gate TO the Fffty-seventh congress b1r
could not elect to the Fffty-xixth con-
grsss is TO expose ones Ignorance Of
American government II has beeu rec
oenixed from the earliest days that the
people should al ali times be represeaG-
ed In congress. By q delegate IL terri
tory, and By a member. or members, If
state
OF course congress did not specifically
provide in the Organic Act OF Hawaii
for the election of delegate to co.,
gress to serve out the remainder Of the
term Of the Fffty-sixth congress, or
provide in exact terms that the delegate
elected in November. 1900. should ser se
in the Fffty-seventh congress The
principle Of being represented at all
times is so well understood that it was
undoubtedly not considered necessary
by congress to go into detail in saying
how the first election should be held
and how the delegate should be voted
for. The fact that delegate was to be
elected ito serve during each con-
gress" was considered sufficiently PLAN
TO show what was intended.
AS an illustration of this might be
cited the first state election held ia
Utah, the last territory admitted into
the sisterhood of states. The first stare
election was held in November, 1894
With the adoption OF the state consti.u-
tion the term Of the territorial delegate
to congress expired. In the election
for state officers, members OF the legis-
lature and member of congress, the lat
ter was elected to finish out the une1-
pired term Of the Fifty-third congress,
and also elected at the same time for
the full term Of the Fifty-fourth con-
gress. The same man was nominated
by the respective parties for both the
long and short term. When Mr.. Can
non, who was elected. presented his
credentials to the Fifty-0ird congress
in January he was at once sworn in
and allotted seat in the house. When
the Fifty-fourth congress assembled in
December. 1895. he presented his Gre
dentials for that congress and was
sworn in with the other members.
ANY one who has given study to
American political methods will readily
see that it has been the universal Gus
tom not to allow any state or territory
to be unrepresented in congress. and
if such has been the case it has been
because of the failure of the state or
territory to elect and not because con-
gress would not accord the proper rep
resentation.

A SERIOUS SCHOOL QUESTION

What IS TO become OF the children
whom the board OF health has fouId
physically deficient and denied health
certificates and who are therefore bar
red from school privileges? Superin-
tendent Atkinson well raises the ques-
tion whether. il these children should
outgtow their ailments or survive them,
they ought 10 be allowed to grow UP
in Ignorance and be thus doubly handi-
capped in life? Again, how are they to
be prevented from playing and associ-
ating with physically perfect children
after school hours? VIII 1t be neces-
sary TO segregate them, as the lepers
are segregated, and all possible cure
thus shut of from them? OF course
such proposition is not to be thought
OF. not In our present state Of civiliza-
tlon. Perhaps with growing years We
may imbibe Spartan ideas, which, after
all seem to have been borrowed from
the older civilization of the Chinese.
That these children must be educated
and cared for goes without saying. II
is a grave question that confronts the
board OF education and the board OF
health, with whom the proposition
%-sr ~
There is apparent a disposition to
shoulder the solution OF the problem on
the incoming legislature. 1t is probable
that such course will be found neces-
sary; that special legislation and an ad-
ditional appropriation OF money ma.
be needed, but II is to be hoped that
the reference will be accompanied by
plans and suggestions that may aid and
guide the legislators. The members OF
the board OF education and the board Of
health have more time 10 devote to tho
consideration OF this subject than any
committee of the legislature will have,
and they ought to consider the matter
IN all its bearings. either at joint ses-
rions or by joint committees. and pre-
pare full report to be presented to the
legislature. embodying drafts of needed
legislation on the subject.
The question is not to be lightly
disposed OF. II goes to the fundamental
rights OF every child In the commu-
nifty and the rights OF the public itself.
These are not to be trified with. and
while in police and health cases the
United States laws grant extraordinary
powers. especially in cases OF epidemies,
the step taken in Hawaii is one in ad-
vance OF anything upon which the
courts have given any decision, so Far
as we can recall That II is an inno-
,yation to be commended goes without
saying. but in taking II the rights OF
every child and OF every citizen must |
be protected. How that can be done is
the problem before the territorial Of |
neials.

Apparently he Does.

(From the Evening Independent
The deputy sheriff Of Lahaina dd-
mits in letter written by him to the
Advertiser that he stopped a hay
ride" party of ladies and gentlemen
because they were disturbing the
peace with singing, shouting and gui-
tar playing" Imagine the peace of
the sleepy, cne-horse ex-capital Of
Maui being disturbed by singing and
guitar playing! The deputy sheriff
also says: Il feel perfectly satisfied
with my action on this occasion" The
question of interest to the public is
whether the high sheriff shares the sat-

THE TlSER AND THE FISH.

