Exit the Christmas Dinner.

A highly respectable couple invaria-
bly, quarrel as to what they shall have
for their Christmas dinner, says the
Galveston News.
Last Christmas was no exception to
the rule, and, indeed, the difference in
oponion was so marked that neither
would speak to the other, and the
morning of the day before Christmas
arrived without any solution of the
important question.
In the morning, however, each met
the other at the door armed with a
basket, and the following dialogue took
place:
Mr.. Marlow-You needn't worry
about the dinner any more, Maria;
I've settled it.
Mrs Marlow-And so have I, George.
decided for myself. I've bought a
goose.
why, counfound it. so have I. Two
geese! The idea of having to live on
goose for a fortnight is too dreadful. :"
Then they relapsed into their former
icy taciturnity.
On Christmas morning, however,
Mrs. NARROW thawed so far as to ask
her husband whether he liked apple
sauce with his goose"
Your goose, you mean," retorted
her husband
"No, 1 don't. It seemed so absurd
having two geese in the house that I
sent mine to Aunt Jane
Good heavens!" exclaimed the hus-
band, land I've sent mine to Uncle
joe"
They dined off bread and cheese, and
yet they were not happy

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: 1.-THE total foreign trade Of Cam
ada in the last fiscal year amounted to
about $473, oO0,O 900 in value, an increase
of nearly 100000 over the former
year. Wheat exports show a decline
from 100000 bushels in 1908 to H.
100000 in 1904, the same experience on
ly in lesser degree as that of the
United States. The total exports de-
clined from $2140O0,0o0 to $19S. 900, 900,
while the imports increased from $224.-
600, 900 to $243, 900, 900. The chief increase
of imports was in dutiable articles.
These returns sufficiently indicate the
growing Importance of Canada in the
worlds trade and the wisdom of re-
ciprocal free trade between the United
States and its Northern neighbor."
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
Our minister to Cuba. Mr.. Squiers,
reports to the government that he was
much disturbed by what he saw when
he went to Matanzas to attend a ban
quet in honor of the installation of
waterworks. On the banquet table
there was no article from the United
states except the -four in the bread.
DO not condemn the Cubans as in
CRATES. They are evidently doing Just
what We should do in their places.
Though the waterworks were installed
by company composed principally OF
citizens OF the United States, the ma
chinery was purchased by the COM
pany from German manufacturers. II
Is in order. we suppose, for Senator
Fairbanks TO suggest a bounty on all
exports OF manufactures from this
country TO Cuba"

THE GOVERNMENTS BUG HUNTERS.

II
Twenty-Five years ago the federal
| Department of Agriculture had in its
| service one entomologist and one as
sistant. with a special appropriation
of 80 900 for expenses. To-day it has
some sixty experts trained in the
study of insects. probably as many as
| sistants and laborers. and fund of
100000 a year The principal growth
of the division of entomology, which
has been raised to the rank of a bu-
reau in the department, has been with
in the past eight or ten years. The
people have come TO understand how
large part in agricultural life is play
ed by insects, and to appreciate how
necessary it is that insect pests shall
be studied and the means for their de-
struction discovered. And that is the
work of the Bureau of Entomology.
There are certain Economists" in
Congress who have opposed the pass
ing OF appropriations for the govern
ment's scientific bureaus, on the ground
that they are expensive. Such "econom-
ists"- practical politicians aldo not
like the idea of paying out money for
anything that does not furnish offices
for political workers, and the bug
bureau" offers no place for political
heeers. That is why, doubtless, the
Bureau of Entomology hasn't more
money at it's disposal for needed and
useful experiments. The bureau costs,
as stated about $4,000 a year That.
1t has been estimated, would be suf-
ficient to pay the expenses of the navy
establishment for just about fourteen
hours And yet the bug bureau is
saving millions of money to the
people. Its activities in connection
with the Texas cotton boil weevil are
too we'll known to be commented on.
The weevil destroyed millions of dol
lars worth of cotton in Texas last
year. The bureau has made investi-
cations and issued instructions with
respect to preventives that will make
the loss very much less this year. 1t
has established in every county of
Texas an experiment station for the
PRONUNCIATION of anti-weevil informa-
tion which it is believed will have the
effect Of demonstrating to the farmers
that they can raise good crops of cot
ton despite the obnoxious insect.
Other good work done by the bu-
reau during the recent past and con-
tinued at present is the fighting of the
San Jose scale, the malarial MOSQUITO
and the various pests of the citrus
fruit trees of California. Only a few
years ago it was feared the orange
and lemon industry of California would
be ruined, because of certain insect
and fungus pests that attacked the
trees. The government entomologists
took the matter up and discovered a
remedy. and now the California citrus
fruit industry is in a flourishing, pros
porous. condition. How much this has
been worth TO California can only be
estimated, at a very large sum- So
far from this bureau being expensive,
it is one of the really economical
branches of the general government.

