aim is to strike at the heart of the
nefarious and highly profitable traffic.
He expressed the opinion that opium
smuggling would continue just so
long as the smuggIers were not ar
rested and severely dealt with.
Chief Wilkie does not take the
superficial view of the opium situa-
ton in the port of San Francisco that
has been frequently expressed by
some of the chief officials of the Gus
toms service here. He is not satisfied
with merely seizing and confiscating
the contraband opium, but wants the
arrest of the men engaged in the
Illicit traffic and wants them punished
severely. He knows that the carry
ing on of opium smuggling requires
a large amount of capital, hence the
members of the rings are not petty
ship officers and stevedores, but men
higher up.

SPANISH REVOLUTION
HINDERS CAMPBELL'S WORK

That a widespread revolutionary
movement in Spain might be the cause
of serious loss to the Territory, is the
opinion of DR.. Victor S. Clark, execu-
tive of the Board of immigration,
Labor and Statistics.
1T brings home strongly" said the
doctor, "the wisdom of extending our
field in search of labor. The unset
tied conditions due to a revolution
might quite conceivably be the cause
of the loss of a charter of vessel,
besides a great amount of valuable
time and work"
The Portuguese revolution is far

The Board of immigration received
letter yesterday from it's special
agent A. J. Campbell, who has charge
the recruiting 70 laborers in Portugal
and Spain, advising that the situation
looked favorable. He had not been on
the ground, at date of writing, how
ever, to be able to say anything very
definite regarding the possible results
of his efforts

nationality-in fact, there is a possi-
bility that the work is. now in meas
ure expedited as result of the trou-
BILE. DR.. Clark states, however, that
in case the trouble in Spain becomes
widespread, it will doubtless be diff
ficult to do much work in recruiting,
and in case the revolutionists should
be successful it would be still a
longer time before the people became
convinced that a change of form of
government is not a short cut to the
millennium. Until they realize this, re-
cruiting of laborers would probably
not be very successful

to be advised that the fleet will post
pone it's cruise to Hawaiian waters

The fleet was originally scheduled
to sail September Is, the date of sail

that the President will be in San

been still further delayed, as indi-

Must Be Important.

1t looks as If the federal officials in
San Francisco perceive something val
liable in the exhibits for use at that
end of the line in running thu ring
sters to earth. Otherwise it is hard
to account for their retention of the
exhibits in the first place and then
sending the marshal himself to keep
his eye on them in the second place.
From what can be picked up, in the
way of straws indicating the set of the
wind, it will depend a good deal on
the attitude Norman B Smith chooses
to take here toward the pro- ocecution,
whether he will be marked for soaking
to the limit or for being leniently
dealt with as a witness for Uncle Sam.
If ne makes himself the submissive
goat to save his accomplices, there
are chances that he will fail in this
purpose and have to take all the medi-
cine that is coming to himself besides.
There is little known on the out
side regarding Smiths intimate con-
nectiOns while here on the two oc-
casions he visited honolulu this sum-
mer. He is supposed to have run a
good deal with Americana Hawaiian
steamship people. Thereby may hang
a narrative with unfortunate ending
for a number of persons.

DR.. Thomas r. Crowden disabuses
our minds OF this erAor in a
paper lately read before the
american Public Health Associa-

Everybody has thought that when
the air in a crowded car or any pub
lie place Of assembly has per
ceptible odor that such place Is
badly ventilated and, that the ma
tural remedy is to admit current
OF fresh air-fing open another
window. DR.. Crowden says we are
all wrong; that the unpleasant odor
cannot be removed by any ventila-
ton until you efface its source: that
often where 1t is most marked it ex-
lists along with air of such degree
of chemical purity as to indicate
ideal Ventilation, while, on the other
hand. its absence may be associated
with the highest degree of chemical
purity.

The sixth Representative.

81 \. =
Discussing the congressional re-
superintendent bill. by which West
Virginia is given six congressman
in place OF the five now represent
ing the state in the House of Repre-
lsentatives, the Parkersburg Dis
patch-News points out what must
be done bysiRepublicans in order to
capture the sixth place, as fol
lows: -
Under the provisions Of the re-
aportionment bill passed by Con-
gress. West. Virginia gains an addi-
tional representative, giving her six
in her delegation. And due to the
failure of the legislature to pass a
law re-districting the state. it will
become necessary for the additional
congressman to be elected at large,
and to be continued to be chosen
in that-manner until such time as
we are fortunate enough in electing
a legislature that will agree to re-
district the state for congressional,
legislative and Judicial purposes.
1t will be an honor worthy of any
good mans ambition to be elected
to Congress by a majority of all the
voters Of the commonwealth, al
though he takes the chance of a
very brief tenure should the next
legislature pass re-districting bill
that would leave him SO unfavor=
ably geographically and politically
placed as to make it impossible for
him to secure a denomination.
However, we dare say there will be
no dearth of willing Barkises on
that account.
There has been a noticeable in
terest among party men and the
writer's OF politics shown lately in
specializing on the forthcoming
congressional elections In this state.
The Republican side of 1t is the
more discussed. and quite naturally
SO, inasmuch as there is every rea--
son to believe that the four Demo-
cratic members of the delegation
will be given denomination.
That is the customary thing to do in
congressional circles. and it is n
that the Democratic party
in West Virginia will very probably
adhere to.
In that case Representatives Da-
Wis, Brown, Littlepage and iHamil-
ton will be four of the five men
whom the Republican party must
bend every honorable effort and adj
vance every honorable argument to

double the crops on land now under

and improved cultivation The
number Of young men who have
gone ont as graduates Of our agri-
cultural colleges, and the number
OF graduates being enrolled in these
colleges, viii constitute a fruitful
nucleus. for the success of such a
movement, says the Knoxville
Journal and Tribune. According to
the AmerIcan Year Book, the sixty
i've sagricuitural colleges enrolled
for the year 1903, 1s107 graduate
students ard including those in en-
efneering COURSES g. 1922 undergrad
yates in agricultural courses In
addition 1853 were enrolled in
special short courses.
There were in the country fifty
eihEt high schools receiving state
aid, two entirely on private founda-
tions, and twenty-eight general high
schools receiving state aid for teach
ing agriculture. Besides there
we're number in agricultural
classes in secondary courses OF
common schools.
The agricultural schools are the
fruits of modern growth. The
of the Agricultural col
leges was laid in 1852, through
the efforts OF Senator Morrill,, Of
Vermont; but it took long time
to get them to work in most Of
the states. Boys going to college
were devoted to the classics. and
agricultural science was little
though of. But the movement is
onward and upward, and the agri-
cultural students are rapidly In
creasing year by year.
