WAR ON GOBLIN MOTH.

For a number of years the state eX-
pertinent station at Pullman has given
especial attention to the Goblin moth,
says a dispatch. This insect is re-
sponsible for all the wormy apples of
this region and is accordingly one of
the greatest drains on the profits of
the farmer. Throughout the state
there are apple growers who believe
that the Goblin moth cannot be over
come, or that to do so would be most
expensive undertaking. 1t was to
convince such people that the fight
against the Goblin moth is both easy
and inexpensive that the state expert
ment station has given its attention to
the matter.
During 1903 and 1904 the habits of
the Goblin moth were studied, to note
the influence of Topographic condi-
tions on the life history of the insect.
1t was found that throughout nearly
every apple growing district two dis
tinct broods of the insect occur each
year. In 1906 a practical appl cation
of the knowledge gained was made by
a treatment of 10 acres of commercial
orchard which previously had been
improbable because of worms in the
fruit. This treatment resulted In
saving of 80 per cent of the crop, and
at less expense for spraying than had
been the case when the orchard was
wormy.
Some very important conclusions
have been drawn from the study of the
Goblin moth. They show that no or
chard has been so badly infested but
that four careful sprayings Of arsen-
ate of lead will give at least 50 per
cent Of clean fruit during the first
wear of treatment. They show that
one pound of arsenate Of lead to 40
gallons of water is the most effective
strength for the spray. They show
also that an orchard surrounded by
wormy orchards can be kept free
from worms II only it be properly
sprayed. But they show also Y that
carefulness and thoroughness are es-
sential to success. The full results oi

OREGON IN HER INFANCY.

Five-sixths Of the state of oregon
has never been mapped by the United
States geological survey. Only a mar
row strip around the outer edges has
been visited by this great department
of government and all the vast inter-
ior is as much unknown to the gov
eminent engineers, as far as this
branch Of work is concerned, as the
desert of Sahara.
When this is taken into considera-
ton, something of the need of govern
ment recognition of the west is realiz-
ed. Older states have been mapped
and surveyed and stakes and monu-
ments nave been planted on almost
every section. The surfaces of the
older states are open pages of a book
which may be ready by any observ-
ant traveller.
But in the great interior Of Oregon
not familiar sign is to be seen. To-
Biography, elevation, water supply,
character Of soil, geological formation
all are sealed pages to the seeker
after knowledge.
Tie East Cregonian believes that
the state should increase its appro-
priation for this purpose. The gov
eminent stands ready to bear one
halt Of the expense. 1t is an opportu-
nifty 70 turn the light on Oregon's re-
sources, from a scientific and practi-
cal standpoint.

STOCK EXCHANGE SEATS.
Points of Vantage Where Millions
Are Made land LosO While You
Matt.

| In keeping with the recent remark
able rise in stock prices in this coun-
try is the rapid advance in rates at
which New York Stock Exchange
seats are selling. The membership Of
the Exchange is strictly limited to
| LOO, and seats are therefore objects
OF ardent desire on the part Of many
| hundreds of market operators, to
whom membership would be mate
rally valuable. A month ago a seat
sold for $4,000, record price. A few
days ago membership rights were sold
for $4,000 and one seat was bought
at the unprecedented price Of $4,000.
1t is believed that if there is another
transaction of this character soon the
price will reach 100000, or somewhat
more than so per cent greater than
the rate at which seats were sold two
years ago. In 1872 Stock Exchange
seats sold for $4,000, and this was re-
garded as high.
An idea of the reason why Wall
Street operators are anxious to OBJ
tain the right to transact their bust
ness on the floor of the Exchange
is gained from the fact that the stock
transactions nowadays average close |
upon 100000 shares day. If every |
member Of the Exchange were active, |
and if the business were evenly di- |
vided, such daily business would give
to each member a commission upon
about 900 shares, amounting to
yearly income of $4,000. This is, of
course, entirely apart from individual
operations and profits.
These Stock Exchange seats are re-
garded as assets. There has been in
the past some trading in them for the
sake Of the profits gained by the rise
in the rate, but the tendency was dis
couraged by rigid enforcement of the
rule that the purchaser must be &C
ceptable to the governors of the Ex-
change. Men now sell their seats only
for urgent reason, such as failure of
health, or removal to other fields. In
the latter case the New York seat is
more profitably turned into
cash, at the high rates now prevailing,
than to be held for future use. When
a member of the exchange dies, his
sell his seat for the highest |
rate. The bidding is often
spirited, and some of the most strik-
ing advances in the record prices have |
been scored in this way.

very name became a term of derision.
She was caricatured insulted, jeered at
and maligned. In the early days of the
movement Women's Rights was the
synonym for dress reform, for neglect

tendencies and for unwomanly women.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was Miss
Anthony's earliest ally. Together they
conducted one campaign after another,
seemingly making but little Roadway
at first. They travelled all over the
country, going from place to place in
open wagons, stage coaches or what
ever other conveyance was obtainable
and from door to door on foot. They
endured many hardships and were sub
jected to insults innumerable. People
said of them that Mrs. Stanton made
the balls and Miss Anthony fired them
She proved her good craftsmanship by
making every ball count.

