PRESIDENT DOLE
Will Continue to Exercise
eChief Executives Functionsr
Till the Commission Shall Have Set
tied Form Of Government.
Mariposa Will Sail, Today, With The CON-
missioncrs and Troops.

Washington, Aug. 9.-President Sanford
r. Dole is to continue to exercise the
functions of Chief Executive of Hawaii
until such time as Congress shall receive
the report of the commission appointed to
devise a form of government for the
islands and shall have enacted IA statute
for their government. There is to be no
governor of Hawaii appointed by the
President for an indefinite time if at all.
The attention of the state department
having been called to the reports that
president Dole was to be appointed gov
ernor, as well as to another report that
United States Minister Harold Scwall was
to be named for the place, reference was
made to the annexation act passed by
the last Congress, which in one clause
provides that:
Until Congress shall provide for the
government of such islands. all the civil.
judicial and military powers exercised by
the officers of the existing government in
said islands shall be vested in such per-
son or persons and shall be exercised In
such manner as tne president of the
United States shall direct and the Pres
ident shall have power to remove said
officers and to fill the vacancies SO occa-
stoned
1t is said at the state department that
acting within the spirit of this section
the President will continue in office the
present officials of the Hawaiian govern
ment. regarding it as needless disturb
ance of government functions there to
make any changes in office until Congress
has provided for a permanent form of
government for the islands.

Ss.ONld Pay His Debts.

A man ought to pay his debts,
and should be forced to do so.
provided some plan could be de-
vised, without infringing upon the
rights Of other people, that would
compel him to pay. When it costs
people of country one hundred
and ten dollars to force man to
pay debt Of one dollar, on an
average, as has been shown by The
Dictator to be the case under the
civil court system, then we cannot
by law attempt to make him pay
without outrageously depressing
the people who have to pay that
hundred and ten dollars. What
little sense we have got, let us put
it to some use. Abolish civil
courts.--Atlanta Dictator.

while waiting for a train to the

asylum. While going through the
''harmless" wards he was espied
by one Of the tractable patients,
and the following conversation took
place:
Patient-Say, Mister, where did
you come from?
Editor-From Nebraska.
Patient-That's Bryan's state,
amt it?
Editor-Yes, that's Billy Bryan's
state.
Patient-What did they send
you here for-too much 16 tol7
