are only now coming to the front
for solution, and his private views
have always been tine same as he is
now expressing freely. in his great
speeches. I think Clapp has been
wise in not getting too far ahead
of the people. If he had been an
agitation twenty years ago. like N.Y.
self and some others, he probably
would not now be senator, and hence
In no position to do any good. .
Nearly two years ago, he told me
what he expected would soon happen

this does happen, as I feel sure it
will, I shall have an opportunity to

Will Attempt to Find Methods to
Eradicate Alfalfa Pest.
WORKS IN THE WEST.
Most Destructive in Region of
Salt Lake.
Rapid Rise of Topeka High
School Boy.

Eugene G. Smyth, a Topeka boy.
who is chronological assistant in the
United States department of agricuI
ture, has gone to Arizona, where he
will spend the summer studying the
operations of the alfalfa weevil and
other alfalfa insects. Mr.. Smyth re-
Gently returned from trip to Smy-
rna, where he spent five months fight
ing the big worms. AS soon as his
work was completed, he was assigned
to the Arizona task
Before leaving for Arizona, Mr..
Smyth stopped in Topeka for visit
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ber-
nard B. Smyth, of LOG East 18th
street. While in Topeka Mr.. Smyth
stated that he believed a hard sum-
mer's crusade would put the alfalfa
weevil out of business and save thou
sands of dollars to western alfalfa
raisers.
The alfalfa weevil has been parti-
cularly busy in the district surround
ing Salt Lake City, said Mr.. Smyth,
land its operations are extending rap
idly. For this reason it is necessary
for us to get on the ground as soon as
possible. We have learned that the
weevil has destroyed 80 per cent of
the alfalfa crop in the district where
it is now operating. Very little can
be done to benefit conditions III the
infested district, but we hope to check
the weevils ravages in other territory
and to eventually stamp out it's work

in Utah. The sulphur butterfly is do
ing the most damage in southern Cal
ifornia and Arizona at the present
time, but we can take care of it with
out so much trouble. The butterfly
is noticeable on Kansas alfalfa con-
tinued the young man, but the dam
age has not been so great as in the
far western territory. The weevil
does not bother this district.
When young Smyth was in Topeka
high school, he studied entomology
and made several trips to Arizona
with DR.. F. H. Snow as early as 1903
He continued these visits each year
until 1907. Then he attended Chicago
University and later entered the gov
eminent agricultural department as al
assistant entomologist.
Reformed Fig Business.
His first big assignment was tn
Smyrna trouble. For several year;
the import figs. Smyth was sent tc
New York to look into the case. He
found a large per cent of the figs re-
ceived in this country were wormy and
packed in a most unprofessional man
ner and shipped from the foreign port
in an unsanitary condition. Then
came the Wilson ruling to the effect
that figs received in United States
ports which showed more than "a per
cent worm infested should be rejected
| his started trouble. ln0 lOIGlSH
dealers declared the ruling was in
favor of the California dealers and
was an effort on the part of the gov
! ernment to injure the Smyrna bust
ness. For some months the exchange
of mpliments was warm.
Then Smyth was sent to Smyrna.
For five months he investigated con-
ditions, suggested reforms and educat-
ed the dealers in modern methods Of
fig shipments. More than $4,000
worth of the Smyrna figs had been
stopped in American ports and for a
few weeks the Smyrna dealers did not
invite Smyth to attend their pink tea
parties. But Smyth stayed right on
the job. He convinced the dealers that
about so per cent of the trouble could
be eliminated with a little labor and
some expense. Still the Smyrna mer-
chants grumbled. An investigation
showed that most of the trouble tsart-
ed in the fig depots of the interior and
on the beds on which figs were dried.
After three months Smyth cOnvinc-
ed the Smyrna merchants of the error
of their way. He showed them that
the steam and hot air process put
their figs in better shape, commanded
higher value and saved no end of
trouble. Then the Topeka boy re-
| turned home. His work made a hit
| with Uncle Sans agricultural depart
ment. Now Smyth lands some of the
/ big jobs at the disposal of the gov
| ernment The Arizona investigation
| is a knotty problem. 1t requires judg-
ment and research to get by with the
situation, but young Smyth will camp
on the Arizona soil until the alfalfa
weevil concludes to hunt more prom
! Using territory. Then Smyth will
probably follow him.

