Naturally there must arise a storm bf protest against President Wilson's b ppointment of Louis D. Brandels to he Supreme Court of the United States, and the clouds will gather bver camps that are pitched on soil wned and controlled by the moneyed of the nation.

To compare him with Wil- Miam Howard Taft, as one of Con- mectieut’s esteemed newspapers did | this morning, is cruel, and uncalled for. But this must be expected from the of the rail- road and Taft and Brandels are two different types. ‘When it comes right down to brass tacks there authorities who believe never carries he is an agitator is no reason he will not make Jurist.

Description of Locust Plague in Holy Land | yoy gritain's Busiest Stors 29.— as se- by Washington, D. C., Jan. “Plagued with a locust invz as that brought Moses, the ion Egypt its hordes of tribute-bringing pilgrims cut off by the world war, and bearing the bur- dens of war taxation in money and vere over law- giver, struggled against such adverse condi- tions as it has not known throughout its modern history,” bogins a bulletin just issued by the National Geog phic society at Washington which em- plague over Palestine and Syria dur- ing 1915 as told in a communication to the society by John D. Whiting. “That which was left hy the creep- ing locust hath the swarming locu eaten, and that which was left by the swarming locust hath the grass locu eaten and that which was left by the grass locust hath the corn locust eat- en. Awake—and weep and howl I'or a nation hath come up over my land, bold and without number.’ Thus Joel, writing some seven or eight hun- dred years B. C. begins description of a locust plague, which then as now laid waste this land. We marvel how this ancient writer could have given so graphic and true a de- seription of a devastation caused by locusts in so condensed a form. The oldest men of Palestine remembered no such invasion. Since 1865, com- monly called ‘the year of the locusts, locusts have at intervals reappeared in Syria, but in smaller areas and caus- ing nothing like a general disaster or distre More recently occurred in 1892, in the Jordan valley near Jer- icho, where waving fields of tall green barley and wheat were eaten down to the stump in a remarkably short time. “The locusts of the recent plague first made their appearance during the last days of February, 1915. They flew overhead in such thick clouds as to obscure the sun. However, before they were seen, a loud noise, produced Ly the flapping of myriads of locust| wings, was heard, described as re- | sembling the distant rumble of waves or as St. John has it, ‘the sound of their wings was as the sound of char- iots of many horses running into bat- tle.’ “They reached Jerusalem in the first days of March. Attention was drawn to them by the sudden darken- ing of the bright sunshine. They did not settle in Jerusalein evidently seek- ing greener and less populated d tricts. They departed for Bethlehem. Quantities were now gathered by the, poorer Bethlehemites and a few ate! them roasted, describing the taste as| delicious, especially the females full | of eggs. Still the main reason for collecting them was in order to se-; cure the small bonus offered by the lo- | cal government of Bethlehem. { “Tons were destroyed, being burisd alive till several ancient abandoned | cisterns were filled, while in surround- ing villages each family was required to produce » stipulated weight. Like- ; wise in Jaffa thoy were destroved by being thrown into the Mediterranean and, when washed ashore dead and dricd on the beach, were collected and used as fucl in the public ‘Turkish baths and ovens.’ “These clouds of flying locusts, in Jerusalem at least, invariably came from the northeast going toward the southwest, and it was observed that when strong winds arose, too stiff for them to resist, rather than be carried they seem to settle till the storm passed over. “The locust swarm began covering the fields preparatory to laying eg; Once the alarming extent to which these eggs were laid was realized, the authorities issued a proclamation, re- Guiring each male person from sixteen to sixty years to gather eleven pounds of the eggs. It is estimated by com- petent authorities that as many as 65,000 to 75,000 locust eggs are con- centrated in a square meter of soil, and allowing for a loss of thirty per cent. in hatching, some 60,000 de- stroyers can emerge from a space thirty-nine inches square. “Locusts are not, however, without their own enemies provided by nature. Large flocks of storks flew past Je- during the early days when the adults arrived and after the larave were hatched, consuming abnormal quantities, for which reason the na- tives have always given ‘Abo Saad’| (the stork) a warm welcome. Fur- thermore, in many of the underground | cells in which the female locust de- posits her eags were found eggs laid | by certain species of flies, the young worm or larvae of which, when hatched, lives upcn the locust esgs, | sucking them dry, till developed into the or and emerging a full- fledged fly. Wild birds and domestic developed a ravenous appetite for locusts, while with the smaller lar- vae and pupac turkeys and chickens orged themselves with the re- ame simply sult that the yolk of their eggs be a deep-red color. “The eggs of the locust once hatched the little fellows seem to hold together for a few days, till a little developed in suflicient numbe when they rt their forw march and would ot i rd | from 400 to 600 feet per day, clearing before these in tha of any vegetation observed 1t proods Instinctively went direction to that from which ng parents had come. None who have seen them can be- multi- des and the destruction which they cause. No wonder, then ,t the | writer of the book of Judges likens the Midianites, who had for years de- | tated Isracl’s land, to locusts, and | to ‘the sand which is upon the ; shore for multitude.” “The locusts, when advanced into | the second or pupa wge, walk like | ordinary leaping only when frightencd into a quicker pace, which they readily sh by the use of their two 1o powerful poster- legs. Ho while still in the first or larvae stage, they seem to hop much like fleas, so that when any- the ground It was new reverse their f1 but thos t S insects, and ver, i The moat ,coas | can compete it seemed as if the entire surface of the ground moved, producing a most curious effect upon one’s vision and causing dizziness, which in some was s0 severe as to product a sensation not unlike seasickness. The same was also true when watching them undis- turbed on tree or field. “The younger locusts returned to Jerusalem, and for three or four days an incessant and unending streamn filled the road from side to side, like numberless troops marching on par- ade, and in spite of the traffic at this junction, which to this city is like lower Broadway to New York, their ranks, although thinned, entered the anclent gateway and the New Beach. around David's tower was so filled that the dry earth seem to be a living mass. Fortunately by the time these young broods had hatched the grain crops were too far advanced to be much hurt. The vineyards and or- chai® were the places at which the locust naturally halted for the rapid-| ity of their marchings and the fre- quency of their stops seemed to be regulated by the amount of forage encountered. “Once entering a vineyard, the sprawling vines would in the shortest time be nothing but bare bark, the long dark stem lying flat on the ground, much resembling snakes. Fig leaves perhaps of all things best suit- ed their taste ,and when once a tree fell a prey to them the ground about would be literally layers deep, and the trunks so covered with crawlers as to make it a bright yellow color. They first ate the tender parts, leav- ing a perfect skeleton of the large broad leaves, but soon these, too, were devoured, and usually after one day’s work the tree stood anked of any leaves, with nothing but the hard unripe fruit protruding stiffly from the branches. When the daintier morsels were gone the bark was eaten off the young top-most branches, which after exposure to the sum, hleached snow-white. Then, seem- ingly out of malice, they would gnaw off small limbs, perhaps to get at the pith within. The effect thus caused was a weird one, resembling white candles on a dried-up Christmas tree. “Likewise were destroyed the veg- etable and truck gardens in the plains and hills, to say nothing of the abso- lute annihilation of the grape, and of many thousands of acres of mnative corn, still but a few inches tall, were caten to the ground. In fact, noth- ing escaped their ravages except the orange gardens at Jaffa, due to the heavy sea breezes and strenuous hu- man efforts, while those of the sub- urbs were entirely eaten. “In Nazareth it required several men to sweep the locust to- gether and to destroy them, and many to carry away to mnear-by- ficlds the miniature carcasses. Stores were closed and some houses aban- doned, for there it seemed as if the lo- custs were even more active than in her towns. During the Esgyptian plazue we find Moses announcing the locust scourage in terms of which our present experience is such an exact duplicate, as follows: ‘Behold tomor- row will T bring the locusts into thy s ;and they shall cover the face of the earth,—and they shall eat the res- idue of that which is escaped—every green tree which groweth. And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians.’ " Protection For Dyes. (Bridgeport Telegram.) Every protectionist newspaper in America is worried at present about the dye situation and every such pa- ! per is advancing argument for a high protective tariff on dyes, in order to build up a dye industry in America. “Protection” is the name of a thing. In this c the thing which is described as ‘“protection,” means | that every head of a family must dive | in his pocket to make some- | clse richer. Tt means that dye stuffs will cost more than they ever cost before, and that articles which | are dyed will be correspondingly | higher. | Germany, with its knowledge of coal-tar chemistry, has practically ! monopolized the world’s dye market ' to date. Germany knows more about dyes than any other nation, by 100 per cent. No other manufacturers with the German dye- | makers in the quality of the product, | or in its cheapness | Now the proposition is this: Put a tax on all German dyes that enter the country. This tax wil enable American dye makers to charge a higher price for their inferior product. The public will pay this tax, and the money that thus comes out of the public’s pocket will establish the “dye industry of America. There is no objection to doing this, providing that those who propose it are willing to tell the truth about it nd call it by its right name The ht name is not *“protectio It 1bsidy You—I, the next fel- low, we all—are asked to dip down in our pocket and pay a fiixed tax on every ounce of dve-stuff that comes into this,country, in order that a lot of manufacturers who don’t know their business will be able to com- pete on even terms with a 1ot of other manufacturers who do know their business. | Again, note, to this cour: ple who mu they must down bod is there is no objection provided that the peo- st pay understand that | p and are willing to | do so.

