1T MUST BE KILLED.

We may well take warning from
Japan. The plague has again broken
out in the province Of Osaka, after
having disappeared for ninety days.
The rats are credited with spreading it,
and rats which have been examined bv
psychologists have been found to con-
tain plague bacilli.
With these facts before us. the stand
taken by DR.. Wood with regard to the
opening up of Chinatown, should meet
with the strongest public support. The
rats are certainly returning to town,
and If the infected ground of the former
Chinatown is covered with buildings,
and food stuffs are stored there, or res
taurants and lodging houses are erect
ed and occupied, the rats will naturally
return to that portion of the city. At
present, as the area is a waste, the
rats do not go there. The rat only goes
where he can get plenty to eat.
The new houses in Chinatown will of
course be all thoroughly clean, but
what is the condition of the soil? Until
we have absolute certainty upon this
point, through the experiments now be-
ing carried on by DR.. Hoffman, we can
not with safety allow the old China
town ground to be built upon.
Our aim is to completely eradicate the
plague. We want no return of the dis
ease. Our drastic treatment of it has
been unique in the history of plague
fights. The destruction by fire and
leaving the ground fallow, till every
germ is destroyed, is what is known to
be absolutely safe. Those who are
clamoring against the Board Of Health,
and imputing motives to it, which do
not exist, would probably be satisfied
with the Bombay method, where the
houses in which plague has occurred
have the door jambs marked with cir
Giles and half circles in red paint The
circles denote the number of deaths
from plague that have occurred in the
house, and the half circles the number
of plague cases that have recovered.
We want no such records here. We
have acted here in way that leaves
no door jambs to be decorated. With
us it is a fight to a finish, and to make
a mistake now would be fatal to all that
has been done before, and would make
the sums of money which have been I'M
grudgingly poured out, so much wasted
cash. We might as well have saved it.,
and accepted plague as an annual wish
tor. That is not the view that Dr..
Wood takes nor is it the view of ma
jority of the community.

and Of sport are oh the, side Of Califor-
mia, as against Florida, and yet for one
eastern tourist California gets, Florida
captures ten. Says Mr. Hart;
1.-THE solution Of the mystery is that
Florida is advertised and California is
not The Florida hotel companies,
steamship companies, and railway COM
panies deluge the whole country east
of the Missouri with advertising mat
ter handsomely printed and illustrated.
Yet in all the eastern periodicals 1 see
but two advertisements of California,
one from the Southern Pacific, and the
other from the Santa Fe. The men at
the head of these great corporations
care little for passenger business. The
money is made in freights. Hence the
meagre advertising appropriation given
to the passenger departments. This is
all the advertising California is get
ting. Yet IL she does not care to ad-
vertise her own advantages, I do not
see why the railway companies should
care to do it for her."
These are words which should be taxi
en- to heart here. We need to set forth
our natural advantages; we need. to
show what a desirable health resort
these Islands offer, and we need to over
come prejudice which must have arisen
through our plague disaster. We used
to have a bureau of information, but
that has long since dropped out of sight.
We may be sure that unless we exert
ourselves, nobody will exert himself for
us. 1t is to the direct interest of every
merchant and every retail dealer, to the
interest of all the hotel keepers, to the
interest of livery stable keepers, of all
transit companies, to attract people
here. Money spent in advertising the
Islands returns a hundredfold. Be
cause it does not all come in lump,
short sighted people fail to realize its
advantages. We must cease to be short
sighted.

ADVERTISE.

The Islands are not advertised
brought into public notice through the
discussion of their political status, but
what we want to get at is different
kind of notice. We want to reach the
travelling public, the tourist class. Po-
litical disquisitions do not interest
them. We want the Islands to become
a winter resort, similar to the resorts
in Florida. s.
How little is known about the Islands
in spite of all that has been written
about them is shown in public utter
ances in the Senate and in the House,
in absurd statements which appear in
the periodicals, and in letters which are
forwarded here asking for information.
To many congressman the Islands are
still in a state of semi barbarism, that
can be seen in the debate upon the Ha-
waiian bill. Harper's Weekly published
very accurate and brilliant sketch of
the Islands by Caspar Whitney, which
was admirably illustrated, yet in an
article upon the census, it speaks of
that on Hawaii as going to be carried
on by means of rowboats between the
many little islands, and does so with
the perfect self satisfaction of ignor-
ance. 1t was only the other day that
President Dole received a letter from
the head Of the humane societies of the
United States asking If bull fighting
still continued here, and putting num-
Der of other questions which showed
plainly how utterly uniformed, about
conditions here, heqwas.
If, in these three prominent directions
there is such lack of information, how
much less information must there be
in the mass of the people, and it is from
the mass Of the people that we are to
get at our tourist class.
The only way TO reach the tourist
public is by advertising, and advertis-
ing persistently. We have advertised a
little, but 1t has been very little in
deed-a spasmodic effort, illustrative of
the lack of tenacity, rather than an
advertising with a fixed purpose. Now
one would think that California was
well advertised, but Jerome A. Hart,
who has been spending the winter east,
points out that 1t is not, and if Califor-
mia is not, what is Hawaii.
Mr.. Hart points out that the advan-
tages Of climate, of health, of scenery

A COOL REQUEST.

