Fighting tic Mosquito.

The trouble with getting after that
pesky insect is that we cannot reach
him with thirteen inch guns. 1t is
useless even to send the mosquito fleet
after him. He is some feet himself
and would probably be sampling the
gunners while they were preparing to
fire.
And yet we must get rid of him. He
has an affinity for various kinds Of
fever germs. always carrying a supply
and leaving one with each person he
favors with bite as sort of visiting
card
1t is useless to argue with the mos
quito. There is no use to send against
him and his tribe an army of boy
orators. He would probably say in
response to the eloquence, THAT
sounds good. but l must eat" The
only way to fight him is to turn his
breeding place upside down and plant
la flower garden on the other side, thus
offering him every possible inducement
to commit race suicide.

Whitewash.

The house committee Investigating
the print paper trust concludes that it
is not trust and that abolition of the
tariff on wood pulp would not result
in the reduction of prices.
How did the committee come to this
strange conclusion? If the tariff on
wood pulp does not affect the selling
price, why does the paper combine SO
tenaciously oppose the wiping out oil
the duty?
Ii there is no trust or combine, why
Ii it that prices are the same all over
the land and that prices jump stimuli
toneously? If there is no combine
why is it that papermakers will moi
take orders from new customers? II
there is no trust, why did the paper
makers refuse to consider, an offer tc
supply all publishers who are mem
bers of the Illinois Daily Press asso
citation?
The committee did not unearth a
trust because it did not want to. II
did not recommend the abolition oil
the duty because the tariff is sacred
and must not be disturbed. 1t stood
by this rapacious trust because al
election is approaching and trusts us
ually swell campaign funds.

The Only Way.

Ex-Governor Yates makes a direc-
and forceful arraignment of the re-
publican party of Illinois on the score
of extravaganza. 1t is true, he makes
it for the purpose of showing the ex.
travagance of the Deneen adminiStra
lion in comparison with his. But in
doing this he also indicts his own ad
ministration as the most extravagant
one in the history of the state before
that of Deneen. The truth is that all
republican administrations for gen,
Grafton have been reckless in their ex
penditure of the peoples money, and
Deneen no. more so proportionately
than the average.
What the state needs is an econom
ical democratic administration A
good deal of capital was made by the
republican politicians over the delin
quencies of certain subordinates in
the Altgcld Administrations amounting
! in the aggregate, so it was alleged
to several hundred thousand dollars
But even if Altgeld's lack of judg
| ment as to men resulted in as mucf
loss as the republican machines
| charge, the state could have donated
| it and several hundreds of thousand.
| of dollars besides and saved vast sums
! of money when compared with the
reckless squandering of public funds
by the Yates administration or thu
Deneen administration or any othei
republican administration since that o
Governor Altgeld. The party of or
ganized appetite of which fornc
Governor Yates is distinguished
apostle, is an adept in inventin:
methods by which to transfer the pub
lie funds from the public treasur.
into the capacious official stomach
of the hungry and thirsty hangers-ol
tof the party's boss-ridden machines
Deneen extravagant, forsooth! Ye;
and verily. But so was Yates. Com
Parsons in this case are, as Mrs
harrington would say, "odorous."
If the people want to save thei
tax money from being squandered
let them elect democratic governo

is slated for craftsmanship of the reso-

selection of such an eminent political
