America is threatened with another
pest. The French brown-tail moth Is
almost, II not quite, in the midst of us.
He came over In nursery packages
from France and Is only awaiting the
gladstone days Of spring to break
FORTH expand and begin posting, just
as though he were at the old stand.
He will compete as foreign pauper
pest with our own infant industries In
the pest line. II you do not know what
the French brown-tail moth does to
the human race you will learn If he de-
cides to sojourn among us and to in
crease and multiply, says the Chicago
Daily News. Archery is his hobby.
Unlike the bee and the mosquito,
which have but one singer, the little
French brown-tail carries a culver full
of arrows, which he shoots in passing
as small boy trains his popgun on a
bald head. There is no chance to slap
him on the wrist IN return, for he
stings without alighting and then
moves on to the next victim. No won
der the scientists who saw him first
are very anxious to find way to put
him gently to the bad.

A report declares that in the state
Of New York marriages have de-
creased 10000 during the past year.
Yet this is President Roosevelt's own
commonwealth. 1t is more than likely
that the depressed condition in many
lines Of business and labor will &C.
count for much of this falling off. In
the early part of the year thousands
of men were out Of employment and
were probably looking for work harder
than they were looking for wives. The
present year gives promise of being a
prosperous one, and it is safe to pre-
dict that the marriage record in the
Empire state for 1909 will make far
more satisfactory showing.

The Chicago professors theory that
marriage licenses should not be used
until six months after they are issued
is evidently for the purpose Of prevent
ing hasty marriages. But why not go
further? Say that marriage licenses
shall not be used until the last Install
ment on the furniture is paid; or I'M
til both parties to the match have cut
their wisdom teeth. Certainly mar
riage licenses should not be used until
after the ink on the divorce decree is
dry.

trate the Buddhist attitude toward life.
The very essence of Buddhist thought,
as DR.. Bigelow interprets it, is the idea
OF limitless spiritual growth culminat-

through the enlargement of that con-
seriousness which is in US all, and
which is divine because 1t is infinite

loss Of point of view among women
who are clamoring for equal rights to
vote.
G. X. Chesterton, whatever may be
the merits or dement's OF his think
ing has the gift OF epigram to a mark
ed degree. In one OF his late novels
he sums up the situation.
THE attitude OF women In such
cases was indeed one of the para.
doxes of the place. Most Of the women
were OF the kind vaguely called eman'
cipated, and professed some protest
against male supremacy. Yet these
women would always pay to man
the extravagant compliment which no
ordinary woman ever pays to him,
that of listening while he is talking.
That is worth considering.

From the New York World.-Judge
Mulqueen in pronouncing sentence on
the chauffeur Darragh laid down a
line OF policy in the matter of punish
ment of automobile offenses of the
graver sort which is of the highest
judicial importance. His remarks
serve both as a warning to reckless
chauffeurs and as an assurance to the
public of a fuller protection. The
Judge. in an address to the prisoner
which is model of ca!mness and re-
strained force. pointed out the culpa-
bility of his act. the entirely fair and
impartial nature of his trial. the lack
OF prejudice on the part OF the prose-
cutting attorney and the merciful dis
position of the jury, which in the case
of rich or dissolute man might have
returned a verdict of murder. Dwell
ing on the adequacy of law enacted
before the automobile was known to
deal with the intolerable conditions"
it has created, he said:
1T is now incumbent on the court
to impose a sentence that will drive

Peace With Japan.

pS0CG WIN O0poUs
From the New FORK Evening Post.
Mr.. Taft went beyond the demands
Of international courtesy in his speech
at the banquet to Admiral Uriu re-
Gently. He spoke of Japan and her
emperor with an enthusiasm that
shows how large a part Of Mr.. Taft's
interests and affections are still cent
cred about the far east. Here is the
one statesman among US who knows
the Pacific best, and he finds in his
heart only words OF admiration and
amity for a nation with which, If you
listened to the blatant press and the
sand-lot politicians, we have been on
the verge of going to war at least
twice during the last three years. It
was while statesmen who did not
know Japan and the Pacific were at
the helm that the lingo was allowed
to run loose over the land. In view
of such a reception as the nation and
the president extend to a representa-
tive of the navy that was supposedly
planning to lay our coasts waste at
the earliest opportunity, the very
midsummer madness. Where now are
the thousand spies that went about
photographing and sketching; wnere
are the ten thousand Japanese veter-
ans skulking in the cellars of San
Francisco armed to the teeth? They
are here no longer. Disguised as
German walters, they are now photo
graphing and mapping England and
undermining the foundations of Lon
don Tower.
