CRITICIZES THE SEAL.
Mr.. ThruLn Offers Timely Sug-
geStiOns to the Legislature.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In the recon-
mended design of The Great Seal.
submitted by the committee to the
Legislature for approval, as given
in Tuesdays ADVERTISER, there
are two points which will bear some
consideration before it meets final
adoption. The design, as whole,
will doubtless strike the majority
of people agreeably, but this fact
should hardly suffice to perpetuate
errors and lncongruities, which, by
timely critical examination would
remove them 10 the great advan-
tage of the whole.
| respectfully submit that the
design would be improved by the
omission of the tabled phoenix,
thereby giving more room and con-
trast for the central shield and sup
porting figures, which in them
selves, as grouped together, well
pOrtrays the new era of Hawaii,
both as to It's present progress and
hopeful outlook. As it is the de-
sign is overcrowded. A removal
of this emblem of Immortality will
allow the main feature of the de-
sign to drop down a trife, and the
remaining space at the base would
be set off more advantageously by
the taro and fern leaf decorations.
Apart from the honest difference
of opinion existing relative to the
symbol here used in a political
sense, it is questionable taste to
saddle Grecian mythology upon a
nations seal in these days of en-
ightened civilization so at variance
with fact and the country's hope
and aim.
I question if the designer, or the
committee recommending its adop-
ton, meant to convey the idea that
Hawaii was doomed to perpetuate a
single existence by continually ris-
ing from its own ashes. For one [
protest against the country's adop-
ton of this recognized emblem of
suicidal perpetuity as part of its
Great Seal.
1 also deem it improper to adopt
the "v" of ancient usage as a gu"
of the present age, as is done in the
word "Republic." We have no
right to accept a passing fad for
medieval ideas as the recognized
and esta blished usage of the present
day. Obsolete ideas may have rec
ignition in transient, immaterial
affairs, but they should have no
place in the seal of a nation. We
are in an age of progress, not retro
gression.

Don't MAI e a Mistake.

Now, don't you make mistake
by imagining that some beers are
just as good as Rainier or Olympic.
Remember that the Seattle Brew
ing and Mailing Co. have made it
a study of how to brew only the
purest and healthiest beer. Others
may try to initiate, but can they?
Perhaps, by relying on their i'm
agination. If that's the case, an
artist ought never be out OF cash.
He could draw money any time he
wanted to. True it is that the
Seattle beer drawn at the Criterion
saloon can't be beat.

PROBLEMS PRoPoUNDED.
Questions in License Asked by
Mr.. HOrner.

Questions in License Asked by
Mr.. HOrner.
Mr.. EDITOR From Indication
there will be brought before our com
ing Legislature, bills for extending
liquor and opium licenses, therefore
permit me a few words. There are
six things difficult TO comprehend
yea seven, that are hard to under
stand.
Will some one explain.
First: How a judge feels when
sentencing a criminal to prison OIL
the gallOws for a crime committed
while erazed with rum purchased at 9
rumshop, voted for and set up by the
Judges consent at which the judge
sometimes takes ga nip" for his
stomach sake" and to so keep in
with the rum seller and thus secure
his vote and influence.
Second How q merchant, who
deals only in the necessaries of life
can Justify his complaint of "dull
times" when he knows such large
sums are spent daily at the rum>hop,
which custom he encourages by voice
and vote to retain the rumshop. He
NAV be customer.
Third: How men who love their
kind and their country's welfare, can
quietly submit to see drunkard fac
tories multiply with all their evil
effects upon society and not exert
themselves to prevent it.
Fourth: How governments that
are supposed to work for the general
welfare, Can JUSTIFY themselves for
arresting, trying aud furnishing men
for crimes committed while crazed
with rum imported by the govern
ments consent aud which the gov
eminent by license authorize to be
sold.
Fifth: How prof ssed christians
can pray with clear concience
LEAD us not into temptation when
cousenting to have the rumshop, and
writes Prohibition is not eXpedient
until more foreigners are schOOled up
to it," and thus helps by vote, voice
and pen TO set up temptation all
around.
Sixth: How Ministers of the Cos
pei expect to do good in these days OF
progress, who cultivate appetites for
rum and tobacco, knowing as they
should 1.-The spirit will not dwell Ia
unhOly temples" aud fail 10 exc Re
that christian virtue of self denial
which says, ''It eating meAs M&ke
my brother To offend, [ will eat no
meat while the world stands"
Seventh: How christian and tenn
perance people can calmly consent for
their government to become a partner
in the rum business-that is, to share
in the profits with the manufacturer,
the importer and the retailer, in fact
to sustain itself by means derived
from this degrading business, know
ing as all must, that rum licenses and
rum tariffs are largely derived from
money that should go TO pay for food,
clothing and other earthly comforts
for suffering wives and children.

