LOBSTER MORTALITY HIGH.
Out OF Brood OF 10000 Rarely More
Than One or Two Young Ones
Reach Maturity,

A lobster lays thousands Of eggs. most
Of which hatch. but few ever live to grow
up. This, says an article on Mature and
Science" in st. Nicholas, is not the
fault OF the mother, for she carries them
about with her for nearly a year. and
with admirable instinct guards them a.
she does her own life, When the young
are set free, her duty is done, for they
must then shift for themselves Though
hardly larger than mosquitoes. being
about ons-third OF an inch long, the little
ones leave their parents on the bottom
and swim toward the light-to the sur
face, where. from one to two months, II
fortune favors them. they lead q free,
rowing life. The open sea is poor nurs-
cry for such weddings, which becomes
the sport of every storm and the prey
OF numberles hungry mouths. Out OF a
brood Of 10000 1t would be a rare chance
for more than one or two Holsters to
reach maturity. or finally to end their
career In the kitchen or the chahne
dish.

sTRAINING Ar a GNAT.

1t is a pity that the state administra-
ton is not as prompt and summary in
dealing with thief in high Office like
T. T. Kelly as it was in dismissing Dr..
C. s. Newton from a minor position for
technical offense. 1t would show so
much more of a sense of justiee-not
to mention being more just in itself
besides being an object lesson to 9TH
ers who are inclined to go wrong.
There is considerable dust stirred up
over this Newton matter 1t has been
magnified far beyond it's importance, in
view of other matters that are up tc
the administration for action. There is
no charge against DR.. Newton that the
state has been defrauded, that the in
mates of the Winfield asylum, of which
he is superintendent have been mis-
treated, or that the management of the
institution itself has been anything but
praiseworthy. The charges against
Newton involve Irregularities in the
drawing of money and in the purchase
of horse and buggy and bookcase
for the asylum. The state Journal can
not endorse the things done by Newton,
for they were not in strict accordance
with law, and if permitted they would
lead to any amount of petty grating
Oll Tie part VI UlS1OuSSL peISOllS-
But why should all this fuss be made
about Newton when grafters and
thieves higher up are allowed to go I'M
punished, and are left in a position to
pursue their thefts?
The entire amount involved on the
Newton matter is less than $500. T. T.
Kelly has embezzled thousands of dol
lars, and has repeatedly violated the
tit
he has done. If punished for his crimes
Kelly would be behind the bars, yet he
is allowed to remain in charge of the
states funds and Governor Hoch ex-
presses his regret that his duty obliges
him to compel Kelly to give new
bond!
1t took the new board of control less
than thirty days to learn of the charges
against Newton, investigate him. and
notify him of his dismissal. Yet Gov
ernor Hoch has been seven months in
office; he knew of the charges against
Kelly long before he went into office;
he had placed in his hands at the start
a detailed report showing where there
were tremendous shortages in the state
treasury which he could have verified
in a very short time; he knew an about
grossly violated the law; and he had
SIS, 200 placed at his disposal last win
ter to make a thorough investigation of
the treasury, but he delayed starting it
for months.
It's a pity some of the energy of the
board of control cannot be applied to
the state treasury embezzlements.
Kelly loaned A. A. GODDARD $4,000 of
the states money to finance the in
iquitous Comanche bond deal, and he
actually paid GODDARD interest on that
money out of the state treasury for the
time GODDARD was using it to an amount
almost equal to all that is involved in
the Newton affair! Yet Mr.. Kelly was
not molested and neither was Mr.. God
ard arrested.
Isn't the administration straining at
gnat and swallowing a camel?

THEY DON'T MEAN TT.

According to the Washington Star,
this is the season when statesmen can
throw bouquets at one announcer with
out being taken seriously. They don't
mean anything. A Democrat can
praise Republican now and it won't
be brought up against him when he
turns around and abuses the same
Democrat like a pirate in the next
campaign. A Republican can tell a
Democrat what a good official he is,
but the voters are not expected to re-
member it the next time they go to
the polls.
This may seem like insinceritv to
plain, common folks if the Stars
theory is correct, but it isn't 1t is
only politeness. The Stars observa-
tons were brought out by the recent
exchange of compliments between
Governors Hoch and Folk. 1t says:
Governor Hoch of Kansas recently
met Governor Folk of Missouri in a
social way and the two men frater-
nized very cordially. 1t is not report
ed, or likely. that the conversation
opened after the fashion in which the
governor of North Carolina once
greeted the governor of South Caro-
lima, but it grew interesting, and
later the Kansan, in speaking of the
| Missourian, said that he would make
an excellent president of the United
States. From this somebody jumped
! to the conclusion that Governor Hoch

THE SPIRIT OF IT.

1t is stated in certain quarters that
the officers of the First National bank
have not technically violated the fed
eral banking laws prohibiting the loan
ing of more than ten per cent of a
banks capital to any one Individual.
This in the face of the fact that C. J.
more than $1,2OO,OOO, while its capital
is only 100000.
This is explained by saying that the
regular loans made Mr.. Devlin were
divided up among his twenty-sfx COM
panies, and that much of what he is
liable to the bank for was in the shape
of paper that the bank took up, and
that others are endorsements which
Mr.. Devlin made for other people.
This, it is explained, does not count
as loans.
This may be technically correct, but
look at the spirit of the thing. The
law was intended to prevent any in
dividual from becoming indebted to a
bank for an amount more than ten per
cent of it's capital. Yet in this in
stance Mr.. Devlin is indebted to the
bank for four times its capital, of forty
times the amount the law intended
This was accomplished by means of
a multitude of companies. in each of
which Mr. Devlin was the leading
for others, or by the bank taking up
paper of Mr.. Devlin's which he was
not able to carry.
1t is very clear that the spirit of the
law was grossly violated at any rate.

Costly Crop Pests.

The proceeds from the wheat crop, the
average annual farm value of which
may be roughly put at four hundred
million dollars, have in more than one
year been cut down as much as so per
cent as a result of the ravageS of the
chinch bug and the Hessian fly. King
Cotton alone was damaged to the extent
of nearly so million dollars by the So
called Mexican boil weevil, in the single
state of Texas, in 1903, according to a
carefully compiled report issued by the
census bureau. The apple crop has been
reduced as much as 25 per cent in many
seasons through the operations of the
codling moth and other insects. So one
might go through the entire list. The
burden is Interestingly heavy, but it is
safe to assert that farmers themselves
who obviously, ought to know as much
of this phase of the matter as anybody
will agree that their losses, in practi-
cally every instance, would be far
greater were the scientific knowledge of
the department of agriculture'S staff
not put to account. A careful survey
of the facts leads to the conclusion that
the total damage each year would be
from two to four times as large were
it not for the department of agricul-
lures unrenitting warfare against the
pests, and that a maximum annual de-
struction of two billion dollars, or near
ly one-half the whole yearly value of
the country's crops, at present, would
be possibIe.-C. Arthur Williams in
Success Magazine.

The kaiser seems to realize the value

What the department of agriculture

is some pruning and budding to bring
it up to the proper standard. It has
