delegates to the first Pan-American
congress because II felt such meetings
would prove extremely valuable mol
only In effecting the close relations
of the American countries, so much
striven for now, but because 1t was
sure the meeting would be OF great
practical good.
At the Rio congress- OF 1919. wnere
IA countries had representatives, l2O
papers were read. In the coming con-
gress the topics for discussion are
under nine headings: mathematics
physical sciences. natural, anthropo-
logical and chronological sciences, en-
cheering, medical sciences and n.y.
giene, juridical science, social sci
ences, pedagogy and philosophy
agronomy and zooiechnics, which latter
may be called the science of agricul'
ture. The discussions under the head
of social sciences are expected to be
the most important, 40 per cent. Oh
the subjects TO be introduced IN the
congress being grouped under that
title.
At Santiago there will be estab
lished a general clearing house OF
American information. The great bulk
of the work will come under the So
cial sciences, and 2O5 subheads under
that title have been made. 1t Is GER
tain that a good deal more informa'
ton concerning the early history ana
inhabitants of America will become
common knowledge after the congress
closes. Exchange Of ideas on agri'
cultural methods will also be valuable
Among the almost innumerable SUD-
jects to be talked over the most I'M
portant are such as these:
Means which American nations
might employ to properly assimiiate
immigrants to the native element.
The advisability Of introducing the
referendum. Results following re
forms introduced in American coun'
tries for the purpose Of affording the
people a more direct participation IN
public affairs.
Labor. including cooperative build
ing plans, laws to protect women ana
children in Industrial labor, minimum
wages, cooperative loan associations
savings banks, relief societies, labor
exchanges, compulsory Insurance. In.
dustrial schools, social education and
labor unions.
Under engineering some subjects
are: Plans and cages Of interconti'
mental railways, supply OF drinking
water. distribution Of irrigation water
and adoption of Pan-American stan
dard. reinforced concrete construction
railway car lighting and processes ror
concentration Of ores, uses OF nitrate
and discussions of the only source OF
supply, the Chilean fields.
Under agronomy and zootechnics
proposed subjects include preparation
and Improvement Of soils, agricultural
machinery. reforestation, viticulture
and yiniflcation, production Of meat.
fat milk. butter, cheese and wool. ma
chinery for the elaboration and con-
servation of animal products, poultry.
fish culture, parasitical and contagious
diseases of domestic animals, rural
construction, economic elements in az
ricultural production.
When It is considered that we are
far in advance of South America on
some of these matters, while they are
much better informed on others. the
great value of the coming congress to
all the people of the western hemis.
pbere can be appreciated.

oepOpuIated by Sleeping Sickness.

Fajao as a native town was no more.
At hardly any point in Uganda has
the sleeping sickness made such
frightful ravages. At least 5000 per-
sons had perished in the last two
years. Almost the whole population
had been swept away.
Scarcely enough remained to form
the deputation. who in their white
robes could be discerned at the en-
trance to the cleared area Of the
camping ground. And this cleared
area was itself Of the utmost impor-
lance. for all around 1t the powers OF
evil were strong. The groves which
fringed and overhung the river
swarmed with tsetse flies Of newly re-
plenished venom and approved ma

except at a risk.-WinSton Churchill

1 vention.
Various delegations were either hostile or
| lukewarm toward the Governor, but the leaders
of the delegations. for the sake Of harmony and
good faith. refraned from voting against the
report OF the committee which praised the
Governor and instructed the conventions dele
gates
This was notable in the case OF the West
chester delegates. who met at the Hotel Man
haitian before the convention and by unanimous
vote decided TO vote against instructins the
delegates-at-large for the Governor. President
Parsons and State Chairman Woodruff labored
with William L. Ward. head OF the delegation.
and Mr.. Ward and his friends did not vote
against instructions in the convention.
Ex-senator Bracket. president Of the Hughes
State League, was dissatisfied with the tone
Of the resolutions and instructions. asserting
that they were spiritless. and moved a substi-
tute which not only instructed the delegates-at-
large but requested the district delegates
throughout the state 10 work for the nominal
ton Of the Governor until a nomination was
made.
This substitute, after spirited debate by Mr..
Bracket, State Chairman Woodruff, Repre-
sentative Payne, Senator White and Assembly
man Merritt was overwhelmingly rejected.

