Work of Tick Eradication
Making Substantial Gains
Proven by Figures.
AUGUST SHOWS GAINS
Over Previous Month In
Number of Herds and Cat
tie Dipped-Federal Quar-
antine Night Soon Be No
More in Mississippi.

Inspector J.. A. Barge, of the u. S.
Bureau of Animal Industry, with Mis-
sissippi headquarters at Cos Millsaps
Bldg, Jackson, Miss, and who visited
Bay ST. Louis some few weeks and ap-
peared before the Board of Supervisors
in the interest of the building of dip
ping vats in Hancock county, has writ
ten a communication to The Echo. In
it he dwells on the data compiled at his
office, whese State Inspector H. Chad
wick, of the Live Stock Sanitary Board,
also has his headquarters.
DR.. Barge tells The Echo that as a
result of the work of the County, State
and Federal forces, S0,559 herds and
7O5, ,424 cattle passed through the dip
ping vats in this State during August.
This is substantial gain over the num-
Der of herds and cattle dipped during
the previous month.
Great effort is being made to see that
every exposed or infested animal is
dipped and that the arsenical solution
in the vats is kept to sthe required
strength. AL vats are required to be
tested at each dipping and a record of
the test EN- tered on the dipping record.
In order that no cattle may be over
looked arpd not dipped, an accurate re-
cord is kept and each herd that is ex-
posed to or infected with ticks is check
ed by the records at the dipping vats.
AS result of this close supervision,
the number of ticky herds are being
gradually reduced, and less than, onsss
half as many herds showed ticks this
month as the previous month.
The work of vat building Is going
steadily on in the counties not yet en-
gagged in the active work of tick eradi-
crtion, and many farmers in these coun-
ties are dipping their cattle in order to
free them from ticks which will per
NIT them to take on flesh and get in
better condition to stand the winter
months.
Unless all indications fail, Mississip-
pi will be the next State to have the
quarantine raised and the free markets
of the world open to its cattle.

BILOXI IS AROUSED
OVER PROPOSED SALE
Of PARK At DEPOT
Louisville e Nashville r. r.
Company May Put Place
of Amusement on Market
Company Possibly Tired
of Tax Burden.

| BILOXI, Miss, Sept. 12.-The L. &
N. railroad company will within 9
short time offer for sale-th Biloxi City
park and other real estate property here
owned by the Kentucky railroad system
according to information received by
City Attorney Louis Goldman, of Biloxi
from Superintendent Charles Marshall
of the L. & N. railroad with head
quarters at New Orleans.
The news that the railroad company
proposes to dispose of its realty hold
ings here created much apprehension,
as the city park is one of this city's
main picnic and pleasure grounds.
The late Commodore Salvatore Piz-
zati, of New Orleans and Biloxi, erected
a handsome So 600 dancing pavilion on
the city park and in the event that the
park is sold by the railroad company it
will probably be necessary for the
city of Biloxi to remove the structure
The pavilion was built also for the
Biloxi Tourist club, composed of hun
dre6s of winter tourists from the North,
to hold its weekly sessions during the
winter months.
No definite determination as to the
sale of this and other property owned
by the L. G N. has been made, how
ever, and a representative of the rail-
road company will appear before the
board of mayor and aldermen at its
next regular session in order that some
agreement may be reached between the
company and the Biloxi municipality
relative to the park. The City of Biloxi
controls the city park througha number
of park commissioners.

Georr,a. ave out Of the eight from
Mississippi, the entire ten from North
Carolina. including Britt, the North
Carolina Republican. the entire seven
OF the South Carolina delegation, two
from Tennessee, six from Texas. and
two virginia congressman went on
record against the Keating bill. Prob
ably a score or more Of Southern
members who we're opposed to the bill
failed to vote. The list Of Southern
Democrats includes prominent men in
the House. 1t includes, for example,
Chairman Adamson Of the Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee.
Chairman Webb Of the Judiciary Com
nittee. Chairman Clark Of the Public
Buildings and Grounds Committee, and
Chairman Kitchin Of the Ways ana
Means Committee, leader Of the House.
1t is a we'll known fact that Mr.. Kit
chin's brother, a former governor Of
the state, lobbied against the bill.
The sudden consideration Of the
Child Labor bill at this time Is not
due. Of course. to any sudden access OF
virtue. There is politics in it. The
Democratic party has promised action
on the measure, and the Republican
platform adopted at Chicago pledged
that party to this legislation.

Personal Liberty 10 Dead.

