THE INSECT TAX.



The cut worm. the boil weevil, the
Hessian fly. the potato bug and miscel-
laneous other insects, the field mice,
the shrews and the barn and house
rats have no quarrel over the high
cost Of living. says The Toledo Blade.
The country to them is a land flowing
with milk and honey.
The farmer plants for them. He
provides them with shelter. He rais-
es scarecrows to warn of their ene-
mics. And in between times the boys
go forth with rifle and shotgun, with
bird lime and "siingshots." and see
to 1t that the insects and rodents are
further protected.
The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates that the tax the farmers of the
United States pay for the luxury Of
insects and rodents amounts to ST.
000,000.000 year. This is the value
Of food destroyed. 1t Is that much
taken from the farmers just profits.
1t Is that much food kept from the
markets where loud cries are raised
from time to time against excessive
prices.
When the farmers decide that they
prefer this money to the food destroy
ers. they will stop the forays on the
birds. They will encourage them To-
take up early residence In the coun-
tryside and to linger longer than is
their custom. They will plant hedges
leave few more trees standing, for
Dear to clear out all the underbrush.
so that the birds may have nesting
places and those that stay through
the winter may have shelter. They
Will not quarrel with the whole tribe
of hawks because an occasional in
dividual loots pulIet. They will not
try to kin Off all the crows because
sprouting corn is pulled up once In
a while. They Wit consider these,
some slight return for the work Of
the hawks. crows and owls in pur-
suing the field mice and moles.
Kill the birds and accept the insects.
Spare the birds and be spared the Bill
lion-dollar insect tax. This Is the
choice the farmers have to make.

THE ILLINOIS PRIMARY.
CLARK AND ROOSEVELT SEEM
TO HAVE BIG LEADS.
Lorimers Friends Beaten, Among
These is Len Small, Who Seems to
Have Lost to Dincen.

Chicago, April 9.-Winners in the
Illinois preferential advisory and di-
rect primary elections today are indi-
Gated by sufficient returns to REQUIRE
predictions as follows:
For president-Champ Clark. DEM
ocrat; Theodore Roosevelt, Republi-
can.
For United States senator--L. Y, l.
Sherman; j. II. Lewis, Democrats, un-
contested.
For governor-Chas S. Deenen. Re-
publican; Edward F. Dunno. Demo.
crat.
Col. Roosevelt's State managers
claimed his majority over President
Taft as from 100000 to 10000.
Returns indicate his vote was near
ly five to two for Taft Presidential
delegates were not named on the bal
lots and will be elected by congress-
ional districts and at large, the effect
OF tcday's vote being only to serve as
a guide to party officials as indicating
party feeling.
Sherman's lead over Cullom for the
advisory vote for United States sena-
tor was small, and complete returns
from out in the State might over
throw the apparent result at mid
night.
Gov. Deneen's chief fight was
against Sub-Treasurer Len Small re-
ferred to as the candidate Of Senator
Lorimer. Advices indicate Gov. De-
neen has won by five to three in the
State. Deneen's indicated majority in
Cook county was $4,000.
The Democratic contest for gov
ernor offered more opportunity for
conjecture at midnight. Dunno had
an indicated majority Of $1,000 in
Cook county. but Alschuler, his near
est competitor, appeared to be run
ming so we'll in the State that conser-
vative estimates Of Dunne's majority
were from 10000 to 10000 in the
State.
Congressional returns were DELAYED
and estimates were impossible. Chi
cago voters voted 2 to I against wo-
man suffrage In the preferential pri-
mary.
Roosevelt carried the home ward
OF Congressman William Mckinley
Taft's campaign manager in Cham
paign; he was successful In the Sew
enieenth congressional district where
Col. Frank =. Smith. the Taf state
manager lives. and in Former Speak
er Joseph q. Cannons home city of
Danville Roosevelt poIled 1914 to
Tafts 1897.
Senator La Toilette polled small
vote. In Cook county where it ap-
peared heaviest the Wisconsin senator
had an apparent vote OF 14,4OO, where
RooseveIt's apparent vote was S6,-
144 and that Of Taft 52,064.
While Col. Rooseveft's lead in Cook
county was on a basis of approx
mately s to over Taft, returns from
out I'm the State indicate he ran
stronger there, In places as high as
8 to I, bringing the estimated aver
age 10 5 TO 2.
Champ Clark's candidacy met lust
the opposite result. In Chicago his
apparent majority, based on more
than three-fourths Of the total num-
Der or precincts. was above 10000,
or proportion OF about 4 to
over Wilson. Tn the State precincts
his lead was in a proportion Of about
s to 5. making the general proportion
as indicated in returns at midnight
about 2 to I.

and numerous dances. The comedians

thoff, who, by the way, Is a Washing
tonian, are remarkably clever. Many
