The Statesman has reason for felic-
itating itself upon its good work in

TO the commission cause. Two years

were strong advocates of a commits

When the local railroad organ ex-
plains why Ankeny, Stevenson and
other railroad politicians supported
John r. Rogers for governor in 1900
it will probably find an answer to its
question of why Governor Mcbride OPP
posed an appointive commission in
1901. 1t can be easily proven that
Governor Rogers told democratic sena-
tors that if the Tohnan bill were pass
ed he would allow the railroads to
name one of the three members of the
commission. OF the other two one
would be a democrat and the other IA
republican. This was not encouraging
to Senator Tolman and other advocates
of an impartial commission. Two or
three democratic senators voted
against the bill because of this de-
ciaration Of Rogers.

If the Holy Rollers of this county

organ says, why did Senator Cornwell
and Representative KEGS, who is chair
man of the county central committee,
repudiate their partys platform pledge
by voting against the Tolman commits
sion bill at the last session of the leg
iSlature? AS republican legislators
last year violated their party pledges
what guarantee have the people that
they will not do the same thing if given
another trial? What will a plank in
favor of a commission amount to if the
party nominees for the legislature do
not regard it as having any binding
force upon them? The only safe plan
this year is to send only democrats
pledged to the commission bill to the
Legislature. With the understanding
that any legislator who proves false to
the people shall forever after be dis
qualified from holding any political
office or position of honor or trust

the women of the higher classes view
the war alphabetically.
In few countries is patriotism more
deep seated than in Japan. 1t is said
that a Japanese mother asks no great
err honor than to have a son to die
for his emperor: that every man, of
whatever station in society, asks no
greater honor than to fall in defense
of his flag. 1t is this universal spirit
among men and women, that makes
heroes Of the Mikados soldiers in a
solid body.
One day before General Kuropatkin
left ST. Petersburg for the front
amid the cheers of the crowd, 1860 Rus
sian refugees who had fed to escape
the war draft, landed at Ellis Island.
Their lack of patriotism may seem
in striking contrast to that which is
calling Japan's sons home from all
quarters of the globe for service in the
field. But they are as much lost to
Russia as if they had died in battle
They are for the most part desirable

nishing assimilable material for Ameri-

Russia, last year, sent us 136,093 peo-
pie. Half the energy and intelligence
which are directed to territorial ag-
grandizement in the far East and a
nominal part of the enormous cost OF
war could have been more profitably
applied to keep these disconnected cit
liens at home.

PATRIOTISM OF WOMEN.

The dispatches from time to time

fused admission to the armv because
he was her sole support, stabbed her
self in the heart after leaving a note
for him that she killed herself that he
might fight for his country. Wives
voluntarily deserted their husbands
that the men might be free to enter the
army, and one correspondent says that
countless women have unflinchingly
faced restitution that their husbands
might go to the front.
Such acts excite sympathy and ad
miration for the heroic women Of ia
pan. 1t is also noticeable in contrast
that no such stories have come from
Russia. Indeed, it is rather remark
able that the women of Russia have
taken comparatively little interest in
the war; the difference suggesting that
the love of monarch and country among

Terrible ScOurge Coming.

One of the worst scourges that has de-
wasted the growing crops and timber
lands since the scourge OF the great army
worm, nearly 40 years ago, is now going
on in sections OF Armstrong county at The
present time and threatens to destroy not
only the apples and other crops, but the
orchards as well. They are also destroy
ing forests of timber land. The work OF
the ruin was seen by the writer last Mon
day in Kiskiminetas and South Bend
townships where a green worm, which is
known to most persons as the tailor or
measuring worm, is at work in armies of
billions of number. They cut the leaves
from the stem and leave the orchard look
ing black and burnt like, as when the
frost has robbed it, except that the stem
of the leaves add blend to the dark
color. No remedy has been found and
the scourge is so great and has assumed
such an alarming phase that state aid has
been asked in hopes that some general
and concerted work may be commenced
by the aid and knowledge gained by the
state colleges in the study of pests Of this
kind and state aid financially TO helpsave
the forests and fruit trees of the state as
it is claimed the worms actually kill the
trees. We do not know to what extent

TORTOISE SHELL.
In Working Ii Gentle Hent and Pres
sure Are Mainly Used.

In Working II Gentle Hent and Pres
sure Are Mainly Used.
\ tortoise shell is harder and more
brittle than ordinary horn. Heat and
pressure are practically the only means
which can be employed in working it..
and it is impossible to work tortoise
shell ut great heat, since the coloring
pigment easily liquefes and obscures
the shell, thereby greatly lessening its
value. Heavy pressure is also impos-
sible owing to its brittle character.
The plates of the carapace. or N.ck
shell, are first separated from the skel-
eton by the application of gentle heat
and then flattened by II similar proc
ess. The superficial irregularities are
next rasped off, and the material is
polished, ready for molding into any
desired shape.
Larger or thicker plates are produced
by process which requires great care
and attention. Two surfaces are first
rasped and cleaned and are then gen
tly heated and pressed together The
heat liquefies them, and the pressure
effects perfect union, making an In
visible joint.
Tortoise shell combs are cut by the
highly ingenious twinning machine so
called because two combs are cut from
the same plate, so that the teeth of one
dovetail into the spaces of the other,
avoiding all waste.

BANNS OF MARRIAGE.
Custom That Dates Back TO the

A Custom Tint Dates Back TO the
Primitive Christian Church.
The custom of publishing the banns
Of marriage dates back to the primi

y. d. 240, states that warning of in.
tended marriages was given among the
early Christians.
1t appears that the publication OF
bannS was habitual in many places
long before there was any general law
on the subject, since Gregory ". Q199
1916 speaks Of the banns (from Latin
bannum, a proclamation; Anglo-SaXon,
BAN being given out in church, ac.
cording to custom. The practice was
introduced into France about the ninth
century and in 1176 was enforced in
the diocese of Paris.
The earliest enactment on the sub.
ject in England was an order made In
the synod of Westminster in 300 to
the effect that no marriage should be
celebrated till the banns had been pub.
liShed in the church on three several
Sundays or feast days. This rule was
made obligatory throughout the church
by the fourth Lateran council held in
Rome in 1915. BY act of parliament
banns must now be given out in Eng
land on three Sundays.-London An

An instance of the absurdity of some
Of the notions held by our ancestors
was the notion that the ringing of the
church bells had a counteracting effect
in a thunderstorm. 1t was supposed
that the vibration of the air caused by
the movement Of the bells resulted in
the dissipation of the electric fluid in
the air. The belief was so common at
one time that the bells We're rung as
soon as signs of an approaching thun-
derstorm were seen. Science now holds
a contrary opinion. Not only does the
sound have no possible effect on the
air, but the vibration caused hy the
