To Moke Chicago Safe Place To Live William Haile Thompson, mayor of | Chicago, and hia whole ticket, were set down with a bang in the Republican nominating primary in Chicago and the state of Illinois on Tuesday. The result of the election, on which the ticket sponsored and backed by U. S. Senator Dent-en, was the victor, was a big surprise not only to Thompson and the ticket he was backing, but to the state of Illinois and the nation as well. Up to the morning of tne election it^was generally believed that the Thompson ticket in the city and state would have a sweeping victory, but the silent and unorganized vqte, men and women, went to the polls and voiced their disapproval of the lawless element of the wide-open town that was believed to have the backing of Thompson as mayor, Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, Frank L. Smith, candidate for United States senate, t\yice turned back and refused a seat by the senate, and Len Small, candidate for a third term as governor. The vote was overwhelming and the Thompson ticket was rolled out I flatter than a pancake, while the i ticket backed by Deneen received the Republican nominations by a veritable tidal wave of ballots. Thompsoa .was not a candidate and neither was Deneen. The new nominees are promising that if elected in November they will clean Chicago up andmake it a safe place to live. Incidentally the state gave Lowden 38 of its 50 delegates to the Kansas City presidential nominating convention. Mrs. Ruth Hanna MoCormick, daughter of the late Mark Hanna, on present returns, appears to have gotten the nomination for congressman at large over, Richard Yates. The election in Chicago was characterized throughout the day by the wildest kind of thuggery, kidnapings, etc. A bomb explosion on the stairway of a 17-story building in New York on Saturday, wrecked three top floors and threw the occupants of the building into a panic. Five girls and three men were more or less .injured. j Charles Evans Hughes has declined to be the keynoter at the Kansas City | Republican convention and its temporary chairman. He is going to Europe. Dr. Frank Crane Says The Battle of The Bugs In a pamphlet called The Forest Primer, issued by the American Treo Association, are some interesting statistics about one of man's greatest enemies. It appears that there are some two hundred thousand kinds of tre^-attacking insects and that these little I insects cause far greater losses to forests than do fires. If unhindered these insects would : destroy thousands of acres of valuable forests a year. . In one section of Oregon these pests have destroyed enough trees to build eight thousand homes at $10,000 each. Birds are one of the best preventives of insects. In a way they are our best friends. Some insects prey upon others, thus protecting the Trees. But man must be constantly vigilant. He must fight the pine beetles, (borers, timber worms. Bark beetles attack the trees of the Adiron^acks. The larch is the victim of the sawfly worm. The pine beetle is well at the top-of the list of insect enemies. In addition to this trees have diseases, although their powers of resistance to disease ^are greater than their resistance to insects. Dr. L. O. Howard says that if man does not succeed in combating insects they will destroy man. One of the greatest insect enemies is the termite or white ant. It penetrates the wood of floors, walls and foundations. Hence we 4 must not only fight to save the lumber, but to save the buildings. L - There must 'be no let-up in the } fight against insects. i W^must either pay out more money | increasing prices for' lumber, and in the end see the forests disappear. Much has been done in forestry in the last five decades, but much remains to be done, and the care of the trees should be taught in every public school. Who can fully describe the benefits - of the tree ? It is not only a thing of beauty that enhances the landscape, but it is useful. We get from it the material for our houses, for many of our utensils, and for many other useful thing*. Charles Lathrop Pack, who has devoted his life to the trees, and spent nraofi money at this work, deserves great credit. I?Every town ought to have & municipal forest in its environments and ought to do something for the trees "j* eumU>- , ' ?~ ? ? ^ i ~ THK GOVERNOR'S RUQ Costly Footplece Now Decorates Floor of Executive Office Folks who follow affairs of stale will be interested to learn the details of the purchase out of the contingent fund of last year of an expensive rug for the governor's office, as now set forth by The Abbeville Press and Banner, whose editor, Senator Fred D. West, was a member of the freecon !efence committee of the state appropriation bill this lust session. The Abbeville senator-editor is criticizing Governor Richards for his veto of u $1,000 item for the SpanishAmerican war veterans reunion. "Under the present method of financing the various departments," ho says, "so long as the governor and one tfiird of the house of representatives take unto themselves the great problems of running South Carulina, ft might be just as well to appropriate the total amount as a 'contingent fund' and permit the chief executive to pay all salaries of state." But further: "We are not so sure, however, that such disposition of the affairs of state would be wise. We hear much of economy in this day and time. The governor is an economist. He vetoes the item of $1,000 for these soldiers and buys $1,165 rugs for his office. And the state of South Carolina buys that rug on the installment plan. The contingent fund committee pa'd $900 of the total cost from the fund last year, leaving $265 to be paid this year. And still we speak of economy. It's indeed a virtue, but the shoe! I doesn't fit." I We suppose it must have become an emergency of the state during the year 1927 that a new rug be put down in the chief executive's office. Ordinarily the legislature appropriates specifically for furnishings and fixtures of various state offices, and we presume it wasn't foreseen during the 1927 session that a new rug would be needed. It may well be that the governor received so many callers during his first year in office that they completely wore out the old rug and made it necessary to replace it right away. We don't know, of 1 course. But now that it has become general public knowledge that the floor of the governor's office is decorated with a $1,000 rug, no step should overlooked to see that it is properly cared for. There are lots of South Carolina folks who have never seen a $1,000 rug, let alone walked on one, and His Excellency is liable to have to entertain hordes of folks, w?ho will want to say they have seen and stepped on I that famous bit of floor covering. We think another couple of hundred or so should be spent immediately for a vacuum cleaner or whatever other instrument is best suited for keeping $1,000 rugs in the pink of condition.? Greenville News. Dr. Lewis W. Hoffman has been arrested in Washington on a charge of breaking a young woman's neck following an illegal operation. Map of Proposed New County Mr. J. iW. Wingow, of Lexington, S. C., was in The News office last [week and showed a map of the proposed Catawba county, having Great Palls as the county seat. According to the map it is proposed to take 92 square miles from Chester county; 205 miles from Fairfield county; 173 miles from Kershaw county; lc miles from Lancaster county. The i proposed new county would take in Bascomville, Fort Lawn and the new Catawba river bridge in Chester county. .Liberty Hill is another point it Is proposed to take in. Mr, Wingo had a rough estimate of the assessed property in the new county but had not figured how much debt the new. county would take with it if created.
