INSECT STANDARDS

Speaking of flies-well Just listen
TO these remarks made in Chicago a
few days ago by DR.. W. A. Evans in
an address 10 a meeting of women:
You have" he said. zone standard for
bedbugs and one for flies. You must
learn to be just as much ashamed of
flies as OF bedbugs" Yes-there pro-
bablly is third standard for mosqui-
to. another for potato beetles and yet
another for snakes-but let's not get
confused among all these standards.
If is is true that there is a standard
for bedbugs and another for flies.
let's admit that we're for the single
standard and the restriction of both
flies and bedbugs. For particulars in
regard TO the bedbug, please address
any person who ever slept-or tried
to sleep-in an infested lumber camp
or other place haunted by the afor-
said bug Only a few details will be
needed to make you a bitter foe of
this insect. Then. in the absence of
bedbugs, vent your wrath on the fly.
He is everywhere Adhere to the sin
gle standard. Be ashamed of every fly
you see escaping the swatter. But
being merely ashamed of either in
sect will not influence them in the
least. only vigorous methods viii 70

THE ST. LOUIS PLAN.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.)

(Pittsburg Dispatch.)
or the varieties OF plans for city
government there seems no end.
Scarcely any two large cities forsak-
| ing the federal system have agreed
on Identical plans. Boston's differs
from PittSburgs Cleveland's from
Galveston'S. Buffalos suggested plan
from the one Kansas City has been
I discussing, and now St Louis has a
new variation. Some of the diver
gence is, of course, due to state leg
islation, but most often to local theo-
ries as 10 the best way to meet local
problems.
Folks exposure of "boodllngn in
the city government was before the
days OF the commission plan and its
modifications. After momentary re-
vulsion St Louis returned apparently
To municipal comnolency. But four
years ago a determined effort was
made to procure a new charter only
to result in its defeat by a majority
of over 10000 in a vote but $50 less
than that polled this week when the
new charter won by majority of p
6S1. That gives an idea of the re-
Nersal of sentiment that has been in
progress since 1910.
The new charter abolishes the BIZ
cameral chambers elected by wards.
and substitutes board of 2S alder
men nominated by wards but elected
at large. The mayor and comptrol-
Ter are the only elective administra-
tive officials; all others become ap-
pointive. The charter also includes
the initiative. referendum and recall. !
The new plan was supported by
most of the newspapers and the CEN
tral committees of all three political !
particles. as well as by a citizens |
movement. 1t was opposed bv the |
utility corporations. a strong coterie |
OF professional politicians and office |
holders and allied interests. The !
vote was not quite two-thirds of the |
registration, so that the new system
was adopted by the votes of some
thing short of oEe-third the registered /
voters, a fact that with the initiative |
referendum and recall provisions |
starts 'the new st, Louis" as the pa
pers hail it, on very precarious f-ot-
ing.-St Louis Post Dispatch.

NO MELON, THANK YOU.

She was a dear old lady. but very
nesr-sighted; and thereby hangs a
tale.
At a dinner party recently, while
engaged in earnest conversation with
the man on her right. she quite un-
consciously dropped her serviette.
This little accident did not pass un-
noticed. The baldheaded old gentle
man on her left observed the napkin
fall. and, stopping-with no small ef-
fort-sideways, rescued II from the
floor; but in doing 20 happened to
touch the old ladys arm.
Immediately she turned around.
Then. shaking her head, remarked.
In a sweet, gentle voice:

aware that the insurance companies
are heavy gamers as result Of the
Improvements in the Pendleton fire

Pendleton Is entitled to a reduc-

the score Of the new fire department

Darwin was AM
enemy OF religion-not realizing that
nothing that is true is opposed to re-
ligion. That very different view Of
Darwin and his teachings now exists |
is shown by the following from the
New York Evening Post:
Darwin, Science and Evolution"
IS the title Of highly interesting coll
lection OF opinions contributed to the
June Forum by Elmer J. Kneale. To
eminent representatives Of science
and Of the great religious denomina-
tons Mr. Kneale addressed the fol-
owing questions: "Cl) Do you believe
he teachings OF Darwin in their gen.
eral outline remain today as a con-
.ribution to science? C2) Do YOU be-
ieve that majority of intellectual
eaders are today inclined to accept
hese teaehings?" From the nature
'f the replies one might almost sus-
'ect Mr.. Kneale Of setting out with
he intention of proving that there is
IN irreconcilable hostility between sci
;nce and orthodoxy. For of the large
number OF replies he prints. only
hree repudiate Darwin and his teach
ngs, and these are from Cardinal
Farley from the late Patriarch of Con-
'tantinople, and from the Metropoli-
an Of Moscow. Protestant and Jew
sh opinion finds that Darwin's teach
ngs are a persistent force and that
hey contain nothing hostile to religi-
'us faith. Bishop Tuttle of the Pro-
estant Episcopal church declares that
among theologians'' there are many
Who hold that Darwinian theories are
not yet proved to be laws, and Bishop
Quayle of the Methodist Episcopal
church distinguishes between evolu-
ion and Darwinism, evolution being
accepted more generally than before.

start off again, only to stop once
more little further on. The wretch
ed Bill, having had two solid hours
of this, was almost delirious.

keep pulling that horse up for? Are
you scared of it?"
Scared of it-pullin' it up?" an
