Locusts Not Dangerous,
Says Chief Entomologist

The locust. SO called. Is not your
most fearful wild fowl alive as 1t Is
said by Bully Bottom.
The chief entomologist Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. DR.. 1. o. How
ard. said today that the bug known as
the locust is not a locust at all. but
a cicada. and offers little cause for
fear. The real locust. Dr. Howard said.
is a Rrasshopper. The cicada. he as
serted. offers so little cause for fear
that there have been no attempts to
devise an insecticide against him.
A field mouse or a rabbit. he declared.
does more damage to young trees than
cicadas in scores. The cicada does
eat good deal of the trees. Dr. How
ard said. but people ought not to have
panics over the periodical terrors raised
by 1.-The coming of the locusts.''
DR.. Howard said that there were no
plaques OF grasshoppers in late years
because improved cultivation had driven
them out. such cultivation displacing
the tough grasses they like as food
with tender plants Of usefulness.

Straus milk laboratory bill for passage,
the hearing held on this subject yes
terday will appeal to citizens OF Wash
ington as an encouraging sign. The
committee met at 10:3O a. m. and re-
matned in session until S:15 p. m, with
out adjourning for lunch. Every pos
sible argument in behalf Of the labora-
tory was accepted and considered. This
was the first hearing given by the new
committee, and It reveals a desire on
the part of members to pay serious at
tention to the needs of the National
Capital It is particularly refreshing
when It. is remembered that the House
District Committee did not hold a meet
ing during the last session.
An interesting legal point will be ar
gued in the Federal court for the
eastern district of Virginia on July 8,
when attorneys for the District and for
two prisoners recently sent to Occoquan,
thresh out the question whether Dis
trict prisoners can be confined on Vir-
ginia soil, even though the penal insti-
tuition in the Old Dominion is supposed
to be a District Jail. The lawyer who
has asked the prisoners release on writs
Of habeas corpus, maintains that the
District has no right to confine its pris-
oners anywhere except in the District.
If he should be upheld by the Federal
courts, the whole plan of handling
offenders by placing them in an agri-
cultural camp would have to be changed
and the expense to the District would
be considerable.

Cost of Growing King
Estimated in MunSey's

For King Georges coronation two
grants have already been made-the first
one of E1S5, 900, the second of 10000 ad-
ditionaI. Still using the ceremony Of
1902 as a precedent, let US see in what
manner these amounts, totaling nearly
million and a quarter of dollars. will
be distributed.
A large part of the money will go to
the great officers of the royal household
to whom will be assigned sums care
fully estimated to be sufficient to meet
the probable expenditure that will fall
upon each department in the carrying
out of its specific functions.
In this way the lord chamberlain will
receive the wherewtthal to prepare
apartments for the use of the foreign
princes and ENJOYS who will assemble
for the great ceremonial. He must also
provide for the allowances made to the
royal servants for the additional serv-
ices required of them at coronation
To the lord steward will be allotted
moneys for the actual entertainment of
the royal princes and other visitors Of
high rank The master of the horse, a
nigh official in the Kings household, will
supply them with means of locomodon,
whether by rail, automobile, carriages, or
riding horses, as may be necessary, or
as they may desire: and his outlay is,
of course, REIN bursed by the state

HARLAN GOOD WILL
ON HIS BIRTHDAY
Senior Jurist Is Seventy.
eight, and Says He Does
Not Feel 1t.

Showered with congratulations and
commendation for his single-handeo
stand against judicial legislation -
John Marshall Harlan, senior Justice
Of the Supreme Court OF the United
States. is celebrating today the seventy
eighth anniversary Of his birth.
Hale, hearty, and happy, Justice Har-
Ian sat on the spacious veranda of his
home, in Fourteenth street, today and
smiled and laughed like a care-free
school boy as postmen and messenger
boys brought him messages Of con-
graduation from all parts OF the coun-
try, while men high IN public and Of
fetal life called to pay their respects to
the venerable jurist.
RETIRE. responded the Justice in re-
ply to a question, why, I'm not an old
Ian. I'm seventy-eight, but / don I
feel more than half that number Of
years.
Yes, sometimes 1 have thought 1t
would be pleasant to retire, but when
come face to face with the problem l
shrink from II. I have no desire to
Toll about on account of my age.
''At this time I have no purpose to
quit my position. Only twice in my life
have / been sick. With those excep-
tions / have been absent from court
only twenty days during my entire Ju-
dicial career. With such health. why
should any man want TO retire?
ION December 10. of this year, shall
have beep on the Supreme Bench Of the
United States for thirty-four years.
This is as long as any man ever served.
IN frn,
l shall have served longer than any
other justice"
Justice Harlan is absolutely confident
in the position he has taken against his
eight associates on the bench in the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trust cases
the two most important in years. But
the jurist was not thinking of judicial
matters today. The weight of respon-
sibility as a member of the highest ju-
dicial tribunal in the country had been
cast from his shoulders; he was Just
enjoying himself, and doing nothing
else.
In many of the messages were words
of approval for his attitude in the trust
cases. The justice smiled as he read
them, and without comment handed
them over for some friend to glance
through. 1t was a whole lot of salts
faction to the justice to know that his
many friends from one end of the coun-
try to the other were commencing him
for his stand.
Seventy-eight years ago today Justice
Harlan was born in Boyle county, Ky.
He studied law at Pennsylvania Uni
versity, and later received the degree Of
IL B. from Bowdoin. Center College,
Princeton, and the University of Penn
sylvania. On December %, 1856. he mar
ried Miss Malvina F. Shanklin, of
Evansville, Ind.
His judicial career began when, in
1883, he WAS appointed a county Judge
at Frankfort, KY. He was colonel OF
the Tenth Kentucky Regiment, OF the
Union army during the civil war. and
in 1871 and 1873 was the Republican
nominee for governor Of Kentucky. In
1872 his name was presented for the
Republican nomination for Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States. December
10, 1871, he took his seat as an associate
justice of the Supreme Court.

