It looks like universal war on tho
mosquito. The example set by Amer.
leans. who in clearing out breeding
places of the insects have also les.
sened dangers of disease. is being fol.
lowed elsewhere. while some novel
methods have been adopted. Italy.
for instance, is introducing into its
waters an Australian fish which Is
crcdited with an insatiate appetite
for mosquito larvae. This may keep
down the mosquito population. but
It will not cxterminate the pest. The
most reliable way has been found to
drain the marshy places where the
insects propagate most freely. Many
localities where mosquitoes formerly
abounded have been almost wholly
freed from the unwelcome creatures
by this means. with corresponding in.
crease in the health and comfort Of
residents.

Again comes the startling news
from England that women are becom.
ing taller and more masculine and
that men are shrinking and losing
their Drawn. That woman is intellec.
tually, spiritually and morally superior
to the opposite sex. Marie Corelli long
ago informed US. New women. equal
suffragists and politicians with a fe.
male constituency hail all this as q
sure sign Of human progress. Yet
men Of science inform us that the
lower the grade Of animal life. the
smaller and more insignificant the
male and the more dominant the fe-
male. At the starting point-so far
as we know 1.-THE female principle
only is findable. Is the race retro

TAFT TALKS ON RACE PROBLEM
Believes Negro 10 Essential to the
Welfare Of the South.

Lexington. Ky.-Secretary Taft
opened the Republican state campaign
here with speech on the race prob
lem. He said that the South's lack OF
representation in the councils OF the
nation was due to the fact that n single
Issue has made 1t the property OF the
Democratic party SO that, however
small the northern head, 1t controls
that tail.
THE negro" said Mr.. Taft. "is nec-
essary to the South as laborer-
skilled and unskilled. He Is an Ameri-
can. He has no other country than
this. and when called upon to defend
1t he lays down his life with the same
freedom that the white man sacrifices
his. Ours is the flag he loves-the
only one he knows.
1T Is our duty to see to 1t that his
path is made as easy as possible, and
that his progress is as incessant as
proper encouragement can make It.
"The fifteenth amendment does not
require that every negro should vote.
All that 1t requires Is that he should
not be excluded from voting because
he is negro. II he lacks educational
qualifications, property qualifications
or any other qualification that the
state may lawfully impose as a rule
Of eligibility for Its voters, then he
may be excluded, provided that every.
one else who lacks similar Qualihca-
tions is equally excluded.
"The fifteenth amendment does not
involve so-called negro domination;
and to permit the question at this late
date-forty years after the war-to
control the votes Of intelligent men in
respect to the issues that are living.
is to indicate lack Of sense Of proper.

of the southern states. including Ken

real sympathies of the voters of those

Of his administration. 97
"As an American citizen and lover
OF my country, long for the time
when the South shall be received again
into the councils of the nation and
when the people of that section shall
resume the influence to which they are
entitled and which they deny them
