Wish to See Roosevelt.

Every city and town of any conse-
quence along the route the President
will take out of Indianapolis on the
evening of May 30 has extended a
formal invitation for him to stop for
a short speech. Muncie is particular
ly anxious that a ive-minute stop
shall be made there. Secretary Loeb
is refusing to consent to any formal
arrangements for stops beyond An
derson, but it seems to be understood
that if a city or town turns out TO
greet the President he will acknowl-
edge the courtesy by saying few
words. Fl. Wayne will not be reach
ed until IL o'clock, and yet the citi-
zens of that city are anxious for a
speech Even Angola. which will not
be reached until midnight, has for
warded pressing invitation from its
various civic organizations for a stop
and a speech.

DR.. Watson and His Work.

A few years ago series of stories
of Scottish life by "Ian Maclaren"
attained great popularity in the Unit
ed States. They were tales with a
very human quality, depicting COM
monplace incidents in the lives OF
everyday people in a sympathetic
way that brought out the humor, pa
ti.os and sentiment inherent in the
events of all lives. They had also
a distinct religious flavor pleasing to
many. An interest i'll modern Scot
tish fiction had already been created
by Barrie's Window in Thrums,'
"The Little Minister" and other
books, and Maclaren's tales, also in
the dialect of North Britain, follow
ing in the same line, yet dealing with
different phrases of the life of the
people, increased the popularity OF
this class of literature until the
names of both writer's became house
hold words in this country and in
England, with Maclaren. for a time
at least, enjoying by far the greater
share of popularity. THE Bonnie
Brier Bush.' days of Aud Lang
Syne," and kate Carnegie were
everywhere known.
1t is not recalled that at any time
there was any mystery about the
authorship 1t was understood from
the beginning in literary circles thai
Tan Maclaren" was the name which
the Rev. John Watson, highly es-
teemed Presbyterian minister of Liv-
erpool, chose to attach to his pro-
auctions in fiction Since that time
Mr.. Watson has visited this country
several times and the public has be-
come acquainted with him as lectur-
sr and preacher and his more serious
books, dealing with religious life
have attracted considerable attention
DR.. Watson was not great man
in any way, yet his practical COM
mon sense, combined with a sympa-
thetic insight and gentle humor
brought him in touch, both through
his fiction and his sermons and lect-
ures, with very large number oil
people not Away easily reached, and
his influence for good was undoubted-
ly far beyond that usually attained
by ministers who have marked gifts
of oratory. His untimely death in
Iowa, while on lecture tour, thous-
and of miles from home, will cause
much regret among people far and
wide-the people of quiet places
who have leisure for noting the in
fluences for righteousness as they
come-and go.

Danger in Baby Foods.

Prepared foods and the sundry 9th
er blantly heralded baby diets on
which the billboard babies grow fat
constitute one of the gravest dangers
to those babies that can cry and get
sick, according to the advice given
by DR.. S. ]. Walker in lecture on
"The Care of Infants" at the Chicago
Academy of Science Saturday night
Dairy milk, mixed milk and pure
cream were also assailed by the
speaker as things to be eschewed He
also dealt with the means to be used
in guarding against scarlet fever
measles and all the other time-hon-
ored baby ills. "More disease is com
municated to infants through the me
dunn of milk than from any Other
cause" asserted the speaker. He
then told how mixture of milk
water, cream and sugar could b,
made which would be perfect ant
pure.
Concerning patent foods, he stated
that by reason of the starch they con
tain they are fattening and have tn,
result of rotting the digestive organs
of the infants Dr. Walker also talk
ed about the harm of sending child
rem to school at too early an age an,
said that the strain of excitement an,
concentration nearly invariably end
with either symptoms of St. Vitu
dance or tempermental ills.

Tax Ferrets Quit Work in Haste.

The tax ferrets at Columbus, Ind,
who have been at work in that coun-
ty for the last year have suddenly
quit work and gone TO Indianapolis
to consult with J. B. Workman, who
has the contract for putting the Sc
questered property of that county on
the tax duplicate. The cause of the
cessation in work here was the deci-
sion of the Indiana Supreme Court
that contracts with ferret where he

cifc appropriation for the work. were
unlawful. The ferrets worked on a
basis of 35 per cent. of all they placed
on the duplicate and their bills have
been paid promptly by the commits

PROTECTING THE ORCHARDS
A Subject of Immediate importance
To Farmers.

