SAVE THE CHERRY TREES.

Many OF the cherry trees are being
badly infested with the cherry slug.
This is a very easy insect to control
and 1t is hoped that no one will al
low his cherry trees to be defoliated
at this time of the year. which Is al
ways q serious calamity to the trees
If 1t does not kill them outright.
There VIII be another brood OF this
slug appearing about month later
and anything that can be done to be
stroy the first brood will tend to les
sen the second.
The best remedies to use, If there
are many trees to be treated, ar
senate of lead. paris green, or white
hellebore sprayed upon the leaves
II arsenate of lead is used, prepare
by mixing one pound of the poison In
each twenty gallons of water. Ii
paris green is used, prepared by mix
ing one pound of the poison in one
hundred gallons of water. These
poisons are preferred providing there
is no fruit upon the trees. If the
cherries are still on the trees 1t is bet
ter to use white hellebore. Mix one
ounce with each three gallons of wa
tr. This poison is best applied
| towards evening. 1t is a vegetable
poison and loses its strength in few
days upon the trees, but when thor
oughly applied is very efficient in de
stroying the slugs.
If only few trees are infested, they
may be thoroughly busted with slaked
lime or fine road dust, either of which
trees.

Total ..................... 100.


An investigation bears out these
figures. In the boroughs Of Manhat-~
tan and the Bronx, in the year ending
July Is. 1908. 1899 persons met vio-
lent deaths, and of this number 652
met their deaths in traffic accidents.
Six hundred and sixty-three are AT.
tributed to accidental falls, which
means anything from tumbling from a
skyscraper roof to tripping on curb
and dying from a fractured skull.
A thousand and more persons are
killed in the streets of New York every
year-more than both sides lost In
the battle of Bull Run. the killed in
that famous conflict being: Union
side. killed 47O; Confederates. 367.
Automobiles alone kill two and one
half times as many people as the en-
tire American navy lost in the Spanish
war, the score being: Automt0 0es,
"A; killed in navy, II.
There are 1000 New Yorkers killed
In the streets every year.
London, with population of 7.OOO,-
900, had fewer deaths from violence
during the year than New York, with
population of 100000 London
streets cars are not SO numerous, so
speedy or apparently SO dangerous.
Only five persons were killed by elec.
trio cars, by horse cars six, omnibuses
twenty-seven, wagons 112 and cars and
cabs thirty ,one, a total Of 181.
In New York City the surface lines,
which include electric cars, horse cars
and omnibuses, killed ISL. Other We
hicles, including wagons, carts, cabs
and automobiles, killed 100. This list
must also be credited with twenty-five
subway fatalities. sixteen on the ele
waited roads and nineteen on the tracks
of the New York Central railroad with.
in the city. limits. swelling the grand
total of deaths due to vehicles and
street traffic TO 367, or twice as many
deaths as there were in London streets
during the same period.
The high rate of street fatsNies
in New York has two basic causes.
The shape Of Manhattan island con-
gests business between the two rivers
and also congests foot travel and
means of transportation. CoupleS,'
with this is the great AmetseN desire
to get there" which constt tiy de-
mands and constantly is q y fast
or and sfIlI foctar vnaAx -ayar
New York cars, surface. sdB&ay and
elevated, go faster than those of Lon
don and Paris. New York people walk
faster and hurry across streets where
the Londoner would wait and look
about him.

The Future OF Democracy

Editor Courier--As Republican ed
itors are making al kinds OF pre-
dictions as to the future OF the dem
ocraticparty, 1t may not be amiss for
one of the party to help out in the
matter.
The principal feature OF rejoicing
among republicans seems to be the
fact that Mr.. Bryan has been de-
feated three times. The principles
involved seem to be of little concern.
They seem to iose sight OF the
fact that Jesus Christ has been an
unpopular candidate for nearly two
thousand years, but is still a candl-
date, and will be until the princi-
pies for which he lived and died are
established in the hearts and lives
of the entire human race. w. D..
Bryan may not be nominated again
for president, but the principles for
which he has so faithfully and
honestly contended will live as long
as honesty remains a virtue and
men are found who esteem human
happiness greater than sordid com
mercialism.
Yes, majority Of those who
went to the polls and voted have
said that Mr.. Bryan should not be
president, but let us remember that
this has been the fate of almost
eyerry truly great man that has
ever lived. w. J. Bryan stands be-
fore the world to day as its greatest
living statesman. He will be
known in history as the man who
did more to elevate American man
hood than any other man OF his
time. My posterity will always
point with pride to the fact that
their paternal ancestor stood by the
great Commoner in his valient fight
for the natural and constitutional
rights of American citizens, as
against the expressions of corpor-
alton wealth. No one of the next
generation will ever feel glad that
his father voted for Mr.. Taft
We democrats are going to give
President Taft our loyal support In
the execution of his official duties,
but we want it understood that we
make no sacrifice OF principle.
We believe that this government
should be run in the interest of all
the people, and not in the interest
of the Rockerfelers, Morgans,
Hills and Harrimans. We have
been fighting for that which everv-
one of well balanced mind knows
to be right and we expect to live
and die in the good work. We
know that we are in the best of
company. The solid South, the
home OF true Amerlcanism, is de-
mocratic to the core, and will re-
main so until the final triumph of
right over might.
