THE RECALL.
Our kind friends of the Republican
have grown repentant of their wicked
pQlitical ways and after several hard
knocks in the campaigns of the past
few years, have ‘‘pilfered’’ oft-stolen
Socialist planks and advoeate that
“fad, foible, fancy or folly”’, the
Recall of J ddges.
How much they are swayed by a
desire to recall Judge Ruppel and
elect their favorcrite to the office,
our readers can well imagine, and
then they probably would haye
another change of heart amd adve-
cate the abolition of the Recall,
which reminds us that,
“When the devil was sick
The devil a monk would be,
But when the dewil was well,
The devil of a monk was he.”
However, me matter what the
cause ‘‘there is hope’”’. as Dr. Mun-
yon would say, when light breaks in
on such dark and unexpected po-
litical abodes.
THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW.
Down in ‘Georgia, which we wish
to remind our readers is in America,
a 10 year old youngster was sentenced
to serve seven years in the peni-
tentiary for stealing a 5 cént bottle
of pop.
After due deliberation for many
days, the august and divine Sup-
reme Court of the sovereign State
of Georgia decided that the law
must be vindicated and upheld
the sentence.
Great is the majesty of the law!
Property must be protected even to
the last ‘bottle of pop, no matter how
many human lives are sacrificed.
Such verdicts add mightily to our:
respect fer the courts and our beau-
tiful theory of justice alike for the
rich and the poor. No doubt the
poor little kid will come out of pris-
on with a great aversion for pop
and will steal no more of the 5 cent
stuff. He may even become a capi-
talist, steal a railroad and be sent te
the United States Senate.
Then our great newspapers can
write editorials, that our country
newspapers will please copy, glori-
fying our judicial, penal and capi-
talist system showing the evolution
of a boy who illegally stole a5 cent
bottle of pop to a man who legally
stole a ten million dollar railroad.
Recall the judges? Why not re-
call the whole system and start
anew on a humane basis.
ANARCHY IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Feudist Governor Hatfield, sup-
ported by the coal mine owners,
Supreme Court of West Virginia, has
no hesitancy in knocking all law and
citizens’ rights higher than a kite in
a stiff breeze, when called upon by
the mine owners to break a strike
and drive the miners. back into
slavery.
Due to the overwhelming protest
from all over the country, he has
unconditionally melieved Mother
Jones, showing that there was ab-
solutely no cause for holding her
except to stop her work of agitation
and organization among the min-
ors.
He has, however, violated free-
dom of speech and of the press by
confiscating the newspaper plants
of twogLabor{and Socialist papers at
Charleston and§Huntingdon for crit-
icising his high-handed ontrageous
actions in imprisoning the agitators
and editors in the miners cause, and
throw the editors into a military
prison without any charge and with-
out trial. 2
The Declaration of Independence
and our constitutions declare that
the peoplefhave the right to ‘‘amend,
alter or abolish our present form of
government’’ and certainly that car-
ries with it the right to agitate for
the same, but Governor Hatfield,
evidently thinks otherwise when
the profits of a wealthy mine-own-
er’s association are concerned.
Our government being a class
weapon in the hands of the capital-
ist class, what can we expect other-
wise?
When the workers awake and
fight politically along class lines
as they must fight industrially,
then and only then, will we see
some respect for laws, constitutions
and citizens’ rights when profits and
wages are concerned.
SOCIALIST VICTORIES.
The Socialists of the Copper Trust
city Butte, Montana, have swept :
the city against a coalition of alll!
the other parties against them, and
the Socialists of Rubber Trust|:
town of Nanpetuck, Conn., have
done likewise.’
Evidently the workers are learning
that collective ownership of the trust
préblem.

Belated Treat vent for San
Jose Se i .
‘‘Many persoms are now learning
that their tiees are infested with San
Jose scale, and that it is too late to
spray for this pest without injuring
fruit or foliage. They are, therefore,
asking Professor H. A. Surface, State
Zoologist, Hawvisburg, what to do un-
der the circumstances.
