With the determination 10 continue
the association, there seemed TO come
considerable enthusiasm, and the re-
mainder Of the proceedings were car
ried on with much spirit.
The receipts since the last annual
meeting two years ago have been

LIVE STOCK PESTS.
At the afternoon session, D. L. Van
Dine read a preliminary report on the
insects affecting the live stock indus
try of Hawaii. The report is based on
the work and Investigations of Mr..
Van Dine and of DR.. Norgaard. Speci-
mems of all these insects, mounted and
in a case were shown. They include
two species of blow fly lately discover
ed, and in all twelve species of true
flies. The horn fly leads in Importance.

to the United States in 1885 or perhaps
as late as the spring of 1886. Two
lines of control work have been studied.
One is by the Introduction of its nat
ural enemies, which is still in the ex-
perimental stage. But while this is the
ideal way the rancher cannot neglect
other direct measures of control, said
Mr.. Van Dine. In Texas where the
subject has been studied under the
direction of DR.. Howard, chief of the
Bureau of Entomology of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, it has been found
that it is directly affected by temper
allure and moisture. During the long,
dry summer it is reduced ninety-five
per cent because conditions of breed
ing are not so good. The Introduction
of insectiverous birds had been con-
sidered. The introduction of the tur-
key buzzard was being considered to
eat the bodies of all dead cattle to
prevent the breeding of blow flies in
them. But of true insectivorous birds
there were suitable species in Califor-
MIA which would be brought down as
soon as a method of feeding them en-
route could be devised. These would
do great deal toward reducing the
flies by the numbers they would de-

way of disappearing. There is plenty OF
confirmatory testimony on both sides.
Coeducation seems to be firmly estab-

Women are forcing their way into tech

their presence has hitherto been un-

the sexes is gaining some ground, also.
Men simply desert schools and colleges
where women become so numerous as TO
have that influence over the courses and
methods OF study aptly termed feminiza-

President Hall says. is rapidly tending
toward belief in the separation of the
sexes in school life and a differentiation
In their education as more conformable to
their respective needs in normal adult life.
No mere array of masculine opinion,
however. is likely to avail aught in re-

OF the stand-pat order. The passage OF
those independence resolutions. which
Mr.. Taft anticipated would be the first act
OF the native legislature, has been post
poned until after the Secretarys depart

vice was dispensed. many grievances
aired, some promises made. Mr.. Tafts
visit has inspired new hopes both here
and In the Philippines. In the light of
his CHEEKY optimism. the problem Of gov

soil with a head fun OF secret under

anxiety abroad to pay honor to a dis
tinguished member of a very potable ad-

Not an Artistic Failure

Says the Kenosha CWis.) News:
That jamestown Exposition has one record any
way. Il is the most colossal failure Of any Of the
big expositions"
Perhaps the jamestown Exposition may
Justly be termed a failure" so far as
financial success Is concerned, but GER
tainly II is a failure in no other sense
Of the word. On the contrary. II is one
of the most beautiful and complete ex-
positions ever offered in this country, and
far outstrips many that have not Jared
so badly as 70 money matters. Those
who fail 10 see IT are not to be congratu-
lated it is well worth many days jour
ney.
That the exposition has played in IL
luck IS most true. For some unaccount-
able reason. its misfortunes have been
seized upon by a section of the outside
press and used to its undOing. II has
been ridiculed to the point that even the
wOuld-be funny men in some Of the
musical comedies have taken the matter
up and pushed il along.
To The Washington Herald this attitude
is incomprehensible. The State of Vir-
ginia is part and parcel of Americas most
sacred and glorious ground. The Mother
of Presidents and one Of the original
thirteen States" her people are proud
and loyal The jamestown Exposition
should have brought forth rejoicing and
patronage by all America.

think, however. that the exposition Is a

success. this jamestown show is far, far

II is difficult to gather from the Amer

will be the candidate Of his party at the
next Presidential election He Is un-
doubtedly very popular. and so apparently
is his policy. both foreign and domestic.
on the other hand. there Is a tradition
against any President enjoying a third
term OF Office. To this, however. the reply
is that Mr. Roosevelt only served a por-
tiOn Of his first term, and was not elected
10 IL, but succeeded TO II on the death of
the then President. He himself has an
nounced that he viii not accept a nomi-
nation 10 a third term OF Office. But too
