Rotenone, NelO Poison, Nay
Enable Man to Conquer m
sect Foes.
THERE is good news from one of
l. the boards Of strategy in man
kinds biggest war, the never
ending war for possession of the
earth itself which man must wage
against the insects.
DR.. R. c. Roark Of the United
States bureau of chemistry and
soils reports that experiments are
going forward with a compound
known as rotenone, which gives
promise of becoming mans most
formidable weapon against insects.
Man has succeeded in conquering
the wild animals. Most naturalists
believe that the day is not far dis
tant when lions, tigers, and ele-
plants will exist only as stuffed
specimens in museums.
But the insects continue to be a
problem. AS man cultivates large
areas Of the earth's surface for his
own use, he also provides concen-
trated feeding grounds for insects.
international commerce provides
a means by which the insect pests
of one country are imported into
another.
The United States bureau of
chemistry estimates that insects in
flict an annual damage Of $1,000
100000 in the United States.
Their effect is to nullify the
work of 100000 men.

ITALY FIGHTS BACK
June Is

ON June IS, 1918, italian troops,
~ in response to the Austro-
Hungarian offensive, staged a coun-
ter-attack, driving back the Aus
TRANS along the Pave, and taking
more than 5000 prisoners.
French and American troops were
successful in drives against German
lines. The former repulsed the
enemy on the Matz river, while the
Americans drove off Germans with
gas attacks northwest of Chateau
Thierry.
A report coming from Senator
Weeks revealed that United States
naval warfare against submarines
since the first Of the year had ac-
counted for twenty-eight Of the
undersea craft.
The Radoslavof ministry in Bull
garia resigned under pressure.

THE trombone player had Studied

Presidents stood between George
Washington and Herbert Hoover.

and the cornet player, thus en-
couraged, called out, make mine a

Accordingly, no music came when
Bertrand H. Smell called for martial
airs to inSpirit the riotous demon
Stratlon of the delegates. Neverthe-
less, Nevada and parts of Rhode
Island joined in the procession I'D
and down the aisles.
Meanwhile, fleet messengers had
been dispatched to the lunch room
and In an instant the stairway to
the gallery was clogged with
cymbals, flutes, and drums. The
players tuned their instruments on
the dead run and it is not surprising
that the leader, in his furry, picked
what possibly was not the most ap-
propriate selection to buoy up a
Herbert Hoover bedlam.
Give him everything you've got.

bow on the music stand, to be heard

IN the proceedings, sprang to it's

nicGlities.
NEW YORK, June 16.-The Re-
4 Y publican national convention is
IN the midst Of its expected wran-
giles over prohibition as I write.
The issue has been drawn clearly.
On one side there is the straight
forward repeal plank presented by
Senator Hiram Bingham Of Con-
necticut; on the other is the rather
complicated resubmission formula,
which was forced through the reso-
lutions committee in obedience to
President Hoover's wishes.
Being simple and honest, the re-
peal plank requires no explanation.
Being a straddle concealed by YER
bose technicalities, the administra-
ton plank requires too much. It
obviously was manufactured to pla-
cate the drys. AS Daniel A. Polling
says, it leaves them less to worry
about than the vets.

National Society for the Prevention

The various schools for the blind

The subject is particularly impor-

and fireworks of various types are
responsible for a considerable num-

did not want to interrupt and so
they merely framed with their lips
the question Herbert who? has
furnished leadership in this crisis?"
Herbert j. Pennock Jr. the silver
fox farmer of Kennel Square Pa,
and the New York Yankees" some
body suggested in a pantomime, but
that obviously was the wrong
answer. And then, just as every

