was when the great war was fresher
than now in the minds of the people
and when the bulk of the men and
women know something personally of
the glory and the horror of the strug-
gle. Now the great majority of the
brave men who took part lii the war
and also their immediate friends and
relatives are gathered on another
shore. AS they have passed away
people have without thinking of it
come to neglect the day that is set
apart each year for the honoring Of
the soldier dead. 1t is too bad and
yet it is natural for the world is busy
and selfish and prone to think mostly
of the things that are pressing and
near at hand.
To the grizzled. stout hearted veter-
ans who can still march on Decora-
ton day and turn out each year to
show reverence for the memory of
their departed comrades the civil war
is still the great thing in their minds.
They remember vividly the days
when they marched and fought and
when the whole world took note Of the
victories they won. 1t is natural they
are amazed that so many have forgot
ten or else never really knew of the
work they did.
But if the world forgets the warri-
ors it will not forget the war because
strong, united country came forth
from the fires of the strife and as
long as it stands as such will be In
itself a monument to the Grand Army
of the Republic.

Having been asked on several occa-
sions as to a means or controlling the
aphis which are attacking many trees
and shrubs about the city, am ask
ing for a little space in your paper so
may reach those who are interest
ed.
We find that there are two kinds
of insects attacking vegetation. To
as biting insects. which bite off bits
as biting insects, which bic off bits
of plant tissue and cnew it; to the sec
ond belong those that possess a small
beak which they thrust into the leaf
and step to suck up say from the
plant.
The first class is controlled by
spraying the plant with a food poison
as arsenate of lead, which is eaten
by the insect as it begins chewing the
plant tissue. The sucking insects are
controlled by spraying with con-
tact poison, that is. a poison which
will kill by coming in external con-
tact with the insects body-this is
necessary for it is obvious that these
cannot be killed with food poison
when their mouth parts are embedded
in the tissues of the plant.
The aphis belongs to the sucking
class of insects. which will explain
why some people are unsuccessful in
combating them with arsenate of
lead for this does not necessarily kill
them. Kerosene emulsion and Black
Leaf Sheep Dip have been found to
be the most satisfactory aphicldes at
the present time. Kerosene emulsion

THEY ARE GOING AWAY.

In a communication to this paper
yesterday Mr.. Newton Whitford made
a very common inquiry. He wants to
know if people are forgetting Me-
mortal Day and regrets that this year
only two hours were given over for
the ceremonies. He remembers that
in the east a full holiday used to be
observed and work of all sorts cease
during the day.
For the benefit of Mr.. Whitford 1T
may be said that Oregon towns too
formerly observed Memorial Day
more than they do at present. There
was a time when in most all Oregon
towns, large or small, Decoration day
was an event of great significance
That was when the ranks of the G
A. r. were not so thin and gray. II

about among the Indians. From a
physical standpoint Willetsie was a
splendid specimen of manhood and
his character was also good until he
took the downward path. But when
he became addicted to drink his great
physique and his Carlisle education
were powerless to save him.
All who have at heart the welfare
OF the redman should warn him Of
the danger that turks in "firewater."
It is his worst enemy. Pendleton
should do more than it does to pro-
tect the Indians from this danger.
So should the government which pos
es as the guardian of the Indians. So
should the better class of Indians who
know what is good for the tribe. The
Indians who compose the local branch
of the Brotherhood of North Ameri-
can Indians can take revenge for
Willetsies death If they want to do
so. They can fittingly avenge his
death by taking steps to break up the
sale of liquor to the Indians and the
use of liquor by the Indians. If the
Indian organization will take up a
campaign of this sort it will have the
cooperation of all right thinking
white men.

is made as follows: Shave one-half
pound of Ivory or whale-oil soap in
to gallon of water (preferably soft)
and boil until all the soap is dis
soved. Then while the suds are still
boiling, remove them from the stove
and add two gallons of kerosene (if
previously warmed by the sun the
mixture will be easier affected and
more stable) and stir the mixture vi
olently for about five minutes until
1t becomes creamy mass. Small am
cunts can be agitated very effectively
with an egg beater while larger am
cunts can be mixed by forcing 1t
through a sprayer back into the same
vessel until of the night color. This
stock mixture may be used at once
or may be kept for any length of
time, but when ready to use it should
first be diluted at the rate of one
part of emulsion to IL of water for
plants in foliage, while only eight
parts of water are necessary for DOR
mant plants.
Black Leaf Sheep Dip may be Sc
secured at any drug store and needs
only to be diluted as directions will
indicate, before using. This spray
has the advantage of being easier to
prepare and quicker to apply and
unless the emulsion is we'll made is
more effective. The dip can be pro-
cured at a nominal price and gener-
Gus use of it should be made whenever
aphis or other sucking insects are
found to be attacking plants.
Respectfully.

