LANTANA INSECTS
DOING THEIR work

Prof. r. c. l.. Perkins, who returned
from the Island Of Hawaii In the
steamer Kinau Saturday after an alb
sence of a month, states that the cane
on the plantations which he visited is
looking well. The cane borer Is not
doing much damage.
While travelling through the Hilo
and Hamakua districts, Mr.. Perkins
was pleased to note that the lantana
insects, shipments Of which were re-
Gently sent to various prominent cit
liens on the Big Island, had begun to
make themselves manifest. He found
them in several places pursuing their
work of devastation.
Although the entomologist has not
been on Kauai, Maui or Molokui since
shipments Of the insects were sen; to
those islands, he states that he Is con-
fident the destroyers have spread just
as much as on Hawaii. In fact, on
every island, the insects are at their
work and their speedy Increase in num-
bers proves beyond a doubt that the
climate of the Islands makes this a
habitat fully as congenial as Mexico,
the country from which they were i'm
ported.
On this island, II has been noted
that the lantana bushes in the sections
where the insects were first liberated.
have been attacked with exceptional
vigor. When the entomologist had oc-
casion to look at some Of these bushes
the other day, he could not find single
berry the interior of which had not
been completely eaten away.
This means, of course, that the plants
which have been attacked have no
longer any means of propagation, for
as soon as berry develops from a
flower, 1t is eaten away until just the
husk remains.
suppose from the rapid spread Of the
insects that nearly all of the lantana
infested belts of this island at least
have already been attacked and that
In a short time the spread Of the plant
will be checked. All that now remains
10 for the owners Of land to get In and
grub out the old plants as soon as the
insects have done their work. 1t IL
almost a certainty that the insects
will in time rid the Islands of the Ian
tana.
Mr., Perkins stated this forenoon that
he expected Professor Anton Koebele
the government entomologist, to pass
through here on the next steamer OF
SO on his way to the Colonies, there to
continue his work of searching for in.
sects and other things that will prove
OF benefit to the Islands.

PLOTTING THE MOSQUITO.

The campaign against the mosquito
which the Board Of Health proposes to
institute can most certainly be made
O success, given the cooperation OF
householders and land owners which
the project deserves. The mosquito Ii
not necessary evil by any means, and
although complete determination may
be deemed next to impossible, the exs
perience in Cuba and the work done
in the vicinity of New York show that
there is no excuse for any community
calmly submitting to the discomfort or
whatever dangers for which the mos
quito may be responsible,
The village of Lawrence, Long
Island, has furnished one Of the most
recent examples of what can be done
in making successful war against the
mosquito and although the work was
necessarily carried out on a smaller
scale than would be necessary here, the
details are instructive and practical.
Lawrence had to deal with both the
fresh and salt water breeding places.
and II met both the problems In q
manner disastrous to the pest. The
first procedure of the authorities was
to send out circulars to all the house
holders of the town quoting health Or
dinances against maintaining mosquito
breeding places and requesting coop

Grafton in their enforcement. Large |
posters explaining in plain terms the
method of complying with the ordi-
nances were put up in public places
and in every stable. Jars of mosquito
larvae were kept in public places that
the people might familiarize them
selves with their appearance and the
method of development. Articles bear
ing on the subject were also published
in the local newspapers.
Thus the interest of the people was
aroused by preliminary educational
course. The response was very grati-
flying but it was found necessary tol
supplement this work by systematic
inspection by competent men. An eX-
perienced inspector would naturally
find breeding places overlooked by the
householder, could recommend the best
remedy and by repeated and persistent
search at regular intervals became ae-
quainted with the places requiring
special attention after each rainfall.
Lawrence authorities found that it
was useless to deal with the mosquito
in small pools without experimenting
this work with care of the large salt
water marshes. Stagnant pools left
by the receding tide were found to be
more prolific than the fresh water
areas. This phase was met by an ex-
tensive system Of ditching and filling.
All the pools were connected with tide
water, enabling a complete cleansing
with every turn of the tide. Some 20
miles of bitches we're dug, involving an
expenditure Of about $l700. AS re-
suit the areas close by the marshes
were so free from mosquitoes that peo-
pie could sit on the lawns during tho
evening without encountering a single
mosquito, thing unknown before.
For rain barrels, cesspools and fresh
water districts in general petroleum
was used with good success. Special
attention was also paid to the cutting
away Of grass roots that furnished a
holding ground for the mosquitoes
along the edges of water pools.
The cost to the village was an orig.
inal appropriation of $1,000 for the
first experiments and $500 raised by
private subscription.
Judged from the Lawrence exper.
fence, the expense of a Honolulu mos
quito campaign should be compare
lively small. The Board of Health al.
ready has a corps of paid inspectors
whose duties could easily be extended
to the mosquito pools and as over fifty
per cent of Lawrence's expense was for
the labor Of special inspectors It would
seem that the local project could be
carried cat without a severe tax on
private purses provided property own.
ers will devote time and attention to
their own immediate surroundings.

