WHAT is PATERNALISM.
Word as Applied TO Postal Savings
Banks-Teaching Independence.

When opponents of postal savings
banks have no other objection to
offer to the establishment of the
system in the United States they
take refuge in the assertion that it
is "paternalistic," assuming that
such a declaration establishes their
position.
The indefniteness of the term
paternalism does, indeed, make it
difficult to attack the position OF
those who hide behind its protect
ing shadow. Allgovernment is and
must be in sense paternalistic.
Therefore the only consistent op-
ponent of paternalism in all its
forms is the anarchist, and it is
notable that among the comments
On The RECORDS postal savings
bank bill by workingmen and trade
Iunionists the only opposition ex-
pressed was by few men of avow-
Iedly anarchistic notions Of govern
ment. When the state undertakes
to protect its citizens from violence
and theft it is in a sense paternalis-
tic. All the things which the gov
Iernment undertakes t. do for the
benefit of the people might be called
paternalistc. The public schools,
the fire department, the postotlice,
are all paternalistic institutions, yet
without them people would be
lacking in important elements of
civilization.
Generally the term paternalism is
taken to imply offensive activity in
looking out for the supposed inter-
ests Of the people and in regulating
their affairs on the part of govern
ment that is outside of and above
the people. In the United States
the government is the people, and
is engaged in carrying out their
will. The attempt of a free and
self-governing people to use their
government for the fostering OF help
ful institutions is cooperation, not
paternalism. The value of the lat
ter term as a catch phrase in op-
position to the postal bank system
consists in insinuating into it GER
tain notions of autocratic rule which
have no place in this country.
Paternalism implies dependence.
The object of the establishment of
postal savings banks in the United
States is the very reverse of this.
The effect of the system would be to
develop self-reliance and independ-
ence.-Chicago Record.

w. CT. U. COLUMN
CONDUCTED BY MRS. NJ. L. HOBBS.
Fish and Men.

Indiana. as every body knows, is
enjoying a reform" government
Especially has the police justice
been praised as good man." As
we watch his reported decisions he
seems like a queer mixture, ,-oc-
casionally giving the police instruc-
lions about enforcing the liquor
law that sound well TO temperance
ears, but when these offenders are
arrested, if you follow up the cases,
it will be found they escape with
little or no punishment. The policy
being pursued is good Lord, good
devil" one. Here are two instances
of Justice which occurred in that
court on the same day recently:
"Mary ii ddrick, wife of saloon
keeper in East and Washington
streets, was arrested charged with
selling liquor on Sunday. Patrol
man Thorne and Irish found her IN
in the saloon waiting on customers.
She entered plea OF guilty and
Judge Stubs released her on con
dition that she pay the prosecuting
attorneys fee Of So.
"a number of persons were ar
rested for having fish seines in then
possession. In police court William
Carney and Lafayette Starett were
each fined 800 and costs. The
eases against the others were con.
tinued."
The protection of fish is much
more important than the preserva-
ton of men. Great is reform IN
the old parties !--Phalanx.

Every newspaper treasures up in
its memory the name of its friends,
and likewise its enemies. 1t sell
dom, if ever, overlooks an oppor.
tunity to assist the former, but
never goes out of its way to boost
the latter. Human nature is pretty
much the same everywhere. Peo-
pie who show the newspaper man
kindness never make better in
vestment or one that more surely
pays them a hundred fold soon
er or later. AS has been truly
said, "There comes a time in the
life of every man when word said
or unsaid by newspaper either
makes or unmakes the individual
mentioned" It's a poor fool that
don't know it.-Washington Adver-

JASPER. INDIANA. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 22 1897.
Purdue University Agricultural station,
llninLnr ~ Ikl-

october ~. 1897. \
The San-Jose Scale, about which
so much has been said of late, is
prominently fruit insect, as il
feeds upon all kinds of fruit trees,
and as such it is more to be feared
than any other fruit pest yet intro
duced. 1t has only been about
eleven years since it was brought
from California on nursesy stock to
New Jersey, and yet within that
time it has spread to more than
twenty different states. 1t has
probably been in some sections OF
Indiana since about 1890. | have
been unable to find it on trees which
were planted previous to that time.
Ny attention was first called to il
last winter Mr. J. +. Reyman, OF
Salem, Washington county, who
sent me some infested plum branch
es. This tree was dug up and de-
stroyed, but, on visiting his place
last June, found that it had spread
10 adjoining trees. Since that time
| nave found it near Borden, Bartle
and Henryville, Clark county; Mad
ison, Jefferson county, indianapolis,
Marion county, and Peru, Miami
county. In many places the orch
ards were found to be very badly
infested some have already been
cut down and burned and others
will doubtless soon follow, causing
much disappointment and loss to
the owners.
HOW 1T MAY BE RECOGNIZED.
In looking for this insect most
persons will pass it by unnoticed
on account of its very small size.
The female scale is only about 1-25
of an inch in diameter, while the
male is only about one-half that
size. The shape of the female is
nearly circular, while the male is
more elongated. The female is
sharply convex or conical in the
centre. This last character will
help to distinguish it from many OF
the other more common species.
Its color is nearly like the bark on
which it is found. Another distin-
guishine character is found in the
reddish discoloration of the bark
Immediately surrounding the scale,
extending through both the outer
and inner bark. These characters
will enable one with an ordinary
pocket magnifying glass to readily
detect the presence of the insect.
TREATMENT.
There are two principal remedies
which are in use. CD The hydro
cyanic acid gas remedy, and (2)
spraying with certain solutions or
washes. The first method is not in
use to any extent except in Califor-
MIA, and in fumigating nursery
stock. The most practical remedy
in the orchard is spraying the trees
with a strong solution of whale oil
soap, (two pounds dissolved in one
gallon of water,) or with strong
kerosene emulsion, or even pure
kerosene oil when the leaves are off.
The spraying should be done at two
or three different times during the
year. Quite recently Professor
Rolls of the Florida Experiment
Station has discovered a fungous
disease, similar to the chinch bug
disease, working on this scale in
Florida. 1t may be that this is
Natures remedy; if SO, it will
doubtless come to our relief in time.
Should any person suspect the
occurrence of this peslDon trees in
his neighborhood, the Station
would appreciate receiving samples
of the affected wood.

A FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR STEAL.
Wall ST. Pool Raids the United States
Treasury.

A steal involving an immediate
loss to to the government of $2O,-
600, 900 and an ultimate loss OF
over $50, 10000 will be consum-
mated within the next twenty days
unless President Mckinley inter
poses his authority and protects the
people.
The Union Pacific railway com
pany owes the government over
$53, 10000 A pool of Wall St.
bankers has engaged in a scheme
of reorganization which contem-
plates the payment of 81 per cent.
to the government, or less than
$33, 900, 900, while securities subor-
dinate to that of the government
will obtain ID per cent. upon their
claims. All the legal rights which
the government might avail of in
the pursuit of the plunderers who
rifled the company treasury are to
be abandoned, and terms of sale
have been fixed which absolutely
bar every form of competition and
give the pool a big prize. There
are scandalous rumors tracing a
connection between this colossal
steal and the subscription of Wall
st. to the Hanna campaign fund,
and the selection of at least one
prominent cabinet official.
