NEW REPUBLICAN DAILY
Directors of tire Proposed Tar HeeI''
Issue a Statement.
Especial to The Messenger.)


Greensboro, n. c., July lone of
the results of the meeting OF the board
of directors of the Tar Heel daily, pro-
posed to be established here by the
members of the Republican party who
are following the lead of Congressman
Blackburn as opposed TO the so-callcd
or alleged State Chairman ROLLING
Butler-Federal ofice-holding ring, was
the issuance of a statement to all Re
publicans in North Carolina, signed BY
the president of the III. L..
Grant, General Manager r.. Don Laws,
Congressman Blackburn and the other
directors, announcing that the paper
would begin publication as soon as the
material could be placed, and that "R.
Don Laws has full power to prosecute
the work Of securing subscriptions to
the paper, and to the stock of said Tar
Heel Publishing Company" Referring
to the Roliins-Butler paper, The IN
dustrial News, also to be published
from Greensboro, the Statement" dis
claims emphaticaily any responsible
ty for Its organization, which rumors
OF a consolidation with that publica-
ton would imply for any such ac,
would be impossible, since every re-
Spouse, out Of thousands from Repub-
licans all over the state has been
against any remote connection other
than a subscription to the stock Of
the Dolly Tar Heel.
The statement brands all reports
OF such consolidation as false. aad
uses peppery sarcasm on the alleged.
ofice-holding promoters Of the Indus
trial News, concluding with an appeal
to all Republicans to join In the Tar
Heel daily purpose to build up a de
cent majority party in the state.

TREAT THE MATTER CALMLY.

Under the above heading The Ga
zette-Messenger of Washington, y. c.,
On the 29th published an editorial re-
garding one of the evils of society,
takes such a commonsense view of
b a evil and of the proper remedy to
suppress it that we here give it in
full. This editorial is very timely in
view of the recent events which have
so stirred the press and the people
i'll all sections of the state.
We know that a great many OF the
best people of the country who have
given much thought to the question Of
how this crime should be treated and
as to the best way to suppress it hold
similar views to those expressed in this
editorial. We think it worth reading
and well considering.
This is Il delicate and a difficult ques-
ton to handle. All men who oppose
radical measures and heroic treatment
for this crime cannot be classed as OPP
ponentS Of proper measures for its
suppression. Because they do not agree
with the rabid and extremists who
hold that enforcement of stringent
criminal laws will wipe out this crime
they are not to be classed as cOunte-
RANGING it's existence. One class of
our people want to make men and wO-
mon yirf1nuc MINDED INV nnonfinr on6
attempting to enforce laws against
private immortality. The others, who
dc not believe that you can make peO-
pie moral and v%irtuous by statute,
while opposing all classes of immoral
ity, still entertain a feeling of pity for
the poor fallen women and think that
greater good can be done them by
moral suasion and an effort to reach
their blunted and debauched sensibili-
ties, (at the same time keeping in
proper bounds those who are inclined
to Overstep the bounds and force
themselves upon public attention or
violate the laws enacted for the peace
and protection of the general public)
rather than by bounding them down
and through the harshest treatment
drive them further from the ways of
decency and morality. OF the latter
class are the people. interested in the
establishment of Crittenden homes for
fallen women throughout the land.
The editorial referred to says.

Queensland. Mr.. Corrie thinks that If
was probably introduced into this Ter
ritory from there, as it is an old pest
with them.
On August 18th, Mr.. D. L. Van Dine.
Federal Experiment Station Entomol-
ogist notified me of his discovery in
two districts of this island of the Man
go curculio (Cryptorhynchus mangf-
fenae). Mr.. Austin and L visited the
infected district, but found that the
mango crop was over. We, howe YER
found some dry seeds under the trees
and in cutting these open found few
larvae and beetles. We suggested 20
the manager the advisability of having
all dry seed collected and burned. The
only damage, as 1 am informed, is the
injury to the seed preventing it from
being used for planting. Another sea-
son steps will be taken to ascertain
the extent of injury to the fruit and
if it can be exterminated This beetle is
found in India. I understand mango
trees We're introduced from that coun-
try a few years ago, but it could have
been introduced in fruit.
Forest and other trees and plants
distributed by your Forestry Division
for planting on the other islands have
been fumigated with hydrocyanic acid
gas by Mr.. Austin before shipment
This has been done to guard against
any possible infection being carried to
other districts. Similar stock sent to
other sections on Oahu have also been
treated.
The Federal Government under the
supervision of Mr.. Gerrit P Wilder has
undertaken the reclamation of several
small sandy islands of this group by
planting cocoanut trees, casuarina, and
other trees and plants. AT my sug-
gestion, Mr.. Wilder had the plants
hauled to one of our fumigating rooms
where we treated them. The U.SS. Iro-
quois was commissioned to transport
the trees. Your Division of Forestry
furnished the forest trees.
I am pleased to repeat the successful.
establishment of the egg parasite OF
the Torpedo bug" (Siphanta acuta).
Messrs. Koebele and Perkins discov-
cred this parasite in Queensland and
succeeded in having a few reach us
alive. We liberated them upon infest-
ed trees. Recently Mr.. Kotinsky and
collected parasitized Siphanta eggs and
colonized them in an extensive coffee
plantation. Colonies of the parasites
have also been sent to other districts
where the Torpedo bugs" are in in
furious numbers. The good work of
this parasite is very evident where they
were bred and we feel that an effective
check to that pest has been establish
ed. Respectfully submitted.