And pay five times as much for our tea. “Protection” for the dye industry means that the private capital'sts who want to make dyes propose that this government shall assure them an unduly high price for their product until such time as they have learned their business, and can produce dyes at something like the price they should be produced at. We have no assurance that such a time will ever | arise. In practise, these high tariff “protections” have a habit of stick- ing on, whether the alleged necessity for them remains or not. In the meantime the public pays a continual subsidy to the protected industry, in the form of higher prices than are charged for the same goods else- where. We have one protective tariff wall already. Every ounce of dye made in Germany must pay the freight of 3,000 mil in America. If, after paying that freight, it is still better | and cheaper than the American dye, shall we bar it out and pay higher ply because it is an American pro- duct?

Many of them have deserved it because they have consciously gr unconsciously, put the interest of some foreign nation first and have abused their adopted country unde- servedly. It's evident, however, that these publications of which the na- tive American is almost wholly ignor- ant, and therfore suspicious, are . thoroughly patriotic. The most convincing proof of it is found in the set of principles adopted by the American Association of Forelgn Language Newspapers in its recefit convention in Chicago: “Many flags, one patriotism Many papers teachs ing one Americanism. Many tonges uttering one word—Iloyalt “Fhe 760 forelgn language newspapers exX- hibited here, with combined circula= tion of over 8,000,000 though dif- fering in language and creed, stand united for one country, the United States one aim, to help preserve the ideals and sacred traditions of thi$ our adopted country. To revere it laws and inspire others, to respeet and obey them; to strive unceasinglf to quicken the public sense of ciyie duty; in all ways to aid in making this country better and greater thap we found it.” That's good enought Americanism for anybody. And if our foreign-born citizens follow the lead of the newspapers that expres uch admirable sentiments, they will not only confer inestimable benafits on their new country, but will find ample reward in more sympathgtié and considerate treatment from older Americans,
