UNIVERSITY MATTERS.
Address to the Public by the
President of the Board
of Regents.

ADDRESS to the q by the
President Of the Board
of Regents.
Moscow, Sept. 6, 'o8.
AS the University of Idaho
commences Sept. II, its
seventh year of work, it seems
fit that a brief statement of
the advantages offered the
coming year be made to the
people of the state.
Although no successor to
Pres. Gault has yet been cho-
sen, Prof. G. w. McC urdy,
the senior professor, has been
appointed acting president by
the executive committee of
the Regents, and, is actively
engaged in making prepare
tons for the opening of the
years work.
Several changes have been
made in the faculty Of the in
stitution. The Chair of Ag-
riculture, which has been va
cant since the resignation of
Prof. Fox in 1897, has been
filled by the election of
Hiram T. French, M. S., for
eight years professor of agri-
culture in the Oregon Agri-
cultural college at Corvallis.
Prof. French is a graduate of
the Michigan Agricultural
College, was most successful
in his speciality in Oregon and
the authorities there did all in
their power to prevent his ac-
ceptance of the election here.
The chair of horticulture
was established by the Board
at the June meeting, and Fred
A. Huntley, who for the pre-
ceding year had SO efficiently
served as instructor in horti.
culture and acting agricultur.
list, was appointed professor.
The new greenhouse construct.
ed on the latest and most i'm.
proved models, has been com.
pleted during the summer anc
thoroughly equipped for the
work of instruction. Thorr
ISmith, B.. c., a graduate Of
the Michigan Agricultural
College was elected assistant
chemist and will devote him
self especially to the rapidly
!. increasing work of the Expert
ment Station.
Il Bulletins by Profs. McCur
| dy, Henderson and Bonebright
. dealing with problems of prac
teal interests to our farmers
have been issued during thu
summer. The steady de
, mand for them, even from
states in the remote east, i
: sufficient proof of their scien
tifc value and utility.
The mining course, whicl
> proved SO popular during tn
last year, the enrolment show
ing an increase of 400 pc
cent, has been revised until i
= breadth and thoroughness i
; is the peer of the older easter
schools. Extensive addition
have been made in its equiv
ments, and various valuabl
: gifts have been made by pal
ties within and without tn
state who appreciate the cha
acter and Importance of il
work. The number of assay
: made during the year was III
usually large and the depar
ment is still better equippe
; for this class of work the con
ing season. The variou
courses of study were tho
# oughly revised by the facult
l. last year and strengthened an
b%roadened along all line
,. While it is impossible to pa
;. ticularize, | would say that a,
vanced elective courses al
offered in the natural and a.
n piled sciences, Philosophy an
Political Science, Greek ar
Latin, English, the moder
languages, Music and Ar
N embracing excellent courc'
in these branches. New cou
SEES in American history ar
y. offered and the courses in ell

Failure of

among the British West
India colonies is believing that
times would be better if the
British connection were sever
ed. Early next month a con-
.ress of representatives of the
various colonies will meet at
Barbados. The initiative in
movement was taken by
Trinidad. 1t was inspired by
the gradual destruction of the
sugar industry in the islands
owing to the competition OF
the bounty paying countries
of continental Europe. 1t is
expected that the congress
will present urgent petitions
to the British parliament for
relief by legislation. In effect,
they will ask Great Britain SO
as to amend it's customs policy
as to give them a virtual mo-
nopoly of the British market.
If Great Britain is unwilling
to do this, they will ask the
privilege of taking some steps
on their own account to get
into the market of the United
States. The brief period of
reciprocity under the McKin.
ley law, with no United States
tariff on sugar, opened a gin.
tering prospect to the West
Indies. 1t ended before it had
time to produce much more
than prospects. And the
West Indians doubtless argue
that the new relations of the
United States toward Cuba
and Porto Rico and Hawaii
will prevent them from ever
securing the benefits of the
American market again by
reciprocity plan. The motive
of Jamaica's talk for annexa.
ton is a better sugar market,
nothing else. And the same
motive prevails in all other
colonies.
The really instructive les.
son in all this for the United
States is the inadequacy Of
colonial rule. We have come
to look on the British colonial
system as a very benign form
of government for weak states
There seems to be a half form
ed idea among our expansion
lists that the United States car
undertake something of ths
kind itself, that we may b.
able to apply a similar form o
government to Porto Rico
Hawaii and, possibly, the Phil
ippines and Cuba. Probably
we could, but the present OBJ
, ject lesson of the British Yves
Indies should teach us that i
would not serve. Our colo
nists would quickly find on
that we had given them Blu
the shadow of our rights ant
liberties. Annexation to tn
, United States on equal term
with the existing states is
, boon which any people ma,
5 well crave. Annexation as
territory with the ultimat
!. prospect of statehood is a sor
; of preparation for the enjoy
ment of this boon. But ar
nexation as a dependency 0.
5 terms which would proven
S the colony from ever becom
! ing a real part of the Unite
!. Estates would lead only to dis
appointment and future trou
!. BILE. Better than that woul
be the establishment of on
:, proposed colonies as indepeno
ent republics with a termins
. bic protectorate by the Unite
States, only sufficient to guar
them from foreign aggressio
and from any violent civ
e wars. Naval basis and trad
privileges would be our con
%pensation for furnishing thi
dprotection. This is the cours
we should have taken wit
/, Hawaii. 1t is the course W
should take with Porto Ric
and the Philippines.
