Women Have Few Doubles.
Perhaps Each One Is Too Beautiful
to Be C0unterfeited.
rrnrn tho Mnnchcster Gnnrdinn.

From the Manchester Gudrdian.
The recent coincidence OF the death
OF King Edwards double and the dis
covery in France OF a double to Presi-
dent Millerand recalls the old theory
that every man has his physical counter
part. 1t Is a theory believed by many
people. although there may be no scien-
tific basis for 1t, in spite of all the
many situations 1t has provided for nov
elists and dramatists. Ii seems to be the
fact. however. that, apart from twins,
these resembances are not dependent
on any relationship nor always on a
common nationality. Gladstone's double
was a certain Austrian statesman who
was once mistaken for Gladstone by
person in the town of Darlington. This
person was q great admirer of Glad
stone and attempted TO express to his
double the admiration he felt. His over
lures were rejected with marked rude
ness, and when some one who had
watched the scene demonstrated with the
Austrian, who did not love Gladstone.
he replied with some satisfaction, II hcnc
7 have deprived Mr.. Gladstone OF one
admirer." King Edward had more than
one double in his time. and there used
to be in village near London a master
plumber with striking resemblance 10
King George in his Duke OF York days.
Lord Weardale suffered at the hands OF
an infuriated suffragist on account Of
a likeness to MIR. Asquith.
In some cases the doubles OF great
men take pathetic pleasure in trying
70 accentuate the likeness by some imi-
tation OF dress or gait. and Irving had
his woud-be double in the days of his
glory on the other hand, II Is very
rarely that we hear Of the doubles Of
famous women or of one woman being
mistaken for another. Feminine indi-
viduaity seems to set the superstition
at defiance. It Is true also that emf
nent men rarely sec the likeness Of their
doubles TO themselves.
TO the list or doubles in public life
may be added one OF the most curious
OF all, the case of the LORD Airlie Of the
'7Os whose likeness TO Sir George Camp
bell was so great that people wore al
ways mistaking one for the other. On
one occasion. for instance. Joseph Cham
herlain was at a dinner party at which.
as he thought, he saw Sir George Camp
bell. with whom he was on familiar
terms, and he went up and hailed him
II. friendly but dsrespectfui FASH
fon." Fortunately Lord Airlle took II
pretty we'll and merely remarked 1T L.

Cotton Weevil and Worm.
Two Pests Which Attack the Plant
In Different WAYS.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your
correspondent A. G. Pouch seems to
have got two cotton pests mixed. In
the first place, the boil weevil is not
worm II is about the size of a COM
mon house fly and has wings In the
second place. the Horticultural Board
does not fumigate plants to eliminate
the boil weevll from Importation. For
eign cotton growing countries. except
Mexico do not have the boil weevil to
contend with.
Your correspondent L. r. Dodge is
also mistaken. The boil weevll does no.
come from a moth. 1t is not worm
and has no relationship to the worm
found on ears OF corn.
On the other hand, the boil worm is
the progeny of a moth and has for
years been a cotton ravaging insect in
Egypt, india, Brazil and Mexico. where
it destroys probably two-thirds of grow
ing crops. In 1917 it invaded Texas
coming, like the weevil. from Mexico.
The United States Agriculture Depart
ment appealed to Congress for an
emergency appropriation to keep the
boil worms out of Texas; they were
already there. but the s250,000 appro-
priated was spent and several millions
of dollars since. The worms are still
in Texas in an extended territory also
In Louisiana and New Mexico. They
threaten to spread. like the boil weevil
over the entire cotton belt. If no pro-
lection is afforded to the plants cot
ton growing will cease in our country.
The boil weevil abides upon the cot
ton plant from the time when 1t is but
few inches above ground and conf
mences to lay eggs as soon as the
spective blooms.
If any squares escape and bolls are
formed they will be attacked by the
boil worms. This latter pest Is the
more damaging because 1t destroys the
cotton in fun grown bolls.
The efforts OF the Government and
the States TO destroy the worms do not
prevent the moths from flying else
where to lay eggs that will hatch out
worms. All efforts to eradicate these
cotton pests by poison have utterly
failed.
The cotton grower now claims that
the market price OF cotton is less than
the cost Of productions That may well
be, when he gets an average production
to the acre of only 127 pounds. which
costs as much to cultivate as IL he pro-
duced 500 pounds to the acre. II 1t
We're not for the boil weevil a normal
crop could be obtained that would bring
a good profit if sold at ten cents a
pound, and we. the consumers. would
not have to pay 40 cents yard for
simple cotton cloth.

The Way to Beat Murphy.

