EMERY DOWNED AGAIN Lewis Emery, without waiting tb judge the fitness of things, again butted into the Republican party, in an attempt to obtain the Congressional nomination in the twenty first district, which has been represented for the pist two terms by Charles F. Barclay. He made such a noise and exhibited such a show of strength, that the good captain got scared and withdrew from the race. "Another opponent, Charles E. Pat ton, a wealthy, but politically unknown lumberman, kept at it, and now, to the surprise of many, he downed Mr.

Emery at recent primary election. His defeat will be relished by all regular as honors should only go to men, who, in years past, worked for and not aimed to destroy the Grand Old 'Party. Emery was rabid against the organization when he ran for governor, against Mr. Stuart, but later was. elected a delegate to the Republican National Convention, as an avowed admirer of Mr.

Taft. This minor success emboldened him; arid he probably secretly aspired to be the next Republican candidate for governor. Alas for his dreams, he will have to stick to oil and chemicals for some to come. The Democrats are through with him, and now the Republicans have effectually closed their doors on him. His downfall is a just commentary on the career of 'a party "straddler," which always ends in disappointment and humiliation.

Captain Barclay is doubtless kicking his shins for not staying in the contest, for he would' probably have triumphed over both his rivals. He pan console himself that he has been always a Republican, but it is cold comfort, when he sizes up what he lost. The party of Lincoln and McKinley extends a hearty welcome to Charles E. Patton, upon his courage which kept him in the fight, and enabled him to win a gratifying and decisive victory. MORE ABOUT CHANGING HISTORIC NAMES The Times has certain favorite topics for its editorials, and to such of its readers who are not interested, they may seem tiresome for that reason.

The Times, however, feels that they are upon subjects of sufficient importance to keep hammering away at them, in the effort to accomplish the desired ends. We have written several times about the custom in this country which is growing with dangerous rapidity, of changing the names of historic towns. Only a few months ago, Tottenville, N. a town with Revolutionary associations, had it's name changed by a crowd of land speculators to Bentley Manor. Despite the howl of protest from the older residents, the change was sustained by the postal authorities.

The latest name Changing indignity has been at Turner, a village on the JHrie Railroad, also in New York state, which has been rechristened Harriman by some truckling railway officials. The descendents of the pioneer settler Peter Turner vainly protested, but they wee outvoted bythe newer and more sychophan tic inhabitants. History is fostered by historic names and places, and we need all the history we can get in a new nation like ours. If settlements named after noted men of the past, or local happenings, are to be ruthlessly altered from time to time, our map will be as changeable as a globe of mercury. Pennsylvania unfortunately set the style for changing the names of its towns, and lost not a little of its historic pre eminence by so doing.

Jay Cooke, just because he called his summer villa "Ogontz," after an obscure Indian fisherman, changed the name of Shoemakerstown to Ogontz, so the name of his place and the post office would be the same. Real estate agents thought Derrs town sounded "too Dutch," and rechristened it Lewisburg. A ticket agent, who objected to writing out such a long name tickets, as Young Woman's Town, was instrumental in having it changed to North Bend. For these, and similar trivial reasons, historic associations have been seri Cttly tampered with, to the benefit of only a few vain HEADING TIMES, READING, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1.V to. GETTYSBURG On' Decoration Day we had the pleasure of hearing Captain1 James T.

Long deliver his lecture on "The Battlefield of Gettysburg," at McElhat tan, Pa. It was through the kindness of Henry W. Shoemaker, president of The Times Publishing Company, who paid all the expenses of Decoration Day services, including a free supper at the hotel for all the old veterans. Mr. Long's lecture was full of force and pathos, but he was handicapped with poor health, having arisen from a isick bed to fill his engagement: And then, to 'make conditions worse, the lecturer had scarcely begun, when a baby near the, front, setUip a howltand continued to howl for half an hour.

