DEATH TO THE BUGS.

If Professor s. J. Hunter of the Kan sas State University has really done to ''the green buzz what he modestly thinks and says he has his fame ought to be even more enduring than the fame of Bugs" the famous base ball pitcher now working his wiles in Charleston, South Carolina. The green bug began operations early this Spring, just in time to help the Chi cago wheat boomers. It marked out a ruinous path in Oklahoma and Texas, and from there emerged into southern Kansas, to the dismay of the farmers of that section, who were helpless be- fore it's ravages. Professor Hunter realized what the operations of this destroyer meant to the farmers of his State, and so he began experimenting with parasites, in the hope of eradi- eating it. Before long he found a bee which multiplies faster than the
 green bug and which destroys the latter over wide areas. He sent out the larvae to fields where the bug was in operation, covering forty-seven coun- ties of the State.

By the last week of May the bug had practically disappeared, and the wheat crop of the State had been freed of the danger which threatened 1t.

 Very encouraging. The parasite of the humbug may yet be discovered.

 The general public is being informed about the progress of the Edward Mcdowell fund. There is something beautifully fitting in this tribute which is being made to his service to the world of music. It comes not only from his own countrymen, but from England, France, Germany and Can ada. It is a recognition of the value of his work in his chosen field. Edward A. Mcdowell is one of few Ameri- can pianists and composers who have done much to give America a high place in music. He possesses to a high degree the artistic temperament and is conscientious in his work. One can not think of him as bending to the ephemeral in music. He aimed at the highest and sought to produce work of permanent character. He has pro- vlded a number of exquisite compost tions for orchestral work and song re- citals, and has made many home the happier and richer by his piano pieces.
 His work possesses a certain nobility and dignity of conception and por- trays a love and understanding of nature that reveal the authors &C., quaintance with nature in her most Intimate moods. One has only to men, ton his Woodland Sketches in illustra- 1 tion The public Is doubtless familiar with his belief that native eolorlng for American music is best secured from the red man of the forest as is done in his Indian Suite for orchestra. where genuine Indian themes are used with Impressive effect. MT. Mcdowell is acknowledged to be a typical repre- sentative of American music at its best. He was devoted to his art. In these days art as we'll as religion and true politics Is in conflict with the commercial tendency and spirit. Ed ward Mcdowell could not suffer his art to be subjected. Like many an- other soul who has worked sincerely for arts sake, and in an atmosphere Iabove material consideration he has lnot become wealthy although he has Ienriched truly the lives of others. Fol a time he was the head of the depart! Iment of music of Columbia university
 The true inwardness of the friction
 that led to his retirement has not vel
 been made clear. It is an open secret
 however that there was a lack of ar
 tistic appreciation of his work whicf
 had special influence in bringing labout his departure from the Univer Isity.
 It is gratifying that in one instance
 at least man~need not wait until ht
 is dead to know how his fellowmen re
 gard him. These sits coming iron l all lands where his music is known
 almost world wide, areNa magnifcen

He's not at all distinguished, but You want to walt while and seei When once that fellow leaves the rut, There's nothing that he couldn't be. He's in a rather humble place, But that's not where he means to
 stay;
 He's going to strike a swifter pace, And move up to the front'-some day. Till now he hasn't had his chance To show the world what he can do-- There's been such adverse circumstance To keep his plans from going
 through:
 But time will bring his opening, And clear the obstacles away, He's getting ready for the spring, You'll see what he will do-some day He's getting past the years of youth. At times we think he's lacking
 steanl-s-
 Some people say, to tell the truth, He's less disposed to do than dreami But he has faith that's fresh and
 green,
 Although his head is getting gray His hopes sublime, his faiths serene He means to do lot-some day.

This doubtless the donors themselves would be the quick est to declare. The present spontane- ous expression of helpfulness gives en- couragement, hope and cheer to those who believe that much of goodness is to be found in the world at a time when so many evils are being magni- fled. The real essential clements of life are appreciated after all.

HARMONY DESIRAB1B.

The tentative, firm and diplomatic stand taken by the Committee on Schools and the full Board of Educa- tion in the matter of the teachers sal aries doesn't seem to have worked just as the tentativeness, the firmness and the diplomacy were expected to work, At it's meeting Friday the Board of Finance was as polite as a basket of chips to the Board of Edu- cation, but it didn't refrain from say ing this: It having been stated at the meeting by the representatives of the Teachers league that the schedule Aadopted by the department of educa- < and this board believing that the eff1- Aeucy of the schools would be better hahStained by the department of edu- htfoll and the teachers working In sarmony, we would therefore consider hy revised schedule of teachers sal lies that the department of education lty submit, the same to be considered len making up the estimates and Ing the tax rate duing the month of kember, 1907.

he anti-merger fight of the Massa-
 Nsetts legislature is in nowise de- easing in interest. The bill that is assed and awaits the Governors sig ature does not contemplate the entire Prevention of a merger, but such a Anditioning of the situation as will Face the control of it in the State. This Is well so far as public interests Sire concerned, which are paramount. 4fIowever, 1t must be admitted that Yrailroad operations have become so much of an interstate business that it I becomes approximately more difficult flor the States to legislate from the old point of view. The problem is to ad- ssst what properly belongs to the tate to whatever belongs to national sgislation and to the welfare of the hilroads themselves. At any rate 1t s difficult to see how legislation can z prevent men from buying and owning stock in as many roads as they wish and assuming the control that goes with such ownership. All State can do is to gain such position in view of the whole matter as will protect public interests within it's own bord- CTS. This Massachusetts is seeking to do. The merger must proceed under the direction of the State.
 There is no doubt that the general economic advantages gained by the extension of a systematic cooperation and management of railroads vii work to public good. The distribu. tion of capital in railroad business over a wide area calls for extension oi management also, As long as the leg lslaHye branch is watchful and seek'
 only justice to both the public

A lake of quicksilver, covering an area of more than three acres and hav- Ing depth ranging from ten feet to fifty feet, has been discovered in the mountains of the State of Vera Cruz. Mexico. Thei'value of the product is estimated at millions. This lake has been known to the Indians for many generations. It is situated far up in the mountains in an almost inaccessi- ble position. It's surface is partly cov- cred by stones. It is believed that vol- oanic action in the mountains above smelted the quicksilver out of the cin- nabar ore and that it ran down and filled this depression. A tunnel will be driven through the base of the noun tain and the quicksilver will be brought down by means of gravity.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The Altered Spirit of the Age
Providence Ionrnal.l )

It will be seen that the non-sectarian movement has been much in evidence in Connecticut. as one college has abandoned its denominationalsm, ai- though it was the oldest college under the patronage of it's particular sect in the United States, while another col Iege, in the person of its President, is doing what it can to show that it is not a denominational institution at all. This signifies not that Wesleyan and Trinity are ashamed of those branches of the Church with which they have been associated in the public mind or of the Church as whole, but that they realize how the spirit of the age has altered.

Under decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, no grant to the bed of the Ohio river may be recorded, as the state has never provided for the occupation of the river bed as public land. The court says the General As .sennbly may provide for the occupation of the land, however, if it sees fit, and may grant the right to the sand or minerals which may be found between the center of the stream and low wa- ter mark. It defines the boundaries of Kentucky as the northern low water mark.
