A KINDLY PROMINENCE

In closing his letter to Minister Will
liz, specifying the reasons why the
policy OF infamy imposed upon the
Hawaiian people great uncertainty,
terror and alarm, and expressing his
profound regret for the treatment he
has received, President Dole concludes
with paragraph worthy to rank with
the foremost uttSrancss Of historys
greatest patriots IL is this:
Such regret, on my part, is only equalled
by my inability TO understand how it has
come about that government and COM
munity which is today more closely con
nectrd with the United States by ties OF
commerce, friendship, and blood than any
other lying beyond its borders; which val
ues your friendship above that OF all other
nations; which fully admits aud appreci.
ates the many and deep obligations which
1t is under to your government and peo-
pie; which has done you aud your country
no wrong has been forced into position
where In defense Of their very rights to
exist, they have been obliged to take up
arms to meet the possible hostility OF that
country whose flag they revere and whose
principles Of liberty they love. cannot
but believe that IL has arisen through a
misunderstanding Of facts on the part Of
your government and mutual misappre.

RuRGsss puGGAN.s CASE

The candidate of tho Patrick Henry
Democratic club for the burgess OF
Duumore objects to The TRIBuNE's as
ssrtion that the administration OF the
affairs Of that municipality is dictated
behind tho closed doors OF an oath
bound organization. He asserts that
no oath is exactsd Of members of the
present club; that the sole requirement
is pledge Of fsalty to the organiz' v
tion. its principles and its candidates.
Although the statement OF THE TRlB
UNE was conditioned upon what seemed
to it entirely credible testimony, and
although it is a known fact that the
Patrick Henry club OF which the pres -
ent organization is an outgrowth. was
iron-clsd in its oath requirements, nur-
turing spirit not easily overcome
through technical changes in the by
laws, we are willing to give
Alr Duggan the full benefit of his
denial. Admitting, then, that there
is no oath Of fsalty exacted
from recruits to the present Dun
more borough Democratic organization;
and that merely q pledge is taken, does
this fius distinction alter the facts in
the case? Does it afford any reason
why taxpayers Of Dunmors should
continue to support, at the polls, a
borough ring which achieves virtually
nothing, from year to year, in way OF
public improvement; sxhaustS the
municipal revenues without rendering
adequate evidence Of borough prog
ress, and forms, in its methods, min
iature Tammany with all that that
word implies?

The FALLACY that Canadians would
give our products free entrance in ex-
change for the removal OF our duties
on Canadian products, hardly needs
another puncturing, And vet it is re
peatealy advanced by Democratic
economists As matter OF fact, there
has not, in two years, been on the
statute book Of the domiDion Of
Canada a provision empowering the
executive head of that dominion to re
ciprocate free lists with tho United
States. Therefore, when Mr.. Hines
quotes Mr. Eckley B. Coke as favoring
reciprocity in Goals with Canada. he
simply branches off into a theoretical
subject, having no present or immin-
ent bearing upon the question at issue.
In palmer words, he twists, squirmJ
and dodges, just like he always did,
and just like he doubtless always will.

SOME DOUBT ABOUT IT.
Was R. q. Sampson First Lieuten-
ant of Company "G?"

The Hawaiian Star, in its ac-
count of the celebration of Jan.
18th, contains the following.
cat o'clock an immense crowd
had gathered at the corner of Nuuanu
and King to witness the hosting of a
60x30 American flag on 120-foo pole.
The band was in attendance and rem
dered such patriotic airs as Star
Spangled Banner Marching
Through Georgia. Rally Round
the Flag a great cheer went up
from the throng that congested two
streets as the flag was hauled aloft. r.
III. Sampson, VINO served in the Civil
War as First Lieutenant of Company
Co. First Massachusetts Cavalry,
cracked a bottle of champagne and
christened the flag General Dix
Three cheers were then proposed and
given with will"
There seems to be some doubt as
to whether the Mr.. Sampson who
cracked the champagne with so
much eclat was actually a member
of Company sc" or not.

to satisfy himself on the point,