The 'Tiser has found another mon
ster Of the Deep, giant swordfi5h,
which it serves to its gullible readers
after the inimitable style in which it
recited the awful battle between q
hammer-head shark and a monstrous
| conger eel In the swordfsh story,
| after the fish had swallowed "a tin
shaped like fish " the circus opened
out There was the usual pipe-dream
struggle, and that same old harpoon
flashed in the sunlight" as 'the steel
hurtled through the air"-the salt
laden air-"and buried itself in the
body of the swordfish." This ey-
traordinary fish did not die, as any
decent fish would have done Instead
he ''braced himself for last mighty
effort and tore 1.-The hook from his
jaws"
Even after so heroic a struggle the
fish was not permitted to escape, and
his final capture is the most interest
ing part of this most wonderful Adyer-
tiser fish story. "A cowboy on board
the schooner came to the rescue just
in the nick of time" The writer OF
this dream doesn't explain who was in
danger that needed rescuing, but that
cowboy did it in great shape This is
what the cowboy did-and II must be
true because the Advertiser NEVER
fakes and only occasionally lies: ''Pois-
ing himself for a moment, the cattle
man skillfully whirled his lariat ani
succeeded in noosing the sea beast by
one fork of his tail. After that it was
easy and the fish was soon hauled up
on deck and despatched with an axe"
That was probably the same axe that
the native used when he appeared in |
the nick of time" to cut that fighting |
''eonger eel In two" in the shoal wa
ter" on Diamond Head That axe and
harpoon are being a trife over-worked, |
but they insist on circulating through |
every Advertiser story dealing with the |
ieyisthans OF the sea that fevered |
brains continue TO coniure up. Like
that conger eel. the fish had great
length and weight, and the Advertiser.
in rs undying adherence to the trut1,
would not take an inch OF that nine
feet nor an ounce on the 400 pounds
aud insists that the sailors on the Mo-
lolo will eat salted swordfsh for weeks
to come. II is great story--a scoop
on all contemporaries. The fsh and
the author Of the story we're pictured

The Electric Fan.

The black sheep
OF the flock of lesser ills.
How did I get it?
Please ask me something hard.

Sitting underneath fan.
Not fan of palm,
Or feathered finery,
Or handiwork Of Jap,

And sinking at its base

OF angels fresh from Shadyland
That famed me as they few
And turned the perspiration
OF my burning brow
To pearls of pleasantness;

OF purling rills
That sang of shade;
OF sweet, seQuestered woods,
Unscorched by sun;
OF fair green fields.
Dew-kissed from morn to night:
OF rose-bloom
And Of raphsodies-
And then my vision changed
And I beheld
A hideous horror,
Brazen winged,
That few forever,
Whirling round,
And round and round,
Increasingly around,
And beat upon its cage Of wire;
The meanwhile
Whirring wickedly
And blowing out its icy breath
Upon my neck

Into the very marrow Of my soul
Chilled through
And stiffened to the bone,

Notes from the Oil Fields.

The Central Oil Company has added
another large producer to it's property
The new well adds $50 barrels per day
to the output of the company. Another
well goes on the pump in few days
and September will snow an increase
of production over any other month of
at least 5000 barrels. The price con-
tinues at $1.25 per barrel and the de-
mand largely exceeds the output from
the % wells now pumping.
The New Century OIL Company has
uncovered a 200-barrel producer in
Placerita Canyon, in the Newhall field.
The oil is a pure white distillate of
about AZ deg. gravity, and has been
used under the boilers for some time.
1t burns with an intense heat, and has
been successfully used in gasoline
engines. H. o. Haines, treasurer of
the New Century Company, says that
this oil is worth $3.50 per barrel as it
flows from the well.
The Los Angeles Oil Exchange is to
publish daily bulletin. 1t will con-
tain a list of the licensed brokers and
members of the exchange, of the
exchange, of the transactions of the
day, the standing of companies and
others matters of interest. Beginning
September 1, the exchange will call
stocks daily at 10 a. m.
The Redondo Beach Oil Company's
we'll at Redondo, which has been
watched with considerable interest,
has been abandoned and the drilling
tools shipped away.
At Little Sespe, Four Forks and Tar
Creek, all very close together, the
Union has 25 wells producing on an
average about 20 barrels a day each.
In Torrey Canyon the company's No.
46, which was recently brought in,
shows up for nearly a hundred barrel
well. Nos. 40, Al and 48 are drilling
at various depths. A rig is up for
No. 49 and locations have been made
for Nos. so, 81 and 81. In Adams Can
yon the company has one well drill
ing. Preparations are being made to
drill 4OO0-foot hole in this canyon, if
found necessary.
A lease has been recorded between
the Elsinore Oil and Development
Company and the Temescal Water
Company, whereby the first mentioned
corporation is to be permitted to put
down wells in the east end of the dry
lake bed on land belonging to the
water company. One of the conditions
is that development shall begin at

CABINET THINKS OF NOME
Will Send Transport to Bring Back the
Needy Miners China.

Washington.-The regular Friday
Cabinet meeting was held today. The
Chinese situation was, of course, the
all-important question, but as the
United States has announced its policy
to the powers, no further step is pos
sible until the replies are received.
The question, therefore, did not actu-
ally receive much consideration at the
meeting today.
Only two other subjects, besides that
of China, were considered-the condi
tion of several hundred or thousand
destitute miners at Cape Nome, and
of large number of Indian tribes in
Alaska. 1t was decided that the War
Department should send transport to
Cape Nome to bring back such of the
miners as are penniless and liable to
endanger the public welfare there this
winter by reason of their destitute
condition. 1t is believed that large
proportion of those who flocked to
Nome so early in the spring, hoping
to ''strike it rich are stranded. Pro-
visions and clothing will be sent to
the Indians, who are said to be dest-
tute. So
When the Cabinet met today, so far
as known but one reply to the Amer
lean note had been received. This is
from France, and expressed, so it is
said, complete acquiescence with the
United States view of the situation.