At the present time it is almost i'm
possible to grow fruit fit for market
without careful attention to spraying.
In season like the present, when the
unfavorable season has already badly
damaged the fruit prospect. it is inn
portant that every effort be made to
save what is lef-. Spraying is just
as essential as any other part of the
management of the orchard, and
should be practiced as regularly and
thoroughly as the owner hopes to
harvest his fruit. The iruit grower
should know very definitely, too,
what he wants to spray before going
into his orchard Indefinite spraying
rarely pays. 1t should be borne in
mind, also, that spraying is more eff
fectual as preventive than as cure.
Tree owners should not wait until
the effects of long-continued attacks
of insects or fungi show themselves
in a half-ruined orchard but should
spray regularly and conscientiously
before the ruin has been accomplish
ed if they wish to derive the greatest
benefit. 1t should be remembered that
spraying is not an orchard cure all.
1t does not take the place of good
care, pruning, ETC., and is not a REM
edy for all the ills the tree is heir to.
Fire blight of the apple and pear
is an example of a bacterial disease
which cannot be controlled by spray
ing alone.
The coddling moth probably causes
a greater loss to the apple grower of
this state than any other insect. The
first spraying for this pest, with Paris
green, should be just after the bios
SONS have fallen, so that the blossom
end of the apple will receive dose of
poison before it turns down. Arsen-
ical sprays combined with Bordeaux
mixture should be applied later, about
the middle of July. and then again
ABOUT the end of the month. By far
the worst enemy of the fruit grower
is the San Jose scale. 1t is incufn-
bent upon every farmer to become
familiar with this insect so that he
can recognize it at sight, and to in
form himself as to the best method of
dealing with it. The state experiment
station at Purdue University, Lafay-
cite, has issued very complete treat
Use on this and other orchard pests,
and persons interested can secure the
pamphlet upon request Every owner
of an orchard, large or small, should
have the information it contains, and
then put it into practice, and this Sec
ton of the country would soon be-
come noted as a fruit raising terri
tory.

A recent decision of the Appellate
Court is not very consoling to the tax
ferrets, and yet it does not altogether
knock them out of an occupation in
this state The court holds that the
ferrets connot be paid for their SER
vices except out of the money appro-
priated for the purpose by the Coun-
ty Council. If they make contract
to receive 25 per cent of the money
they recover in the way of sequester-
ed taxes they may not claim the
money unless the County Council
shall have first voted it for the pur-
pose. OF course the decision is sound
and in full accord with the county re-
form legislation passed several years
ago.
A tax ferret's occupation is not
lonely, and yet he serves purpose.
No doubt much property is concealed
from the tax gatherer and escapes its
fair share of the burden of support
ing the public. AT the same time the
employment of tax ferret is an ad-
mission of the inadequacy of the tax
law or the inefficiency of the tax
gathering authorities. Assessors are
provided under the law for both
county and township, and once prop
erty is assessed it is a fair presump-
tioin that the treasurer will collect
taxes from it. If the work of these
officials could be thoroughly done
there would be limited field for the
ferret Perhaps it is impossible that
these officials shall collect all the
money that is properly due. 1t has
been so decided at least and many
counties are now ernplo ng ferrets,
granting them very large profits, av-
ering from 25 per cent. up of all the
money they recover.
The ferret is naturally an indus
trious animal and burrows into the
affairs of the property owner in a
way highly irritating to the property
owner 1t would seem that the law
ought to be able to provide method
by which, when one pays his taxes
it should be ascertained then that he
is paying all that is due. If he should
escape, il ought to be somebody
duty to force him to pay whatever is
due. If anything is due it is all due
to the State, and not a large portion
of it to an ingenious expert who has
no official connection with govern
ment. If the system of employing
ferrets is to be continued and ex-
tended there will grow up tendency
for assessors and treasurers to be-
come remiss in their duties on the
theory that the tax ferrets will rem
edy all oversights. The taxing system
will consequently become a machine
for turning over to per centum collec-
ton bureaus large part of the public
money that should be used exclusive
ly for the expenses of the govern
ment
We elect officials to assess and col
lect taxes, and there are penalties for
those who fail to pay or who evade
taxation. Are we not weakening the
law and the officials by employing
some one else to perform these du-
tiese Sequestered taxes should be
collected, for there is no greater evil
than the inequality of taxation that
results when one man pays his taxes
and the other escapes, but it is also
an evil to give the money when it is
other interest than his own profit
collected over to an agent who has no
other interest than his own profit

could not get Mr.. Hendricks to file
advertising bills in accordance with
those he presented in his unscrupu-
lous methods in fleeing taxpayer

been frustrated?"
A prominent city official said the
other day that he called Mr.. Nets
&er's attention to the fact that the
city would not pay for the headings
and footings" of the city delinquent
tax list and Mr. Metsker replied that
he was aware of the fact Yet he
files his bill for $1517 more than the
law allows, for this advertising. Will
he claim now that he did not do this
knowingly and willingly with intent
to commit a fraud?"

made that the President, at present,
has no intention of reiterating his
declaration made on election night,
in Nover.Oer 1904, that under no cir
cumstances would he be a candidate
for or accept another nomination.
Reports of this character have been
current recently and have been
brought to the Presidents attention,
but from what he told those close to
him he has no such idea in his mind,
feeling that there is no necessity for
such a reiteration on his part.
