MYTHICAL. RoMANoEE.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 The death few days ago of the Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovitch, eldest un- cle of the Czar of Russia and son of Czar Alexander H. who was assassinated in 1880, removes the ablest, the most irreconcilable and the bravest of the Rus sian imperial family. man of mighty frame of undaunted courage and of pow erful mind, Vladimir was easily the ablest member of the imperial house of Russia. Fortunately for the cause of constitu- tionalism, the throne fell to the easy going, good-natured and even weak minded Nicholas, yet for years Vladimir has been practically on the steps of the throne for had the present Czar died or been removed Vladimir would have be- come regent at once
 Although of large frame like his brother, the late Grand Duke Alexis, who died barely 60 days ago, he was a complete contrast to that degenerate in mental vigor, personal probity and ability. AL though a man of the world and well versed in all current affairs, Vladimir was a typical reactionary. He believed in the old autoeratic ideals and was pre- pared had he been given his way, to crush the new regime with a hand of iron. It was not that he was personally a hard or cruel man, as he does not ap- pear to have been either, but, like his brother, the late Czar Alexander III, he was a firm believer in the divine right of the Emperor to rule and the duty of all Russians to obey and uphold the au- tocracy of the czardom.
 It is probably a good thing for Russia that Vladimir has ended his career before the passing of the present Czar. Had he become regent by any accident there is little reason to doubt that he would have adopted reactionary methods and sought to crush the liberals, who have inaugu- rated the beginnings of constitutionalism in Russia.

Paris Green for Boil WeeYilS

While the Louisiana state pest com mission and the federal department of agriculture do not recommend applica- tions of Paris green in solution to cot ton plants infected with weevils, yet q good many planters in north Louis jana do have confidence in the method and in Captain Marsden's device for applying it. They say it does give pro- tection against the weevil.
 The habits of the weevil are in dis pute. The officials say it hibernates, meaning perhaps that it becomes lethargic after burrowing into the ground. Captain Marsden says the weevils that stumble into warm places live through the winter very much as some house flies do. He says they come out on warm days, and if Paris green be applied to the young cotton plants they will eat it and die. An application two weeks before fruitage will destroy the later brood.
 Captain Marsden's device is simple, and the cost of application is only 25 cents an acre. While" says the New Orleans Times-Democrat, there will be doubt of the success of the plan in face of the opinion of the entomolo- gists, though it has received the in- dorsement of practical farmers, it is as well that it should receive a full trial at the hands of it's friends, and this it is certain to get the coming season. If loss accrues it will be to those planters who have voluntarily declined to accept the advice of the scientists and settled upon the plan of a practical farmer, who is so consti- tuted that he is always sure of his position, and generally equally sure that opposition to his views is the re- suit either of ignorance or some un- worthy motive"

Restoring a Bit of History

Six miles from Washington is the largest single-span stone bridge in the world. This bridge arches over Cabin John Run on Acqueduct road. It was built in 1855, in Franklin Pierces ad' ministration, when Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War. When it was com pleted a tablet was placed on it bear ing the honored name of the Secretary of War in accordance with custom.
 The civil war came on, and during it's continuance some one was petty and malicious enough to have the name of the President of the Confed- eracy chiseled out of the tablet, and this dissertation of a bit of history stood until President Roosevelt ordered the Secretary of War to restore the original record on the tablet.
 Luke E. Wright is Secretary of War, and he no doubt will gladly see that the name of his old commander is re- stored to the bridge he built.
 The incident shows that the acerbi- ties of war are fast dying out Presi' dent Roosevelt should have restored the tablet several years ago, but the restoration is a gracious act at any time. Cabin John Bridge is a favorite drive and popular resort along the Potomac, and no doubt the change in the tablet will be freely discussed, and the chances are that it will be ap- proved by every fair-minded man.

THE LIBERTY BELL.

