Cook From Kansas.

Washington kilograms announce that
Miss Marie Townsend of Topeka, Kan +,
has been appointed cook at the Grand
Junction Indian school in this state. 1t
is to be assumed that the culinary abili-
ties of tb.' new appointee are beyond
question, and that she is entirely capa-
BILE of preparing dishes for the young
aboriginal stomachs at that institution.
The inquiry is pertinent, however, as to
why it has been found necessary to i'm
port cook tor a government school To-
c ,ted 10 G dorado. There are very many
women in this state dependent on their
own exertions for livelihood, who are
competent cooks, and who would be glad
to receive the salary-and earn it, too
which this position affords. The News
suggests that the women OF the state. aud
particularly republican women who are
doing their utmost for Mckinley and
Wolcott, have good grounds for an Indis-
nant protest. Among them are doubt
less many who would be glad to have
this place, and they are certainly entit-
led to it. To them this appointment is a
decided eight. The patronage OF this
institution belongs to Colorado, yet COL
orado women who can vote are ignored.

THE TENT CATERPILLAR.
Preparations to Meet Their Ravages
Considered They Will Commence
by the Thousand

AS spring draws near the problem of
the forest tent caterpillar becomes mere
important. The question is repeated y
asked: Are we TO suffer again devasta-
ton Of trees and shrubs by these pcsti-
ferrous worms" There is no reason to
doubt that the worms, with the first
warm weather will put in an appearance
in as great numbers as a year ago, On
the contrary. there are many indications
that they are about TO hatch in countless
numbers, and unless prompt action is talk
en-, to escape them Will be impossible.
says the OGdensburg Journal From nu-
merous places throughout the State come
accounts OF warfare already being waged
or preparations being made 10 destroy The
wormS. On Monday OF this week the vii
lage of Oneonta Otsego county, voted by
large majority to appropriate 1900 and
as much more as may be needed to SyS-
temutlcally destroy the worms and pro-
tect the shade trees of the village.
A Norwood woman recently tried an ex-
pertinent with results which are truly
startling. She picked three or four spri IS
from Tree, each having on 1t one of the
ring-ike lunches. These sprigs she kept
in warm room for a few days and the
number of little caterpillars Matched was
conservatively estimated at thousands.
They were about an eight ct an inch long
when they first appeared, but they start
ed at once TO hunt for food, and began on
the little leaf and flower buds that had
started in the heat of the room.
1t is said by those whose experience in
the care of trees, shrubs and plants should
prove valuable, that the month OF March
is the proper and opportune time to mi
tate the fight against the worms. None
Of the eGggs are yet Matched. They are
upon the branches where they remain
throughout the winter season, and they
are in exactly the right place to begin

loon League of Vermont, containing the
names of all who voted in favor Of the
McGeary high license bill in the last Leg
stature has stirred up a hornets nest,
sure enough Many of the leading papers
are vigorously denouncng it. The head
ing and the Language used is certainly
pretty strong. Many of those who voted
for the bill are good temperance men, who
honestly believe the present prohibitory
law does not restrain the sale of liquor as
well as a stringent high license law would
do. These men are entitled to their opip-
ion and the circular smacks of persecution
and defeats the very object it aimed to
promote. IL Is all right to say that such
men voted against prohibition, and there

again, but to BLACK List" them for hold

that it was of japanese origin, We are in
formed that it comes from New Mexico,
where it is sometimes known as the
understanding cone nose" It is de-
scribed as being quite large, of bright

MAY FEEL THE HALTER DRAW
(From the Montpelier Journal

lf1OH me MOltQellcT Journal
II current reports are true some of the
Vermont newspapers, which have PUBLISH
ed the BLACK list" issued by the State
Anti-Saloon League, are quite likely in
the near future to feel the halter draw"
and to be given an opportunity in court
to explain their reasons for publishing the
same. This list was prepared by Rev. g.
w. Morrow, the State superintendent Of
the league, and sent out in The Ameri-
can Issue" a league leafet. Good legal
authority declares the publishing of this
list, or copying it in newspaper, action
able under the libel law. 1t is said the re
latives and friends of the dead represent
tatve from Bradford are particularly in
censed and aggrieved that Mr.. Dckey's
good name should be thus smirched. and
they propose to see if the law gives them
any redress This black list" contains
the names of all the representatives of
the Legislature of 1898 who voted for the
McGeary high license bill. Aside from the
question whether the league has over
stepped legal bounds and laid itself liza BILE
in its zeal without knowledge, it appar-
entity overlooked the fact that good men
and honest men differ in their ideas OF
prohibition and high license in this State,
and that many of the representatives who
voted for the McGeary bill are lifelong
temperance men, who honestly believe in
a stringent high license law for Vermont.
The Anti-Saloon League of Vermont seems
TO be unfortunate, either in its officers,
management or methods. Just as ii has
appeared to be doing good and legitimate
work throughout the State it has, time and
again, stopped over" so grievously as to
neutralize all the good il may have done,
and has turned against it the men in the
State whose assistance and influence ii
most needed.
