enabling President Wilson to possess
the combined opinion of the most ex-

time came to act he could act promptly
and surely, as he Is doing.
Likewise the President knows def
nitely what the resources OF the
try are. When he shut himself up in
his private study face TO face with
the most critical situation that has
arisen for fifty years II was not with
out full knowledge Of the possibilities
involved.
Whether he intended to stay there

documents all night long and until
Saturday morning came Is not re-
vealed. But he did not stay up all of
that Friday night. nor ali of any other
night-because DR.. Grayson was IN
duty Just as truly as was the Presi-
dent. And he saw TO II tina. President
Wilson realized the importance of
avoiding physical overstrain by going
to bed at his usual time, somewhere
between half past 10 and II. The
President could get up at daylight II
he desired, as early in the morning as
he chose. and again grasp afresh his
momrntous task; and he did so during
the days whom he was framing the
note 10 Germany. But for the sake Of
the country, as well as for his own
sake, he must go TO bed at an early
hour. And this he did also.
Once or twice during the six days
following the Lusitania sinking the
President took n breath OF fresh air

he went 10 Philadelphia to deliver an
address; several times he was pre-

TICKS HND KICKS.

A few days ago mass meeting was
held in an adjoining parish at which the
subject Of cattle dipping was discussed.
Reports from this meeting are to the effect
that much Incorporate language was used
and that open war was declared against the
officials who were responsible for the adopt
ion of the ordinance providing for tick Grad
ication.
Madison, having eradicated the tick
and now being in full enjoyment of the
benefits that have resulted therefrom, feels
considerable interest in the controversy that
is being waged in a neighboring parish.
This interest is due in some measure to self
ishness on account of the fact that cattle
from the adjoining parish to a large extent
roam from one parish to the other and
therefore increase the danger Of re-infect-
ing this parish.
There were few Madison citizens who
were at first opposed to the dipping system,
but such citizens have come to an apprecia-
ton Of the value of the scheme and as a
rule they are now the strongest supporters
of the efforts of the officers.
The point we wish to make is that the
officers who have this matter in charge in
other parishes should ignore the kick Of the
indictments and should carry to a conclusion
the scheme Of tick eradication. No public
servant should fear the result Of his active
support of the scheme; for the time will
come when the kicker will be ashamed to
admit that he ever attended an anticipating
meeting. Such has been the history Of the
war against tick eradication in Madison and
history will repeat itself IN every parish
where the law is made operative.
Tick eradication will make prosperous,
wholesome citizen out of the worst kind of
socialist. The accomplishment of such a
remarkable result should satisfy the am
bition of any oficil-holder. Let the good
work proceed, kicks and threats to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
