Nearly all of those at the convention wanted to do all in their power to aid in bringing about the nomination of Gov. Smith for the Presidency. By choosing six delegates and instructing them to vote as a unit they got the story before the people of the country that the first delegates chosen for the Houston convention were for Gov. Smith.

The biologists have recently been suggesting that the evolution of the individual may be con- ditioned by changes produced in the original egg cell. It may go so far the control of sex. The layman will not presume to take issue with expert cpinion. But he may be permitted to point out that in the course of the ages all sorts of influences have been brought to bear on the egg without producing the results indicated. Three-minute eggs have been cooked for seven minutes ever since restaurants were invented, but the only result has been to encourage the spread of ill-temper in the community. Eggs fried on both sides have come in fried only on one side. Scrambled eggs have come in either as soup or in the form of a tough pancake. Strictly fresh eggs have undergone an extraordinary change on the way from the grocer to the home. The laws of sex are the same on Park Avenue, where babies eat eggs just from the nest, and in China, where eggs are consumed in a state of advanced old age.

Bunnell, President of Alaska's only institution of higher learning, and she is grati- fled with the optimistic account he gives of the work and outlook of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, With 175 students enrolled this year and the prospect that the 200- mark will be passed next year, the College Iis doing even better than its friends had hoped. Not only'is the Alaska College growing, but the record shows that the educational work being done is of a very high order. Better testimony in this behalf than the enthus m and affection of the students for the institution could not be asked. Credit for the fine progress of the Alaska College is due i President. He_has worked with wonderful ability and fine enthus- iasm to accomplish the splendid Tresults that have been attained. mostly to CONSERVE ROAD-SIDE AND FOREST BEAUTY. Newspapers throughout the country are hav- ing a lot to say about the habit of raiding wild flowers that prevails among automobilists every- where. Some States have statutes forbidding it that are more or less disregarded, but those who would preserve the beauty of road-sides and for- ests are counting more upon educating the taste of the people against the practice ‘than they are on laws. Many newspapers are going further and urging those ride along the country woads and through the forests to take flower seeds with thém and plant them wherever conditions are favorable as to add to the pleasure of those who love beauty. The Trenton, N. J. Times, commenting upon the subject said: Raiding of the fields and woods for wild flowers by automobilists has been resumed, and as the season advances many protests are likely to be heard. It s appropriate to once more direct at- tention to the fact that New Jersey mow has a stringent law against such trespassing and destruction of flowers and shrubs. One must have written permission from the owner of the prop- eorty before he trespasses if he would avoid payment of a fine. A newspaper published in the Far West proposes that visitors to the coun- try shall take with them flower seeds and plant them along the roadside, where they will bloom and add to the appearance of the highways. That is a suggestion worth thinking about. In- stead of harming the scenery by carry- ing off the natural flowers and shub- bery, do something to improve it and try to repair the damages caused in the past by raiders from the cities. Those who are opposing the raping of wildl ; o who 50 candidates and tragedians, have been im the Far Rast the symbol of eternity, have been stood on one end by navigators, have been rolled down the White House lawn, have been desiccated into egg-pow- der, have inspired the geniuses who make up names for dress goods shades; yet the balanos of the sexes has remained unchanged and the opera- tion of the laws of heredity is almost as uncer- tain as the operation of the Volstead law. The most delicate manual operation conceivable, an Englishman engaged in decapitating his break- fast egg, has been going on for thousands of years; but the biological results have been nega- tive. Neverthele we are far from skeptical con- cerning the final outcome of laboratory experi- ments with the egg. We would only suggest that progress might be accelerated if the egg specialists would pool interests with the gland experts, who are working in approximately the same direction and who seem to be having troubles of their own. A definite contribution to knowledge ought to result from crossing a thyroid gland with a poached egg. Historic Gun in Tacoma Museum. (Seattle Business Chronicle.) If old-timers in the State of Washington were reminded that once there was a gun that killed a pig that nearly led to war between the United States and Great Britain, they would instantly say, "“Oh, that's the San Juan dispute.” It harks back to the claim of England that the islands were British territory. There was a British resi- dent who owned pigs, and an American who owned a garden and a shotgun. The start of the quarrel is easy to picture: Pig hroke into the garden; gun killed the pig—and the neighbor- hood quarrel instantly became an international controversy, with show of soldiers and warships and such like. Luckily a truce was patched up. The gun is now a treasured possession in the Washington State Historical Building at Tacoma. The incident proves that governments, as well as indiviuals, ought to be exact in drawing up their written contracts. Treaty of Jume 15, 1846, for the settlement of the Oregon boundary fixed upon the 49th parallel as the line to “the middle of the channel which separates the con- tinent from Vancouver Island, and thence south- erly through the middle of said channel and of Fuca's Straits to the Pacific Ocean.” Great Britain claimed Rosario Strait was the channel intended, while the United States insisted on Canal de Haro. In 1859 both tary occupancy, with a British garrison on the north part and an American garrison on the south part. By Article 34 of the Treaty of Wash- ington, May 8, 1871, the.question was referred to the arbitration of the German Emperor, who (October, 1872) decided in favor of the United States; and the following month the British garrison was withdrawn. So it has come to pass that real history clusters about the anclent fowling piece that killed the pig. blackjack and the black list, which, are different in degree rather than seems to be disapproved.— (Springfield, Republican.)
