a LESSON NEEDED.
In case Of some notoriety In Utah,
we have heard that approach was made
TO Judge not thousand miles from
this city, demanding that he decide a
case then pending in his court, In
certain way. This approach. we hear.
was made by certain notorious partisan
politicians who urged that in the in
terests OF the party the judge should
not enforce the law against the accused
who 1t was known was Il transgressor.
1t cannot be pleaded In behalf of
these kdoor offenders that they
were 100 Ignorant 10 appreciate the
enormity OF the oiieuse which they
were committing Such a plea would
at once brand them as OF too low a
mental status to be Mt occupants OF
the distinguished stations they are mot
nlling but occupying.
The case at bar has not been con-
cluded; but we assume that when 1t is,
the judge whose integrity was thus
assailed and his pe.Son insulted will
publicly hale the offenders before him
for contempt. and administer TO them
such castigation as the blackness of their
onense deserves.
For, 1t would be impossible for any
person or set OF persons 10 put Judge
in a worse and more compromising po-
sition than these party bosses sought
to place that Judge. II he decided the
matter as they demanded for party
| reasons that 1t should be decided, these
bosses would assume that he SO decided
because OF their demands, and they
would always consider him amenable
as Judge on the bench TO their partisan
sway this no matter whether the de-
cision was conscientious and conform
able 10 law or not, nor whether he
would have been constrained TO so de-
eide in spite OF their contemptuous act
or not, or though they had not ap-
preached him at all On the other
hand, il he decided against them, they
would nurse the feeling, and give out
that he had decided so out OF resent
meut against them. and because OF
wounded dignity.
1t is one OF the meanest offenses
that man can be guilty OF TO ap-
proach a Judge as these party bosses
are said 10 have approached Judge

| acter that a fearless, aggressive Judge

GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP

Atlanta. Ga. Sept. 2.-Wlliam j. Bry-
an at the dollar dinner here last night
took up the subject OF government own
ership of railroads. He declared that he
had been brought 10 consider the cor
ruption by railroad corporation and he
came ultimately to the conclusion that
the only way to preserve the peoples
rights is TO commit the roads to govern
ment ownership and control.
II discovered" he said. that congress
has been corrupted by the railroads, not
by the use of money but by promises Of
support for the candidacy OF members
by the roads"
THE dual ownership OF roads by the
Federal and state governments he con-
sidered the only solution by which CEN
tralixation can be avoided. lie declared
that he Is more afraid OF the railroad
employees in politics than OF the govern
ment employe and quoted President
Roosevelt as saying that IL we do not
have government control Of railroads
we will have the government controlled
by the railroads.

GYPSY AND BROWN
TAIL MOTHS

Woburn, Mass. Sept. I.-Work is now
in progress under government direction
looking toward the determination OF
browntail and gypsy moths in New Eng
land, under the provisions OF the bill
passed at the last session OF congress ap-
propriating $500 for this purpose. The
greater part of this appropriation will be
expended in Massachusetts,, although a
part of il will be used for work in New
Hampshire and Rhode Island. At present
trees are being cut down and underbrush
cleared away along the highways in this
section of the state. which is the most Sc
riously infected region in New England.
Chief Entomologist L. o. Howard OF
Washington, accompanied by Prof A. II.
Kirkland. chief entomologist OF Massa-
chusetts. d. Rogers. state field agent, and
Harry Vinton, state inspector, this week
have made a tour of the districts whore
the work is being done and found that
IL was proceeding satisfactorily.
IT is planned TO leave standing only the
best trees directly along the highways
where the thinning-out process is being
carried on, and these will be at least 40
feet apart. For a hundred feet back from
the street line on each side, the under
brush will be cut away and burned and
most Of the trees will be cut down and
moth nests found on them will be painted
with creosote to prevent the eggs from
Matching.
This work will be done along state
highways I'm parts OF Woburn, Burling.
ton, Lexington, Winchester and Saugus.
and will continue until late In Novem-
ber. During the winter the moth nests
on the trees left standing in the district
covered will be destroyed. In the spring
these trees will be banded with burlap and
som sticky substance in order 10 make
1t impossible for the caterpllars to reach
the branches.
The experts are confident that these
steps will result in great dimunition OF
the pest and will go far toward bringing
il under complete control. Similar work
is being carried on by the Metropolitan
Park commission in the Middlesex Falls
and Lynn Woods reservations. One OF
the chief objects in thinning out the trees
along the highway is TO prevent moths
and caterpillars from falling on passing
autos and carriages as IL has been found
that this has been one of the most COM
mon agents IN the spread of the moths
from one town to another.

ANOTHER GRAND.S STAND
PLAY FROM CITY HALL
CONTINUED from Page One.)

lIOIl IdBc OHe.)
At present the police receive on retire
ment 45 per cent of their salaries. Some
Of the officers want a fiat pension rate
like that which obtains in the fro depart
ment.
The mayor is said TO have told repre-
sentatives OF these policemen that he
was heartily in favor OF their contention
and would do all he could 10 bring IL
about.
Accordingly, he has held several con-
ferences with Chairman Luther, whose
views on the subject are well known; !;
and today he had a talk with Commits
sioner Gross also and City Solicitor Al
bert A. Baker
Ii was understood some time ago that
the city solicitor thoHght legislation might
be necessary TO enable the commissioners
10 carry out the idea even should they
decide that II was "a good one and care
TO adopt II.
II has been discovered that the pension
provision was not drawn with such care
as might have been taken. and that there
Is some doubt Of the commissions power
TO do as the mayor suggests" though
the commissioners have some ideas Of
their own on the subject
The near approach of the congressional
convention and the state and congress
sional elections, however, makes II nee
essary that there shall be some action
urged upon the commissioners; and the
mayor Is doing the urging accordingly
thus hoping apparently, TO make another
grand stand play for votes.
The facts are that the pay Of police
officers In this city compares favorably
with the pay OF officers in other cities, a
table made n short time ago showing
that there were less than half a dozen
cities In the United States whose officers
received more than 10 paid TO the Provi-
dence police.
The patrolmen here work about nine
hours per day. including the extra time,
for which some Of them think they
should be paid instead OF turning the
money into the pension fund.
When computation was made some
time ago, II was found that the 800 men
i'm the police department had put In about
III. 600 hours OF extra duty, an average
of about two hours per day for each
man.
The fremen who receive no more pay
than do the policemen. are practically on
duty "a hours per day. and have much
less time to themselves. even including
the days off they get in the course of a
year.
All these things. Of course. must be
taken into consideration In deciding the
question whether the police pension fund
should be readjusted and how; and II is
not at all likely that the matter will be
decided before election TO further the
ambitions of any political candidate.
