NOT DANG US.

It is alrea dyN evident that the country isn't going to be disrupted by the Book CT T. Washington incident. Mir Wash ington seems to be holding his own and gaining a little besides. He has been making trip through Mississippi, and wherever he has spoken he has been listened to by crowds, including both whites and blacks. At Jackson the State authorities offered him the hall of representatives at the capitol for holding his meeting. A few days ago members of the Lynchburg (Virginia) Gun Club decided to send to President Roosevelt an invitation to participate in camping-out hunt from November Washington incident the action of the club was criticised, and the club took dorsed the sending of the invitation. The members declared that if MT.
 
 the club would consider it the greatest possible honor; that he was able to be the judge of his own acts, and that the club had no apology whatever to make for the course it had pursued. It was stated, however, that the club did not mean, by it's action, to endorse Presi- dent Roosevelt's policy in entertaining Booker Washington at dinner, but that the members of the club recognized that in other sections of the country his act was endorsed, and that it would not be expected that outside of the South southerner's view of the matter could be cherished.
 What is needed is little good sense and good will and as there seems to be a little the incident will soon be closed, or, at least, not be liable to lead to an other war

NEW H1VENsS DEIEG1TE

Colonel N. c. Osborn, editor of the
 Register, had an abundant entrance
 last evening into the honor of a nomi-
 nation for delegate to the Constitu-
 tional Convention. He was nominated
 by the Democratic convention, and his nomination was endorsed by the meet ing of Republicans held to consider the matter. So he will have an abundant entrance into the honor of an election. New Haven will thus be well repre- sented in the convention. Colonel Os- born has long been an earnest and per s1stent advocate of constitutional re- form, and the selection of him for delegate is merited compliment to his zeal and efficiency in the work which preceded the voting for the con- vention, and to his fitness for helping to make what reform is made. He will do good work at Hartford, and he can be depended upon to act for the gen. eral good. As there is no need of any contest over his election 1t is e.lcourag- ing that there is to be none.

UNITED STATES RICE.

| When the resources of this country are fully utilized it will be much more wonderful place than it is now. Great possibilities for the rice industry in
 Louisiana and Texas are predicted by Frank Bond, an expert of the Depart ment of Agriculture, who has looked over the ground. Within the next five
 years or so the United States will, in
 his opinion, be producing rice enough
 to supply all the demands of home con-
 sumption, and will have surplus for
 export. Already fifty per cent. of the
 rice used in this country is produced in
 Texas, Louisiana and the Carolina dis
 tricts. It is for the growers in Texas and Louisiana fields that MT. Bond pre- diets future, as in the Carolina fields, which are two hundred years old, the character of the soil precludes the adop- tion of modern methods of cultivation. The rice growing industry in Texas and Louisiana, however, is comparatively recent, and largely the result of the Agricultural departments successful solution of the irrigation problem, which confronted the growers in those States. The rice grown in this country, Mr. Bond says, is far superior, both in grain and polish, to the Chinese rice, and there is no reason why. with it's extensive cultivation in this country, the price should not be cut in half and the grain vie with the American ce- reals as a staple article of food for the American people.
 Now if somebody will discover a cheap substitute for coal the outlook for the coming generation in this coun- try will be good.
