Chinch Bugs Menace Next Years Crop
Prof. ]. B. Parker, of the ento-
biological department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college at Manhat-
tan, has been investigating the chinch
bug situation at the Hays experiment
station during the past weeks. He
found many chinch bugs in the corn,
kaff1r corn and cane, and in the bunch
grass and blue stem in the pastures
and meadows where the bugs are now
gathering for winter protection. The
chinch bugs in this part of the county
are sufficiently numerous to indi-
cate that they may do much harm
next season unless strenuous meas
ures are taken to destroy them. The
experiment station will undertake to
destroy all the chinch bugs on the ex-
perimental farm and hopes to CO.
operate with the farmers throughout
this locality and throughout the coun-
ty so as to fully destroy the chinch
bugs and prevent damage to our crops
next season. The details for plans for
destroying the chinch bugs will be an
nounced later.

Saloons Issue i'm Wisconsin.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 5.-Muni-
cipal elections, in nearly all of which
the liquor question is the leading
issue, are being held today through
out Wisconsin. The no-license forces
have for the first time invaded many
of the larger cities, including James
vile, Racine, Neenah, Fond du Lac,
Kenosha, Beloit, Madison, De Pere
and Green Bay. A little more than
half of Wisconsin is already dry"
and the temperance element believes
that the no-saloon territory will re-
ceive large accessions as a result of
today's elections in nearly 500 COM
munities. At the same time the liz
uor interests are waging a vigorous
fight in an effort to win back as
much of the dry territory as pos
sible Interest in the results Of the
municipal elections is increased by
the general expectation that county
option will figure as the paramount
issue in the gubernatorial campaign
in Wisconsin this fall.

Open River Enthusiasm.

Spokane, April Professor W.
D. Lyman of Walla Walla, represent
ing the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, is waging an active cam
paign in this district for the open
ing of the Columbia river from Rev.
elstoke, B. c., by way of Kettle Falls,
Wash, to the Pacific ocean, to pro-
vide a waterway of 900 miles. The
cost of the work on the American
side is estimated at between $1,000
600 and $S,0O0,O00, to which is ad-
ded S1,000,000 to improve Snake
river from its mouth to Lewiston,
Idaho. He believes the work can be
done within five years, and he points
to its completion as the solution of
the freight rate problem for Spokane
and common points in the Northwest,
saying also that the opening of the
rivers to navigation will mean the
construction of hundreds of miles of
electric railway lines in Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington. This, he adds.
will provide waterway competition
with transcontinental lines, which ex-
perts in rate matters hold, is the fun
damental principle underlying cheap
transportation for cities and districts

POETS DESCEND.
ANTS FEASTEO

London, April 5-A decidedly in
teresting event of a rather unusual
character was the banquet which
was given in honor of the memory
Of England's poets, by the Poetry
Recital society. The date was espec-
tally selected in commemoration of
Swinburne's birthday. What made
the banquet exceptionally odd was
the fact that large number of well
authenticated descendants of British
poets had been invited to the func-
ton and had awaited themselves of
the invitations. AS many of these
guests were quite ordinary trades
people or belonged to even a lower
stratum of society, it may be mag
ined that the banquet was a rather
mixed affair. Among those present
were Lord Crewe, the chairman of
the banquet, Lady Margaret Sackville,
the president of the society; Frank
Hart and some of his brothers and
sisters, who are directly descended
from Joan, sister of William
Shakespeare; Lady Wentworth, a
great granddaughter of the poet By
ron; Miss Maud Southey, a grand
daughter of the poet Southey; Mrs.
Rivett Carnac, descendant of
George Crabbe; the Duke of Norfolk,
a descendant of the Earl of Surrey
and the Baroness de Beryouch, a
descendant of John Wilmot, the poet
Earl of Rochester.

Taft and Wilson.

President Tsft's blunders in the Ma
tional administration remind one very
much of certain features which have
stood prominently in that Of Gov. Will
son in Kentucky. Col. William r. Mel
son. editor of the Kansas City Star and
a pioneer in the Taft band wagon, de-
clares that ''if the presidential election
were to be held this year, Mr.. Taft
could not carry state west Of the Al
iegheny mountains" And in describing
the growing hostility of public opinion
since it became apparent that Taft has
been supporting Cannon and Aldrich in
their alignment with the Interests"
and against the people, Editor Nelson
saws, "In all this transformation of
public opinion there has been little Bit
terness. Instead. there has been gen.
eral sorrow over the loss of confidence
in a President Of charming personali-
ty. who, partly from temperament,
partly from lack of ssgacity, partly
from deficiency in aggressive. militant
earnestness, has alienated the people
who believed they had found in him
the man TO carry on the work begun by
Roosevelt"
And those who have closely watched
the work of Gov. Wilson during the
two and half years of his administra-
ton and dare speak their candid opin-
ions, will say that in a great many
ways these references to Taft apply apt
" TO the Governor. There's no deny
ing the attactive personality of the
man. No better boon companion ere
gathered at banquet board or Drawer
ra .onteur told deeds of love and war.
But in the Governors chair, with prob
lens of state in the balance, a weakti
hand at the helm or more vascillatine
executive judgment could hardly be i'm
agined. 1t is a byword in Frankfort
that no one ever knows what Gov. Will
son is going to do; nor does he. Thrice
that the public knows of he has haC
in typewriter form vetoes on import
ant legislation only to withdraw then
on the eve of formal announcement
and then send in approval of the bills
The latest advocate to obtain the exec
utive ear generally influences the poll
cy that becomes the gubernatorial die
tum. Meaning well himself, he as
sumes that others are actuated Away
by sincerest motives, and believing
thus, like Taft, has more often thai
not permitted himself to become tn
plant tool of those who care little TO
the veal or woe of the commonwealth
can they but fatten on the public purse
How greatly the resemblance be
tween the two executives grows, a
they are compared! Few doubt tina
they really want to do what is best. bu
how far short they are falling of salts
flying the people that they and the par
ty they represent are competent to safe
guard the state and nation!
