Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The personality, character and abilities of Thomas Riley Marshall have digned the office of Vice-Pres ident in an unusual His simplicity sincerity, boise, discretion and loyalty to the traditions and ful public attention and interest. When he speaks to the people he usually has something worth while to say. In his address at the Sugrave Institution few days ago he called attention to subject which is of peculiar national importance at this time He insisted that aliens who come to America, not in- tending to make permanent homes, but expecting to return should not be received This country he declared no longer should be loved for it's oppor 'tunities alone but should be loved for it's insttu lions well.
 On the floods of immigration are borne multi tudes of aliens who to only to take advant- age of new Eldorado, In them love of father land is ingrained. They but to prosper for a few years then to return in varied degrees of opu- ence to lord it arong the and associations of their early lives. On that flood too borne the sinister units who hold hatred for all government.
 the evil agents who profit by the conditions of the
 liberty they despise and endange to the end that their theories may replace a system which is the result of century and half of wise and patriotic effort.
 And so, with the Vice President, say, away with all who refuse to learn our speech so they may understand institutions; away with all Atheists, Anarchists and Socialists and other prostitute the priceless liberty of free speech to the deriment of the government and its institutions No unlawful assault upon it's authority should ever be permitted by the government
 In this matter of immigration might do vel! to take a leaf out of the book of Canadian precau- ton. Canada already has realized the danger in discriminate immigration. She is according to emil nen authority beginning to scrutinze her closely She has learned that the melting pot sime IS not good one that all the good that is put into the pot does not remain good; that the lower is black, the union of the Orient the European is Asatic The result of unrestricted, unsifted inn migration, is mongrel

Curtailment of Exports
(New York Journal of Commerce

(New York Journal of Commerce.
 Current announcements that the export trade of the United States in meats and other articles has fallen heavily make certain the accuracy of observa tions already registered from statistical standpoint Manufacturers and exporters naturally slow to admit the situation to their trade outlook, while 1t is also true that reductions their order books may not show simultaneously with the decline in export statistics. Be this it may, the of large falling off in the exporaton of sundry sta pes is conceded
 The outcome of present exchange and credit dtions in European trade could hardly be otherwise than as thus indicated European buyers cannot pay indefinitely high prices but the present quotations of their currencies practically subject them in some instances to charges of the most exorbitant kind addition to figures which would in any be vastly tion of banks in almost completely withdrawing ing to exporters would in any event handicap oper atons even under ordinary circumstances. How long this condition of affairs will continue say The situation is highly complex but it would probable that no early revival be looked for As authorities both sides of the water have made pain restoration of sound conditions in Europe is the only foundation resumption business and this will be slow process
 Meantime the reduction of prices of meats cotton and some other articles in this country result of shortened exports is predicted and there is al- ready some evidence of it. Abstractly speaking that should be the result of the retention of goods at home. Certainly 1t is consummation devoutfy to be wished, and if attained will relieve threatening conditions in labor and will put the long suffering consumer into better position.

PROGRESSIVES--GENUINE AND
 PROFESSIONAL

There is probably word in the American poli- tical vocabulary that is msused than the term in the of La Toilette, scolds in the name of Pinchot or Borah or Bryan boldly proclaims himseIf-- follower of Roosevelt is progressive. Not all those who lacking the industry or tenacity to prepare themselves to do something we'll have failed reach position in the strife of life and developing grouch devote their time and tal- ens to berating those who have worked to better purpose "progressives.' The misfits in politics who hope through of the magic word to gain position which they have failed to win their merits, or those dscards who hope in that manner to regain position which they have lost by no means ''progressives They are merely profession al "progressives" They the real article
 The genuine progressive is more often than other wise a who has made good He is optimistic who looks forward rather than backward He is one who wants the country and the race to continue go forward-to move from achievement to another The best progressive is one who has ceeded. and who wants to achieve greater We do not mean of course, to measure success wholly by the accumulation of money The man who has mastered his trade, profession business pays his just obligations takes of his family and guards against a rainy day, if he is a good citizen is just great success as the man who has made millions. It is the quality of work rather than the gain through it that makes for
 It is not infrequently the who has failed at every thing which he has undertaken who shouts progressive" lOudes.. As matter of fact, the greatest progressive usually is the one who talks least about it, but who progresses and works for progress The real progressive is constructive and not destructive
 The citizen who is succeeding in his trade, pro- fession business, who devotes time and energy to community building, to working for the progress of his commonwealth, to constructive development is most often the most progressive among the citizens of the community commonwealth Yet, this sort of citizen usually is assailed as a reactionary by professional progressives."
 One of the duties of citizenship is to discriminate between the genuine and the spurious progressive because the genuine progressive is the sort of man who ought to be guard while the professional progressive is either a nuisance worse.

Our Daily Special. Don't Worry About Giving The Devil His Due He'll Get His.
Luke McLuke Says

Luke McLuke Says
 The worst thing a farmer can say about a man is that the man never gets up until six o'clock in the morning
 The trouble with the man who can wear his wife's shoes is that he gets so vain that he acts like his head was as small as his feet.
 Even if a woman had s97 closets in her home, that wouldn't keep her husband from having to hang his clothes in the cellar or the attic.
 It takes more courage to admit that you are wrong than it does to insist that you are right
 This is a queer world in which a man who profits by his mistakes gets more credit than the man who never makes any
 And man isn't likely to feel out )f sight when he finds that he is head over ears in debt.
 You can learn from Experience. But you will have fewer wrinkles and gray hairs if you will learn from observation.

CLEAN UP GARDEN PLOTS

Now is the time for preventative measures against garden pests for if delayed too long they will be inef- fective is the waEsapg of W. J. Baerg, EntomologiMof of the Agricul- tural Experiment Station, University of Arkansas. Mir. Baerg gives an interesting explanation of the habitat and suggestions that will aid in con trolling two of the worst garden pests.
 The striped Cucumber Beetle: Soon after the growing season for such garden crops as cucumbers, melons, and squashes has begun, numberous complaints regarding the ravages of the striped cucumber beetle come to the Experiment Station. Since these complaints are usually sent in after the, injury of the beetle has become conspicuous such control

The Harlequin Bug, or Calico Bug" as it is sometimes called is a flat-bodied sting bug, red and black ia color. During the months of June and July every mail brings some of these insects and complaints that they are killing cabbage and related plants And that the adults are rath- CT numerous and since no spray is known that will kill them without killing the plant; there is very little that can be done in the way of giv- ing advice.
 The calico bug, like the striped cu- cumber beetle as well as the we'll known squash bug, spends the winter in rubbish and remnants of crops on or near the garden patch. By care fully cleaning up these grounds at

measures as are usually suggested often arrive too late to do any good. Furthermore in the case of the strip ed cucumber beetle spraying with lead arsenateis far from being en- tirely effective for the reason that the beetle refuses to eat the leaves or stem covered with the poisoned spray.
 Much can be done in the winter time to prevent injury by this pest. The beetles spend the winter largely in rubbish, old vines, weeds and other forms of shelter that they are able to find on or near the garden patch If such rubbish is carefully rake up and burned many beetles will be killed and the injury that they are likely to cause will be prevented.
