ORGANIZE TO FIGHT THE FLY

The county demonstration agents in
northern Oklahoma, together with a num-
Der of entomologists and other agricultural
experts recently hello a meeting at Clare
more, Okla, and formulated a campaign to
starve out the Hessian fly in their locality.
This is an excellent method of starting the
work or organizing the farmers to eliminate
the fly, according to the departments spe-
cialists, and by all means should be fol-
lowed throughout the fy-infested territory.
These Oklahoma agents and farmers have
already adopted a specific campaign, which,
in short, is the same as recommended by
the United States department of agricul-
ture, as follows:

Atlanta, Ga.-One Of the most
interesting bills that will be intro
duced at the present session Of the
legislature is that prepared by Col.
Walter P. Andrews, representative
from Fulton county, requiring that
the United States flag be flown dur
ing the school term from the build
ing or grounds Of every school in
Georgia which in any uses state
funds.
The passage of such a measure
would put tie Stars and Stripes
over the University Of Georgia, the
Agricultural college, the public
schools, the rural schools and prac-
tically every school in the state.
Colonel Andrews idea is that the
continual display Of the flag will
help instil principles OF patriotism
into the hearts of the children and
students.
In a recent address before the
Elks Col. Andrews declared that he
believed that all children from
their earliest school training should
be taught to respect and revere the
Stars and Stripes and should have
explained to them the truest and
broadcast Interpretation of the real
meaning Of patriotism.

WHERE INDIRECT

G. L. Stonaker, secretary State Guar
tiles Aid. IN "A letter to the Ne"aih
Evening News writes that 1t s almost
impossible to make desertion crime
In order to make the lives OF New Jer
sey's neglected children less hard. tie
attributes the lack of interest and ef
forts Of the legislators in making sucn
a law TO the fact that wife deSerters
are generally voters and the legislators
are afraid to offend them,
For three years efforts have been
made to secure better law on TINS

fsitment of a deserting husband and
father TO the state prison
The difficulty of securing point OF
view makes our efforts in social legis-
lation so slow of accomplishment. We
,ust cannot get our legislators to I'M
derstand that we are striving to secure
relief and benefits for children. But
children do not have the right to vote
for members Of the assembly and
men do.
A wiilful desertcr and bad citizen
generally has vote, and in some coun
ties where elections are close these
few votes Of the good-for nothings
count for much. Hence legislators
seem TO want not to offend wife desert
ers, and they fear loss Of few votes
il they commit themselves to a vote
upon making desertion OF families

REAL ARGUMENT WANTED.

Apparently unable to answer any
of the real arguments in favor of
woman's suffrage. the ants have
fallen back on quoting the names of
prominent men who have declared
themselves as opposed to votes for
women, just as if the fact that such
men do not believe in extending the
franchise is sufficient reason for any
body else taking such a stand.
The Newark Sunday Call warns
anti-suffrage agitators as to the
stupidity of such an argument as
follows:
We are in receipt of a circular
from the Mems Anti-Suffrage
League of New jersey" proclaiming
that -four distinguished Catholic
prelates oppose women suffrage" "
They are distinguished and they are
prelates, but we do not know why
they should understand the woman
suffrage question even as well as the
ordinary business man. The church
is celibate. The arguments against
suffrage and the influences used al
most incline one to become an adVo-
cate. 1t is not a church question
and not a matter of any personal in
terest or influence whatever. 1t is
simply an issue of widening the
suffrage, so as to get a more COM
plete representation of public senti-
ment. If the opponents continue to
fight with unfair weapons in this
free discussion of a public question
there will be trouble ahead of them.
They are making votes for suffrage.
We beg of them not to be unneces-
sarily stupid.
Votes for women is a question
that every man must settle for him
self, according to his own convic-
tions, and it makes no difference
what stand any prominent man may
take on the question. If the man
himself is convinced that women are
entitled to the ballot, it is his duty
to favor the amendment to the con-
stitution granting them that right.
Real arguments are what the people
want today as the time for the cleo
ton approaches, rather than merely
| the names of men who have thus far
Imade up their minds to oppose the
extension of the franchise.

PUTTING BONDS on MARKl1T.

Before another attempt is made
to sell city bonds there should be
some reasonable assurance that
there will be sufficient bids to dis
pose of the issues The bonds have
been turned down twice becausc 1To
bidders respopd~d 10 the advertise
uosnts a1d it would be a serious blow
to the city to have the third attempt
failure also.
Perth Amboy certainly misses the
experienced hands that have guided
the financial affairs of the city in the
past. It would seem as if some bad
blunders have been made recently
which may help account for our
failure to get bids for our bonds
while other municipalities and coun-
ties are disposing of their bonds
without any difficulty.
It is a dangerous thing for city
when the handling of her finances
is influenced either by politics or
personal feelings The present ad-
ministraton has assumed a grave
responsibility and it is to be hoped
that they will be able to get out of
the difficulty without seriously in
juring the citys prestige.

PLEASING BOTH SIDES.

Former Governor stokes is very
astute politician. He knows when
to say the right thing and Just how
much Of il to say At the ninth an
nnal outing of the Young Mems
Republican League at Atlantic
county a day or two ago, the former
governor, along with Senator Walter
E. Edge, was q speaker. The ma
jority of those present were support
ers of Senator Edge. who. it will be
remembered, has been endorsed by
the Republican organization of
I Atlantic county for any Office that
he may select"
The senator has never said, so far
as the public knows. whether he
prefers to be United States senator
or governor IN the meantime
Carlton Godfrey, speaker OF the
House of Assembly, who also halls
from Atlantic county. has openly
announced his candidacy for the
gubernatorial nomination. 1t Is well
TO be on guard, therefore, in ad-
/ dressing political gatherings in
Atlantic county in order not to make
any breaks.
1t is well known that former
Governor Stokes has ambitions to go
to the United States senate. Natur-
ally he has no desire to offend either
the Godfrey or the Edge factions in
Atlantic. He got over the situation
very gracefully at the outing which
he addressed by saying, Atlantic
county has within its grasp at the
present time the opportunity of
selecting the next governor for the
state of New Jersey"
+ Of course, this sounded good to
the Edge supporters who were pres
ent and they cheered the remarks to
the echo. At the same time 1t would
be impossible for the Godfrey men
to take offense at this statement,
because they, too, believe Atlantic
haA the opportunity OF selecting the
next goyernor. but they think it will
be Speaker Godfrey rather than
Senator Edge In this way our
genial former governor braved the
dangers of the factional fight at
Atlantic, covered himself with
laurels and withdrew without offend
tng either side. 1t take a real poll
tieian with the ability OF a states
man to do that This probably ex-
plains why Mr.. Stokes is still in the
ring while practically all the other
former governors have been plaS.s.
