which Harmon was renominated for governor ny the

the logical and most available candidate of the

THE PEOPLES FORUM
How 10 Get Rid Of All Flies

Editor OF The Virginian:
Sn,-By little observation, 1t will be noticed that
flies will gather the windows at certain times OF
the day especially In the early morning, when the
is shining the window, If the room Is dark
ened little. When flies gather windows in this
way they always crawl near to the top as they
go.
IL there Is little opening left, they will go out
BY placing the screen under the outside sash and
pulling the inside sash down about inch below the
top of the screen, it will leave small opening, and
the flies will go out but will not back.
The shade should be pulled down even with the
bottom of the inside sash
The ordinary adjustable is all that Is needed,
but it should fit up closely under the outside
sash.
in the ordinary way or how careful the occupants
may be, flies will be found. ] have seen some
houses that were screened and yet full of flies
If the screens are placed above described, the
house will be entirely free of flies.
Every lily will crawl out If given opportunity.

DEALING FOR THE cITY-A WARNING

Business is Business and one of the fund
amcntals Of business is avoidance of risk SO far
consistent with the average of profit.
We therefore have no complaint to make of
those contractors who, in answering the citys
advertisement for bids for paving, got together,
sized up the job and stihcd competition by
parccIing out the work among Themselves, each
man filing an identical and lowest bid for a
portion of the work to be done.
That was question of policy for the bidders
to determine. II was done with openness ar
frankly. The collision was honest. The city
knew the character of contract which was ten
dered it,
so far as the city was concerned, however the
matter lies in different light. The committee
that made the award ought to have had as its
chief concern the idea of obtaining the best
quality of work at the cheapest price. It was
put notice that. by the method by which its
offer was met, competition had been stifed 1t
followed on reason and experience that it was
asked to pay more for work which, under com
petitive conditions, would have been done more
cheaplv. And it ought to have been on notice
that in making the award It's duty was, as trustee
for the people, to exercise even higher degree
of business canton than if it had been contract
ing for its own personal benefit.
According 10 the latter test, what would an
individual do under similar circumstances
Would not the marked similarity in bids have
led him to reject them all, and try again Would
he not instead of paying the price demanded,
have sought a lower price And ought not city
officials dealing for the whole people spending
the peoples and not their own money, deal for
the people carefully as they would DEAF for
themselves, and more carefully
1t happens that the contracts involved were
comparatively small. The money lost is. as it
happens. inconsiderable in the light of the citvs
expense budget. But the principle involved is of
the utmost Importance. What happens in small
way can well happen in large. In saying that
when it failed to reject these colIusve bids when
it failed, if necessary to gain competition, to 90
abroad 10 have work done which could not be
let on a competitive basis in Richmond the board
that let this work failed of its duty we protest
in no spirit of undue criticism but rather in
spirit of warning against the things that may
be, rather than the thing that has been.

The decision in the Parson-Saunders con-
test is clearly for political effect. That it can
be of no other effect is manifest from the fact
that the report will not be submitted to the House
until after another election, and with an inn
pending Democratic majority in the House even
its political effect will be insignificant, even if
it be etfcacous.

DREDGING GREEKS.

We have been watching with interest the sue
cessful operation in North Carolina of home
made creek dredger, which, in use in semi
mountainous counties, has been found capable
of retaining to agriculture thousands of acres
of rich bottom lands, hitherto useless. As we
understand. the theory upon which the dredge is
operated, it is intended both to procure better
drainage into the streams from swampy or
'sobbed' land and by preparing deeper chan
mel, to provide way for the escape of water from
freshets, which usually overflow tillable meadow
lands, thus rendering their cultivation imprac-
ticable. What has thus been a dream waiting
upon aid from the Government or State has
in the foothills of the Blue Ridge been put into
remunerative practice by practical men who have
had the enterprise to exploit the resources that
are waiting wherever there is land which, for
one reason or another, has been permitted to lie
idle. This land is, of course, generally that which
is richest and potentially most valuable. Who
ever develops and brings it into cultivation is
adding asset TO the natural wealth of the world
as certainly as one increases the worlds capital
who opens and develops gold mine.
A light on these dredges may be gained by a
clipping from the Newton Enterprise, which

So far as we have been sbe TO learn, the creek
dredge, at least to the extent of It's development
in the section referred to, IS peculiar to that por-
ton of North Carolina il and about Catawba
and Lincoln counties. In every State there are
thousands on thousands OF acres of practically
useless land, all of which might be reclaimed
by this tried and economical method. We call
attention to it in order that the people of every
section situated may investigate the condi-
lions under which the dredge operates, how it is
