CHESTNUT BARK DISEASE.

Locating and Fighting Infection Con.
tiers Only Known Means Of Control.
The chestnut bark disease was first
recognized as a serious disease In the
Vicinity of New York city in 1904, and
the first publication regarding it ap-
peared in 1906. There is reliable evil
dence, however. that it was present on
Long Island at least as early as 1893.
Its origin Is unknown, but there Is
some evidence that it was imported
from the orient with the Japanese
chestnut. This view IL not, however,
held by all Investigators. But, what
ever may have been its time or place
Of origin, 1t is certain that It has now
spread into at least ten states.
The bark disease appears ultimately
to exterminate the chestnut trees in
any locality which it infests. Three
years ago the financial loss from this
disease "in and about New York city,
was estimated at between $4,000, 900
and $1O.OOO.OOO." The agricultural de-
partment writer's regard sos, o 900 as
a conservative estimate Of the financial
loss from this disease up to 1911. In
many localities the greatest damage
has been among chestnuts grown for

ornamental purposes, which have a
value greatly in excess of their value
as lumber.
No method Of immunizing individual
trees against the bark disease is yet
known, and no method of treating or
curing them when once attacked is
certain in its results. While this Is
unfortunate from the. standpoint of
the owner Of orchard trees and large
ornamental! trees Of great individual
value. no method Of dealing with sin
gle trees-surgery, medication, spray
ing. etc.-however successful in itself,
would meet the demands of the pres
ent situation. 1t is not practicable at
present to apply any individual meth
cd of treatment to forest trees; The in
dividual tree Is not worth it and will
not be for many years.
Fortunately. however, there Is a
method Of dealing with the situation
which is applicable to the country as a
whole and which, so far as tested, is
practicable. The disease advances
but slowly in a solid line. but instead

ton, often many miles in advance of
the main line of disease. 1t therefore
seemed probable that If these advance
infections could be located at a rea-
sOnably early stage they could be
eliminated at relatively little expense.
thus preventing further spread from
these points at least. 1t is believed
that this method of attack will prove
practicable and If carried out on a
large scale will result ultimately in
the control of the bark disease which
has done so much damage.
Save the Pasture.
Probably the most destructive prac-
lice is that Of turning the stock onto
the pasture field too early in the
spring. At this season the ground is
soft, and when thus tramped produces
but little pasture that season. The
biting of of the young grass before the
roots are we'll started tends to dis.

How the Campaign Progresses

THIEF CRY NOW
RAISED BY H|LLES
Chairman Charges Bold At
tempt to Steal Machinery
Of Republican Party.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-Charles
D. Hilles, chairman of the Republic
can National Committee, has replied
to the stolen nomination cry of the
Progressives by issuing a statement
regarding the political situation in
the State of California.
Mr.. Hilles charges Governor john
son. of California. and his political
adherents with attempting to sail
under false colors by placing candi-
dates for electors in the field as Re-
publicans, whereas their intention is
to vote for the candidates of the
Progressive party.
This action he styles distinctly
dishonorable' and says that, under
the election laws, the Johnson fac
ton will be guilty of perjury if, after
taking oath to their intention of sup
porting the Republican party, they
vote for the Progressives.
He calls on the California Republi-
cans to resist what he says is the
bold attempt to steal the machinery
of their party"
Mr.. Hilles's statement followed a
conference with Senator Works, of
California, with whom he discussed
political conditions in the Pacific
State.

A BRILLIANT IDEA

In a certain town of Nebraska lives
a mar who has been os unfortunate as
to lose three wives. who were buried
side by side. For a long time the ecor
nomical Neoraskan deliberated as to
whether he. should erect a separate
headstone for each, concentrating
her virtues, but the expense deferred
Rim. Finally, a happy solution, of the
difficulty presented itself.
HE had the Christian name OF each
engraved on a small stone-"Mary;s'
elizabeth" "Matilda"-a hand cut
on each stone pointing to az large
stone in the centre of the lot, and
under each hand the words:
For epitaph see large ne."-Lip-

