MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WAR.
Insects Cause Loss of S-o0. .0OO. .0O0 Annually to Farm Crops, Ac-
 cording to EntomoIogist.

Washington, May 23-Some start ling facts regarding the annual losses sustained by farm crops as a result of the depredations of beetles borers plant lice. Hessian flies. bill bugs wire worms. grasshoppers and other insect pests have been gathered by C. L. Marlatt, an entomologist in the de partment of agriculture. lie declares that the destruction 10 various crops by these insects amounts 10 s700 000,- GOO year, or more than the entire annual expenditure of the government, including the pension roll and the cost of maintaining the army and navy.
 Mir Mariatt says that to one familiar with the work Of these insects it is an easy matter 10 approximate the prob able shrinkage in crop values due to their activities. He places the tax which they impose on growing and maturing crops at $500 900 .000. and adds s200. o0o,000 to cover the losses suffered by cereals and forage crops in storage and destruction 10 natural forests and forest products.

WAS THE GALLONS CHEATED?
Sensational Story That Dummy Was substituted For Ex-
 Mayor McCue.

Norfolk, Va. May 22.-There is some doubt that Mayor Samuel MeCue, the wife murderer of Charlottesville. Va. really was hanged. The Growler, a weekly political publication of this city, prints a story to the effect that a New York man travelling in Canada saw band of immigrants on their way to Oklahoma and that McCue. dis guised was among them
 The latest development in the case came in a telegram from Oklahoma City, Okla. Ii is claimed that McCue never did ascend the scaffold at Char lottesville, but 6 dummy was shol through the drop instead Sheriff Rog- CTS. who had charge of the execution of McCue. says that the ex-mayor was surely hanged.

Americans in Canada.

Farmers of the northwest occasion. ally decide to try their fortunes in similar work on the other side of the international boundary line. but 1t Is yet to be shown that they have bene- fted by the change. There are about as many accounts of people returning from as Of going into the new country, and it is clear that a change of base should not be made without careful preliminary investigation that VIII fully acquaint the homeseeker with what he is to encounter. Beyond doubt, says the Spokane Review, there Is an extensive area Of fine agri- cultural land in the western provinces of Canada, and 1t is destined To sup port a large and prosperous popula- iion. Many who have crossed the line and have taken up homes there have probably improved their condition. But no farmer should give up good thing unless he is certain of getting 2 better thing, and the average farm CT of the Pacific northwest will prob ably be disappointed if he expects to Go better or be more comfortable in the dominion. Thousands of people have left the sterile or wornout lands ot the eastern states and to them the virgin soil of Alberta and other Cana dian provinces has been revelation. They have been able to raise large crops. and, despite the isolation, have enjoyed reasonable measure of pros. perity, with all the comforts that could be expected by pioneers in remote section of the land. But when a farm CT in the northwest states leaves fer tile acres and an agreeable climate for land that is no better and climate noted for severe extremes he is doing what his best judgment should tell him is a mistake.

A MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM
The Attention of Congress Will be Called to the Hordes of tndesira-
 bie Foreigners Pouring In.

Washington, May 23.-President Rooseyelthas taken up the immi grafton question. and is preparing to call # to the attention Of congress and to the country.
 The president believes that one ot the most serious problems now con- frontin. the American people is how to deal with the hordes Of undesirable immigrants Europe is pouring upon our shores.
 During the fiscal year which ends June 90 all immigration records will be broken. h those F months well or toward million steerage passen- gers will have arrived in the United States, looking for homes or work. The greatest number arriving in any pre- vious year was s57,046, during the F months ending June l, 1909. For 1904 the total was S12,s7o. and for 1905 il
 These are appalling figures. They are the more appalling when they are analysed and their significance fully understood. They mean that in sin gle year there pours into the country a multitude of people. poor Of purse and many of them poorer yet in qual- ifioations for citizenship, equal to or greater than the present population of 1 IS states of the United States. President Roosevelt is carefully ! studying collection of reports bear ing upon immigration. with the inten- tion of urging consideration of the problem upon congress al an ear day

The Best Defense.

When a man accused of misdoing is brought to trial in court it sometimes happens that the prosecution is able to produce a considerable quantity of testimony tending to establish his guilt, even though he Is entirely in nocent; and the disinterested student of the case may find it difficult to de termiDe what portion of the evidence submitted by the state is genuine and how much is manufactured by wit nesses who have a personal motive for securing conviction. In all such in stances, says the Chicago Post, edi- toriaIly, particularly where only cir cumstantial evidence is offered to sus- tain the indictment, the value of a best possible shield against the in situations and implications of the prosecution. When man has lived an upright and worthy life among his neighbors for years. it is the best oi circumstantial evidence in his favor that can be produced. Men do not suddenly reverse themselves. It is true there are plentiful references to Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde in the newspa- pers, and there may be few such cases in real life; but usually there are as many who know the MT. Hyde as there are who are acquainted with the Dr. Jekyll; so that, if man should stand publicly accused of wrongdoing, there would be as many come forward to testify against him as there would be to give evidence in his favor.

Let not the plodding citizen who goes to bis trade or profession every day, and to church once on Sunday, and takes a walk into the green fields Sunday after noon, getting enough money to keep himself and his family fairly well fed, housed and clothed. and able to keep the children well enough dressed to go to school, go into the blues every time he reads sbout big operator making q ,000,00 or so at single turn of the market. Beloved brother. not all oi these stories are true, says the Cincin- natl Enquirer. Perhaps large ma jority of them are fictitious.
