B. C The socialist orator Howard II. Caldwell and the author of scientific money, K. L. MeClure, met in an impromptu discussion at the corner of Central avenue and Sixth street, and discussed socialism. Mr. MeClure stated that socialism was bnsed on the same fundamental error of all political and social or ganizations selfishness every self ish act nrrests development, deterior ates character and weakens the will, .tnd until perpetual prosperity has been established freedom and justice is unattainable, for generosity, which is tho first essential to normal devel opment, Is Impossible while the pen alty of poverty is inevitable if gen erosity governs tho will. Socialism stated many defects in political government and offered many remedies that would greatly improve present conditions; .but there Is no possibility that they can be at tained, because ail remedies must come through political government, and while a power exists that Is In vincible no administration can carry out remedies that the money power opposes, without its power Is first destroyed. Money is as vital to tho body pol itic as blood to the individual, and financiers in control of gold supply regulato the circulation of money ab solutely and maintain the degree of prosperity as positively as the engi neer gauges steam pressure. Pros perity is the practical aim and ob ject of all, to obtain money to satisfy necessities and desires, and the in vincible power that rules all prosper ity dictates the policy of all political governments under any administra tion that anay be elected socialist ns well. A fixed nnd unchangeable money standard furnished by scientific mon ey would malto credit as constant as gravity and prosperity perpetual, which would destroy every vestige of money power, and money would have no more influence in the affairs of men than bushel baskets. Mr. Caldwell claimed that money was not a necessary factor to the production of wealth, many substi tutes have beon used successfully, and that the true measure of value was a day's labor. Under socialism there would bo no necessity for mon ey competition was war and cooper ation would stop destructive compo tltion all tho tools of production nnd nil public utilities would be owned by tho Btuto, und tho majority of nil wealth which Is now concen trated In tho hands of ono per cent of tho population would bo owned in common! ARREST CHIEF JUSTICE FOR ILLEGAL VOTING r i. in in RENO, Nov., May 22. Chief Jus tice Jtuncs 0. Sweeney of tho Nevndu supremo court today faces u charge of Mogul voting nt the recent demo orotic ftnto presidential primary, til ed with tho democrntiu county com mittee of Wnfehoo county by Loo Up dike, wlio run ns a delegate. Updiko alleges Unit Judge Sweeney, through u resident of Carson City, vol oil iu Nono, nnd thnt 8 ho was u Hupremo judge, mnny other non-resi-lU'iitH following his ruling and voted jjllegnlly also, Mi VERSUS U UH "A JUDICIAL MIND IN ONE ennnol help feel sympathy for President, and tho deal ho has received from his sire sponsor. As tho Pall Mnll Gazette says: "The blow delivered to President Tuft in his native state is a mortal one and completes the tragedy of a jndi eial mind in demagogic polities. The sooner the president ?s pntippil from the iloi? fur Taft belongs upon the bench, not in either the turmoil of politics or the administrator's chair. Especially is he out of place in a eatcJi-as-catch-can tussle with tho blus tering, bluffing, buffeting rough rider. As Teddv says, Taft means well feebly. Rut what, did the colonel mean when he forced Taft upon the people' Tt wasn't done feebly either. All the art and strategy of politics, all the prestige of the administration, all the forces of the federal brigade wore rnthlesslv employed bv Roosevelt to exalt Taft. Tho same tactics Roosevelt so condemns Taft for resorting to in order to renominate himself, were used by Toddy in Tnft's behalf. Taft has been a child of fortune throughout his career. He is one of those upon whom greatness was thrust with out striving. One can imagine his chagrin and mortifica tion when destiny hurled a few bumps in tho path of the victim of Roosevelt's bad judgment and spleen. As they say in "Washington, Taft was "Cincinnati's prize baby who was never spanked until he was 52," and many think T. 1?., the stern parent, is more to blame than his protege. WIRE YOUR CONGRESSMAN. LAST winter tho city council, the county court and Medford Commercial club cooperated and sent Will G. Steel to "Washington to lobbv for the Crater Lake park appropriation. The cooperation of the various depart ments was secured and favorable action promised. While in Washington Mr. Steel presented to the appropriations committees of both senate and house, a plea for favorable consideration ot Bourne s hills (b. 41.U and 8. .M."1). and llawley's (IT. B. 1S-1P.7), in line with the report of the secretary of war (J I. D. IV28), asking for funds to