err misdemeanantS, beginning to-
dav. may as well carry sufficient
cash in their pockets at all times
to pay the standard fine. The new
law then goes into effect requiring
all officers imposing fines to give
official receipts therefor, as pre-
pared by the Auditor OF Public Ac-
counts. There are stubs for each
receipt. Clerks OF courts give OF
fetal receipts when justices OF the
peace and police justices turn III
the cash to them The check IS
complete. Twice a year all fines
imposed are to be reported by the
clerks and certified by the attorney
for the Commonwealth, and they
must show not only the name date
offense and similar information
but must state when the fine was
paid
This makes a credit business in
the imposition OF fines a practical
impossibility. Trial officials VIII

A few days ago III. Is. Spencer,
the National Fuel Distributor, an
nounced that the Federal govern
ment would 80 out of the coal
business for the present, andit was
stated that all those in great need
of coal, especially TO keep indus
tries going. should apply to the
fuel administrator in the several
states. This announcement was
given full and complete publicity,
but it is observed that Mr.. Spen-
Ger is still receiving requests for

The American people are be-
coming habituatcd to the idea OF
going to Washington with their

in position to do more for them.

ESPECIALLY in time Of trouble, is 4

To Wipe Out Disease
In u. S. Herds

/ ST. Louis, Mo, Sept Complete
! eradication of tuberculosis among cat
tie is a practical possibility, DR.. J.
A. Herman, chairman of the Inter
national tuberculosis Committee and
connected with the Department OF
Agriculture, declared here today be
fore the American Veterinary Medl-
cal Association.
Dr. Herman placed before the con
vention showing that cattle infection
Of this character has been greatly
reduced and is now comparatively
light.
in 81 states, comprising l6 2 per
cent Of the area Of this country and
containing more than 40 per cent OF
the cattle of the country, there IS less
than one per cent Of tuberculosis,
said DR.. Herman. THE livestock
owners in those states have DECIDED
that the disease shall be eradlcated.
In this area there is such an active
sentiment against the plague that 1t
does not seem too much to expect
that within 10 years 1t Will be en-
tirely eradicated or reduced 10 d"
MINIMUM.
"Inasmuch as it has been demon
strated that bovine tuberculosis may
be eradicated from an individual herd
or a group of herds or from all the
herds within circumscribed area,
there is no reason to believe that
the campaign, inaugurated in l9l';
will be abandoned until 1t IS wiped
out in every county in the United
States"
DR.. Herman called attention TO
the rapid progress that is beng
made in many states where there IS
high percentage of tuberculosis.
From July !, 1917, to June -, 49,
600 tuberculous cattle were destroy
ed in this country. When the cam
paign began it was thought by some
persons that the destruction OF so
many cattle would cause a shortage
of dairy products and cause alarm
among consumers But this has not
been the case. The per capita con-
sumption of milk has increased and
the number Of milk cows Increased
341 600 head in 1921.

rection, and it was believed to be
situation that might lead to for
eign complications.
At first there was some doubt
as to the exact meaning of the
president. some Of the members
! thinking he had in mind the Dwy-
er anti-lynching bill. Later 1t was
realized that it was the Herrin
massacre that was uppermost III
the presidents mind. At the time
the idea occurred to us that II
should be the other way around,
and that American citizens might
be in greater need OF protection
from aliens. We were inclined to
blame the contributions which
south Europe had made to our
population for the happenings at
fIcrrin. Certainly it looked more
like a Russian pogram, or a Bal
kan slaughter, than it did any act
of mass murder of which we had
heard in this country.
But special correspondents sent
to report the Herrin court pro-
cccdings have been Setting us
straight. They say that more than
sixty-threc per cent OF the union
miners in Williamson county are
American born, and that an even
larger percentage consists OF
American citizens, born and nat
uralized. The Italian is heavily IN
the minority, and it is recalled that
it was an army officer that told the
men captured at the mines to make
a run for their lives, and then shot
them down as they sought to drag
suit cases over a wire fence, and
that later Knocked the sutferings
OF the wounded. We are remind
ed that American citizens have
caused it to be called bloody Viii
hanson.
We are even denied the melan-
choly satisfaction, therefore, OF
calling the melting pot black, 50
long as it is bloody in Williamson
county the blood must continue to
rest upon the heads Of American
citizens, very many Of whom, we
are assured, went to the mining
territory from Kentucky and len
ncSScc.

CHECKS AND BALANCES

When the bonus bin was trSt
proposed statesmen were fairly
well agreed that there were no
funds in the Treasury for such q
purpose. But the house, not the
greatest deliberatiyc body ON earth,
passed the bin, thinking it would
be killed by the greatest delibera-
tive body, as it once thought the
senate would kill a certain reSolu-
ton for driving mp the capitol.
House members felt hurt upon
that occasion when Senators
Called them, and likewise voted
dry. Now we are told that num-
Der OF senators. with their respon-
sibihtics and duties sitting lightly
upon them. have felt free to sup
port the bonus bill, secure i'll the
knowledge that the president stood
ready to save them from them
selves. and veto the bill. Quite

of the bill. what in this situation

Shorter Letters
New The Rule

Washington, Sept. 1.-Amcricans
are writing shorter letters.
This statement was confirmed to-.
dav by comparative figures made OF
the post office department upon the
weight of the average letter that
goes through the mail.
Back in 1907, on the average that
there were 40 pieces Of first class
mail to every pound.
Now the same data shows that,
there arc l5 pieces Of first class mail
to every pound This means that the
weight Of the average letter IS less
and, therefore, shorter.
