The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-11-06
senator WHITES FoRoETFuLnEss

G ENATOR WHITE, speaking at Grass Valley,
urged the reelection of Marion de Vries to
- Congress on the ground that he is an honest
man, and that having had experience in Congress
sona service he is now a more useful Representative
TO his constituents and to his State than man
could be, however earnestly the might en-
ter upon the performance OF his duties.
From this declaration OF his opinion concerning
the value OF experience TO member OF Congress it
is clear the Senator was very forgetul when in max
ing his addresses at San Jose and in this city he neg
lected to urge the reelection OF Mr.. Loud from the
Fifth District The Senator's argument applies to the
case of Mr.. Loud with greater force than to
that of De Vries for the present Representative from
the Fifth has had a lar longer service in the House
and has attained there greater degree Of prestige
and influence.
That the Senator's argument is in the main correct
is beyond disputing Other things equal, Repre-
sentative OF experience at Washington is of far more
value than one who is new to Congress and has
everything TO learn. The people of the Second Dis
trict can with good reason object to the reelection
OF free trade free silver opponent Of the admin
istraon but no such valid grounds exist for defeat
ing the sound money, protectonist and stanch sup
porter OF the administration from the Fifth
Mr. Loud is now ono OF the most influential mem
bers Of the House OF Representatives He holds the
high position Of chairman OF the Committee Post
offices and Post Roads, and in that office has rem
dered important services the nation and his
stituents By the single act of extending free de-
livery TO the rural districts in Santa Clara County he
has conferred great benefits his constituents and
when under his direction the system is further ex-
tended the whole country will be the gamer.
Clearly it was sad case OF forgctfulness on the
part of Senator White when he omitted to urge the
people OF the Fifth to re-eect Mr.. Loud.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The keen desire to
hear the views Of the Liberal leader in
the house of commons, Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, on the Fashoda ques-
ton, was satisfied by his speech at
Aberystwith, Wales. Sir William YER

political differences, to support the gov

the empire in the present crisis, crisis
specially dangerous owing to the un-
exampled situation in France"
Speeches were made at various places
by the Hon. Charles Z. Richie, presi-
dent of the board of trade; Sir John
Gorst, vice president of the committee
of council and Conservative member OF
parliament for Cambridge university;
George Wyndham, under secretary of
state for war; Lord Edmond Fitz-
maurice, and Alfred Lyttleton, Liberal
Unionist member of parliament for

risk of war, it was impossible for Lord
Salisbury to recede from his position.

SAMOAN FOLKLORE.
Romantic Alliance Between the Gods
of SnmOn and Hawaii.
From the Washington Star.


William Churchill, who has lately return
ed from Samoa, where he held the post of
consul general at Apia has large fund of
Samoan folklore stories, which he gather
ed while in that country.
zone of the oldest and one of the most
interesting of these old stories which 1
heard" said Mr.. Churchill to the Star re-
porter, "related to the marriage of the
Samoan god Pill to the Hawaiian god
dess Pele The tradition is one of the
Oldest handed down by the Samoans, be-
ing transmitted from one generation to an
other, and is known only to the eldest
chiefs and priests of the race. The chiefs
declare themselves descended from Pill.
His advent to Samoa dates back many
hundreds of years. The god is supposed
to be the eighth generation from the su-
preme god Of the Samoans, Tangaloa-a-
Langi.
"Pui Is the name of a lizard which Is
common in Samoa. The lizard is about a
foot long and is found throughout the bush
In that country. Pill was one of the most
influential deites of ancient Samoa. Like
all the Samoan gods, he was anthromor-
phic-that is, had the faculty of changing
from one form to another At one time
he would appear as a lizard, which was
his most common one; at another he would
assume the appearance of a man to suit
his own convenience.
1.-The tradition is that Pill started off
many years ago from Samoa In a canoe
and sailed away with a number of his COM
panlons. There was no sign of the return
of the canoe for q long, long time. PHI
himself never returned, in fact, but the