Weike babies, and sympathize with mothers, but when it comes to distressing everybody, adding' anything to the comfort, of 'the baby, the kid had better be taken away. One feature about the lecture 1 admired it was not glorifying war, but holding up the awful carnage of Gettysburg to show the barbarity' and savagery of bloody And yet, he showed how the American people have cherished this one battlefield above alt the other battlefields of the entire world. There "are seven million dollars worth of monuments and markers to point out the many particular points of interest more than the monuments' of all the combined battlefields of the world cost in money. And the end is not yet in sight. We are pouring out our money to this spot and to honor the names of the men who died to preserve our Union.

i Dying for one's country is as old as history. It was handed, down to us from barbarism. There is nothing new rior original about it. It is the religion of patriotism, and yet, the time has come when it should no longer be a means of reaping glory and praise. In the name of universal peace we should remember that one man cannot die for his country without finding some other man willing to become a butcher.

The only means through which one man can reap the glory that comes to the martyred soldier, is through murder. To be killed in war, somebody must do the killing is an old barbarous idea, born of man's ignorance, at a time when it was the common belief that the Great God of Nature delighted in human sacrifice. As I said before, it was considered the religion of patriotism to die for one's country five thousand years ago. Just think for one. moment, Captain Long declared that at one time, ten thousand men lay dead on the Gettysburg bloody battlefield, besides the thousands who were wounded.

And to add to the horror, five thousand mules and horses lay dead. And to crown it all, one woman lay dead in the midst of all this human horror, Should we glorify war? Or would it be best to forget it, the same as men try to forget any other period of debauchery. War is a worse debauch than one of drunkenness and it settles nothing. War cannot establish a wrong and make it perpetual. If Lee had won the battle of Gettysburg, and' finally conquered the Union states, so that slavery could have been established in every state and territory would this have settled the slavery question for all time As it happened, the Union forces won did it settle the negro problem for all time? Is it not still the overshadowing problem for the future to settle And will men be foolish enough to try to settle the great question by means of war and bloodshed? Great problems are decided and tried out through the process of serious thought.

All political issues are mental issues. Man is a reasonable creature when at peace, but an unreasonable beast when engaged in war. How much better for the entire world, if the slavery question had been reasoned out, the owners paid for their property rights in their slaves', and the colored people given their freedom witruthe blessing of the white man added, instead of the political franchise. Then Gettysburg's bloody ground would have never been, nor the many other bloody battlefields that now stand as mute witnesses to recall our four years of barbarism. Make Gettysburg an object lesson to teach the rising generations tine horrors and degeneracy of war, but never as a place to deify a battlefield nor to glorify the act of dying for country's sake.

The idea is as old as paganism. Captain Long could make his lecture a working force in the cause of peace, by putting more stress on the uselessness of war, showing the people that war settles nothing permanently, but is always a curse to civilization. PUIS MID 1111 PESTS Weakly Discussion of Timely Topics by State' Zoologist H. A. Surface GAPES IX CHICKS A prominent' Clarion county farm er wrote to Prof.

H. A. Surface, state soologist, Pennsylvania, saying: "My neighbor's chicks are all dying with gapes, and I have 186 I would like to save. Can you tell me what to do for them, and also advise a remedy for lice on little chicks?" The reply of Professor Surface was as follows: "Replying to your inquiry concern. ing gapes In chicks.

I can say that this, disease is due to little worms in the windpipe, which comes from the chicks eating earth worms. If they are never allowed on the ground where there are earth worms, they will not get the gapes. For example. If you can keep them on the barn floor, or on soil well covered With lime or they will be free from this disease; but, of course, they do muchy better if allowed to run out, especial ly during nice weather. "Within the earth worm the little gape worm is encysted, just as the parasitic worm causing the human disease known as Trichinosis is encysted in the flesh of pork, and develops when eaten by a.

In the same way does this little gape worm remain in the earth worm until eaten by the fowl or chick, when it develops Into the Rape worm, causing the disease which indicates its presence, "A successful physician has recom mended to me to destroy the peat by putting the chicks into a box and dropping a few drops of carbolic acid on hot bricks, closing the box, and letting the chicks breathe the fumes for a few minutes. Repeat treatment once or twice. There is, of course, danger of overdoing this by making the fumes too strong, If one is not careful. "One simple remedy which I have seen successfully used this spring is common kerosene or lamp oil applied by dipping the tip of a feather into it, and inserting it into the windpipe of the chick. The shank of the feather should be stripped of its side barbs and onlv the tiD remain to act as a soft brush.