He Is Delighted that Judson

SEA GRIT. Aug. Ex-Governor Will
son is passing today resting and dis
posing of correspondence that has ac-
cumulated within the last few days
He is in splendid spirits, due, he
says. to the satisfaction he feels in
beginning the active work of cam
paigning and because his managers
have finished arranging many cam
paign details.
The Governor has announced the
geographical division of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. One
half will work from the present New
York headquarters, under the direc-
ton of Chairman McCombs, Vice
Chairman Meade and others. while
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, chair
man of the committee on organiza-
ton, will head the Chicago office.
C%oincident with Governor Wilson's
refusal to enter the State of Maine
before the State elections there came
the announcement that Speaker
Champ Clark would speak there on
behalf of the Democratic ticket.
Word was also brought the Governor
that Governor Harmon, of Ohio, in
tended stamping in the Middle West,
and the announcement brought much
pleasure to the Wilson headquarters.
Governor Wilson will speak in Maine
before the presidential. elections.
The Governor is receiving further
opportunities from his friends to
start a tour of the far West as soon
as the schedule that has been ar
ranged for him will permit. him to do
so. He is not quite ready to make
up his mind about taking this trip,
however.

SOME INSIDE REPUBLICAN POLITICS..

q ONE highly important inside information about Republi.
~ can politics in Pennsylvania is being developed, and it
throws a calcium light upon some events and transactions
In the recent past. If the Archbod letter to Senator Penrose
of Pennsylvania, with its $4,000 check, is not any further in.
quired into it will have performed a great public service. In
answer to the defensive but irrelevant statement by Penrose
touching on alleged offers by William Finn, of Pittsburgh. to nav
q million dollars for the United States senatorship, Finn tells a
story of the selection of Philander c. Knox for the senatorship
al a conference in the Pennsylvania railroad Office in PhiladeI
phla by President Cassatt, Henry C. Frick and Don Cameron.
Mr.. Finn explains that under the old system in PENNSYLVANIA
no United States senator had been chosen without the O. K.
of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Standard Oil Companvv
What next may We expect in the extraordinary election cam
paign this year in which so much that has been hidden from the
public gaze is coming out?

Colonel Roosevelt today, in referring
to his reply of last might to Senator

He Is, to make his principal address

In replying to P~enrose's statements
the ex-President said:S

because they are false and because
that they know that the forces behind
me and which I al this time repre-
Lsent are the only forces which the
crooked politicians and crooked finan-
ciers of the country have really to
fear.
The only part of Mr.. Penrose's
statement that needs comment by me
is that portion in which it is asserted
that l had been advised of a heavy
campaign contribution from Mr.. Arch
bold in behalf of the Standard Oil
Company to the Republican national
campaign committee, and that I di-
.rectly or indirectly requested a con-
tribution from Mr.. Archbold and his
associates interested in the Standard
Oil Company. This statement is
false" &
Penrose in his statement declared
that Roosevelt had virtually demand
ed $685. 900 in. all from the Standard
Oil Company. and that both Roose-
welt and Cortelyou approved of a gift
of $125,000. He said also that Roose-

ONE OF THE IMPLICATED CONGRESSMAN.

ca he death of former Congressman Stone, of Pennsylvania,

a fact that had not been suspected by his friends. Stone
was among the congressman implicated in the Archbold Stand
ard Oil letters published by the Hearst Magazine, one letter
showing that he had received $4,000. What seems singular is
that although the first publication of these letters was made
five years ago and implicated different members of the national
legislature no notice was taken of them by Congress and no
investigation was made.

SCHOOL ROOFS FOR RECREATION.

ID VERY public schoolroom should be a recreation place.
uL We have built schoolhouses for many years with a
stupidity that now seems marvellous. Until recently no
grounds were provided, the houses we're kept iealousIy closed
when not in use for the school and the roof had no use except
as a cover against the elements, For many years there was no
school gymnasium and the schooroom was as unattractive as
IVES the architecture of the building. We have gradually worked
INTO new ideas. Schoolhouses are coming to be regarded as
civic centres and given over to neighborhood entertainments
school Fairgrounds are multiplying, there are gymnasiums and
assembly halls, and school officers are becoming conscious that
school roofs have a utility besides keeping out the rain. The
Morton Street Public School roof, which has been the scene of
peasant, sound entertainments this summer, offers a good OBJ
jectlesson.
