We keep an army Of 85.OOO men and
have 204 ships Of war. We are ready
to fight any nation on earth and yet
the little potato bugs laughs us to
scorn. Ever hear Of the big United
States suffering with the grasshopper?
Are We not powerless before the gypsy
moth? The bug family taxes this
great country $350.0OO a year, but In
the unequal fight between the nation
and the bugs the latter ever remain
unconQuered. The worms that attack
the cotton plant assess the farmer 500,
600 year. iMe potato bug eats S..
100000 worth annually out Of our
gardens. The chinch bug costs us
500. ZOO. 900. the Hessian fly $5O.OOO.-
900. and the grasshopper 100000, 600.
The big United States hasn't enough
money or men to win any war with an
insect.

An Undischarged Bankrupt.

Arthur sebright has been gazetted as
bankrupt no less than four times, and
in no single instance has he obtained
his discharge. Five years ago he was
brought up in a police court at Bow
Street, in London, on criminal charge
for obtaining credit from horse dealer
to the tune of $4,000, without informing
the vendor that he was an undischarged
bankrupt. He gave In payment notes
backed by the late Lord de LTsle, rep
resenting that the latter was worth
S150.oO0 year, although the peer in
question was insolvent at the time
Finally when the notes were dishonored
the plaintiff found that Sebright had
sold the horses for $1,000 and pocketed
the money. After no end OF unsavory
notoriety the matter was eventually set
tied by means OF a compromise with
the prosecutor. effected by some of Sc
bright's relatives.

DELAWARE MAY PRESENT
NAME OF JUDGE GRAY
Opposition to Diamond State Democrat
Declining.

DOVER, Del. July 16.-The determi-
nation of the Pennsylvania miners. who
appear to be the thermometer of the
nomination OF Judge George Gray, Of
Delaware. for the Presidency at the next
Democratic national convention may
caused a rehabilitation of the Democ-
racy OF lower Delaware. Judge Grays
chances to secure the indorsement Of
his State. when the farmers of Kent and
Sussex county were to be reckOned with,
were slight until recently and were new
eli considered probable until now. The
developments OF the past few days. how
ever have quietly worked a change, and
a canvass OF some OF the smaller towns
and several railroad trains and among
the Democratic farmers reveals the fact
that II the convention met tomorrow the
anti-Gray men would fail to prevent a
Gray Endorsement.
II is only few years ago that Senator
r. II. Lewis and other Democrats bolted
the legislative caucus that attempted to
renOminate Judge Gray for the Senate.
The objection TO him was that he did not
support the Democratic ticket in 1896.
and really gave support in stage whis-
pers 70 a Congressman TO defeat Con-
gressman Levin Irving Handy on the
silver Issue. That Senator Gray should
have taken this stand. after the many
years OF honors that the Democratic
party had given him. made an unmis-
taxable sore spot all around
But just as conditions changed against
the Senator then. so they are rapidly
turning in his favor now. and IL the ris-
ing tide continues Delaware will start
the Gray boom with a hurrah. The rank
and file Of the Democrats Of Delaware
believe now that the paramount ques-
tlon before the Delaware Democrats is
the negro question. leading Democrats
declaring that Delaware IS now the only
negro dominated State in the Union.
That Judge Gray stands pat on the
negro question from a Democratic stand
point IL uuquestioned. The question of
secondary Importance to lower Della

MAY HONOR MEMORY
OF GEN. J. {. BELL
The Manila Times" Suggests Filipino
School Bear His Name.

