MERELY COMMENT

While Ham Lewis is resting his
busy whiskers at Hot Springs, the
rest of us will get a rest, too.
That cubist stuff must be the jim
jams of art.
Else why did the Nude descend the
staircase?
Why secret sessions of that white
slave committee? And with the de-
partment store managers?
Old Vic Lawson began scolding the
Progressives right after election. The
old fox can always tell which way the
cats going to jump after said cat
has jumped.
We rather imagine Ham Lewis
chief occupation in Washington will
be trying to look the part.
Cassidy's vote in the 18th ward
may mean that Barney Grogan and
Carter Harrison kissed and made up
before the polls opened.
One of the best illustrations we
have seen of the influence of Chi
cago's great newspapers is the big
vote they DIDN'T pile up against Aid.
Kenna.
And the big papers are real peeved
because the bond issue carried after
they had ordered the people not to
vote for it.
But what will happen if Billy Lori
mer should come back? -
One of the interesting things about
politics, you know, is that sometimes
most always you can't hardly tell a
darned thing about it.
We hope that legislative investiga-
ton of Intellectual and organized
charity won't show that our generous
philanthropists have been paying be-
low-the-bread-line wages to any of |
the high-brow help.
Did you ever hear of actors and
actresses, refusing to donate their |
services gladly for the benefit Of |

LARGl~aMs HAVE SIGNED NEW
AGREEMENT WITH PAINTERS
Despite stories in the trust newspa-
pers to the contrary, most of the
larger firms have signed the new
agreement with the Painters District
Council and the men are returning to
work under better conditions and bet
ter wages.
According to the Record-Herald
this morning, the bosses have not
signed but the men are going to work
again pending an agreement. This is
absolutely untrue.
"The trust papers have been trying
to discredit the painters during this
strike said Henry Wagner, business
agent of the Painters District Coun-
Gil, this morning. Every man who
has gone back to work so far, has
only gone under the new agreement.
The men laughed at the compromise
offered by the bosses and most of the
employers soon saw the folly of their
way and quickly signed the agree
ment presented by the painters.
Marshall Field, Mandel Bros,
Tobey Furniture Co., Hasselgren and
nearly all the large north side con-
tractors have signed. Only the firms
that have not very many jobs right
now are holding out" ...r
This morning there was only about
1,5O0 men out. w. P. Nelson, ]. B.
NOZZLE, ]. G.. Mccarthy and a few
other bosses are still fighting against
the new agreement.

TO BE SUBMITTED
TWO ORDINANCES TO BE VOTED
ON BY CITY COUNCIL AT NEXT
MEETING.

In addition to the splitting ordinance
that will be brought up i'll the next
council meeting. as before published,
City Attorney Kinder vii: present a
draft of Il Moving Picture Ordinance,
according to instructions given him a
short time back. In order for this or
dinance to be effective it will be neces-
sary for the city council to designate.
ar appoint a city electrical inspector.
In connection with this the plumbers
of the city state that they will. at the
mex meeting of the council. ask
it to appoint a city electrical and plumb
ing Inspector.
Whether this can be done without ar
ranging for Il salaried official. is yet
undetermined The growth of the city
is such as to make this a very laboriouS
work now. and the fees from such q posi-
ton would hardly pay a competent man
10 take the work.
The moving picture ordinance is in ac-
cord with the underwriters code and
practically what is in force in the
larger cities.
The butchers at the city market are
still worrying with the heat and the
flies and are hoping that they will get
some action on their petition by next
meeting of the council.

COTTON LEAF WORM
DIR. HARRINGTON ADVISES SEED
MEN, DRUGGISTS AND FARMERS
TO PREPARE FOR PEST.

The Herald received the following
communication from DR.. ii. ii. Harring-
ton, agricultural director for the Frisco:
Il would like to call the attention Of
the druggists and secdmen of your city.
as well as the farmers i'll the adjacent
ty OF poison on hand for the cotton leaf
worm. So far as | have been able to
learn the worm has not yet appeared on
cotton anywhere in the Gulf Coast coun-
try, but as every one knows the condi-
tons are very favorable for its appear
nee at any time, and it is well to be
prepared for it in advance. At least
enough Paris green or arSenate of 'ead
should be available for each farmer III
your locality to poison his cotton the
first time the worm appears This
would mean from | II pounds Of Paris
green to > or > l. pounds Of arscnate
Of lead TO the acre of cotton.
The Paris green should be mixed
with ) or & pounds of flour and busted
on, while the arscnate of lead is prefer
ably applied as 4 spray.
II hope the farmers viii advise their
local dealers of the amount of poison
needed in order that the dcpredations Of
the worm. if it does appear, may be
checked as promptly as possible. The
poison will keep indefinitely if not need
cd this season."

IN a SERIOUS PICKLE

IN A SERIOUS PICKLE
Though he worked in town,
Wilkins had dear little house in
the country, where he Slept each
night and where he week-ended.
Slopton was the village, and
the only objection to the place
was an enormous and particularly
muddy depression in the road,
which was a perpetual nuisance
to the inhabitants of this other
wise truly delightful spot.
For many months Wilkins had
drawn the attention of the town
council to the subject, and one
night, on his way home from the
station, he beheld two councilmen
wallowing in. the mire.
Gentlemen of the Council of
Slopton," he remarked, I have
often petitioned your honorable
