THE HUMMING BIRD.
Known as a Flower to Which God Has
Granted Winqs.

Our continent has a monopoly of
humming birds, the gems Of the feath-
cred creation. OF these there are said
to be as many as 400 species, most of
which confine themselves to the ropi-
cal regions.
Only eighteen varieties live farther
north than Mexico. 1t is generally
thought that humming birds live upon
honey. This, however, is a mistake.
They do devour some honey, it is true.
but most of their food consists of the
small insects which inhabit certain
flowers.
The little bird is therefore useful as
we'll as beautiful and has been called
a flower to which God has granted
wings.
Humming birds are so small that
when they are captured for commercial
purposes it is impossible to use even
the smallest shot for fear of injuring
their skins. They are therefore stunned
with a drop of water from a blowgun
or syringe and fall into a net, when
they are quickly poisoned.
Humming birds vary in size from
those half as large as a sparrow to
those about the size of bee. Their
flight is so swift that they can be well
seen only when poised on a flower

the Chicago ticket is not right, that

this fact led naturally to the conclu.
sion that the older voters in the fam.
lily were influencing the younger mem
bers.
The colored voters here in Rich
mond seem to be about equally divid-
ed. If asked a direct question regard
ing their political intentions, they will
mince their words in which they at
tempt to reply, or come out emphati-
cally for Taft or Teddy. The fact that
they hesitate in replying is a very
strong indication that they are waiting
"to see if you are going to see them
on election day" About one-half the
negroes hesitate. 1t is safe surmise
that the hesitating negro will divide
about half and half. Those of the
black race who are ready with their
answer are about equally divided now.
There is not a sufficient element here
to frame up as a factor in the cam.
paign.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Officials
in the employ of the department OF
agriculture are criticized for off
! cial iupropriety" discrimination and
! irregularities in financial transac-
tions in the majority report of the
Moss Investigating committee, which
was presented to the house today. The
report declares that in irrigation and
drainage projects the committee has
observed the great degree to which
| this important work was permitted to
be subordinated at several stages of
its development to the advancement
of other work in which individual
members of congress were particular

Regarding the famous Everglades in

ter it was made out, ostensibly by the
department, the report says the circu-

In my quest for former Republicans
who while firmly opposed to Taft
could not decide to vote for Mr.. Roose-
welt, | failed. In the last few days /
have talked with two score of men who
take a deep interest in politics, and
find there is a more active i1diviG ual
thought among the average voter to-
day than is usually the case.
Voters, who openly espouse the Re
publican ticket are scarce here in
Richmond; and those who support an
other ticket are not slow in stating
the fact A vast number of voters,
however, are in that class known as
the silent vote" While they will not
talk they have, or are making up their
minds as to what they will do without
any assistance or influence from the
outside. One reason for this is the
fact that every thinking man has had
the last three or four years to give
more or less thought to party and to
the trend of the party managers, and
have done so.
Here in the factory districts OF
Richmond, at the noon hour, you
can see and listen to scores of
working men as they group together
and discuss in their own way, the po-
litical conditions of the day. l say po-
ltical conditions because it seems
that the issue between the Progress
sive and Republican party has already
been decided in the individual mind.
Getting down into the core of things
political there are very few defenders
of Mr.. Taft, and usually, when his
name is mentioned it is more frequent
ly than otherwise, to condemn him
and his administration.
The consensus of of opinion among
the working class seems to be anti
Taft, and, opinion appears to be di-
vided between the Progressive, Demo
cratic and Socialist parties. One can
hear advocates of the platforms of
these three parties talking for their
particular party in almost every group
of men; and one cannot help but note
the absence of Taft support.
An cid getleman, a foreman in one
of the farming machinery plants, in
conversation with me, said: 1--WE been
in this position for nearly thirty years,
and being a staunch Republican l
have listened with much interest to
the men as they expressed their opin-
ions and argued about the candidates
and their respective platforms. But

The man in the club had been talk

until that gentleman declined to dis
cuss the subject any more.
"We'll talk about the youngsters
themselves for a change" he said
"Do you know that both in France and
Belgium reading. writing and arith-
metic are being omitted from the
subjects taught in infant schools? The
children are simply taught to be happy
instead And when they bring their
dinners to school the food has, under
the official regulations, to be put into
a basket, which must be labeled at
the school and set on a special shelf
in clean. airy place. Fancy such
regulations in England! Any old news
paper and any cupboard Is good
enough for our children.
"In Germany toys are provided for
play time. and all little children are
compelled to bring clean pocket hand
kerchiefs to school. and they must
have a bath once week.

pies which inspired the great con-
struction legislation enacted that made
the party so rich in tradition. But
this constructive legislation and prog
ress were achieved under the leader
ship of such men as Lincoln, McKin-
ley, Roosevelt and Beveridge, over the
opposition of the Bourbon Aldriches,
Cranes, Barnes and Loriemers.
ut can not be successfully denied
that the Republican party, in both the
nation and state, has been captured
by those forces opposed to the rule of
and by the people. Forces whose only
interests lie with those who would
despoil the people. The brazen theft
of the nomination at the Chicago con-
vention in June, made possible through
such plain thievery as we saw in the
Marion county primaries, marks the
receivers of the stolen goods for
slaughter and annihilaton in Novem-
Der. The Republican party, as such,
has been destroyed for and by the
crimes of it's bosses-thirty-nine of
whom sat as national committeeman
and, by servily following the bidding
of their masters, thwarted the will of
great and clear majority of Repub-
lican voters.
THE party known today as Re
publican is controlled by these inter-
est-owned bosses. But the issues and
principles that made that party a pow
er, enabling it to write in history a
record never equalled by another po-
litical organization, will live and prog
ress in the new Progressive party
The same necessity that gave US the
Republican party fifty-odd years ago,
exists today, The same spirit that in
spired the leaders then, inspires the
Progressive leaders now. It is the
same fight of the plain people for their
homes"
