railroads, arrogating leadership in an economic development the scientific principles and practical details of which they altogether misunderstood.
 Unfriendly criticism has portrayed these steps as bearing fruit only in the disturbance of business. To this the facts furnish a complete refutation. The steady judicial assertion of eX- elusive national authority over the in terstate traffic of the railroads, and the no less steady assertion of the leg islative and executive branches that the authority shall be used to correct evils arising from lack of regulation, are not sparodic but constant, nor have the measures framed, matured and enacted by congress inflicted in- jury upon or given just cause to com plaint to legitimate interests.
 Nor is it true that the measures which have reached the matured form of national legislation include attack, enmity or injury to sound business in terests, either corporate or private. Extreme propositions may have been made but they have not largely pre- vailed in the completed enactments by congress. On the contrary these laws, rightly seen, mean a sounder, strong CT and more widely diffused prosperity for the real corporate interests, name ly. the owners of the railroad shares and securities.
 It is as much to the interest of the security holders that fayoritism in rates and the fiat quality in eapitaliza- ton shall be prevented as it is to the interest of the public that railroad capital shall earn a fair return on actual and uninflated investment. Railroad revenues cannot attain their broadest and most stable dimensions when dwarfed and diverted by these abuses; nor can the wide increase of transportation facilities needed by growing commerce be secured. unless it offers to the investment of actual capital an adequate and reasonably assured return.
 We must not forget that the effica- cy of all law lies in the integrity and persistence of its enforcement A d. version of public opinion into inatten- ton or oblivion may easily be reflected in negligent or partial enforcement Again that, the only perceptible pos slbility of mooted reaction must be maintained an active and educated popular sentiment, judging truly the depth and breadth of the interests at stake. resolved to avoid on one side the rocks of corporate privilege and favoritism without failing on the other ] side into the whirlpool of destructive | and confiscatory retaliation
 For the maintenance of that en- ! frightened popular opinion. the co-op- i eration of sincere and honest men,
 laying aside private interest or per sonal prejudice for the common wei ] fore. is invoked as the highest duty of
 patriotic citizenship.

LINDEN MOTHS.
Many Acres In the CatskilIs DefoIiat.
ed by the Pest Last Summer
and This

Albany, July 81. State Entomolo-
gist &. p. Felt said that the numerous
small white moths so abundant about
the electric lights in Albany, Troy,
New York and Brooklyn, and pre-
sumably other cities in the state, are
known as "Snow white Linden moths"
insects which in earlier years were
most destructive pests to shade trees.
"The caterpillars producing these
moths" said DR.. Felt, "are dark
brown measuring-worms about two
inches long when full grown. They
display marked preference for lind.
ems, though they feed readily upon
variety of trees, such as elms and
naples, and in forests they thrive
upon beech.
MANY acres in theCatskills were de-
foilated by this pest last summer, and
the same work Is being continued the
present season. Residents Of cities
have little to fear because the English
sparrows feed readily upon the moths
and will doubtless prevent the insect
from becoming abundant enough to
cause serious damage"

TO REGULATE AIRSHIPS.
Florida Mayor Has Ordinance Fixing
Balloon Limits.

Kissimmee, Fla, July 21.-For mod.
ernity Kissimmee may safely and
boldly challenge comparison with the
entire municipal universe. Neither in
France, where Santos Dumont and
Henry Farman are already carrying
passengers by the air route; nor In
Ohio, where the Wright brothers are
said to be Incorporating an air glide
company; nor in Germany, where
syndicate OF powerful capitalists is
now organizing a gigantic airship COM
pany for the Inauguration of freight
and passenger service between the
European capitals, has any attempt
yet been made to regulate airship
traffic by appropriate municipal legis-
lation.
Mayor T. NJ. Murphy has prepared
an ordinance designed to regulate all
airship traffic, the passage of which
he will Immediately recommend to the
council in a special message. 1t is
entitled, "An ordinance regulating
the status and the employment of air
ships within Kissimmee City"
Section l says: For the purpose Of
this ordinance, the boundaries of the
town and the boundaries of the airship
limit of the town shall be held to ex-
tend upwards in vertical direction
to distance Of twenty miles in the
sky, and the area of the airship limit
Of the town shall be the same as that
of the fire limit of the town"
Another section provides that the
marshal shall have an aeroplane to
chase offenders, while another pro-
vides for license tax on all styles of
air machines. Ninety days in Jail or
a fine Of $500 is the penalty for ipfrac-
tions.

Retired Minister Shot to Death.

f. b. d. Prickett, retired minister
of the Methodist Episcopal church and
former recorder of Metuchen, n.
j.. was shot down and killed in the
street near his home. Archie Her
ron, charged with the shooting, stood
at the head of the stairs in his home
with a drawn revolver to defy arrest,
but finally surrendered when the Off
GERS told him he would be taken dead
or alive no matter how many he
killed.
Mr.. Prickett was 6S years of age
and had charges in various Methodist
churches in this state. He was editor
of the Metuchen Recorder, a weekly
paper. Two years ago he was re-
corder of the borough.
Two years ago, while Mr.. Prickett
was recorder, Heron was frequently
arraigned before him for disorderly
conduct and was once sentenced to
ten days in jail
After the shooting Heron went to
his home couple of blocks away and
on the way met Mrs. Charles Prickett,
who ran out of her house on hearing
the shot. She asked Heron what he
mad done and he replied that she
would find out soon enough.
