PINE LAND DECISION.

The Sherburne County Star-News sug-
gests Bob Dunn for the state senate or
congress, but is willing he should be the
auditor if he wants 1t.
1t is the first black eye that the pine
barons of this state have ever received,
but we hope it will not be the last

Bob Dunn has won a big victory and

HAWAIl's CONSTITUTION.

A copy of the original constitution of
the kingdom of Hawaii has been un-
earthed in Philadelphia In the collec-
ton of an antiquarian. 1t is unique
document, having apparently been
written by an enthusiast in religion and
democrat in politics. 1t is commenda-
bly, brief, and, were it not for a few IN
cldental references to eXtraneous topics,
would pass for regulation American
camp-meeting eXhortation OF a Fourth
of July Grafton.
The document was dra Wn by a native,
graduated from native Sc minary
where more attention was bestowed
upon theoretical religion than upon the
practical details of everyday life. 1t
consists of declaration of rights of
both the chiefs and the people that,
barring its platitudes, would serve as a
model for the most advanced republic
on the face of the globe. 1t, however,
seems to have been more honored in the
breach than the observance, for its pro-
visions. and even It's existence, appear
to have been unknown to any of those
having control of the government.
Those good people in the United
States who have long been agitating
the propriety Of a change in our consti-
tuition which shall recognize the exist
ence Of Deity might find hint for their
guidance in the fundamental law of the
semi-barbaric kingdom in the South
seas. 1t starts out with a misauotation
OF Scriptural text, and proceeds to de-
fine the responsibility of the Creator for
the errors and absurdities into which
His creatures have fallen. 1t finds that
God has established all governments for
beneficent purpose, but does not ex-
plain how that purpose has been almost
universally subverted and perverte d,
After declaring that it is by no means
proper to enact laws for the protection
of voters only, without providing for the
protection of their subjects; neither Is it
| proper to enact laws to enrich the chiefs
only, without regard to enriching their
subjects also, it forbids the exaction of
service from any man in a manner at
variance with such principles.
Theoretically. the constitution is free
from objection from the most radical
advocates of free government. But
the trouble in Hawaii seems to have
been the same as the trouble in other
nations-the rulers did not respect the
constitution, and there was no power in
the hands of the people to compel them
to respect it. The king, the queen and
their chiefs appear to have done pretty
much as they pleased. They were a law
unto themselves, and carried their ex-
| cesses and eXtortions to the limit OF their
subjects endurance. And the provision

In Menoriam.

E. o. Foote. father of Mrs. G.. G.
Smith. OF st. Paul, died Oh Tuesday,
Dec. II. at his home in Wellington, o.,
aged eighty-seven years. His death
calls for more than the usual mention of
simple mortuary record, because he was
one of the pioneer anti-slavery men,
associated with William Lloyd Garri-
son, Gerrltt Smith, Joshua Giddings.
Myron Holley, and the rest of the ad-
vance guard whose agitation eliminated
in the civil war. To have been an abo-
litlonist meant more than the present
generation can ever appreciate in its
fullness. 1t was obloquy, social ostra-
cism and general aversion.
The blight fell upon every one con-
nected with the movement, and it was
more baneful to those OF brilliant prom
ise. Sumner was an outcast for years
from the select conservatism of Boston
society, andit was the spoken intention
to Starve him out of any profitable prac-
tice at the bar.
1t required more courage to face such
conditions than to go out once for all
and fight the actual combat. For the
slow. powerful antagonism seemed to
be an ever-strengthening opposition,
against which the determined few ap.
peared like so many Don Quixotes.
But the enthusiasm Of those men re-
NAMED steadfast to the end. To the
very last year of his advanced age Mr..
Foote was as interested to read everv
utterance in the present status of the
negro cause as he had been in his prime,
and his mind was treasury of anti
slavery literature from first to last.
His daughter, Mrs. c. G. Smith, could
hardly keep him supplied with copies
of Archbishop Ireland's Baltimore
plea for the Negroes rights of today,
which he regarded as the supreme sum-
ming up of the long and varied argu-
ment for the race.
Mr.. Foote lived sixty-four years in
Ohio, and such character as his in
honesty, integrity of purpose and high
minded aims for the good of humanity
certainly made the common wealth
richer by his long and honorable career.

READ The BIBLE,
Says Leo XIII. to All Catholic
Priests.

