Scientist Says Baby Factories Will
Take Place of Parents.

(Boston Special to New York Times }
That it was possible TO create hu-
man life by chemical means and that
baby factory was not out OF the
question of the distant future was as
serted by DR.. Schermerhorn, Of the
department Of philosophy in Havard.
Life is not confined to the animal
and plant world he said. "The whole
universe Is alive, and all that lives Is
conscious.
Animals are conscious and gifted
with the power of thought and imag-
ination. even though Roosevelt says
they do not know when they are be-
ing slaughtered.
plants are conscious, and Ruskin
and Goethe agree they are capable OF
exercising strategy and forethought,
Even Darwin said plants were sensi-
tive, and hence he must have believ-
ed they were conscious.
ut Is obvious that the evolution
from so-called matter to human life
Is possible. The chemist of the fu-
ture will labor so that men shall be
made in baby factories as chickens
are hatched in incubators."

CUSTOMS REORGANIZATTON.
Secretary MacVeagh Submits His
Plans to President Taft.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Secretary
MacVeagh today submitted to Presi-
dent Taft his plans for the reorganiza-
ton Of the customs service in ac-
cordance with the authority granted.
by Congress.
Because of sweeping changes con-
templated the President had been urg-.
ed to leave the reorganization for
President Wilson to work out. Treas.
ury officials, however are pointing out
to the President that if he postpones
action the entire law authorizing the
changes will be lost, because Congress
stipulated as a condition that the plan
must be submitted at the present ses-
sion. The plan worked out by Secre-
tary MacVeagh and Assistant Secreta-
ry Curtis would abolish more than a
hundred collectors of customs by re-
ducing the customs districts from 165
to less than so. While many SenatorS
and Representatives have endorsed
the plan as a whole, they are said to
be protesting vigorously against parts
which affect their States or districts

! Greenville News.
Returning from a raid in the
mountain wilds of Pickens and
Oconee counties, Revenue Officer
Aiken brought news Of one of the
most successful forages he and his
associates have ever experienced in
this meek OF the woods" One par
t.cular feature of the raid was the
discovery Of an innovation in the art
of maxim ticker" that the revenue
officers have not met with before
to wit, the placing Of a distillery on
the top of a mountain peak and pip
ing water to it from a distant stream.
Those who have ever talked with
the revenue officers will remember
that one way in which distilIeries
are discovered is very simple. The
officers simply follow the course Of
some stream until they comes upon
a distillery. AS pure, fresh water is
necessary ingredient in the man
ufacture of "moonshine" whiskey,
distilleries are, as a rule, always pIac-
ed on some mountain stream where
water can be secured with ease.
wishing 20 hookwink the revenue
officers when looking for distilleries
ia This manner, certain moonshiners
decided 10 locate their distillery on
the top of a distant mountain-the
last place in the world where one
would go to look for a ''moonshine"
plant In order to get their supply
OF fresh water to the dilstillery, the
"Woonshiners" picked out a stream
where there was a swift waterfall,
and putting in a pipe here, convey
ed their water to the mountain top
by pipe line. The natural pressure
of the water at the cataract forced
the liquid through the pipe line to
the top of the distant mountain.
where the distillery was located.
While vending his way up this par
ticular stream, officer Aiken came
across the pipe line half concealed in
the ground. Knowing that the willy
"moonshiners" are up to all kinds of
tricks to hoodwink the revenue men.
Officer Aiken did a little investigating
and found that the pipe line led to
a distant mountain top, from whence
a column of pale smoke rose straight
up Arriving upon the mountain
top, the officer discovered a full
hedged and up-to-date distillery, con-
sisting Of an S0-gallon copper still
and other paraphernalia. Something
like $500 gallons of beer were de-
stroyed.
On this same trip Revenue officer
Aiken succeeded in destroying one of
the biggest distilleries that has ever
been found in this section of the
country. The plant consisted of q
1OO-gallon copper still and other par
aphernalia Of corresponding proper
tions.

TREES ALONG HIGHWA -
Other States Should EoIIC
Nork'S Example.


Q'rom the Chicago Record-lFerald.)
The New York State Highway
Commission, which has charge of the
extensive system of road building that
has been in progress for several
years, recently bought 10000 red
oak seedlings and $1,000 Carolina
planting along the roads. 1t is the
intention Of the commission to plant
every road on the State eventually
The trees not only will add to the
beauty of the highways, but they will
lessen the destructive effect Of storms
and provide a source Of timber sup
ply that may become important.
What New York is doing should be
done in every State as a part of the
good roads work now so extensively
planned and under construction. AL
most every road has a wide enough
right Of way to permit of a fringe of
trees. In France and Germany it is
common to use the sides Of the high
ways for this purpose, with results
that are charming and useful. There
is hardly locality in which young
trees for the purpose cannot be had
at low cost, and with a proper selec-
ton Of trees good results could be
had in a few years.

To the Press of South Carolina:
The resolutions of the Orangeburg
County Farmers Union adopted at it's
recent meeting and published below
deserves the cordial support Of every
Union in the State, and of every farm
er as well. / have been reliably in
formed that the persons who control
the sale OF nitrate of soda in South
Carolina for the next several years
have a profitable contract at $4,000
per ton. To pay $500 to 10000 just
means robbing the farmer for the en-
richment of these persons. Our people
have used nitrate i'll advisedly, have
depended on it until they are running
their lands, and such hold-up prices
are a blessing, If they will profit by
the lesson.
1 trust that every paper in the State
will lend its aid to stop this highway
robbery.

Resolutions adopted By Orangeburg
county Farmers Unon.
Whereas the price of nitrate of soda
has this spring been advanced to such
an extent that we feel it to be pro-
hibitive; and believing that this has
been done by combination of the
fertilizer companies to rob the farm
ers of this State, therefore be it re-
solved:
lst. That the Farmers Union of
Orangeburg County at it's regular
monthly meeting recommends to its
members that they use no nitrate of
soda this year on their crops. un-
less the price is reduced to reason
able figures.
End. That we ask the cooperation
OF all other farmers in our county
and urge them to assist us in making
this fight.
3rd. That a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to our State Secretary
requesting that they be forwarded to
all County Unions for their adop-
ton.
The above resolutions have been
sent to all the County Unions in the
State.
