ply and spread over the country.
This little chap who appears so
lonely in the open field or in the rear
of the stable, is one Of the greatest
bug fighters in the world. He is prowl-
ing around the grass after game and
he gets it in vast numbers from the
enterprising ant to the lazy slug that
crawls slowly from beneath damp
stone.
1t is estimated that over 100000, 900
worth of crops are destroyed annually
by insect pests. This great sum
would be doubled if it were not for the
toad and his allies, who keep up a
constant warfare against the encroach-
ing bug and worm, that are cheating
the farmer out of his just profits as
surely as the middleman is doing in
the cities.
1t is estimated that the average toad
is worth at least five dollars a year to
the farmers, as the creature during that
period has destroyed insects and thus
saved crops that are worth that

to devour 100 rose beetles at single
meal In the stomach of one toad, Is
myriapods were found; in another, SIS
army worms and another IS gypsy
moth caterpillars. At another post
norton it was shown that the batra-
chan had just lunched upon 81 ants,
10 sowbugs, 8 spiders, 1 caterpillar
and 10 plant lice. At another time one
toad was seen to eat 35 large and full
grown celery worms in three hours,
while another accepted Sc flies, fed to
him in less than 10 minutes.

TOAD is FRIEND OF FARMER
Science Making Efforts to Show TiIler

Should Be Encouraged.

The toad is one of the greatest
friends of the American farmer.
Science has proven this to be true and
is making great efforts to show the
tiller of the soil how important 1t is
that the humble batrachian be encour.

Over at Last!

New York Tribune: What bless.
ing that it Is over! The country has
had nothing but politics for more than
half a year, violent clamor to which
it was impossible to turn a deaf ear.
1t feels good deal as Arizona felt a
few weeks ago when some one pro.
posed to recall its governor. Arizona
had had an election, full Of contro'
versy, in which it had adopted it's con.
stitution; another a little later In
which it had chosen it's first state of.
ficers, another right after that in
which it had amended it's constitution
by inserting the excluded recall pro.
vision, not to mention a few such ex.
tras as primaries, and was in the midst
of the expressing national campaign,
when one OF those persons who never
know when they have had enough pro.
posed that the governor be recalled.
Word went forth that there was to
be recall Petitions were drawn up
and circulated. Just four persons
signed the petitions, when, of sud.
den, it all stopped. What happened to
the circulator of the petitions and the
four signers has not been disclosed
The worst is feared, for Arizona is
given to direct action, and Arizona
knew when it had had enough.
There are some things to be thank
full for. The recall does not exist here
neither Of officials nor of decisions
nor does the initiative. If they did
and if some Unsuitable person should
attempt to set one of them in motion
now, would he be able to flee quickly
enough?

REFORMING THE COURT.

Tho New York Evening Post Ia IN
ctined to be puzzled by the announce
ment that the supreme court OF the
United States has devised rules s1or
making the administration Of justice
IN the federal courts more speedy ano
less costly. The way In which this
reform has been brought about makes
the Post very suspicious OF IT. II IL
not the way the people have been
told from the stump the reforms in the
judiciary should be brought about
FOR instance the Post finds that judges
have been giving great deal OF pa
tient labor to the problem. They have
conferred with each other and with
legal experts; have had large mass
az legal evidence before them, which
thew have painstakingly sifted, and
have carefully studied the various pro-
posals for improvement laid before
them. They have taken their time
about 1t, too, and have been cautious
The Post with touch of fine irony
then adds: But the country KNOWS
very we'll that judicial reform cannot
be brought about in any such pussy
footed way. The thing to do, as we
have been told over and over again
is to let loose hurricane upon the
courts, to get the crowd to teach the
Judges how to decide, and to make an
end at once of the laws delays by TAX,
ing a popular vote in every case which
It il desired to hurry to conclusion
with all these new principles firmly
fixed in the citizens mind, he will
know what to think Of the pretense
that by study and patience and trained
intelligence a reform in judicial pro-
cedure has been accomplished" .
Perhaps, though, the people will be
willing to allow trained minds to work
out the reform in the courts, since
there is likely to be little more heard
OF the recall OF judges and the recall
Of judicial decisions since they tailed
az campaign issues.

