SOCIALISTS IN DISGUISE.

The gains made by the socialist
the recent election. when taken in con-
junction with the small progress of the
insurgent republicans. as reported by
those who accompanied the president
on his long tour and from other Sourc-
rs. suggest more than a possibility that
much of the energy being expended By
certain insurgents is operating not to
augment their own number within the
ranks Of the republican party. but to
drive men from that party into the
socialist camp. Nor. on examination.
does it seem at all surprising that this
should be the case.
insurgency in the republican party
had its beginning i'm the house of rep
resentatives. where the policy of one
man control had been carried to an ex-
trome which naturally. and properly.
produced revolt Working for real
progress, the insurgents in the house
achieved the overthrow of what had
come to be known as "CannOnism," al
though the name was misleading be-
cause the system far antedated the Can
non speakership. With proper revisionoe
the house-rules the insurgency of Il
considerable number who had engaged
in it ceased. with some. however in
surrection had become a habit. AMI
in the case of others it had grown int
a temptation to exploit themselves and
further their own ambitions. This was
notably true of those members of the
senate who have since assumed the
leadership of the insurgcnt wing of the
party.
Many Of the insurgent senator's were
unwilling to confine their efforts to
promoting progressive policies within
the republican party. They sought
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT first. and in
their calculations reform was compell-
eli to take a secondary place. To
achieve their purpose they were COM
PEELED to go far beyond the role of mere
reformers. To concentrate attention
on themselves they must excite their
hearers, and the easiest method of eX-
citing their hearers they found in
preaching the gospel of discomfort.
Their speeches rang with denunciation

eG policies. They hesitated to impugn
the motives of no man, even the pres
ident of the United States. According
TO them. everything was rotten to the
core. and they. of course, We're the only
men in public life who could correct
those evils which robbed the poor and
made a travesty Of justice and a mock
lery of government. Their attacks on
the existing order have obviously fail
eI of their purpose-namely, the con-
version of Il large number of persons
tn the belief that in certain prominent
insurgents rests the salvation of the
nation. But may they not have
achieved another purpose far from
contemplated?
Is it not probable that this gospel of
discomfort has made converts not to
insurgent republicanism. hut to social
ism? How ineffective it has been To

days will certainly have to w0tk system atioallv and thonghtfully.
 II is far from certain that the quadren- nial provision of the constitution of 1901 will prove satisfactory as the state be- comes more populoue with increasing cities. Today half fof the cities of the state desire a rad Gal change in their form of government and when such a move ment arises it is long time between regular sessions of the legislature. At any rate the best American practice is contrary to the quadrennial system. A decade has passed since the quadrennial plan was adopted, and no other state has adopted it, and probably no other will adopt it.
 It calls for wise and thoughtful action on the part of the legislature when it does meet, and for especially good work to the end of it's brief general session. It is no holiday affair to hold a seat in the only quadrennial legislature in this country and the members of it will per haps feel like taking a holiday when their 50 days of work are ended.

ps~ Dr, Kinds on the Boil WeeYil

State Entomologist Hinds of Auburn exposes great many fallacies concern ing the boil weevil He shows first that after the Information of the insect-after 1t is snugly sheltered for the winter no cold weather that this latitude can furnish will as a rule kill it. If but 6 or per cent of the hibernated insects survive the winter season the problem of fighting them in the warm season remains unchanged.
 Dr. Hinds shows. too, that the boil Weevil can not be controlled by the use of powdered arsenate of lead or any other insecticide. Nor is late planting a possible remedy. There is in short no remedy except early planting of early maturing seeds, and the best of culti- vation afterwards. The crop is to be hurried to maturity-that's all the reme- dy against the insects that is available
 But no, that is not all. The planting of corn and the making of meats needed in the state is the other remedy and il is the better one, too. The farmer who plants more corn and grows a lesseneo acreage of cotton highly fertilized and cultivated, is the farmer who will fact the boil weevil successfully The bol weevil calls in other words for inten sive, better farming, and it may compe the farmer to do what he should have done long ago.

Senators by Popular Vote

The Lorimer scandal is increasing the demand for the election of United States senators by popular vote, and there are some indications that the Senate may forestall this sentiment by putting an amendment before the states A sub committee of the Senate judiciary com mttee has reported in favor of an amendment to the constitution permitting the popular election of senators. and the full committee by vote of 10 to has decided to report to the Senate an amend ment to that effect and the present ses- sion promises to send the resolution to the states for ratification.
 This particular reform finds supporters in both parties, and in the democratic party it has been demanded by three successive national conventions AS a rule the republicans evade the issue when they are not ready to support 1t. Two-thirds cf the legislatures have expressed a de- sire for it, and President Taft said in his letter of acceptance that he was in- clined to favor it.
 The fact is, no one can see how the Senate and monopolistic interests can be parted unless this particular reform be established. It has long been made plain that the average legislature is controlled by the politicians who in turn are con- trolled by those who supply them with campaign funds. In other words, mag hates and trusts and special interests elect senators, and the only way to avoid this seems to consist in referring sena- torlal elections directly to the people. The Senate itself sees that it Is com | ing and it may be about to fore PCO- pie a chance to elect directly their own
 senators. This would be a smart thing to
 do, and it would go far towards over
 coming the popular feeling that has in
 later years existed in the breasts of the people against that body. The passage of
 the resolution by the Senate would be
 speedily followed by its acceptance in the
 House, and the entire matter would be
 in the hands of the states for ratification
 or non-ratifcation. It would be ratified. | The plan adopted by the Senate | judiciary committee is the one presented by Henry St. George Tucker of Virginia

Alabama tue Only 0uadrennial State

Other states elect their legislatures quadrennialy, but they meet in regular session biennially. Mississippi does this and about dozen other states. But Ala bama stands alone as the state that elects . legislature once in four years that meets but once in that period in a reg ular session. The last legislature of this otate met several times, but all of it's by the governor to act on designated measures.
 Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and South Caro- lima cling to annual legislative sessions The other states except Alabama have adopted the plan of biennial sessions, and the constitution of 1901 places Alabama on the untried ground of quadrennial regular sessions.