From the Washington Herald.
 We hope that it is not true that the
 dear old liberty bell is to be hauled across the continent to the forthcoming
 exposition at Seattle. Not that we do
 not wish that enterprise every possible
 measure of success, both artistically and
 financially but because we think this
 precious relic of the nations babyhood
 should be guarded jealously and with
 ever-increasing vigilance and care.
 The bell is feeling its age, if we may
 be permitted to so express it. It Is
 cracked in more than one place and in-
 clines to physical deterioration. Only a
 short time ago a new and gaping wound
 was discovered on it's body and another
 moving of it may do it serious and last
 ing harm. It has served it's day at shows
 and expositions. let it alone now-let it repose in the<peace, quiet, and dignified retirement it has so richly earned.
 In the Old World, throughout all the
 nations thereof there are many of
 these ancient reminders of the dead past the yesteryears, growing ever dinner and dinner through long stretches of the ages. Linking England with the days of Alfred and the later days of William
 the Norman and Rome with the grandeur of the Caesars, are hundreds of things precious in the sight of the people and potent In keeping alive the love of the fatherlands. With us-we are, after all,
 with all our pretentions. quite juvenile, you know-it is different. The liberty
 bell is one of the very few things we
 have closely and inseparately associated with our initial birthday--and with it we should take no chances whatsoever!
 Let the liberty bell remain right there in Philadelphia. where it belongs, for
 evermore. Let those who would cast their | eyes upon 1t go to if; let it not be sent | to them. We protest that it's t1nketing | days are no more. We object to 1t being l treated otherwise than it's venerable estate suggests as meet and proper un- der the circumstances of its present ex- | istence. It should be sacred to our | sight. And we should deny the right of | any man or men to disturb the sweet serenity of its declining years.

Regarding Masonic History.

Every one who keeps up with Masonic literature remarks two things, one of them being the modern scientific method in his- torical treatment and the other being the tendency to make a cult of the high de- grees.'' said Masonic veteran. "When I was first made a Mason all mythical stories and curious legends of tho craft were accepted as absolutely historic But Masonic scholars like MacKey, Pike and Drummond in this country and R. F.. Gould and William James Hughan of Eng land exploded myths that had been ac- cepted from time immemorial and taught us how to distinguish between fact, fable and allegory. Gould wrote the first ex- haustive history of Masonry It was pub lished about 25 or 30 years ago. It was in three large volumes, elegantly printed.
 q notice that some of our American Masons still use the term York Rite. Years ago Masonic students pointed out that there was once in England York rite, but thatSit ceased to exist in the early part of the last century. No Eng fish Mason of scholarly attainmerts ever uses the phrase, York Rite. In England the master Masons lodge, the ark mari ner's lodge the royal arch and the Tenn pars are known as the English rite fir contradiction to the Scottish Rite, which is the same in its degree system every where while the Masonry in the United States that used to be incorrectly called the York Rite, and still is by n few is known among well informed Masons as simply the American rite."

Conservation Here and Elsewhere


 The conservation movement begun in the United States has spread to Canada and Mexico. It has practically been. extended over the entire North American continent. The movement has long existed in some of the Euro pean countries, and the prospect now is that a conservation understanding will soon be secured among all the nations of the world. Certain it is that Canada and Mexico will second the efforts of the United States to secure a conservation of resources on this continent.
 It is important first of all to develop waterways, and to regulate them especially, to keep them from falling into monopolistic hands. AS fuel be- comes exhausted the waterways will become the great source of electric power All waste in the wealth Of our forests, in coal seams, in gas and oil fields, is to be prevented with view to prolonging the use of our natural resources to the utmost possible pe- riod. We already feel the pinch of increased prices, but actual famine can be long postponed if the natural products of this country and of Canada and Mexico are properly safeguardd.
 No movement promises greater bene- fits, and the administration has acted wisely in promoting the new move ment, for it was really begun in the Roosevelt administration. The states should assist in this matter, and so should every individual. The govern ment can not prevent all waste. In order to secure complete conservation there must be cooperation on the part of all citizens aided by the states and the general government
