Hobson's statement that the three
vessels sunk at Manila and raised for
use by the United States were not sent
to the bottom by Dewey but by their
own officers has caused a sensation.
Dewey himself admits that the ships
were not much hurt but points with
pride TO nine or ten others that were.
Hobson's implied reflection on Amer
lean naval gunnery gives offence to the
Admiral but Joseph Stlckney's nara
tive OF the Manila fight, an event which
he witnessed from the olympia's
bridge bears out some OF Hobson's sup
posed criticisms. Three years ago
Lieutenant Commander Swinburne told
the writer that the first battle In which
American warships bore a part would
show the folly OF the Governments re-
fusai to maintain a special corps OF
qualified gunners at large pay, At Ma
Mia, Mr.. Stckney says. the American
Meet withdrew from the tight. not for
observation-disclosures heard of stopping
. battle for breakfast but because
Dewey wanted chance to rate his men
for bad Workmanship and to take ac-
count OF lossea- When he found the
spaniards we're worse gunners than his
own he sailed In at close quarters ard
finished the night as 1t was easy to do
with his preponderance OF ships ana
guns and with the Dons In panic.

The late election in Vermont was very
significant of the trend OF public opin-
ion. 1t has become an axiom among
politicians that when Vermont goes Re-
publican by over $4,000 majority. in a
Presidential year. the general party
ticket Is safe. When the majority falls
below 10000 it is in danger. In 1892 it
fell very low and Harrison was beaten.
This year the Republican State ticket
had margin of about $4,000 and the
political forecasters for Mckinley are
jubilant.

This aggregate is not exceeded by the

battles.

The cartoons now running In the Ad-
vertiser tell their own story. Every
native. no matter what his unfamiliar
ity with the English language may be,
can see the point of the Wilcox and
Parker pictures. In the one Wilcox
goes away from Hawaii poor and comes
back well-to-do but with nothing in
his hands for the Islands. He had been
Stunned and neglected at Washington.
In the other cartoon. Parker, the friend
and beneficiary of the President and
the Republican leaders of Congress gets
things for Hawaii that help to put its
prosperity on firm foundation. The
moral appeals to every man, native or
haole, who has the material well-being
OF his Island home at heart.

To elect Wilcox would be to ALLEVIATE
the Republican and Democratic parties
from the native cause. These parties.
In their national character, will control
Congress just as they did when they
gave the Hawailans equal rights Of
suffrage. Should the natives In return
for that favor defeat both the Repub-
lican and Democratic organizations
here Congress would be likely, at their
request. TO restore the property quail
ihcation. The Democracy. which be-
lieves In white mans government.
would be willing to cut on the native
suffrage now; the Republicans, In case
OF their defeat, would hardly see fit to
resist the Democratic measures. So
the chances are that II the anti-Amer-
lean local ticket prevails the Hawaii
ans VIII never get another chance to
vote except on a property basis. The
only way they can keep the advantages
the Republicans and Democrats gave
them Is to join those parties and accept
their fun responsibility as American
citizens. Home rule" movements can
only make powerful enemies. and must
fall In all other respects. the same here
as they did In Ireland.

Wilcox in Congress would be the tool
of Moreno, the most discredited lobby
list there. AS an opponent of both the
Republican and Democratic parties he
could make no Roadway With either.
and his association with Moreno would
bar him from the departments. So far
as usefulness to Hawaii Is concerned 1t
would be as well to send a wooden In

ton party"
These and dozens of other ex>
pressions are used almost invariably
by those who are antagonistic to
that party and in referring to men
who usually lead in their counsels.
To be honest we have never had
patience with any one who has
given ear to such libels. Generally
and sweepingly speaking such ex-
pressions are the weapons of those
who fear the righteousness Of the
cause they represent and appeal to
personal derogation, to uphold
their argument.
There are mental incompetents
in the prohibition party, as well in
all others, but it contains no more
cranks possibly than any other
party.
When the time comes when it is
impossible for US to sustain or sup>
port any argument we may make,
without attacking individuals, we
will cease our efforts to create pub
lie sentiment. We freely make this
defense of the many whose strong
mentality and individualism refute
the expressions which head this
article, and to better say what we
intend to say in condemnation OF
many of the acts of the party and
Of its fanatical intolerances.
"What Jesus Would Do" sup>
posedly under certain conditions,
is stirring the Christian world. He
is made to act and say things
which, if the lowly Nazarene were
on earth He would repudiate
thousand times and we think one
Of the first things He would teach
would be tolerant principles to the
prohibition party, if he would rec
ognize the party at all, which is
questionable.
Every act Of the average prohi>
bitionist is inspired by hate of the
rum traffic. 1t does not end there,
which would be lawful, but extends
to the trafficker in liquor. Hate is
the watchword; no leniency, no
compromise, no quarter, no love,
but war to determination.
Question this hate, beg for toler,

ton of the liquor traffic, from prem>

any private individual, while no tol,

BUILD UP A HOME INSTITUTION
By Patronizing the Mesa County Build
ing 4 Loan Association-There Is
Difference in Good Things

Do not be deceived by advertisements
and statements made by agents repres-
enting foreign Building and Loan asso-
Citations. The Mesa County Building "
Loan association does not charge as
much on given amount borrowed as
ou tside associations charge, and it also
pays larger dividend on account Of less
expensive management.
Experience has demonstrated to q
number Of our best citizens (whose names
we have) that the liberal promises made
by travelling agents, who talk for the
dollars there are in it, are not carried
out. This they have found out to their
sorrow.
The Mesa County Building & Loan
association will show to any OF it's men,
bers or to those contemplating making
loans that it has been, and is doing bet
ter for its members than the printed
statements OF outside associations show
that they can do.
For example we herewith submit
comparative statement between the FL
deity Savings association of Denver,
Colo, and the Mesa County Building &
