A Srong Parallel.

The Bible tells the story of Demetrius,
the shrine-maker of Ephesus, who saw
in the gospel of the true God that Paul
came to preach an end of his profitable
business as maker of shrines of Diana.
Demetrius realized that if Diana ceased
to be the goddess of the Ephes,ans, they
would no longer worship at her shrines
of silver and gold. He did not put his
protest on the true ground that If Paul's
teachings were accepted his business
would be interfered with. He was too
shrewd for that. He warily appealed to
the religious patriotism OF the people,
and raised up a mob against Paul by
crying out, Great is Diana, the god
dess of the Ephesians, and this man has
come to destroy her!" So we hear to-
day protests against enforcing the law
relating to corporations and tending to
prevent evil practices. The protest is
usually placed on the ground that pros
perity is interfered with. No legitimate
business can be hurt by eliminating the
evil that may be in it. The insurance
companies and the beefpackers are in a
better position to-day than they would
have been had they not gone through
the cleansing process.-[Gov. Folk of
Missouri in the Youths Companion.

The death of James Jeffrey Roche, the
brilliant Irish editor of the Boston Pilot,

foreign appointment. "Mr. Roche, !"

Col. George Harvey sailed for Europe
last week but before he left us he said
that Taft and Hughes would be the re-
publican standard bearers and Wilson
and Johnson the democratic leaders. 1t
was ever so kind in the editor of
Harper's Weekly to fix it all up without
any more scrapping. At the same time
it is interesting to note that notwith-
standing the fact that Harper's Weekly
has been knocking" Taft, the editor of
Harper's Weekly expects he will receive
the nomination And he probably will.

Congressman HaSkinS.

We commend to the careful reading by
the voters of the Second district the
article elsewhere published from the
Brattleboro Phoenix stating some facts
about the Congressional contest which
was formally opened last week. Editor
French shows conclusively that some
statements made by the Mortified News
were incorrect and states other impor-
tant facts with reference to Mr.. Haskins
of which Vermonters have little knowl-
edge. AS is we'll known to our readers,
Congressman Haskins is chairman of the
committee on war claims where he has
been of great service both to his country
and his state. This committee has now
under consideration some 5000 bills in
volving more than $50,000,000, and it
requires constant hard work to sift out
the dross and recommend only the
worthy claims. The committee do not
propose to have the government de-
nauded by unjust ana Illegal claims
growing out of the various wars in
which our country has been engaged. 1t
is recognized as one of the important
committees of the House and a hard
worked one. One bill, for instance,
which Mr.. Haskins introduced in IAN
uary, had 1924 items involving over
$311,000. In the preparation of this
bill it required examination into the
decisions of the Court of Claims in each
of the 324 cases. This is but one phase
of the daily work of our Industrious and
faithful representative who is now a
candidate for reelection at the height OF
his usefulness and influence in Congress.

Congressman D. ]. Foster has presided
over the House OF Representatives most
of the time for the last two weeks while
the House has been resolved into com
mittee OF the whole on the State of the
Union to consider the agricultural APP

The WARNING SicnsIs.

A Boston physician tells story of 6
youngster of his own that an over
strenuous vacation had put on the sick
list. The father had an appropriate
prescription filed and left the bottle
with the child's mother. AS she. how
ever, is very forgetful he gave her a
chart and suggested that she set down
the hours when the medicine should
be given, checking Off each dose as
taken. Upon returning from his even
ing calls. however. he found the chart
blank.
Good gracious, Nary he exclaim-
ed. Surely you haven't failed to give
Tom his medicine?''
"Oh, no. did not miss a single
time" his wife assured him.
How in the world did you remem-
Der It without the chart?'' be asked.
She smiled.
That was easy. just told Tom
this morning at what hours be was to
have 1t, and half an hour before each
time he would begin hallooing that he
wouldn't take it.'-Philadelphia Jetlp.

Ceylon White Ants and Their Nurer
Gus Natural Enemies.

1t is estimated that two-thirds Of the
island OF Ceylon is undermined by
white ants. The number of these in
sects is certainly quite incalculab Bile, but
1t is fortunate that their natural enc
mics are almost as numerous
The workers are proved upon by true
ants and many other insects; by spi-
ders, lizards and centipeds; by rats,
mice and palm squirrels. But it is
the adult winged insects that are espe-
cially victimized. 1t is probable that
scarcely l per cent of the mature i'll
sects survive the dangers of the pc
riodic fights
They run the gantlet of nearly ey-
cry other animal. Birds, bats, squir-
rels, rats, toads and lizards all flock
to the feast Dogs and cats eat the
winged ants with avidity.

There is more Catarrn In this Sec

local treatment, pronounced it incur

KEPT COMING AND GOING.
Nearly a Million Emigrants Came,
While Many Went Back.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Until
the past year it has never been posi-
BILE to ascertain the net addition to
the population by immigration and
the result is surprising to the depart
ment of commerce and labor. Dur
ing the fiscal year the total immigra-
ton was o24,000 while the outward
movement, the alien emigration, was
715,000 The latter figure is based on
the assumption that the emigration
for June, figures for which are not
entirely-at hand, was about equal to
the previous month. Deducting the
alien emigration from the alien immi-
grafton for the year leaves net in
crease of 100000 Secretary Straus
said today that all official figures of
the department OF the previous years
considered in respect to the addition
tion to the population by immigration
must be reduced from 80 to rs per
cent

FIGHTING CHOLERA.
Efforts Being Successfully Made to
Control il in Luxon.

MANILA, Sept. 3.-Governor-Gen-
eral Smith has gone to the northern
portion of the island OF Luzon to
make a personal inspection of the dis
tricts infected with cholera and to
urge the native officials in such dis
tricts to lend their aid in the carrying
out of various sanitary measures, in
Guiding a general cleaning up of the
towns. The number OF new cases OF
the plague reported is declining
steadily and it is now believed that
the spread of the epidemic has been
conquered.
A few cases OF the disease have ap-
peared in Manila coming chiefly from
northern provinces, but the local
health officers have been successful in
preventing the plague from gaining
foothold here.
There is a marked decline in the
number of deaths due to cholera and
in the total number of cases reported
from all provinces.