1t was no surprise to see the Execu-
tive Committee Of Tammany Hall
turn down JIMMY HINES by vote Of
20 to 2. 1t would have been sur
prise if anything else had happened.
Compared with Illness chances in
Fourteenth Street the proverbial tai
low dog chasing an asbestos cat
through hell was one to ten shot.
Who was there in the Executive
Committee that could go to the aid
of the insurgent JAMES?
Surely not Leader FINN, who Is
Water Register by grace of MURPHY.
Or Leader PERRY, who was made a
court clerk by MURPHY.
Or Leader CULKIN, who has steve.
dore contracts on piers under MUIR
PHYS HYLAN's HUBERT.
Or Leader GOODWIN, whom MUIR
PLY made Clerk Of the City Court.
Or Leader DooLINo, who is sent to
Congress by MURPHY.
Or Leader CURRY, whom MURPHY
made Commissioner of Records.
Or Leader LAZARUS, who is CURRY's S
deputy.
Or Leader OLvANY, who gets S10.-
900 year as counsel to Tammany
Sheriff.
Or Leader KENNEALLY, who is MUIR
PHYS own Alderman.
Or Leader CRUISE, who is not only
City Clerk but a co-leader in MUIR
PHYS own district.
Or Leader CoGGEY, who is an
Under Sheriff.
Or Leader BLAEEy, who is court
clerk.
Or Leader CosGRovE, who is Deputy
Dock Commissioner.
Or Leader MAHoNEY, who would
like to have MURPHY put him on the
bench. a
Or Leader NAcLE, who is MURPHY S
candidate for Sheriff.
Or any of the other leaders who
are on or threaten to be on the city
payroll through the kindness Of Mr..
MURPHY.
The district leaders of Tammany
Hall are paid s150,000 e year, col
lectively, to be loyal to Mr.. MURPHY.
The city pays 1t. If they were not
loyal they would be ungrateful fell
lows. They are strong for MURPHY.
He controls HYLAN and HYLAN hands
out the jobs.
JIMMY HINES can make speeches
in Tammany Hall from now until
The McMANUs has disproyed the Elm
stein theory; but he can never hurt
MURPHY there so long as the led
leaders are also the fed leaders. All
Of JIMMY's eloquence goes for moth
ing against the simple argument OF
the city pay check.
While HYLAN stays in City Hall
MURPHY stays in Tammany Hall.
To get MURPHY, first get HYLAN.

Holdups From a Cell.

The revelations before the Meyer
committee show that nothing stopped
HyLAN's police when they wanted
money-not even prison bars.
After he had been convicted OF
perjury and was in the Tombs await
ing sentence before the conviction
was reversed Inspector HENRY sent
to the lessee Of city pier for $500.
He got 1t.
Was the steamship company afraid
Of HENRY? 1t is not likely; the re-
versal OF HENRY's conviction had not
been foreshadowed.
The steamship company had seen
two years OF Hylanized police force.
The police had told it what detective
agency it must hire to guard it's prop
erty. 1t knew what poor returns it
had before 1t obeyed the System and
what good returns it had-for a big
price-afterward.
1t was not HENRY the steamship
company feared but what it took
HENRY to represent. The System, the
old System that seems so often to
be killed yet comes up smiling and
grating every time it gets a chance.
That System had no chance under
mitchell and his Police Commits
sioner, ARTHUR WooDs. 1t will have
no chance under CURRAN and his Po-
lice Commissioner.
When HYLAN goes the System
that thing which is so powerful that
it can hold up big interests and big
men even from a cell-will go.

Campbell I am used to It." No less a
person than Mr.. Gladstone made exactly
the same mistake on a much more i'm
portant occasion, that of great public
meeting in Scotland.
Lord Airlie may have been, as he him
self said, fused to It." but he struggled
at one time to prevent similar mistakes
by wearing his ribbon" on occasions
where such gewgaws were not expected,
hoping that. as Campbell had not this
distinction. no mistake could arise. Even
here he was foiled. for House of Com
mons men would be heard asking
What on earth Is that ribbon that
Campbell is wearing to-night?" Dilke's
comment on this particular case is quite

lief to Campbell when Airlie died. but

Auto Campers Accused.

To THE NEW York HERALD: When

that fully 80 per cent. OF auto camp

Politicians, Not Consumers, Repre-

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your edi-

is wonderfully apt. There Is no argu-
ment more silly and misleading than
that the sales tax will "shift the load
from the Few to the many"
AS has been said, l think in your

sumer. Why the present Congress must
stick to the old, complicated method OF

The Old Bog Road.
From the Kansas city stor.

Away in Ballinderry there's an old bog
road
With fragrant flowers a-blooming along
its rugged way,
And I'm wishing with the heart Of me
and longing with the soul Of me
To be wandering at cventide along its
scented way.
There's a luscious scent of woodbine and
dogrose wild and sweet
And a wave of purple heather like a
carpet for your feet,
And tits wishing hard l am to-day to
leave cares weary load
And wander in the cleaning on the old
bog road.

NAMES LOSS.

Maine has sustained considerable
loss in the death of her governor,
Frederic Hale Parkhurst, just as he was
beginning his term of office His work
as a private citizen and as an office
holder in small position had indicated
that in him Maine had been unusually
fortunate in the selection of her ex-
ccutive for the two years. Governor
Parkhurst was a man thoroughly de-
voted to the interests of Maine, having
been born in one OF the small towns
Of the state and having been reared
in the city of Bangor. where his father
had manufacturing interests; and he
had spent practically all Of his life in
that state, the chief exception being
while he was away attending college.
Not only was he devoted to the state
but Governor Parkhurst was a firm be-
lever in Names possibilities. These
cons iderations taken in conjunction
with the known ability Of the man
gave promise that the Parkhurst adj
ministratiou would be fruitful Of much
good to the state. Maine people will,
therefore, regret the passing Of ono Of
her finest sons.
