MUCH LEGISLATION

Referring to the legislative session
which will properly begin after the
Inauguration of Governor elect Stuart,
Scranton Truth suggests that "Much
legislation of remedial nature has
been suggested and there will be plenty
of work for the members to do. They
have it i'll their power to make the
stantial benefits which the State may
derive from their work. 1t is to be
hoped that they will prove equal to
their great opportunity. And yet, no

to be dissatisfaction and adverse criti.

BACK TO
THE COUNTRY.

There is a great movement spread
ing over this nation, which is the re-
turn of the wave that has rolled in
the opposite direction so long. Less
than ten years ago, life on the farm
had but few of the attractions of city
life and endless harJships. Today
the telephone, rural delivery, and
even the automobile, are making the
city man seek the country home.
This movement is but in its infancy.
Parcels post and other privileges"
will one by one be forced from our
lawgivers between island empires and
isthmian canals. We may even hope
to see some of the hundreds of mil
lions now poured out each year on
our savage principalities, or presented
to grating monopoiies, spent on our
roads and waterways. Possibly we
may even live to see postal bank for
the common" people in the coun-
try.

TEA BUGS AND TEA MITES.
They Are the Plaques of the Assam
Tea Gardens,

Tea Gardens,
Every animal and plant has Its para.
site, and from this general law, 1t
seems, the tea plant Is not exempt.
Two insects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. They are
the plague of the Assam tea gardens
and are known as the tea bug and tea
mite.
The mites spend their entire lives on
the tea plant and are never known to
attack any other leaf. They live in
families and societies on the upper
side Of the full grown leaf and spin a
delicate web for a shelter. They then
puncture the leaves and pump out the
liquid In the plant veins.
They seem to become very dainty In
their tastes, for sprinkling of mud
dy water over their floor and tea table
is the only remedy known to check
their ravages, Even this is not al-
ways effeetuai.
The tea bug is still more destructive
and Is evidently possessed Of an ap-
probation of the best kinds of tea,
since 1t always attacks those of a
mild and delicate flavor. Such as af
ford harsh and rasping liquors are al
most entirely free from Its attacks

tury may not be indicated in mo-
ment, but if justice for all, which is
"the square DEAL" shall be the wish
of honest minds, the clear judgment
for each step will be given. Passion,
prejudice, torch and gun will then
give place to a united determination
of the best and sanest to "tote fair. !"
What is fairness? We can't multiply
either freeman in white, or freed
man in black, by neglect, and ignor-
ance, and have as a product good
citizenship or high morality. 1t is
not fair to any to try it. Neither
church or state can be fair to any
class by ignoring the morals or educa.
ton of any. The breeze that blows
over a pestilence may scatter its bac'
terra anywhere. The white man:
home may any day be darkened by
the microbs from black mans fever,
and the reverse is equally true. Lust
and hate breed their own kind in al
races, and bad unit in any color
may scatter his immoral germs where
least expected. In this matter, mine
must beat frenzy, love must conquer
hate. The ravisher should be pun

Immigration Unrestricted.

The recent formation of the organ.
ization which seeks to promote i'm.
migration to this country ought t,
stir up American citizens to sense OF
duty to the country. Recent statistics
show that we received over /, 200, O0(
newcomers last year. They also she W
that the countries from which in 9th.
er years the bulk of our new citizen.
snip came sent us the smallest mum.
ber of immigrants in 1906, while othel
countries, as Russia, Italy, Austria.
Hungary, sent the bulk of the immi.
grants. 1t is admitted by the commis.
sioner of immigration that those WI c
arrived last year were distinctly II.
ferior to their predecessors.
Now, while there is every reason
why the United States should be *.
tremely hospitable to all who desire
to enjoy the protection of our institu-
tions or take advantage of the oppor-
tunities for rising in the social OF
business scale, it is certainly the duty
of the people to protect their institu-
tions from destruction or from such
serious modification as would practic-
ally make an end of them. 1t is pleas
ant to think of our republic as the
asylum of the oppressed, but it is not
the highest wisdom which makes it a
dumping ground for the refuse of Eu-
rope. There is no Obligation upon US
to lose virtue in the effort to take care
of the ruined lives which Europe is
too glad to send here.
Various efforts have been made dur
ing the last decade to secure the pass
age of a proper law restricting i'm
migration, but these have all been de-
fsated by thu powerful lobby which
some mysterious influence has main
tanned at the feleral capital for the
express purpose of preventing the ad-
option of such legislation. a bill pos
sess!ng many admirable features is at
the present time pending in congress.
The same sinister influences were
strong enough to delay its passage last
year and there is reason to fear that
they may be equally successful now.
1t seems singular that already the ad-
vocates of unrestricted immigration
are so powerful. 1t is evident that un-
less something definite is accomplish
ed soon the country will be entirely
at the mercy of its alien invaders.
There ought to be no obligation up
on the part Of this country to admit
through its unguarded gates so many
who have achievednothing but failure
in the home land. Already the rapid
increase of crime by our alien visitors
from various sections of Europe shows
the, dangers by which the country is
confronted. The law which provides
for consular inspection before the i'm
migrant sails from his home would be
II great improvement upon existing
conditions and would unquestionably
permanently detain upon the other
side many who under other circum-
stances would become burt Q / and a
menace hnre. The educational test is
not so vital. A man who has record
for sobriety AMI good citizenship at
home would make a good citizen here,
even if he isn't able to read and write.

of increasing the pay of members OF

that the present salary is very meagre
