WORK OF A SCHOOLGIRL
For years have read the Chicago
American and have taken the state
ments made by Mr.. Hearst seasoned
with a carload of salt. But of all the
misshapen statements, of all the
half-truths he has presented to the
public in his editorials, the one on
the Socialistic motto, "To the work
ers all they produce" looks like the
work of a schoolboy.
The question he asks as to how
shall be decided what each person
really produces can be answered
very quickly, and even should we be
unable to figure out that end of it
we would still be left with a residue
Of facts proving that the worker gets
only a small percentage of what he
produces.
Hearst's. semi-socialistic, vote
gathering editorials should be looked
at by every man as a means for hold
ing "a foot on both sides of the
fence" Presenting a statement of
facts such as he has in the Sept
editorial is an example of this, letting
! the working class think he is pulling
for them and still keeping on the
right side of the money interests.

resented an abnormal rate Of feeding.
Last summer the larva Of Surplus
nitens was observed while feeding
normally on the large aphids Ptero-
comma fiocculosa. During q period OF
twenty minutes. twenty-one apnids
were caught and destroyed. The larva
had not been kept away from food nor
were the aphids supplied for 1t or the
process in any way hurried or arti-
fetal.
How much longer feeding at this rate
may continue or how frequently such
periods Of rapid feeding may succeed
each other, observations have not yet
shown. However. 1t seems certain that
the number Of aphids destroyed by q
single specimen during it's larval ex-
istence Of one or two weeks or longer
must be very considerable.
Particularly when we consider the
enormous numbers Of progeny which
may be prevented from developing by
the destruction Of even a single aganic
female. the value Of these agricultural
benefactors may be more correctly
judged. A point Of great Importance
in this respect is that the Flower-fiies
infest the aphid colonies very early in
the establishment Of the latter; indeed,
sometimes the Syrphid eggs are re-
posted on a plant in advance of its in
festation by the aphids; so that nu-
merous voracious larvae may be await

mother anG her progeny.

Speculation as
to Mr.. Milliken's
Attitude Toward
Naming Judges

Portland Me-, Dec. 17.-Governor-eiect
Carl e. Milliken will have at least two
appointments to make to the bench Of the
supreme court of Maine during his term
of Office, for the seven-year terms of AS
sociate Justices George F. Haley Of Saco
and George H. hanson Of Calais expire
on April IL. 1918, and July rs, 1918, respec-
lively.
Both of the justices whose terms expire
are Democrats and Governor-elect Mill
ken is Republican, but he is known to
hold very strong views against the APP
pointment of justices of the supreme
court for purely political reasons In the
course of his campaign he criticized Gov
ernor Curtis severely for failing to reap
point Justice Albert NJ. Spear Of Gardine:,
because Judge Spear was Republican.
While nothing is known definitely con-
corning Mr.. Millken's attitude in the
matters of these appointments, it is the
matter of general gossip that probably at
least one of the Democratic judges will
be reappointed and that Judge Spear will
be reappointed to the bench to take the
place of the other one. General rumor
has it that Justice Hanson will very prob
ably be reappointed, but that Justice Ha-
ley may have to relinquish his place to
Judge Spear. All this. of course, is mere
talk. for the appointments are still year
and a half away and Mr.. Milliken has
not made known his intentions.
The terms of the two superior court
justices. Judge Joseph E. F. Connolly Of
the Cumberland county superior court and
Judge Fred Emery Beane Of the Kenne-
bee county superior court. also expire in
1918 during Governor Milliken's term and
both are Democrats. Some Of the Repub-
lican lawyers in Portland. it is rumoreo
at the proper time will start petition
for Judge Connolly's retention on the
bench, but on the other hand 1t is rumor-
ed that there may be some opposition to
the appointment. These appointments. like
those Of the supreme court justices, are
still far in the future.