construct a system of roads in the Crater JLako National park. The matter was received with favor, but all such leg islation is placed bv the committees in the sundrv civil bill, which was not then under consideration. However, it is now before the committees and all parties interested should communicate with the Oregon delegation, request ing that the matter be crowded as hard as possible. Residents of southern Oregon should at once wire Senator Bourne and Congressman Hawley, demanding prompt consideration and asking that these bills be pressed with all due diligence. In addition Senator Chtmberlain introduced a bill for an appropriation of $5000 for the survey of additional roads connecting tip from the park, both cast and west, through the national forest. lie should be requested to give this matter his support and immediate consideration. TURN OUT TONIGHT. AN EXCELLENT program has been prepared by the commercial club for tonight's public meeting at the Medford theater. There "will be music and entertain ment, a boxing exhibition and brief talks on live topics bj' leading citizens. Every citizen should attend. It is time for Medford to wake up and do things. The city has been dormant long enough. United energy and a pull together will start the ball of progress rolling again, faster than it ever rolled before. Two things are before the citizens for action, both of which moan much to the future of southern Oregon the construction of a railroad to the Blue Ledge mine, thus opening up an immense copper camp, supplying a great payroll, and the construction of the irrigation sys tem to supply -water to tho entire valley at a cost of sev eral millions of dollars. All that either require is a little concentrated effort, a little unity of action, a little rightly directed energy, a little of the spirit that made Medford. Optimism and energy make cities. No city ever had the opportunity to acquire so much with so little effort as Medford has today. Government Meat Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the bur eau of Animal Industry at Washing ton, who in at tho head of tho govern ment meat Inspection service, states that tho bureau hus nothing to fear from a fair and thorough Investiga tion tho inspection, "Tho resolution introduced in con gress by Jlcprcscntutlvo Nelson," says Dr. Melvin, "contuins a number of false assumptions based on ignor ance or misrepresentation of tho facts. It appears that the charges are Inspired by professional agitators, aided by disgruntled and discredited ex-employees who have been dismiss ed from tho service. "Aside from tho attack on the In tegrity of the officials administering tho servlco, tho main question at Is sue is simply whether tho Inspection should bo based on principles deter mined by emlnont scientists of tho world over who have thoroughly studied tho subject, or on tho senti mental notions of faddists. In 1907 tho regulations wore carofully gono over by a commission of distinguish ed scientific experts outsldo of tho department of agriculture, who re ported that 'If there bo any general error In the regulations this Is In fa vor of tho public rather than In favor of tho butchers and pacltors,' Tho present regulations conform to tho DEMAGOGIC POLITICS." Tuft nnons it t ho better. Inspection Probed views of that commission except that they aro even more strict in somo re spects than tho commission thought necessary. "Perhaps tho most striking evi dence that tho meat inspection bus not deteriorated Js tho fact that con demnations under the new law have boen more than GO per cent greater than under the old law. It Is evi dent from tho statements so far made by Mrs. Crane beforo tho committee, that sho does not understand many things about the Inspection system and tho regulations, and anything that sho docs not understand she suspects of being crooked. Sho has gono out of her way to place a sinis ter construction upon perfectly Inno cont things. So far sho hus advanced nothing that cannot bo inado per fectly plain by the bureau when tho time comes to present Its side of the case," ANDEHSON, lnd May 22,An derson is In gala attire for tho an iiial convention of ludiunu Elks, Tho festivities in connection with the gathering begun today und will con tinue until Friday.

