Insect Activity.

The insect world represents an I'M

number of insect species is greater by
far than Of the species Of all other liv.

more than 100000 have been described,
probably twice that number remain
to be examined. Virtually all living
animals, as well as most plants, supply
food for these incompatible hordes.--

Such views from men who stand
at the top Of two Of the nations, great

cient to controvert the false charges OF
Republican demagogues, that President
Wilson is unfriendly to the interests
of business, even though he works for
the betterment of the conditions OF
labor.
Mr.. Underwood continues:
mo one could fairly accuse Presi-
dent Wilson of playing politics In the
railroad negotiations for an eight-hour
day. l believe ne used his best judg-
ment in doing as he did. He did not
carry the burden Of the railroads or
the claims Of the brotherhoods as his
load; he carried those of the people
Of the United States.

"There can be no honest denial that
many of the Wilson laws have stabil-
lied business The Federal Reserve
Act Is one. The Rural Credits Act Is
another. The passage Of the Child
Labor Law was humane and intelli-
gent. The Tariff Commission was a
common-sense, much-needed accom-.

An Address Worthy Of Lincoln.

Speaking of Lincoln. the speech Of
President Wilson, accepting Lincoln's
birthplace for the Nation, is a classic
that will rank with Lincoln's own Get
tysburg Address and his Second 1nau-
gural. 1t will be one of the gems of the
school readers of our children's chill

be in the memories and the hearts and