Kansas National Guardsmen EX-
cited Over Examination.
Many Questions Have Reference
to Japan.
POWER OF EXPLOSIVES
This Also Is a Feature OF the
QuiZzeS.
Adjutant General Martin Says
There's No Reason for Alarm.

Members of the Kansas National
guard are becoming quite excited over
the list of questions sent out to the
officers for the spring examination
The questions take an entirely differ
ent turn from any sent out formerly
and much space is devoted to Japan
and possibilities in the event of a war.
The queries also take up many queS--
tions about the force of various ex-
plosives and the power of. different
rifles.
The state conducts correspondence
school for the members of the guard
and the officers. A list of books is
sent out and at stated periods a set of
questions is sent to each man. The
questions are based on the books and
the ranking of the officers is fixed &C.
cording to the correctness of the an
swers given Many of the officers and
men believe that the government and
state military auth critics have a deep
er purpose in giving out the present
question than the average person
would not discover. The questions re-
late entirely to war subjects and not
to any Instructions or orders that
usually are given out in a time of
peace.
c. I. Martin adjutaut general of the
K. n. G. said today that there should
not be any undue excitement about
these questions as it just happened
that this set should come out at this
time when there was talk of pos
One of the questions is: How long
is bullet of the United States maya
zine rifle in the air during its maxi
mum flight?' Another wants to know
the relative power of dynamite, nitro
glycerine, nitro-gelatine and gun cot
ton. Another wants to know the pene-
trating power of the different rifles
used by the government, siege guns,
artillery navy rifles and the small
magazine rifles carried by infantry
men.
Another question asks about the
war strength of the United States and
Of other countries, especially Japan
and the territory of the United States
and the island possessions. Question
is is, What would be the probable
number of transports, largest size, re-
CURED to transport an army of 100000
men from Japan to the western coast
of the United States?'' The next
question asks how long it would take
this fleet to reach the United States.
The last and most important questions
of the set follows:
what opinion have you on the fol-
lowing hypothesis: Japan, without
making any declaration of intention to
attack any nation, commences to EN-
bark a large army of. say. 100000
men, on her transports at Yokohama
and Nagasaki- What action would the
United States take -
The officers of the guard are expect
ed to make a full and complete an
swer and discussion of all the posi-
bilitieS that might arise should such a
force be embarked. A discussion OF
what the government would do re-
garding the calling out of the regular
troops and the National guard of the
various states and the disposition OF

matters in Shawnee county to be taken
up at once so the governor was urged
to make the appointment.
Mr.. Whitcomb was the only candi-
date for the place and there never has
been any doubt of his appointment.
The County Bar association endorsed
Judge Whitcomb for the position. The
governor and the judges of the SUI
preme court knew much of Mr.. Whit
comb. He was one of the receivers
in the suits which, drove the brewing
companies out of the state. He is one
of the best known attorneys practicing
in Topeka and also one of the most
popular ones.
George H. Whitcomb was born in
Stockbridge. VT, in 1858. He was ed
ucated in the common schools, at Til
ton seminary, Dartmouth college and
the Boston University Law school. He
was admitted to the bar in 1887 and
came to Topeka in that year to make
this his home. For ten years the law
firm was Fuller & Whitcomb. Then
Judge Whitcomb practiced alone until
1903 when the present partnership with
Clad Hamilton was formed. Judge
Whitcomb was married in 1888 at Full
ton, Mo-, to Miss Jessie Wright, a tai
ented woman who is also a lawyer and
for time had an office with her hus-
band
