The Every Evening is trying to
get up q scare among the people
with cock and bull stories. The
first pop gun let off was that the
Republican District Committee had
made demand for certain officials
heads in the Street and Sewer De-
partment. Now the second spasln
tells us that the wicked Republicans
are after some of the appointments
In the Water Department. But the
paper does not tell us how all these
startling changeS are going to be
brought about. Says friend. IA
big property owner, at our side,
what harm could come from making
several changes in both these de-
partments! There are plenty of
other men just as competent to fill
every position. and the world would
go jogging along at the same old
pace As for ourselves, the present
officials are good men, but there are
others.

Shortly before s.arted for home made

THE weather was broiling hot. and when we
got to Guatemala, which is a bout the largest
town onSthe road I thought I'd see what the
temperature really was. So I 4strolled out of
the hotel to. locate Thermometer and after
q long search I found one hanging on porch
Of residence. To my establishment 1t was
surrounded by cage Of wire netting, heavy
enough to hold young bear. It was a cheap
thermometer, not worth more than 2 shillings,
and such a precaution seemed all the more
remarkable because petty, household pilfering
is practically unknown in that country.

for this protection is that the people suffer
from torpid livers, ard regard mercury as a
specific. How the belief became current good

Finding the Way to Reform.

In syndicate article Mr. Frank Moss,
former president Of the New York police board.
points out the way to municipal reform He
contends that republic may be the grand
est of governments, and it may be the mean
est; 1t may be the freest, and 1t may be che
most tyrannical. A peoples government can
be no more than sham unless the. voters
have at least as much knowledge Of it and IN
terest in it as the merchant has in his bust
ness. There is plenty of volatile patriotism
that manifests itself in parading and flag
waving and electioneering. But the citizens
are too few who actually study the local con-
ditions and steadily give their means and use
their powers for lettering the situation. Chi
cago Is cursed with the same sort Of bad gov
ernment as New York. but deliverance seems
impossible. Philadelphia is as notorious, un-
der the sway of its debauched gang of Re-
publican rtngstars, as either New York or
Chicago; and her condition seems more help
less than either. Bad local government has
produced a crisis for the American system,
and the movement for good government is
the beginning of the revival Of simple patriot
ism among the pain people, for which SO many
have been hoping and praying. 1t is not SIM
ply In the election Of Mayor. Low and the
rest of the fusion candidates that the chief
cause of rejoicing lies, but il. tho awakening
Of the civic pride of the pepp:e. in the new
basis of common political action which broke
down the barriers that have 50 long separated
races, creeds and neSh!urhoods, and in the
coming into the hearts re M people of the new
issue of the horne. This hopeful condition did
not come accidentally suddenly, but was the
result OF the consistent, patient, constant and
faithful work of groups of citizens who gave
themselves with intelligent and patriotic de-
yotfon 30 the task of m king the civic admin
istration fit for their homes and true tic the
principles Of democratic and constitutional
government. What was done In New Ycra.
can be done, with like effort, In any city of
the land.-Western Christian Advocate.

HOW TO GROW ROSES.
Methods for the Destruction of In
sects Which Eat the Plants


sects Which Eat the Plants.
Happy the rose grower who gathers
roses unmarried by worm and blight, with
foliage perfect in form and odor; but with
the June roses this Is almost an i'm
possibility; rose bugs, slugs and cater
pillar; rose thrips, blight and mildew con-
spire to make the life of the rose grower
vigilance.
The simplest all round preventive
measure lies in freely pruning and thin.
ming the branches Of the plants that the
air and sunshine may have free access
to every part of the bush, and the ap.
plication of water from hose and syringe,
with sufficient force to dislodge any in
sects that may infest the plant, care be-
ing taken to reach every part of the plant,
especially the under side of the leaves.
The small green worms which draw the
leaves together with a slight net cannot
be removed in this way, the most effect
ual method Of destroying them being to
go over the bushes, pinching the leaves
between the thumb and finger, or more
agreeably with spring clothespin. The
spiraes, too,~will need this attention. In
some varieties, as the btllardi. the leaves
on the tips of the branches will be found
drawn together over the blossom buds.
and the buds completely destroyed. In
varieties giving but a single crop of
mowers during the summer this is quite
serious matter and should have prompt
attention. ~
For the destruction of rose bugs, show.
ering the plants with the paris green So
luton Is the most effectual remedy, using
one teaspoonful to four gallons Of water
1t must be used promptly, as these are of
all rose pests the most unsightly and de-
structive. eating the full-blown roses and
quickly destroying the blossoms of an en-
tire bed.

somewhat CURLY that he made it a rule

he repeated the incident to Mrs. Erne,
