AN APPEAL.
Continued from Page One.)

The President expressed the opinion
that i'll addressing a corn exposition
audience it would be particularly ap
prorriate for him to answer the Criti
ciSm which had been made OF the
agreement as an attack upon the
farmer h% deprving him of protee-

class IS and adverse 10 the farmer.
II am a Republican and the 1tepub-
lican party has always advocated and
pursued a policy of protection to
American products and manufacturers.
For q long time the policy had little
or no limitation. II was thought that
tariffs on protected products could
not be too high, that if all foreign
products were excluded, competition
would stimulate production and reduce
its cost. and its price. The temptation
to destroy competition by combinations
became 50 great, however. that the
party in its platform modified its pol
icy ard imposed I'll" limitation that the
tariff should he limited for purposes of
protection to the difference between
the cost of production in this country
and the cost Of production abroad with
an allowance for Il reasonable profit to
the American producer.
The principle of production thus
stated takes away the justification for
any tariff whatever by way OF protec-
ton. on articles imported from eoun-
try where the conditions as to labor

as in ours and thus makes the cost OF
production substantially the same.
Canada is our neighbor on t'It
north for three thousand miles. Hcl
population is English. Scotch and
French. Her soil is like ours. Her ira
dtions are the same as ours. Her Ian
guage is ours. Her climate is temper
ate like ours, except that her CROWNS
seasons are shorter and she cannot
raise corn in any great quantities. she
has a free popular government with 9
wage earning class as intelligent anI
as we'll raid as ours. 1t is difficult t

that lin respect to corn the America

As to wheat he said the domesti

he turned to neighboring Brookline and
to Zabdiel Boylston. Boylston was
under 40 and was regarded merely as
a rising country doctor, but he was the
man Of the hour. There was no chance
for preliminary experimentation as in
England where convicts were used.
Opposition was met with at every turn,
principally, am ashamed to say, from
the doctors. 1t was truly an amazing
spectacle, the church applauding
science. the faculty crying it down and
Boylston fighting single handed but
with a powerful hacker, the intrepid
Mather.
The doctors called Boylston rash
and INSCRIPTIONS quack. The press,
led by Franklin. shrieked that death
under his treatment was murder, the
mob chased him with halters and
bombs, and the legislature brought in a
bill to prohibit the obnoxious practice.
(Hutchinson's History of Massachu-
sets, Vol. I'D
In June 27, 1921, Boylston fnocu-
lated his 13year-ol son and two ne
gro servants. No earlier date in
American medicine can truly equal it
in Importance, and few dates since.
L might go on ana tell now BOyl-
ston's house was stormed by angry
mobs. How lighted bombs were thrown
through the window into Mathers
room. How lynching was threatened
but time will not permit The things
that we look for today are results, and
these are the results obtained by Boyl-
ston and Cotton Mather in the first
year of their work. There were 2S6
persons inoculated of whom six died,
or one in forty eight, and of those
who died, three of. ten, six had small
poX before incubation. Within the
same period Zone year, $3.50 took the
disease in the natural way, of whom
$40 died. or more than one in I.
Whether or not these figures speak
TO themselves may be a question. At
any rate even this good showing in the
infancy of incubation was bettered by
improved methods, and now, in the
light Of science, good Mr.. Newspaper
men, don't start anything, but after
all, truth at length prevails.

VOX POPULI.
VACCINATION AND
THE DISEASE OF SMALLPOX

Editor Pensacola Journal
My attention has been drawn to the
recent editorials in the News of Sat
urday and Monday, in which the writer
speaks of the head of our health de-
partment as crank on the subject
of vaccination, as being opposed to
fumigation and quarantine Ga state
ment that he will find it hard to make
Pensacolians believe). The whole tone
of his editorial is against vaccination.
although he tries to save his bacon
by the statement that the News be
lieves in vaccination. Now as to the
number of cases of smallpox in ITALIA
hassee at present, 1 have nothing to
say. There may be only one case and
there may be a thousand. But in the
light of our present knowledge, in the
year 1911, and in the fact of the over
whelming statistics in favor Of vacci
ration, l can scarcely believe that the
gentleman who wrote the editorial
would like to put his paper on record
as being opposed to this "crank's"
methods of handling a smallpox cpl
demic.
For this correspondence editors open
and above board method of handling
facts, honor him. To say that a dead
ly disease does not exist. to further the
interest of a few, to keep a few paltry
dollars from being taken out of a COM
munity to subject citizens to a scourge
that they do not know exists in their
community, cannot be too strongly
condemned. This might be termed
murder as a money making act and
should not be countenanced. Other
southern cities have tried it and thou
sands have paid the penalty with their
| lives.
Mumford has said that there is
| something in our race that prompts
us passionately to oppose the man who
comes to remedy great evils. History
| is full of such evidences. Christ was
crucified and the case of Socrates is
not unique.
When Lady Mary Wortley Montague
came from Constantinople in 1921 and
! told in London about the Turkish in
| ocuIatiOn for smallpox the uneducated
people were frightened, the learned
were skeptical and bitter, and the
| clergy prea ched against subverting the
| DEGREES of Providence and resisting the
| Tunishments of God. Then William
| Douglas landed in Boston and brought
! letters Of Introduction to Cotton
! Mather. He also brought him the more
recent scientific literature of the day

A State Board
Of EQUALIZATION Needed.

8 Since the senate has turned down
the proposition to hold a constitutional
convention. it should now turn it's at
tention to the adjustment of our tax
assessment laws.
Pa is probably the most anti
quated state in the Union in the mat
ter OF tax assessments. We have no
system, no plan for equalization, no
method for determining valuations.
Land in one county may be assessed
at $500 per acre and the same kind Of
land just across the line in another
county may show so cents per acre.
A COW in one county may show valu-
alton of $500 and in another the same
kind Of COW will be on the assessment
rolls at $500.
The result of all this is that each
county assessor tries to make his as
sessments lower than those of the as
SCISSOR in the next county because he
does not want his constituents to pay
more for the support of the state gov
eminent than do the taxpayers Of ad-
Joining counties.
The thing most needed to remedy
this condition is a state board of
equalization which will equalize these
assessments. There is no other way
to get at it.
Another reform needed is a measure
that will enable the assessors to get
at the invisible wealth of the state
which now escapes taxation entirely.
If the legislature will not enable us
to get a new constitution, it should
get busy and correct some of the most
fragrant wrongs which are now prac-
ticed under the old one.

Ten Million Dollars
For Good Roads.

The proposition of Representative
Angle to bond the state for $4,000, OO.OO
for the purpose of building good roads,
looks, at first glance, like a pretty
large one. Simmered down, however,
it is not so large after ALL
Ten million dollars will build 400
miles of Yitrined brick road at $4,000
per mile or 500 miles at $4,000 per
mile. 1t is nearly 400 miles from Pen
sacola to Jacksonville so that the
money would do little more than cover
the distance between those two points
The interest on this sum of money
at per cent would amount to $780,
900 per year, only so cents per capita,
or $3.50 per family for the people Of
the state.
The only difficulty about it is that
$40, 900, 100000 is only about one-third
enough to build the main trunk line of
road which it is designed to do.
A system of state roads should in
clude a line along the northern tier of
counties from the Perdido to the At
lantic, another down the east coast
from Fernandina to Miami, another
from a point on the first road between
Tallahassee and Madison down the
west coast through Tampa and on
down to the Caloosahatchee, and still
another across the peninsula connect
ing the east and west coast highways
A work of this magnitude would re-
quire at least 1900 miles of road and
would cost probably $50 700, 100000. Tho
