HAD GLAD HAND
FOR COTTRILL

There was more than one person
present at the Oceanic wharf this
morning who believed that they saw
Charles II. Cottrill, the recently ap
pointed Collector Of Internal Revenue
whose appointment for the post at
Honolulu has been recommended by
President Taft. though not approved
as yet by the Senate.
Leaning over the rail of the steamer
Sierra as she came alongside the
wharf was quite a distinguished APP
pearing American negro, accompanied
by two women Of the same race.
The word soon passed over the
wharf that Internal Revenue Collec
tor Cottrlll and family had arrived. A
hurry.up call was sent over the city
with view Of bringing galaxy OF
Federal officials to. the waterside
there to extend a welcome to the new
est aEpontee at the gift of the Presl
dent OF the United States.
In the meantime "Mr. Cottrlll" fair
ly beamed upon the assembled Homo
luluans at the wharf and doubtless
wondered at the display of curiosity
which he and his party had aroused
"Mr. Cottrill" turned out to be q
man who had been secured to take q
position at Spreckclsville Plantation
on Maui.
II was net until after the Sierra had
passed quarantine, the delegation OF
medical officers had left her decks and
granted permission for the departure
Of the passengers that the mistake
made by good many was discovered
Several local politicians were seen
making frantic efforts TO get in touch
with the supposed Internal Revenue
Collector as he and his family filed
down the gangway to the wharf and
clambered into waiting hack.
Explanations were soon in order and
there were few crest.fallen victims
of mistaken identity who were left
in the wake of the conveyance that
carried the negro and his party u
town.

ATTORNEYS FOR
ALIENS noted

i. II. Larned, acting commission.
er-general of immigration during the
absence of ID. J. Keefe. has sent to
the various immigration stations the
following letter, in which the priv.
ileges of attorneys appear to be re-
striCted.
ITO Commissioners of immigration
and Immigrant inspectors in
Charge:
Attention is directed to the fact
that a practise of the following de.
scription is becoming so general as
to interfere with good adminlstra-
tion: Attorneys or others interested
in the cases Of aliens who apply for
admission to the United States will,
after an appeal has been dismissed
or petition for landing under bond
denied, make application for re.
opening Of the case for the recon
sideration of evidence already submit
ted, or for the stated purpose of In.
trodu,tng new evidence, such appli-
cations often being filed with the
'Nl'' 'hhNh' WI Nlt utN vi
on the very day deportation has been
arranged to take effect.
1T Is believed that n proper and
uniform control OF this subject re-
quires that the department shall re-
fuse to consider applications for thu
reopening of decided cases unless
such applications are made through
the commissioner or inspector in
charge at the port of entry, and are
accompanied by eihter the addition
al evidence proposed for introduction
or description of its character, and
by the recommendation of the officer
m charge at the port. You will.
therefore, Immediately upon receipt
of these instructions, notify all at
tOrneys and others who interest
themselves at your port in the cases
" arriving aliens of the adoption OF
the above-descrlbed policy.
"In order that the above instruc.
ions may not occasion undue hard.
hip or miscarriage of justice in
deserving cases, the commissioners
and inspectors in charge are author.
ICED to order stay in any case In
which deportation is to be immedi.
tely effected II In their Judgment tho
additional evidence submitted or de-
scribed by the applicant for recon.
sideration is probably sufficient to
justify reopening the case; report
OF the action in the premises to be
submitted to the department.
when cases are reopened, either
by specific Instructions OF the de-
partment or by the local Office In
,harge, in urgent cases of the kind
last above mentioned, the additional
evidence will, If the case is an ordi-
nary appeal, be promptly placed be-
fore a board Of special inquiry, and
then. with the finding of the board.
be transmitted to the department:
or, II the case is an application for
admission under bond or an appeal
in which there Is involved only n
question of citizenship or domicile,
the additional evidence will, after
such investigation or any as may
be necessary, be promptly forwarded
to the department; in either instance
with the re commendation of the Of
ficer in charge"

DAIRYING IN THE SOUTH.

Students of agricultural conditions
in the Southern states agree that
there is no better section in the coun>
try for profitable dairying and stock
raising. The cattle tick pest has been
n serious drawback and has had not a
little to do in discouraging dairying in
the South. With this pest eradicated
by the aggressive work of state and
federal authorities there is now no
reason why the farmers of the south
should not appreciate the advantages
of dairying
Some of the finest dairy herds in the
country are found in the extreme
Southern states and dairying is more
profitable there than in the colder sec
tions where dairying is so largely car
ried on R
AS the Dairymans Union points out,
theme ARE several reasons for this. Cat
tie need not be housed so extensively
and for so many months in the year.
Pasturage is cheaper and forage crops
grow abundantly. Cottonseed meal,
one of the cheapest ana most effective
dairy feeds, is produced in abundance,
and markets are unsurpassed
Perhaps the greatest benefit that
can come to the South through the pro-
motion of dairying is the increased fer
tility of the land. The land will not
only produce greater yields but in
creases in land values must follow.
Dairying consistently followed by
the farmers of a community always in
creases land values. This is due not
only to increased prodmctiveness of the
soil, but to the fact that the business
itself is a very remun .rative one.
The Southern farmer who is anxious
do improve his circumstances, and Who
may not be fully convinced of the ben
efits of dairying, should ascertain the
Itruthfulness of the above claims he
| fore deciding his course. He can secure
such information from the United
Estates Department OF Agriculture Or
from any of the state experimental sta
TOPS.
The dairy COW will do more for the
farmers of the South than she has done
for the farmers of the North because
conditions there are even more favor
able for dairying.
Southern statesmen and others in
position to do so should appreciate this
great truth and be willing at all
times to preach the gospel of the dairy
COW to the Southern farmer.

COL. WATTERSON SEES TROTBLE

Col. Henry WatteTson thinks there is

CONGRESSMAN BELLS WOMAN
SECRETARY.

The news that Congressman Tom
Bell, of the Ninth district, has appoint
ed lady as / e , ,g:.te secretary at
Washington, is attracting considerable
press comment and is not without it's
significance.
The lady in question is the first of
her sex, it is said, ito be appointed TO
such a position Whether this be so or
not, the fact that SHE is to take entire
charge of the correspondence of the
Georgia congressman, be thoroughly
informed ON the political and public
affairs of his official life, and that she
will probably give fully as good SER
vice as man would in that capacity,
has served to illustrate that women are
more and more invading every field Of
endeavor and that no position can be
said to be closed to those who nave the
intelligence and desire to fill them.
in the far western states women are
filling various public offices and are
serving ON juries. While they have not
yet invaded politics to any extent in
the east or in the South, it is but reas-
enable to suppose that the rising wave
will spread from the Pacific to the
Atlantic in the course of another gen
Grafton and that within twenty-five
years, perhaps sooner, woman will
have exactly every political right and
privilege that men now enjoy.
Whether the change is to be for the
better, so far as woman is concerned.
Is justly regarded as debatable aues-
ton There is evidently going to be
some radical changes i'm the relations.
of the two sexes, in their view point OF
each other, and it will be one of tho
most interesting phases of the future
of the race to study the
results of woman's admission on an
ever widening scale to full partici1a-
ton in the life That lies outside the
hcme circle. Another generation NAV
be able to tell whether the prophets
who fortell the decadence of MANY
wcmanly qua.ities are justified in their
dire predictions, or whether women
win demonstrate THAT the enjoyment
of previously unlmown privileges and
opportunities has merely served TO
strengthen them in the highest attri-
butes of character and that none of
the weakening effects so freely pre-
dicted have come to pass.
