. Proclaim Quarantine
BY C., S. ALBERT

Especial Star Balletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 16.-A
bill bearing on the Mediterranean fly
pest, and in which Hawaii is excep-
/, tionally interested, has passed. The
title of the bill is comprehensive and
indicates it's general purpose:
ITO regulate the Importation and
interstate transportation of nursery
stock; to enable the Secretary OF .Ag-
riculture TO appoint Federal horticul-
tural commission, and to define the
powers of this commission in estab-
fishing and maintaining quarantine
districts for plant diseases and insect
pests; to permit and regulate the
movement of fruits, plants, and Vege-
tables therefrom, and for other purs
poses. r. Ii z...,
The bill is made applicable to all
portions of the United States, the Ter
ritories and the iasular possessions. It
is made unlawful for any person, I'M
der heavy penalties, to import any
nursery stock without a permit from
the Secretary OF Agriculture. The
Secretary of the Treasury Is required
to notify the Secretary of Agriculture
whenever any nursery stock arrives at
any port of importation.
Whenever the Secretary of Agricul-
ture shall determine that the unre-
stricted importation of any plants,
fruits, vegetables, roots, bulbs, seeds
or other plant products not included
in the term nursery stock" may re-
suit in the entf1 into the United
States or any of its Territories of In,
furious plant diseases or insect pests,
he may establish q drastic quarantine.
against the places of expectation A
hearing must be given in public to.
all interested parties before quaran-t
tine edict is promulgated
& 1t is especially provided that "the
quarantine provisions. as applying to
the White-pine blister rust, potato Wart
and the Mediterranean fruit fly, shall
become and be effective upon the pas
sage of this act.
A Federal horticultural board, con-
sisting of five members, will have
charge of enforcing the law. All its
members shall be detailed from exist
ing bureaus in the agricultural depart.
ment, including the bureaus of ento-
mology, plant industry and the forest
service.
The passage of this bill was advo-
Gated by the Pacific Coast delega-
tons in Congress. Members Of the
House have for months been seeking
to secure such legislation in that body.
The measure presented was engineer
ed through the Senate by Mr.. Cham
berlain of Oregon.
The Pacific Coast people claim to
have been actuated by desire to pro-
tect themselves against the entrance
of the Mediterranean fly from Hawaii.

ON PIE.

A What visions does not the word pie call up? To Americans, pie" means so much that it is used as a synonym for goodness" of all kinds A thing that is just pie'' can have no further description. The rewards of politics become pie and the ''pie counter" a name for the distribution of the re- wards on which American politics are satiricaIly based. And it is all founded on that conception of fine pastry and freshly cooked fruit-a sort of fruit sandwich-which has become the na- tional piece de resistance" as the French would call it. The English time out of mind have jeered at pie that is, American pie. For them selves they eat mess of stiff pastry containing meat and potatoes-eat it cold too-call it pie, and are com placent about it. But if an Ameri- can meekly suggests that pie-his pie, that fine layer of perfect pastry, thin enough to melt almost without masti- cation, seasoned with fruits and spi- ces-if the American says this is good he becomes at once the object of Eng fish commiSera ton, if not Scorn. And indeed, in Yankee land, the land of pie, westerner is crushed, or suppos- ed to be, by the intimation that he ''eats pie for breakfast
 Americans are loyal to pie. And as long as this is so-say what you will-the countrys institution cannot be in great danger. It is only when we become too effete to know pie or too ignorant, that we may we'll take account of stock. Corn may be king, but pie is the autocrat of ready to- eat offerings At the Republican na- tional convention the demand for pie simply swept everything else out of sight. An enterprising person had a lunch counter in the coliseum during the convention. He estimates that the pie sold, if placed rim to rim, would reach from the north to the south pole and half way back again. He had sandwiches and coffee and oth- CT things, maybe, but the cry for pie drowned out all other sounds. Chi cago restaurant men say the demand of the delegates was not new or

waiting. The delegates sprung to their feet and the audience started cheering as the stalwart form of Col. Roosevelt came into view on the rear of the stage.
 The entire hall was sea of 10000 waving red and white bandanas, and Roosevelt stood, lowing his face Wrea thed in smiles as the crowd went frantic with enthusiasm. He bowed to friends in the first row of delegates and then in turn faced each side of the hall, lowing low and waving a railroader's salute to each of the gall leries. The band was playing, at least it was going, through the mo- tions, but it's music. could not be heard above the din of the shouts of women, Teddy, we want Teddy
 There was no question of Reosevelt's happiness. His face showed it and he nodded to the uniformed G. A. R. drum corps, it came across the stage and ranged itself in a semi circle about the speakers stand.

 Roosevelt finally swung into the spirit Of the enthusiasm himself and waved his arms and cheered
 The demonstration was the most re- markable yet rendered to Roosevelt during the present convention.

 All the time the veteran drum corps was fairly splitting the ears of those on the stage. Roosevelt fell into the swinging of their strains and using both arms to keep time executed a continued jig as he hoped about the CTS platform. At all times the T. R. smile and the T. R. teeth were plainly in evidence Women as we'll as men had plainly lost their mental poise for the moment and soon all of the State Senators were in transit through the aisles.
 Roosevelt sent down to invite several Confederate veterans and G. A. R. men to the platform.
 An elderly woman who was sitting in the California delegation sent a bandana up to Roosevelt and he waved it above his head while the yelling and cheering continued.
 The aisles were completely blocked and progress was very slow, but the delegates chanting Edna Mays fa- nous Follow On'' did not seem to care.
