the wild woman Of England. Be-
cause he can't have his own
petty way he seeks to destroy.
He spouts his venom whenever
an opportunity is afforded and
attempts to poison the public
mind all to the end that dis
content may prevail and he
hopes to benefit thereby politi-
cally.
This sort of thing is to be ex-
pected in the political campaign
which is just opening and it viii
be kept up until election day.
There is no real issue upon which
the Republican Party can make a
respectable fight, and hence it
must, in its melancholy, beat the
tomtoms Of despair. The Demo
cratic regime has been one Of
constructive legislation and it
has left its opponents nothing
which they can successfully as
sail.
A few days ago a Republican
member Of The United States
Senate, one whose term Is draw
ing to a close and who sees the
necessity Of doing something to
insure his return, in an attack
upon the administration, declar-
ed that the revenues of the
Government were running be-
hind and that public expendi-
lures would have to be met in
the familiar Democratic way Of
issuing bonds. " This was a de-
liberate libel and a false state
ment which the distinguished
Senator could not have failed to
know was not the truth if he
had but taken the small trouble
to make an inquiry Of the Treas
Jury Department.
When the Underwood-Sim-
mons tariff bill was enacted,
Representative Underwood mad,
4 a conservative estimate Of the
revenues which would be deserved
and stated that the act, together
with the money received from
the income tax, the internal rev
enua and the usual miscellaneous
sources, would provide a sur
Plus of $18,0000O0 year after
paying all the expenses Of the
Government. The actual facts
developed during the first eight
months that the measure has
been upon the statute books
show that the Democratic leader
was too conservative in his esti-
mate. Mr.. Underwood figured
that the customs under his bill
would amount to $27O,OO0,0OO at
the close Of the fiscal year, June

Keep Up The Chinch Bug Fight.
By L. Haseman.


The chinch bugs are beginning
to migrate fully ten days earlier
than usual. In some places they
are already moving into corn
fields and remedies must be APP
piled at once Where the pest
has not yet begun to migrate
use the dust and chemical bar
r1ers to hold them in the wheat
fields. The best dust barrier
can be made by blowing one or
more parallel bitches and drag
ging a log through these until
every clod has been ground in
to fine dust. 1t is the dust,
rather than the ditch which
keeps back the bugs, so make
sure that there is plenty of fine
dust. After the ditch has been
properly made it is necessary
that the log be dragged back
land forth in it every few min
ujo during the warm part of the
day when the bugs are most ac-
tive. 20 as to Keep the dust STIR
red. A plowed strip properly
worked so as to maintain a fine
dust mulch will take the place of
the bitches.
In case OF rain dust barrier
cannot be maintained and
supply Of creosote, a crude ear
bolic acid, heavy road oil or
coal tar should be on hand for
making a chemical barrier. Keep
the line fresh by adding more
material to prevent them from
breaking across. Where the
chemical is thin like oil, apply
1T by bending the edge of a pail
so as to form a narrow spout or
by driving nail through the
side of the pail so as to per-
Mt orly a fine stream to es-
cape as the line is being formed.
A narrow firm path should first
be made with a hoe, shovel or
drag along which the chemical
is poured The line need not
be more than an inch wide if it
is renewed often enough. Post
holes placed so as to touch or
cut into the line will act as traps
into which the bugs will fall
where they are easily killed
with coal oil
Where the pest has already
gotten into the corn, spray or
use a torch to kill the bugs. The
spray recommended is made as
follows: Dissolve one-half
pound of laundry soap in One
gallon of water by boiling; then
add two gallons of coal-oil to
the hot sOap-water and beat the
two solutions up together. An
old churn is excellent for the
purpose. Dilute to twenty or
twenty-five gallons before using.
This spray kills when it touches
the body of the bug and it may
be applied to the migrating
swarms on the ground, as well
as on the corn. Paris green
and other arsenical pOisQns are
of no value, since this bug takes
IT'S food in the form of sap
through a piercing beak. Cobs
saturated in coal-oil and lighted,
are sometimes used to flash up
and down infested plants for
killing the bugs. Waste no time
attempting to scatter diseased
bugs, for the seeds or spores of
the disease are present in all
soils and if the weather is prop
er the disease will develop and
destroy the bugs without man. s
aid.
Farmers may help in controll-
ing the chinch bug by report
ing all outbreaks, as well. as the
results obtained by using the
above remedies, to the Missouri

Blow Beneath the Belt?

