The side seats in the o o'clock down

The President and the Railroads.

The President and the Railroads.
The attitude of President Roosevelt
TO the railroads has been stated so
often that it should not be necessary
to repeat it, and yet il suits the pur-
pose of a certain class of people to be
continually disappearing him and TO
create the impression that he is hostile
TO degree threatening the very pros
perity of the country The object OF
these attacks is manifest. The men
making them have been reaping Height
mate profits by methods to which the
President is opposed and which he
aims TO correct. Now finding their
game exposed. and the hope of immu-
nifty in the enjoyment Of ill-gotten
gains almost destroyed. they would dis
credit the man who is chiefly respon-
sible for the reform.
But fortunately there are few of
these frenzied flnanciers who would
now become copsiprators. Many rail
read men who have profited by condi-
tons have allied themselves with the
President and in the main approved
his purpose. They see in his efforts
no hostility to railroads as such, but
opposition to system which, If left
unchecked, will one of these days result
in n revolution of serious import They
realize that he would restore the
equilibrium, so that railroads will re-
ceiye their just reward and no more.
so that shippers will be placed on an
equal footing SO that stockholders of
the railroads as well us stockholders
of the big corporations doing business
with the railroads, will receive every
one his fair proportion of the dividends.
As every one knows, through the me-
dunn of rebates and determinations,
the few have been able to take much,
while the many have been given little.
The stakeholder of a railroad who also
enjoys the privileges which the big ship
per has been able to demand, gets his
dividends through these privileges and
at the expense of those stockholders
who do not chance to be shippers. The
President is convinced that our indus
trial prosperity cannot submit TO such
buccaneering tactics and endure, and
he has received popular support such
as was never before accorded Presi-
dent in any administrative work
At first there was general protest
from railroad circles But gradually
the honest and progressive managers,
taking careful account of the Presi-
dents purpose. have been won over,
and while there may be differences of
a minor character. the principle is en-
dorsed.-Toledo Blade.

Since 1901 there has been in Nebras-
ks, according to reports issued by the
Lincoln Experiment Station, a success
sion of unusually wet springs and sum-
mers, which have resulted in the pro-
digious increase of number OF insects
detrimental TO the wheat crop, and
these for a time threatened to COM
pietely ruin the crop of 1904-1905. As
il was, TIE State suffered loss of near
ly 100000 bushels OF wheat at that

ture of the injury done by them. and
the methods of control of each. The in
sects thus considered are the Hessian
fly, the wheat stem-magg ot, the fritz
flies, the wheat nudge, the wheat straw
worm, and wheat joint-worm. the stalk
borer and the wheat louise.
Pre-eminent among these Is the Hes
sian fly, which became so alarmingly
formidable in the fall of 1904. This
insect has been present In the State
since 1867, varying in abundance from
year to year, but becoming very abun-
dant and harmful during wet seasons
1t is double brooaed, and destroys the
wheat by the larvae lodging between
the sheath and the stem and absorbing
the plant juices. The important pre-
ventives against its attacks are late
sowing, and burning of the stubble,
while rotation of crops and the de-
struction Of volunteer grain are strong
ly recommended also. Such additional
methods as the direct application OF
poisons or repellants, the planting of
decoy strips. the blowing under Of in
tested wheat, pasturing, growing resist
ant varieties of wheat and the proper
management of soil and seeding are dis
cussed and commented upon with spe-
cial reference to local conditions.
The wheat stem-maggot has proved
to be q very destructive insect also,
and the burning of waste grass lands
in winter is necessary to control it, as
it infests certain wild grasses as well
as wheat Against the wheat-midge the
deep blowing of the ground after har-
vest and the burning of useless chaff
after threshing is recommended. The
burning of the stubble is the most ef-
fective measure against the wheat
straw-worm and wheat joint-worm. The
stalk borer and wheat louise, while de-
structive, seem to be well controlled by
their natural parasites.

Unless business conditions change
there will be no general demand for
a change in economic and fiscal legis-
lation. AS TO the tariff, Mr.. Cleveland
cherishes a memory and an academic
hobby. The great mass Of workingmen
and business men are unresponsive to
the call for a disturbance of an exist
ing favorable industrial situation.
There IS likely to be tariff legislation
of some kind In 1909-10, but it will
not involve radical changes in sched-
ules, and certainly not in the protective
principle So that, while Mr.. Cleveland
regards the reform OF the tariff as
absolutely fundamental" the country
will hold as absolutely secondary in inn
portance.-Burlington Hawkeye.

The study of immigration.

Acting under the authority of Con-

Obviously there can Be no objection
TO the influx OF desirable aliens, peo-
pie who seek to establish and maintain
homes in this country and who come
here prepared to obey our laws and up
hold our institutions. But, unfortu-
eately, large proportion of this i'm
migration is undesirable, and there is
more than a suspicion that their de
parture from their native countries is
encouraged. If they are paupers or
criminals, it is the duty of the nation
Of their nativity to take proper care
Of them, and it is the bounden duty of
this government to see that they are
not dumped on our people.
In this work the government should

people, who, while they have accepted
the new allegiance, still have a pardon
