THE CHARGE UTTERLY FALSE.
Senator Jones on Roosevelt's Charge
as to the Cotton Bale Trust.

Chicago, October 13.-Chairman
Jones, of the democratic national COM
mittee referring to Governor Roose-
velt's association of his name with
private ownership in trusts" said to-
day:
ANY statement made by anybody
hat I am in any way connected with
or interested in any organization that
is in any sense a trust is absolutely un-
true. The charge made that the Amer
lear Cotton Bale Company is a trust
was the occasion of a letter written by
me, and published at the time, in which
I stated the facts of my connection
with that company. That letter ex-
plains everything n was published
and extensively circulated. If Mr..
Roosevelt had wanted to inform him
self, he had the opportunity Of doing
so. If he is a sincere man, he will not,
after reading hat letter, make the
statement that the American Cotton
Bale Company is a trust. However,
there is an old advantage hat a lie
we'll stuck to is as good as the truth"

MR.. HARTwBLL'S HANDICAP.

If it be true that Unofficial Delegate
iartwel wishes to be relieved from
S task we trust that the local Exc
cutive will have the good sense to ac-
cept his resignation; if IT is not true
tDe Executive should accept his resig-
nation anyway.
Every advice from Washington, eN-
cept possibly those from the local
men who dislike to admit their fast
waning personal cause, is to the effect
that whatever prestige Mr.. Dole ever
had with the friends of Hawaii mas
been irretrievably lost by his an
tagonism of President Mckinley and
Administration officials in relation to
the land order. Whatever influence
Hartwell may have in Washington
has been nullified by his war record,
and his anomalous position as a per-
sonal representative sent to upset the
rulings of officials through whom, in
directly, he derives his quasi official
position.
Il Is about time that this farce was
brought TO an end, and the small per-
sonal plans which Mr.. Dole and his
delegate represent be withdrawn, that
the stumbling blocks in the pathway
of Hawaiian legislation may be lessen
ed. Local people may he willing to
forget the mistakes of Mr.. Dole and
his personal representative, but UNI
fortunately they cannot wipe out the
handicap, which opposition to Admin
-stration officials has made an active
factor in Washington. An attempt
though it may be frutless, should be
made lor complete change of front
on the part of our officials. They can
not save themselves. but it is possible
that they may be able to save tie
Islands from the further cmbarrass-
ment of past mistakes.
BY all means let HartwcIl he re-
lieved. Better have no representative
than one discredited by the strong
friends of the Islands.
