frol of one OF the Hawaiian group os-
tenstbly for use merely as cable sta

BnIGHrEH IRosiECrs FOR THE
BILL.

The passage OF the Nicaragua canal
bill in the senate by SO emphatic a ma
jority stimulates the hope that 1t may
yet be presented to the president for ap-

session OF congress. There Is little
doubt that II will be promptly taken

friends of the bin that its success.

While 1t Is true that the president In
his latest annual message entirely
ignored the subject of the bill, he is
voring the project. and IL is not antici-
pated that he viii hesitate IN giving

tives from the Gulf coast states are
said to be united in It's support. as are
the majority OF. representatives from
states bordering on the Atlantic coast.
Such opposition as the bill is likely to
encounter may be expected mainly
from members hailing from the CEN

those OF the Northwest east OF the
Rocky mountains.
Pacific coast members regardless or
party are a unit in favor OF the bill,
and witt in connection with those from
the extreme South. be lis most jealous
champions. Every possible pressure
should now be brought to bear upon
congress for speedy action. Under the
present rules the bill need nor be talked

This is a nice state OF affairs, indeed,
In these hard tines. when people are
losing their homes because they cannot
pay the high taxes and interest. I saw
in recent issue of your paper that a
large plumber of men were being made
happy In this city at the corner of West