Press Comment.
An Excellent Move.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: In Cedar
Rapids, the city council. acting as a
board of health and backed up by the
Federation of Labor, is trying to
clean up restaurants and boarding
houses that are not as sanitary as
should be- 1t Is an excellent move.
But why should the city council need
the backing especially of the Fedora
ton of Labor, or why should that
organization be in any special way
mixed up in the work? OF course,
the good people Of the town, with
out regard to creed, etc., will back
the city council in work Of this kind.
And If that were not the case, and
there were no backing anywhere,
then the right thing for the council
would have been to jump in any
how. And the backing would have
been forthcoming soon. When an or
ganization or commission is right
and knows it, then that body ought
to go ahead vigorously and make
no move that looks like trying to
apologize for work that 1t ought to
be proud Of, or to hide behind others,
when they ought to be taking all the
responsibility and ought to be proud
of their stand.

THE AFTERMATH.

The following is from Golfers
Weekly, written before the result Oh
Tuesdays election was known:
whoever Is president of the Un1ted
States next 4th of March, there IS
hardly an American but will be PROUD
of the sort Of man who has come to
the top of this republic at the begin
ming of it's one hundred and twenty
sixth year. Although some millions
of his fellow countrymen Will nave
voted disapproval of President Ta1t,
probably not one hundred of them all
would translate disapproval as dislike
or any other uncharitabls sentiment:
Indeed, If all the persons who feel
rather sorry for Taft had voted Tor
him, he would have won. There aren
a dozen men in the country who think
Taft is a wicked man. And he mas
had opportunities to be wicked-how
he could have turned the war IN Mex1.
co to his own purposes! Most OF
Taft's failings are misfortunes and
resolve themselves into two groups !:
he took himself seriously as the head
of his party just at the moment when
the party. after half century OF
triumphant leadership, completely lost
touch with popular sentiment. And 1t
wasn't the party that changed; 1t was
the country. For the other, Taft had
static temperament in a highly dynam.
ic age When all the world clamored
for change, he was strong for prece:
dent and the old ways. He was out OF
tune with the times. A good many
persons who have suffered that handi-
cap have had their innings in history
later on. In many another epoch, past
and future, in a different public mood,
these qualities of Taft's could be hailed
AZ virtues. And as these things go
like the swing Of a pendulum, who
knows but If Taft we're given another
term he might arrive upon 1916 In
steady glory, the man of the hour?

Cause and Effect.

The great man had returned from

joyfully greeted by the members Of

Fine said the great man, with
a modest blush of pleasure to find
himself not without honor in his own
country. Everybody was just as
nice and cordial as could be-"
'Wined and dined everywhere,

"Wined and dined echoed the
great man. "Wined and dined. !

but there were no great battles, and
the greater part OF the year was spent
In waiting or in desultory skirmishes.
The present war had been threaten,
ing for many years, and it's final ap.
proach was gradual, but when it began
the fighting was sudden ad terrific
1t would be hard to name war, except
the Franco-Prussian in which so much
has happened in the way Of land fight
ing in month---naval wars, of course
are different and might be finished in
a dreadful hour or two. 1t is not to
be expected that the war can be kept
UP to the pace thus far maintained.
Thus far the allies have been making
tremendous squirt, which. unless
peace Is now negotiated on the
strength of their first victory, must
soon flag. Even If they are not beat.
EN- back, but continue to advance,
their progress must be slower as they
get farther from their base Of supplies,
and the commissariat will present in.
creasingly difficult problems. Both
armies, too, must presently reach a
state of exhaustion which will make
necessary rest and replenishment
of the thinned lines. AS for weather,
there is still about month before
winter will present new difficulties.
November is usually fine, though
windy and raw, but with December
snow flies, and cold, stormy weather
sets In, which would be serious oh.
stacle to campaigning.

T,ft Doserved Better.

Clinton Herald: President Taft de-
served more than he received at the
hands of the voters of the United
States in the election OF Tuesday.
If there ever has been a president
of the United States whose every Of
fetal act was dictated by faithful
ness to the platform of his party
and to the best interests of the peo
ple OF the whole" nation, that presi
dent was William Howard Taft.
No man occupying the presiden
tial chair has ever been 50 misun
derstood as has President Taft
Political muskrakers, the greatest
menace that today faces the people
of this nation, have been able to
poison the minds of the people to
such degree that many had come
to regard Taft as a weakling and
as incompetent and unsafe. Nothing
ever was farther from the truth.
President Taft deserved a re-elec.
ton to the Office of president. II
has been denied him. But the time
will come when he will have his
vindication and the time probably
will not be very long in coming
When that time comes President
Taft will occupy place in the
hearts of the people Of the nation
that will bring acknowledgment
that he was one Of the very best
presidents the country ever has had
President Taft deserved more
than he received.
