WHITE MEN IN HAWAII
statsz.Ant That They AEs Able to Stand the HeAt-ThofR Labor Pre-.
 ferrsd by PS9nters.

D. A. Ray, Senator Gullon's private secretary, who was associated with the Hawaiian commission in clerical ca- pacity, is in Chicago. He lately re- turned from a three months visit to Hawaii, where he conducted certain in- vestigations in behalf of the commis- sion regarding different phases of the oriental or contract labor problem.
 Pending the adoption of government laws for the islands. it has been charged that the government there has permit ted the importation of large numbers of Japanese laborers, the idea being to rush them in before the contract labor laws of the United States become op- erative.
 "I am convinced the government has not permitted anything of the kind," said Mir. Ray, "and believe it has exer- cised the greatest care in admitting only such laborers as seemed absolutely necessary to meet the Imperative de mands of the sugar planters. When large planter went to the officials and said it was necessary for him to secure additional help or suffer heavy fnan- cial loss, and an investigation proved the truth of his statement, he was per mitted to secure such a number of men as would do the work, but no more, and care was taken in drawing the con- tract SO that st the expiration of their term of service the men should be re- turned to their native countryLam persuaded the government is dealing fairly with this country.
 ''It has been frequently said that oriental labor is necessary in doing the work of cultivatiHg and gathering the cane, and that white labor is incapable of standing the york;" continued MT. Ray. "I looked into that subject thor oughly, and am convinced that not only is the white man capable of standing the work in question, but that he can do the work better than the brown mar, as the Japanese are called. The climatic conditions which, it has been said, the white man cannot stand, are a myth. It is unquestionably hot in the cane fields at times, but hotter weather is to be found in this country.
 ''The best proof of my statement is found in the result of actual experi- ments that have been conducted on one of the large plantations, to which 14 Americans were taken from California. saw number of these men, and all of them declared they had not suffefed from the hot weather as much as in California. Contrary to the generally accepted opinion, the planters prefer white labor to oriental. ."-N. Y. Trib- une.

SHOULD COAL GIVE OUT.
Efectrtcaz Energy and Natural Forces Would Supply Plenty
 of pOwcF.

Are we utterly dependent upon coal, so that the wheels of industry will stop and the forests be consumed for fuel when coal gives out? Of course not. It is an idle fear. Already we have the be- ginnings of new method Of utilizing natural energy which will prove enor- mously more effective than coal ever has been, and will be practically inex- haustible to whatever extent industry may expand, says Gunton's Magazine.
 Electrical energy, developed by water power, will run the worlds industries, furnish it's light and heat, and be the universal substitute for all forms of combustion methods. Water power is practically unlimited, and it will be util- ized more and more in proportion as the need for it arises and as it becomes, at different places and at successive peri ods, cheaper than coal. The substitu- tion will proceed gradually, until, when the coal supply finally is exhausted, mo- body will have anything more than a curious or academic interest in the mat ter, and probably not ripple will be produced in the steady onward flow of the worlds industry. As the use of wa ter power to develop electrical energy increases to the point of formidable competition with coal. electrical stu dents and inventors will doubtless bring out Improvements making it possible to store the power or conduct it long dis tances at small cost, until our factories, railroads and ships can be operated by It, our houses lighted and warmed and food prepared, all at even less expense man IS possible to-day with coal.

 He is a candidate who, declaring that this was a reVolutiona- . ry movement, no sooner found himself face to face with the American feeling than he realized that this soil was not propitious to revolution: that the peo- pie of this country will not change the institutions which have stood tha tests and experiences of q century for institutions based upon the fantastic dreams of pOpulist agitators: that the American nation will never consent to substitute the republic of Washington, of Jefferson and of Jackson for the re- public of an Altgeld, Tillman or a Bryan. .'-Bourke Cocgran in 1896.

THE FOOLISH CALF.-When Sen ator Hanna spoke at Youngstown. O.. recently, he told a story of calf that left it's mother to run after a steer. Secretary Heath has taken up this idea and developed it into campaign pos ter which very artistically depicts Sen ator Hanna's idea. The calf is seen chasing the steer in the distance; the COW is in the foreground sauntering quietly home, while the boy stands with uplifted fist shaking it at the calf, say ing: "Yon little fool. you little fool. you durned fool, you'll be sorry when supper time comes." The picture is en- titled The Foolish Calf. or a. Lesson to Labor" and standing by a fence in front of a cottage are d working man and woman, the man with full din- her pail in his hand. This picture is sure to catch on and is likely to be good vote Setter Upon Senator Han mas return t1 Chicago it was shown to him and surprised him. He had no idea that Heath had been developing this idea.

