VALUE or SWALLOWS AS INSECT DEsTRoYERs.


 AS INSECT DEsTRoYERs.
 The bureau of biological survey of the United States department of agri- culture has circulated circular pre-. pared by H. w Henshaw of that ser vice. The purpose of this circular is to make known the great value of swallows as insect destroyers and to emphasize the importance of protect. ing them wherever found and to wide ly publish the peculiar value of these birds in the war now being waged in the south against the cotton bcil wee. lil, and to ask for the cooperation of ,itizens of northern states where these birds chiefly nest. in an effort 10 in. crease their numbers.
 That insecteating birds are of i'm mensc value to the farmer and the forester is so well known that their protection is now believed to be abso. lutely necessary to the welfare of any country. But the value of certain kinds in the United States has been recently emphasized through fthe in vasion of the cotton states by a ce-S- and destructive insect-the boil wee vii. This new pest. despite every ef- fort to stay it's march, is spreading at the rate of about fifty miles year. and sooner or later is certain to iHfest the entire cotton-producing areaAa fact which not only seriously con cerns the southern planter. but in it's ultimate consequences affects the well. being of the whole country
 Birds are among the natural enemies Of the weevil, but by themselves arc quite inadequate to the task of con. trolling the ravages of the pest The losses it inflicts are of such magni- tude. however, that no aid can be safe + neglected. especially when So i'm portant as the services rendered by birds. As the result of Investigations
 the biological survey. thirty-eight
 peeies of birds are now known to feed upon the weeviL Prominent among these are the several species of swell lows. including the purple martin.
 The martin. the barn swallow. she bank swallow. the clid swallow. and he rough-wing breed-some of them oaIy sparingly-in Texas and else where in tue south. They breed also il the north, but the tree swallow and lin swallow--very important mem s.sls or the group-appear in the souts the former during the spring and fall migration only.
 Steps have been taken to acquaint the farmers and other residents of Texas and the remaining cotton-pro- ducing states of the importance of in- creasing the numbers of focal spe-  ciss and Of extending the range of certain species in the cotton districts This may be done by strictly ensorc- ing the laws protecting swallows and by providing additional accommeda- tions for nesting. These steps alone. however. are not sufficient. It Is very important also that all of the swallow tribe nesting In the northern states and migrating through the cotton belt De increased 10 tbe limit, more par ticssiariy since h late years a steady dlminution of their numbers has been noted.

Someone, probably too coward
ly to sign their name, had an ar
ticle in the Globe last week rel
alive to our position on the
Lyceum graft. Now it is not
customary to notice this class of
articles, but it is a rather per-
sonal attack on the writer. The
editor of this paper has no apol-
ogy to make to anyone if our ed
ucation is limited, nor have we
any because of the fact that we
have lived on the frontier all our
live. We are egotistical enough
to think that we know when
anyone is trying to hand us a
''gold brick" Probably the
writer above mentioned article
has had all the advantages of
schools and colleges and is high
ly educated in music and the
arts and sciences and has been
living out here for the sole pur-
pose of educating the ignorant
people" whose sad lot it is to be
deprived of all these things.
Please deliver us from such as
these.

reports of political fights being
pulled off between political lead
ers on the platform, and while
not so bloody and the fatalities
were not quite so great as at
Shiloh, Vicksburg and other
great battles of the civil war in
which these old soldiers partici-
pated, they fully demonstrated
that General Sherman bad the
right idea of what war is. At
the Baxter Springs reunion the
leaders of political factions, took
advantage of their position on
the platform as guests of the
old soldiers, to either seek to
advance by a notch or two their
own political am billions, or what
was worse, attact some leader OF
an opposition faction. Perhaps
it was for the purpose of show
ing these old soldiers while they
were not in any of these great
battles of the civil war they
know how to fight. But what
ever the purpose was it was
disgracetul and violation of the
laws of hospitality.
AT Sedan the other day an
other political prize fight was
pulled off between practally the
same men who engaged in the
shindy words and epeths at Bax-
ter Springs. Challenges were
issued and accepted in which the
political duelists were to use the
camp ground platform as the
scene of their bloodless but dis
graceful encounter. To the
credit of the old soldiers they
refused to allow the exhibition.
At neither reunion did the poll
ticians who were invited to speak
except in rare cases, deliver an
"old soldier" speech. They
generally opened with few trite
eulogies upon the old soldiers,
and then unlim bered their politi-
cal guns, and the battle against
some political enemy begun.
One bitter and yindictive speech
called for another and what
should an occasion for the hon.
oring of the memory of these
old soldiers and a place where
true patriotism be taught. and
the deeds of these old soldiers
be glorified is turned into a
political dueling ground where
leaders of political factions fight
eacn otheI. 1t is a dissertation
that should not be tolerated and
which should shame every one
participating in it. 1t is perhaps
not out of place for political lead.
ers and candidates for Office to
attend these reunions and when
invited to make a speech to dc
so, but they should leave their
political fights against each other
to the political area and not des-
ecrate the old soldiers reunions
with their personal quarrels."

Let Railroads Make
Money

Meanwhile the railroads of the
country continue to do a large
and fourishing business. altho'
their net profits are diminished
by reason of their fixed charges
in all directions. Railroads
when fairly run for the public
and for their stockholders ought
to make money. so that they
may be kept in state of high
efficiency. Whether or not the
2-cent passenger rate that so
many states have adopted is
really reasonable or not it
was in our opinion very un-
statesmanlike to force the issue
during this past year. 1t was
right to drive the railroads out
of their old-time control of state
politics. It was also right to
oblige them to discontinue the
improper distribution of free
passes. Again, it was to use
every means, however drastic to
compel them to abandon the old
system of rebates and discrim-
nations. 1t was right to COM
pei them to use salty appliances
and thus to prevent the slaugh
ter of their own employees and
the wrecking of passenger
trains. 1t was right to enforce
better systems of railroad ac-
counting, and more thorough
publicity in respect to all
branches of railroad financiering
and operation. 1t was right to
improve tax laws and strengthen
COMMISSIONS. But these things
constituted a sufficient program
for the present; and it was not
at all advisable to adopt arbitrary
Legislation that could be con-
strued as an attempt to prevent
the railroads from making mon
ey. So far as most states are
concerned, the two cent fare law
will probably so increase local
passenger traffic as not to cur
tail appreciably the earnings the
roads. But the subject is one
that could have been fairly post
poned; and in our judgment the
2-cent laws will have proved them
selves premature and therefore
more harmful than BENEFICIAL

Senator Borah of Idaho, has
been acquitted of the charge of
being in a conspiracy to defraud
the government out of valuable
timbe lands. The jury was
out but short time. His chef
counsel was James H. Hawley
who assisted the Senator in the
prosecution of William D. Hay
wood, secretary of the Western
Federation of Miners which
case was recently tried
at Boise aud Haywood was ac-
quilted of conspiracy to murder
Governor Steunenburg of Idaho.
Both men were tried and acquitt-
ed and that should end the mat
ter, but many people will still re-
tain fixed opinions as to,the guilt
or innocence of both men. In
the eyes of the law both are in
nocent of the charges made
against them. The only diff
ference is one IS work
ing man the other is a
United States Senator Mr..
Hawley is quoted as saying the
evidence against the senator was
''the most damnable outrage and
iniquity ever perpetrated in the
guise of Justice. He might
have the same thing in regard to
the evidence against William D.
Haywood and told the truth.

"The court directed the district at

rangement with the officials Of the
Chicago & Alton railroad under which
It was not to be proceeded against

that no offender should deservedly
