IN THE BUG B11Es

New England is in the pie belt, but
all is not pie in New England The
gypsy moth is eating Massachusetts,,
and the San Jose scale is eating Yer
mont. The presence of the San Jose
scale In Vermont was first noticed
about eight years ago by an entomolo-
gist. It was not then supposed that the
scale would ever become a serious pest
in Vermont owing to the severe winter
climate. Vigorous measures were adopt
ed to rid the orchard in Western Char
lotte, where the insect was discovered,
Of the pest, but investigation recently
showed that the scale had been able
to survive both climate and the treat
ment given It, and it is now a thing
to be guarded againsts by all owners
of orchards.
So far the chief bug ravages in Con-
necticut are those Of the humbug, but
It is not at all likely that we shall es-
cape the attentions of the other bugs
that seem to have decided that New
England is good place to settle in
Perhaps before the Connecticut legis-
lature adjourns it should create bug
commission. Then everybody. and per.
haps the bugs, too, could feel safer.

lives in a small town and has been
friend of the town system Of represent
alton. He says in part: at is fact
they tell me that no legislation can
pass the house unless it Is approved by
the Farmers Alliance and few skilful
manipulators can handle that Farmers
Alliance-this is worse than any lobby
that ever menaced US. It strikes me
that the only remedy is a peaceful rev.
olution. If the people should rise in
their majesty and in orderly and legal
manner vote to do away with the pres
ent constitution and adopt new one,
who is going to interfere?"

townsmen of the State of Connecticut
gone mad? Their nerves will be steadied

ed state OF affairs as to make chaos
easy and order impossible. In the
case of the proposed State bond issue
of s6,5OO,OOO for improved roads and
new State buildings, only those are
capable of passing intelligently upon it
who have by reason of their legisla-
tive positions studied it. The people
have no intimate knowledge of the

ton in this referendum agitation is,

ernment for an experiment?

MORE VEroEs.

Governor Woodruff continues to send
in hot vebes over the plate which are
caught and passed back to him by the
legislature. He will be known in his
tnry II be does not have care as Con-
necticut's veto governor, as Buckjpg-
ham was known as Connecticut's war
governor
1t Is rather odd that Governor Wood
ruff and the General Assembly cannot
see things In the same light. 1t would
be different if he was undertaking to
introduce novel ideas into the govern
nent Of the State. AS matter Of fact
he is very old-fashioned in his Ideas
and cannot adjust himself to the new
fashioned Idea that public service cor
poratlons are tools designed to milk
the public.
1t As probable that as result of the
refusal Of the General Assembly to
respect the governors vetoes larger
public interest may be taken in the
constitutional provision which makes
that official powerless in his effort to
protect the public against corporate in
vasion. The executive veto in the State
Of Connecticut to-day amounts to less
than nothing.

The difficulties of drawing the line
somewhere" are beautifully illustrated
in the so-called post mortem inspec-
tion" controversy now raging between
the livestock commission men and the
meat packers. The packers have been
demanding the privilege Of being ex~
cused from paying for cattle found af-
ter slaughter to be diseased. The ranch~
men and their commission agents OBJ
ject TO this, urging that the packers
have no reason to demand more than a
rigid ante norton inspection and the
right to tag all suspected cattle and
turn them over to the government in
spectors, to be handled for the account
OF the owner on the same terms on
which diseased cattle are now handled
The rule of caveat emptor is hard to
apply here satisfactorily, because of the
Shall diseased steer be one which
manlfests some symptoms of decrepi-
tude while still steer? Or shall 1t be
one whose carcass, under the Argus
eyes of the biological microscope, is
found tainted with wicked baciili? Or
shall 1t be one which causes govt in the
grandchildren of those who eat OF it?
If the pure food theory Is applied con-
sistently, the packers ought to be re-
leved OF the trouble OF paying for cattle

WANT rvDo-yAPAsEsE ALLIANCE.

There Is an Anglo-Japanese alliance,
but undeterred by that fact the lead
ers Of the anti-British agitation In In
dia are doing their best to enlist the
sympathies. Of the Japanese in their
movement. For some time they have
been insisting, in their press organs,
that the Japanese by their victory over
Russia have put an end to the notion
that the Oriental, as compared with
the European, Is deficient in bravery
and intelligence. A good many of
these agitators are students In various
technical schools and colleges in
Japan, and are industriously pushing
their political propaganda. They are
proclaiming everywhere that the bene-
fetal effect OF British rule in the de-
velopment of indian civilization has
been vastly overrated. British admins
tration, they say, is often attended by
the grossest injustice, and the country
instead Of being satisfied with the gov
eminent, Is really hotbed Of smould-
ering revolution.
There seems to be reason for believ-
ing that these agitators have succeed
ed in creating an impression among
certain classes of the Japanese and
some Of the less influential newspa-
pers. At all events, Count okuma, at
a recent garden party to number Of
Indian students, thought it worth
while, in a welcoming address, to
speak in warm terms of the good work
wrought by the British administration
in India, and to warn the students
against the folly of attempting to
overthrow 1t, or Of cherishing schemes
which could only result in their own
discontinue.