Practical effort instead of useless
dreams. was the slogan to be remenI-
bered, said the justice.

DIAZ BIDS FAREWELL TO
MEXICO.

Porfrio Diaz has said farewell to
Mexico.
When the young and imperious Kai-
ser William dismissed the Man of
Blood and Iron, Punch threw a world
of meaning into a graphic cartoon.
dropping the Pilot" is still remem-
bered as the embodiment of a. crisis in
modern political history. And yet the
German ship of empire did not founder !;
the skies did not fall. Eating his heart
out in the retirement of Frederichsruh,
the fallen Cyclops of united Germany
could do no more than veil his chagrin
in tea-table epigrams. THE first eighty
years of a mans life are sure to be the
happiest" he said to the deputation
which brought tribute to fallen great
ness.
Diaz-Mexico's Man of Blood and
Iron-has gone to his Frederichsruh.
The "irst eighty years of his life" were
completed many months ago. In large
part they we're stormy. If they includ-
ed no Sedan, they encompassed de-
fense of Puebla-and the same Third
Napoleon had almost as much reason
to mourn one field as the other. In this
latter conflict the young Diaz took the
measure of his own strength. In thir-
teen engagements he learned to wage
war and love peace. Then he set him
self to fuse a mob into a nation. His
Rural Guards, like the Bow street rum
ners, knew how to deal with lawless-
ness, because much of it they had seen
and a great part of it they were. 1t
was but part of the system that helped
Mexican securities to a place on the
Bourse and the Royal Exchange.
As he stole from his palace and van
ished in the rain on that gray morning
of May 26 he felt that his first eighty
years." and happiness, were gone. Be-
ing human, he must have meditated
upon the ingratitude Of republics as he
embarked at Vera Cruz. Once, in the
meridian of his lusty manhood, he had
tried to swim there to elude his enc
mics and those of the state. Today, be

WHY NOT BRIGHAM YOUNG?
A "HERETIC" INQUIRIES
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Possibly it was to have been expected
that there should arise a howl of op-
position to the tender by the people of
the State of Utah of silver service
for the battleship bearing the States
name, with the figure OF its foremost
citizen prominent in its adornment.
And yet, in this free country, where
sovereign States are federated. is it
not a trifie Incorporate and ill-consid-
cred to discover such extremes of semi
hysterical opposition as appears from
quarters otherwise typically conserva-
tive?
May not the patriotic people of the
State OF Utah, of right in their pride
to appear appreciative and grateful,
donate a silver service and adorn the
same as suits their inter-mountain sem
timents and historic tastes? And If one
citizen among its many is TO be selected
as typical of the dominant character
forming years of the State of Utah who
can claim precedence to Brigham
Young?
If 1t were the Lone Star State, Sam
Houston would do; If Kentucky, Daniel
Boone might find first favor; and so on,
of others. But for Utah surely Brigham
Young is the one citizen that typifies
most of what Mormonism, In American
life, has meant and has been, and Tor
which 1t yet stands.
This nee powerful prophet, seer, and
revelator, this first of first presidents
Of the Mormon people, is being called
some rather ugly names: such as mpr. pI
derer, traitor, polygamist, etc., and his
appearance upon the silver service is
opposed most vehemently, it seems, y
devoted believers in the Bible" AS
to his treason. when the war is over
Of arms, and often the trusts and ennol-
uments of office by, the very people he
opposed, and Is duly and truly patri-
otic. Why not Brigham Young? AS to
murders, this charge has been freely
laid at the door of all State leaders
who have succeeded.
But ne was a polygamist! Yes, and
SO were thousands of his fellow-believ-
ers So are they yet. including the
present successor in the high office Of
prophet, seer, and revelator. Joseph F.
Smith, who but the other day declared
in the public prints that he was ever,

FORTY-E|GHT HOUR
LAWS ADVANTAGES
IN MAIL DELIVERY
Postmaster Merritt Tells
How 1t Facilitates the
Work of Carriers.

What is known as the "forty-eight-
hour law for letter carriers has done
more to expedite the delivery OF mail
than almost any other recent postal
regulation, Postmaster NJ A. Merritt
said today in discussing complaints Of
delay In local delivery. Under its pro-
visions, carriers work forty-eight hours
IN six days, the hours being distributed
as required for the service. Under the
old regulations, carriers had to work ex-
actly eight hours a day. irrespective of
the amount Of work done or to be done.
The primary object of a postoffice
is to get mail away from the postoffice,
not to keep it," Mr.. Merritt said today.
Local mail is gotten out by the car
riers, and the forty-eight-hour law has
made 1t possible to get mail out to the
local patrons in a way the old system
did not.
Under the forty-eight-hour law, the
carrier uses what times he needs to conf
plete route. Ifit is less than eight hours.
the time saved is a credit II more,
the time is debit At the end OF the
week ne may have more than eight
hours for the Saturday deliveries, or
he may have less. II he has less, and
him; so as to make sure that the routes
will be completed. II he has more than
eight hours for his Saturday routes he
may gain a little rest"
This arrangement, Mr.. Merritt, said,
made IT almost impossible for letters
to be delayed in delivery, as they some
times were under the eight-hour-a-day
regulation, when men had to cease
working on the last minute of the eight
hours even II they had not completed
their runs. The forty-eight hours can
not expire except on Saturday, and
foresight when there is much mail to
be delivered, affords an opportunity TO
give auxiliary service.
