E. Mont Reilly of Kansas City who was recent
ly appointed governor of Porto Rico sailed yester
day for his new post with at least one idea which
ought to have been left at home, assuming that
press dispatch from Kansas City correctly reflects
his purposes. He wants to make English the .pri-
mary language in the Porto Rico schools. That
would be good plan for Wisconsin say, but It
is all wrong for Porto Rico, where the teaching of
English should be made to wait upon demand for It.
That demand is bound to come in time If we are
tactful in all relations with the people of this
new territory The quickest way arouse resentment
and prevent assimilation of acquired people is to
attempt to crowd an alien culture down their
throats History is full Of instances of tragic failure
following attempts to do that.

Of the Far East Will occasion no surprise whatever
among the people Of this country 1t has been assumed
for some time that when the proper time came it would
be disclosed that the administration has not been

That the conference suggested BY the American
government will Be held may safely be assumed The
way IN which public opinion has put check upon the
proposal to renew the treaty between Great Britain
an Japan doubtless has had salutary effect upon
the politicians Of all Europe They knox now that these
days governments can do only wha. the people behind
them want done however they know that The people
want the burden Of miitarism removed as much as is
possible and as quickly as possible.
In this country, at least and it probably is also
true of all the other countries. including Japan the
people want the danger ofwar reduced to minimum
and they expect their statesmen to bend every proper
energy in that direction.

gave q lot Of expert advice to his
audiences which may be summed
up concisely and the larger and
non-layers known by their chief
characteristics. Hens having the
folllwing traits should be removed
from the focks:
Sick, weak, lacking yigor, mac.
tive, poor eaters, early molters,.
with small, puckered, hard, dry
vents; with small, shriveled, hard,
scaly, dull-colored combs; with
thick or coarse, stiff pelvic bones,
that are close together, small
spread between pelvic bones and
abdomen. In breeds with yellow
skin and Shanks, the discarded hen
should also show yellow or medium
yellow shanks and yellow beaks and
vents.
And those having the following
characteristics viii be found to be
the best producers:
Healthy, strong, vigorous, alert
and active; good eaters; not mott
ing or just beginning to mott in
September or October; with large
moist vents; with full, red combs;
thin, pliable pelvic bones we'll apart
widespread between pelvic bonea
and rear end of keel. and large soft
pliable abdomen. In breeds With.
yellow skins and shanks, the hens;
saved should also show pale OF
white shanks and pale or white
beaks and vents.
In case any poultry fanciers find

demonstrations others can be ar