“A correspondent from Bradford
| county has written to Dr. Surface
saying: ‘‘I was sorty to learn that
the branches I sent to you were in-
fested with San Jose scale. Accord-
ing to your instructions it is now too
late to spray. The leaves are now on
the trees. I have other young trees
that are just as badly infested, and
hood. I have been told that the Gov-
ernment sent out a man to look after
such things, and I would like to have
the trees looked after. Would you
advise cutting out the trees that are
infected?’
‘“To this appeal Professor Surface
replied with information that will be
helpful to others desiring it, as fol-
lows: L v
‘“The best thing to do is to make a
strong lime sulfur solution, just as
though you were going to spray with
it, only if you wish you can make it
stronger. Apply it with brushes to
all the branches and twigs that you
can reach. A paint brush or white-
wash brush is very good for this.
Also, if you will use a spray pump
| with one small nozzle you can spray
the larger branches and trunk with-
out getting the spray liquid on the
leaves or fruit, and, consequently,
without injury to them. Remember
that no material kills the scale that
does not touch the pest, and where a
tree. has much infestation you will
find scale in abundance clear to the
tips of all of the twigs of last year’s
growth. Therefore, you can not hope
to kill all of them by painting with
brushes, but you can kill the scale
over a large part of the bark of the
trees, and thus keep it (the tree) alive
and wigorous enough to maintain its
existence until the leaves drop this
fall, after which it should be thorough-
ly sprayed with strong lime-sulfur
solution. Of course, this is the best
and cheapest material to use, and you
cannot apply it strong enough or apply
it heavily enough to injure the trees,
if it comes in contaet only with the
bark. ‘
‘““We have sent men to do inspec-
tion and demonstration work in this
State, but I do not hawe the funds
nor the men to send wherever re-
quired. Our funds are now practical-
ly exhausted and we are awaiting the
action of the Legislature to know
what we shall have for further pur-
poses. The trees that are infested
with scale should be cut back in pro-
portion to the scale injury or infes-
tation.”

. JOSEPH MEETS HIS BRETHREN.
| LESSON TEXT—Gen. £:3-17.
GOLDEN TEXT-—-*“Whatsoever & man
;soweth, that shall he also reap.” Gal
i Joseph was thirty years of agé when
jhe reached his position of supreme au.
Ithority, but we ought not to allow our
selves to forget those thirteen years
‘of humiliation, during which he was
betrayed, sold into slavery and neg-
‘lected by those whom he befriended.
Yet those were days of fidelity in his
service, of victory over fierce tempta-
tion, of enduring unjust imprisonment
—a long period of patient waiting but
a valuable period in that now at thirty
‘years of age he comes to this position
of power fully equipped with that
‘knowledge of men, control of himself
‘and faith in God as to be properly fit-
‘ted for the burden of responsibility
‘thrust upon him:
Did Not Forget.
I. The Brothers Need, vv, 3-6. The
famine was not confined to Egypt, but
reached over to Canaan, where Jacob
and his sons lived. The desperate-
ness of the famine is indicated by Ja-
cob’s command to buy, “that we may
live, and not die.” But Jacob is too
old to travel, hence the brothers un-
dertake the journey. Twenty-two
years have passed since that experi-
ence when Joseph’s brethren cast him
into the pit. They have been years
filled with wonderful experiences for
Joseph. Now their attitude is changed;
instead of being his tormentors they
are suppliants’'at’ his feet. During
these seven years of garnering Joseph
had set up his own family and two
sons were born, the names of whom
were significant. :
The possession of a child of his own
would naturally quicken his inquiries
as to his father’s household, for he
assumed that in the order of events
his father must be dead.
1l. A Brother's Memory, vv. 7-17. Jo-
seph at once recognized his brothers,
but treated them brusquely, demand-
ing from whence they came and the
purpose that brought them hither
(v. 7). Again (vv. 8, 8) the text re-
minds us that Joseph remembered.
