Mr.. ]. H. Walker, who was in

mass meeting" on his arrival at
home that evening found a tele-
gram from DIR. E. P. Flowers,
stating in substance the same
thing the doctor stated here at
the mass meeting. AS it is for
the good of those who were not
at the meeting, Mr.. Walker asks
us to publish it, as follows:
Baton Rouge, La, March /, 1919.
]. H. Walker, Pollock, La:
Lifting quarantine from Grant
parish does not mean absolute
tick freedom, and does not ex-
empt cattle owners from dipping
this season. Several quarantine
herds in the parish show infec-
ton that must be wiped out.
Will dip this year about four
times in already clean territory
and if still free will release them
from dipping, combining efforts
to infected areas.

Telephone Rates are Held Legal by
Supreme Court.

The increased long-distance
telephone rates in Louisiana as
prepared by Postmaster General
A. S. Burleson will go into effect
as scheduled, according to de-
cision of the Louisiana Supreme
Court Monday. the only thing,
according to legal authority,
which can now avert operation OF
the higher rates, scheduled to
become effective as of Jan. 81,
1919, is a reverse decision on the
part of the Supreme Court in case
of a rehearing.
The Louisiana Railroad Com
mission brought injunction pro-
ceedings before Judge H. F. Bru-
not of the Twenty-second District
Court, Baton Rouge, enjoining
the Cumberland Telephone Com
pany from collecting the adj
vanced rates. The appeal against
the injunction was taken to the
Supreme Court and submitted on
briefs. The decision of the Su-
preme Court dissolves the in
junction. Associate Justice w.
B. Sommerville was the organ Of
the court.

Opposition to Dipping Almost Riot


Colfax came very near having
a tick riot" last Monday when
about two hundred citizens from
the interior of Grant parish came
to town in bad humor about
some unauthentic reports that
had been spread over the coun-
try about cattle dipping.
They had heard that all of the
cattle owners of the parish were
to be forced to dip their cattle
again this year, beginning in
March and continuing through
the summer, AS they under
stood that Grant parish had been
declared tick free after the dip
ping of 1918. they were naturally
indignant and disposed to kick
over this proposition, and many
of them asserted that they would
not comply with the require
ment, but would fight it to the
bitter end.
One or two Indignation meet
ings were held over the PROPOSE
ton, and having no one to coun-
sci moderation in the matter they
grew somewhat wrathy over the
discussion and decided to come
to Colfax on Monday when court
would be in session and the po-
lice jury sitting, and they could
enter their protest and possibly
find some way of evading what
they regarded as an imposition
and hardship.
They held a mass meeting in
the court house andthecourt room
which contains 200 seats was
filled, with 25 or 80 additional
persons standing in the rear and
in the aisles, besides several on
the platform. There were about
fifty men present who could not
be included among the protest.
ers so this leaves scarcely 20(
men protesting among more thar
1000 men in the parish.
Several speeches were made
the speakers as a rule being
moderate in protesting and ex
pressing desire to stay within
the law while contending fol
what they believed to be theil
rights. One or two, however
were somewhat Incorporate ant

cognizing the injustice and un
fairness of these aspersions. yer,

work was in the interest and TO

for and was present, patientl
heard all of the complaints as t
what a hardship it was for tn
people to dip in cold weather
and how it was almost impossible
for the poor cattle in the hills t

they had been driven into. them

that as several herds in the pal

The League Our Own Child.

Somebody's ago we quoted Pres
idents Taft and Roosevelt, speak
ing long before the European war
| in favor of a League of Peace,
of which America should form a
part.
AS a matter of fact, the league
is our own child, and not the
foreign abomination it is charact-
erized by the Borahs, the Varda-
mans and their kind.
Even before these two Repub-
licans presidents had spoken, an
other Republican president. the
late Mr.. Mckinley, had sent a
message to the Senate. declaring
that "the adjustment of difficult
ties by judicial methods rather
than by force of arms" had been
1.-The leading feature of our for
eign policy throughout our en-
tire national existence"
! Still another great Republican
authority might be quoted, no
less diplomat and statesman
than John Hay. who drew for
the first Hague delegation asum-
mary of resolutions by Ameri-
can legislatures, and both houses
of Congress and utterances by
prominent statesmen, including
! Republicans like Charles Sumner,
James G. Blaine and John Sher-
man, going to prove that the
idea of a League of Nations to
preserve world peace had been
typically and consistently Amer
lean.
The case is well put by the
, New York Evening Post when it
says:
1 THE question is, then, wheth-
/ er Senator Borah is a truer. i'm
terpreter of the American spirit
than Roosevelt and Taft and
I Choate and Root; whether the
+ bray of a Missouri mule better
represents the voice of the United
D States than the words of Olney
/, and Bayard, Bryan and Wilson.
Arbitration, moderate arm a.
ments, international courts of
, justice, agreements between ma
tons to keep the peace at all
|, hazards-these things have en-.
r tered into the warp and wool OF
r American diplomacy. They are
now embodied in the League OF
! Nations. Are we going to deny
n our own. At the moment wher
I the European powers that polite
ly rejected our proposals at The
). Hague Conference have beer
