between Selig Bey, Turkish minister OF

for the purchase of powerful warship
had reached an advanced stage.
1t was pointed out that the delivery of

ing tile present hostilities would be clear
ly in violation of international law. On
the other hand, the United States might
be brought into the international tangle
since the only formidable warships which
Argentina could put on the market are
two Dreadnoughts now under construe-
ton in American shipyards. These are
the Moreno and the Rividavia Although
the prospective sale could be consummat-
ed. the warship would not be delivered

ENDORSE FIGHT
 ON CATTLE TICK
A Georgia Man Hopes to Have an In- creased Appropriation for
 Campaign

Atlanta. June 2.--(Special.) al.)-The Cotton Seed Crushers' association of Georgia. which held it's annual convention at At lantic Beach, Fla, this week, gave hearty indorsement to the campaign which is to be waged in Georgia and throughout the south to eradicate the cattle tick, with a view to increasing the live stock industry.
 At this meeting F. w. Mckee of Atlanta was elected president and he will get ac- lively behind the campaign which will en- deavor to have the state increase its an- nal appropriation to $20,0O0 for state and county work along this line and to get .he federal government to increase its annual appropriation from a quarter to a million dollars per annum.
 It is estimated that 1t will require 20 years to entirely eradicate the cattle tick from Georgia, but when it Is considered that Georgia's loss due to cattle tick is over S5.000,000 annually, just what this eradication means to the state can best be appreciated.
 The press of the state has already given hearty indorsement to this work, which is being conducted by Dr. E. M. Nigh bert with various state and county off, cials and it is believed that the approprl- ations desired will be secured.
 It is pointed out that this is one of the greatest hindrances to the cattle raising industry in the south, and Georgia, which Is progressing so splendidly along all lines of agriculture is taking the lead in this particular line of endeavor.
 A number of counties in the state have already been freed from the cattle tick, which has proven conclusively that this work can be accomplished when the fed eral. state and county cooperation is af forded.
 A number of cotton oil mills have all ready put in dipping vats. which Is one Of the favorite methods of freeing cattle of ticks.

From the New York sun.
 Because a bartender in a Broadway sa- loon near Fifty-ninth street refused him a drink Dr. William J. Ivory, Of Al West Forty seventh street, started to enforce the excise law. He himself admits the facts freely.
 Going out of the saloon, he met two men-William Shield, 27 years old, of 1S1 West Sixty-third street. and Thomas Kane. aged 1S, of 135 West Sxty-fourth street. Feeling a greenback from lus- cious-loolSing roll, he urged them to go into the saloon and buy drink. It would be good evidence.
 It wasn't many minutes before Police man Potter, of the West Sxty-eighth street station. saw the two men running along Broadway near Sixteth street.
 At Sixty-sixth street and Columbus ave- nue he overhauled the sprinters and, with Policeman Olsen. who came up placed the

Popular Elections, Pure Democracy
 and Equal Suffrage

I favor wherever feasvle the popular election of all public officials including United States senators, federal judges and postmasters, and indorse the princi- pie involved in the proposition to adopt into our form of government what Is known as the initiative, referendum and recall"
 The initiative" and the referendum" have been tried with success, and I see no good reason why, wherever practica- ble by virtue of the size of the civil unit, the people should not. if they so desire have the power directly to withdraw any position that they may have conferred We must not overlook the fact that pub lie officials are public servants
 The official who would fail to perform A duty through fear of losing his position would under other conditions fail to do his duty through hope of retaining it. The courage or cowardice. the efficiency or inefficiency, the honesty or dishonesty of a public servant depends. aside from training and character, upon the nature of the influences which he seeks to serve and upon which he relies for election and retention When those influences are the people themselves. rather than special in- terests, the country Is safe.
 In this connection might say. also, that I am in sympathy with the propo- sition to extend the privileges of the bal lot to women. Since women are required to pay taxes and obey the laws, they should have a voice in the levying of the taxes and in the enactment and execution of ths laws Besides. the granting of the ballot to women would tend to purify elections and elevate our political ideals and standards
