Candidates for the Republican

Candidates for the Republican
nomination for Congress in this
district are commencing to show
signs of activity. The Journal
has until now refrained from CON-
'menGug upon the situation or the
prospective candidates for the rea-
son that we are the partisan of
Hon. M. f. Rhodes. Since Mr..
Rhodes has decided not to become
a candidate for the nomination
this year it leaves rs free to say
that we have no other favorite to
play. The men who are now out
for the nomination, and any who
may present themselves, later will
receive fair treatment at our hands.
Under the new primary election
law the nominee must necessarily
be wholly the choice of the people,
inauenced by neither clique OF
trick.

There is an article going the
rounds Of the press to the effect
,that the banks of the country
should hold the newspapers in
grateful remembrance for the part
played by the latter in the recent
financial troubles; thatit was due
largely to the attitude of the pless
that by urging the public to be
scalm in the emergency the SAT-
'est course was pursued. We
believe this article sets a proper
appreciation upon the work of the
newspapers in this connection. In
every community where bank
was operating the local papers
took it upon themselves to assure
the public that by acting sensibly
they would make their bank de-
posts perfectly safe; whereas, II
they became excited and started
trouble for the banks the injury
would fall rs much upon themsel-
YES as upon the repositories Of
their funds. The effect of this
soothing influence of the press is
seen in the fact that there were but
few runs started npon the banks.

kill the trusts all right. but it
would do other things also, and
principally to the public. 10 sud-
denly corral the trust heads in Jail
and suspend the charters of their
companies would also cause sus-
pension of operation in the indus
tries in which they are interested.
Let the Standard Oil Co., through
the arrest of its administrative
heads, cease operations in the pro-
dnction and distribution of petro..
leum products, what would it mean
to the world! Besides the drop
ping of thousands of men from
their customary employment and
means of livelihood, 1t would
cause an almost Immediate and
serious check upon large part of
the industry and commerce of the
world. There are no independent
oil companies in operation to i'm
mediateIy assume the function of
supplying the world with oil that
now devolves upon the Standard
company. This is not a defense of
that corporation, but a plain state
ment Of what any reasonable mind
must foresee by the adoption of a
course that would throw the great
commercial enterprises of the
country into chaos. Before deal
ing in radical terms with the pri-
vate owners of these enterprises
the government must provide the
means for a continuation of their
functions. This it could only do
by seizing such enterprises and
operating them as government in
stitutions, and it is pretty plain
that SO far no plans have been for
mulated at Washington for such
procedure. Many calamity has
happened by too much haste in
pulling the trigger. The slow evo-
luton of social processes will take
care of the trusts, but hardly in
the way recommended by the JEFF
Davises.

The Chinese OF San Jose Scale.

That this dangerous fruit tree
pest is already present in some
portions of the state is now well
known. In some sections i is
causing great damage to orchards.
In some localities methods of con-
troll have been successfully adopt
ed and the fruit trees are thus be-
ing saved. In other localities it is
probably present, but on accoun,
of recent introduction, fruit tree
owners are still unfamiliar with its
appearance and are consequently
unaware of it's presence npon their
premises. If allowed to continue
unchecked it is bat question of a
few years when young orchards,
now thrifty and vigorous, will be
practically destroyed.
The presence of the Chinese or
San Jose scale may be suspected
when the bark of twigs or the
trunk of trees or shrubs are found
covered with reddish or sunken
spots, when unnatural Redeemed
areas are seen upon the fruit or
when the bark becomes covered
over with an ashen or gray color
ed crust. This crust may be scrap.
ed off with a knife, the covering
coming away as thin scales. In
severe cases if the surface is rub
bed with the back of knife blade
the bark will assume a ''greasy'
or ''buttery" appearance due tc
the crushing of the bodies of count
less numbers of minute yellow
bodied insects which are beneath
the scale coverings. Examined
closely these scales will be seen to
consist of very small, circular,
nearly fiat objects of a sooty Or
grayish color, which in cases be-
come so numerous as to complete.
Iy cover all parts of the tree above
ground.
There are several common ma
tive scale insects which, on account
of somewhat similar appearance.
might at first examination for this
more destructive one. Therefore
in case an unhealthy looking tree
OR shrub answering even fairly
we'll to the above description is
found, piece of a twig or branch
or slice of the outer bark should
be sent at once by mail, accompan-
led by a letter giving details, and
also the name and address of the
sender to the State Fruit Expert
ment Station, Mountain Grove,
Missouri. The results of the ex-
animation of specimens SO sent
will be reported to the sender with
out delay.

Inheritance of Bad Record.

Some day the descendants of
this generation will look back and
wonder why their ancestors s:could
have endured to live in conditions
where human life was scarcely
more secure than in primitive say
agery, and they will curiously in
quire into the causes which made
murder 50 safe that it was the
first resort in every trifling brawl
and every petty lovers quarrel.
They will discover many causes,
but it may be assumed safely
enough that the principal one will
be that strange alliance which now
exists between~our courts and our
criminal classes. 1t is not an open
and avowed alliance, of course;
the courts are not even conscious
that it exists. The aid which they
extend to crime so promptly and
effectually is not recognized by
themselves as aid. They move to
the defence of murder and the des-
truction of ordered society under
the specious forms of liberty aud
legality. Their nihiIistic work is
done under sacred names and be-
hind the bulwark of generated
traditions. While they undermine
the social order, they delude them
selves with the fancy that they are
protecting it. While they encour-
age crime they imagine that they
are safeguarding innocence. The
courts are ready, seemingly eager,
to discharge criminal prisoners on
the most flimsy pretexts. Nothing
appears to be too trivial, no cas-
uistry too subtle, no technical in
genuity too far fetched, to serve
as a reason for turning loose mur-
derer'upon society.
The duty of government to pro-
tect life and property through the
courts seems almost to have been
abandoned, and our tribunals have
given themselves up to an orgy Of
| scholastic casuistry which practi-
cally insures the immunity of
| criminals. What is the cause of
it? Why do our Judges delight
in unrealities to the neglect of the
true interest of societya Why are
their brains possessed by unsub-
stantial trains Of logical quibbles
1 while the considerations which
move practical men to action are
| ieuored9 We must seek the rea-
| sou for the strange phenomenon
in the way our lawyers are educat
e<i. The bench is recruited from
the bar, and the propensity Of the
Judiciary to substitute airy abtrac-
tions for realities is acquired in
those schools where lawyers eb'
tain their professional training

Stops Train, Holds Engine for Taxes.

At Grandin Sheriff Jesse Gum,
Of Carter County, last Thursday
attached an engine slowly pulling
a freight train on the Current
branch of tie Frisco, and ordered
the engineer to the engine standing
on the side track.
The attachment was served for
taxes alleged to be due Carter

it is said, for some reason, has not
yet paid the taxes in Southern

ter authorities took summary and