Miss Anthony was arrested and fined
for illegal voting in 1872. She had
cast ballot at the election. She never
paid the fine. Since then four states
have granted the right of suffrage to
women; % states have given them the
right to vote at school elections, and
New York permits women taxpayers tc
vote on all questions affecting the tax

TRIUMPH FOR ROOT
GERMANY'S NEW TARIFF ACT
ALLOWS SMALLEST RATE ON
AMERICAN GOODS.

Securing This Unlocked For Conces-
sion Makes Secretary of State a
Diplomat of First Rank-Gefman
Market Priced.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1906-03-24

schedules of the new imperial tariff
against American goods, thus averting
tariff war with the United States, is
the climax to a protracted interchange
of correspondence between Secretary
Root and Ambassador Sternberg, in
which Secretary Root has achieved his
first great feat of pure diplomacy.
The success of the State Department
in obtaining for another sixteen months
equal consideration in the German
trade with other governments that have
made great concessions to obtain the
minimum tariff in Germany, without
any amelioration of our schedules
against German goods entering this
country, ranks as one of the notable
works OF statecraft in several decades
of the recent history of the American
foreign Office. Had Secretary Root not
already given ample promise of being
a diplomat Of the first class, he would
now be hailed as the new stellar light
in international politics.
All Done in a Month.
Only a month before the action of the
reichstag, the German government was
still apparently memorable in it's posi-
ton that the maximum rates would be
enforced on March 1.
In the light Of the reichstag's action,
at the earnest solicitation of Chancellor
Won Buelow, one might be led to think
colossal bluff had been attempted, and
pushed to the last moment by Germany
But this, it is understood here, Is not
the case. The seed of education as to
the result of the tariff war, which Mr.
Root had been sowing, did not sprout
until within the last few weeks; then
its growth was rapid.
Realizing that Mr.. Root was thor
oughly familiar with all the premises
and sound in his understanding of what
the results would be of any course pur.
sued by Germany, and that he could
not be shaken from his position OF
polite regret that no concession was
possible at this nnd of the wire, the
German statesmen quickly went to
their reichstag, and had legislation
passed deferring the trouble.
Had the department here shown
signs OF hysteria, or had Secretary
Root not fully appreciated the several
angles Of the case. or had he made ex
cited efforts to have Congress act hur
riedly in giving Germany concessions
before March 1. the Germans would
have decided that the United States
could be coerced bv actually applying
] the maximum tariff, but Mr.. Roots
placid explanations that nothing at al
could be done here, either before OF
after March 1, had an exceedingly
nuieting effect upon German tarin
opinions.
Secretary Roots imDassive attitude
which was so remarkably effective In
this case. is all the more notable. in

that hive come to Washington from

Miss AnthOny's Remarkable Bat
tie, Against RidicuIe and
CaIumny.

Susan Brownell Anthony was born
IS years ago in the Hicksite Quaker
settlement at South Adams, Mass, and
was as quiet and gentle and obedient a
little Quaker maiden as any OF her
playmates in that tranquil spot. Her
life was uneventful until she took up
teaching and went out into the world.
She was 26 years old when she made
her first fight for the right OF suffrage.
It was for the right to vote at tenn
perance meeting which was dominated
by young men. The Sons of Temper
ance were holding a convention at
Albany n. Y. and the Daughters OF
Temperance were invited to meet with
them. Susan was one of the Daugh-
ters who accepted the invitation. Ear
ly in the proceedings the young women
discovered that their position in the
convention was purely an honorary
one. The men did not propose that
they should have any voice In the pro
ceedings. 1t was against scripture
and against her natural sphere that
woman should raise her voice in the
councils Of men, were the arguments
of the men In answering the protests
of the women and in refusing their
petition to be allowed to vote.
Suddenly a tall, slender Quaker girl
arose from her seat and, followed by
Six others, marched out of the convent
zion hall. The leader was Susan b
ANTHONY. It was her first rebellion
against that order of things which
gave men a monopoly OF power. She
Immediately set about organizing the
Women's New York State Temperance
Society. That was the real beginning
of what has been her life's work In
which the central theme has ever been
equal suffrage for the sexes.

Great Courage to Withstand Rebuffs

1t required great courage to under
take this work at the time and in the
manner she did. But she possessed
that requisite and exercised it on
many occasions. She never faltered,
never lost heart, though she was con.
stantly subjected to ridicule, calumny
and opposition. Few women were
brave enough to follow her in those
days. In 1852 she addressed a large
convention of men teachers. A clergy
man who was present complimented
her afterwards.
"You spoke ably and WE'LL" he said,
"but l had rather see my mother
and sister dead in their graves than
to hear them speaking from public
platform"
Increasingly she preached the doc
trine of woman's suffrage and equal
rights. Few, even among women them