A statement made by one of the
speakers at the meeting of the district
committees of the Republican party
last evening was refreshing in it's sim
plicity. A gentleman is reported as
saying, I'VE should be bound to vote
for Republican nominees, no matter
who they are. Party fealty should be
highest. If they are corrupt we should
still vote for them"
1t seems hardly possible that anyone
should advocate such a doctrine. Ac-
cording to this If the leaders of the
party consider that a clever rogue
should have office, as reward for some
previous rascality in which he may
have been useful, every honest Republi-
can voter will have to scar his con-
science and vote according to orders.
This is machinery with a vengeance.
On this principle, as Senator Clark of
Montana is a Republican the whole Of
the Republican Senators ought to have
voted for his retaining his seat, though
he has been found to have been a cham
pion briber, and to have corrupted the
political morals of a whole state. Poll
tics are bad enough, but it is to be
hoped that they will not get quite as
bad as this. ur tE...
The effect of such priciple would be
to drive great many voters from join
ing the party organization. No men of
free and advanced liberal thought are
going to bind themselves to any such
doctrine. BY doing such a thing they
forfeit their own individuality. A man
may be in thorough accord with the
principles of the Republican party and
may believe in every plank in it's plat
form, but he is certainly not going TO
tie on to a set of men, who, as far as
local politics are concerned call him to
pledge himself to vote for Republican
nominees even "if they are corrupt" If
that is the party plank in Hawaii a
very large number of strong Republic
cans will keep away from that section
of politicians.

1t is not often that we have such a
case Of brutality as came up in the
police court yesterday. There will be
further developments in the future, so
that the case cannot be commented up
on fully, but as far as Whally Davis is
concerned, who was punished by the
court yesterday, the record is clear. He
did not get as heavy a sentence as he
deserved. 1t is a pity that the law
does not permit that brute like this
should not have some Of his own medi-
cine, and have a good logging at stated
intervals. That is. the way certain hu-
man brutes get sentenced in England.

The Honolulu Parkhurst campaign
has begun, and everyone wishes Theo-
dore Richards success in his efforts to
secure moral purity. Mr.. Richards has
made a thorough study of the social
conditions under which the seamy side
of the community lives, and the present
warrants are intended to clear
the town of a set of rascals who live
upon the earnings of the fallen women
of their race. These men are moral
lepers, and the town will be well rid of
such filthy parasites.

 TIMOTHY o'sULLlvaN PUTS IN A CLAIM FOR PART oF
 O'SULLlVAN ESTATE
SON OF A BROTHER.
Mortimer o'Sullivan May Not Retain the Entire Es-
 tate.

The horrors of the burning of Mrs, F. O'Sullivan, and the death shortly thereafter Of her husband, Mir, F. O'Sullivan, which occurred in this city several months ago, are again brought into the public minds by the appearance of claim, supposed to have been established by son of long lost brother of the male de- ceased, and who is now preparing. so his Pine Bluff attorneys state, to come in for share of the large es. tate left by the deceased, who died lntestate.
 It will be remember by our readers that Mrs. F. O'Sulliyan fell into fire place at her home on West Second avenue and burned to death. It will also be remembered that Mir. O'Sullivan died few days thereafter. MT. O'Sullivan was one of the first settlers in this section and left considerable wealth and property
 The only living relative of the old couple, so far as the people Of this city knew, was nephew of Mrs. O'Sullivan, who resided with them the last few years Of their lives. He was, as was supposed by all, the only heir of this great estate. A few days after the burial Of the old couple, Mortimer O'Sulivan came here with bis family from 1ndi4Aanai and took possession Of the estate and occupied the O'Sullivan home for sometime. He established bis claim, alleging, and later proving, that he was a real brother of the deceased.
 Saturday it was announced in this city that another heir, Timothy O'sullivan, son of brother of the late OSulllvan, who left home in the year 1910 and of whom nothing was learned until Timothy, bis son, put minis claim for share of the estate. Heis not in Pine BlrfI but his attorneys, Reinberger q Ewing, will represent his interests.

 The house had very narrow es- cape from the flames. A large lamp which was sitting on a small table in froLt room fell over and explod- ed. The oil spread over the carpet and soon the curtains aud walls were ablaze. MT. Sparks discovered the fire h due time and saved his home from quick destruction. He ex- tinguished the flames, but in doing so, badly burneded hts hands. The room and contents were dam. aged to the extent of $50. No in suraace.

"pOOR MAYS SHELTER !"
The Future Depends Largely on Our
 Citizens.

The future success of the "Poor Mans Shelter depends largely aud almost entirely upon our citizens. Nearly four hundred meals and lodgings have been supplied tue destitute since the opening of tho
 shelter in Pine Bluff. The man. agers Of this place have secured twenty men employment, which speakes most commercially for tbem. Not an instance in which a man applied for help, has he refused to work, which goes to show that a man who is down n the world, if given a chance, will rise agala. A reading room filled with religious reading matter is free, and used in connection with the free meal depot.
 Rev. Holeombe can not conduct this depot without aid. and realizing thls, a local secret order contributed a $l0 check last woek. Let all re- spond with aid. It .ls worthy cause that should be pushed along.

CAPTURED AT GREENVILLE.
The Voss Robbers Are Now a Ger
 tainty for the Law to Act On.

The Voss robbers have been caught.
 They were taken in at Greenville Miss, Saturday morning by the police Of that place. The work was due to the trailing by the Pine Bluff police, who have labored with suc- cessfnl results since the robbery was committed to accomplish the arrest of the guilty parties.
 The thieves are negroes named Shannon. They are brothers and go by the names of Will and Slick" Very frequently they have been know to go by the alias Slick The negroes are the ones yho entered Voss' store. This latter fact was established by the Greenville authorities. The knives in their possession answer to the description of the lost articles, ana the revo.vers they had when arrest ed, bear the same manufactured nun bers that the books at Voss establishment call for.
 Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells sent applications up to Little Rock Saturday for requisition papers from the governor and as soon as they arrive, Constabe Stewart will be sent after the negroes. Chief Phiipot is too basy to leave the city.