SENATOR DUNG FLETCHER and his
folks used to be Populists. Later on, the
Establishments of the oily princes of Special
Privilege we're too much for Dune and after
Satan had walked him up the hill and showed
him the panorama, Dune said, ''Lucifer, I'm
yours truly"
When the Lumber Trust demanded that
Congress give it a law which would enable it
to rob the buyer of at least $3.50 on every
thousand feet Of lumber, Dune Fletcher voted
with the robbers.
When the Steel Trust demanded continual
ton of it's Special Privilege to plumber the
American consumers, Dune molly answered
the call
When the Lumber Trust bought seat in
the Senate for that fragrant patriot, William
Lorlmer, one Of the statesmen who thought
the deal was virtuous transaction was Dune
Fletcher, although Dune says he is a Demo
crat, and Lorimer poses as Republican.
Both of these Senatorial slaves belong to
the same Marster and work on the same plan
tation; and therefore it does not much matter
what names they give each other.
When the Marster calls his roll Of Senate
rial slaves, Fletchers name comes ahead Of
Lorimer's, in alphabetical order: that is all.
They both belong to Ole Marse, the Lumber
Trust,
Not long ago, Dune Fletcher was candi-
date for reelection. His opponent was John
N. G. Stockton, Progressive Democrat. who
has spent his life combating the efforts Of
the Wall Street corporations to corrupt and
control Florida politics.
In the crisis Of the campaign, the President
of the United States, Woodrow Tumulty, was
appealed to by Dune Fletcher, the Lorimer
man.
One Arthur T. Williams wrote to YOUR
President a letter, of which the following
paragraph is the gist-
Senator FIetcher's opponent claims that the
Senator should be classed as reactionary and
that his record in the Senate has been favorable
to special interests and that be is not in accord
with the politics and principles Of your admins
tratlOn
Il should be glad if you would give me the
benefit of your views i'll this matter and allow
me to use the same in respect to these charges
Don't you think that the President might
have told Mr.. Williams to examine FletchcI's
record, for himself?
Don't you think that if the record Of
Fletcher is O. k, the record itself is the high
est and best evidence?
Instead of referring this Arthur T. VII.
liams to the Congressional Record, the Jesuit
Tpmulty butted into the Florida campaign,
and drove the knife into Stockton thus
u am surprised that any should charge
Senator Fletcher with being reactiOnary' Ger
talnIy, during the time have been able to observe
his course Of action, be has supported the pro-
gressive policy of the party not only with unvary-
ing loyalty, but with real energy, and has shown
at every turn q desire to promote the best inter-
eSts of the people through the instrumentality OF
legislation. / have learned to feel the highest
regard for him and glad to have this oppor-
tunity of expressing my confidence in him in
answer to your question"

Roasting On the Safety
Valve.


4 INT we Democrats brave?
"A We kicked out of job and a livelihood,
q grand daughter of President Tyler, the
President who saved Oregon when Daniel
Webster was about to yield it to England
We kicked out Miss Tillman i'll Alabama,
because a greedy henchman of q tra1llcklng
politician wanted the place.
We kicked Harry Edwards out of the
Macon post office, although he had made a
model officer and is the most brilliant man
of letters the South has produced since Edgar
Poe
We kicked out General Longstreet's widow
relic of the modest and laborious soldier
who fought all the way from First Manassas
to Appomattox, man not given to advertis-
ing himself and who never took credit for his
victories, nor answered those who loaded his
broad back with their mistakes.
In kicking Mrs. Longstreet out, we had to
violate the rule that a Congressman's home
office is to be filled by has choice
When this arrogant Boss, Senator Smith
was in Cleveland's Cabinet-0nd before he
acds forced to get o21t-he tried to have post
master named, over the head of Congressman
L. F. Livingston President Cleveland
sharply called down the arrogant Smith, and
appointed Livingston's man.
But the courtesy which President Cleveland
extended to Livingston at Covington and
McDonough, was denied to Hon Tom Bell,
by President Wilson; and Mr.. Bell had to
submit to an outrageous humiliation and
breach of custom, because Goliath Smith hated
General Longstreets widow.
AS yet we Democrats have our niggers.
The coons r0ost high.
White folks come and go, but Cufee stays
put.
Bob Terrell is Judge Of our City Court, at
passing sentence, according to Bobs idea of
Blackstone, Gritty, Coke, Littleton, Bishop,
Coolidge, Kent, Hoye and Mumbo Jumbo.
Senator Goliath Smith did not make any
fight on the appointment of this negro to act
as Judge, over white people.
Let him deny it, if he dares, and I will pull
the Record on him.
Senator Goliath Smith has not made any
fight to have Lincoln johnson removed,
although Link is a Republican niger. just as
Bob Terrell is.
These Republican negroes are serenely
squatting on the safety valve. drawing bio
salaries out Of the white people, exercising
authority over the white people, and keeping
white people out of good jobs which Justly
belong to white people.
What is the secret of Hoke Smiths. fondness
for this Atlanta coon, Link johnson?
If the Self-appointed Senator had SO much
power over the Administration that he could
break the rule at Gainesville. trample on the
rights of Congressman Bell, and GUST the
widow of General Lees Old Warhorse, why
is it that he cannot remove the Republican
negro, Link johnson?
