GRANTING OF LICENSES TO HACK.
DRIVERS


We find a loose system existing which
is no doubt indirectly responsible for
many accidents. Upon investigation we
are convinced that before granting a Ii
oense a suitable examination of appl-
cants Is not made as to their proficiency
in driving, even knowledge of the or
binary rules of the road.
FAVORITISM SHOWN BY THE
COURTS OF HONOLULU.
We were formally requested to investi-
gate the following statement made in the
Honolulu Republican of August Il, 1907
Every man who knows anything about
the courts of Honolulu in the past knows
that fayoritism has been open and noto-
rious. A favored few could have cases
they were interested in tried Immediately
or postponed at their pleasure, as they
would demand. They cannot do this now
and therefore the same cordial relations
do not exist between the bar and the
court as heretofore"
We were asked to investigate this mat
ter from the standpoint or grave public
concern and not OF private grievance
/ Considering that this came within oul
duties under the portion of Your Honor's
charge which instructed us to investi
gate any condition which we may deem
detrimental to the public good, we have
proceeded, with the following result:
The editor of the Honolulu Republican
stated that this article was written boy
himself, on his own responsibility, anC
was not dictated or inspired by any othe1
person, and that he is not restricted Of
controlled in any way in his editorial du
ties. This jury invited testimony il
proof of the charges under considera
'tion, but the evidence OF the editor of tn
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-08-24

Honolulu Republican and also that of
the attorneys to whom he referred the
jury, did not substantiate the charge, and
in fact the testimony of the latter was an
endorsement and not condemnation of
the integrity of the Honolulu judiciary.
The article in question was evidently
written without mature consideration or
essential knowledge.
We did not deem it necessary to sum-
mon any other witnesses
While this jury fully recognizes the
freedom of the press, we condemn such
serious charges without evidence to SUBJ
stantiate them.

P. D. MCCULLOCH.

Hon. P. d McCulloch of Lee
county is announced in this issue
as a candidate for reelection to
Congress from the First district,
subject to the will of the demo-
cratic party. Our readers are,
no doubt, familiar with Mr.. Nc
Culloch's record, as he has rep
resented the district for several
terms in succession. On the
questions of vital Importance to
the people he has always took a
firm stand with the Democracy
and voted and labored accord
ingly. II elected again Mr.. Nc
Culloch, aided by an extensive
experience, will use his influence
and ability in whatever direction
he finds beneficial to his constit-
uen5s.

The populists Of Nebraska are
trying to determine whether they
will demand the vice presidency
of the democratic ticket or stay
in the middle of the road by
themselves. Our humble opin-
ion is that the democrats had
better steer clear of fusion in the
future. If the democratic pole is
not long enough to knock the
'simmon the democratic party
has no business with the said
'simmon. Populists and demo-
Gratis do not hold together in
common, are separate bodies
and won't mix.

CLAY SLOAN.

Hon. Clay Sloan of Lawrence
county in this issue announces to
the democrats of Sharp county
his candidacy for Congress from
the First district, subject to the
action of the democratic party.
Mr.. Sloan is now serving his
second term as Auditor, in which
position he has made the State
a good official and the citizens a
faithful servant. He is one Of
the best and brainiest democrats
in the district. Being a forceful
and logical speaker, full of vim,
courageous and firm, Clay Sloan
would be heard from in the halls
of Congress, and this district
would honor itself by laying upon
him the duties Of her representa-
tive. Sharp county, recognizing
his ability and power, will give
him a good vote.

The race for congress in the
First district promises to be the
liveliest and most holly contested
this year than for many past.
With two good and competent

The Sharp County Record says
that it is very undemocratic in us
to want Sharp county to decide
this senatorial business. If it is,
then we say the custom is I'M
democratic and should be abol-
ishcd. Which is all we have to
say on this important subject
just at present. Maynard En-

LOATHSOME PEOPLE.