Priests.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 1s.-The pope's
latest encyclical, dated at Rome, has
been received by Cardinal Gibbons. In
summarizing it the cardinal said 1t
strongly recommends the earnest study
of the sacred Scripture to clergymen
and students, and the study of Oriental
languages, those in which the text was
originally written, with view to the
better understanding of the text of the
Scriptures in order to meet the objec--
tions of adversaries of the Scriptures.
Leo xiii. exhorts the priesthood of the
Catholic church, and in particular it's
patTIarchs, its primates, archbishops
and bishops, to whom the pontifical letter
Is addressed. to study the Bible. Two
principal reasons impel the pope to take
this step. The one is his desire to see
this glorious source of revelation more
safely and more abundantly opened for
the use OF the Lords flock" The other
is MS unWllllDgnesS to tolerate that the
same should in any way be- violated
by those who, either by impious daring
openly attack the sacred writings, or
lmprudently are Scheming new and
failaclOuS doctrines. He refers his
readers to Second Timothy, lii, 1917:
AL Scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for doctrine for
reprOof. for correction. for instruction
in righteousness; that the man of God
may be perfect thoroughly furnished
unto all good works. The encyclical
says that this is Gods intention to prove
by the example of Christ. Jesus, the
writer shows, was in the habit of APP
pealing to the Bible for his own legiti-
NATION and divine origin. In instructIng
His disciples He led them to the sam
fountain. The writer warns the preach
ers of the whole Catholic church against
preferring to use their own rather than
Gods word and wisdom. and severely
lnyeighs against the lack of Biblical
study and research.

MIR. Watterson, speaking of the reversal
in the Hawaiian matter of the kepub-
lican attitude to the negro here. says:
The amazing feature of this kini Of
talk is that it comes from Republicans.
Since when have they learned that men
of intelligence, who pay the taxes, ought
to rule, no matter how numerous the
other classes and colors are? This was
not the theory upon which carpetOag
governments were set up in eleven
states. 1t is not the theory upon which
the intelligent taxpayers of the South
were subjected for years to a race just
emerging from slavery, without prop
ertv, without education, without eXpe.
rience in affairs of government. On the
other hand, nearly all the Kanakas can

PURELY BUSINESS.
Other Papers Flop to the Associ-
ated Press

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Dec. 1S.-The Her
aid has the following this evening:
After a thorough investigation of the
subject and due delfberation, the Her
aid has accepted an invitation from the
Associated Press to become member
of that association, and hereafter it will
receive lis news of the world through
that medium. The change was decided
on from purely business point of view.
and we deem it advantageous to the
Herald. Perhaps word of eXplana-
ton will be OF interest to our readers.
The United Press of New York, Of
which the Herald was an original men,
Der, was absorbed some time ago by the
United Press of Illinois. younger cor
poration. The United Press of Illinois
is a stock concern, and, as such, liable
at any time to be controlled by
a combination Of various interests
which could secure majority
in the board of management.
In fact this has been an existing con-
dftion for some time. The dangers
which might. result from such a status
are great, as may be easily understood
by any one, if familiar with newspaper
management. 1t can be appreciated
that where few men control an i'm
mense news-gathering and distributing
organization. the opportunity for color
ing the news, and especially The tinan-
cIal features, would be great; human
nature is fallible, and temptation should
not be thrown in its way. On the other
hand, the Associated Press Is a mutual
concern, organized under the laws of
the state of Illinois, and working under
conditions which make it lmpos
sible for any one newspaper to hold
more than given number of shares.
The position of the Herald in this organ
iZation, SO far as vote and voice are con-
cerned,is exactly the same as tnat of the
New York World, or the New York
Evening Post, or the Chicago Inter
Ocean. 1t has long been the opinion
among newspaper men that this mutual
feature was absolutely necessary for the
protection of the integrity Of the news.

so ciated Press today. The Bangor News

ed in the name of the Union soldiers of
Iowa, without regard TO politics, against
the pension policy of the administration,
which he described as policy of infa-
my. Gen. Sickles Dem. n. W, the
one-legged hero of the battle of Gettys-
burg, said he was glad to see Oh the part
of those who were his adversaries in
battle, disposition to grant liberal
pensions to all worthy Union veterans.
He hoped to see the pension question
kept aloof from sections. His statements
that he did not believe wholesale fraud
existed in the pension roll, caused great
applause from the Republican side,
Which was renewed when he declared
that no party would rule long in this
country, and no rulers would long sur
yive popular condemnation. who cast
slurs upon the integrity and good faith
OF the veterans upon the pension roll.
