FLY SEASON COMING.

These days mark the dawn of

the fly question is concerned. a
swat IN time saves nine. Some
enthusiastic mathematician has
figured ont for us, that laboring
under perfect conditions. a Mrs.
Fly will lay 12O eggs, which ma
ture into flies in from twelve to
fifteen days. Swat her. These
in turn produce 1920 grand.
children ten to fifteen days later
Swat them. The next general.
ion, we are told, reaches the en-.
ormouS number of $4,000, to
be swatted. And 50 on, until hy
fall or late summer our mathp.
maticinn estimates that the
grand fatal numb-r of 1escen-
dants of this one origional Mrs.

the number 0f fiies in q house or

to the sanitary conditions or

will consider the fly as much a
disgrace in our houle as we now
consider the bedhug. In fact, it
is already. but we don't know it

To q very large extent our
freedom from flies for the SUM-

AZ Clarence Poe Secs It.

Inc oigg'st political surprise
OF last week was the result of the
North Dakota Republican Presi.
dental primary where Senator
LaFolette let Colonel Roosevelt
by a majority OF two to one, and
Talt's vote was amazing small.
1t is understood that the con.
servatiye Repnbllrans who would
ordinarily have supported Taft
voted tor Roosevelt in the hope
OF carrying the State for the col.
on-l against LaFolIette. The
LaFollette force has gained much
farce in the remarkable victory
ad the Roosevelt boom has lost
much. The writer was at the
publishers banquet in Phila del.
phia when Senator LaFolette
made his disastrous sperch. The
spe' ch, OF course, was a failure,
and showed that hespeaker was
on the verge of a breakdown. At
the same time. we do not believe
that one tenth az much wOuld
have been male of it but for an
organized effort on the part of
Roosevelt supporters to put La.
Toilette out OF the running. Hav
ing taken a rest, it in the Wiscon.
sin Senators hat that is now in
the ring and he will conduct\ an
aggressive campaign from now
on. Even more advance in his
views than Woodrow Wilson,
LaFollette is a man paSsionately
devoted to the putllc good, hut
personally cold. and evidently
too quick to mls:rust the mo-
tives of those who do not agree
with him. There il yet quite n
possibility that Roosevelt NAV
get the nomination, hut just now
his chances are getting no better
last.
In the Democratic Party, the
aggressive National wide fight
on Woodrow Wilson goes on
evidently with allo( WalIStreet's q
money back OF it, while VIM. R.
Hearst leads his influence to the
same end. Verify, politics does
make strange bei.fpllows. The
foremost charge against Wilson
is inconsistency in that the things
he says now, after some practi.
cal experience IN politics are not
wholly the same things he said
twenty years ago, From our
standpoint, that is very much to
his credit. Abraham Lincoln once
said: 81 have changed my mind:
| know more h ~ | did Yesterday.
The masses OF the people h ave
progressed as much in their ideas
as Woodrow Wilson has. What
the people want is a man whose
consistency is consistency ofyhnr
acter rather than views. Thereal
test, too, is not what Woodrow
Wilson has said, bur what he has
done, and az Governor of New
Jersey, he has certainly accomp-
lished greater things ard brou't
about a finer program OF con.
strTctive legislation for the pub
