The ssUnbridIed Lfcense,' OF the Press

| n the campaign which the Knights of Col
umbus have inaugurated against the free
dom of the press, they are trying to conceal
their designs by saying that their war is not
against the freedom, but against the s'un-
bridled license of the press.
Those Romanist editors who are defending
Senator d. u. Fletcher's outrageous Washing
ton trade take the same line.
They are not opposed to liberty of the press.
O no!
What they oppose is, the ''unbridled license"
of the press.
Please excuse me while L caczle
The ta0O terms mean esractly the same thing.
Unbrdled license to print, means the fullest
liberty to print.
1t is so in law, and it is explained in his
tory.

supreme and when books were almost lost to
the European world, no book could be pub

To obtain such license, several priests in

have to abandon the effort to draw a distinc-
ton between license and freedom.
The distinction does not exist.
The unbridled horse, means the free horse
To put a bride on the press, is something
which the Constitution says that Congress
shall not do.
These Romanists are making war upon the
Constitution of the United States, when they
seek to put any sort of restraint upon the lib
erty Of the press
Our laws provide punishment for those who
abuse this freedom of the press, by libelling
either the living or the dead.
Those laws afford the amplest protection
to every citizen and to every corporation, lay
or ecclesiastical.
What the Roman Catholics are trying to do
is, to prevent the publication in this country

None whatever. The FrencIman is a gay,

What have these Germans to gain by eav-

In what way was France threatening the
existence of Germany?
The French Government had several times

egomaniac, William Hohenzollern.
France could not always back down. with

many and Austria, the poor fellows have 10
option.
They have to go and shoot one another. in
a quarrel that does not concern them in the
least.
In a sense, the same thing may be said of
the other suffering countries: the people have
no concern IN the war, and nothing to gain
by it.
The pretense that either Germany or Eng
land is Fighting for existence" is all sham.
Was England fighting for existence when
she gobbled Egypt, and the Boer Republics,
and the Indian Empire?
Was Germany fighting for existence, when
she sprang upon little Denmark and tore away
from her the two provinces Of Schleswig and
Holstein? Or when she sprang upon France,
and ripped off the provinces of Alsace and
Lorraine?
At the beginning, the only nation which had
the right to say that she was fighting for ex-
1stence, was Seryia; and the fact that all the
big nations seem to have let Servia alone,
proves that Seryla was merely the spark
which fired the powder house.
The moment SerVia declared she would not
yield further to the Jesuit demands of Austria
and the Italian Pope, Germany 8p1unq on
France.
Germany has not bothered Servia, at all.
Everything that has cropped out goes to
show, that Germany had long intended to at
tack France, that she had long prepared for
1t, and had not only covered France with the
completest Of spy systems, but had actually
bought up old stone quarrles, and had shaped
them into perfect readiness for big guns

As has already been said, 253, 2S8

Within fifteen years, if the same
rate of progress is maintained, the
entire country should be free and

there is every reason to believe
that as the evidence against the

more and more rapid. 1t can not
be too rapid for the good of the
entire country.

comparison of average weights OF
beef cattle may be interesting.
In Florida, on January /, 1918,
1t was $40 pounds; in Wyoming,
9S5; in Idaho, 966; in Montana,
938. In Mississippi it was $50; in
Alabama, 500; in Louisiana, All, in
Georgia, 419. Outside of the tick
country, Connecticut was the one
State to fall below 600 pounds.
There are, of course, other fac
tors than the tick in the raising of
beef in the South, but in view OF
these figures, it is hard to escape
from the conclusion that wherever
the tick is, there the value of cat
tie is low.
1t follows, also, that the farmer
makes little effort to develope
this source of proft-or what
would be source of profit under
other circumstances. Not only
does he himself suffer financially
in consequence-directly from
loss of income, and indirectly
through loss of soil fertility-but
the whole country suffers from an
inadequate meat supply.
For this reason, the Federal
government is as vitality interest
ed in the work of tick eradication,
as it is in the suppression of hog
cholera and the prevention of tu-
berculosis. Throughout the tick
infested territory, wherever the
people have voted to free them
selves from the tax the pest levies