JuAAlfcji'4 Ill FOR SECOND SPRAYING OW Tho common iiuplo worm wliloh !s tho lurvti of tho codling ml ,n " old Kiiroponn insect which Iihm boon distributed by motun of fruit tthlp uu'Utrt to nil parts of the world w'hoi'o tipples nro grown, H l nut only tho best known fruit pent but l tho most generally destructive of all npp'o In Hot'tH. It Is estimated that tho nil nun) loss cannot! by tlilx limeet In tho applo and pear orchard of tho Un Ited Stntos Id no losst than $10,000, 000. and tho cost to the fruit grow ors for keeping It In check by mentis of costly spray apparatus, sprnyR nnd labor la npprotlnuitpl)' $.1,000,00. Wore thla Insect not kept In chock, scarcely u single matured pour or np plo Would bo produced, as tho species would becomo so numerous thnt ev ery young fruit would becomo Infest ed und drop before maturity. Moths Host on Hark of Trn'n Tho codling moth Is a shy little in sect, and in rnVely ever soon since 't files nt dusk or during tho early evening. It is not attracted by lights, ulthough it is the common belief among ninny thnt such Is tho 'case. During the day, the moths rout on tho bark of tho trees which" they closely resemble In color, so that oven the most careful searcher would ex perience difficulty In finding It. Th wings expand nbout three-fourths of au lnch( nnd have somewhat the up penrnnco of Kruylnh-bruwu watered silk, but when examined closely are seen to bo crossed bj" several lines of gray and brown scales. Near the hind angle of each front wtug Is n large dark brown spot marked with streaks of brown or gold. The hind wIoks are of rt lighter grftylHh-bmwn color, darker toward the outt-r mar Kln. Tho females are somewhat lar Kcr than the males. f.lfe HNtot-y What U Meant by the Terra Kvcry fruit grower has noticed thnt If i box of wormy apples ee placed at ono side In the packing house, tiK)ii examination a little later It Is found that the worms have come out of the fruit and have spun white silken cocoons about themsolveH. These cocoon-encased worms may be found In the lower comers and be tween the boards which make up the box. Sometimes the worms wander away some distance from the apples and may be found bthlnd old sacks or other rubbish Mn&JpacUlnK houe. In tho field where tho wormy apples fall to the gronnil. tho worms seek sheltered platen under scales of bark In crotches of limbs, In holes and cracks of the trunk and even under trash and clods of earth. Hero they spin their cocoons in which to spend tho winter. From this It will be seen that the packing house and the scaly barked old apple tree may be fruit ful sources from which the following year's codling moth "crop" may come. It Is a Reed plan as a. part of trie control of this Insect to fumigate tho packing lionise and to rub off tho old bark from the trees. Many of tho larvae which hibernate beneath tho scaly bark are devoured by hungry birds before spring', but those con cealed in tho packing houses nro se cure from bird depredations, nnd ui on emerging iu the uprlng the mature Insects or moths easily find their way to tho nenrby orchards where they deposit their eggs upon the folluge, fruit nnd twigs. An insect which ndrmnlly passes through' four stages, namely, egg, larva, pupa and adult Is said to have complete metamorphosis. Mnny In sects do not have all theso stages, but iu tho case of the codling moth wo find all four. TImi Kgg Tho egK is n small, flat, pcarl-whlto object about tho size of a pin head, and is covered with u network of ridges. After tho development of the embryo begins It becomes darker un til finally tho 'reddish outline or tho young larvn may bo seen. Tho moths which come out during the spring lay most of their eggs on tho leaves, only a few being deposited on tho twtgtt and fruits. The iggs of tho second generation, howevor, nro t deposited mainly on the fruit, which oceurH Jn this district early In July. The tlmo required for the eggs to hatch varies with tho temperature but averages ubout ten days for tho first gcinorfl tlou nnd six to eight days for tho second generatlgn. The Larva Whon first hutched from tho egg tho larva or worm i! ot more than one-sixteenth of au inch long, but, It grows rapidly and' reaches maturity within tno tipple In about threo weeks having by that tlmo attained tho length or about thrco-foiirthH or nn Inch. Tho very young worm Is whit ish In color with a shining blaok head und n body dotted with blackish tub ercles. When it Is full grown It Is pinkish on tho uppor uurfaco nnd whitish benouth, with a brown head. It has threo pairs of legs on the thorax, and flvo pairs of prologs on tho uhdomon, The I'lipn Upon reaching full growth, tho lawn leaves tho npplo anil secretes Itself umlor hoiiIoh of luiru, In cracks ami crevices, In apple botes ami bins, mid encases Itself In u White sllkou cocoon. Within n tow days, or If Into In tho tall, not until tho following spring, It changes to tho pupa atugo which lasts .on tho nvorngo about threo weokH, At first the pupn Is yellowish, later becoming dark brown and In nbout ouo-hulf Inch In length. The Moth Tho moth oi' miller ouierglug Trout tho pupal eovoilufc, ban u wlug ox pause of nbout throe-fourths of mi Inch nnd being (nitre or less Incon spicuous It Im rnrOly over seen by the orclinrdlst. It bus beon previously descrlboil above. In tho sptitig about the time npplo trees bloom tho larva within the cow coona chtvngo to pupae, and soon thereafter the transformation to the winged moths take place. Tho time of appearance of tho inotlm varle tliertforo with tho season, being gov erned very largely by