HAWAII AS A TERRITORY
Powers and Duties Of the Governor
and Secretary.
Governor Appoints All Local Officers Until the
Legislature Provides for Their Elec-
ton by the People.

EDITOR EVENING Bulletin
Pursuing the subject of our con-
dition under a territorial form OF
government, and having in pre-
vious letters dwelt upon the
suffrage and the election of dele
gate to Congress and members of
the legislature, 1 come now to the
discussion of the territorial Off
Gals, whose appointment by the
President of the United States is
provided for by the same general
law of Congress which authorizes
the formation of new territories
Even without the additional
powers that will probably be
granted to the first governor of the
Territory of Hawaii by special
act of Congress, his authority is
already very extensive under the
general laws, and, indeed, until
after the first Legislature is over
it may be said to be absolute. He
is the personal representative OF
the President of the United States
to whom alone he is answerable
for his actions and by whom in
case of necessity he may be re-
moved at will.

YELLOW FEVER.

The latest from the fever-stricken
parts of the country, is quite encour-
aging, and there is heavy falling
off in the number of cases daily
reported.
There is no more fever at Baton
Rouge, Edwards, Memphis, and
Biloxi and it will now be only fe"
more days when the change in :he
weather will check it entirely at New
Orleans.
The latest from New Orleans re-
ports only eight new cases, which
shows that the fever is fast disap-
pearing.
The total number of cases at al
infected points on Monday last was
only twenty-elght and seven deaths.

The NatcEez Democrat speaking
az its two oil mills says that the "two
mills in that city are just as busy as
can be, ana that the price of cotton
oil product is going up, and that the
mill men are going to have another
prosperous year, just as they had in
1885, 49," What is to prevent all
the oil mills in making money, when
they have entered into combine to
keep the price OF cotton seed down
to So 90 per ton, which is all that is
now being paid. The poor farmers
are the ones who are getting it in the
neck while the mill owners are reap
ipx The big profits.

The Mer Rouge Democrat says ga,
this time of last year our farmers
were getting from Z to l-2 cents
for cotton and in return were buying
meat at 1-2 cents and flour at So. rs.
This year they are getting 7-8 for
their cottnn and are buying meat at
2 cents and -four for 1915, In the
meantime the northern press is point
ing out that prosperity has returned.
Perhaps it has in the North, but the
poor Southern farmers, getting 33 1-3
per cent less for their cotton and pay
ing 20 to 20 per cent more for the
necessaries of life, fail to see where
the joke comes in"
