SAYS BUSINESS
WILL Be GOOD
PRESIDENT WILSON ASSURES
vlRGlNlANs THAT COUNTRY is
ENTERING PROSPERITY.

Washington, ID. G., June 27--Under
a new constitution of freedom for
business given by antitrust legisla
ton soon to be passed by congress,
President Wilson has promised the
country the greatest business boom
in its history. This was the presi-
dents final answer to opponents OF
trust legislation at this session of con
gress and to prophets of evil times,
delivered with determined expression
and every word emphasized with
clenohed fist.
The president spoke to a group of
virginia editors at the White House
but his assurances were intended for
the country There was every indica-
ton that the speech was meant to be
one of the most important of the ad-
ministration.
News of the failure of the II, b.
Claflin company in New York, has
reached the White House earlier In
the day, but the president did not men,
tion the incident.
81 think It is appropriate in receiv-
ing YOU" the president said, "to say
Just a word or two in assistance of
your judgment about existing condi-
tons. You are largely responsible for
the state of public opinion. You fur.
nish the public with information and
in your editorials you furnish it with
the Interpretation of that information.
We are in the presence of business
situation which is variously interpret
ed. Here in Washington, through in
strumentalities that are at our dispos.
al and through information which
comes into us from all parts rf the m
tion, we are perhaps in a position t'
judge of the actual condition of bust
ness better than those can judge who
are at any other single point in the
country; and | want to say to you
that as matter of fact the signs of q
very strong business revival are be
coming more and more evident from
day to day.

National Highways.

Let's help the National Highway As.
sociation in their fight for a national
department of highways and for ma.
tional system of highways. Every
state and local good roads association
should affiliate with the National
Highways association and lend their
assistance in this the greatest move
ever launched in America. We should
in no wise ask for national aid to be
divided between the congressional dis
tricts, which is a purely puny political
pork barrel proposition. We must
have a national system Of highways
which shall be built, owned and main
tanned by the national government
We of Oklahoma are interested in
the location of the national highways
which will sooner or later be estab-
lished in our state. Organization, co
operation is the only way for us to
have a voice in these matters.

State Commissioner of Highways

FIGHTING BOIL WEEVlLS.
ingenious Plan to Rid Fields of Pest
In Fallen Squares.

San Antonio, Tex, June PA de-
monstration that industry and ingenui-
ty are about half of the battle when
scientific methods are applied to fight
ing boil weevils, has been given by
two farmers near Floresville, Texas.
They knew that squares attacked by
lily than other squares; that in fact
they usually fall prematurely of their
own weight, and that the weevil eggs
hatch rapidly from the fallen squares.
These farmers devised a simple instru-
ment which negro could handle in
removing the squares before the Vice.
vii eggs had time to hatch. They
filed the end of a stick with spikes,
by attaching to it a piece of leather
studded with sharp pointed nails. The
negro took this stick, and walking
leisurely down a row knocked the
cotton plants enough so that all dis
eased squares fell to the ground,
whereupon he speared them with the
spikes and tossed them into a bag
over his shoulder. 1t is said the spiked
stick requiring little or no effort, made
an ideal job from the negro's point
of view and that he reduced the ap-
parent supply of weevil squares by
more than fifty per cent.

Spending the entire winter in Windsor
Detroit and Mt. Clemens, 20 miles

most progressive cities in Michigan

of Mt. Clemens, having resided there
in 1864. fifty years ago. he was lost
many times in the great salt water

MAY DIMINISH POLITICAL INTEREST.

Naturally political interest in the United States
will be greatly diminished while colossal war is
raging in Europe Even national elections will be
overshadowed by the events that to take
place on the European continent and of which the
American people will be profoundly interested spec
tators.
1t must be remembered also that millions in this
country who of European birth parentage
have more than spectators interest in this gigantic
struggle of nations and and they will follow
its daily phases with absorbed attention losing inter
est the peaceful and comparative uneventful poll
tics of this country
Today all American newspapers devote large
part of their space to European news AS the
theatre of war broadens and great armies come
into collision the space for will be enlarged
to the detrimen of all domestic including local
State and national politics.

NO COMPLICATIONS IN FOREIGN POLITICS.

Washington's solemn admonition to the people
of the republic he founded to avoid all entange-
ments in European politics comes into the mind of
every thoughtful at this time. 1t was the
essence of wisdom. 1t has kept this country in its
policy almost completely isolated from European
political affairs and free from European quarres.
On the continent of Europe today there is hardly
single nation large small, that may not be
drawn into the gigantic soon to be begun or
that will not be made victims of it. Canada as a
dependency of Great Britain is remote from the
theatre of war are, but British possession
she belongs to the politics of Europe, and may suffer
the consequences either during after the war.
And as we have lived up to the sage maxim of
Washington, so must government rigidly adhere
to it in the and during the continuance of the
struggle in Europe Our splendid isolation be
maintained by wise craftsmanship at Washington.

North Dakota Coal

Although the production of coal in
North Dakota in 1913 was only 1885,
800 short tons, valued at $750,652,
some extremely interesting facts re-
garding the possibilities of the vast
deposits which underlie the State are
shown in statement by e. w. Park
er just made public by the United
Safes Geological Survey. All the
present mineral fuel produced in
North Dakota is brown coal, or lig-
mite. Considerable areas of sub
bituminous coal of disable quality and
workable thickness are believed to
underlie portions of the Ignite areas,
but no attempt to exploit the subbitu-
minous Goals has been made, Com
pared with 1911, when the production
attained its maximum record OF 502,-
1928 tons, the output in 1918 shows q
decrease of 1850 tons.
The relatively small differences In
production during the last three years
indicate an absence of any fiuctuating
influences and show that active de-
velopment of Ignite properties will
wait upon increased population. Al

Rabies and Dog-days

much better time to select for dog
days in the popular sense than tho
weeks of July and August that have
by misapprehension come to be look
ed on as the special period of danger,
The recent Seattle epidemic shows
how much of real danger there is
from this disease when 1t gains
foothold because of neglect of proper
precautions. Surgeon Lloyd, of tho
Public Health Service, recently re-
ported that up to the beginning of
June there had been 361 cases of
canine rabies in the city of Seattle
since the outbreak of the disease be-
gan in September, 1913 Up to this
the disease had not been observed In
Seattle.
This is what may occur practically
anywhere in this country If the in
frequency of the disease begets over
confidence and neglect. Although we
disapprove of the inf1iction of I'M
necessary suffering on animals, says
the Journal of the American Medical
Association the popular dread of
dogs during the misunderstood dog
days affords to physicians an educa-
tional opportunity too good to be lost.
This is the time when they may
profitably emphasize the need for spe-
cial precautions with regard to the
spread of rabies. The problem of the
control of rabies is mainly the care
of stray animals and of those that
have no proper owner, but live more
or less on the bounty of the COM
munity. Careful registration of ami
mails and the destruction of those
for which no one would assume re-
sponsibility to the extent of paying a
yearly license would greatly limit the
disease. The problem is simpler In
England, but the success in prac-
tically celebrating the disease for the
last twenty years in that country
shows what can be accomplished. We
need intelligent, persistent scientific
interest to prevent the spread of the
| disease, and not the annual attack
of hysteria that infiicts cruelty with
cut accomplishing any good purpose.
