CONTROLLING PLANT DISEASES

ii becoming highly efficient IN conquerlng new
plant diseases. The potato wart is destruc-
tive malady attacking potatoes in Europe, and
heretofore no means has been known for eradi-
eating it from the soil, once garden or field
becomes infected
A little more than year ago the potato wart
was discovered in some garden patches in Penn
sylvania and West Virginia. The plant disease
experts began Immediately the work of eradica-
ton They visited the infected regions and
through their energetic efforts the disease has
been kept within bounds until means could be
devised for successfully combating it. This
has been accomplished, according to informa
ton given out at a recent conference of officials
from Pennsylvania and West Virginia with the
federal horticultural board. The experts have
discovered method of thoroughly disinfecting
the soil. By planting these immune varieties
and disinfecting the few infested areas, it is
believed that the potato wart, which uncontroll-
ed would undoubtedly have brought great loss
to the potato industry in this country, will soon
be completely eradicated

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.

A Mr.. Bryan steps out of obscurity with the
question if creditors are not now paying their
debts with cheap gold dollar worth five cents
less than the bullion value of the silver dollar
BIT it is not cheap gold dollar, but a paper
Dollar in Europe and credit dollar in America
which have practically driven gold from circu-
.ation and put the world upon paper basis.
Opinion is crystallizing that initiation of cur
rency and general scarcity of goods working
together explain the high prices which are dis
.ressng most of the world. The British gov
sr1lment by an output of currency notes for
which gold cannot be demanded inflated its eur.
fency two or three times greater than it was be-
!, fore the war. In a little different way America
. has increased her circulating medium by over
seventy per cent The inevitable result of
sharpening money is that it is spent more free
y, reckessly, and more of it is used in the trans
/, actions of men When to this is added the ac.
tual shortage of goods, we have trying situa-
! ion which two things only, production of goods
Ind contraction of currency, can correct

Many Man Was Panic Stricken al
Meals Before He Tried Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

a lump of lead in the stomach and
such distresses make one ponder as
to the advisability of starving. But
that is a wrong method. A better
and safer plan is to be regular at
meals. eat what is served or what is
fastest, and follow the meal with a
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet. 1t is bad
practice for most people to go against
nature by depriving the system of
what it must haye,-food, to keep
going. Once you learn how you may
eat without stint or fear by using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, there is
little likelihood of your ever joining
either that mournful band of starva
tionists or any other disjointed and
out-of-tune company. Get box OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at any
drug store in the United States and
Canada and thus eat and be merry.

Real Freedom Of Employment.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
/ note the assembly of the presi
dents OF labor unions in Washington
on December 18th affiliated with the
American Federation OF Labor and
their oppositions to the antl-strire
provisions OF the Cummins railroad
bill.
Now there is one thing certain:
the constitution and laws OF this
country are being weighed on the
scales of the strikers, and the presi-
dents proposed settlement Of the coal
strike is result of compromise Of
the people Of the United States with
the combinations OF labor unions.
This is most certainly a letting down
of the bars OF our great constitutional
safeguards and denial of the equal
protection of the laws"
My idea is to limit labor unions to
their own immediate employers, and
to make such combinations and sym
pathetic strikes Illegal and forbid
consolidation or combinations of the
respective unions. Why should the
combinations be formed simply 70
regulate the price OF labor? They
most certainly violate the Sherman
antitrust law. There will be no
trouble in the employer and employe
getting along together ii they are let
alone as their interests are mutual.
and II they cannot agree let each one
go his way. In fact every emproye
can quit singly or in numbers and

IN DEFENSE OF THE HORSE.

/ horse lover asserts that the general shift
ing from the use of horses as power units to
Uasclanical power units is having a far-reaching
eject Apon oZlr national life. The larger de-
waz3 for motor power requires the use of more
human labor In iron and coal mines, and Ia the
facteries where the motor propelled machines
are manufactured and assembled. This is
drawing heavily upon our existing supply OF
human labor, calls more men from farms to
cities, mines and factories, and cnrtails the pro-
duction of other things that are useful to the
world, which might have been made with the
labor devoted to making motor power units de-
signed to do the work the horse can do. Any
displacement of horses in agriculture and COM
merce, this horse lover argues, increases the
burden on human labor, and ON cost of produc-
ton. We are apt to conclude, when we see one
man driving tractor pulling two plows In the
place of man driving team hitched to one
pillow, that the tractor is a saver of human labor,
but we fail to go back to the mine, the mill and
the factory and take into consideration all the
labor that goes into the making of the machine
and keeping it In repair, while the horse is re-
productive animal capable, as millions have
done, of doing good work for ten or twelve years
without the expenditure of one cent for repairs,
beyond the cost of shoes and harness.
The gasoline propelled power unit has come
to stay. Under present conditions it is neces-
sity. We probably shall never go back to horse
power; but it is evident that those who looked
for the development of mechanical tractor
power and its widespread use to reduce the cost
CT production are far from having their expecta-
tons realized. Considering all the factors that
enter the manufacture of mechanical power
units and the breeding and development of
horses, there are good grounds for the assertion,
says the advocate of equine efficiency, that the
horse is the most economical power unit In the

A MINSTREL OF TRANSITION.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

FEW days ago the press dispatches carried
an account of the passing OF George Primrose, one
of the old time mnstrels of America, who made
blackface minstrelsy popular and profitable Those
who are 1agging superfuously upon the scene," and
many who are not yet'superhous, can recall great
galaxy of negro minstres who were known from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and drew crowded houses;
and among the latter OF that generation was George
Primrose, Billy West and Dave Wambold, who made
famous the great aggregation known as Primrose,
West & Wambofs MinStrels.
A little earlier than the trio named were Billy
Emerson, Charley Reed and Billy Manning; while
still antedating them were Joe Murphy, Ben Cotton
and number Of others whose names have slipped
the memory of the editor; and away back beyond
them, even antedating the Civil War, was an ag-

comes through the mists of years. refreshing to the
heart and reiuvinating to the mind; and back OF all
were the old original Christy Minstres, contempor-
aneous with the birth of the editor, who made IA
NOUS long forgotten list of melodies, OF which but
one is recalled: Jump Jim Crow"
All of those men, and many more whose names
cannot be recalled, were men of genius and bril-

songs both words and music, coined the sclntllant
