The venerable editor Of the Park
ersburg State Journal knows what
he Is talking about, when he says:
The Republican party is not SO dead
as the foolish Democratic papers and
politicians claimed to believe It was.
1t is as big and glorious as 1t ever
was. A hundred years hence 1t will
still be running the country. Between
this and that time the Democrats will
have ITO more national administra-
tions-one. in 1876 and the other In
2004 I: Z ri rs5fs
In 1912, the Democratic party polled
six million votes iout Of fifteen mil
lions, and yet many Of its newspapers
and fool politicians seemed to believe
1t had taken on new life, whereas ii
was simply galvanized into seeming
vitality by the dissensions Of Repub-
licans, this last being only an illus
tratlon OF the fact that the best OF
regulated families will have their
troubles.
9 In 1916. the Democratic party will
have million fewer votes than ii had
in 1912, as It had q million fewer in
this last named year than it had in
the election four years before that.

Importance Of killing Rats.

~ j .. 7..sFY7
In the current issue Of Farm and
Ffreside. the national farm paper pub.
lished at Springfield, Ohio, Herbert
Quick, the editor, writes an editorial
entitled ION With the Killing!'
in which he gives many interesting
facts about rats and other dangers al
enemies to man:
The city Of Philadelphia is appro.
priating $4,000 to be used in "exter-
minating" the rats Of the city. They
are feared as carriers OF 3bubonic
plague.
Ten thousand dollars. is not
enough. 1t will finance an annoy
ance to the rats, and that is about all.
II we could give rat-killing high
sounding name, perhaps we could
enlist in the work the able men who
should devote their lives to 1t.
The matter should be. studied much
more carefully than heretofore. 1t
should receive some such general at
tention from Institutions Of learning
as that now given to insect pests,
sprays, and fupgicides
Rat determination should be pro-
fession in which an educated man
might engage, feeling that 1t leads to
honors and emoluments. Every Sc
cret Of the rats life should be barred.
His weaknesses should be studied.
Too long have we waited for some
Pied Piper to come along and pipe
the rats into the river. The human
race seems to have made much prog
ct hn n FS,f fkr1, o n
magic, but the rat race has flourished
still more.
B The greatest enemy of man is man,
and next to him, perhaps the rat.
He is incredibly cunning. He can
live in any climate. He sails the sea
in ships. He forages in the open
tields{o burrows through walls and
intrudes into the home.
Man himself is no harder than the
rat. and in the matching of wits
the rat has up to this time been the
victor. He .augments every famine
in the world.
II the depredations of rats could
be prevented the cost of living would
certainly be lowered. Active as he
is in famine, the rats most spectacu-
lar cooperation with death lies in his
copartnership with pestilence.
The study of method for the exter-
mtnation of rats should be financed
on some basis which will make 1t per-
manent. 1t is a fight which has not
as yet been adequately waged, not
withstanding the fine abilities of the
doctors who are fighting the rat in
combating bubonic plague. The
business needs Specialists. Nh

and are also known as the calyp 8

plants grow In the damp forests Of the

Specimens are also found in the At

The most ingenious scheme yer In
vented for doing away with the smoke
difficulty with steam locomotives was
tried some years ago on the Metropoli-
tain railway OF England. Between
the rails a trough was laid, and the en-
CINE carried a sliding shoe device
adapted to slide over this, and to open
doors as 1t passed, whereby smoke let
from the stack to the shoe was en-
abled to pass into the trough, thence
being exhausted to a collecting plant"
Another scheme for solving the smoke
difficulty was to construct a series of
smokestacks leading to the back of
the train, This would have kept the
cinders out Of the passengers eyes,
possibly. but would hardly have been
to make the smoke settle on
the c%ompany's right-of-way.