There's a good deal more
in SOAP, good soap, than half
the people imagine. Poor
soap is dear at any price,
good soap is cheap the same
way.
You've used Ivory soap
and found it good; people
in the United States have
had the same experience, but
the people over there are al
ways on the lookout for new
things, better new things,
even in soap. They found
it in Self Washing Soap and
we take the cue from our
Yankee cousins.
The Self Washing Soap is
"a pure, white perfumed soap,
good for the toilet or the
wash tub. Good for cleaning
paints or glass, G Cd for any
thing that soap is used for.
it has no chemicals in it to
crack the skin and for that
reason is used in preference
to Ivory soap. 1t sells at our
store for seventy cents a
dozen or four cakes for a
quarter and is cheaper than
Ivory soap.
Worth considering you will
Sayl We think SO and we
believe you will take the
hint and use the Self Wash
ing Soap.
Our stock is not large, be-
cause new soap is not easy to
Introduce even when it is
pure.
You nave only to try the
Self Washing Soap to learn
that it is more than the ad-
Vertisements say of it. 1t is
pure, that's one thing, purer
than Pears and it is cheap.
To accommodate persons
who find it inconvenient to
visit the store during the day
we have decided to keep
open Saturday evenings.

AN ABLE EDITOR DEAD.

Milwaukee, Oct. 1S.-Horace Ruble,
editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel, died
tonight. He had been suffering for two
years from humorous disease developed
Switzerland during Grants admins
month has rapidly wasted in strength.
Mr.. Ruble was born in Berkshire, VT, in
1899, and came to Wisconsin in his elev-
enth year. He resided in this state con-
tinuously with the exception of a year
as editor of the Boston Advertiser, in
1878, and eight years as minister to
from tuberculosis, and during the past
tration. He served for many years as
chairman of the republican state com
mttee, was editor of the Wisconsin
State Joural at Madison for sixteen years
and in 1880 came to Milwaukee, and from
that period has been editor of the senti-
mel. Mr.. Ruble was one of the most dis
tinguished newspaper writers in Wis
consin's history for scholarly attainments
and style of expression. He leaves a
widow and two sons.

FOR KEANE'S PLACE.
Names That May Be Submitted for Rec
tor of the Catholic University.

Washington, Oct 19.-The name of
Father Conaty, head of the Catholic sum-
mer school of philosophy at Plattsburg,
n. Y, is prominently mentioned for the
place of rector Of the Catholic univer-
sity, and the belief prevails in well in
formed circles that his will be one of
the names submitted to the pope Father
Conaty is man of intellectual tenden-
cies. and his activity has brought the
Catholic summer school into marked
prominence. He is attached to the
Springfield, Mass, diocese.
The friends of DR.. Garrigah, vice rec
tor of the university, are expecting that
his name will be included in those sent
to the pope. They say he has given
many years of hard work to the uni
versity, leaving one of the best parishes
in New England to take the vice rector
ship. 1t is urged that he should be con-
sidered before priests from the outside.
who have no special knowledge of the
university, are brought here.
DR.. Edward p. Allen, head of the
Mount st. Mary's seminary, Emmetts-
burg, Nd, is mentioned, as he is the
head of the only large college conducted
by the secular branch of the Catholic
clergy. The heads of the large colleges
controlled by the orders, including Ford
ham and Georgetown, are considered in
eligible, as the university is directly a
secular institution

CONFERENCE WITH WATSON.
THE TWO POPULIST NATIONAL
Committeeman ARE AT
WATSON'S HOME.
WILL REPAIR 70 ATLANTA TODAY.
Where Another Conference, Probably
With Senator Jones, Will Be Held.
The Conferees Would Not Say
Anything for Publication.

