CORN EAR WORM.

Hundreds of farmers, in every corn
growing section of the United States,
are losing considerable corn by the
corn. ear worm. A large amount OF
sweet corn and corn grown for seed
Is damaged by it.
The corn ear worm lives in the
ground, in the pupal stage, during the
winter, and great many of them may
be destroyed by thorough fall cultiva-
ton. This method Is most effective
when praeticed by a whole community,
as the moths fly for considerable dis.
tanees, and eliminating them from q
single field does not solve the problem
If the crop be sweet corn or field
corn that is grown for seed or other
special purposes it may be protected
by busting with powdered arsenate OF
lead at the time when the silks first
appear and three or four times there.
after at intervals of about five to ten
days, depending upon the weather.
This is the same insect that some
times feeds upon tomatoes. beans and
other garden crops, and here the
arsenate of lead busting is effective.

our laws Here the accusers are Judges
The corrupt practices act was designed
TO stop bribery at elections. II does not
prevent a man using money that has been
given to him to do as he liked. Where 10
the high crimes and misdemeanors come
in? And why is all this state fuss! las
there been any bribery charge made!
Have the voters been corrupted? III TINS

Governor Sulzer would now be pictured as

painted with beautiful notices. such as
Welcome TO our city" "Bill, the con-
auering hero" and God bless the Peo-
pies House" When you select man
for the jury you ask il he is prejudiced'
In this matter the public knows that
many OF the Senators and Assemblymen
are prejudlced and should not be allowed
as state Jurors. Judge Cullen should de-
clare their seats vacant at once. Gov

The Sooner the Better.

The Republican Congressional Committee has in
formally approved plan for altering the basis Of
representation In Republican national conventions.
This committee is voluntary association formed
by members Of Congress to promote party success
in Congress elections. 1t has authority TO speak
and act for the party, as the national committee
has, but being concerned with Republican success
next year. when new House of Representatives
and one-third Of the Senate are TO be chosen, it
realizes even more clearly than the national COM
mittee has seemed to realize that If the party wants
TO win it must manifest new spirit OF progress
siveness and berality and put control Of its ma
chnery back into the hands Of the Republican
voters.
The national committee should bestir itself to
carry out the will of the party. The state conven-
tons OF Michigan and New York--the only conven-
tons held so far in this off year-have demanded
change in the basis Of representation and the
calling of a convention for the purpose Of making
that change. Until something is done the good in
tentions of the present party organization will be
more less under suspicion. The Republican
house should be set In order before the campaign
for the control Of the next Congress begins.

Whatever be the truth about DR.. Dieseis disap-

invention. Soon after gasOlene came into use as a
source of power, efforts were made to employ petro
leum in the way, because of the iatters cheap
ness. Properly to vaporize the heavier fluid 50 rs
to leave no residue in the cylinder after explosion
was a problem calling for much ingenuity and
patience but it was finally solved.
At first gas substituted for steam in station

burned in place of coal under steam boiler
Weight for weight oil develops about twice as much
heat as the harder fuel. This fact has commended

for storage Equally valuable, though. is the use
OF the fluid when exploded in the cylinder. For

"Safety First" on the New Haven.

In its new time table the New Haven has put
"safety first to such an extent that 1t has length
ened the running time of twothirds Of its one thou
sand trains. The lengthening varies from four TO
TWENTY-FIVE minutes on the short distances that
prevail in New England.
We shall now see how little force there is In the
rlea that the public demand is responsible for the
biob sneed that has made travel on this and other
roads unsafe There is hardly doubt that there
will no general approval Of the step which the
New Haven has taken.
The public demands not speed so nuch as "''al'