The Manila Times" copies OF which
have been received at the War Depart
ment, suggest that the Industrial schools
for Filipinos to be established at Ba-
tangas out of the proceeds OF the Ba-
tangas poor fund, be named In honor
OF General ]. Franklin Bell Says the
Times"
In order TO conquer the people OF Ba-
tangas General Bell was forced TO bring
them into detention camps in a plan Of
general concentration, and when the mil
itary campaigns had been carried into
successful conclusion the people were
generally in a helpless condition.
with the advent OF peace General
Bell turned all of his activity to the
restoration of natural conditions He
secured advances OF money belonging
rice and other foodstuffs, and agricul-
tural implements, and started a general
relief plan.
He was possibly without legal war
rant to use Government funds in that
manner. but every dollar borrowed from
the Government has been restored. The
poor were fed and TO those who had
means sales were made at fair profits.
The operations of the relief plan were
enormous and there has come into eeing
a splendid revolving fund that will con-
tinue to do good IN Batangas for years
TO come.
when General Bell left the islands
the money was turned over 10 the Phil
ippine government, and Captain Bough-
ton. long associated with General Bell.
was chosen to administer IL. The fund
is now so large that the Government
has been enabled to appropriate $5C,-
600 Mexican from it for the establish
ment Of a trade school where yourg
Filipinos may be trained in useful arts.
General Bells enemies dubbed him
'Weyler.' but time and results are justi-
flying all that he did We respectfully
suggest to Governor Taft that he call
this school the General Franklin Bell
Industrial School, in honor OF the mon
who really made it possible"

PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-Because he
fell in love with New York girl Leo
Alexandra two years go left the Rus
sian navy. His affection found a re-
sponsive chord in the heart OF his
eharmer and this blunted his fear of his
superior officers.
Drastic measures were taken to ap-
prehend the deserter. and he was finally

When brought before Judge McPher-
son IL was argued In Alexandro's defense
that as he had been waiting for the
completion OF the Russian vessel VariaZ,
then in the drydock at Cramps shipyard.
he was not properly a part of the Rus
sian navy. The Judge upheld this con-
tention and released the prisoner
From this decision the Russian gov
ernment then appealed to the United
States circuit court OF appeals, and this
tribunal reversed the lower court. Bail
was fixed for Alexandro's appearance in
court when wanted at 5000. His bonds
man was the City Trust Company.
Legal technicalities failed to fetter the
young sailor, for within a few days he
jumped his bail to return to the side OF
his bride. He has not been seen since.
The trust company yesterday surren-
dered the amount OF the bail to Judge

MUST CANCEL LICENSES
FOR POST EXCHANGES
General Davis Corrects Irregularities in
the Philippines.

Certain irregularities In the manner NJ
establishing post exchanges seems 70
have crept into the system in vogue in
the Philippines In a general order on
the subject issued by MaJor General
Davis he says:
1T is reported that in some cases post
conmanders have granted franchises %
civilians to carry on post exchange bus
iness for the commands. post ex-
change SO conducted, IL on land leased
or owned by the United States, is bet
another name for a sutler store, and il
not on such land the commanding off,
Ger has no authority or right OF SUPER
vision over the establishment.
If any permits or franchises for the
carrying on OF post exchange business
have been granted by commanding off,
GERS 10 persons not in the army, the
same will be cancelled or revoked and
the existing regulations Will be strict
ly observed"
General Davis also expresses the hope
that the exchange may be able TO in
crease the attractions OF the reading
rooms and calls attention to the fact
that the War Department has resumed
the former practice OF furnishing a gen
erous amount OF reading matter for the
troops in the Philippines. which he is
ready TO distribute. He adds:
Physical exercise in moderate form
being one OF the best aids TO morality,
contentment, and preservation Of health.
II is desired that athletics and gymnas-
ties among the enlisted men receive all
the announcement possible. With this
in view. where practicable a gymnasium
should be established in connection with
or near the exchange and equipped with
such fittings as the funds available viii
permit"

Is a fact that in many American cities
less care Is taken to keep the milk
sweet and pure than Is taken for the
preservation Of fruits, meat, and
other food products. The reason for
this state Of things, probably, is that
impure milk is not SO easily detected
as decayed fruit or beef. The time
honored joke about the milkman and
the town pump is proof enough that
milk can be adulterated with water
and other things TO a considerable de-
gree without detection.
Nothing, then, short of strong pop
ular feeling and thorough investiga-
ton viii make it impossible for care
less or dishonest dealers to sell un-
wholesome milk. The people must
know what they are getting, and de
mand only the best. Milk, eggs, and
butter are three things in which dubi-
business is not to be tolerated. Milk
which is not good is bad. Milk which
is not clean is dirty. Milk which is
not sweet is sour. And nobody wants
to pay for milk which is not good.

in any of these particulars it is not

milk.
