has been the backbone of the integrity

the place of the free and independent

independent voice at the polls and in
all their declarations to their fellow

Mr.. Chandler-May | ask the senator

Mr.. Cannon-Certainly
Mr.. Chandler heard the senator
speak of robbery little while ago with
reference to the tariff. Does the senator
mean that the farmer has been robbed
all these years by the tariff? Is that the
senator's argument2
Mr.. Yes, sir, decidedly.
Mr.. Chandler-When did the senator
first think that the American tariff sys-
tenn was robbery Of the farmer?
Mr.. Cannon-Just SO soon as the SEN

New England is much concerned
about free hides. Some of her biggest
industries, especially that of boots and
shoes, have been built up during our
quarter of century of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes IN all parts of
the world Taxed hides would cripple
this and other industries Her leading
senators pretend to represent her and to-
put up a fight for free hides. In reality
they will, If necessary, sacrifice free
hides to obtain high duties on sug-
ar with plenty of margin for trust prof
its. Just why this is SO should be a
matter for senatorial Investigation, If
such investigation would only investi-
gate. Fortunately for the Sugar trust,
but unfortunately for the rest of ue
10, 900. 900 people, the Sugar trust un-
derstands well the art of making friends
where they will do the most good. It
has able attorneys to advise it how to
distribute its sweets to politicians and
lawmakers and at the same time to
steer clear of jails.
In this way and in this way only can
we account for the attitude of not few
prominent tariff makers at Washington.
The situation is interesting decidedly

years ago. The work has pro

Sugar a New and Profitable
Industry" Is the title of recent
American publication sent out
from the offices of the Orange
Judd Company, New York. The
object of the book Is to convince
the farmers of the United States
that they can raise all the sugar re-
quired in the United States 1t
tells them all about what has been
done in sugar beet culture and
what can be done. The author is
Herbert Myrick, who is at the
head Of the largest agricultural
publishing house in the United
States. Mr.. Myrick is also treas
urer of the American Sugar Grow
ers Society, (which is a coalition OF
all interests throughout the coun-
try in an effort TO secure such pro
lection in sugar that the domestic
industry may be quickly developed
until it supplies the $10O,000,00O
worth of sugar now annually i'm
ported" The sugar beet growers
are Il unit against the admission OF
sugars produced by Asiatic labor.
We simply note these facts as an
object lesson to numerous friends
who look upon white labor sug-
gestions with dignified contempt.

10000 windmills 50 are struck by light

to explain this condition by the fact

KEEP THE BALL ROLLING.

IN this country just about a. it Is.
The fearless manner In which he
has talked facts has had a very
good effect III circles where the
white labor proposition was once
laughed at \ general change IN
the atmosphere has been noted, and
1t Is TO be hoped that this new
state OF affairs will continue after
Ir. Fitzgerald returns home.
At the present time we find
many saying yes, yes" i'll an
swer to white labor sugges-
tons. We are pleased to hear
the general expressions of apprOba-
ton. but we trust that the visit of
Mr.. Fitzgerald will amount to
something more than the exchange
of favorable opinions.
If the employers of labor are
honest they will Immediately be
gin to lay plans for obtaining white
labOrers. 1t Is one thing to say
nice things about the changes that
should be made and can be made
and quite another thing to go to
work in a systematic style and
make the changes. This last Is
now the duty that devolves upon
the planters and the Government
as well. Actions speak louder
than words. We have it ON good
authority that one, perhaps two,
corporations are moving in the pro
per direction. The beginning Is
good so far as it goes. The only
danger Is that after the first en-
thusiasm is worn off some of our
good friends will forget that they
ever even talked white labor. y
few desuItory shots will accomplish
little. What Is needed Is a gener-
al advance all along the line.
The Government can show its
good will by resurrecting the Labor
Commission. 1t reflects no credit
upon the powers-that-be that this
important commission has been al
lowed TO die natural death. As a
matter of fact it reflects discredit.
The work that was dropped almost
two years ago might have been con
tinued, so that the Labor COmmis-
sioners of California would at
least find some semblance of an or
ganization to deal with. The pre-
sent white labor agitation Is the re-
suit of the excellent work done by
w. n. Armstrong, chairman OF
the defunct commission. How
much more might have been ac-
compIished, if Mr.. Armstrong;
advice had been taken III the first
place can only be surmised, but
we firmly believe the conditions
would be far In advance of what
they are TODAY.
We do not believe in dwelling
upon the mistakes of the past eX
cept as they furnish material for
drawing proper conclusions in the
future. What Hawaii needs today
Is an active working arm that will
do more extensive work than Is now
performed by the Board of Immi
grafton. This work can he accom-
plished if the Executive Will eXer
else a little more activity and put
the machinery of the Labor Com
mission in proper order. Water
doesn't rise higher than Its own
level and unfortunately officials |
do not usually move faster than the |
people behind them. But it now |
looks as if Mr. Fitzgerald had |
drummed good ideas into the minds |
of some of our intensely ''practi-
caF' men and the time has come
for positive, progressive action.
