Washington. June 6.-Argentina Is

agreed on for the third Pan.American
congress to be held in Rio Janeiro in

skill of which Secretary Root Is pos
sessed to prevent the withdrawal of
several OF the Latin-American nations
from the congress.
The Draso doctrine Is the cause Of
Argsntlna's grievance.
1t was the desire of Portela, the Ar

trine should be one of the subjects
considered at the Rio Janeiro con.
gress. This doctrine, which was
promulgated by the celebrated Ar.
gentine jurist, L. F. Drago, at the
time of the Venezuelan blockade by
Germany. Great Britain and Italy,
holds that
Force can not be Used by one pow
sr to collect money owed to Its elti-

The committee on programme for
the congress submitted the subject
10 a way unsatisfactory to Argentina
and Drago, who was named by Ar
gentlna as one of its delegates to the
Rio Janeiro congress. is reported to
have announced that he does not care
to attend and participate in the dis

GETTING RID OF A PEST.

So far as is known the mosquito
pest OF the northwest is not RESPONSE
BILE for any disease. as is the case in
the south where yellow fever and ma
lai'ia have been proven to be the re-
suit Of the bites of the pest.
In those sections of the country and
especially in Cuba where the annual
scoura%e OF yellow foyer WAS due to
them. the pest has been practically eN-
terminated
for the exceeding healthfuness of our
climate that the people of the north
west would suffer from the diseases
spread by the insects as seriously as
they do elsewhere.
AT any rate it would not he bad
policy to carry on a campaign OF ey
termination. The task is somewhat
large ii is True. but not larger than
that OF Riding the south or Cuba. The
same methods could be used and be-
cause of the far smaller water area
could be done much more cheaply.
1t is the prevalent idea that the
grass of the praires is the breeding
place OF these insects. But it is not
correct. They cannot propagate en-
cept in water The larvae are deposit
ed in the slonghs and coulees and the
insects are Matched there. They do
not find lodging in the grass until
| they are fully matmren
| If every farmer would cover the
water area on his farm at the proper
time with kerosene the annual hatch
would be largely destroyed, and as
they are short lived insects very
| few years would serve to eyterminate
them.
Ii there was nothing more than the
comfort to man and beast to be de
rivet. from the work it would we'll re-
pay the trouble, for life is often made
| miserable because OF the ANNOYANCE
OF these insect denominations.

TOO MUCH MONEY, TOO LITTLE
BRAINS.

The brother of Stanford White, who
was shot to death at New York by
Harry Thaw says the trouble with the
latter was that he had too much mon
ey and too little brains" This seems
to explain the whole case in a nut
shell. Regardless of how much White
may have deserved his fate which be-
lel4 MN the fact remains that when
fhaW took the law into his own hands
and slew the man against whom he had
or fancied he had grievance, he per-
petrated a serious offense against So
ciety as whole, and one for which he
should be punished, just the same as
any ordinary criminal, without rich
and influential friends to back him I'M
in his fight to escape the penalty.
Brought up in life of luxury and ease.
pampered and petted and encouraged
to indulge in luxurious vices and es-
capades, Thaw himself is little more
than useless appendage to society
His associates and even his wife were
from the same class of moral perverts
to which belonged the man who
crossed his path, and by some offense
OF personal conduct aroused the re-
sentiment of young Thaw until the lat
ter thrust pistol in his face and took
his life. Perhaps White got only what
he deserved, but this does not mini
mize the offense of Thaw or offer a suf-
ficient justification of his bloody deed.
Sentimental sympathy seems to be
veering to his side because White was
such dad" man. but it will be pity
If Thaw escapes the penalty on this
score.
There were other ways by which
Thaw could have shielded himself and
his wife from the attentions of White
to the latter, and to condone his brutal
murder of White will simply encourage
an outbreak of similar crimes in all

forerunners OF the present ones. The
grain, chaff and straw We're all thrown
out together and were separated by
means of rakes and forks operated by
men.
The grain was ground in mills run
by water power. The grinding ma
chinery consisted of two large circular
stones one of which was stationary
while the other revolved, crushing the
kernels between them. There was no
such thing as treating the grain before
| grinding or taking part OF the seed
| for one grade or flour and another
| part for another grade
| The transportation was as crude as
the methods of farming. There was no
means of reaching the markets except
by sailing vessels, SO that there was no
chance to dispose of the products en-
cept the producer was near navigable
water. In Virginia where there was
considerable tobacco growing, the
leaves of the plant were packed in
immense hogsheads which were rolled
TO the wharfs on the Potomac.
Travelling was done by stage coach
which made thirty miles a day. The
guns were loaded from the muzzle and
the powder was ignited by means of a
flint which was struck by the hammer
of the gun. They were all made by
hand.