What has become Of Old Man Per-
sonal Liberty? We used to hear
great deal about him until a year or
two ago. but it seems that he no lon
ger has any friends in this part OF the
country. Personal liberty never had
any standing in court, for the reason
that the people have the right to Gre
ate laws and adopt policies that will
rebound 10 the good Of the majority.
This holds good on nearly every prop
osition. We find II in the regulation of
all matters affecting the public good.
Naturally 1t would seem that the man
who owns a dog and pays taxes for
keeping such an animal has also the
right 10 let that dog run at large. but
the laws says to the contrary, and the
dogs are either kept up. brought on the
streets under guard or killed. 1t is i
small matter to expectorate on the
floor of a public building, railroad
coach, street car. etc, and yet the law
steps in and says that this must not
be done To be sure. this law has not
been as we'll enforced as a number Of
others, yet the fact remains that there
has been a great improvement with
regard to this one thing. If one
should stop to consider how far per-
sonai liberty will permit him to 60, he
will find that the distance would be
very short. To make a long story
short. personal liberty licenses men to
do certain things until they interfere
with a majority of their neighbors, and
when they do this their liberty takes
wings and is Of no earthly value. The
liquor interests worked Old Man Per-
sonal Liberty to death and we are not
surprised that he is not heard from
nowadays. Peace to his ashes!--
Clifton Forge Review.
The trouble with the Old Man was
that he died Of overwork The OBJ
seouies were performed some time ago
Sept. %, 1914, wasn't it? The old
fellow had had a hard year Of it in
Virginia, and he couldn't stand 1t any
longer. His brothers are being worked
now in other States, and the indica-
tions are that the whole family may
soon be eliminated.-Richmo Vir-
ginian.
We do not mourn his passing. He
was conceited, intolerant, selfish old
heather who didn't care a rap for the
feelings Of anyone else. He was
stupid, ignorant and never saw far
ther than from somebody's hand to his
own mouth. There's only one place
for old Personal Liberty-he should be
marooned, the only human being on
the land he occupies. In any other
place he always interferes with public
rights. This old reprobate was the
chief vote getter Of the booze interests
until decent people had had too much
I! OF him and then they stepped on his
/ assumption. Ridicule of Personal
Liberty broke his heart and his pass
ing has shown up the whole lying,
! cheating fabric Of rum claims.

The Life Of a Gun.

The editor Of the Philadelphia
Press Forum" gives the following
interesting reply to a question that is
often asked:
The life Of gun is measured by the
number of rounds fired beyond which
the erosion Of the bore impairs the ac-
curacy Of fire beyond possible limits
Erosion is produced by the action Of
the gases at high temperature and
pressure. All guns except small ones
are now constructed with liners in the
tube, which, when the bore Is worn
out, are removed and replaced with
new liners. The cost of thus refining
a gun can be roughly fixed at 80 per
| cent. of the cost Of the gun. There
appears to be no limit to the number
of times that a gun can be refined,
hence the life Of gun is indetermi-
nate. 1t is, Of course. matter of
arbitrary decision as to when a gun
should be refined, as the criterion de-
pends solely on what is considered as
the accuracy desirable. 1t Is difflcult
to generalize on the subject The
small arms used in this country are
considered to be worn out after 5000 to
1900 rounds have been fired. Small
naval guns have been fired about 1000
times before they were regarded as
worn out. Large 12-inch and 14-inch
naval guns are considered to have a
life of one liner Of from $50 to 200
rounds. Low-velocity guns, such as
howitzers and mortars, have corre-
spondingly longer life than high-ve-
locity guns Of the same caliber. be-
cause the pressure they use. and hence
the temperatures are lower

Steam Curing Hay.


Maine is now ready for the installa-
ton Of steam curing hay mills. Such
a plan was perfected some years ago
and some have had hopes that it
would become practical and in every
day use. It would be almost invalu-
able to Maine farmers in these days OF
cloudy weather. fog. mist, moist at
mosphere and showers. A couple Of
years ago Popular Mechanics had this
description:
The green grass = hauled to the hay
factory, unloaded at one end Of the
plant and, 80 minutes later, emerges
ut the other end perfectly cured. ready
for the barn or bale press. In case Of
rain. a canvas cover insures arrival at
the barn without wetting, The farmer
has about given up his time e-honored
trip to the "grist mill d" and here comes
the hay mill. Frequent showers make
good grass but much of this is ruined
in the process Of sun-drying. The
eteam drier is independent Of weather.
and moreover turns out a better
product. and can work nights. Maud
Muller might get job checking the
loads. but there isn't very much re-
nance about watching the steam

Democracy and States Rights.

Forty-hve States have enacted child
labor legislation which seems to be
satisfactory to their respective citi-
zens. Only three-New Mexico, North
Carolina and Wyoming-are laggard.
Opponents Of federal child laboc
legislation. which President Wilson is
now supporting. contend that the
practical result OF its enactment would
be the adding Of an army Of inspec~ X
tors TO the governments payroll. with
bureaucratic control over what has
always been held TO be the business Of
the states and with no improvement
in conditions. The opposition of fed
eralization comes from Democratic
senators representing the South, where
belief in the rights Of the states over
their domestic affairs is still to be
found.
These senators call attention to the
fact that Mr.. Wilson is quick enough
10 appeal to States rights" when the
traditional doctrine of his party
comes in handy" to his desire to
cvade the opportunities of woman s,lf-
fragists, but throws it overheard in
his dealing with child labor legislation
when he thinks that by so doing he
may corral some Progressive and
laborite votes
The Washington idea that Mr. Will
son has undergone one of his famous
changes of mind on this child labor
question is not confined to Southern
senator's. Mr.. Borah of Idaho, con-
trlouted an interesting chapter to the
current discussion when he drew the
Senates attention to the following
comment upon the commerce clause.
found on pages IFS and 17a Of Con
sttutional Government Of the United
States" by the we'll known writer
Woodrow Wilson
tween the States" and the attemnts now
made during every session of Congress-
to carry the implication of that mower
beyond the utmost boundaries of reason
able ana honest inference show that the
only limits likely to be observed bv poli-
ticians are those set by the good sense
and conservative temper of the country.
The proposed Federal legislation Win
regard to the regulation Of child ,abor
affords a striking exsmple. If the power
20 regulate commerce between the States
can he stretched 20 include the regulation
Of labor In the mills and factories, it can
be made TO embrace every particular OF
industrial organization and action Of the
country. The only limitations Congress
WoulQ observe SHOulO the supreme Court
assent to such obviously absurd extrava-
gances Of Interpretation would be the
limitations Of opinion and of circum-
stances.
