BOIL WEEVlL ECCENTRlCl
TIES.

In the Commercial Appeals cur.
rent summary of cotton conditions
the report from Tate county reads:
The weather has been favorable,
dry and hot. There is much com.
plant Of boil weevil. especially in
the eastern portion of the county.
Some fields of cotton have been
plswed up and planted in corn on
account Of the appearance of the
weevil. The greatest menace to
the crop now Is the boil weevil.
Tate is In northwestern Missis-
sippi. adjoining Tunica on the
west, and with only De Soto be-
tween it and the Tennessee line.
The boil weevil has not been de-
structive in that section before.
The same remark applies to I.afa-
yette county. in the section, where
many weevils are reported.
Corinth, only six miles from the
Tennessee line. reports that some
fear, is expressed of the boil wee
vii. In Pontotoc. another north.
eastern county. it is generally
conceded much of a small crop will
be damaged badly by the boil wee.
viii" On the other hand. in south
Mississippi there is a consensus of
reports of a boil weevil scarcity.
From Brook haven the reporter says
1T is the exception to hear of a
boil weevil." mot so bad this
year as last" is the storo from
Hazelhurst. The weevil is now
making its appearance in Wayne
county" August will be test OF
the significance of the apparent
contradictions of the boil weevil

TRAITORS IN THE UNITED
STATES SENATE.

The United States is afflicted just
now with a large number of Ger
man spies and American traitors.
and it is very unfortunate that a
few of the last named occupy seats
in :he United States Senate.
Every since the beginning of the
war-and even before a small
bunch of men in the House Of Con-
gress have been fighting the Gsv-
ernment as hard as any GerUaA
could wish to do.
They fought conscription.
They are trying to block it even
now.
They fought. and are still fight
ing the food control bill.
They are fighting the draft fol
an aviation corps.
1t is a pity that these men can
not be shipped to the German
trenches in Belgium. They could
do this country less harm there
thanlin the Senate.
We sent a commission to Russia
to tell that country what to do.
The events of the past two week!
prove that Russia is alright. Th'
people of that country eau ant
will fight.

his personal view of the matter.
He has written a letter to the At
torney General at Washington
asking for an Interpretation OF this
phrase of the statute and is now
awaiting an answer.
Mr.. Georges personal opinion

Now they should send some OF
their Nihilists over here and re-
remove some of our Senators. and
then maybe in the course of year
or so the United States would be
able to raise. equip and put in the
field an army which would conf
mand the respect of other nations.
If the Government would follow
the lead of some of its Senators
the United States would be the
laughing stock of the world.
The soldiers of of the other war
ing nations are said 10 be very
rude to their enemies. They shoot
and cut and stick with bayonets.
Their air men try to kill each
other. But in this country there
are men who seem to believe that
war can be won without fighting
and that no one should fight who
does not want to.
1t wonld have been an awful
thing if this country should have
been plunged into war with Ger
many without the protection of
the navies of England and France
to keep the Germans out of this,
country. for the enemy would
have taken all of our large sea
ports before one bill could have
been passed through the Seuate.

Noting the material decrease in
the total of convicts on the state
farms, said to be less than in many
years, the Neshoba Democrat says:
Is crime on the decrease? Are
we becoming more law-abiding?
Our opinion is this decrease OF
crime is traceable to our stringent
liquor laws. For the past year the
supply was reduced to quart every
fifteen days and it was not hard
for the observant man to see the
good effects. Now we have the
quart cut ouf and even better re.
suits should be seen. If our legis-
lators will get busy and by some
law do away with the pistol our
jails will stay empty and the state
can divide up the big Parchman
farm into forty acre tracts and sell
it for private farms.
This fact incidental repetition of
our frequent contention: That the
chief benr6ciaries of stringent
liquor laws" and their stringent
enforcement. were the negro farm
tenants. There is not good citi-
zen in the state to whom this evil
dence of the decrease in crime and
convicts does not appeal favorably.
1t would be we'll if the Legislator
would do away with the pistol. 4"
But in The Herald's judgment
there is quite enough of laval

tide is the enforcement Of the law

Nor is yet enforcement of the