THUMB BETRAYED HIM.
From the Springfield Republics

From the Springfield Republican.
Two burglars have been caught at
London in a strange way. A house
was recently entered and a burglar
took all the silverware he could find,
but rejected a large piece of plate aft
er handling it and assuring himself
that it was not solid. But his hands
were dirty, and several clear imprints
of the lines on his thumbs remained
on the plate. The men from Scotland
yard noticed these, compared them
with the thumb marks of noted Grim
mails which they had on file, found
their counterparts and quickly arrest
ed the thief. Their success was so
satisfactory that Investigations of
similar nature were made In the next
burglary which came under their no.
tice, and glass which the thief had
used TO drink from caused his cap
ture.

Readers Of the war dispatches OF
yesterday must have been impressed
with two characteristics of the con-
tending armies-the stubborn courage
of the Russians and the brilliant dar-
ing and persistence Of the japanese.
Time and time again the Japanese
were beaten back from the strong de-
lenses at Lao Yang with terrific
lossea but they always came again
ready TO do or die. The Japs placed
absolutely no value on their lives fur
Their than those lives could be used
to advance the cause Of their flag.
Now the question is. when two such
brave and determined races go TO war
with each other when will the conflict
be brought to an end? Il looks like
the war would be a long and exhaust
ina one.

A Democrat is running for Governor
in New Hampshire, just for the fun
of it and to keep the record straight.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-09-12
FACTORS IN THE CAMPAIGN.

1t is recognized that the nominees for
Governor of New York will be impor-
tant factors in the presidential cam
paign. The Democrats cannot win
without the electoral vote of that state.
and strong Democratic nominee for
Governor will help them to win it,. The
Republicans understand the Importance
of carrying that state, and, hence they
are hunting for a strong gubernatorial
candidate.
The time for holding the state con-
ventions is close at hand. but there
is no certainty as to whom either the
Democrats or the Republicans will
nominate. A while back the Republi-
cans were determined to nominate for
mer Secretary of War Root, but he has
told them that even If unanimously
nominated he would have to decline.
Therefore he Is regarded as out of the
list of possible candidates. 1t is
thought now they will nominate Henry
w. Taft. a brother of the Secretary
of War. He is d lawyer of some prom
inence in New York city, but is
little known by politicians. He will
not get the nomination without a strug-
gle, however for the reason that there
are two or three Republicans who have
been seeking the place for years, and
will not stand aside at the command
of the boss of the party.
The Democrats were very anxious to
have former Secretary of War Lamont
accept their nomination for Governor,
and he hesitated several weeks as to
whether or not he would, but a day or
two ago he announced that his bust
ness interests wouldn't permit him to
do so. Therefore. il is almost certain
that Edward NJ. Shepard will be the
Democratic nominee. He is a man OF
ability, and lawyer of New York city
who stands high in his profession.
Mr.. Shepard will contribute more
strength to the Democratic ticket than
Mr.. Taft will to the Republican ticket.
Indeed, with two such popular candi-
dates as Judge Parker and Mr.. shep-
ard it is practically certain the Demo-
Gratis viii carry New York.

The common schools of Philadelphia
were opened for the fall term a few
days ago. According to the Press of
that city. the schools were opened
with all their imperfections thick upon
them; too few sittings for the children,
too few text books for those that are
accommodated. no coal in the cellars
of many of the schools" etc. The
same paper printed pictures showing
the tattered and torn books that had
been given the children to study. That
IS what comes of a school system DOM
mated by politics. Philadelphia is in
the clutches of Republican political
ring and the city's schools are made
to pay heavy tribute to the ringsters.
Heaven forbid that the time should
ever come when the common schools of
Savannah, like those of Philadelphia.
would become the prey of practical"
