A REPLY
To an Unjust Attack Upon the Loyalty OF
the West Virginia Students ut Nashville

To an Unjust Attack Upon the Loyalty OF
the West Virginia students at Nashville
University.
To the Editor of the Register =,
Kindly gran; us space TO say few
words in reply to an article which recent
IN appeared In the New Dominion of Nor
gantown. and has been copied by some or
the State press. In this article the able
journalist and powerful moulder of public
opinion. whose name is tackled to the mast
head of the Dominion. attacks the loyalty
of the students who are in attendance at
the University Of Nashville, rather than at
the West Virginia University.
The Injustice of this attack discloses the
fact that II comes from one whose limited
stock of information confines his horizon
to the four walls that enclose his journal
istic laboratory Probably he never heard
of the phlanthropic Peabody who gave so
many millions of dollars to the cause of
education in the South. Evidently he does
not know that. through his munifcence.
West Virginia is entitled 10 twelve schol-
arships az this institution each of which
is worth $500 and railroad fare to and from
the college for two years. BY these schol-
arships many worthy young men and wo-
men are enabled 10 secure a thorough coll
legiate education. This is why so many
West Virginia students are found at the
University of Nashville.
If an additional reason was deemed nee
essary. IL might be added that Nashville
extends to her students the true Southern
hospitality She appreciates them and is
not slow to show her appreciation. Can
the Dominion say as much for Morgan
town? A writer in the last issue OF the
Athsnaeum. the college paper of the w. V,
L. In a vigorous article calls attention to
the lack of appreciation of the people OF
Morgantown for the University, and as
serts most emphatically that he wishes it
was located elsewhere, and concludes by
saying: verify, we believe many of our
neighboring towns would treat us better"
Let the Dominion confine its missionary
efforts TO "home missions" Charity be-
gins at home.
No one in the State is prouder of the W.
V. L. and more earnestly hope for its
prosperity than the West Virginia stu
dents Mere. Many students after COM
pletiug their course here, continue their
studies at the State University, and sew
eral who are here in attendance now ex-
pect to do so later. STUDENT.

A wrinkle, new to Homo
lulu, is old blue china. 1t
has been the rage in the
United States for six months
past, and in Europe for as
many months before. It's the
sort your great grandmothers
and their children used; ex-
cept that modern methods of
manufacture and decorating
enables the potterS to make
the pieces thinner and the
decorations finer.
Those people who want
something finer than may be
had in Delft, can be accom-
modated with ''Belleek."
This is a much better quality
and is decorated in a more
artistic manner.
For plain every day use,
the Delft is the best, because
it is made to wear and to
use. We have full sets and
single pieces of it, which
will soon find their way into
the homes of Honolulu.
Delft is not a fad; it was
used many years ago and
was fashionable for a full
century before we came on
this mundane sphere. Its place
was taken by other and
Frenchier patterns; now we
are back to the old German
windmill pictures. Come
and see them.

in electing him to the office of presi
dent, and gave them the assurance that
he would do all in his power to give the
very best of satisfaction.
The next business Of the afternoon
was the consideration Of the follow
ing resolution:
ITO cover cost of analysis at the
laboratory of the H. s. P. A, the ven
doris of all fertilizers used in these Is
lands by the sugar planters shall pay to
the treasurer of this Association fee
of 25 cents per ton, and the planters
using fertilizers bind themselves to be
responsible for this payment"
P. G. Jones moved for the adoption
of the resolution. The matter had been
brought before the Association last
year, and discussed to some extent
but no decided action had been taken.
DR.. Maxwell had given the assurance
that the method of assessment sug-
gested in the resolution was the same
as that carried out in all other coun-
tries.
H P. Baldwin said that he had been
opposed to the resolution on the pre-
vious day, but he had since that time
seen it in a favorable light. Some of
the fertilizing companies had already
given their consent to the proposition,
by means of which some $4,000 could be
raised. The trustees were about to ask
for $4,000 to defray expenses of the
coming year, and S., 900 would help
along considerably.
President Hackfeld stated that it was
expected that an agreement would be
signed by plantation managers.
The trustees asked for SIS, 239.11 for
the purpose of defraying the expenses
Of the coming year.
H. P. Baldwin moved that the trus-
tees be authorized to make expendi-
lures on the above estimate. Carried.
The trustees further recommended
that the treasurer be authorized to as
sess amounts not more than 10 cents
per ton on the years crop to defray
expenses. of last year.

proceedings of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association, published in
your issue of yesterday, it is stated that
I said: 1.-The plan of assisting by fer
tilizing had not been a success, owing
to the fact that number of planta-
tons have not been prompt in sending
in samples of soil" What l actually
said was: "The arrangements made

plantations to submit the fertilizers

upper left-hand corner is a blue square
