When the crazy law makers now in session in
Atlanta get through with their fanaticism, the
good people of the state should come together and
pass resolution endorsing the ten commandments.
-Waycross Evening Herald.
The law makers not crazy and really there
is no increase in the number of fanatics among
them, but the wave of reform is usual, is about
to carry them to extremes.
Much of the work they are doing has been need
ed long time but impossible under the condi'
tons until the reform wave swept aside sufficient
number of those who stood against reform to make
the legislation possible.
The election of legislature with a large ma
ority of reformers gives free hand to the leaders
who are likely to go, and seem to be bent on going
to the extreme.

The old Mosaic law said '"Thou shalt not kill"
The unw1itten law of the South has succeeded
that 1t reads: "Kill whenever you think you
have been injured. "-AmerIcuS Times Recorder.
Without intending to defend the ''unwrtten
law, even by implication, we most respectfully
submit that the above paragraph is Islander on
the South. According to our understanding and
Interpretation of the F'unwrtten law, " it also mis-
represents that much abused Institution. The sun
written law of the South" as we understand 1T,
has to do with but one character of injury only,
and to say that it reads ''Kill whenever you think
you have been injured, " is entirely too broad All

The New York Globe.
United States senator whose wealth is but
$50, 900! Surely there must be some mistake about
the news from Macon, Ga, which fixes the fortune
of Senator Bacon at the foregoing figure and says
it will all be swept away as the result OF local
bank failure.
Much is heard of the millionaire senator He
is constantly thrust under our noses-the implica-
ton being that there is no other kind. When
other topics fail the Washington space writer falls
back on the socalled ''Millionare's Club STANCE
the senators who are not millionaires-not even
rich-are so little exlpoited!
Yet Senator Bacon is far more typical of the SEN
ate of fact than is Senator MOneybags of fancy.
A recent informal inquiry showed that there were
about twenty-iv senators practically dependent
on their salaries and about twenty five more whose
personal fortunes averaged less than $780, 900 each

All Hail, The Devil.

In his address to the grand jury, Judge HugeS
said that he was once printers devil and was not
ashamed of it.
The reporter must surely have made a mistake
in taking that down. 1t would be more like the
Judge to say thathe had once been printers devil
and be proud of it. There is something about the
devilship of a newspaper that clings to man like
a birth mark To be ashamed of having served in
that capacity would be evidence of littleneSs of
mind and a dullness of comprehension that no one
would charge against the judge. If we could sound
the depths of Judge Hughes memories we would
find none sweeter than the days of his devilhOod.
If we could bring under his nOStrilS all the sweet
orders and spices of Araby, none would beso CRATE
full to his sense as the smell of printing office My
fine gentleman who keeps packets of lavender in
his wardrobe might despite the penetrating per-
fume of the benzinecan, the ink pot, the oil
barrel but to the sturdy men whose mental pap
was mbibed in a printing office the sweetness of
the rose does not compare with the grateful aroma
of the pressroom.
All hail! Brother Hughes! The Journals
editor, who has delicious recollections of devilling
things for many year, greets you. He welcomes
you to the halls of fame where the names of devils
are emblazoned among the greatest men of our
country, Where the names of premierS, presidents

BIG TIM QUITS.
Wrong Tips" and Sure Thing Wins
 Cost Him a Fortune.

Big Tim" Sullivan, hitherto ready to stake $5,000 in cold cash on the turn of card, is out with the an- nouncement that he has beeM stung, is ''sore at being a sucker" and in- tends to quit the turf. The principal reason for his disgust, is that he has dropped $130,000 this season. -.....
 Big Tim's'' attack of cold feet is not unlike the trouble that put Bet a-Million Gates on the warm needles of the pines, the only difference be- tween the two being in the size of their wagers. Gates, who is John w. in private life, who is now in Eng land looking for a better chance, would flip a million more or less on anything from the turn of card to the minute of the discovery of the north pole.
 In connection with his estimate of his losses betting on the races, Big Tim lays particular emphasis on the fact that he lost $60,00O of the big total betting on the mounts of Jockey Walter Miller. Backing Miller's mounts" for the better part of two racing seasons popularly has been looked on as the quickest and easiest method of winning money on the turf and the method for a time had such vogue that it was incorporated into various systems" which were devis- ed to beat the races.''
 Aside from his losses through back ing horses ridden by Miller, Big Tim declares that misguided friends of his, who came to him with tips, good things, and secret information from all sorts of mysterious sources, are responsible for his determination to retire from the turf. He owns horses still and is a big stockholder which conducts racing on the Ja- maica track and in his plan of retire. ment, Big Tim" has gone so far as to threaten to sell out his stock in the Jamaica race course.
 The Sullivan racing stable is that in which Frank Farrell, David . c. Johnson and Timothy D. Sullivan all were partners, though the horses were divided among the partners in SUCH Hldun3T IHdJ SOlll6 Idu III Iue name and colors of each man. The most notable horses which ran in Big Tim's" name were pr Gardner, winner of the Excelsior handicap and Siglestone,, two-year-old, with which several big betting coups were made earlier in the season. The horses of the combination stable known as the Big Three" are train- ed by Frank Weir.
 The stable, which made a most am- bilious beginning of the season, with Dr Gardner, bought last fall for $17,- 900, Roseben, Grapple and Handzar- ra, among the stars of the tried horses, and big collection of 2-year -olds.
 Big Tim's" losses, estimated by himself at $130,000, are said to be just equal, to the losses sustained by D. c. Johnson. Frank Farrell is the one member of the Big Three" whose estimate of his profits or losses still is a matter of private informa- tiOn