INoUIRING INTO LABOR UNREST

The British government, like ours
feels that the Industrial or labor stu
alton is most unsatisfactory, and that
an inquiry into the unrest" which
begets general strikes, syndicalism,
violence and talk of revolutionary
changes is highly desirable, says an
editorial in the Chicago Record-Her-
aid. In this country bill for an in
dustrial commission is expected to
pass congress at the present session.
In England, it appears, the cabinet
has acted of its own motion. Some
ten davs ago announcement was made
nv Ilovd-George, the radical chan
cellor of the exchequer, of the ap-
pointment of a committee of the cab
met TO consider the industrial and
social unrest, including the specific
question of co-partnership or profit
sharing as a preventive of strikes and
i'll will between employers and en-
ployed.
Co-partnership was advocated in n
spirited debate in the house of COM
mons by tory leader as well as by
radicals. 1t has proved a success in
British gas works and other indus
tries. Lloyd-George himself doubts
/
whether profit sharing is solution
OF the labor problem. but he is will
ling to study it and all possible modi-
fications of it. OF course, the social
lists have their own panacea, which
they duly paraded during the debate
Many of the ablest men in parlia-
ment admit that they are perplexed
and apprehensive.
The cabinet inquiry should be use
full and productive, as should the
more comprehensive one planned In
the United States. No greater prob
lem than that OF industrial unrest has
ever been presented to civilization
Democracy, invention. the press, edu-
cation and many other modern fac
tors have combined to create this
problem, and it must be studied and
: solved il society is to enjoy peace,
stability and prosperity.

REALIZATION.

When winter brought its weary round
OF fires and drifting snow
He yearned for summers dreamy days
And hammocks swinging low.
But now the lovo,y here
With birds and blossoms gay.
So he proceeds to cut the grass. oil
the automobile. freeze ice-cream,
paint screens. pull weeds, sprinkle the
yard. plant vines. and in sundry and
divers idle pleasures of similar in
ocuous character contrives
to dream the hours away!

Why SalveS Can't Cure Eczema

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate
to the inner skin below the epidermis
where the eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating

CONFIRMING REFORMS.

The chief merit of Mr. Suffers pend
ing bill concerning the diplomatic and
consular services is not that it init
ates any epochal reforms but that it
confirms some which have already been
made 1t is well known that President
Taft has extended and applied the merit
system-of which he is one Of the most
efficient friends this country has ever
known-tO those services. He has elm
mated mere partisan considerations in
the choice Of men, and has provided for
their selection on the sole basis Of merit
as determined by adequate examination.
He has also provided for an organized
system of promotion for merit, and for
permanent tenure Of place on good be-
haviOr.
All these reforms, however, rest mere
" upon executive order. The President
has ample power to make such orders
and TO maintain them during his admin
istration. But he cannot insure their
perpetuity. They do not automatically
expire with his administration, but they
cessor The purpose of Mr.. Suffers ex-
cellent measure is to put upon the eX-
ecutive order the cOn6rmatOry indorse-
ment of Congressional enactment. 1t
would transform an order into statute
law. That would obviously add greatly
TO its prospects of perpetuity. 1t could
no longer he annuled or modified by
some President less favorable to the
merit system. but could be thus treated
only through act of Congress, far more
difficult thing to effect.
There have been some suspicious that
this bill is not favorably regarded by the
majority party in the House. Mr.. Sulzer
no doubt earnestly desires its passage,
but there are said TO be many who, while
not averSe to enjoying the credit Of hHv-
ing the bill introduced prefer that il
should be lost in the shuttle instead Of
nut upon the statute book. Such a dis
posal of IL would be a misfortune. Even
if there were no danger Of President
Taft'S fine work being marred by some
successor. il would be diScreditabie to
have il 90 on record that the elected
representatives of the nation were un-
willing to ratify so great Il reform. The
bill should be promptly passed, for the
sake of service which is Of increasing
importance 10 the nation. and for the
sake. too. of removing the last tinge Of
the roproach which once not altogether
uuiuStly rested uDOn it,

CUBAN FINANCES.

