There is a mixed situation growing
out of the news of Professor Gilmore's
acceptance. President Cooper, of the
Board of Regents. wired President
Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell
University asking him to recommend
a man for president Of the Hawai-!
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts. President Schurman recon-
mended Professor ]. w. Gilmore of the
PENNSYLVANIA State College. Shorty
after this Messrs. Hosmer and Gartiey,
of the Board of Regents, left for the
East under instructions TO see Prof.
Gilmore and the latter was so notlne1.
Gilmore, however. seems to have taken
this notification for an offer and ac-
cepted it forthwith. There is no cvi-
dence that HOSmer and Gartley had
seen him, nor that they had seen DR..
Earle. another presidential possibility,
whom they had been cabled to also
consult. Advices from Messrs. Gartley
and Hosmer have not arrived and it is
supposed the TWO gentlemen have been
too busy with the work the Governor
has cut out for them to have time
for anything more. They were ex-
nected to make a choice between Dr.
Earle and Prof. Gilmore and conmu-

ROOT ON ARBITRATION.
Il think the work Of the Second
Hague Conference, which is mainly
embodied in these Conventions, pre-
sents the greatest advance ever made
at any single time toward the reason
able and peaceful regulating of inter-
national conduct, unless it be the ad-
vance made at The Hague Conference
of 1893. The most valuable result OF
the Conference of 1899 was that il made
possible the work of the Conference of
1907. The achievements OF the two Con-
ferences Justify the belief that the
world has entered upon an orderly pro-
cess through which. step BY step, in
successive conferences. each taking the
work of its predecessor as its point Of
departure. there may be continual
progress toward making the practice oI
civilized nations conform to their
peaceful professions. ."-EIihu Root, Sec
