PLANT ENEMY
OF MOSQUITO

The mosquito pest, which has again
become a problem to be considered by
the Board of Health, may be solved
by the importation of plant that is
said to possess the rather extraordinary
power of killing off mosquitoes in some
what summary fashion, particularly
when it is planted in swamps and other
places where the mosquito is given
to breeding.
President Mott.Smith of the Board
of Health has sent letter on the sub
ject to the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry, and that body has turned the
communication over to Superintendent
Hosmer for research and Investigation
with view of importing the plant for
use in the Territory of Hawaii.
Doubt About Name.
The name of the plant is "arzollaa,
according to the President of the Board
of Health, but Superintendent HssmsI
states that he is inclined to believe
that "arzollaa is simply an alias, and
the work of investigation has been com
plicated by inability, up to the present
time, of securing the true scientific
designation of the enemy of the mos
quito family.
The discovery of the efficacy of the
plant in connection with eliminating
the mosquito pest is attributed to the
research work of German scientist
and it is considered probable thai il
the virtues of the plant are as numer
Gus as declared, its cultivation in the
swamps on the island of Oahu will g
long way toward eliminating the mos
quito.
Superintendent Hosmer expects to re
port on the plant and its possibilities
in the near future.

An exchange tells US that out
at Sa1ina' there were a good many
weed patches on the vacant lots
and quite . howl was bling
raised about it. No one paid
any attention, however, to the
fuss, and the weeds kept on grow
ing. Finally one man cut down
his weeds and right in the mid
die of the patch found a bottle
full of good whiskey. Within "a
hours after the news got out all
the weeds in town were cut down,
and some of the people, so tits
said, were pulling up the old
stumps, and searching on their
hands and knees for something.
In Chetopa the weeds are being
cut by the city, but we publish

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of q severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits Is to write to
those who have used it. Get a

it all according to directions. and
if it does not benefit he win re-

THE GAME COMMISSION
Seeks to Establish Dynasty Controlled
by Political Dictator.

The object of President Miller of the
Game Commission seems to be to estab-
lish system. of blue laws or kind of
dynasty or feudalism under which the
game and fish will be owned or con-
trolled by a political dictator, or the
party in power and control of the gov
ernment We do not believe that the
Legislature will sanction such law or
set up any such scheme of government.
Homer Guardian Journal.
The Legislature, if it will do its full
duty to the people, will repeal the law
creating the Game Commission, and by
this action President Miller will be re-
iieved of his dictatorship.
After having given the Game Com
mission fair test, its failure to dc
what was expected of it, as protection
to game, has been demonstrated practi,
cally, and therefore it should be abol
ished.
The Caucasian reiterates what it ha;
said: To each parish should be left the
authority and the power to protect the
game and fish within its confines. The
Legislature in abolishing the Game
Commission, as it now exists, shoulc
pass a general law which would operat'
| with the same uniformity of action ant
Of control, every parish in the State il

stead of State commission with ;
president, operating on high priced sal
aries, the constables of each parisl
could be NAMED as wardens, whose com
pensation could be fixed by the polio

The Game Commission, as it is ope
rated, is simply an adjunct to the politi
cal machine of the State, and therefore
if for no other reason, it should b
smashed into 'srnithereens.

alleged to have been taken at the pole

alleged to have been taken at the pole
itself.
The Copenhagen investigation definite
ly disposed of DR.. Cooks claims, and
the only possible charitable view to be
taken of the whole matter is that the
doctor was not equipped for such an
undertaking as he claims to have at
tempted, and that, therefore, it was
piece of utter recklessr1ess or overwean-
ing vanity t1atled him to claim to have
been the first to have discovered the
pole. 1t is web for DR.. Cook that he
has wisely hidden himself away some
where in EuroAe, as to have remained
in the United States would have been to
expose himself to we'll deserved ridicule.
If is pity that Commander Peary
did not also submit his data to the
Judgment of the same tribunal to which
the so-called Cook records were sub
mitted II is true that an American
commission has examined his papers
and pronounced favorably upon them
but the fact remains that there are no
reputable witnesses to vouch for the
fact that he reachtd the pole, and al
though his long experience in the arctic
and his professional training doubtless
fit him to make all the proper scientific
astronomical observations, his failure tc
take any other than negro with him
on his final dash will always leave a
certain doubt as to the thoroughness OF
his exploit.
Win Peary submit his proofs to the
Copenhagen tribunal as suggested by
Rear Admiral Sehley, or will be rest
content with the endorsement of the
National Geographical Society, who are
his friends?

The controversy over the discovery
of the north pole may be indefinite.
While the men who were loud in their
praise of Dr. Cook are now deriding
him with ridicule and charging that he
is fakir, Rear Admiral Schley, who
has some experience in the arctic re-
gions, has reafirmed his complete con-
fidence in DIR. Cook and has called pub
licly on Peary to submit his proofs that
he has reached the pole to the same
commission of the University of Copen-
hagen who passed on DIR. Cooks claims
In reviewing the north pole contro-
versy the Picayune says: The finding
of the commission appointed by ths
University of Copenhagen to investi
gate the proofs of DR.. Cook that h'
reached the north pole has made re
port utterly discrediting the claims o.
that gentleman to the honor of having
first reached the northern extremity O
the earth The commission does no
say that DR.. Cook did not reach TIL
pole, but it does declare ernphaticall.
that there is nothing in the record
