Taking a Backward Step.

A dispatch from Colfax says suit
has been filed to enjoin the authorities
of Grant parish from enforcing the
State cattle dipping law. 1t also states
that as an indication of how some OF
the cattle owners are angered at being
forced to dip, several dipping watts were
destroyed last week.
This kind Of action might properly
be termed mossbackism. 1t is step
backward 1t is fostered by ignorance
of the minority and their unwillingness
to cooperate in routing this pest.
We firmly believe that less than one
per cent of the cattlemen of Grant
parish are in favor of disseminating
the dipping program. Yet, this un-
timely and back-stepping move OF a
few may halt the work in that parish.
And at the end of the year, Grant VIII
still be under federal tick quarantine,
whereas if she had continued to DIP
regularly-as the law proyides-sne
could be put down in the tickfree col
umn.
In any community, parish or state,
where every animal is put through the
arsenical solution every Ia days. only
one full season is required to finish the
whole job. If Grant parish has been
dipping for one year or five years. and
is still tick-infected, it is plainly evi
dent that all cattle were not dipped
every ID days for one season. 1t would
possibly take hundred years to make
any parish tick-free where the dipping
of cattle is carried on in a manner just
sponsored by handful of people in
Grant.
All but about five or six parishes in
Louisiana stand 99-to IL chance OF
being officially declared tick-free in
December this year, and unless these
five or six--including Grant-fall in
line and decide that it is more profit
able to raise and feed cattle than cat
tie ticks, they will stay in the black.

Y. M. c. A. Sunday Meeting
Hears of Roosevelt

DR.. H. NJ. j. Klein. professor of his
tory at Franklin and Marshall Col
lege. in an address on Roosevelt yes
terday at Fahnestock Hall, paid a
great tribute to Theodore Roosevelt
as man. The meeting was the first
of series of Sunday afternoon meet
ings for men held under the auspices
of the religious work committee.
DR.. Klein said in Roosevelt's death
this country has lost the ideal citi-
zen. whose philosophy of life was
to fight with all your might for what
you believe to be right, but smite to
the death anything which you know
is wrong.
"As a young man Roosevelt re-
solved to make the world little bet
ter for the fact that he lived and he
succeeded In this noble ideal to the
honor of everything he represented.
During his political career as a men,
ber of the New York legislature, ha
was always correct In his facts and
right in his principles and this
coupled with his determination to
support that which is right made
him the power and influence for real
Americnnism which later In his life
was one of the factors which placed
him in the Presidential chair. AS po-
lice commissioner, Roosevelt fought
corruption with all his might"

Navy to Buy Largest
Airship in World From
British For $2,500,OO0
By Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 27.-An early
closing of the contract for the pur-
chase by the Navy Department of
the British rigid airship R-3S, the
largest airship in the world, now
under construction in England, is
expected, 1t was stated at the de-
partment to-day. Two and half
million dollars were appropriated
by Congress for the purchase of this
afrship and for the training of the
pilots.
''The success" said the statement,
of the British in building and oper-
ating rigid airships, provided by the
trip or the R-34 to the United States
and its return to England. While
the Germans had many years start
of the British, the latter have made
wonderful progress in the last few
years.
The R-3S to outward appear
ances will look like the R-34 but
her dimensions, horsepower, speed
and radius of action will be much
greater. When full of gas she will
have 2,724,000 cubic feet capacity
which is fifteen times that of the
C-5, the United States naval dirigible
that blew to sea and was lost last
spring at New Found1and Just after
record flight from Cape MAY and
on the eve of an attempt to cross
the Atlantic"
The R-3S is 694 feet in length, Sc
feet in diameter, 9S feet 6 inches
high and carries q useful load of
forty-five tons. She is expected to
have a maximum speed of sixty
knots.
The British air ministry has offer
ed to train n personnel for the r.
SS. so that upon delivery the air
ship can be taken over Immediately
by an American crew and be flown
to the United States.

spect to one of the most vital

In these circumstances 1 SOL

now deal touch not only the

the public interest to declare
that any attempt to carry out
the purpose of this strike and
thus to paralyze the industry
of the country, with the conse-
quent suffering and distress of
all our people, must be consid-
cred q grave moral and legal
wrong against the government
and the people of the United

enforced and the means will be
found to protect the interests
of the nation in any emergency
that may arise out of this un-
happy business.
l express no opinion on the
merits of the controversy. I
have already suggested a plan
by which a settlement may be
reached, and 1 hold myself in
readiness at the request OF eth
er or both sides to appoint at
once a tribunal to investigate all
, the facts with O view to aiding
in the earliest possible orderly
settlement of the questions at
issue between the coal operators
and the coal miners, to the end
that the just rights not only of
those interests but also of the
general public may be fully pro-
tected.

PRESIDENT URGES PEOPLE
TO SUSTAIN RED CROSS
While Money Is Needed They Are Putting Especial Stress
on Value of Large Memberships This Is the
Purpose of the Roll CALI
Washington

Washington, Oct. 27.-President
Wilson has addressed the following
letter to the people of the country
appealing for support of the third
Red Cross Roll Call, which is to be
held from November 2 to IL:
LAS President of the United States
and as president of the American
Red Cross, l recommend and urge
n generous response to the third
Red Cross Roll Call which opens on
November the second with the OBJ
servance of Red Cross Sunday, and
appropriately closes on November
the eleventh, the first anniversary
of the signing of the armistice.
Twenty million adults Joined the
Red Cross during the war, prompted
by patriotic desire to render serv-
ice to their country and to the
cause for which the United States
was engaged in war. Our patriot
ism should stand the test of peace
as we'll as the test of war. and it
IS an intelligently patriotic program
whichN the Red Cross proposes, q
continuance of service to our SOL
diers and sailors who look to it for
many things, and n transference to
the problems of peace at home of
the experience and methods which it
acquired during the war.
'1t is on membership more than
money contributions that the stress
of the present campaign is laid. for
the Red Cross seeks to associate
the people in welfare work through
out the land, especially in those
communities where neither official
nor unofficial provision has been
made for adequate public health and
social service.
"It is in the spirit of democ-
racy that the people should under
take their own welfare activities,
and the National Red Cross wisely
intends to exert upon community
action a stimulating and co-ordinat-

ing influence and to place the ener-
gies of the organization behind all
sound public health and welfare
agencies
THE American Red Cross does
not purpose indefinite prolongation
of its relief work abroad, policy
which would lay an unjust burden
upon our own people and tend to
undermine the self-reliance of the
peoples relived, but there is q neces-
sary work of completion to be per-
formed before the American Red
Cross can honorably withdraw from
Europe. The Congress of the United
States has imposed upon the Red
Cross a continuing responsibility
abroad by authorizing the Secretary
of War to transfer to the American
Red Cross such surplus army med
ical supplies aid supplementary and
dietary foodstuffs now in Europe as
shall not be required by the army,
to he used by the Red Gross to
relieve the distress which continues
i'll certain countries of Euroie as
q resalt of the war.
"To finance these operations, 10
conclude work which was begun
during the war, and to carry ont
some comparatively inexpensive
constructive plans for assisting peo-
pies in Eastern Europe to develop
their own welfare organizations, the
American Red Cross requires, in ad-
dition to membership fees, a sum of
money small in comparison with
gifts poured into it's treasury by
our generous people during the war.
Both the greater enduring do
mestic program and the lesser tenn
porary foreign program of the Red
Cross deserve enthusiastic support,
and I venture to hope that it's peace
time membership will excel rather
than fall below its impressive war
membership.

The thefts of bodies are generally
committed by persons hired by FAM

brought to a particular cemetery or

have been refused by the authorities