ABOUT INSECTICIDES.
How to Combat With the Elm Leaf
 Beetle.

Bulletin 157 of the Agricultural station in New Haven, by J. P. Street, chemist, and w. E. Britton, entomologist, discusses the Yalue of the various brands of lead arsenate and Paris green which are extensively used in, oombating the elm leaf beetle. codling moth, potato beetle and other insect pests.
 Analyses of eleven brands of lead arsenate show that some con- tain twice as much arsenic as others, and therefore. other things being equal, are twice as effective, pound for pound.
 Analyses of twelve brands Of Paris green showed more uniform com position. although one of the brands contained so much water-soluble arsenic as to make it dangerous to use, as it would certainly burn and destroy the foliage.
 Directions are given for making lead arsenate ct home. and this fresh ly made arsenate keeps in suspension in spraying mixtures better than the best commercial preparations.
 Formulas are also given for pre- pairing spraying mixtures of both lead arsenate and Paris green.
 The former is now being used largely in place of Paris green be- cause it stays in suspension better, adheres longef to the leaves and never burns the foliage. a trouble frequently experienced with Paris green.
 It should ba remembered that it is a little slower in its poisonous effects on insects and should therefore be applied rather earlier than Paris green.

DANNY MAHER's GOOD WORK.
Makes Best Percentage Among Eng
 fish Winning Jockeys.

Danny Maher. the American jockey, is now in second place on the list of winning jockeys in England and of late has improved his position greatly. Though he will hadly catch Higgs, the leader, before the season closes the Yankee lad may be depended upon to finish strong. 4 little more than a week ago Maher. had the singular experience of getting two walkovers ill succession. Though Maher is some twenty-nine wins behind the English man, the percentage of the American is better, as he won about one out of every four. while Higgs has scored about one out of every five.
 Englishmen pay no heed to the percentage and only reckon the total wins, else Maher would head the list. From the table of the leading twenty two it can be seen that little Greening is coming to the front and recently made six wins out of nine mounts in week. w. Griggs loses his five pounds apprenticeship allowance, as he has ridden fifty winners. The fol- lowing table shows the jockeys DO. -ss

It is not often the Carlisle Indians go through a season without a top heavy score against some opponent and already this season they have set mark that has a good chance of being the seasons record. This was their 91 points against Susquehan- na. Since as far back as 1904 the Indians have been belaboring Sus- quehanna, beating the latter in that year 53 to Q. Last year they beat Susquehanna AS to 0. Once they got the jump on team there is no hold ing the red men. Three years ago they beat Albright 100 to o, and last year smothered that team S2 to 0. In, 1905 they tore up Georgetown to the extent of 76 to 0 and made merry with the Pennsylvania Railroad Y. M. C. A. eleven T to 0. Their most notable achievement, however, of. re- cent years was the 24 to defeat of Pennsylvania last year-a very big total to register against an eleven of the class of the Quakers.

TACKLE HARD CIDER.

After walloping the Philadelphia Athletics yesterday, the New York Americans decided to tackle the doughnuts and cider at the Harwin ton fair to-day and play the com bined Torrinston and Winsted base ball team in Torrington tomorrow. Denny Hoffman, the famous center fielder of the Highlanders, lives in Torrington when he is not playing base ball. and he engineered the double event. Kleinow, the catcher, and Ball, the Outfelder, went to their homes in Bridgeport last night. Con- roy, Williams, Newton and Hogg went to New York, but all of these men will return for the game with the exception of Williams. Mike Martin, who didn't play yesterday, will also be there, as will Ira Thom- as, who went to his home in Collins vile last evening.