Why is Oklahoma, with its half mill lion of people, struggling for state-
 hood? If the territor- REPUBLI- ial condition is so agree CANS MUST able, as some Arizoni-
 WIN. ans maintain that it Is.
 why is the territory of gr'eatest population and greatest Individual wealth trying unremit- tingly to enter the gI5at sister hood. The reason is plain. Because the people of Oklahoma appreciate the Iact that statehood brings with it pop- ulation and wealth and the confidence of investors. They have before them the examples of Idaho and Montana and Wyoming and the Dakotas. where statehood has produced marvellous ef- rects
 The investing world fights shy of a territory. It does not care to venture big sums in regions that are chased as frontier simply because they have the territorial form of government. Approaching all this the Oklahonlans are pushing toward the goal. They ex- pect to succeed this year.
 Arizona has equal need of statehood. All the reasons urged in behalfof Okla homa apply as strongly here. We have immense treasures Of gold and silver and copper awaiting the advent of capital. Great reservoir projects lag for lack of eastern confidence and capital. The capital and population that would follow statehood would make Arizona the most prosperous state in the southwest.

The severity with which time and statistics deal with Democratic theories
 seems almost pitiful.
 THE The following table, FARMERS which shows the ex
 FOREIGN ports of the three great
 MARKET. classes of agricultur-
 al products, animals breadstuffs. and provisions, and the total exportation of the products of agriculture in the fiscal years 1892, 1895, and 1900, is a simple illustration of the falsity of one of their numerous theo- rIes and assertions.
 When the Dingley tariff bill was un- der consideration they were loud in their assertions. as they have been when other tariff bills were being con- sidered, that q protective tariff would greatly injure the farmers foreign market :. ''If you do not buy from people you cannot sell to them" was their every day assertion. and this was followed by the claim that the reduction of our inn ports would destroy or reduce our mar ket abroad for agricultural products.
 Yet here are the official figures show ing our exports of anima,s. breadstuffs, provisions and total agricultural pro ducts in the fiscal year 1892, all of which was under the Mckinley protective tariff. 1895, all of which was under the Wilson low tariff, and 1900, all of which was under the Dingley protective tariff. Study them and see if you think the Democratic theory that protective tariff injures the foreign market is any better than their numerous other theo- rieS that have been exploded by the experiences of the past few years:

The report is current that Colonel Wilson has had a genuine attack of
 cold feet" and will
 HOW withdraw this time
 ABOUT TT, without fail. Inasmuch
 WILSON? as the colonel took the
 pains to visit The Re publican office a few weeks ago to de- ny a statement regarding his with drawal which We had published, and declared at that time that he would stay in the race until the bitter end. We do not feel like crediting this latest re- port until he gives some indication of it's correctness. Smith and Wilson have been touring in the same regions, some times appearing together on the same platforms and each has declared him. self to be the regular candidate. Will sons remarks, according to our cOrre- spondl5nts, being extraordinarily fervid. For this reason we are a little skepti- cal as to this latest attempt to pull the colonel out of the arena
 The report has it that he has been promised the governorship if he will give Smith clear field. If Wilson has kept track of the national campaign and We assume that he has. this prom ise can not be very alluring to him. And of course the anxiety of the Smith faction to get rid of him has not been lost upon him. While the Smithocrats have been pooh-poohing his candidacy they yet have lost much sleep and have kept the wires hot trying to get him on th= side track.
 However. the situation is not worry ing the republicans. The result on cleo tiOn day will not be particularly af feeted by Wilson's action. This is republican year, a statehood year. and the patriotic voters of Arizona are going to make the most of it by electing N. O. Murphy to congress. In the event of Wilson's withdrawal it will, of course, be amusing to watch the demo- cratic papers that have been abusing Mark Smith try to swallow their words. As we have heretofore remarked: This is q campaign as is a campaign"

A friend of Judge Baker declares to Us his belief that the judge did not wilfully endeavor to misleadt his au- dience last Monday night when he as- serted that the funding of county in- debtedness burdened the territory with that indebtedness. And yet the judge that evening pointed out incidents in his career designed to illustrate his trickiness as lawyer. Assuming. however. that he was honest in his be- lief regarding the effect of the funding law. where does that leave him? It's a lawyers business to know the law. The judge gave an entirely incorrect statement concerning that particular law. To a man up a tree it looks as if explanations tended to put the learned jurist deeper in the hole.
