would prevail. The people, especially
in the cities and towns, have been fed
so Systematically on the idea Of COM
pulsory dipping that hundreds Of
them who never owned cow in their
lives would vote to force their country
neighbors who do own them TO dip, no
matter what the cost in money or sac
rihce Of national rights. The men
who own the cattle would vote against
the proposition almost to a man.
Ought we, then. who do not own cat
tie, to step in and tell these men how
they must conduct their business?
"Under the present system the cat
tie men are being led into adopting 3
system which is proving beneficial.
Under the proposed system they are
to be driven. There is no use IN
writing to your senator asking him to
support this compulsory law. Your
senator is not for autocracy. His
mind is 'sot.'
There is an Ethiopian In this COM
pulsorS dipping biIl-several of them
in fact. But to lay them all out IN
the light of day would require more
time and space than / am willing to
devote at this time.
Another thing about this compul-
sorry dipping law is the feature which
compels the county commissioners TO
levy an additional two mill tax on all
property in the county. Before your
senator will vote to add to the tax
burden he must receive his instruc-
tions direct from the people who must
pay the bills.
"Some three weeks ago. there ap-
peared a most pathetic letter In the
Sunday Times Union. It's object was

lish Of poor babies who were being
deprived Of its nourishing qualities
because of the inferior brand produc-
ed IN Florida. The remedy was point
ed and predicted as a result Of IeRis-

cation by dipping. A perusal Of this
letter was very afecting-tears would
almost unbidden start. Representa-
tive Phillips of Columbia county, who
happened to be IN Jacksonville next
day, read the letter and was moved to
tears. He was also moved to inves-
tigate- He found the author to be a
druggist very much interested IN
compulsory tick eradication. For the
past year, under the voluntary dip
ping system, this druggist had been
selling a great quantity Of drugs
used IN the dipping fluid to the au-
thorities, and had been given assur-
ance that if the compulsory bin be-
came law he would be given orders
for thousands Of dollars worth where
only hundreds Of dollars worth had
been awarded him before. And so II

Sid Sheldon, the alleged leadc, of the "Moonshine" team of tug of warsmen, on seeing the number and variety of chickens bought to port on the steamer Alaska, sud- denly decided to turn farmer, and, accordingly, after much judicious choosing and considerable bargain ing, selected bunch that apparently suited him down to the ground.
 He is reported to have been busy during the past two nights fixing up suitable place for his feathered floock and acquiring the necessary feed, etc, as he had made no pre- vious preparations for his sudden move, the feathered brand being somewhat of a novelty to him.
 Sid will live on fresh eggs from now on, he says, and eggnog, too, if he can get suitable substitute ingredients, until fall. Then the chickens will go and the featherless variety will again come in for their due share of attention.
