A clamp was placed on cities of the
second class which hope to have sep
arate schools for negroes in Kansas
The supreme court ruled today that
such cities cannot maintain separate
schools. Three Ga1ena negroes ap-
piled for 4 writ of mandamus to COM
pei the city to admit their children to
the schools attended by white chill
dren.
The city of Ga1ena last summer es-
tablished a separate school for all ne
gro children, employed a good teach
er, and furnished the building with
the same equipment as that placed in
the white schools. The supreme court
granted the writ of mandamus.
But another negro appellant did
not fare so well. The supreme court
held that a railroad cannot be held
responsible for injuries received by
prospective customers who are elected

CONTINUED from Page onep
tional convention today came as
the long expected climax to the
stirring session of three days
duration. At the finish there
was a sharp contest on whether
or not the nomination of the col
onel should be made, in view of
the fact that the conference
committee representing the
Moose convention had agreed
With a like committee of the Re
publicans that Hughes was an
acceptable candidate and in view
of the further confusion that
Roosevelt himself had wired
both conventions that Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts would
be endorsed by him as a COM
promise candidate.
At the very moment when it
was flashed to the Progressive
convention that Hughes had
been nominated at the Coliseum
as the standard bearer of the
Republican part, Chairman Rob
ms of the Progressive conven-
tion was announcing that Col.
Roosevelt had been unanimously
nominated as the Progressive
leader the convention went wild
and there was no way to inform
the delegates what had transpir-
ed at the Coliseum.
Oyster Bay, June 1O.-Colonel
Roosevelt in a telegram sent this
morning to the Progressive con-
vention suggested the name of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts as a compromise
candidate upon whom both Pro-
gressives and Republicans could
unite.
His Reasons.
Colonel Roosevelt said that at about
o'clock this morning he was notified
by Progressive conferees that they had
come to no conclusion with the Re
publican conferees and that the Re-
2 publican conferees had again asked
for any suggestion of a name as a
candidate from the Progressive con-
ferees
He then wrote to the Progressive
conferees stating that he appreciated
their loyalty to him and their effort
Ito get him nominated. but that he
thought the time had come when car
rying out the spirit of the statement
of the Progressive national committee
Z in January and the statement made by
r him in Trinidad in February, it was
their duty to present an alternative
I name on which he hoped the Repubi-
cans and Progressives could unite. He
8 presented the name of Henry Cabot
sLodge-
He quoted the three paragraphs OF
-his telegram to former Senator W. B.
Jackson of Maryland of day before
yesterday.
Against Lodge
Il Chicago. June Governor John
son of California in a statement today
declared Henry Lodge of Massa-
chusetts said to have been indicated
as a compromise candidate by Roose-
welt will not be acceptable to the
Progressive party.
I'm a Progressive and Lodge is
not, Lodge does not represent single
part of the Progressive party's faith.
He will never do. we will tell the
colonel so, in language so direct that
he will understand it,
Pinchot of Pennsylvania said:
why didn't the colonel select Pen
rose. He would be just acceptable

improvement; and it is thought that
slight shortening of the dipping
periods, during the season, would have
the effect of increasing the efficiency
and thoroughness of the work. This
opinion is based upon the practical
experience of tick eradication workers,
not only in Louisiana, but in other
states.
We believe we are correct in the
statement, that Louisiana is the only
southern state that does not now dip
its cattle every IA, instead of q days;
and that those which have adopted the
shorter periods are securing better re-
suits, as is shown by comparing the
monthly dipping records of other

states with our own, and the fewer
number of infected herds at the end
of each months work, which means
that other states are destroying more
ticks, because fewer, if any, of them
are permitted to mature and drop off
the cattle between clippings, which it
seems possible for some to do during
the longer interval of q days.
True, the average time for cattle
ticks to mature on an animal is about
% days, and, consequently, the 21-day
dipping destroys most of them. How
ever, experience has demonstrated
that some ticks may, and in some
cases do, mature and drop off a few
days earlier than the average, and
are not destroyed in the 21-day-dip;
and it is these few earlier maturing
ticks which continue to infect pas
lures, delay the work and its final
accomplishment, and, consequently, in
crease the cost. In short, dipping
only one day before the ticks are ex-
pected to drop off the cattle, while it
may, and no doubt does, destroy most
of them, is a little too near the danger
line, and is likely to miss some of
which have matured a day or two
earlier than the average. This, we
believe, is one, if not the chief, rea-
son why the states that are dipping
every Ia days are securing more sat-
isfactory results, with fewer infected
herds, than we in Louisiana are get
ting.
We do not presume to suggest that
it would be practicable, nor wise, to
make any change in the dipping peri
DDS already in vogue where system
attic work is being carried on. But,
from the more satisfactory records
of other states we are forced to the
opinion that it would be a wise move
to institute the two-weeks-dipping-
periods with the beginning of the sea-
son of 1917, which would mean only
some 5 or more dipping during the
entire time from, say, April LIST to
November 18th, and with much more
satisfactory results, and time and
money saved.
The sole object of this suggestion is
to try to effect a more thorough tick
killing, and materially shorten the
time required fot total tick eradica-
ton; and we would be pleased to have
those who expect to commence sys-
tematic tick eradication in the spring
of 1917 give the matter due consid-

TICK ERADICATION
By DIR. W. H. DALRYMPLE.
Louisiana State University.

In the work of tick eradication, it.
self, there are two main objects to be
considered, viz, ~ To kill the cattle
ticks; and (2) to accomplish their de-
'truetiOn in the shortest possible space
81 time.
TO those engaged in this work in
NE state, under systematic eo-opera-
Ton, the results, so far, have been ex-
nnsIy gratifying; yet, in the opinion
u the authorities, and in comparison
with what some of the other states
nave done, there is still room for some