By opening the mouth of the chick and pulling the tongue slightly, the opening in the windpipe is to be seen, and the feather can be inserted. This apparently dees not cause pain, and the operation is soon finished. It appears that one touch' of the oil against the gape worm is enough to kill it, even though it is not removed by the feather at the time of treatment. I saw a large number of chicks treated this spring and everyone recovered after treatmen. This appears to me to be more certain, and even more humane, that to attempt to remove with a horse hair loop, which is commonly used, Inserted In the windpipe.

For lice in little chicks I recom mend a drop of greaBe on the head and under the wing. Fresh lard, with out salt, is the best. Do not use much Only a slight drop or touch is enough, and put a little under the wings of the mother hen." FEA BEETLES INJURING BUDS OF GRAFTS A Pennsylvania" farmer prominent in work, In Juniata county, sent specimens of insects to State Zoologist Surface, stating that the pests were destroying the buds of his grafts. Just as they opened. He asked for the name of the Insects and inforij mation on the proper remedy.

To. this Professor Surface replied: "The Insects whlon you sent to us destroying the new grafts buds on your peach trees, are flea beetles. Tapy both jump and fly, as you say. pie scientific name of this reiiow is Crepldodera rufipes. This is new mis chief for him to be into, although he is a bad chap.

This particular insect is very destructive to the leaves or many kinds of plants, eating little holes in the epidermis or covering, making them appear as though filled with little brown spots. "I note with interest that you say they ate the quince grafts as well as other fruit buds. Fortunately, there is no trouble In getting rid of this pest if you will spray the grafted buds and leaves with one ounce of arsenate of lead in each gallon of water; you will put them out of commission and pro tect the plants which otherwise may be severely injured by the "This and similar leaf beetles, like wise attacking the potatoes, especial ly Injuring the early plants, are often troublesome. For such plants where you wish to apply a fungicide for diseases like the blight, as well as an, insecticide for the chewing Insects, you can add your three pounds of arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of Bordeaux mixture." CANKER WORMS. A Mercer county, Pennsylvania, fruit grower has written to State Zoologist It.

A. Surface that there appears to be something wrong with his 100 12 year old apple trees and encloses specimens for examination and information as to the trouble and remedy. The professor replied: "The apple twigs sent are infested with the Fall Canker worm. The eggs are just hatching. This is the fellow that, as it becomes larger, is known as the Looper, Span worm and Measuring worm.

There is only one thing to do now, and that is to spray all the in fested trees with an arsenical poison. Use either one third pound of paris green or two or three pounds of ar senate of lead in 50 gallons of water, As this is about the right time for one of the sprayings for the Codling moth, you will not lose anything by making the application of the poison at 'this time. It will insure the destruction of this pest, which otherwise might de stroy your leaves and fruit crop for this year, and will also help to insure fruits free from the common ly known as the Codling moth. "It Is also advisable to make up the Bordeaux mixture by using three pounds of copper sulphate and four pounds of lime In GO gallons of water, and add your arsenical poison to this the same as though you were going to use it alone. Thus you will have cpray that will hot only kill the young Canker worm and the Codling moth larva, but will also prevent plant din eases which might otherwise attack leaves and fruits of your trees.

"It Is very important that your spraying for this pest be done soon. I would advise you to prepare to make the application just as goon as possible, as this will help you to prevent the severe destruction of leaves? which, till mean a loss of fruit for this year; ana a drainage upon the vitality of the tree, so that it will not set good fruit budi for next year. Prompt ac tion is one of the most important points in the destruction of the Canker 4 MATRIMQNIAL Howard Kintfs. of FrackvlUe, and Miss Anna Qlime, Tamaqua, called at the parsonage of the Rev.