Thomson, Ca. Oct. 18Th. w. Reed
treasurer of the populist national com
mite, Mr.. Watson's personal represen
tative at the recent populist meeting al
Chicago, and National Committeeman
Washburn of Massachusetts,, arrived in
Thomson, the home of the vice presiden.
tial candidate, at II o'clock today from
Atlanta. They were met at the depot by
Mr.. Watsons son and driven at once
to the home of the nominee, three-quar-
tiers of a mile from the station. The
three have been in continual conference
since, stopping only for meals. The great
est possible interest is shown by Mr..
Watson's personal and political friends
in the conference now going on.
Prominent local populists, men ordi-
narily in the confidence of the vice pres
idential candidate, have called, only to
find that their leader begged to be ex-
cused. Mr.. Watson received the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press this
evening at 10 o'clock. He politely, but
firmly refused to be interviewed or say
anything regarding the political situa-
ton or his letter of acceptance. When
asked whether he would give out his let
ter tonight he replied:
1T will not be given out tonight.
nave nothing whatever to say Neither
HAS Mr.. Reed or Mr.. Washburn They
will leave for Atlanta early in the morn
ing, and if there is anything of interest
10 the public in our conference they will
give it out tomorrow"
Mr. Watson makes no secret of the
fact that his letter is in the hands of
Chairman Butler, and has been for sew
eral days. He is going to Atlanta on
Tuesday, and there, it is believed, he will
meet Senator Jones of the democratic
national committee. The state commit
tees of both the democrats and the pop
ulists will meet in Atlanta on the same
day, and the question of fusion on the
electoral ticket will be discussed. 1t is
generally accepted as fact here that the
democrats will make some sort of fusion
proposition. The democratic leaders say
there is no necessity for it and expect
strenuous opposition inside the party,
Watson's close political friends in Thorn
son are firm in the belief that unless the
electoral tickets are revised to suit him
that his letter, now in the possession of
Chairman Butler, will go to the public in
its original form. They are also con-
WINGED that in this letter the nominee
has expressed his opinion in his own Wig
orOus and peculiar English, of the fusion
arrangements now obtaining in Kansas
Colorado and North Carolina.

BRYAN AT TOLEDO.
He Made Few Remarks From the Rear
End of the Train.

Toledo, O., Oct. 19.-The Buckeye
again visited by w. j. Bryan today. AT
4:25 o'clock this morning the special cal
Idler, bearing the party, was pulled out
of Detroit, and at $3.50 the city of Toledo
which some weeks ago gave the nominee
such a hearty welcome, was reached
Here good sized crowd had gathered
about the depot and outside the gates and
cheered the nominee. At Z o'clock he
made a three-minute platform speech at
Perrysburg and another at Deshler half
an hour later. Short speeches of less
than five minutes were made by him at
Ottawa and Leipsic Junction.
The train today was in charge of Dan
iel McConville, chairman of the speak
ers' national bureau, and with him were
NJ. w. Durbin, chairman state central
committee, and Grant Holiday men,
Der of the state executive committee.
At Toledo Mr.. Bryan stepped out on
the back platform and acknowledged the
cheers and applause given him by few
appropriate words. He told the people
that they must not cheer him so, but
should save their voices in order to make
converts between now and election day.
This little statement served to provoke
more cheers and applause, and the good
natured complimentary talk OF few mo-
ments was entirely devoid of the issues
of the day.
The speeches at Perrysburg, Deshler,
Ottawa and Leipsic Junction were OF the
same general tenor as those usually made
by Mr.. Bryan in his short rear platform
speeches. c.. 1901,
Shortly after 9 o'clock the first speech
of any length was made at Lima, where
for thirty minutes the nominee eXpound-

U. S. ATTORNEY REMOVED,
By Attorney General Harmon-He Was
Running for Congress.

Washington, Oct 17.-Attorney Gen
eral Harmon today sent the following
telegram to Henry ID. Clayton, United
States attorney for the middle district of
Alabama, at Montgomery:
For reasons appearing in your CORE
spondence the president has today re-
moved you from the office of United

You will govern yourself accordingly.
Answer to your letter mailed today"
Mr.. Clayton is candidate for con-.
gress and this telegram IL the outcome
of a brief correspondence between Win
and the attorney general relative to his
course in view of the well known rule OF
the administration. On October s the at
torney general called Mr.. Clayton's atten-
ton to the many complaints which had
reached him, and expressed surprise that
he had not himself communicated with
the department. on the subject. In an
swer, Mr.. Clayton insisted that his can
didacy for congress was not inconsistent
or Incompatible with his present position
