anything we
choose" His fighting spirit drew ap-
plause.
Short and to the Point.

Ruled Out of Order.

No sooner had Mr.. Shannon finished
spea king than Joseph Weller. with his
point of order flashing, declared that the
resolution was out of order, because the
meeting had been called for specific
purpose-that of considering the adfisa-
bility of recommending candidates. There
a roar Of app ause from the ranks of
the antagonists to Mr. Shannon's ideas,
and many an attempted speech. Finally
the chair ruled the resolution out of or
der.
'.All right" said Mr. Shannon. there's
another, and he entered a resolution
asking the chamber to indorse six men,
from which the President could select
two if he chose.
THE President wants to hear from us.
gentlemen" he said. land it is better
that the Chamber of Commerce, COM
posed of the best men in the city, should
take a, hand in this matter than to leave
it to the whisperers at the White House."
The enemy's favorite weapon, the point
of order, was again unsheathed. This time
it was in the hands of Francis Scott Key
Smith, who made brilliant thrust. which
was skillfully parted, and he retired with
the resolution still in order. There was
much speechmaking and clever debate
on this motion of Mr.. Shannon. but the
heaviest blow i'm the skirmiSh at this
juncture was delivered by George Y.
Worthington.
He asked the chamber to keep out of
indorsing candidates for District posi-
tons. from meat inspectors up to judges
of the Supreme Court of the District, now
and forevermore.
He said the Chamber of Commerce is
a trade organization that has no bust
ness in political calcuses or anything re-
sembling them and that to enter that
field would be suicidal act. He said
that the Endorsements by the chamber
would cause heartburnings. jealousy and
strife. would split the organization into so
mn flf IONS ri,.at
founding would be destroyed.
Following him. Charles Darr seconded
the resolution that the chamber should
remain out of the Endorsement field for
ever and ever

II has been Alabama's misfortune
that its people have failed to avail
themselves OF it's splendid natural re-
sources for raising cattle. The State
has unnumbered miles OF wiregrass
land. excellent for grazing in south,
east and west Alabama. Its great
stretch OF prairies are said to be the
finest grass lands in the South.
But cattle raising as an industry has
been under heavy handicap. That
handicap has been stick fever" Now,
the State has gons to work to remove
this obstacle and the people. in the
past ten years have begun to regard
stock raising. earnestly and seriously.
as an agricultural opportunity. The
county Of Montgomery. especially, has
shown a revived and energetic inter-
est in stock raising.
The second annual report of the STATE
Veterinarian. DR.. c. A. Cary, has just
been fled with the Governor and
draws attention to the work that he
and his associates throughout Ala
barna have done towards tick eradica.
ton and toward the establishment OF
cattle raising as a permanent agri-
cultural endeavor in this State. Ala
bama now has an effective working
law. which is slowly but surely con-
tributing to the States Industrial well
fare.
In his report DR.. Cary explains some
of the difficulties. under whcih he and
associates labored in putting into eff
feet the new law. Naturally. he re-
CARDS the work Of great Importance.
as he says 1.-THE annual loss produced
directly and indirectly, by cattle ticks
In Alabama is 100000. The earlier
each county becomes free of ticks, the
sooner the loss In that is prevented"
The report contains the significant
statement that in Montgomery county
seventy-five per cant. of the premises
were cleaned Of ticks. The work. the
report states. was more effective in
this county because there were more
inspectors and because conditions were
more favorable in good pastures and
good roads.
The work is being done by coop
GRAFTON OF the State and Federal au-
thorities. But 1t depends upon aid and
cooperation from each county as well.
Hereafter the State and Federal au-
thorities will only go into those coun-
ties which will help in the work. The
work is considered a distinct advant-
age to each county.
DR.. Cary declares, 'Tf a county can
invest from $500 to $4,000 year and
thus secure two to four times as much
help from the State and government,
and at the same time prevent a loss
of many thousands Of dollars to the
farmers of the county. 1t will pay as
a profitable investment
