TICK ERADICATION WORK.
Farmers Should See That Il Goes on
Without Interruption. 70


washington, March 16.-Increased
activity in the work Of eradicating the
cattle tick may be expected to follow
the revision Of the quarantine regula-
tions just announced by the United
State department Of agriculture. This
is the opinion expressed today by Pres
ident Finley Of the Southern. Railway
company, who said:
'"The provision that cattle may be
shipped from the quarantined area
under the certificate Of an inspector
Of the bureau Of animal industry that
they have been dipped twice within an
interval Of from five to ten days, In an
arsenical solution or otherwise treat
ed in a manner satisfactory to the sec
retary of agriculture and under the
supervision Of an inspector and that
they are free from infection, will
greatly encourage farmers to get the
ticks out of their herds. 1t will en-
able the individual farmer to benefit
from his work before the locality In
which he lives is entirely released
from quarantine. The revised regula-
tions indicate a desire Of the depart
ment of agriculture to remove restrtc-
tions ON the movement Of cattle from
the quarantined area so far as 1t may
safely be done.
simultaneously with the assurance
Of the more liberal regulations, the de-
partment has revised the quarantine
line, releasing large areas In the re-
gions where systematic work against
the tick has been carried on, and max
Ing the total area released since 1905
more than $4,000 square miles. Work
against the tick Is especially active In
Mississippi, where at the close or the
year 1912 there were 2,181 dipping
vats in operation. In one county In
that state there were 1876 watts. Simi-
lar activity throughout the entire
quarantined area would make the
complete destruction Of the tick only
the matter Of very few years"

Redfieids Available Tariff views--
william G. Redfield, the new secretary
of commerce in President Wilson's
cabinet. delivered an address at Mont
clair, N. J., last Sunday, on the tarin
on its human side, as part OF q iocai
church course on problems or the oay.
Mr.. Redfield said in part:
Believing, as do, In real, thougn
moderate and balanced reduction OF
the tariff, believe In 1t cnieny pc
cause II means the birth OF ne"
moral and mental life to our indus-
tries. The tariff has tended to destroy
our belief In our power, to diminish
our Industrial self-respect. SO look,
when the necessary readJustments are
over, for the blood Of a new life to be
poured into the veins OF American In
dustry. I look for the recognition py
the master Of true values In the men,
for q larger faith In our own brains,
for an increase Of our courage, for an
abolition Of much that divides and for
the coming Of much that shall unite.
I'VE must learn to appreciate that
the man in the shop Is the most valu-
able thing in It; that In order to be
most productive the conditions which
make for his best conservation must be
produced and maintained. It will be
no harm to the nation II abnormal
profits are cut down. Public opinion
will not tolerate maintaining them at
the cost of those who toll.

The Presidents saIary-The ques-

The Presidents Salary-The ques-
ton as to the salary which Is received
by a president Of the United States Is
one Of which there Is always talk ev-
cry four years, and along with this is
the question Of the amount Of salary
which has been received by various
presidents since the formation Of the
United States.
The Norfolk Virginian Pilot has
lately received letter making inquiry
as to the figures Of the salary, and II
has taken the opportunity to 90 some
historical researching. What 1t says
Is this:
General Washington upon his cleo
ton to the presidency, notified his fel-
low citizens that he desired no salary.
But the constitution having declared
that the president should receive COM
pensation for his services, the first
congress promptly took up that COM
pensation. The limits then suggested
ranged from $4,000 to $4,000 and
the salary was finally placed at $685.
O00. This was the amount received
by George Washington, and 1t remain
ed the compensation until President
Grants second term March, 1879,
when 1t was increased to $4,000. In
1907 congress passed an act approx
ing $4,000 for travelling expenses of
the president Of the United States, to
be expended at his discretion and ac-
counted for by his discretion solely.
This was, of course, in addition to the
regular salary Of $4,000. At the sec
ond session Of the sixtieth congress
(19O8-1909) the question of increas-
ing the presidents salary was again
considered, and 1t was decided that
the compensation should be fixed at
$4,000 a year. This was the amount
drawn by President Taft, and 1t Will
also be the salary Of President Will
son."

Marital Condition.

