Ant to XIII weeviI.

There now seems to be a reasonable
probability that nature has placed in
the hands of man an agency that will
relieve the cotton growers of the
Southern States of a great measure of
their anxiety for the protection of
crops against the ravages of the boil
weeviI. Mr.. o. F. Cook. a botanist of
the Agricultural Department reports
that he has found in Guatemala an ant
that preys upon the pests of the cotton
field. So sure is the Department of the
inestimable value of this discovery that
it has authorized Mr. Cook to COM
mand any needed assistance in money
or men. It is not claimed for the ant
that it exterminates the weeVil. but in
its native haunts it succeeds in limiting
their numbers to a degree that slight,
if any, damage to the growing cotton
is effected. Less than a week ago the
Agricultural Department took an alb
solutely hopeless view of it's attempt to
save the staple crop of the South from
threa tened ruin. 1t was reported that
every expedient applied up to that time
had failed utterly. and unless some
remedy could be found every cotton
growing section north of the Gulf of
Mexico would be at the mercy of the
weeV1. The pecuniary loss already
inflicted is estimated in the millions of
dollars; hence the reported discovery
by Professor Cook, even if results will
not fully justify sanguine expecta-
tions, will be acclaimed as something
like a providential dispensation. The
Guatemalan ant. it seems, is relief
rather than cure, but as it robs the
weevil of its power of wholesale de-
struction..it will come as a blessing to
the cotton grower. 1t is to be hoped.
however, that it will not follow in the
path of the English sparrow, which in
some respects is a worse evil than the
worm which it was brought here to
exterminate.-New York Trade Review.

WEEKLY Discussion Of
PROPOSED COUNTY ACT
An Address On the Subject by the Secretary
of the Commission Question of Hearing
From the Public Discussed

Iature, may take a hand in the work OF
administering it honestly and ethcl-
emily.
Between the two cIasses-one .deslr-
ing an unlimited act, embracing every
department usually under local con-
troll, and the other a simple act, not
embracing, at the start, every DEPART
ment usually under local control, there
must be compromise, if We are 10 pro-
coed without congressional ratification.
THE thoughtful address to this COM
mission by Mr.. Chairman Cooper has
commanded wide and serious attention,
because of the danger to county gov
eminent, which seems to him to lie in
several provisions of the organic act.
''There is a widespread feeling, that,
in the light of Mr.. Cooper's statement,
and in view of the spirit of the deci-
sion of our Supreme Court-nullifying
the county act of 1903 it is doubtful if
under the organic act the people can
elect county boards; and, further, that
it is doubtful if the legislature can alb
solutely surrender territorial property
to the counties Other matters are also
held to be of doubtful character in the
relationship between county govern
ment and the organic act.
f'Of course, we can meet and over
come these objections If they be well
founded, by drawing separate acts, and
recommending that they be submitted
to Congress for ratification.
But we cannot escape the fact, that
the organic act is our constitution. All
our laws must conform to It. The oh
lection urged against a board of su-
pervisors elected by the people is con-
tanned in Section 80 of the organic act,
which provides that, the governor
shall nominate, and by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate of
the Territory of Hawaii, appoint "
members of the board of
health, commissioners of public in
struction, board of prison inspectors,
board of registration and inspectors Of
election, and any other boards IF a
public character that may be created
by law"
'I believe that this provision applies
to be no other conclusion possible, if
we read this provision in connection
with the whole of Section so and Section
Sc, which latter section provides, That
the Legislature may create counties and
town and city municipalities within the
Territory of Hawaii and provide for the
government thereof
"But as there is always the other
side in legal Interpretation, our Su-
preme Court could hold the view that
the governor, under the Organic Act,
must appoint all county boards. In the
event of such an opinion, the county
act drawn by US would be nullifed.
"A serious question, therefore, arises
as to whether or not it would be wise
for us to draw an act based upon an
elective county board, when the chances
are that it may go up against Section
so, and be wrecked.
''And therein lies the difficulty of our
work. The demand for county govern
ment springs from a desire of the peo-
pie to manage their own affairs through
their own chosen representatives. If
the strict construction possible to be
given to Section so is sound, then this

At its meeting last night the County
Act Commission learned from state
ment made by T. McCants Stewart that
there are serious snags in the way OF
framing a county government act
which will stand the test of the courts
The Commission decided before pro-
ceeding with the framing of the act to
listen to the views of all citizens VINO
NAV wish to attend their meetings
with reference to the particular points
which stand in the way of the trainers
of the act.
The meeting was attended by Chair
man H. E. Cooper, F. w. Beckley, l.
McCants Stewart, c. L. Crabbe, and
E. NJ. Watson, and Secretary Avery.
Mr.. Stewards address was as follows:
-NThere are several classes of citizens
to be considered in framing county
act, namely: % Those who are OPP
posed to county government on the
ground, (a) that it is not wanted by
the tax payers, OBJ that it will increase
taxes, and Co that the present central
lied government is all we need for our
small area and population; and (dl
we'll 90 Those who are opposed to
county government on the grounds
above stated, and on the further
ground, that they do not believe in
the capacity OF the majority of our
people to conduct an economical and
efficient county government. (3) Fhose
who, being Numerically opposed 10 the
above described classes, favor a coun-
ty government, similar to the most ad-
vanced systems of the States, cover
ing schools, health and every other de-
partment usually found under local
control. (4) Those who favor a simple
form of county government to start
with one that the people can easily
support and conduct, and which can be
enlarged, as we grow in experience
holding that we should do like young
married people, who start house-keep-
ing in a small house, and add addi-
lions from time to time.
sit will be impossible to meet the
views of these different classes, espe-
cially where it is commended; % that
county government is not wanted by
the taxpayers. and ca that the people
have not the capacity for it. 1t is
matter of regret that We have these
latter objections facing us on the TIRES
hold of our duties. But as all the poll
teal parties of our territory have de-
cfared themselves in favor of county
government, and as this commission
was created by unanimous vote of
the legislature, We have to ignore these
objections as to undesirability and in
capacity, and go ahead with our work
with the hope that these last named
objections may be abandoned, and that
the people who now urge them may
help US to frame an acceptable county
act and after it is passed by the legis