temperature conditions. Ileglutilng to emerge soon after tho blooming period, the moths continue to come out over a period of throe weeks or more. With in threo or four duys nftir emerging the females begin to deposit eggs, plnclug moat of them on tho upper ihirfRCO of the leaves stirroundliiK the cluster of fruits. Kach feiualo de posits on nn average of fifty eges, but the number may bo seventy-five About ten ilnj'8 nro required for th hatching of n egK, the time vary ing wltli, th'6" broods. It usually re quires ton days for tho first brood to hatch while the tlmo may bo two to .four days los for tho second brood, and tho belated first brood. The maximum number of worms are hatched from threo to four weeks after the apple blossoms fall, und It hi for this reason that n second spray lug following the first very shortly should Ikj made. The yoiiiiK worms feed to some extul on the leaes, and If the trcox base been freshly sprnod many of them wilt In poUoued before reaching the apple. Most of the worms of the first brood attempt to enter tho apple through the blossom end, often feeding In the calyx cavity for two or three days before burrow ing to the core of the apple. If the first spray has been thorough and has boen applied beforo tho calyx of tho upplo closes, the ouug worm at tempting to enter at this point any tlmo during the season will usiiiilly bo killed. Devour S,vN -'lrt A small per cent of worms enter nt the stem end of tho npplo ami points on tho side In contact with a leaf or another apple. Upon entering tho fruit, they usually devour tho seeds first, nud then feed about the core making a considerable cavity which they fill with frass. They reach full growth In about threo weeks, then burrow out through the sldo of tho apple nud seek hiding places, usually on tho trunks of the trees where thoy spin cocoons In which to go through their transfor mations. From two to threo weeks aro spent Iu the cocoons, nud the moths of the second generation em orgo and lay egga which produce the second brood of worms. Life Cycle .'( Days Tho llfo cycle of the Insect from tho eggs of the first generation to tho OKgs of the second melioration In completed In nbout fifty duys. in this district, ns In the grentur part of the United States, thoro lire but two generations. In tho extreme south, there is a third generation; while lit the northern New Kur.lnod states with shorter seaHonsf tho majority of tho larvae of tho first generation lilb iirnnto over winter. Tho second gen eration worms, ns well as hoso cf tho third In tho south, seem to be more restless than those of tho first, nnd somewhat differently. They en ter the fruits mainly through tho side und stem end, und they sometlmeH boro purt of tho way and ten como out to start at another point, making Miullow boles hero nud thoro over tho surfaco of tho fruit. Theso nro the so-called "worm stung" fruits. Set-out! Spraying Should IScglu During tho past week eggs wore laid und wo should sou somo worms uh early as tho U.'lnl of May; the maximum number being produced somewhnl Inter. It Is for this renson that tho growurs aro urged to have tho second spray on beforo the lifith of tho month. Tho second brood will appear early Iu July ho that the spray following tho ono now being applied will como during tho lattor part of Juno or early in July. Tho most Im portant point In tho control of this Insect In tho destruction of tho flint brood worms. If a iiluglo pair of moths be ullowed to reproduce thorn HoWes without hindrance, u total of 1 ;i 0 0 to 1500 apples would bo niiulo "wormy" at picking tlmo. Ono can easily estlmatu tho numbor of boxes of apples that u single pair of moths might destroy In u tteason. All sprays nftor tho first should bo such its to thoroughly cover the fruit nud folluge, while tho first Hprny should bo directed muliily to fill tho calyx cavity or nil tho fruits, For pears, u sluglo spraying made at thin tlmo should bo qulto tuifflcloiit. Under ordinary circumstances, poaru nro not vu readily uttackod us npploH, nud liluco tho cnylcou do not close over tho cavities, tho first spray given tho apples need not bo applied. Whor eVer groan or purplo aphis tuny be present, tobacco blaok lent or nuy other nphhi spray may bo added to tho arsenical, Arsenate of lead ap plied ut tho rule of I pounds to 100 gallomi of water Is luiffluluntly strong for each application. It Is n waste of material to apply It stronger. Ono matter which should not bo overlook ed Is tho force Which nhiiutd be given tho spray. A spray rig Mlunild bo cap uhlo of delivering tho spray at u proa sttru of not less than 200 pounds For tho first spray, tho misxlo should ho set ou tho lod nt un angle of about -la degrees mi thnt tho spr.ty may bo directed downward Into tho upturned blossom ends or calyces I' or tall trees, a tower ou tho spray wagon Ih necessary. wboVftuiijSEI FltOM YM'TII TO tll.l) MM your teeth need careful attention.
