The Virginia Republican State Com
mittee at IT'S recent meeting in Norfolk
declared for the denomination of Pres
ldent Roosevelt for a third term, and
II is safe to say that nlne-tenths Of the
Republican ofiiceholders of the coun-
try are In favor of the same policy.
These men will in all probability con-
troll the next national Republican con-
yention, hence the expectation OF
Roosevelt's denomination.
1t Is not the unfriendly independent
or Democratic press that is responsible
for the impression that, when the CHI
max Of the Republican convention 10
reached, Roosevelt will be renominated.
On the contrary, many Of the Demo
Gratis and Independents have been dis
posed to take the President at his
word. The President has simply not
been able to convince his partlsans that
be will not at the las. minute accept.
This indicates that Roosevel9s par
tisans do not believe him to be an
honorable man, and that they do not
want a truthful man for their leader
They are ready to sacrifice Mr.. Roose-
velt's honor for the sake of keeping
their feet In the public trough

Neglected Old Orchards.

In almost any part of our State can
be found orchards of advanced age
which do not pay, and 1t is readily seen
that something is wrong. The problem
of renovating an orchard is sometimes
a large one and often proves to be very
expensive. The causes which are re-
sponsible for an Improbable orchard
are many and may be briefly stated
thus: Unsuitable varieties, poor drain
age, unfavorable site, poor soil, neglect,
unfavorable climatic conditions and old
age
The first and most important point
In rejuvenating an orchard is whether
or not the trees are worth saving. The
varieties may not be what you desire
or too far gone to be responsive to
treatment. II the trees are on wet
land, cut them down or thoroughly
drain the soil, as a fruit tree will new
er thrive with wet feet. Apple trees
over thirty-slx or thirty-seven years old,
which have long been neglected, are not
worth saving; likewise the cherries
over twenty, the pear over twenty-five
or twenty-three, the plum over fifteen
and the peach over twelve years Of age.
In fact, the trees which should not be
worked with are those With high
head, partially decayed trunk and in a
generally run down condition. If moth
ing more serious than insects and fun
gous diseases is present, the orchard
may be very economically reclaimed

Plant foods vary In composition, and
the most fertile farm may lack In some
particular element of fertility. Manure
that does not contain all the essential
elements that tend to recuperate the
soil is not in itself complete 1t will,
Of course, enrich the soil, but as the
soil does not receive from the manure
all that 1t yielded in the shape of food,
no figures are necessary to demonstrate
that In the course Of time the sale Of
milk will exhaust the soil of plant
foods (mostly Of nitrogen), including
potash, phosphates and other mineral
matter. 1t is admitted that grass
plot will be largely assisted to secure
nitrogen by the rains (Which bring
down ammonia and nitric acid), and
with clover with the aid Of bacteria) 4,
but these sources do not admit Of de
irving the potash ana pnosphates. The
nitrogen so secured is bit small pro-
portion as compared with that daily
sold In the milk, the total amount Of
milk annually leaving some farms be-
ing many hundreds of cans. The
amount of nitrogen, potash and phos-
pilates sold from farms that provide
for large herds can not easily be esti-
mated, but suffice it to say that the
quantity, though not apparent, is very
large, and in the course of few years
the soil must certainly be affected.

Apple and Pear Mites.

In study of the mites on apple and
pear trees, five species have been rec
ognized by the New York station:
Eriophyes malifolia, f. pyri, e. pyri
variolata, Phyllocoptes, schlechtendall
and Epitrimerus pyri. Eriophyes pyri,
commonly known as the leaf-blister
mite. is the most abundant and the
most Injurious species The structure,
habits and systematic position Of these
pests are discussed and list is given
of all American species of the family
with their host plants and an analyti-
cal table for their Identification.
Particular attention is given to E
pyri. which produces the wellknown
blister spots on the leaves of pear and
apple trees On apple trees the bis
tiers may have a reddish tinge. but us
ually are less brilliant The mites in
lure the fruits and fruit stems as well
as the leaves, and have been found on
go vapseties of apples. After little
experience the injuries caused by mites
may be readily distinguished from
those due to spraying or to the apple
rust. A parasitic mite was found
preying upon the blister mite and Is
described as a new species under the
name Seius pozni.
In experiments on apple trees a COM
parison was made between kerosene
oil. mjscible oil. kerosene emulsion,
whale-oil soap and the sulphur washes.
the latter being prepared according to
various formulas. On account of It's
harmisSsneSs, cheapness and efficiency,
kerosene emulsion diluted With five
parts OF water and applied during the
dormant season Is recommended as the
most practical remedy for the treat
meat OF apple orchards infested with
the blister mite. In pear orchards snis
pest may be controlled by prerer prun-
ing and by spraying with kerosene
emulsion In the fail or spring.

