Representative mccall goes back to
Washington with his views on the Philip
pines unchanged, and his courage to
speak them undiminished. The policy we
have pursued toward Cuba he would like
to see extended to the Pacific islands, and
he isn't afraid TO say so in plain and un-
ambiguous language. There is little
reason Tor any expectation that this wish
will be realized unless the Supre me

place In Lubec, the PRESS said And
now the postmaster has disappeared

the statement was meant to refer to the
postmaster OF North Lubec, whose disap-
pearanoe had been reported In our news
columns. AS it wes written it could
be construed by person who had not
read the despatch as referring to the
postmaster of Lubec, who is different
person altogether. The name of the post
master who has disappeared is IL w.
Reynolds. The name Of thu postmaster
at Lubeo whom the paragraph might i'm

the error and are exceedingly sorry that
an inadvertenoe on our part should
have been the means of casting an unjust
reflection on MIR. Case.

In a great many case, because they are n a condition of wOmany weakness which is

there can be no sound physical health unless the womany health is sound so init
mate is the relation between local and general health and so absolute is the depend

THE PLUMBING TRUST.

The interviews with the Pacific

Iron Works Company, published here
with, should be read by every man who
values freedom. They throw a flood of
light on the trust situation in the Unit
ed States. and show why the feeling
there is so intense upon the subject.
This is about the first time that we
of Hawaii have come in contact with
the practical working of trust, and it
leaves a bad taste in the mouth. An
old-fashioned citizen, unused to these
close corporation, arbitrary methods,
will rub his eyes and pinch himself to
make sure whether he is in Russia or
the United States. According to these
interviews. the dealers are victims as
well as the consumer. From the char
acter of the men composing the two
companies, and their present action, 1T
appears plain that they were not con-
sciously violating any law when they
entered into the preliminary agree
ment. Unfortunately, however, the
agreement gave certain INSCRIPTIONS

the opportunity was improved.

There is only one'other plumbing sup

The stand taken by the two COM

the claws of one swpuld-be cinching

out; two dealers have broken away

plumbers whom they would better
