II is pointed out In some circles
that the delay OF the administration
In sending 10 Vera Cruz the ships
which Commander McNamee asked
for was due TO a belief in Washing
ton that the administration thought
there was no need OF them. We
can easily believe that this was in
fact the real reason for not sending
the ships-because this administra-
ton thinks It always knows more
about anything than anyone else
possibly can konw. Commander Nc
Nance was on the Job down at
Vera Cruz-but OF course Mr.. Dan

FUNGUS KILLS GRAssHoPPERs
No Danger In Feeding The Hay To
Stock

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 31.-In
many districts over the state the
grasshoppers have been dying from
the attack of a fungus disease. The
deceased grasshoppers, just before
dying, crawl upon the plants. They
turn dark in color and cling tenac-
iously to the plant.
Will it be safe to feed the hay.
upon which thousands of grasshop-
pers are fastened, to the livestock,
is one of the questions which the
farmers are asking of George A.
Dean, professor of entomology in
the State Agricultural college.
There is practically no danger
v batever in feeding this hay, be-
lieves Professor Dean. As far as is
known 1t is not a poisonous fungus
which is killing the grasshoppers.
The cutting, curing, and handling
Of the hay before feeding tends to

EURoPE's DUMPING GROUND

That America will be a great
dumping ground for European pro-
ducts Immediately following the de-
claration of peace, ID the opinion of
Robert Grimshaw, consulting engi-
neer and lecturer in New York Uni
yersity. Mr.. Grimshaw returned
from Germany a few months ago,
where he familiarised himself tho
roughly with conditions in that
country. He declares that after
the war there will be in Germany
alone at least 100000 men who
will return home and find that they
have no Jobs. He believes that
these men will be put to work at
about so cents a day and that the
product of their hands is going to
be dumped in America. Mr.. Grim
shaw states that by no means all
the industrial population of Ger
many are engaged in the manufac-
ture of products consumed in war
maneuvers. Mountains of manu-
features are being turned out and
stored until such time as the seas
will be open to German commerce,
when they win be dumped in the
United States.

GOOD ROADS AND CONGRESS

The democratic congress is re-
sponsible for a heavy loss, both OF
money and efficiency, in the work
of the office of public roads.
Three important phases of good
road development practically had
to be abandoned for a year because
the democrats failed to pass before
the close of the fiscal year of 1918,
the Agricultural Appropriation bill.
which provides money for good
roads.
The first loss fell upon the ex-
perimental work. A portion OF
each years appropriation is devot-
ed to experimental road building
in and near Washington, in order
to make scientific tests and discov-
er improved methods in road con-
struction. The officials could not
carry out these tests properly. The
delay in securing the appropria-
tions caused an estimated loss Of
about one-tenth of the fund, with
an even greater loss in efficiency
because many of the experiments
could not be made at all.
The second loss occurred because
officials were unable to contract
for new work until the money was
n
Inn in good road building that all
work undertaken must be compIet-
ed In the same summer. Congress
Jailed to appropriate the money un-

a syndicate basis. Their industries
will be more centrally controlled.
They must get on their feet as soon
'as possible, Foreign trade will be
needed more than ever and It must
DO secured at the least possible ex-
pense." This is statement made in
the Manufacturers News by a West
ern man who stands high in the
business world. Mr.. j. Pierpont
Morgan, Jr.. recently returned from
abroad, declares that the European
war can not last more than a year
longer. Considering these two

MIR. PERKINS PLAN.

George w. Perkins was the promi-
nent figure at recent meeting OF
New York Progressive leaders at AL
bany. There were twenty-nine men
present-which, for a statewide
meeting, is not impressive. Mr..
Perkins made a speech, in which re-
gard he is becoming almost as fam
Gus as Mr.. Bryan. His remarks
we're directed toward picturing the
state of the country when the Euro
pean war is over. Then, he said,
Europe would be able, thanks to the
Wilson tariff, to flood this country
with the products of cheap labor and
great Industrial depression would
follow.
In order to avert this dire re-
suit, Mr.. Perkins advocated Con-
tinuance of the Progressive party
with a full set of candidates, and
he severely chided any and all Pro-
gressives who should have the
temerity to suggest reunion with the
Republicans. The Progressive party.
he said, is the only one that offers
plan which looks to preparing
this country to fight the battles Of
the industrial marts in case Of peace
and the battles of guns and men in
30 - All NJ which Ia
pretty-and very perplexing.
Suppose that the Progressive
party has "the only plan" Will Mr..
Perkins be good enough to point out
how the Progressive party can put
that plan into operation? The Pro-
gressive party, at the top of its
stride in 1912, could not carry the
country then. The Progressive
party is now, to quote the words of
an earlier orator than Mr.. Perkins,
'discordant, belligerent, discover
cd" How, then, can it carry the
country now?
The only thing the Progressive
party can possibly accomplish now
by its continuance with "the only |
plan" is to perpetuate the tariff for
which "the only plan" is remedy.
We doubt II the Progressive party
ran accomplish even that, despite
Mr.. Perkins oratory. But IL the !,
Progressive party sincerely wishes
TO do anything beneficial with "the
only plan" we invite Mr.. Perkins,
and such of the party as are left, to
come back into Republican ranks,
bringing "the only plan" with them.
Il the plan is a good one, the Re-
,ublicans will make use of it.

An Abilene man has gone for his
vacation which he will spend in En-
poria and Chanute. How great is
the wisdom of his course! He
might have gone off to San Diego
and San Francisco, or to Niagara
Falls and Boston, or to New Orleans
and Galveston, in which case he
would have seen only a lot of
strange folks and spent all his years
savings. In Emporia he can gaze on
the beautiful damsels who attend
the normal, he can see Walt Mason's
new house and maybe catch a
glimpse of the poet earning SIS a
minute composing war poems. He
may even see Bill White, effulgent
and salubrious, not to mention
viewing the only postmaster in Kan
sas who wears whiskers. At Cha
mute he can look up Herb. Caveness,
the handsomest bachelor editor in
captivity; soak his nostrils in smells
of gas and oil and be edited by the
chaste decorations of the city hall.
He will come back with most OF his
money, rejuvenated and inspired to
better things. Verify, that is the
way to take a vacation.

that there was job open and being

No MORE TIN BRIDGES

AS a result OF the storms this

will have to replace many small
bridges Of the county. II is to be
hoped that they will not replace any
iron bridges but will make every
new bridge of cement that will stay
when streams come up and be
permanent bridge no matter what
happens. The day of the tin bridge
has passed. 1t is constant source
Of trouble and expense and the cost
of the cement bridge is but little
more. In the end 1t is cheaper. We

would be glad to see every small
