NO REMEDY FOUND.

The Texas Boil Weevl Commission
has made its report, but there is very
little in it that is encouraging to the
cotton growers. The commission adj
mits that it has found no remedy for
the pest, but expresses the hope that
one. will be found
1t will be recalled that the Legisla-
ture OF Texas offered a reward of $780,
600 for a remedy for the boil weevil
Very many remedies were sub
mitted to the commission the owner
OF each one no doubt hoping to get the
reward, but the commission turned
them all down. There wasn't one of
them that would do what it was in
tended to do.
The commission, however, is of the
opinion that the time isn't distant
when destroyer of the pest will be
forthcoming. The farmers and others
have been set to thinking by the re-
ward, and by the agitation of the
subject, and many of them are ac-
lively experimenting. 1t would not
DE at all strange if some one of them
hnaliy hit upon a remedy.
The state of Texas can well afford
to pay a reward of $4,000 for a. rem
edy. The boil weevil is gradually
spreading over the state 1t has all
ready made its appearance in more
than eighty counties, and it is about
the worst enemy cotton has. BY next
spring, when the commission meets
again, it is expected that there will be
number of additional destroyers pre-
scented for examination.

The report of the superintendent of
public schools, which we printed yes
terday, is a very interesting paper. 1t
shows the school system of the city
and county to be in excellent condition.
The 10000 mark of enrolment of
school children was nearly reached last
year; it will probably be reached and
passed this year, with the improved
facilities that have been and are to be
provided. Educational work in Savan-
nah has become very important part
of public life. The city is becoming an
educational center. 1t is true that we
have no large institution of higher
learning, but it is equally true that
our grammar schools are the equals
of any in the country, while our high
school should take rank with, or
above, some of the schools that in 9TH
or cities are called colleges. Savan-
nah has always dealt literally with
her schools, meeting every reasonable
demand made on their behalf, and as
a result she has system of which she
is justly proud.

Marvellous Alaska.

The foresight which led thirty-six
years ago to the purchase of Alaska
for 100000 is at last coming to be
realized when the treasury books show
that the investment is now paying Toe
per cent annually, with promise OF
almost fabulous figures in the future.
D. H. Jarvis, former lieutenant in the
revenue cutter service, the present COL
lector of customs at Sitka, was IN
Washington a few days ago, and said:
1.-The only trouble with Alaska is thai
the people of the United States do not
know what a country it is. A cam
paign of education in the United States
would add to the population of Alaska
by many thousands, and would soon
make it one of the great countries of
the world. The possibilities of the
territory are beyond comprehension.
Leaving out mining-for' everybody
knows that Alaska is rich in gold AMI
silver-the future of the territory will
be brilliant one of commerce, cattle
raising, agriculture and fishing. There
is the greatest ignorance about Alaska.
Why, some of the rich islands of the
territory are larger than several of the
small states of the United States. There
is a coast line to Alaska of twenty i've
thousand miles. The people in the
states associate Alaska with seals and
icebergs. and whenever Alaska is men,
toned that is about the first and only
thing that comes to the mind. unless it
is something remote about gold discov-
cries. All winter at Sitka the Their
mometer never went below degrees
above zero. I believe the weather
reached that point a number of times
the last winter in Washington. There
are two thousand miles of coast IN
southern Alaska where the tempera-
ture is never below degrees above
zero, and where it is as mild in the
dead of winter as in half of the United
States. Just think of that! The grass
in spring and summer grows tempt
ingly green, and cattle and sheep grow
fat and contented. AS to vegetables,
there is hardly a place in Alaska where
they will not attain splendid growth.
OF course, the interior of Alaska, far
back from the coast. is cold, and the
summers short but there are hundreds
and thousands of the most fertile val
| leys in the interior where vegetables
will grow easily. Sitka is no further
| north than Glasgow, Edinburgh or
/ Copenhagen, and its climate is more
| temperate than any of them"

Mark Smiths Note of Warning.

