TO THE EDITORS OF THE ENQUIRER.
CHEAT AND WHEAT.

BALTIMORE, July y, 1919
Your notice of my card the subject of Cheat and
Wheat, lin the Enquirer Of July d. has jdst been
shown TO me, and | lose no time in complying with
your request, theren made,) by "dehnng what
mean by cheat" Permit me to observe, lha. this IN
Certainty as TO what really cheat, very strong ar.
gument against the changeability Of wheat TO cheat
TO my certain knowledge, there are three distinct
plants, called cheat, and all Of these are occasionally
called chess and again they all called darne and
sometimes spelt, speer, and spelta all which msno-
mers occur among different farmers in the same dis
trct and in different parts of the country But TO the
description. CHEAT is the plant presented to you by
one of the farmers, with "sma stalk at the end Of
which were pendulous strings and seed vessels, like
grass running to seed" You will gather its exact
character from Inc following Linnsan description -
3romus seeainus Smooth rye, broom grassy grows
only from eeed native of England, where it has been
known time out of mind. Panicle nsesd nodding at
end, spkeets ovate oblong, compressed naked fores
at last distinct, beard wavy, shorter than glume,
leaves nearly smooth On holding blade Of cheat TO
the light, and looking over its surface you will find
covered with extremely fine, short, perfectly erect
hairs. By this test, can and have, often discovered
cheat among wheat and timothy, when the panls were
not six inches high, neither Of these latter have
hairs on the blades This plant is known in England
az "smooth rye broom grass, and Is there never
pected of originating from wheat. In that country,
nothing but darne is supposed to be produced in this
way and the farmers there quarrel with the seasons
and their i'll luck for changing their wheat TO darnel,
Just as our farmers do for changing their expected
crops of wheat to cheat Darnel is the other plant
shown 10 you by the farmer, with ga stronger stalk,
which threw off little or short branches, alter
naley on each side of the stalk and in the crotch or
angle Of the joint, FIVE six grains resembling
small withered grains of wheat" Here is the botanic
description of this plant Loum, temuieniu, darnsl,

The .NeD York Life Insurance and Trust Company.
As some of our citizens are interested in the sol.
vency of this institution the prosperity Of which has
been almost uninterrupted, until the astonishing rob.
berries of Edward A. Nicoll the former Secretary
discovered, have thought it might be useful lay
before our readers brief statement Of the result of the
late official investigation into its concerns by the Mas
ter in Chancery and two former Cnmptrollers Of he
State Of New York-to wit: MIR. John Savage, late
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court, and William l.
Marcy, formerly Judge of the Supreme Court, and
lately Governor of the State. We mpelled 10 this
course by another consderation-vz that of rescuing
from unmerted reproach the late President Of the In
stituton, William Bard, Esq, wbo in 1929, first sug
gesed the plan, under whose admirable management
/" the Company rose to bs great and important, and
after having passed through years Of embarrassment
+" in the country, Of diminishing currency, deprecia-
+" ton of property, and general ruin, unparalleled in
/" it's history, it still stood, among the wrecks around
:" it, uncontaminated in reputation, undminished in
credit, and but little injured by the circumstances Of
F." the times"
Thus stood the institution, its stockholders having
received seven per cent! on their capital and in add
ton, an average for nine years, and within frac
ton, an annuity in surplus dividends CT $50 ,0OO which
accumulated at six per cent, would amount TO $685.,

last, on stocks, personal loans and real estate well
as $350O00, Nicols robbery, there would stl appear
to De clear profit of 5000, which admits the cap
tai to be full.
The examining committee, in their Report, dated
25'h May ls43, say, Tha, after giving this subject,

WHO CAN TRUST THE ADMIN

The Richmond Wing thus responds
10 this inquiry;
These men have betrayed their friends
can we trust them2 They have bar
tered a majority Of fifteen millions of
people, an immense majority, for pace
and power. Can any human being have
faith that they will not sell the people a.
gain, when they find it to their INTEREST,"
Elected by one party they have SANDER
ed and oppressed and traded away the
friends who put them in power. Will
they not do so again, when the tempta
ton IS strong enough 10 master,no their
virtue, but their ~preIeEsion 10 virtue2-
Surely they will, and for exactly the
same reasons OF interest. A traitor is
not TO be trusted. He my repent his
treason, and always does ;but it is not be.
cause he has sinned, bu: because the
traitor Away finds the reward Of the
treason an inadequate compensation for
his degradation and remorse Of con-
science. Whomsoever we may rust,
John Tyler and Daniel Webster will ne.
yer be Of the number. We will rot be
relieved by them, even il they could re-
lieve us. We prefer TO suffer on, and
