DEATH TO GRAssHoPPsRs.

The grasshopper is not a Kansas pro-
duct, but of the Rocky Mountain re-
gions After multiplying among the
arid mesas of Wyoming, Utah and Col
orado and the desert regions of the Da-
kotas, an exceptionally drouthy season
and favorable winds started him in in
Vulnerable clouds eastward. So Kan
Sas, or some portion of ii, occasionally
suffers from his ravages. His disastrous
work was much greater in the early
history of the state. The department
of entomology of the State University
has just issued and sent out a pamphlet
entitled ''The Destructive Grasshoppers
of Kansas" The Leavenworth Times
says that the only way to prevent the
enormous mischief which these ami
mails % are capable of is to study their
ways intelligently and employ sensible
methods to kill them. The bulletin to
which reference has been made treats
the subject under the following heads:
Observations made in the field; life his
tory and habits of the insects; remedies,
natural and artificial Under artificial
remedies comes a good discussion of al
falfa and the grasshOpper. Then fol
low descriptions of the more destruct-
i've forms, with five plates of twelve fig
ures fully explaining the text. The
subject is presented in simple, popu
lar manner easily understood by the av
more evident that intelligent farming
IS the only successful way of securing
full returns from the soil. The depart
ment of entomology has done the farm
ers good service by placing the publica-
ion before them in such a manner.

IN DARKEST ARKANSAS.

Politically, Arkansas is benighted,
unQueStionably in the dark, but her
supreme court evidently carries a level
head. There is a law in that state
which gives priority or preference to To-
comotive engineers according TO the
length Of time they have served. An
old engineer was discharged for some
offense down there a short time since,
and he sued the road for a violation of
the law. The matter was finally car
ried to the supreme court, which in the
decision handed down declares that as
an engineer has the right to quit work
when he pleases, so a campany has the
right to discharge him when it pleases.
That is, company has the same right
as the individual and the individual can
not clam rights which he refuses TO
grant to his employer. The right Of
wOrkingmen TO strike and quit work in
a body or individually is not denied
even though such action ties up a com
pany or ruins the individual employer.
The rule must be made good as to the
other side, leaving an employer the right
TO discharge the individual who proves
himself unworthy or who is otherwise
unsatisfactory. Corporations arrogate
10 themselves too much power. it may
be at times, and even OppresS employees.
but they cannot hold an employe to ser
vice against his will Upon the other
land, the idea or claim embodied in a
law enforcing employment of unsatis-
factory or incompetent workmen would
pe ridiculous, and the employer must be
The sole judge of the wOrkman'S deSira-
bility, as the workman must retain the
right 10 quit when it suits him. with or
without any excuse upon his part 9th
erwise the law would be unjust upon
the one hand and tyraunical upon the
other