Woodruff said he was against any change in the

While the vote against the Bracket substi-

strength Of the Governor as the choice of the

solidarity of the state organization.

San Diego. Cal April 1.-THE Atlantic feet
of sixteen battleships to-day began the last part
OF its originally planned cruise from Hampton
Roads TO the Golden Gate. The four divisions
of the fleet weighed anchor at o'clock this
afternoon, and three-quarters Of an hour later
were making their way out of SIagdaleua Bay
in the wake of the flagship Connecticut. on
the flagship was Rear Admiral Charles NJ
Thomas, who began the journey to the Pacific in
command Of the second squadron, but who was
promoted to chief command during the enforced
absence OF Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans.
Sailing in single column formation, accord
ing dispatches, the ships passed Sail Rock,
and rounding Entrada Point, one of the head
lands marking the gateway the harbor. turned
in a long circle to the north. The six black
hulled destroyers Of the torpedo iotiIla gave
parting salute TO the big white vessels, and the
stay Of the American batteships in the Mexican
bay was at end.
An easy journey Of GO miles lies before the
feet, which is scheduled to anchor of Coronado
Beach at / o'clock OH Tuesday afternoon. Ad-
miral Thomas has allowed slxty-nine hours for
the run up the coast. requiring an average speed
OF only nine knots The ships left Mag
daIena the usual cruising speed OF ten knots
however. and VIII slow down during the latter
part Of the journey. The early hour OF depart
was fixed to guarantee against the posi-
bility Of delay in fog.
When the ships reach San Diego they will
have made 1859 knots since their departure
from Hampton Roads, on Decemeber 16 last
The Connecticut has i ,240- knots additional to
her credit account Of the trip this port
last week to bring Admiral Evans ashore and
her subsequent return to Magdalena Bay
Every coast city from San Diego TO San Fran
cisco is to see the fleet during the next four
weeks. # having been arranged that at all points
where no stop is scheduled the ships Will pass
as close to shore possible, always being well
within the range of vision Of persons gathered
to view them. Preparations for the four days
stay of the ships at San Diego are complete.
The city is gayly decorated with flags and pa
triotic bunting. fund Of nearly $4,000 has
been raised for the entertainment Of the officers
and men. Interest in the coming Of the ships
is intense. the strong personal sentiment being
reflected in the banners which wave a welcome

Low TAXES, LARGE COMMERCE
WANTED. !.

Taxation and commerce are the two
great problems of government, and the
duty of craftsmanship is to keep one
at the lowest and the other at the high
est level.
All parties admit that to support the
great expense of the national govern
ment we must maintain tariff duties.
The Republican party contends that in
fixing such taxes the purpose should
be to protect manufacturers with reve-
nue. as an incident thereto. The Demo-
cratic party contends that in fixing the
tax the purpose should be to raise reve-
nue with protection only as an incident.
If the Republican principle prevails, as
it does now, the tariff duties are so
adjusted asto raise the smallest amount
of revenue and furnish the highest
amount of protection. In other words,
the duties are so adjusted as to give
out of the sum paid by the people on
account Of tariff taxes the smallest
possible amount to the general govern
ment, and the largest amount to the
protected manufacturer. By this
policy, manufacturers are at first

EMIT MAKES PREDICTION.

From Saturdays Daily.
One Of Twohy Bros superintend-
ents predicts that the tracklaying on
the Billings & Northern railroad will
be completed to Laurel, the junction
point Of the Northern Pacific, about
July rs, or perhaps earlier.
Tracklaying has been progressing
at the rate Of from one to two miles q
day recently. Last week the track
laying crew was about ~ miles from
Laurel, and it was from this that the
prediction was made by the con.
tractors superintendent.
Twohy Bros grading outfit is still
on the line Of railroad at points from
10 to 20 miles north Of Billings and
as soon as the track Is laid to Laurel
will be loaded on the cars and
shipped here. To move the outfit over
land would cost III the neighborhood
Of $4,000, and for this reason the con-
tractors are waiting until the track
Is laid and q train run over the line
before moving their outfit.
