VIRGINIA LAWYER SUES
(Nc-folk Ledger Dispatch)

John s. Wise. Jr., III New York IS
suing Miss Mary Clementine Smedley
for his fee for legal services rendered
her by winning two suits which Melted
MS fair client a good fortune. Mr..
Wise claims $4,000, and Miss Smed-
lev thinks that is too much, and so
Justice Cohalan will decide the mat
ter.
The fact is not Of SO much inter-
est as the further details as TO how
Miss Smedley's choice fell upon Mr..
Wise to represent her in litigation ov-
or the vii! Of an aged friend whom
she nursed in his declining days.
After Mr.. Wise had broken the will
and also recovered $4,000 of securi-
ties for her Miss Smedley gave a
party in celebration uf her good for
tune. 1t is reasonable to believe that
it was a fine party, as parties cele-
brating corpuleni ,ecacies should be.
and Miss Smedlcy is quoted as hav-
ing made little speech in which
she told of her selection Of a lawyer.
In her hour OF tribula!!on she turn
ed to her bible and her eye fell on the
line, ''There was man sent from God
whose name was John ~ believed"
she said, "tfat l had at last found an
attorney who would ne painstaking
and honest, 50 I pinned ny faith to
John S. Wise, Jr"
There may have beer other lawyers
named John, hut the coordination OF
Wise with it no doubt settled it. The
difficult part 10 understand. however:
IS why Miss Smedley would question
the zee Of the attorney heaven sent
as she admits. and one who wo:, all
that she claimed. Truly the ways OF
. woman are past finding out.

funds of the State Board of
Health should not be diverted
from the original purpose for
which taxes in support of this
fund, are collected from the peo-
pie, viz; the preservation of the
health of the human family of
Florida, yet the board would in
terpose no objection to a moder-
ate amount of its money being
used for demonstration purposes
by its own veterinarian for eduea-
tional purposes, as the board con-
siders that in the question of vet
Urinary medicine it is better equip
ped perhaps to fulfill mission of

err along the lines of improving
the health Of his stock, than other
departments of the State Govern
ment.
We may reasonably expect
further drafts on this fund to
wipe out the diseases that affect
citrus trees and tomatoes and POI
tatoes, and eventually it might be
possible to transfer to the Health
Board all the duties that are so
Isplendidly performed by the agri-
cultural experiment station at
Gainesville.
By such diversion Of funds,
the board would be hampered by
lack of sufficient monetary means
to carry on its fight against tuber-
culosis in Florida; it will be limit
ed in its campaign of education on
health and sanitary matters
among Floridians. Its AUCTIONS
are circumscribed in other direc-
tions.

SIS 900 or more, from the moneys
which in the form of taxes were
paid in good faith to conserve the
health of the human residents OF
Florida, to drive the cattle tick
the Board again and to set aside
from the state.
Now, what is known as Texas
fever among cattle is a disease
carried and spread among them
by ticks. The disease is not
communicable from animals to
men. 1t belongs to the cattle a.
lone and to rid them of the
pest would be a splendid accom-
plishment; it would add several
million dollars to the value of the
cows in Florida. 1t would make
them better for beef and dairy
purposes, but the people of Flori-
da have been, for several centuri-
es, eating beef from tick infested
cattle and drinking the milk from
them, and no one ever heard of a
human being having the Texas
fever.
In other words, the funds of the
State Board have been already
drawn on heavily to treat sick
hogs or to ward off sickness from
them,--a purely commercial prop
osition. The further menace al
ready foreshadowed, to get rid OF
the tick at the expense of the
State Health fund, is also distinct
ly another commercial proposition
lit affects the pocket-books OF a
certain class of property owners
in the state, not the health of all.
1t is purely class legislation that
is purposed and that has been en-
acted before.

Foolish Laws

OF making laws there is no end I!
If they all advanced public well
fare. it would be different, but a
good many of them don't fit and
the list includes great many
more than what are known as
freak legislation. !"
The State Board of Health was
organized to protect human be-
ings, citizens of Florida, against
physical ills that flesh is heir to. 1t
was not brought into existence to
cure sick hogs nor cows nor hors-
es nor mules nor dogs. Its mis-
sion in the mind Of its originators
was not to discover nor develop a
means for curing citrus canker
nor to eradicate potato rot.
1t is true that the board has ex-
pended much time and money to
fight CHAMBERS in horses and rabies
in dogs, and it has done this be-
cause, and only because, these
dangerous diseases are commune
able from animals to man, and not
from any undue solicitude for the
individual brute.
A certain Florida legislature in
the not dim and distant past, de-
creed that the State Health Board
from it's funds should distribute
hog cholera serum, free of cost to
the owners of swine in Florida.
Now, hog cholera is not commu-
nicable to humans. 1t is not a
menace to the health of men and
women, yet under this ruling of
the legislature, something more
than $21, 900 has been expended
for hogs within the past twelve
months, and the board could have
spent lot more if it could have
produced the medicine (at $500
a quart The hogs seemed to
like it as the child likes candy,
judging from the amount they alb
sorbed.
And now the funds of the State
Board seem to be threatened with
another big draft, for it is report
ed that the next legislature is to
be asked to dip into the funds of