point to the national plank in the platform as evi


dence of his loyalty to the camel
When he visits the industrial ceners or foregathers
with the men who drafted the state platform he will
pledge allegiance to the state utterance which he will
interpret rs against the eighteenth amendment
OF course, he would have jugged with the issue
the state and the national announcements.
This year he has been handed balancing rod for
his tight-wire walking act
But it is likely that among Republican leaders, his
gymnastics on the subject of prohibition will be of
less interest than his explanation of his domination
Of nominations on the state ticket.
There may be some question as to how far any man
be politically ambitious in this state in the Re-
publican party and give any loyalty to Watson
They may look at the cemetery where are buried
the dead hopes of those who paid the penalty of
serving Watson.
The outstanding example, of course was the treat
ment Of his most loyal lieutenant NJ Bert Thurman.
The leaders knew of the long years Of service given
by Thurman to the Watson career
They knew that the word to defeat Thurman and
nominate Springer could only have come from the
senator himself
They may ask for an explanation Of the stiletto
in the hand of watson when Thurmans probable vic
tory fell crashingly assassinated in the house of its
friends.
Watson may have to talk Of something else than
prohibition this fall Ambitious leaders may ask
whether it pays to follow leader when the only
reward of loyalty is betrayal.

VIII Not in Market

- to stand on the platform and
wave his arms and the band played,
"You Beautiful Son of a Gun"
Several fashlight photographers
took his picture.

Vermont delegation as the band
switched to Dixie. Louis Mayer and
VIII Hays joined the parade, but
gave no assurance that they wished
to buy the motion picture rights.

Someone Must Be Hurt

XXTHY pussyfoot for the sake of
w party harmony under such
circumstances? Why not come out
like men, admit the blunder and
do what we can to correct it? This
is no time to straddle, or play safe,
as politicians will find out before
they get through.
The very storm that has arisen at
Chicago, in spite of all the Hoover
administration could do, should
leave no doubt on that score. Of
course, a repeal plan would offend
the drys, while dry plank would
offend the vets, but does anybody
imagine that we are going to get
out of this mess without Offend
ing some?
BY and large, honest, straightfor-
ward offense represents less risk
than universal disgust, which is
the invariable consequence of side
stepping.
We have reached a point where
it is no longer possible for any party
to carry liquor on both shoulders.

A Political DODGE

EEDERAL prohibition is, and al
l. ways has been, less significant
as a moral experiment than as a
political innovation. It's admitted
failure to remedy the liquor evil
may, or may not, have left us worse
off than we were, but the damage
it has done to our system of JUS
tice and system of government will
require generations to repair.
1t is ridiculous to talk about do
ing anything helpful, or effective as
long as the federal government re-
tains power to play the part of a
"Peeping Tom," and breed the con-
tempt which goes with such part.
The task we face is not only to
stop the futile spying, shopping,
and prosecuting, but to restore the
dignity which formerly attached to
federal activities.
The last twelve years have &C
complished no purpose more dis
tinctly than to put federal courts
on a level with police tribunals,
and to make average people think
Of them as clearing houses for petty
crime.

CHICAGO, June 16,-HundredS of
~ Americans today, or at least mil
lions, are reading the keynote speech
of Representative Bertrand H. Smell,
Republican, permanent chairman,
retired cheese manufacturer and
resident of Potsdan, N. Y. But
those unfortunate enough not to
have heard the address will miss its
full flavor.
The student who approaches the
grafton merely as a masterpiece of
English prose may fall into the err
ror of assuming that it is pretty
much the same as the keynote talk
of Senator Dickinson on the preced-
ing day.
To these casual analysts it might
be pointed out that Smell mentioned
George Washington six times to
Dickinson's none and that he held
his own in the matter of Abraham
Lincoln, with five against five, which
makes total score of: Smell, eleven
runs, one hit, no errors; against
Dickinson's five runs, no hits, nine
errors.
Bertrand H. Smell sent the con-
vention into a tumult which lasted
fifteen minutes. Dickinson's high
run was seventeen seconds. But
though I am New Yorker myself,
I can not allow state pride to blind
me to certain extenuating circum-
stances which partially may account
for the superior performance of Mr..
Smell. He received much better CO.
operation from the band.
