Howsgees Gather Honey.

Bees gather honey by the aid of Their
"trunk," "lower lip" or "tongue," which
is used as an instrument Cor extracting
the nectar from flowers. The "tongue"
of bee is not as was once thought to
be the case, tube through whiC h the
juice is sucked, but is built more after
the fashion of a fine broom With this
broom the bee brushes or laps
or honey material from the flowers.
leaves, etc, and passes it down a groove
in the upper surface of the tongue to the
mouth proper. From that point the
juice is conveyed through minute orr
fee into the "first stomach" vulgarly
called the "honey bag" The honey bag
is real chemical laboratory, where, by
some mysterious process, which has not
YET been explained by science, the
juices are converted into pure honey
When the chemical process of trans |
forming their nectar into viscid honey
has been completed the bee disgorges it
nto one of the cells made for the pur-
rose of a receptacle.
For years the microscopes and the
ntomologists have been studying the
ee's laboratory, but its workings are at
resent among the UNEXPLAINED mys-
cries.

State No. has wheeled into nne for
woman suffrage.
An unexampled victory for woman
suffrage has been achieved in the state
OF Idaho. Hitherto suffragists have only
sought to attain for woman suffrage
constitutional amendments the custom
airy majority of votes for the question,
whereby amendments Of state constitu-
lions are usually adopted. But in Idaho,
on Nov. 3, more than two-thirds of the
votes cast on the question were recorded
for woman suffrage.
And yet it is claimed by the oppo-
nents Of woman suffrage that by Pc
suliar wording Of the suffrage clause of
she Idaho state constitution two thirds
Of all the votes cast at general election
are needed, and that these not having
been given for suffrage the amendment
Is lost
Such provision was never intended
by the men who voted for the new con-
stitution. 1t would be unjust, unusual,
undemocratio and unrepublican. We do
not believe that the supreme court Of
Idaho will 30 interpret the state consti-
sutton. ANY such provision, if it exist,
was fraudulently framed for the express
purpose OF perpetuating the disfranohise-
ment OF women and was never under
stood or intended by the voters of Idaho.

Mcdonnell Appoints IG Out OF the
FL County Attorneys.

Boise, Ida, Dec. 28.-Governor Nc
8 Cornell has decided 10 take the bull by
{. the horns in the matter of the district
attorneyships. at the recent election
: constitutional amendment was adopted
providing for prosecuting attorney
torneys. The district attorneys, five in
number In the state, were state officers,
elected every four years, and those in
Office at the time of the adoption of the
amendment had two more years to
serve. The question was then raised as
to whether the adoption of the amend
ment had abolished the Office of district
attorney, and If so, whether the county
attorney Is a county or a state officer.
In view of the fact that another consti- |
tutional amendment, which was adopted |
at the same time, in enumerating county |
Offices, made no mention of prosecuting |
attorney. Governor Mcconnell, after
first having come to the conclusion that
the district attorneys Office was abol-
ished, decided the new officers were
state and not county, and he proceeded
today to name men to fill the places for
a term of two years. He names prose-
cutors for 70 out of II of. the counties,
and will appoint others at once. This
will cause quite a row,
The district attorneys, It is said, will '
refuse to give up their offices, and other 4

SECRETARY WILSON.

We present in another column
an article from the Louisiana
Planter on the sugar beet indus

When he claims that the State of
Iowa can produce all of the sugar
required by the people of that
State. and, besides that, can sup
ply all required by the United
States. we can see the extent of
the sugar beet "craze" and its
rising influence in politics. Sec

building up of the home industry,

In the recent hearing before the
Committee of Ways and Means.
i'm Washington, Senator Perkins
made "A statement OH behalf of the
sugar beet growers of California.
He claimed that the sum of S12O,-
OOO. 900 annually sent out of the
country in payment of sugar,
should be retained and paid to the
home producer. If this were done,
he said that the alkali deserts
would be turned into fiourishing
communities. He made no eXcep-
ton in favor of Hawaii.
In this statement alone, any
one can detect the Senator'S
change of mood towards these
Islands. Claiming. as he does.
that California can easily supply
the demands of the United
States. he would act inconsist-
emily if he favored any policy
that nourished the sugar interest
of "A rival country. Moreover, he
is bitterly opposed to rival sugar
interests, created by Asiatic la
Dor. He believes that the white
man cannot compete with cheap
Asiatic labor, and, therefore, he
would exclude from the United
States all sugar produced by that
labor. Our planters quite agree
with him in his belief that the
white man cannot compete with
the .Asiatic. but are much dis
gusted with the Senator's cOnclu
siOns. Our planters say: I'VE
know that our sugar is made
more cheapIy with yellow than
with white labor, and we have
this advantage of you. but is that
any reason why you should be un-
friendly To us? You may not like
our kind of labor. Some of our
people do not like it. Mediate on
the duty of humanity. Treat us
with Christian generosity, and
don't ask us how We produce our
sugar"
But Senator Perkins is world
Nv man. who is much more inter
ested in California than he is in
our people 1t is much To be re-
GREETED that he apparently looks
upon Hawaii us the coming rival
of California in the sugar bust
ness. But. on the other hand. rs
a statesman with broad views, he
may see the superior importance,
if not the necessity, of perma-
nently securing these Islands to
the United States.

There is altogether too much
truth in what DIR. Mcconnell says.
One very strong tendency of the
times is TO crown the almighty
dollar king and make every prin-
ciple of national honor bow the
knee. And Hawaii is neither so
small or so insignificant that ii
may not draw lesson from these
facts. For nearly 20 years this
country has made the character
of it's future civilization second
AIRY to the getting of money. Men
found they could get money from
sugar; more money could be Oh
tanned by getting cheap coolie Ia
Dor. What is the result? AsiatiC
labor has been imported to such
an extent that the ruling Anglo
Saxon finds himself in danger OF
being unable to cope with the
forces ranged against him. We
say: In danger" and we say ii
advisedly, as every student of the
present situation must realize
| We do not maintain that the con
dition has passed beyond control
nevertheless the country is suf1i-
GENTLY close to the line to stir
people TO their senses.
Then the question comes:
What are you going to do about
it?" What, indeed, Certainly
nothing can be accomplished by
condemning the .Asiatic. Who
brought the Asiatic? Certainly
not by raising Il howl that covers
| the surface for the time being,
and meanwhile allowing the same
undercurrent of ASiatic importa-
ton to continue. Certainly not by
looking the situation full in the
face and doing nothing. The rem
edy is Il vigorous one, and re
quires revolution in the indus
trial life of the country. The only
remedy is to replace the Asiatic
with the white labOrer. This can
not be done in Il day, but ii can
be done. and must be done. if
Hawaii is to realize what has
been regarded for the last fifty
years as its manifest destiny"
The people must place the prin-
ciples of Anglo-SaXOn civilization
above the value of Il dollar The
enumeration of principle with
out consistent action amounts to