A story Is current in the British
army illustrating the difference be-
tween Kitchener and Lord Roberts.
Before the latter left Cape Town he
called a certain officer into his office
and assigned to him particular duty,
asking him how soon 1t could be done.
The officer said he would try to have
1t done in a fortnight. Lord Roberts
smiled pleasantly and observed: Il
know you will do the best you can"
Outside the door he met Kitchener,
who asked what he was doing. The
officer replied that Lord Roberts had
requested him to do such and such a
thing, and that he had promised to try
to do It in a fortnight.
Now, colonel" said Kitchener, "it
you cannot do 1t In a week we shall
have to see about sending you home

T. Thomas Fortune has evidently re-
turned from the Philippines with o
decided view that those islands are the
land of promise for the American ne
gro. He says that the Filipinos take
more kindly to the colored American
than tho white. This may be true, but
what the country has to consider Is
whether large emigration of negroes
would result in raising the standards
of the Filipino or a retrogression OF
the negro under Filipino influences.
Fortune has in mind the educated
negro. The major portion OF the emf
grants. should his plan be carried out
would come from the lower grade.

SLAVERY IN THE PHILIPPINES.

1T. Thomas Fortunes New York Age.
Mr.. J. o. Nixon of Wilmington, N.
c., insists that slavery exists in the
Philippine Islands, and that because OF
this condition, AtroAmericans should
remain away from that country.
II is fact that a sort of slavery does
exist among the savage tribes of the
extreme Southern islands of the archi
pelago; II Is also true that the Philip.
pine authorities are doing all that they
can to break 1t up. and have had much
success in their efforts. But this slav.
cry does not and cannot affect any
American, of whatever color, even re
mOtely.
An Afro-American has as many
rights and privileges under the laws In
the Philippines as a white man. Some
times he has to fight for what is his,
and fight hard but he has a fighting
chance. Is this true of Wilmington,
or of North Carolina, or of any South.
ern State? Mr.. Nixon will hardly dare
say that 1t is true.
The condition Of the black man in
the Southern States Is as bad as II can
be. That Is admitted on all hands
Law and public opinion are dead
against him and justice in any direc'
ton Is not possible to be had. This
is the cold unfeeling fact. We regret
to have to admit it; We wish It wers
otherwise.
We must have an outlet somewhere
but We want the outlet to be under the
American flag. Why not the Philip
pine Islands? They are under the
American flag If not under the Amerl
can Constitution. The climate is such
as We are used to and thrive best in.
The land is as rich as that of the
Southern States. Population, people
laborers of all sorts, are needed and
needed badly. And the people, the
Filipinos, take kindly, very kindly, to
Afro.American people. Now, when
certain tendencies and policies of the
Philippine government. created by the
Mckinley Administration, have bean
changed to meet the requirements OF
the situation, If there shall be Afro
Americans who desire to go to the
Philippine Islands and grow up with
the country why should Mr. Nixon oil
airy one else who wishes them well
discourage them from doing so? The
writer is almost tempted to go back
there himself, for, under the circum
stances, 1t is In the nature Of a land OF
promise for the Afro.American people
But while we are In the United States
let us stand up manfully for what is
ours; for come veal or woe. the bulk
of us will remain here to the end Of
the chapter.