constitutional Limitations.


In his Provincetown speech President
Roosevelt took another fling atfthe con
stitution of the United States, which
he regards as a great failure in many
ways, and which he has persistently
violated on several occasions. When
the constitution was created" said he,
none Of the conditions of modern bust
ness existed. They are wholly Dew
and we must create new agencies to
deal effectively with them" The nee
pssasy Inference is that he demands the
creation Of new agencies which the
constitution does not contemplate Or
provide for. Now, this means that the
constitution should be disregarded; for
that instrument expressly provides that
unless a power has been granted to the
federal government, such power II re-
served either to the States or 10 the
people. Mr.. Roosevelt also declares in
favor of federal law for ineorporat-
Ing or licensing railroads. He said ::
II believe in national incorporation
law for corporations engaged in inter
state business. 1 believe, furthermore,
Ing as regards those corporations
which, because they are common car
riers exercise a quasi-public function,
and which can be completely controlled
In all respects by the federal govern
ment, by the exercise of the power con-
ferred under the interstate commerce
clause, and, if necessary, under the
postcard clause of the constitution"
This is in line with his general posi-
ton to disregard the constitution; for
1t is not only an attack upon the States
but Is wholly unjustifable in view of
the history of the constitution. The
proposition to allow Congress to in
corporate companies, construct and OPP
crate canals for use in interstate COM
merce, was made in the convention
which framed the constitution by Ben
jamin Franklin. and was, after mature
discussion, voted down. The words
corporation" incorporation" "char-
ter" and company" were Intentionally
excluded from the constitution 'lest
there should appear in it any pretext or
color for the legislation now demanded
by Mr.. Roosevelt in the interest of
corporations which seek immunity from
the operation of State laws. The aim
Of those wise men who framed the con-
stitution, and of the State conventions
which ratified 1t, was to furnish no ex-
cuse for executive, judicial or legislat-
i've interference with the laws of the
States regarding corporations of any
kind

Prospective Coal Pauline.

The railroads have many sins to an
swer for, but it is certainly not fair
to charge up a winter coal famine to
them in advance of such calamity.
The railroads under the law cannot be-
coal dealers, and, therefore, 1t Is not
their duty to carry coal unless 1t is
shipped by some firm or individual.
Secretary Wilson, who has been trav-
cling in the Western States, reports
upon his return to Washington that the
people there are uneasy and appreherl-
siye of coal famine next winter. AS
he reports the people of the West very
prosperous and plenty Of money in cir
culatlon there why do not these appre-
hensive people order their coal now, in
stead of waiting until winter comes7
Provident people buy their coal in sum-
mer when 1t Is cheaper, and If those
who have the means to lay in stock
have done so and the dealers have their
usual winter supply on hand for the
poorer purchasers to buy from hand to
mouth from, there should be no coal
famine. 1t Is to be presumed that coal
ordered now would be delivered in the
ordinary course of freight delivery IL
not, and there is unusual delay, there
will be good cause of complaint, and
the railroads Will be held responsible
When snow blockades come, 1t IS Inn
possible to run freight trains with reg
ularity, and nobody knows this better
than the people of the Northwestern
States, and 1t is their duty to prepare
for such contingencies and not suffer
through their own shiftlessness and
then blame it on the railroads. Give
the devil his due, and everyone, even
the plunderlng corporations, square
deal.

sLet No Guilty Man Escape. .