Only God can forgive and forget. But
Joseph is an inspiration to us that
though we may not be able to forget
we can forgive. The question might
be raised, “Why then did Joseph dis-
simulate?” The answer is threefold:
(1) Joseph desired to ascertain the
characters of his brothers. Did they
remember? Yes, for they replied that
they were “twelve brethren.” Ten
were before him, one at home and
“one is not.” That their characters
were not eatirely changed is evi-
denced by their words, “We are true
men” (v. 11), which of course was not
the truth. (2) Joseph desired to know
©of his father and of their home life.
"The accusation that the brothers are
spies called forth the statement that
the father, Jacob, is still alive. The
oped out of these first two, viz, Jo-
seph desired to reach his father and
Benjamin, whom he had never seen.
‘We do not commend Joseph’s method
as being of the highest ethical value,
for his standard was not the standard
of the man whe knows Christ. Joseph
is a type; there is only one perfect
man, Jesus Christ, and Joseph points
toward that promised Saviour,
Guilty Consciences.
Joseph knew his brothers told the
truth about their not being spies, but
he also knew that they lied when they
asserted themselves to be true men
and that one brother “is not.” Here
is the lesson of mistaken estimates of
one’s self and that a man’s true value
is known and appreciated. Little did
they realize, however, that their false-
hood was being read as it was uttered
and that the man before whom they
were standing was this same brother.
Joseph affected not to believe any of
their story and demanded proof (vv.
15, 16) of their assertions. After three
days in jail he appeared to relent and
ordered that only one of their number
should remain as hostage. The result
of all is shown in v. 21. After invol-
untarily leaving Simeon shut up in the
Egyptian prison their minds traveled
back to that time twenty years before
and they remembered Joseph's an-
guish and distress when they would
not hear, “therefore is this distress
come upon us.” Their guilty cony
sciencés are aroused.
Jacob's cry, “All things are
me,” v, 86, was a mistake. Josep!
was alive and exalted that he might
save the life of Jacob and his chil
dren. Simeon was alive and drawing
his brothers back to Egypt. Benjamin;
would come back safely. 1
Emphasize the fact that we cannot
forget our wrong acts and that Joseph;
was not troubled by any such mem-
ories. Also em the retura of
good for evil, Rom. 12:20, 21. Joseph's:
brethren were sowing the fruit of the
seeds of envy and malice they had
sown twenty years previously. Seo also
was Jacob reaping the seeds of his
deceit, for in spite of his great ma~
terial prosperity he has great anguish
of heart. We try to sow and not to
reap. See that the seed thoughts in
the heart are right. The grace of
God forgives sin, but it remains ¢&
| terrible fact in our lives. |

DUCKOLOGY.
Dr. Ferdinand Brown saw fit to coin
a word as a title for his article in
Sprorts Afield for May, but its ex-
pressiveness is sufficient excuse and
it should be generally adopted. Ob-
servations and Conclusions on Duck-
ology treat of the past, present and
future plenitude of American water-
foul that are beloved of sportsmen.
and presents ample basis for the
writer’s prediction that in a few years
the now despised mud-hen will have
become wonderfully attractive, not
to gunners alone, but to fastidious
diners who scorn wildfowl less aristo-
cratic than the canvasback or mallard.
Four Thunder Mountain Tenderfeet
relates the experience of a party of
prospectois who strove to be in the
forefront of a mining rush and were
snowbound all winter for their pains.
Frank Raney tells of Living Like the
Birds and Bears, which in his partic-
ular case meant getting lost in the
Salmon Arm country in British Col-
umbia and starving until rescue came
in the shape of a couple of squaw-men
and their off colored families. Remi-
niscences of an Old-time Cowboy
continue, and we find the conclusion
of Mr. Barne’s Ozark Mountaln serial
which many of his readers will regret.
W. H. Frazer has a very good ar-
ticle, The Deer and Its Habits; Some
Eastern Weapons, by Richard Clap-
ham, describes those fearfully lethal
toys of the Asiatics, curved-bladed
and razor-edged, which are more
dreaded by European troops than the
handed broadswords which cleave by
pure weight through skull and chine.
And there is the usual collation of
minor events for hungry sportsmen.
