Exterminate the Grasshoppers.

It seems to us that State Senator A. d.
Stephens bill authorizing county commits
siorlers to pillow land declared by the state
entomologist to be infested with grass
hoppers is a wise measure see 81
The bill is supported by a petition from
many farmers who realize that fall or
early spring blowing is an easy and effica-
cious way of keeping down the grasshop-
per pest, if applied without exception. The
demand for such law arises from the
fact that careless or absent farm owners
let their infested fields go unplowed.
When one land owner thus neglects his
duty he nullifies the care Of his neighbor.
If the grasshoppers are to be extermin-
ated or kept from being dangerous all
fields must be plowed.
Such legislation has been called for dur
ing many years. AS early as 1855 the late
Professor Lugger emphatfcally called at
tention to the need for blowing. Mr..
Forbes, who acted as state entomologist
previous to the election Of Professor
Washburn to the office, said that the
state was very much in need of legisla-
ton which would make it possible for
competent authorities to compel the plow-
ing Of fields in which grasshopper eggs
have been laid, .for they are veritably
seeds Of trouble Professor Washburr,
is strongly in favor Of the bill.

cellent we have no doubt, In view Of the

WANDERERS LEGEND. BY Max SOmer-
vile, Professor of Glyptology in the University
Of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia Drexel Bid
die
This book contains one of the various
legends Of the Wandering Jew. The mar
rative purports to have been delivered
by the Wanderer at a conclave of &C.
clesiastics in Nuremberg in the sixteenth
century. The aged Wanderer, with flow
ing gray beard and patriarchal air, en-
tured unmasked and told the story Of his
wanderings from the time of the crucifiX
ion of Christ, throughout the whole world.
He talks Familiarity of Jerusalem and Pal
estine at the beginning Of the Christian
era, giving a very interesting version Of
the events, pronouncing the crucifixion a
most cruel act, and saying: II have lived
to see the emissaries of the church, the
dispensers of your faith throughout the,
civilized world,-that faith of that divine
man whom had repulsed."
THE HEART OF THE NEW THOUGHT. BY
Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Chicago: The Psychic
Research company.
This book is not full of Wilcoxian
rhymes. The lady prefers to pose as a:
Delphic oracle and writes in prose OPP
timistically, and advises people to simply
and daily, declare to. themselves that they
are very good and lovely and convert dec
laration into action. This is the sum of
her philosophy: Let the past go!'' she
says. But there are a good many people
who cannot let the past of hideous sin
go. It haunts them and tracks them.
Mrs. Wilcox tells people to: exhae while
they count seven and repeat the process
seven times and, while they inhale, if
they wish for any virtue, they will get it.
This simplifies the attainment OF virtue
greatly. It Is a wonder nobody has dis
covered the process before. The book
abounds in similar ridiculous prescrip-
lions. - ~ H.
THE STORY OF THE TRAPPER. By A. G.
I1aut, author of 'Heralds of Empire" ETC.
Illustrated. New York: D. Appleton & Co.
This volume deals with the men who,
in the spirit Of adventure and commercial
instinct, penetrated the northwestern
country in quest Of furs. An interesting
sketch Of the origin and growth of the
Eudson's Bay corporation and the North
West Fur company, is given. Mr.. Laub
| shows the conspicuous part the trapper
and the fur trader had in opening up the
| northwestern country. The American fur
trade has by the settlement of this coun-
! try been limited, and the Hudson Bay
company. still operating in the Canadian
| far northwest, is not the imposing and
dominant corporation it once was. The
| tales of the experiences of Indian and
white trappers in this book are intensely
interesting, as in the chapters on Bat
iste, the Bear Hunter ''Koot and the
Bob -cot,' John Colter-Free Trapper.'
There are descriptions Of the ways and
| haunts Of the fur animals most in quest
by the trapper and the author has.
| throughout, made a very attractive book.

The provision that each congressman and
senator may select two Annapolis
students will be good news to ambitious
youths who desire to enter the navy. 1t
means that the attendance at the naval

some 700 more marines, congress has talk

The Individual Not Responsible for
Society

Most men have little trouble in conform
ing to the social institutions of the world,
without splitting hairs over the question
whether they are really right or wrong.
Now and then, however, there are over
conscientious people who, because they, do
not believe in the traditional institutions,
cannot Justify themselves in living in ac-
cordance with them. Such man, in his
early life, was Nathan G. Meeker, founder
of the Greeley settlement in Colorado. Mr..
Meeker did not believe in land specula-
tion, being evidently forerunner of the
single takers. Therefore, when Greeley
was founded, he refrained from taking up
a large tract of land on his own account
Some years later he expressed his regret
that he had not taken land.
HE had come" says Professor Ely in
the February Harper's Monthly, ''to see
that social Institutions are not individ-
ual creations, and that individuals must
act in accordance with institutions which
have been established by society,"
1t would have been perfectly proper for
Mr.. Meeker, though opposed to land spec
ulation, to have taken up land for his
own benefit under, established custom
There would really have been no incon-
sistency between Mr.. Meeker's carrying
on an active campaign against private
ownership In land and at the same time
buying land for speculative purposes. AS
a man Of the present, he was bound to
take care of himself according to the rules,
1ou rfo ~ !,
believer in progress he was bound to
do his utmost to work the changes he
considered the best interests of mankind
demanded. We know of a. large land
owner who is making fortune in selling
at high prices t5 farmers land he bought
at low prices. JHet i frankly says that in
an ideal society he would not be. permit
ted to get revenue in this manner from
the men who actually till the soil, and he
hopes for a better custom in the future.
At the same time he would be foolish il
he were to pass by an opportunity to do
his best for himself. For him to refrain
from taking profits would be merely to
pass them on to some one else, some one
who might not make so good use Of them
as nlulSelI.
Similarly, a person who is opposed to
the organization Of trusts is justified in
taking stock in them if there is promise
that his individual interests will be ad-
vanced thereby, though he would not be
justified in bartering his convictions for
the sake Of the material good the stock
may do him. A person may believe that
the principle Of the timber and stone laws
is all wrong and yet go in for all the per-
sonal good he can get out Of the law, SO
long as 1t is the law Of the land and other
men are awaiting themselves Of its pro-
visions. ~.
A man cannot live In another age, and
he cannot separate himself from the or
ganism of society. ...

missions shows that they are valuable if
the right sort Of men are appointed to
them. But tax commission can do
