their powers, shall be stopped
these people should recognize that
now is the time for the States TO
come TO the front and take up their
part of the burden, as well as cling
TO their part of the responsibility.
Wisconsin and New York, for eX-
ample, are spending money literally
in State forest reserves, TO refoTest
and maintain them. New York and
Illinois maintain expensive and
valuable waterways: the Erie canal
being the biggest thing of its kind
in America, and purely State af-
fair. Why should not other States
take up their share of this burden,
and, either independently or in CO.
operation with the Federal Govern
ment. furnish their share of the
means and energy?
The cooperation of general and
local government divisions is the
accepted plan Of doing these things,
nowadays. in Europe. 1t is the
safest and surest plan for this coun-
try, provided the States viii take
an interest IN it. 1t is for the gov
ernors who are now in Washington
to give direction to the movement;
and certainly they, of all men,
ought 10 have enough pride in
maintaining the autonomy and sub
stantial individuality Of the States,
TO make sure that this movement
does not result merely in another
confession of the inefficiency and
helplessness of the States.
The States must before long prove
their right 10 exist, or else relin-
quishment of that right win come
to be demanded by the growing
party of extreme federalism.

A Chance for the States.

Too ambitious program of water
way improvement, or of forest re-
production, or of swamp drainage,
or of desert reclamation, or of re-
assertion of Government control over
the other natural resources of the
nation, would be an unfortunate
outcome of the White House confer
ence of governors. Fortunately,
the temptation TO undertake too
much is likely not to be powerful
with such a gathering. Men who
have learned the difficulties of Sc
curing constructive legislation, who
are familiar with all the concessions
and compromises necessary n pass
ing measures even of the most OBJ
vious reasonableness and desirable
fly, are not likely TO be carried
away by foolish and vain enthu-
siasms.
Proposal to impose the entire ex-
pense and responsibility of a great
waterways improvement scheme
upon the Federal Government would
be unfortunate, at this time. All
the tendency, in the current discus
sions, Is 20 assume that this must
be strictly a Federal project. Yet
the experience Of other countries
more and more points to the con
clusion that in such works there
should be cooperation between the
local and the central government;
division of expense and of RESPONSE
bility, as there necessarily must be
division of benefits.
The fact is that the people who
want to preserve some of the indie
pendenee and self-respeet and use,
fitness of the States; who are
anxious that the tendency of the
Federal Government to overshadoW
the States and to draw away al

NEW YORK, May 13.-There was a

Peter was q Iaborer then at small
wage, and a laborer he remained, Shout
dering the burden of poverty no less
bravely as the years weighted his
shoulders. He believed that each should
give according to his ability when the
plate was passed in the mission. His
contribution was dime each day in
the old DAYS when he earned $50 a
day. His wage was reduced and he
grieved over the necessity of contribut-
ing only a nickel each night. Lately

his contribution was a cent. Whatever
the amount, Peter gave it every night.

Across the Line.

The Chamber of Commerce pro-
poses to investigate the law of
Maryland to learn if the Jockey
Club can build a racetrack just over
the District line, and so ciTcum-
vent the recent prohibitory action
of Congress. 1t is a wise determine
ton. If the State law permits
gambling at racetracks. the people
of the District are helpless for two
years, insomuch as the Legislature
win not reconvene until 1910. But
if the State law does not permit
such gambling, it lies easily within
the power Of the Chamber TO assist
the State officers in a genuine en-
forcement of the law.

The Enemies of the Moth.

A good many years have passed
since the gypsy and browntail
moths landed here and began to
make trouble for the already suffi-
GENTLY handicapped agriculturist.
Judging by the caution of DR.. l..
o. Howard, the Government bug ex-
pert, who is IN charge of the para
site campaign, a good many years
may pass before their depredations
are ended. Was there ever more
costly accident of an insectean
character?
This week $4,000 parasites from
abroad viii be liberated to prey
upon the gypsy and browntail ma
RAIDERS in Massachusetts. This is a
substantial addition to the army of
parasites even now in the field; but
that the re-enforcementsa are needed
is evident to any one who has taken
a look at the Bay State countryside
in the summer time. when the signs
of the blight are unhappily easy to
see. The gains made up 10 date
are not to be boosted of, but they
are encouraging to the extent of
showing, it is said, thai the para
sites can become acclimated
If the omnivorous moth is to re-
ceive his quietus, it must come
from the parasite accustomed to
make war upon him on his native
heath. But though defeat of the
moth host is confidently expected,
no rout is likely 10 happen. 81
think the relief viii be so gradual
at first as to be hardly appreciable,
and then will grow evident more or
less suddenly" That is the way
DR.. Howard speaks of it. when
that will be / do not know, as it is
a very complicated matter, and de-
ponds so largely upon conditions. ="
One of the features of the anti
moth campaign is the necessity OF
being extremely vigilant against the
introduction of any too hungry
parasite, WHICH, after helping to dis
pose of the moth, would proceed to
take his place as an enemy Of the
farmer, and of some insect that
might prefer to devour the other
parasites and not the advertised
victims. As DIR. Howard saws II &c

WIEN TO WIND A WATCH.

The question whether 1t is better to
wind watch at night or in the morn
ing was discussed at recent meeting
Of the British Watch and Clock Makers
Guild. The London Express took up
the subject and obtained the views Of
George Russell, an expert on time
pieces. Given good watch, It does
not matter in the least whether you
wind il at night or in the morning" he
told the reporter. But a watch never
keeps the same time when the position
is constantly altered. Watches which
are sent 70 Kew and which are tested
in several positions rarely keep tho
same time. The moral to be drawn,
therefore, is keep your watch as much
as possible In the position in which
you wear 1t during the days. In other
words, hang your watch UP at night
