DAKOTA COUNTY HERALD; DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA. XT fr if ft 3L if '$.

Flynn, chief of tho United States secret sorvlco, better known as Undo Sam's '.'black cabinet." As a rulo dis that class Is chosen. A negro Is used to approach a negro, an Italian to "ropo" a criminal of that nationality, a German for a German, an engraver to work on an engraver, and so on. Secret service men aro at work all tho tlmo. When there Is no particu lar caso on hand they aro getting a lino on tho habits, haunts and byways of certain peoplo who seom to bo living without apparent effort. Tho shadowed party does not suspect It, and ho may novor know. Tho minute It becomes certain that bad money Is circulating ho and nil tho others of his kind In tho Qlstrlct are watched. All avenues of escapo from tho district aro guarded and each suspect Is shadowed until tho gamo narrows down to tho real culprit or culprits. Tho next thing Is to secure tho evidence to.Convlct. That accomplished, tho arrest Is made. Speaking of secret service guards for tho president, ox-Prcsldent Taft said in a lecturo at Columbia university that tho assassination of Proaldont McKInloy would probably have been provonted If tho present system had then been In force. "Tho secret service men aro lovelheaded, experienced and of good man ners, and they aro wiso In tholr methods," said Mr. Taft. "If a person Is de termined to kill a president nnd Is willing to give up his llfo for It, no such protection will .save him, but desperate persons of this kind aro very rare. Tho' worst danger is from thoso who havo lost part or all of their reason. "Under the practice now pursued In a public reception, a man with his hand In his pocket would not bo permitted to approach within striking or shooting distance of tho president. His holding a revolver under his hand kerchief in his pocket would bo detected long beforo ho could get within reach of tho object of his perverted purpose. Ho would find tho hand of tho secret service man thrust Into tho pocket to find what his own was doing there." Government "Bug Hatchery" Solves Many Problems 4 UNIQUE establishment that might bo called a government "bug hatchery," r but which is officially known as tho eastern field station of tho branch of forest Insects of tho bureau of entomology, Is maintained by tho agricultural department of tho federal government 'n tho edge of tho Virginia villago of Falls Church, a few miles from tho national capital. It has been tho means, sinco its establishment in 1912, of tho solution of many problems that that have been voxing telephone and tolegraph companies, mine owners and other largo users of timber at tacked by Insects, as well as forest ers, manufacturers of forest products, municipal park authorities and indi vidual owners of wood lots. In addi tion to administrative buildings and laboratories, tho field station ha9 four outdoor inscctarlcs equipped with apparatus that Is roughly the counterpart for insect rearing of tho botter-known incubators and brooders of tho poultry plant. In thoso havo been reaied and studied during tho llfo of the station approximately 10,000 specimens of moths, butterflies, sawfllcs, ants, parasitic wasps, bees, various two-winged flies and beetles, which, by boring or in other ways, aro injurious to trees and timber, or which In some cases, strangely enough, aro beneficial. In order to have at hand forest material for carrying on the experiments a plantation of 2,800 young forest trees has been established at the station, representing twenty-two species of conifers and eight species of hard woods. Many of the experiments carried on with forest products have rotated to the effectiveness of various preservatives In preventing attacks on wood by boring Insects, and results havo been secured that havo been Immediately deflected In money saving by largo users of woods. No less valuable havo been tho new processes worked out for protecting shade trees and ornamental shrubs from their voracious insect enemies.

Mr. Wilson Ranks High as a Pardoning President PRESIDENT WILSON was shown In a now light when it dovelopcd that official records of tho department of justlco gavo him rank with Lincoln and McKInloy as a "pardoning president."

"Taft was a merciful president, but ho had a judicial mind and was Inclined to sit In judgment on pardon applications as If ho wero on tho bench," an official of tho department af justlco said In discussing pardon records. "Wilson is not Influenced as much by tho law as by tho heart, and In this way ho Is much llko Lincoln and McKinley. "Roosevelt pardoned fowor criminals and rovorsod moro recommenda tions of tho departmont of Justice than any president In recent years. Ho bolloved crime should bo punished, and whoro Judges and Jurios had acted, ho was loath to Intorforo " Tho official record of tho pardons during tho Wilson administration will not bo availablo until Attorney Gonoral Gregory makes his annual report to congress. This report, however, will only cover tho porlod up to Juno 30, laBt, and will not Includo tho greatly Increased number of pardons and com mutations which the president allowed stneo thorn, If President Wilson continues hlB present pace in extending oxecutlvo clemency, officials declare, ho is certain to go to tho head of tho list, but at any rato It is bolloved certain that no presidents oxcept Lincoln and McKin ley will rank with him In tho number of caees of oxecutlvo clemency shown. 2) Jv,-Wk 4 'SlP guises nro not used by thoso In tho service If tho mattor In hand, for In stance), requires tho collection of Infor mation frow workmen, a man Is chosen who looks tho part without a disguise.