The Hon. Marcus A. Smith has re-
turned to his home at Tucson, and very
naturally he has been required to tell
his neighbors what he thinks about
statehood Mr.. Smith considers that
the chief danger lies in the proposition
to admit Arizona and New Mexico as
one state, and his view of the situation
is undoubtedly right. Indeed, it MAJ
be said that therein is the only danger.
Postponement of admission from time
to time is, of course, a hardship, and
presents a situation full of exaspera-
lions. But the evil of delay is always
subject to remedy. Consolidation with
New Mexico would be an unreasonable
calamity. We agree with the Tucson
Citizen in the suggestion that the peo-
pie of the territory should organize TO
fight the joint admission scheme, and
action should not be deferred indeA-
nitely. Largely on account of Delegate
Smiths sturdy opposition the merger"
was defeated in the late congress, but
Mr.. Smith will not be able to speak
With the Sdiiie dutlOIity III the iieW
congress-unless the people shall send
him to Washington as a special dele
gate.
Not only will Delegate Wilson be de-
f1cient in influence, but we have no as
surance that he would not fall a victim
to the Establishments of the New Mex
ico democracy. His own paper is on
record as favoring the admission Of
Arizona and New Mexico as one state,
provided only that the constitution Is
submitted to the two territories sep
arately and is adopted by them sep
arately, and Delegate Wilson has not
chosen, SO far. to state views contrary
to those expressed by his paper.
The situation is, in fact, full of dam
ger for Arizona. The compact under
which the three territories acted to-
gether in the Fifty-seventh congress
ended with the last session, and in the
Fifty-eighth congress Oklahoma and
New Mexico will be under no obliga-
ton to aid in protecting the interests of
Arizona. On the contrary, those terri
tories will look after their own in
terests exclusively.
Mr.. Smiths warning words should
have earnest attention throughout
Arizona.

BoorIshness In New fIexicO.

According to the dispatches from
Santa Fee. the Legislature refused to
make any appropriation for the enter
tainment of President Roosevelt, and
to emphasize the fact that boorishness
and not economy prompted their
course. the legislators then defeated
a simple resolution of welcome and
refused to provide for a committee
from the two houses to meet Mr.. Roose-
Welt. The explanation offered on be-
half of these eminent statesmen recites
that they wished to make it clear to
Mr.. Roosevelt that they resented his
failure to support the omnibus state
hood bill, and that with this elemen,
were the Rough Riders. who objected
to dividing with officials the glory
of exploiting the president during his
trip through the territory. We find it
difficult to believe this news from
Santa Fe and hope to learn that it is
without any foundation. But if it is
true, the people of New Mexico I'M
doubtedly feel proud of their legisla-
ture. It is not unusual for territorial
legislatures to do things which put
citizens to shame, but the present
legislature of New Mexico has dis
tanced all competitors if these allega-
lions are true.
What kind of civilization do these
politicians stand for?

of s12O, $685. 43.

To Check DesertiOnS.

For several months it has been no
secret that assertions from the navy
were crippling the service. At times
scores have deserted from a single ship
at 4 time. The causes for this state Of
affairs have been rather obscure. It
has been understood. however that the
strict discipline in force in the navy
does not suit the average young Amer
lean. and especially irritating has been
the close confinement to shipboard,
shore leave being a luxurious rarity.
As a step toward making the service
pleasanter. it has been announced by
the navy department that the enlisted
men of the ships of the battleship
squadron are to have a net leave of
ten days when the vessels are locked
for repairs in about a month and
half. This squadron is made up of the
Kearsarge, the Alabama, the Illinois,
the Massachusetts, the Indiana and the
Iowa. The men on the. Maine also will
have similar leave. When the vessels

they have been during the winter, they
are to be reviewed by Admiral Dewey
and Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the
bureau of navigation, after which lost
of them will proceed to the northern
navy yards for docking and repairs.
1t is explained that the department
feels the men are entitled to this vaca-
ton after their long winters work
Hereafter it will be the aim to allow
the enlisted men two reasonably Ions
vacations each year-one after the win
ter and another after the summer
work is finished. The officials think
minish assertions.