State in which the price was Delo"
$40. In North Carolina, SCUM
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, LOUIS
ana, and Arkansas,-all more or
less tick-infested-the average
price was below $50.
Such differences are too strlk-
ing to be ignored. They repre-
sent an annual loss to the farmers
of the South of millions oil dollars
The Georgia farmer may expect
to receive $18 for his beef animal,
the Ohio farmer $50, Kentucky,

For the ten tick-infested states,
North and South Carolina, GeOr-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
and Texas, the general average IS
$3.50; for the remainder Of the
country it is $48.47. In consider
ing these figures it must be borne
in mind that many of the States
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-07-22

in the tick country have succeed
ed in freeing large areas from the
pest. Otherwise, the difference in
values undoubtedly would be
much greater. A great deal of
North and South Carolina, for in
stance, is as free from ticks as
Ohio or Indiana, Oklahoma also
has grappled so vigorously with
the pest and has cleaned so much
of it's territory that the average
value for cattle has risen to $42 a
head. In Florida, on the other
hand, where no systematic work
has as yet been done, the average
is $18.
One reason for the low average
value of Southern cattle is I'M
ouestionably the disastrous effect
of the tick upon all attempts to
improve the breed. Pure-bred
stock imported for breeding pur-
poses are exposed to such danger
of death from tick fever that it is
not sound business to incur the
risk. Producers are, therefore,
compelled to do the best they can
with the native cattle, which have
acquired a certain degree of i'm
munity. That there is no profit
in scrubs is an old cattle raiser's
maxim and in this connection q

TICKY CATTLE BRING LOW
PRICES
Great Difference Between Aver
age Values In Tick-Infested and
Tick-Free Sections.

Washington, D. C.-After an
eight months fight, the fOOt-and-
mouth disease has been practical
ly stamped out and the danger of
another great destructive animal
plague averted. For this the
country has reason to be thankful,
for American live stock already
suffers from diseases to an extent
of which few persons are fully a.
ware. Hog cholera, tuberculosis,
and the cattle tick cause an an
nual loss to the country which
reaches so high into the millions
of dollars that it is almost impos-
sible even for trained statisticians
TO estimate it. The direct loss in
deaths can be computed with rea-
sonable accuracy but the indirect
losses which agriculture in all its
branches suffers whenever and
wherever there is a scarcity of
stock cannot be reckoned at all.
Hog cholera and tuberculosis
prevail throughout the country
cattle ticks are confined to one
section-the South. Hog cholera
and tuberculosis present problems
which science has not yet thor
oughly solved; cattle ticks already
have been eliminated in an area of
more than 253,2SS square miles
and can be eliminated in the rest
of the infested territory whenever
the people really determine to rid
themselves of the pest.
1t is no secret that the amount
of live stock in the country by no
means has kept pace with the
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-07-22

growth of population. For many
years it actually decreased, and
although the official figures for
January l, 1915, show a slight in
crease over the corresponding
ones for 1914, this increase is far
from proportionate to that in pop
ulation. The price of meat has
risen steadily and the future of
the country's supply has become a
matter of grave concern.
Greater production of live stock
upon the farms undoubtedly
would go far toward solving the
problem, This is especially true
of the South. In AN estimate
quoted recently by the Secretary
of Agriculture, it was stated that
the average farm home in Georgia
produced less than one-twelfth of
a beef in the course Of a year for
each person on it. Instead of
producing beef to sell to the rest
of the country, the South imports
much of what it consumes.
For this condition Of affairs
specialists hold two things re-
sponsible-cotton and ticks, The
danger in a one-crop system of
agriculture has now been made APP
parent and there are many farm
ers who would gladly abandon it
if some substitute were available.
But in any sound system of agri-
culture live stock is indispensable,
and while the cattle tick fiourishes
the production of cattle is not an
inviting prospect. The grower in
a tick-infested country labors I'M
der a crushing handicap. His
cattle weigh less and bring less
per pound than those of his COM
petitor in tick-free sections.
In Alabama and Mississippi, for
example, the average price for
beef on the hoof was, on January
