GOOD BILL DEFEATED.

OOOI) DILL DLE IL n lLlJ'
The state of Arkansas has re-
fused to join the federal govern
ment in the work Of eradicating
the cattle fever tick from the
state. the lower house of the
general assembly having a few
days ago defeated the bill, which
passed the senate, appropriating
$4,000 for the purpose of ex-
tending southwark the quaran-
tine line now maintained against
this pest among cattle.
This action by the legislature
probably means that the work of
eradicating the fever tick in this
part of the state will come to an
end, it not being the policy of
the national government to spend
money for this purpose in terri
tory that will not hear part of
the expense. In other words,
the government will not help
those who will not help them
selves.
Those members Of the lower
house who are responsible for
the defeat of the appropriation to
fight the cattle tick are deserving
the censure Of the people. The
bill was one of the most meritor-
ious measures that has been
brought to the attention of the
legislature. It's passage meant
the accomplishment of work
that would be worth thousands
Of dollars annually to the cattle
growers in the territory now in
tested with the cattle tick, and
the amount asked for in the ap-
preparation for the continuance
of the work Of tick eradication
was q mere bagatelle when COM
pared with the amounts riotously
spent by the legislature for other
purposes not half so deserving.
There is a bushel of money for
appropriations it seems, but not
red cent of it will go back in
beneficial results to the people
on a plain, business proposition,
about which there is no expert
ment.
Some Of the reasons advanced
in opposition to this appropria-
ton would throw a horse into fits
Of laughter. One member didn't
think it was right to make an APP
preparation for one particular
section Of the state that would
not benefit the other parts of the
state. This member it is said is
closely watched at all times TO
prevent his burning himself to
death in tho fire, Another mem
Der called attention to the fact
that the treasury is about de-
pleted. This was quite u happy
thought, but, unfortunately for
the state, it did not strike this
fellow and others earlier in the
session. No doubt If a majority
OF tho legislators could have
foreseen that aching void in the
treasury Of the state early in the
session the general assembly
would have very patriotically
adjourned without an extension.

dude boss" as the cowboys have dubbed
him, is a fine. manly character, to which
the good looks and physique of John
Ince, the company's leading man, will
well adapt him. Nudge, the idol Of the
