Birds VS.. Bugs Mans Problem.

From the Grand Rapids Herald
Among the geological articles in the
Smithsonian Annual Report is one on
the value of birds to man, in which the
author, James auckland, of London,
makes the astonishing statement that
although man imagines himself the
dominant power of the earth, he is
nothing of the sort; the true lords of
the universe being the insects For al
though man has attained predominsnce
over the most fierce and powerful ami.
mails and most deadly reptiles, he and
his works would be of little avail before
an attack of insects. which include q
greater number of species than all other
living creatures combined. Some 300,.
600 species have been described, while
possibly twice that number still remain
unknown.
The author says that these incompat-
;ble hordes feed nearly all living ami.
mails and practically all plants, and
multiply into prodigious numbers in an
incredible short time. Computations
al ow that one species developing 10
generations year, would, II unchecked
TO the twelfth generation, multiply to
10 sextillions of individuals; while q
single pair of the well-known gypsy
moths, IL unchecked. would produce In

TARIFF LEADING
ISSUE In 1915

John Hays Hammond Asserts Pro-
lection is vindic ated bv the War.
Milwaukee, March S.-'There can be
no doubt that on this one great economic
issue-ths tariff --the Republican party
can rely for victory in 1916" said John
Hays Hammond in addressing meet
ing of Republicans of Wisconsin who
were assembled here for the purpose of
inaugurating a movement toward party
unity in the coming campaign. He
said:
"The great economic lesson of this
war is the complete vindication of the
Republican protective tariff, and it i'm
presses on us the fact that our fiscal
legislation must be ever to keep unim
paired the absorptive power and the
purchasing power of our Incompatible
market which consumes the products Of
American labor, amounting to more
than twice the total export trade of all
the nations of the world
ITO compete successfully with foreign
nations We must secure for ourselves
any advantage that can be derived for
the most efficient exploitation of our
national industries, fostered by con-
structive legislation at home and pro
NOTED by able commercial diplomacy
abroad. We must guarantee TO our
citizens the same degree of protection
as to life and property accorded to citi'
zens of other nations by their govern
ments.
The pusillanimity of our state de-
partment in this respect is too we'll
known to need further criticism. 1t is
true that sop was thrown out to pub
lie sentiment by the Democratic ad.
ministratlon in a measure to establish
q government controlled merchant ma
rine. but the bill advocated by the ad-
ministrstion was so meretricious that
it failed to pass despite the exercise of
every kind of undue influence on the
part of President Wilson.
"While I feel confident of the Re.
publican victory in 1916, nevertheless
the victory must be overwhelming in
order to assure carrying both houses of
congress, so az to be able to redeem the
pledges of our platform. And there
fore, it is the paramount duty of the
leaders of the Republican party to bring
back to the fold our friends who parted
company from us for while, but are
now ready to march with US against
the common enemy.
1--WE and they have learned that a
third party inevitably spells Demo
cratic victory, and, therefore, patriot
ism and self-interest, as well should
dictate and will, am sure, avail to
convince them that we must all subor.
dinate the minor political differences
that have kept US apart, uniting again
for the trump of that cause which we
all believe is consecrated to the welfare
of the nation.
II belieye.the Progressive, or third,
party will sssuredly come back to the
Republican party in the coming cam.
paign."
