That Bad Little Bug.

Since coming to this county
we have, from time to time, at
tempted to tell the people whar
they had coming to them from
the boil weevil. Some few, nc
doubt, havh needed the warning
and have. to some extent WE
hope, protited by our knowledge
of this particular little bug.
But this is no time. had we the
desire to do so, to say, II tolo
you So" We want rather to put
the people on their guard that
they may know what to expect
hereafter.
Whatever you may think, you
he he weevil for keeps. There
" more or less of these bugs
hi very year from this time
OIL md we are going to tell
yol )mething else. You have
not It seen the weevil at his
hes, r rather his worst. The
next year that we have a late
fall and that followed by a sea-
sonable June and July, he will
be here more numerous than
this year and will do your cotton
more damage.
Now, there is no use to be-
come discouraged. Cotton is
always to play an important part
in the money crops of this Sec
ton, and you are going right on
raisingit. But you must not ex-
pect to do this on so large q
scale as heretofore. In other
words, you must make the great
er part of your living at home
and make cotton a surplus or
all money crop. You can do
this, and it were better had you
been doing so all these years.
But don't get the notion into
your head that the weevil is a
blessing in disguise. He is a
curse. He is an enemy now,
always has been an enemy, and
will continue to be an enemy,
one that you must fight with the
same tenacity with which you
have fought grass and other en-
emies to the production of, cot
ton.
Now for the fight. Remem-
Der, "A chain is just as strong
as its weakest link" Do all the
the things necessary, and do
them in time. Here they are:
Pick your cotton as fast as it
and destroy the stalks as
soon as the cotton is picked. 1t
makes no difference how they
are destroyed so it is effectually
done, and done early. Don't
count on a top crop any year.
Plant only fertile land to cot
ton, and have this well prepared
make a perfect seed bed as
nearly as is reasonably possible.
Plant an early maturing varie-
ty. Plant early but not until
spring opens. Remember cotton
iates from the working not from
the planting. May cotton is
hopeless.
AS soon asthe cotton is chopped, |
begin to fight the weevil proper. |
10 around in the field next woods,
hedges, lenses, houses, trees,
'tumps, and other places where
! weevil might have spent the
winter, look in the bud of the
'otton for him and catch all you
an. When squares begin to
0 fall pick and burn all that
how signs of damage. This is

Coast to Coast Freight Rates.

The Interstate Commerce commission has
just promulgated another OF its series Of ORDERS
dealing with freight rates between Atlantic and
Pacific terminals, and on basis that is certain to
engender much of dispute, some confusion, and
no especial satisfaction beyond what may be de-
rived from the thought that it is another step
towards the ultimate order that will put freight
rates finally on stable and equitable basis. The
order is to the railroads to raise their coast-to-
coast rates so that they will be on parity with
rates to intermediate points. 1t is made because
ocean competition does not for the moment exist,
and because lowering of intermediate rates had
already been denied. Objection on part Of the
shippers will lie because the order does not bring
any relief to intermediate points, other than that
Pacific coast jobbers will now be deprived Of
something of an advantage they have hitherto
enjoyed. For the railroads it was objected be-
fore the commission that the ocean freight situa-
ton is temporary in its character and should not
be made the basis for an enduring order. In
both OF these objections is found merit, and both
must be given further consideration before the
question may be set aside as disposed of. 1t has
the single recommending quality noted, that it
indicates purpose on part Of the Interstate Com
merce commission to deal fully with the whole
transcontinental rate question on basis Of JUS
tice to railroads and shippers alike.

Bankruptcy Graft.

