alarmed this spring over the threat
OF grasshopper menace and active
steps are being taken to organize a
campaign against the pests. A thor
ough investigation is being made to

Farmers northwest of Kalispell de-
clare there are enough grasshoper
eggs in the soil to destroy their en-
tire crop if weather conditions are
favorable for the insect after hatch
ing. Considerable damage was done
by the hoppers last fall in a number
of sections. and conditions during the
fall and winter have been ideal for
the insects, according to the farmers.

Endorsing the Citizens Charter Tor
wilmington" which appcarcd-in Every
Evening yesterday. laid the blame for
the defeat of the proposed charter ia
the Legislature at the door Of the pro-
fesxioral Republican politicians OF WI
mineton.
IN his communication Mr. walker
pointed out that it was the Republican
organization of Wilmington that FIRST
responded 10 the suggestion that the
bin 10 drawn ny a bipartisan commit
tee the Democratic organization agroo-
inc. The INSIDE story Of the defeat
is now wen known. But Mr Walkers
signed statement shows that tho edi-
,orials which Every Evening published
following the Charter defeat were based
on the facts.
Every Evening would stress the point
here that the rank and flc q the Re
publican party had no hand il the
knitting Of the charter. It is safe 70
say that more than one-half OF the
business and professional men who
/ sponsored the bin are men who usually
vote the Republican ticket. Those men
were just as angry at the sudden turn
Of affairs in the Legislature as their
/ Democratic brethren were.
A little group Of men. who place their
pocket-books before the welfare q the
city. are responsible for the Charter
defeat. II Just happens that they are
the master minds" of the Republican
machine They would be equally guilty
Il they had been Democrats
It is now certain that the Charter
fight will be renewed at the next ses
sion Of the Legislature. But befor'
that time comes the municipal elections
viii be held. It is not improbable tina
bipartisan ticket will be placed il
the field. In any event, the Charte
fight will be continued, ard those wh
are sponsoring the movement are keep
ing their organization intact. Victor
cannot be withheld long from such u

LOGICAL REASONING SCARCE.

one Of the arguments which one Of
our Councilmen used Wednesday night
TO defeat the proposed ordinance which
would haze prohibited the manufacture
or sale Of fireworks in Wilmington was
that the death Of ore child last
car from burns caused by a sparkler
was no more reason to prohibit the sale
Of the sparkler than 10 stop the use Of
automobiles" The gentleman then
cited the fact that severa! children had
been killed by automobiles near his
home in short period Of time.
The gentIeman's reasoning in that
instance was neither sound nor logical.
The automobile is a necessity in mod
ern life, the same as the railway loco
motive; sparklers and fireworks are
not necessities. No sane person would
prohibit the use Of locomotives because
occasionally some person is killed on a
railroad. But pray. what good do spark
lers do, except to fatten the pocket
books of a few fireworks manufactur-
ers and dealers? 1t has been proven
that fireworks are dangerous. !.
Logical reasoning seems to be scarce
these days.
