EDIToR HERALD

EDITOR HERALD;-
In your issue Of this week July 2l),
in your article relative to candidates
for county Offices, you put me in a
wrong light before your readers--
that Of seeking the nomination for the
positltion of Representative IN the
state Legislature.
l am, personally, opposed to seek
ing Office at the hands Of the electors,
believing as I do, that the people are
competent to select the best qualified
and strongest man. / have asked for
appointive position and might some
time do so again. This is proper, as
the appointing power cannot know
everyone, but in county contest the
people should choose.
As to representative, many friends
have spoken to me in regard to my
being candidate, and to each one l
have replied that in no case would l
allow my name to be used unless it
was clearly shown TO me that it was
for the best interest Of the party. /
have said that 1t might be impossible
for me to accept the nomination even
if it were rendered me, and that, as
the people Of Phillips county had
been so good as to give me the kind
treatment and high recognition that
they have in the past, / have no claim
against them on the score of political
preferment.
/ will say that my idea of the duty
OF good citizsn and a loyal peoples
party man is to stand ready to execute
the will of the people. Therefore, be
should never seek to obtrude himself
upon his fellow cltizsns, neither
should he shirk any duty put upon
him il his environments are such that
he can perform it, but the good of
the cause should be paramount to
every other consideration.
Very truly yours,
+. @. JOHNSON.

3. Realizing that lin union there
is strength" and that we need more
united effort In order to effectually
reach the neglected corners IN the
Masters vineyard, and that IN order
to secure this result we must know
the best manner of performing the
work, therefore we recommend that
county organization Of every county
in the 9th district be urged, and that
in counties where we have no congre-
cations, county presidents be appoint.
ed to see that our plea is presented if
possible at suitable points in such
counter. Also that our pastor of
churches be urged to assist in carrying
the word into such places. Also that
so far as practicable we insist on
longer psstorRtes, and that we urge
the two or more of the weaker con-
gregations cooperate in the employ
ment OF a pastor il they alone cannot
secure such pastor.
A. And, whereas, the rum power
has a well organized army at work IN
the state TO overthrow the prohibitory
law, and that this law-defylng, soul
destroying horde is at work day and
night in all our cities and villages
bringing sorrow and misery into our
churches and hoInep, we believe 1t to
duty as disciples of Christ to put our
selves on record against this greatest
American evil. We believe that
Christianity ls the highest type of
good citizenship and that we should
stand firm for law and order--for the
home and against the saloon.
5. Resolved, that we, as Christians,
deplore the necessity for the present
war and that we earnestly pray that
the watch care of the God Of battles
may in the interest Of righteousness,
justice and humanity, without further
loss Of life terminate this terrible
struggle.
6. We hereby express our graft
tude to the officers of our district for
their faithful service during the past
year: Also our hesrtlest thanks are
due, and we are grestful for the
privilege of expressing them, to the
brethren and friends in Phillipsburg,
particularly to the ladies of the con-
gregstion, for the hearty welcome and
royal entertainment accorded us while
we have been IN their city; also we
thank the Quartet for their lovely
music; Misses Owen, Farrier and
others for service at the organ, the
brethren of the Presbyterian church
for the use Of their house for the
evening services, and Bro. Smith for
his work with us and for us in this
convention.

According to Associated Press dis
patches from Washington the ques-
tion of indemnity to British subjects
for their unjust Imprisonment by
arbitrary officials of the Hawaiian
Government, has been officially pre-
sented to the United States Govern
ment by the Queens Government.
Informally the claims were trans
ferred to U. S. Minister Sewall prior
to annexation for forwarding to his
Government for information. The
courtesy of the British Govern.
ment forbade discussion Of them
while the American Government
had more important matters to at
tend to. These being in the course
of strengthening out the time has
arrived for business. This course
will be duly appreciated, and while
no one can confidently predict re-
suits the question will probably be-
arranged either by arbitration, or,
as in the Japanese affair, by court
eous suggestion to the moribund
Hawaiian Government that the liza
bility be cancelled by payment be-
fore the new government goes into
effect. The amicable relations exist
ing between the two great and
powerful English speaking nations
are not likely to be marred by the
indiscretion of Hawaiian officials,
and, we opine, the claimants have
reasonable grounds to hope for an
approximately early settlement after
the firm stand taken oy the British
Government in this matter.

The episode of Christmas Eve,
necessitating the double punish
ment of lawyer for contempt of
court, was sad one. A lack Of self
control on the part of an advocate,
conscientiously believing his clients
and himself to be wronged by per-
sonal animus, compelled the judge
to protect and vindicate the rights
and dignity OF the Bench. He had
40 other alternative; but the Incl.
dent is a humiliating one for the
legal brotherhood Of this country,
for the ermine should be worn so
spotlessly that even suspicion of
taint should never be permitted even
to excitable practitioners. The court
of conscience, in this instance, must
decide the truth.

We understand that formidable
amount of typewriter documents
have been handled to Consul Gen
eral Haywood from the commander
of the U. S. S Bennington, in which
grave complaints are made in regard
to the conduct of the police force in
the city Of Honolulu. This morning
the executive officer appeared in the
court defending, as it were, young
sailor boy who was accused of violat-
ing our laws by burning frecrackers
in the public streets of Honolulu.
The acting Marshal and the Magis-
trate permitted the officer to speak
in behalf OF the man and showed
him all possible courtesy. The police
officers according to the testimony,
had simply done their duty. The
women selling leis on Nuuanu street,
yelled for protection when someone
in frolic dropped few firecrackers.
1t was very trivial affair, but the
law is plain and every man especially

The police are acting as we'll as can

that Honolulu is now an American
town and seaport at that.

manner, that necessarily must offend
our laws.

Explorer Cavendish's Thrilling Escap
From Death in Africa.
From the London News: II. S. II.
Cavendish gave an interesting account
of his recent trip to Africa before the
Royal Geographical society. Among
the incidents he related was the fol
lowing account of a fight with q
wounded elephant, in which he mar
rowly escaped death: Il tried to dodge
him, but he was too quick for me, and
as | neared the thin mimosa bush l
saw him just over me with his trunk
in the air, SO | threw myself to the
left on my face and kept still, think
ing that the elephant might go on. He
however stopped Immediately, and,
spinning around, knelt down behind
me, with his head right over me, and
took a drive at me with his tusks. which
/ luckily avoided Ey rolling in closer
under his chest. He then pushed me
under him with his trunk and tried
to pound me with his knees, but, as
luck would have it, | was just out of
his reach. l kept lodging his legs as
they came down. This continued, my
boys said, for half an hour, but he was
very much occupied watching my gun
bearers, who were shooting and shout
ing from some distance off. At one
moment he lay on me and I expected
every moment to hear the bones crack,
but suddenly his weight was shifted
off me and | pretended l was dead, and,
not wishing to see the coup de grace
coming, closed my eyes and remained
quite still. The boys told me that he
got up and backed off my body and
knocked his leg against a log of wood
lying close behind. Mistaking the log
for me-, he vented his rage upon it.
He must have been badly wounded.
After a time | heard the boys coming
closer, and, waiting until they were
fairly near, in case the elephant might
not have gone far, l looked carefully
round and saw him standing some ITO
yards off. | got Oh my legs as fast as
my bruises would let me and stag
gered toward my pony. The boys, on
seeing me get up, were dumbTounded,
and my groom, who was a great, hulk
ing fellow, wanted to carry me, think
ing | must have some bones broken; |
but, although my left leg was serious
ly bruised, and my scalp damaged, ]
was in other respects unhurt."