The growing demand for the punish
ment of those who mismanage corpora
tons as felons Is due to the recognized
fact that all corporations are person
ally conducted enterprises" The in
dividual is responsible for the corpor-
ate morals. There are in reality
neither good nor bad corporations, as
such A corporation Is only a mechan-
ism invented and used by men for their
convenience and profit What is done
by It, either lawfully or unlawfully, Is
the act of men, and the men not the
mechanism are responsible for It. If
a railroad train or a street car, or
an automobile runs over a person, we
arrest the engineer, conductor, motor
man or chauffeur. and punish him. We
don't demollsh the engine, or the motor
car. Neither do we fine them. Filming
corporations is no Jess absurd I'm
prisonment Is the true remedy for ras-
cality. It must be cured or killed. II
the managers Of corporations who
swear falsely as TO the value Of the

for wrecks ON railways and passenger

Enriching Europe.

The New York Journal of Commerce
estimates that tourists and travellers
from our shores TO Europe spend a
hundred million of dollars annually
beyond the seas and now the banks are
complaining of tight money is a good
time to consider how this ana other
drains on our resources can be put a
stop to. This extravaganza must In
the course of years tend greatly to en-
rich Europe, while impoverishing this
country. And there are two other
things also tending In the same direc-
ton. One is that the heiresses of this
country are constantly marrying titled
Europeans and transferring vast for
tunes from this continent to Europe in
that way. American money is used to
buy worthless Counts, such as Boni
CastellaRe, and the only return for it
is In the form of scandal. Another
way in which American money Is be-
ing rapidly transferred to Europe
without any substantial return for lie
is found In the counter-current of emf
grafton. For while a heavy stream of
immigrants with empty purses is pour
ing in upon rs. there is considerable
stream flowing back to Europe, carry
ing the savings Of years Of successful
business along with them. These
things cannot easily be stopped. But
well graduated income and Inherit
ance taxes would tend to lessen the
evils they entail Milllonalres would
have less to spend in travel and In
buying curious and worthless souven-
irs. Heiresses would have less to pay
for worthless fortune-huntlng hus-
bands, and returning emigrants smaller
fortunes to carry away.

The Climbing Rose.

The rose is not natural climber; 1t
can ramble over low shrubs, large
powders and such things, but when
grown about veranda pillar 1t must
be artlficiaily supported by tying up
occasionally as it grows. This is more
satisfactory than ignoring 1t until the
end of the growing season 1t is then
hard job to stralghten out the badly
tangled or twisted shoots, and the wind
is likely TO break them when they are
very long.
Never let one shoot grow upright for
too long a period or get very far ahead
of the others. advises a writer In the
Garden Mazagine. If you do, the
strongest or leading shoot will receive
the greatest quantity of the sap and
the plant, by throwing its strength to
the top, will soon become nude at the

since that strenuous citizen, CIprlano
Castro, outraged our State Department
by declaring war upon the Bermudez
Asphalt Company Of New York, in con-
sequence, as he declared, of that cor
poration having financed a revolution
in Venezuela. Castro's way Of punish
ing a bad trust" Is very similar to
the plan of President Roosevelt with
the bad trusts here Castro hauls the
asphalt trust into court before judges
Of his own appointing, and the court
guilty Of high crimes and misdemean-
ors, fines it the enormous sum of S15,-
100000 Yet this action of Castro and
thhe Venezuela courts-copied after the
action of President Roosevelt and our
courts-appears to exasperate our State
Department, and as diplomatic endeay-
or has reached its limits" we may ex-
pect the matter to soon assume a more
serious aspect Whether President Cas-
tro and his judges have good evidence
against the wicked asphalt trust is
shrouded in mystery, for, as far as the
American public is concerned, the evil
dence gathered by President Roosevelts
special commissioner, Mr. Calhoun, on
the matter, was suppressed and slum-
bers in the archives of the State De
partment. Some Of the anti-Roosevelt
Republicans are unkind enough to say
that the report exonerated President
Castro from the charge OF unfairpess
and proved the asphalt trust to be
guilty, as the Venezuela court found it
to be after hearing all the evidence.
This climax of the Venezuela scandal.
