Democratic Doings in Augusta

Especial Correspondence of The Journal
AUGUSTA, Jan. %, 1915. A census of
unemployed Democrats ought to be TAX
en-. There is an army of them. Pri-
Yates, corporals, sergeants. and even
brigadier generals of the party, have
thronged the corridors of the State
House. Proudly they recount their val
liant political exploits.
They show the scars of battle as evil
dence that pension should be theirs.
Haggard with the hunger for office they
have gazed hopefully through depart
mental doors, AS Secretary VIM. j.
Bryan wrote to the receiver of customs
at Santo Domingo, there are a great
many deserving Democrats. Slowly and
painfully it is becoming impressed on the
minds of the hungry horde that the
Democratic party of Maine really con-
sists of only about half dozen men. No
body can get job unless it is handed
out from their platter.
The motor of the steam roller is be-
ginning to chug. After the official life
of about score of Republicans has been
crushed out the Democrats who fought
in the trenches will be fiattened out on
the road bed over which the successful
will march in triumph.
Not much is heard now about the Pro.
gressive members. The Democrats have
no further use for them. If they vote
with the Republicans it will avail moth.
ing, because the Democrats have major,
ity over all in the House. There is some
speculation as to what will be the fate OF
certain Progressive clergyman of this
city. He is said to be a candidate fol-
State Librarian. Whether he will heal
from the Democrats the welcome plaudit
"Well, done thou good and faithful ser.
vant," or whether he will sit in outer
darkness remains to be seen.
The Democrats have introduced bill
to abolish the primary law. Some
changes may be made in this law, but
it is not likely, to be repealed. A bill
has been introduced to adopt the Massa
chusett's method of voting. Two Work
mems Compensation bills have beer
nitro duced. and more are coming. A
passage of some sort of Workman's
Compensation LAWS to be expected. Mex
week the Legislators will get down tt
business.

FOR SALE AT YOUR CROCERS

waking up, will be heard to roar like the
crashing of the elements around sum-
mits of eternal snow. We dread the an
ticipation, but all the great storms of
human history have resulted in clearer
and serener days. The passing of an
age like ours cannot be without cata.
clysms. The age succeeding should have
fairer skies, clearer vision, juster rela-
tons, purer motive, simpler manner of

much chastisement, if we take warning
from what is now Transporting in the

Gypsy and-Brown-tail Moths
Decreasing.

I -
Satisfactory Progress In the, Fight Against
These Pests Reported by the the Bureau
Of Entomology. !.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. rs, 1915. A
marked decrease in the number of both
the gypsy and browtail moths is declar-
ed by the Bureau of Entomology of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture to
have taken place in the period covered
by the report, recently published. of it's
work for the year ending June 80, 1914.
This has been largely brought about by
the wilt disease and the parasites and
other natural enemies of. these pests,
which have been introduced to fight
them.
In New England extensive scouting
work around the borders of the infested
region has resulted in the discovery of
the existence of the gypsy moth in
81 new towns in Maine, 8 in New
Hampshire, 7 in Massachusetts, II in
Rhode Island and II in Connecticut.
On the other hand, eight towns inside the
infested area were found to be quite
free. Several isolated colonies in Green
field, Mass, appear to have been exter-
minated, and in the region around Len
OK, Stockbridge and Great harrington
the moths have also been almost elimi-
mated. This is also true of the isolated
| Pnlnpyy OF Woll,,,rfarl A. Sto,,
lngton few egg clusters were found,
and the Connecticut authorities are in
charge of work there.
In New York colony at Geneva ap-
parently has been exterminated, and a
colony found on a private estate at
Mount Kisco is now being stamped out
with the cooperation of the New York
authorities. The report calls attention,
however, to the need for laws in other
States similar in character to that of
Massachusetts, which provides that each
municipality must do its share toward
controlling the moths
The browntal moth situation is said to
be even better. The severe winter has
aided the browntail moth fungus disease
and the imported parasites in bringing
about an enormous decrease in the num-
bers of this pest. In the northern part
of the infested region in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, the decrease
is especially noticeable. On the other
hand some browntail moth nests have
been found on the eastern end of Long
Island.
The inspection of all forest products
and nursery stock moved from infested
regions to other parts of the United
States is declared to have prevented the
establishment of many colonies in wide
ly separated localities. In 1905 ship
ments which have been inspected, d. 53
specimens of the gypsy moth and ], 404
specimens of the browtail moth have
been destroyed. 1t is claimed that if
this work had been begun years before,
the small colonies in New York, Ohio
and the Berkshire region in Massachu-
sets would not have become established.
In addition to the quaratine work, sci
entific experiments and Investigations
have been carried onwith the object of Sc
curing more exact information about the
food habits of these moths in order to
discover new ways of eXterminating
them.

Mr.. Bryan as Spokesman.

In his letter to Mr.. Wick Mr.. Bryan
reveals himself a sportsman of the same
stripe as Mr.. Charles F. Murphy and Mr..
Roger G. Sullivan. The only persons who
will be at all surprised by the revelation
are those who have been taking him at
his own estimate of himself shining
through SNUG profession of political
righteousness while Chautauquacking.
The fact is that Mr.. Bryan's main
business as Secretary of State has been
job hunting for his henchmen, always
with preference for those who were true
to the ''sacred ratio" in 1896. New

The Shoe Situation.

Quite few footwear factories are now
running close to normal capacity and the
outlook is more encouraging than for
some time past. More business has been
received for spring goods, and, contrary
to the experience Of recent years, orders
are expected to be placed before buyers
visiting the eastern market make their
departure. Numerous inquiries continue
to come forward from European govern
ments for army shoes, and some reports
state that Binghamton, N. Y, concern
has taken contracts from France for half
a million pairs. -Dun's Review, Jan. 23d.

His friends trembled for his life. That
