Hard Work to Kill Mites;
 Best Materials to Us

It takes several months to starve the mites in an infested chicken house after the poultry has been removed. In tests made by the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture some mites were still alive after 113 days in an abandoned hen house. The nests indicated, too, that the mites live longer in damp locations than in very dry conditions, which accounts, in part at least, for the idea that mites are worse in damp, badly ventilated houses.
 The only way to get rid of these pests is to break up their hiding places. Dust baths will not control them. Roosts should be taken down, ard all unnecessary boards removed. In badly infested houses the mites are to be found everywhere, includ- ing the roof. For small coops hand atomizer will do for applying insec- ticides such as sprays, but for larger houses a bucket pump, knapsaciS sprayer, or barrel pump is desirable. A rather coarse spray should be ap- piled from all angles, and driven thoroughly into all the cracks. The floor also should be treated, as many mites fall to the floor when roosts are being removed.
 Commercial carbolineum, which consists essentially of a high-grade anthracene oil, has proved very effective against mites. The killing mower of this substance which is de- rived from coal tar, lasts for several months, and mites which may be .n- clined to come in from other build ings are repelled for long time This material costs, ordinarily, $1 a gallon, but as it's results are superior to those recorded with any other ma terial, and the treatments required are fewer, it's use is strongly advised Crude petroleum, while not so eff.

The careful shipper and packer should ask the railroad to set the refrigerator car on his siding at least "A hours before he expects to load, for no man who works to prevent decay ever loads his poultry into a car having a high temperature.

"OnCe pronounce null and void decision

to emphasize the wrong done to the German Republic by
tearing from its Eastern province than by this quotation
of the protest made fifty years ago by Asace Lorraine
That wrong finally avenged itself by the destruction of
the powerful and victorious empire which inflicted it upon
defeated France, and nothing be certain that his
tory will repeat itself in the matter of the wrong which
is being inflicted by the powerful and victorious Allies
upon defeated Germany.
The folly of creating another three years
after the bloody which the actual Alsace Lorraine
brought about is commentary enough upon the wckeness
and stupidity of European diplomacy.

Unfair to China.

A N initial blunder on our part
IA was the invitation to the
Peking Government to sit in the
conference as the recognized and
legal Government of China.
The Peking Government is no such
thing. 1t is an annex of Tokyo
when it wants money or bayonets
to back it up and an oligarchy of
provincial governors when it is en-
gagged in looting and dividing the
funds squeezed from the people by
forced taxation.
The Canton Government is not
the Government of China, either.
But it is not controlled by Tokyo.
it is really patriotic and progress
sive, and it is headed by Chinese
who have resided in America, who
know America, who admire Ameri-
ca and who would be stanch friends
and allies in case of war between
America and Japan.

Sdiu ior ToNoIplhoh' oy 40
- sassination as for Government
by War.
We happen to have outgrown the
former, while the latter still fingers,
but they are both of one piece.
They both contain, or rather rest
upon, the fundamental delusion that
Right can be obtained and main
! tanned by Force.
In earliest times, when the race
twas just emerging from savagery
land brutedom, assassination was the
Hule; it was practiced, taught and
.honored, as war is now.
Living in those times, if one had
ywronged you, you dubbed him to
ldeath, knitted him in the dark or
poisoned him. He treated you with
like courtesies. 1t was the rule OF
the game, and they all played it.
1t took many, many ages OF civlll-
zation to breed this point of view
out of common acceptance, and it is
juOI yoI WHoly Soho'
Presidents in the United States
7and Cars in Russia have been as
ssassinated in recent times, and since
the present republic has been op-
Grating in Germany, since the war,
some 314 Republican leaders, dis
tasteful to the cock-sparrows Of mil
itarism, have been murdered in
cold blood. Lastly the Premier of
Japan, the first commoner to hold
that office, falls victim to the war
party.
But, generally speaking, the world
has got past assassination as a
means of securing justice.
Police, law and courts Of justice
have taken their place, as rule.
That is, people have found that,
in order to have any security for So
ciety, any permanence in business,
or any tolerable condition of COM
munity life at all, it was necessary
for individuals to give up their
"right" to defend themselves, to
abandon a notion of "honor" that
implied private fights, and to ad-
journ all their quarrels to a public
tribunal.
All civilized countries do this,
and assassination as a recognized
procedure remains only in barbar-
Gus corners of the earth.
But Nations lag. They are ethi-
cally now where individuals were in
the epoch when our ferocious an
cestors, half-naked, swarmed Eu-
rope.
The big fellows fall upon the little
ones and strangle and rob thers
when they take a notion. And a
difference of opinion between two
big nations is still to be settled by
butchering.
A German cannon bore the inscrip-
ton, "The last argument of kings"
It was Machiavelli who gave form
to his strange doctrine that morals
of Nations were nothing like the
morals of Individuals.
World politics today is still Mac
hiavellian.
Nations acknowledge no ultimate
arbiter but their own bloody knife.
And we shall have no right to call
ourselves Civilized until we abandon
our national armies and navies and
set up an International Police.
Till then the world will be Gov
emed by Assassination.

interest, in the public INTEREST,"
To Jail the drug user who has
violated the anti-narcotic laws only
to free him again with his craving
unstilled, his disease uncured, is as
medieval as it is senseless and in
human.
These victims of debasing habit
are SICK, not criminal-except as
criminality in time grows out Ut
their illness. To fine or imprison
them effects NO CURE, nor does it
aid in stamping out the DRUG
TRAFFIC.
That traffic flourishes on these m-
fortunates; yet the law, having
punished, seems blind to the IN
EVITABLE RETURN of the freed
drug slave to his illicit purveyors.
Could a more unjust and illogical
system be imaginedi AS stupid and
brutal, indeed, as the old policy of
jailing confirmed alcoholics, as if
thirty days behind the bars would
either reform or cure a diseased ap-
petite.
Society owes these helpless, alb
normal members the means of re-
lease from their dreadful bondage,
and in serving them it serves IT
SELF. Every dope fend that is
cured not only restores a useful
member to the community, but ar
rests criminality and limits the
scope of the drug traffic.
On the European continent these
facts have long since been recog-
nized. In Germany, as in other
countries, institutions for the treat
ment of drug and liquor addicts are
widely maintained by the state.
Here and not in Jail are these un.
fortunates confined under expert
care and treatment until not only
the habit is banished, but the vic
tim restored to mental, moral and
physical health.
The menace of "dope" is written
all over the land in facts and sta
tistics that must alarm even the
most complacent. The columns Of
this newspaper are daily revealing
the scope of its grip on this COM
munity.
1t must be evident to every
thoughtful citizen that the peril can
not be met and beaten back by legal
force alone. CONSTRUCTIVE,
PREVENTIVE MEASURES must
also be employed, if any real prog
ress is to be made.
Chief among these is Government s
assumption of responsibility for the
addict who falls foul of the law
for his treatment and cure.
That is the humane way and the
enlightened way, and it is also the
only effective way.
