oeratie party advocates an increased

that the party will continue faith
fully 70 observe the constitutional
requirements to provide and main
tain an ADEQUATE and well proporL
TONED navy SUFFICIENT to defend
american policies. protect our citi-
Zens and uphold the. honor and dig
Mtg Of the nation"
With the opening OF the Panama
canal near at hand, it is apparent
to all patriotic Americans that the
need for keeping the navy up to a
cfedltable standard is more press
Ing now than in many years; and it
is difHcult to perceive how such a
check as contemplated by the DEM
ocrats in Congress can be reconciled
with the situation. Certainly it is
not Adequately providing for the
common defense and unfolding the
honor and dignity of the nation.
But one conclusion regarding the
sincerity of the Democratic party in
respect to it's pledges can be drawn
from its action on the battleship
question. william Randolph Hearst
frankly states it, as follows:
1.-THE failure of the, Democrats in
Congress in defiance of their party
platform to provide a navy adequate
to the nations needs utterly dis
credits Democratic promises and
Democratic patriotism. No reliance
can henceforth be placed upon a
party which has no regard either
for its own honor or the nations
dignity and safety. Patriotic clti-
zens cannot be expected to vote for
Democratic candidates who repudl-
ate their solemn pledges and default
in personal and patriotic obliga-
itions. 80,
at is not wise to entrust the
powers of a government to a party
of narrow seetionalism and small
Americanism which has no concep-
ton as to the nations dangers or
the nations duty or of the nations
destiny.
st IS actually not safe to repose
the fate of the greatest nation in
the world to the care of a party
which proposes to contract our ma
tional possessions and which refuses
either to protect our interests abroad
or safeguard citizens at home.
1.-THE Dehocracy's reputation OF
its platform pledges is merely squal-
IL dishonesty. but its default in its
patriotic duty to the nation is moth
ling less than treason"

that there are a number of agencies
of destruction which must be inves-
tigated before the problem of pro-
tecting the chestnut can be solved.
In some sections of the South
where more than fifty years ago the
chestnut trees were abundant, very
few are present today. Observations
by DR.. A, D. Hopkins, in charge of
forest insect Investigations. during
the last twenty years in the Appal-
achians show widespread death of
both chestnut and chinquapin during
the period.
In order that investigations may
be extended in all sections where the
chestnut grows. owners of timber
Should report to the Bureau of En-
tomology as to the healthy or I'M
healthy condition of their timber.
Information is especially desired
from localities representing the most
northern, western, southern and
southeastern parts of its distribution,
namely in the North from Maine,
New Hampshire, and New York. in
the West from Michigan, Ohio, In
diana, Kentucky, and Tennessee; in
the South. from Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia, and in the Southeast,
from South Carolina, North Carolina,