CAvsr111 Buy BREAD AND B UTTER

Not long ago we were told that, ow-
ing to the lack of prosperity in Wall
street, orders for five hundred auto
mobiles had been cancelled, And the
report of the appraiser of the port of
New York for May shows that the APP
praised value of precious stones and
pearls imported in that month reach
ed only $2,sS1,435, in comparison with
$4,O2l,4O5 in the corresponding period
of 1906
1t is saddening to think that every
body can't have what everybody
wants, but in spite of the falling off
in the buying Of automobiles and
precious stones the country as a
whole continues to be able to buy
things. The Bowery Savings Bank
has got $1OO,OOO.OOO of the money of
depositors slowed away for a really
pinching time, and savings banks all
over the country never had such big
money on hand as they have now. OF

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

1t is good thing that the Connecti-
cut system of government has fallen
under such lively consideration The
people are having their attention d.
rected at the slow process by which the
power to do things is being abandoned
by the General Assembly and handed
over to commission. The idea of re-
ferring the work of the legislature to
the people is being advanced. The
fact that the people of the State are
handicapped by the power Of the small
towns has always been recognized. And
at last the Farmers Association has
been organized upon a permanent
basis 1t is time the question was ask
ed, What are we coming to in the good
old state Of Connecticut, the Mother
of the written constitution?
There is reason for the belief that
reforms in government or improve
ment are preceded by experiences of a
bitter character. Practically every ad-
vance which has been made in the
State of, Connecticut has been thus
preceded by expensive errors of judg-
ment and mistakes ia initiative, and
it begins to look as if like experience
will be necessary to demonstrate the
danger which turks in the power which
1t is now manifest the Farmers AS
sociation intends to WELD in the future.
we need not question the sincerity Of
the members Of the legislature who
compose this association nor need we
doubt that they feel called upon as Of
Heaven to take care of us. Men have
been sincere before this and have act
ed as under commission from on high
who have led us into serious trouble. 1t
is their judgment with which we have
to deal and the inevitable manner in
which 1t works out in deed. From that
point Of view, the Farmers Association
OF Connecticut is sure to make for mis-
chief unless 1t is quietly disbanded be-
fore the organization of another Gen
eral Assembly, The people of the State
cannot afford to let sincere but mis-
guided men lead them to the brook to
drink Of the waters of discomfort.
It has been truthfully said of this as
sociation at Hartford this Winter that
its unconscious impertinence in antici-
pating action on the part of the Cen
eral Assembly and in actually under
taking to boss it even in matters of no
especial concern to the farming inter
ests has made of 1t lobby compared
with which the professional lobby is a
kindergarten. This has been said Of it
when its existence was ephemeral and
limited to the session of the legisla-
ture. BY making 1t permanent organ
ization to deal at every session of the
General Assembly with matters of leg
lslation before it the State is suddenly
confronted by threat to rule which
cannot be endured longer than is neces
sary to prove that to be the fact; al
insolent threat to do the ruling from
among the minority of the people ant
those resident in the small towns of thu
State. No wonder that more than one
citizen Of Connecticut sympathize'
with the view which is expressed Il

What has happened to the Ancient
Order of United Workmen in Michigan
is decidedly and significantly interest
ing In Connecticut, where the insur-
ance business of the order was recently
put on sounder basis. The Michigan
grand lodge of the order has surrender
ed its charter and gone out of exist
ence 1t was the inevitable end, and the
wiser heads In the management fore
saw 1t several years ago, when the
membership voted down the only prop
osItion that would have given the Mich
igan branch of the order longer lease
of life. For years the order furnished
insurance at cost ranging from IS to
SIS thousand for all insurable ages.
II was, Of course, mathematical i'm
possibility, but the order kept on Sc
renely. Members hopefully and fall
laoiously assured each other that while
the younger men would presently grow
old and begin to die fast, the cost Of
insurance could be kept from increas-
ing by promoting the interests Of the
order and rushing in new members.

good goods cannot be sold for the price
of poor ones. Especially is this the case
in life insurance, the cost of which and

coon wE4 THEIR FOR CORN.

Good weather for corn at last. In the
wide fields the corn is joyfully wav-
ing and softly whispering, just as it
always does when the weather pleases
it and invites it, Human beings are
not joyfully waving and softly whisp-
ering. They are sadly or savagely
working and vociferously. cussing.
Awhile ago it was too cold for them.
Now 1t Is too warm for them. They do
not sympathize with corn. They like
Johnny cake, "hot + the mouth" and
some of them like corn whiskey also
hot in the mouth. But they can't be
patient with corn-weather. Fortunate
ly for them and for corn, they will
have to stand it. They may even
have to lie awake some long nights
listening to and slapping at the saucy,
singing, elusive mosquito. But even
while they are doing that the corn will
be graciously and gracefully growing
in beauty and strength, glad of the
long hot days and the long steaming
nights Then in the fulness Of time
1t will be ready to generously help
cheer and sustain the beings who re-
vile the weather which enables it to dc
them good.
Grow on, o corn, through green to
gold! Rejoice in the glowing days and
the soft nights! So shalt thou in this
time Of harvest be good corn and pu
