TEACHING AGRICULTURE.

The Agricultural College, which will soon take form, has a useful mission

of the obstacles to the small farmer in this Territory is the want of general

ignorance about soil values about diseases of the leaf an about methods of
curing Such knowledge it would be the business OF the new college to impart
At such al Institution a farmer ought to be able, when pests assail his crops
or his and does not respond to husbandry, to find tut how TIC cure the trouble,
just as the planters, in like emergencies, go to their Experiment Station.
There are far fewer crop pests here than there are N the mainland. but over
conditions here. The College of Agriculture will dispose of the pest bogns
an teach people how to dispose of the pests themselves.
Another needed service which the college will perform-indeed the service
most needed-is to educate young me- in the science of the soil and in the
practical knowledge of usbandry Such young men, taking hold of Jaw land
here an making it fruitful, cn lot but have a powerful influence upon white
immigration. They will set the needed examples in all Investigations of

SALOONS AND ARRESTS.

Mr. ockine,s contention that a tow With saloons commits less crime
than me without, is not what might be called impressive. Nor is it strength
end by the citation of one arrest in Portland, Me-, a prohibition city, for
every III IF the population, to one arrest in Milwaukee, a beerdrinking town,
for every 142 of he population. These statistics simply mean that in Portland
the enforcemen of the law is strong, while in Milwaukee it is weak. But
why g 30 far for a illustration? There are more arrests per capha-fa
more rrests-in Honolulu under he Iaukea administration of police than hereI

The present. time. is more orderly than it was a year ago when arrests weret

but it is more likely to demonstrate the quality o. the police. 1t Isl
highly significant that seh quality should be higher in a prohibition city than
in enc with many drinking places. T.

London is again suffering from demonstrations of the unemployed. There
is 10 doubt that there are persons in the great metropolis who are unable to
obtain employment. But there are also, not only there, nut everywhere else,
thousands who, because they can not have the sort OF employment they prefer,
will do nothing at all. In the United States it is now nearly impossible to
get men to do what are called - chores, - to nov lawns, and make repairs that
do not require much skill. Yet such labor commands from twenty TO twenty
