Bruce Chesterman. his chief clerk, over
him as far as possible.
To answer the criticism made OF me
by the executive committee seriatim. I
was allowed several years ago a small
allowance as treasurer. but when the
Acknowledgement decided that there
was no authority for 1t, I returned
every dollar that had been given me
by the board. and the next Legisla
ture Increased my salary more than
the board had allowed. and there were
only two votes In the General Assem-
bly, against this Increase.
My daughter was stenographer and
did her work well. the work being so
heavy as to break down her health.
The board stated what her salarS
should be, which was less than paid
in the Department of Agriculture In
any other Southern state. The CORE
spondence In the Office has always been
heavy. and is gradually increasing
from year to year.
There is now no pure food inspector
to travel overt the State and watch for
the sale of adulterated food and feeds,
The chemist cannot do work in the
laboratory and inspect the State. The
Legislature made an additional appro-
priation for the purpose of having
the people from fraud.
AS to Buying Books.
The report states that j had gone
beyond my rights In buying books and
subscriptions to magazines. Is not this
a straw In criticizlng my work. have
only bought two books during the past
year, both new on agricultural sub
jects. / am always endeavoring to
keep our farmers posted on anything
new in agriculture. These two books
are the property Of the Department of
Agriculture. I have subscribed for
two magazines--one Country Life and
one called Farming-both for the pur
pose of getting anything that may be
helpful to our farmers. There were
other books bought by the chief chem
list for use, in tho laboratory work
/ have been criticized for giving the
press tho work of the board. l have
only given to the papers news as to the
work OF the Department of Agriculture.
When the people elect an official they
have a right to know the work that
is being done. and the press that car
ries the doings Of the State into every
neighborhood is the great medium that
should be used.
l have been in harmony with our
Polytechnic Institute, at Blacksburg,
and have mentioned that school in
many OF my annual reports. Some of
the faculty of that school are my
warm friends.

UNITED STATES AT HAGUE
YEACE CONFERENCE.

This country had added more honor
to herself by advocating at the great
international convention now being
held at Hague. that no nation shall
go to war before trying to maintain
peace through submitting the cause.
to court of arbitration. This prop
osition is meeting the approval of a
majority of the countries represented
at the gathering. Some of the most
powerful governments of Europe how
ever object and it is doubtful whether
in the end the proposition will have
place IN the completed work of the
conference The United States has
however given its assent to the idea
and will of course be governed by it
IN the future. When one considered
the horrors of war, the suffering to
the men and women and even the
brute creation in its horrible carnage,
he is impelled to cast the full weight
of his voice and pen in favor of all
means to avoid it. Our citizens are
proud of being connected with a
country which is the leader in re-
form which will look to the abolish
ment of war as means of settling
misunderstanding between nations
