AFTERNOON SESSION.
. of noIice Maui S31 mn

Pay of police, Maui, $31, 900.
Rep .Hanuna-The item in the bill is
from the Executive, and presume it is
necessary. According to the list, the
salary of the Hama men is only $50 per
month-rather small for good men,
whose duties carry them through a
large district and over rough roads. I
understand that it is expected. If this
is true the men of Hama should have
an increase in their pay to the extent
of SIS per month each. l believe it can
be done
Minister SMITH would favor this
to the extent of comforting with the
Sheriff. This is a matter depending
largely upon the recommendation of
that officer, and as he will be down on
Saturday, the member can confer with
him.
Rep. Pali-We do not know much
about the pay of police on Maui ]
guess what the other member says is
correct. l think the policemen of La
hama are entitled to an increase. II
is nothing more than they deserve.
Minister Smith have a list of Of
ficers, and after the appropriation bill
is passed we can have a conference and
cut the garment according to the cloth
Rep. Hanuna's motion to pass the
item carried.
On motion of Rep. Pail the matter
of Deputy Sheriff at Lahaina was ia
ken up. He asked this because the
man there is the ablest one they have
had in the position for years. The |
work in the districts where there are
sugar plantations is greater than else, |
where, because of the gambling ele-
ment.

This department is one to

The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,

perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimated in such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant

actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects. is by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight.

Minister Smith-What Rep. Pail has
said about the services and capabilities
of this particular Deputy Sheriff is
true, but the size of districts must be
considered. The salary of the deputy at
Makawao is 81, 400, but he is in a larger
district. as the report shows. l there
fore cannot favor an increase in the
salary of the incumbent at Lahaina
though l endorse every word the mem
Der ha sspoken regarding his efficiency.
Rep. Pail changed his motion, fixing
the salary at an even $4,000, but the mo-
ton was lost and the item passed as III

whether they are willing to be plundered
or not 1t Is right coupled with GER
tain correlative duties, and therefore II
cannot be rightfully surrendered-the
public, the state, having an interest as
well as themselves in its possession and
proper exercise by them. Out upon the
drivel offered by the Times people as a
justification Of its hostility to the eman-
cipation of the class of citizens to which
their own mothers and wives belong!
Is that hostility born of fear that moth
ing but persistent oppression of the fe-
male members of their families-nothing
but robbing mothers, wives and daugn-
ters of their just and rightful powers,
will make the maintenance of their rel
ative position possible? Truly it would
seem So
The Times, continuing its powerful ar
gument in favor of sheer despotism.
says the women would not use the right
Of suffrage if allowed to do so. and that
they cou'd not better matters If they
would. That sort of drool would be
equally potent in support of the dis
franchisement Of a good many of the
men. A large proportion of those who
now possess he elective franchise never
or but seldom make any use of it, and
much larger proportion never make
any wise and judicious use Of it. All
those men certainly do not want it, do
not use it, or do not better matters when
they exercise 1t. Is the Times in favor
of taking from them the right, so little
valued or so rarely and badly exercised?
If want of due appreciation, or disuse, or
unwise, or inefficient use proves a per-
son unworthy to possess 1t in one case it
must do so in the other. Let the women
be tried. They cannot easily be less
worthy Of so great franchise than most
men are. When they have been tried
and found wanting in the wisdom and
virtue necessary to the best use of the
ballot, it will be time enough for the
Times and others Of the same kidney to
blather about their want of ability. The
right of suffrage is not what the women
demand. They possess that as fully as
the men, and they hold it by the same
title. Their demand is that they be al
lowed to exercise that right-.that the
dominating power by which men have
made it's exercise impossible be no long
er so used against them. Such demand
Is too clearly just to be much longer re-
fused. The women are marching on
ward to assured triumph, and the wisest
thing the Times fellows can do is to
Chamber into their band wagon and
shout for woman's emancipation.

The POpulIst Second Place Nominee Would
Prefer TO Preside Over the Senate.
ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 25.-The journal

says comes from asonrce OF undoubted
authenticity, that The purpose OF Sena'

to Thomas h Watson at the latters

not be induced TO retire from the
vice presidential race on the prom
ise Of a place in the cal met The
Journals informant, who Is demo-
crat Of high rank, but warm friend
and possible supporter Of Watson, says
that there Is no doubt that tentative
offer Of such position was made, by
whose authority 1t is not known, and
very promptly acclaimed. Mr., Watson
declared that, inasmuch as he had &C.
cepted the vice presidential nomina-
ton in order to preserve his party or
ganization, he could not surrender 1t
in exchange for any other office what

is to be made to Mr.. Sewall, and 1t is

from Gray Gables and with it comes
the announcement that Mr.. Francis
has accepted the position and will as
sumo It's duties when Mr. Smith retires
next Saturday The announcement
rather surprised Washington, more be-
cause of the suddenness with which it
followed on the heels Of the announce

because Of the selection. The reasons
for Secretary Smiths voluntary with
drawal from the cabinet were under

was made on Saturday, and 1t was
naturally expected that as he had re-
tired because he felt obliged TO support
the nominees Of his party at Chicago,
that his successor would be in full

MISSOURI AND KANSAS COAL


Value During 1906.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Mr. Edward
W. Parker has completed his annual
compilation Of statistics Of coal pro-
duction in the United States. The
figures relating to Kansas are interest
ing. The total product Of the state in
1895 was 2,996,S short tons, with a
spot value of SO. 4Sl,9 sl. In 1895 there
were five states in which the coal pro.
duction was less than in 1894. First
and foremost of these was Kansas,
whose output decreased 46l,ssl short
tons, entailin shrinkage in value of
$697. or.
Missouri had total product of coal
in 1895 of 2,372, 1903 short tons, worth
S2,65l, G12 The amount, while larger
than in 1894, was much Glow the aver
age for the previous ten years. The
ten mines in Macon gave that county
the distinction of supplying the largest
amount of coal, 4S9579 tons, worth
$467, 75l. The output Of coal in Mis-
souri, reached its highest figure in 1888,
year of exceptional activity in the
western states, when IL was 3,909,96
tons. 1t has not exceeded 100000
tons in any one year since.

Purchasing Power Of Cheap Money.

Maj. Sanders, of Louisville. who served
in the confederate army, recalls that in
January, 1865, he tried to buy a hand
kerchief in Meridian, Miss, but found
he could not afford 1t, the price Gin con-
fedeinte money! having been $500, and
as compromise he bought paper col
lar for SIPS. With gentlemen to whom
collars and handkerhiefs are super
fluffy such object lessons from the past
will have very little weight The marvel
is that the imitation craze should have
got such hold upon the people OF the
south, where the bitter experience with
confederate money should have lasted
for the present generation at least
