greatest must be least and that the
least we have done unto one OF the
least of these little ones ye have done
it unto me, willfully sighting these
very little ones who appear as not quite
their equal. Sometimes it is money,
education, etc, there are so many
things that make other people not
quite so good as they in their own es-
timation. These little ones are certain

that they disturb the peace. no legal ac-

HOW ABOUT SUNDAY GOLF
And Other Amusements If Base Ball i
lttaoai7 Asks the Rev Mr.. Scudder

And Other ADJUSTMENTS If Base Ball is
illegal? Asks the Rev. Mr.. Scudder,
The Rev. John L. Scudder, pastor of
the First Congregational church of Jer-
sey City, in discussing Sunday base
ball said:
although ! am not an advocate of
Sunday base ball fail to see how the
authorities can put it into class by
itself and discriminate against 1T.
IF they stop the grocery clerk from
playing ball they should also stop the
lawyer and banker from playing golf.
They should tell the rover to put UP
his oars, and the man in the sail boat to
furl his sail. The Sunday automobile
should go out of business and no bicycle
should appear on the boulevard
He said he believed the whole ques-
ton of amusement on the Sabbath day
must be determined by the individual
conscience.
We are told that there is likely to be
first class "ruction" In the coming
July 10th state democratic convention
That the democrats, feeling the dis
grace" of sending a Hearst delegation
yolted against the platform and in
structions of the state convention
lately held to select delegates to the
democratic national convention. II
will be a funny spectacle If our DEM
ocratic friends thus go back on them
selves" The writer runs onto many
democrats in his travels, and finds this
condition generally. The active" l.. e
the leaders, the ones who attend to
things, were and are Hearst men. The
big majority who go to sleep and only
| wake up after the conventions are held
most decidedly object to Iowa being
known as Hearst state.
And in reading this over the writer
finds that in only changing names al
most an identical condition exists in
republican circles. Perhaps this Is
more noticeable in parts of the state
where the Cummins men have been
and are in the majority. And it would
not surprise some If in the coming
state convention, July Goth, an attempt
was made to lessen the force of the
now obnoxious plank on reciprocity
of nom competitive articles only" Even
the republicans who favored ''har-
mony" to the extent of letting the
Blythe Young-Hill Seventh district
faction, rum things, now see from out
side opinion that the republican party
of Iowa has placed itself outside OF
Harmony with former and probable
future national platforms on the tariff
question. The political pendulum has
swung so far the other way, that a
decided reaction has set in, and 1t may
be voiced in the coming convention
| July goth. After the outside world has
| read of our state conventions, botE
democratic and republican, there will
be no injustice in chasing us with

UBIQUITOUS AeRICUl TURAL EXPERTS.

The value of the book farmer and
agricultural expert to the particular
class his efforts are intended primarily
to benefit and to the country in general
Il aptly Illustrated by the announcement
OF Il most important discovery by
botanist Of the agricultural department.
Mr.. o. T. Cook reports that he has
ound in Guatemala an ant that preys
upon the pests of the cotton fields and
offers the reasonable probability of re-
lief from the ravages Of the cotton boil
weevil to the cotton planters of the
south. II these expectations are to be
realized the value of Mr.. Cooks dis
ccyery to the cotton growing states is
entirely inestimable. So sure is the
department Of the inestimable value OF
this discovery that 1t has AUTHORIZED Mr..
Cook to command any needed assist
ance in money or men.
1t is not claimed for the ant that 1t
exterminates the weevil. but in its ma
live haunts it succeeds In limiting their
NUMBERS to degree. that slight, If any,
damage to the growing cotton is effect
cd. Less than a week ago the agricul-
tulal department took an absolutely
hopeless view OF its attempt to save the
staple crop OF the south from threaten
+ in,x ruin. 1t was reported that every
expedient applied up to that time had
failed utterly. and, unless some remedy
could be found. every cotton growing
section north of the Gulf of Mexico
would be at the mercy OF the weevil.
The pecuniary loss already inflicted Is
estimated in the millions or dollars;
hence the reported discovery by Prof.
cook, even If results will not fully JUS
tify sanguine expectations, will be ac-
claimed as something like providen-
tial dispensation. The Guatemalan ant
II seems, is relief rather than cure
hut as it robs the weevil of its power OF
wholesale destruction. II Will come as U
messing to the cotton grower.
