ORCHARD WORK IS
To BE ENLARGED
Dr.. Surface Plans One Of the
Biggest Information Bureaus
on Subject in Land
WILL LIST ALL THE TREES
First Work Will Be Started Within
the Next Fortnight by State

WILL LIST ALL THE TREES

State Zoologist H. A. Surface iB
about to inaugurate the most compre-
hensive system of orchard service in
any State in the Union and 1t con-
templates first-hand information not
only about the size and character of
but data regarding the trees and what
pests have afflicted them. Incidentally,
the information will have a CONNER
cial value because 1t will set forth the
varieties of trees and where fruits of
certain brands can be obtained.
The orchard inspectors and demon
strators will start out next week to
collect this data from the orchards
under State observation. These num-
ber approximately 1000. and when
they are finished other orchards will
be taken up. 1t is estimated that of
the $4,000 farmers in the State at
least 10000 have orchards, although
the commercial orchards are compare
lively few in number. In addition to
apples, pears, peaches and other fruits
data will be collected regarding ber-
ries Of various kinds and State SER
vice of gigantic size outlined. This
will enable first-hand information to
be secured at the Capitol regarding
the horticultural interests of the State.
1.-THE work will take several years to
complete, but we think that 1t will go
fast once 1t is started" said DR.. Sur
face. I'VE will endeavor to reach as
many orchard owners as possible by
our men, to reach others by mail, and
there will be many people who will
send us data. I have been in corre-
spondence with many orchard owners
and pepole who buy from them and
they have encouraged the plan. With
this data and the scientific care of
fruit trees which has become the rule
in the State I think we can add thou
sands of dollars to the value of the
fruit crops in Pennsylvania annually
because we will bring them closer to
markets and stimulate careful develop
ment and proper care"

DROPPING THE EFFICIENT
philadelphia Press)


The internal revenue office in this
city is being cleared of Republicans
experienced in the work as rapidly as
circumstances will permit. The theory
is that this is being done by the col
lector on his own initiative, but as a
matter of fact the whole business Is
in the hands of the commissioner of
internal revenue at Washington, who
acts upon the recommendation of
Democratic congressman who are au-
thorized to place the positions in this
service where they will do the most
good. Collectors in some districts
have found that this practice is de-
moralizing the service as it is load
ing upon them many men who do not
know the business and do not indicate
that they have any capacity to learn
it.

WHITE HOUSE PRIMARIES

[From the Mahanoy City Recordl
While the Democracy of the nation

his Administration, there is no dis

culate that 1t is their right to nomi-

in mind. 1t is quite an impossible
thing for any man, or set of men,
whether in Washington, Philadelphia,

candidate upon the Democratic party

against extension Of suffrage. When he
came into office he prosecuted II with
great vigor.
The Socialists and trades unions and
the Social Democrats made steady gains
in numbers and activity in spite OF Gov
eminent opposition. rndeterred by
prison sentences, police spies and in
timidation on the part OF the Govern
ment they thrived and grew powerful.
Men like Bebel and Liebknecht boldly
denounced the Chancellor and his re-
pressive measures in the Reichstag.
Laws of the most stringent nature were
passed and enforced, only to make con-
verts to the cause.
When William II. came into power
his disposition was to modify these
laws. Bismarck advised against this.
Tho Emperor had his way, and the pilot
was dropped. II was not long before
the Socialists were out OF all bounds
politically. The gains they made threat
ened the Government more than once,
and have enabled them to block some of
the Emperor's pet schemes.
In measure the anti-Socialist la VS.
were restored and attacks upon the
Emperor or the Government were
sternly punished as acts OF treason,
As in France and other countries the
Socialists are not wholly united on a
common platform. and within their
ranks is found a wide range of opinion,
from active radiCalism TO n form Of
liberalism which is easily brought to
support Government measures. 1t only
needs reform in the representative
system to put them in complete con-
troll of the Reichstag,
The Government has steadily refused
to redistrict the empire, hence the pop
ulations comprising the various con-
stituencies are grossly unequal. For in
stance, the city OF Berlin. with over
10000 people, Is represented In the
Reichstag by only six members, an
average OF $50, 900 people to each repre-
sentative. while Schnumbcrg- Lippe,
with only 9.S9l. has one member. Other
large cities are similarly treated. In
East Prussia, which Is strongly con-
sentative, there is one member to 49,
900 population. The tendency OF cities
to send Socialist representatives TO the
Reichstag prevents the basis OF repre-
sentation being readjusted.
The increase in population demanded
an outlet Room had TO be provided
for the constantly increasing surplus.
Large numbers went to South America
and elsewhere. but this was not what
the empire wanted. 1t wanted land OF
its own. So colonization began.
Gradually a foothold was secured in
Africa and in The islands between Aus
tralia and Java. Commercial treaty
towns were acquired In China and else
