RIGHT TO CRITICIsE.
Jury UphoIds Exposure by Press OF
Misconduct in Office.

The jury in the libel suit for $780,
900 brought by L. E. Jones, formerly
county auditor, against the Ohio
State Journal, Columbus, brought in
a verdict for the defendant. 1t is re-
ported by the Journal as a vindica-
ton of the right of the press fearless
ly to expose misconduct in public Of
fee.
In it's charges the State Journal
said: "The conduct of the county
auditors Office during the past four
years has been marked by greater dis
regard of public interest and bolder
methods of personal graft than have
ever obtained in any Cfice in the his
tory of Franklin county," At the
same time the Journal revealed meth
ods by which the inventories in the
probate court of dead mems estates
had been used to gain information
concerning omitted property upon
which tax inquisitors had been paid
thousands of dollars. The inquisitor
was not legally entitled to the per-
centage upon such property.
In the prosecution Of the suit for
libel Mr.. Jones sought to show that
the State Journals charges were not
true.-American Press.

TO PROTECT TIRE Es.

Mr.. I. +. Spencer has requested
us to call the attention of our read.
ers to method of protecting shade
and fruit trees from the ravages of
the tree bore. The recent snow
storm broke several of his elm
trees, and in clearing away the
debris discovered that the real
cause of the breakage was the bore.
In several instances this worm had
entered the body of the tree and had
dug out hole rs much as foot and
a half deep. Limbs have been encir-
cl,d, causing decay and weakening
the same 80 that they are easily bro.
ken off. This orchard pest is not q
newcomer but has been the cause of
the ruinatiou OF many fine orchards.
The following directions, he states,
will effeotually save the tree: Clean
out thoroughly all the powdered
wood where the worms have worked
under the bark Probe the hcles
with wire for worms. Wash out
with gasoline to kill eggs. Fill the
opening with pitch.