There must be clear recognition OF
the difference between the right OF this
country to intervene in Cuban fiscal af-
fairs anL the desirabiity of doing so.
The right is indisputable, from both the
legal and moral point Of view. 1t is set
forth In Il law Of the United States. III
the Constitution Of Cuba and in treaty
between the two countries. The Cuban
government is specifically bound not to
assume or contract any public debt Ito
"pay the interest upon which ana TO
make reasonable sinking fund provi-
"SiOn for the ultimate discharge Of which
"the ordinary revenues of the island,
latter defraying the current expenses OF
government. shall he inadequate and
the American government Is empowered
to intervene if necessary for the enforce
mcnt of that salutary rule
Having at great cost secured indie
pendence for Cuba, it is incumbent upon
this country to afford whatever pro
lection may be needed in order that
Independence may not be forfeited or
IMPAIRED or its blessings lost. Nobody
would dispute the right and duty of this
country to defend Cuba against the
wanton aggression Of some foreign and
hostile power. But long and unpleasant
experience has demonstrated that the
fiscal menace is greater than the mill
tary. The worst evil of the republics Of
that part of the world has been that Of
disordered finances. IT has been in
that way, I'm the great majority Of in
stances, that diplomatic complications
and military menaces have been In
Cured 1t is well, therefore, for this
country to guard against the cause of
trouble and not merely to combat the
effect.
But the desirability Of Intervention Is
a very different thing. If our right to
intervene is indisputable, 1t is at least
equally certain that 1t is most unde-
sirable for us to do so, save under ex-
treme compulsion. Before Intervention
was so much as seriously thought Of 1t
would be necessary to have it shown in
the clearest manner that Cuba was In
curing debts which were beyond her
power to pay and which would therefore
become a menace to her integrity So
far as we know that has not yet been

TuPEACHMENTS AND THE COURTS

TJIPEACHMENTS AND THE COURTS.
Upon the conduct Of Judge Archibald,
Of the Commerce Court, The Tribune
expresses no opinion. But if impeach-
ment proceedings are to be held they
should be conducted in such II way as
to inspire confidence that they afford
the public adequate protection against
improper conduct on the bench. This
has by no means always been the case.
President Taft said recently that such
proceedings had failed 10 effect the re-
mOval of judges who ought to have been
removed, and for that reason he sug-
geSted that there should be an easier
way of getting rid Of such judges. The
Ohio Constitutional Convention, in re-
Spouse to the same feeling that the
present impeachment method was cum
brous and unsatisfactory and that its
failure contributed to the demand for
the recall, has just adopted an amend
ment providing special machinery for
impeachment proceedings.
Failure Of impeachment proceedings
in the past has probably been due to a
mistaken notion that confidence in the
courts would be best preserved by a
discreet silence about their dereictions,
unless those derelictions were so grave
and fragrant that silence was no longer
possible. That feeling has changed. and
with the change there is reason TO hope
that such proceedings will gain new
effectiveness.
Nothing will be better for the courts
than vigorous procedure against
judges who are guilty of actions which
the public conscience does not approve.
The people are sensitive about the up
rightneSs of the Judiciary. Their stand
ard Of conduct is rigorous. Faith in the
Judges will not be maintained by hid
ing their faults. but by dealing with
them sharply and sternly. If the cir
cumStanCes in this case require an I'M
parchment the impeachment system
itself will be on trial. If 1t should be
shown to be capable Of satisfying the
public conscience the peril of the judi
cial recall would be made more remote.

URGES PLANTING OF TREES.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Arbor Day Is less generally consld-
cred az having practical educational re-
sources in large cities and less so In New
York than many others. especially Western
cities. where II will turn out fortunately for
them some day, where they are doing a good
deal OF roadside shade tree planting. Sur
prlsng as It may appear to some folks. in
Guiding the city authorities, New York af
fords fine field for the exploitation of tree
planting, with the work of which Arbor
Day might be Interestingly associated. A
little moro interest in its instructive posi-
billtles by tho Board Of Education and the
encouragement OF It's more practical OBJ
servance In the schools would greatly en-
large the scope OF interest and usefulness
of the day
Songs and recitatons always interest tho
children. but the significance OF the day
would be greatly enhanced by associating
with them in the programme the lightly
ceremonious planting OF tree or vine
There Is much OF inspiring suggestion
grasped at single impulse Of the magma
ton In a child associated with the actual
work Of planting tree or other substantial
form OF vegetation Nor can our children
of to-day. who not many years hence are
to deal with public affairs. begin too early
to learn this serious story of conservation
of water and OF the forests OF their own
country
Meanwhile why not encourage the plant
Ing OF many trees in association with our
numerous public schools. whose official pre-
cincts are devoid OF this simple but har-
mcnious and effective adornment Author
lie the principals to act with more freedom
IN the matter Let the children aid In the
enterprise. while. IL appealed to. there are
many parents who would gladly lend a
hard. Small parties could be detailed to
plant memorial trees In the small parks
to become objects Of interest for many
years to come. I am sure the Tree Plant