OR. McLAUGHLIN'S ELECTRIC BELT

Division of Forestry turned out. The
credit for extinguishing this fire be-
longs to the fremen of Palama Sta
ton and to Mr.. Krauss and his assist
ants from the Kamehameha school. Had
this fire not been stopped where it was
the damage might have been very con-
siderable, for a short distance above
its upper limits began belt of Stag
horn fern which might have carried
the fire we'll up into the mountain.
In accordance with a regulation pass
ed by the Board at the meeting held
June Sth. Forest Fire Warning Notices
We're prepared and printed on cloth in
English. Hawaiian, Portuguese and
Japanese. These notices have been
very generally distributed throughout
the Territory and posted in conspicu-
Gus places. / believe that calling public
attention in this way to the fact that
there is fores fire law providing pen
alties for careless and wanton use of
fire will have a beneficial effect.
Of the work at the Nursery special
mention may be made of the recently
erected seed testing house which was
completed early in July. In this house
careful experiments and termination
tests of rare or exotic seed can be sue
cessfully carried on, which has nos
been possible heretofore.
An active interest is being taken in
the celebration of the first Territorial
Arbor Day on November Bird. Assert
ments of plants are being prepared to
be sent out to the several schools
throughout the Territory in co-opera-
ton with the Board of Education.
Trees for street and other planting are
also being furnished for use on Arbor
Day to Improvement Associations and
individuals. Many requests for advice
and assistance have been answered by
the Forest Nurseryman during the
summer as well as variety of in
quiries upon general agricultural sub
jects.
The following sums We're received
during the past few months from the
sale of seeds and plants from the
Nursery:

Nine dollars $4,000 of the amount
received in August was for II cords
of dead wood, the result of a clearance
cutting in the Government portion of
the Tantalus. forest.
A consignment of some 900 copies of
the 1903 Year Book of the U. 5. Depart
ment of Agriculture received from the
Delegate, Hon. j. K. Kalanianaole,
was distributed during August and
September from this office in response
to applications.
The Library and the Museum room
are constantly receiving accessions.
Among the most important additions to
the Library are the books belonging
to the old Government Library trans
ferred by the Governors direction from
the Library of the Historical Associa-
ton. From the mainland, State and
q. s. Departmental reports bearing on
all branches of agriculture are now
coming in regularly, as are also SINH
lar reports from the Australian States,
the West Indies and the Orient.
In this connection I would respect
fully call the attention of the board
to the desirability of increasing the
shelf room in the Library. I would
suggest that the present box window
seats lining two sides of the Library
be replaced by book shelves with glass
doors, similar to those in the other
rooms. Considerable shelf room could
thus be obtained and much of the
present waste space would be thereby
utilized.
The Library room of the board has
been used as follows for evening meet
ings of the Hawaiian chronological
Society, June 90, July 10, August 8,
September IA. October 5.
Since July / the room on the Eva
side of the building. between the Mu-
scum and the office of the Superintend-
ent of Entomology has been fitted up
for use by DR.. Norgaard, Territorial
Veterinarian.
On October Is Miss Melika Peterson
returned from the Coast after a long
leave of absence Her place during
the summer has been taken by Miss
Ella Dayton, to whom the board is in
debted for careful and conscientious
work. Miss Dayton turned the office
over to Miss Peterson with the routine
work fully brought up to date and in
good condition.
Very respectfully,
RALPH S. HOSMER,