Following is a part of a COM
munication written by an Arkan-
sa., boy to the Little Rock Demo-
crat:
"As to the benefit the Ameri-
cans will receive by possessing
this country, l will describe it to
you and my Little Rock friends
aad let you judge for yourselves.
First, | mnst say that | nor any
one else whose descriptions |
have read could properly des-
cribe these people. | cannot find
words to tell what | think about

the .Filipinos speak Spanish.
Their language is Tagalog. The
men, like the Indians, do very
little work, the women perform
ing nearly all Of it. Their wea-
pom is the bolo, a large knife, as
.N is their tool for any kind of
workmanship. They build their
shacks or houses with this one
tool. They do not use nails but
instead are wooden pegs and
bamboo strips or strings. Bam-
boo is the timber used almost ex-
clusively. At least 80 per cent
of these people are diseased with
leprosy or smallpox or some
other loathsome disease. Nearly
every day there are cases Of
smallpox or leprosy picked up on
the main streets of Manila.
Eight out Of ten Of the people
you pass on the streets of Manila
have old marks of disease all
over their persons. There are
more beggars, blind, crippled
and sick here than any place you
can imagine. There are nearly
as many dogs here as there are
people. The natives live mostly
on rice. Their beasts Of burden
are small ponies and caribou or
water buffalo. The people are
very slow and sullen and treach-
erous, but not 50 slow as the
Cubans. / can say that much

They can sit comfortably on their

their toes for fingers very well.

woman go along the road with a
basket Of something on her head,

PERKINS FAvoRs THE CABLE.
Favors a Line from San Francisco to
the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Perkins appeared greatly surprised to-
day when it was intimated that he is,
or has in any manner opposed the Pa
cific cable legislation. Tonight he made
the following statement, which tersely
embodies his ideas and position relative
to the laying of a Pacific cable:
81 am a strong advocate of a cable
between San Francisco and Hawaii and
worked for the measure in committee
and Senate. The bill passed the Senate
several weeks since, and l have been
urging members of the House to press
its passage through that body. l am
also in favor of cable from Hawaii
to the Philippine Islands unless a sur
vey will show that it can be laid more
advantageously and much cheaper by
the northern route, touching at Dutch
Harbor. In that event l think the peo-
pie of California and the Pacific Coast
would favor a line that would place
us in cable connection with our great
northwest territory as we'll as the ORR
ent. The amendment l have offered
simply provides for another survey, so
that we may have all the data before
us, that we may be in a position to in
diligently legislate upon the subject
This is the purpose of my amendment.

LETTERS FROM CHRIST
REMARKABLE ARCHAEOLOGICAL.
DISCOVERY.
Epistles Passing Between King Agrippa
and Our Lord-Referred to by Fuse
bus in the Fourth Century.

LONDON, MAY 1.-The Daily Express
correspondent at Rome cables that the
letters exchanged by King Agrippa and
Christ, referred to by Euseblus IN the
fourth century and lost for nearly 1000
years, have been redisCOvered and veri-
fed. The announcement of their re-
discovery was made to the Archaeolo-
gical Congress by Professor Bohrmann,
and created a profound sensation. The
translation of Agrippas letter follows:
Il have heard of Thee and of the
cures wrought by Thee without herbs
or medicines, for it is reported thai
Thou restorest sight to the blind and
makest the lame walk, Cieansest the
leper, raisest the dead, easiest out de-
wills and unclean spirits and healest
those that are tormented of diseases of
a long continuance.
Hearing all this to Thee, ! was fully
persuaded that Thou are the very Goa
come down from heaven to do such
miracles, or that Thou art the Son of
God and performest them. Wherefore,
have sent Thee a few lines entreat-
ing Thee to come hither and cure my
diseases besides.
Hearing that Jews murmur against
Thee and continue to do Thee mischief,
I invite Thee to my city, which is but
little one, but is beautiful and suffi-
cient to entertain us both"
Christs reply follows:
Blessed art thou, for believing Me,
whom thou hast not seen, for it is writ
ten of Me that they that have seen Me
shall not believe and they that have not
seen Me shall believe and be saved.
But concerning the matter thou hast
written about, this is to acquaint thee
that all things for which l was sent
hither must be fulfilled, and then l shall
| be taken up and returned to Him that
| sent Me. But after my ascension l will
! send one Of my disciples that shall cure
thee of thy distemper and give life to all
| them that are with thee"
! Bohrmann declared that the letters
! had been found carved in stone near
the entrance to the palace of the ancient
! Kings of Ephesus, and that he was
sure they were identical with those
mentioned by Eusebius. The latter said
| they We're in Syro-Chaldaic and that
they were found near Iconium in 81 A.
! ID. Ephesus inscriptions just found are
! in Doric Greek. The first letter Is
! signed "Abgarus," who is the Agrippa
of the Biblical text. The English saw