In the population Is years Of age

The per centage married Is 59.7 for

spectively. Although the law granting
divorces in South Carolina was re-
pealed In 1878. the number reported in
1910 as divorced is believed to be too
a number Of divorced persons class
themselves as single or widowed.
That the per centage Is smaller for
women than for men is due largely to
the fact that women marry younger.
Thus ia per cent Of the females from
IL to 10 years Of age are married, as
compared with 81 per cent Of the
males, and 60.5 per cent Of the females
from 20 to "a years are married, as
compared with 41.6 per cent Of the
males. In the next age group, 25 to
"a years, the difference largely disap-
pears, and among those In the next
two age groups the per centage mar
ried Is higher among the males. That
there Is a larger proportion Of widows
than Of widowers may indicate that
men more often re-marry than women,

"The New Isaiah."-That venerable
prophet Of the plain people, Benjamin
Tillman, sitting on the mountain side
and looking over the rich plain, sees
the rustling in the grain where 1t Is
as II a rough wind beat down the
stalks, and, seeing, he sings:
"The wild asses Of the desert are a.
thirst and hungry. They have broken
into the green corn"
BENJAMIN, seeing and singing, thinks
he reads the words-"1've forgotten
whether in jeremiah, Isaiah or In the
Psalms. It fits the case exactly"
BENJAMIN is his own Isaiah, sitting
In the mantle of a prophet and sing
ing as such, as he observes the Jeffer-
sonians in the grain. The mood OF
the prophets Is upon him, his vision
Is theirs, and although he does not
take their words, he has their spirit.
"And the wild asses did stand In the
high places; they snuffed up the wind
like dragons; their eyes did fall be-
cause there was no grass"
Doth the wild ass bray when he
hath grass? or loweth the OK over
his fodder?"
"Who hath sent out the wild ass
free? or who hath loosed the bands OF
the wild ass?"
"Behold, as wild asses in the desert
90 they forth to their work; rising
betimes for a prey: the wilderness
yielded food for them and for their
children"
To these and other words Of the old
er prophets Benjamin, observing the
Jeffersonians, adds his own.-Chicago

Rich Few Act AZ Taskmasters to the

The long, hard, bitter battle that all
must fight who go up against organ
lied wealth In struggle to help the
poor and the oppressed-this fact Is
again emphasized by the shameful
death of FRANCISCO Madero, sometime
president Of the republic (?) Of Mexi-

Long, long ago In glorious Rome, q
noble hearted Roman. q young man OF
great wealth and proud family name,
saw that Rome's greatness was threat
ened by q land-monopoly, or the con-
troll Of the land, at least by q small
per centage Of the people. He saw
the small farms disappearing, great
plantations, owned by absentee land
owners, driving out the independent
land owners (who are always and ev-
erywhere the hope Of every state); and
Tiberius Gracious, as the historian
points out, struck at the root OF the
economic, moral and political decay OF
Italy by trying to rebuild the yeoman
class, the small farmer class. He
proposed to limit The size Of estates
and let out the surplus land to small
fully carried out, would have saved the
empire. But the organized wealth Of
Rome rose up against him, and Tibe-
rius Gracious, though he gained Of
fee, was slain by mob in the streets
of the capital before he was thirty
years old. His brother, who attempted
somewhat less nobly to carry out his
high purpose, was killed, too, before
his work could be finished; and the
Roman senate sought to end their
ideas by forbidding men to speak of
the dead Gracchi. 49,. g4,}
Francisco Madero Of Mexico. was
also a scion Of noble house, the lord
of gree. estItes, but like the ancient
brothers Gracious Of Rome, he saw
his country dying Of the same cancer
GUS growth that ruined that empire;
he saw Mexico, too, becoming land
where wealth accumulates and men
decay" He, too, proposed to break up
the great estates and help the poor
peasants become independent home
owners, and though he may have lack
ed the statesmanship to carry out his
vast plans, 1t was because he had
aroused the nation to the evil, that the
wealth Of Mexico hated him and thirst
ed like tiger for his blood. Because
he did not act quickly enough, they
told the poor, ignorant people whom
he yearned to help, that he had be-
trayed them; and in s0-called reyo-
luton, which was not unlikely delib-
crate plot against his policy, Francisco
Madero was shot down like q dog by
cowardly agents Of the men his mercy
had unwisely spared.-Clarence Poe In

The census bureau classlfies as IL
literate any person 10 years of age or
over who Is unable to write, regardless
Of ability to read.
There are 276,9S0 illiterates in the
state, representing 25.7 per cent Of the
total population 10 years Of age and
over, as compared with 35.9 per cent
in 1900. The per centage Of illiteracy
is 1877 among negroes, 1913 among
native whites, and 6.S among foreign
born whites. 1t Is 10.5 for native
whites Of native parentage and IA for
native whites of foreign or mixed par
entage.
Illiterates are relatively fewer in
urban than in rural communities, the
per centages being 1916 and 27.7, re-
spectively. The rural per centage ex-
ceeds the urban for each class Of the
population except the foreign-born
whites, most Of whom arrive in this
country when past the school age.
Among them the per centage Of I'LL
teracy is slightly higher in the urban
population than in the rural.
For persons from 10 to 20 years Of
age, inclusive, whose llteracy depends
largely upon present school facilities
and school attendance, the per centage
Of illiteracy Is 1911.

May we have the grace to rejoice in
the flow of life as it moves through