Omaha, June 26.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Your comment on the way the bank
ruptcy law is administered is not only timely,
but is also very well directed. Business men
have watched with growing concern the
steadily diminishing returns from bankrupt
estates, due to the inordnate expense of
administering them.
The most directly contributing cause of
this is the delay in settling up the affairs
of the insolvent concern. Instead of pro-
ceeding with dispatch TO determine the value
Of the assets and to adjudicate claims, and
then make the division among the creditors,
promptly disposing of the affair and setting
all parties to the proceeding where they
know just what is what, the practice has
been to litigate rather than to arbitrate, to
delay instead of expedting, and accruing
costs eat up considerable sums that must
be taken from the creditor rather than the
debtor. This. I take it. Is exactly contrary
to the purpose of the law, which was de-
signed to protect honest debtor as well as
creditor, and to secure speedy adjustment
of insolvency whenever it occurs. to the
end that legitimate business be benefited.
In our business we find rsore of annoy
ance in having assets indefinitely tied up in
court proceedings than in the loss incurred
through failure of a customer. We can
make some provision of insurance against
possible loss incident to customers in
solvency, but we have no protection against
the cost of winding up his affairs under the
present custom. Proceedings in bankruptcy
can be speeded up, and thus made less ex-
pensive to those who must pay in the end.

Hughes Plain and Emphatic.

Mr.. Hughes telegram to the bull moose COM
mittee and his letter to Colonel Roosevelt are
notable contributions to the literature of the CAM
paign, which is being so vigorously opened at this
early day. The language of the telegram is espe-
cally plain and emphatic and clearly outlines the
basis for the argument against continuing the
present administration. Mr.. Hughes well sets
forth that patriotic support of the president in his
efforts to cxtricate himself from serious pre-
dicament into which He has manuevered himself
and his country is not to be interpreted as APP
prevail of the policy that has ended so disas-
trously. His phrase, weakness and ncerttude,"
patty describes the Wilson administration both
at home and abroad.
In this connection Mr.. Hughes touches on the
deplorable muddle into which the affairs of the
nation have drifted because of failure to fully
realize and firmly deal with contributing causes
as events developed. No uncertainty as to the
attitude of the republican nominee will be found
in his utterance. He plainly. and without bonn
bast, tells where he stands; his public record is
the best possible guaranty as to what may be ex-
pected from him in the way Of keeping promises.
In no campaign of the country's history have
the issues been more plainly marked, nor were
they ever more important, than at present. Nor
can they be evaded or obscured by democratic
buster or fustian. The Wilson regime has been
tried, and has been found wanting, and he will be
replaced by man who is capable Of governing.

Making Up the Issue.

David Starr Jordan asks the president not to
make the Carriza incident pretext for war,
and suggests that the issue be made up on other
matters. In this the historian speaks for the flu
ture. A mere Obscure clash Of irresponsible
troops" as DR.. Jordan characterizes the affair,
is not sufficient reason in itself to plunge the ma
ton into war Back Of this, however, lies justi-
hcation found in innumerable afronts, violations
of international comfy, outrage of our national
dignity, breaches OF faith, and the establishment
OF an ever present danger to citizens in their
homes, enough to warrant war many times over.
If we have war Carrizal will be to the present
situation what the sinking of the Maine was to the
Spanish war; the spark that touched off the pile.
The popular mind will not occupy itself to any
great extent with the basic cause for this or any
other conflict, but it will eagerly seize some Incl
dent that excites the imagination or appeals to
the surface emotions. Columbus and Carrizal will
serve quite as we'll as any, and the people will
press on to the settlement of the controversy,
while the learned doctors deal with the funda-
mentals.

Woes Of the War Experts.

The course OF the conflict in Europe is very
perplexing for the military" experts, who daily
prognosticate future operations after a post-mor-
TEN analysis Of recorded movements The fate
of armies and nations is patiently expounded by
these prophets, who OBVIOUSLY dope out the future
and settle for the moment at least great prob
lens of strategy and tactics. The difficulty SO
far has been that neither side to the war has
paid great deal of attention to the plans laid in
American newspaper Offices, but have gone on
furnishing one surprise after another The stu
dent of war in the future will find much to &C.
eupy his serious attention in the real maneuvers
of today, which comprise the operation of armies
on magnificent scale, with a combination of
old and new methods that is most engaging to
the professional, For the present the amateur
warriors may esteem themselves highly, and con-
