Concerning the Pilot Knob Election.

These matters are facts not theories,
and the time for discussing them is
past. What is needed is action, not
words. 1t will take time and money
to remedy these evils. The time we
have, and the money will be forth COM
ing as soon as the taxpayers feel as
sured that they will get full value for
the taxes and assessments that they
pay into the City Treasury of Pilot
Knob, and have confidence in the ad-
ministration that will have the expen-
diture of the same. II not, We do not
care to continue to exist. The only
nuts to be distributed will be distrib-
uted to the people and to the taxpayers
of Pilot Knob, and not to any individal
or set of individuals who may feel that
they have an undue right to feed or
gormanlze from the public crib.

May they get in.
The old man was gently mapping,
His deep snores filling the air,
All unconscious what was happening,
Meath his window on the stair,
Where youth was gently pressing,
fair maiden tall and slim,
While he held her hands caressing,
She made s'goo-goo" eyes at him.
AS he told the story olden,
From her throne in azure blue,
The moon shone down safe and golden,
Lighting up Page Avenue
He swore she was the fairest;
Of her beauty he was proud.
And the moon slightly embarrassed,
Hid his face behind cloud.
The hours had been Fastening,
When at last he said farewell,
And she felt along the casing,
AS she gently touched the bell,
Then the door ope'd was mysterious,
BY the old man glum and sour,
He was wondering what so serious,
Should awake him at this hour.
Lightly tripped she in the hallway,
This maid SO tender and so fair,
Turned to cast one lingering longing,
Love glance as she reached the stair.
Saw figure at the landidg,
His night robe toying with the breeze,
Very much abbreviated,
Struck him just above the knees.
Wildly shrieked she in ner terror,
Just as if she'd seen mouse,
Realizing now her error,
That she got in the wrong house,
He caught a glimpse of skirts and ruffies,
As she rushed out of the door,
Heard voice say, somewhat ruffled-'
Thought this was 3-5-3-4.

authorities Of what was going on

and he feared that they would repeat

Sheriff at once sent off three special
officers TO the premises Of the Chinese

entered them under arrest

for money were made last night short
ly after dark, and promptly refused.
They came again and again, and were
met with a refusal in each instance.
AT length the victim thought that the
motives of the men were of such a na-

police department with the affair. and
he made hasty drive to the station

Three nights ago q raid of highbind-

They approached his place stealthily,
and suddenly tore down his lattice

depredations, and the Deputy Sheriff
at once set the machinery Of the de-

result that a lame Chinese was ar

From morning until night they work

Brutal treatment was theirs whenever
the women whom Lam Zip had in his
establishment as his wives. desired to
vent their anger upon them. They
were struck with fists. sticks of wood
or anything that was handy to use as
a weapon Blows of one kind or an
other were rained upon them day in
and day out.
A month ago one OF the girls who
had suffered the harsh treatment as
long as she was able, ran away and
found shelter in kewalo There the
Deputy Sheriff found the girl. Lam
Zip assisted in the hunt for her, but
when the girls story was told and the

took the girl to some of her relatives

A pitiful case, showing the life OF
slavery young Chinese girls in Homo
lulu are compelled TO live. was brought
to light last night by the fight of
an eighteen-y year-old Chinese girl from
the house of Lam Zip, a wealthy and
influential Chinese who lives in Pawaa
nahou. The poor girl fed from the
house Of her master to escape the cruel
treatment to which she has been sub
5ected for years. and is now under the
protection Of the police. Where she
would find shelter when she made up
her mind to leave her brutal taskmas-
ters she did not know. Her only
thought was to get into the city by
night SO that she could not be follow
ed, and take chances that she would
find a kind-hearted person who would
pity her condition.
Sing Choy is the girls name. She
is a comely maiden, in whose patient
ox-like eyes there was a look OF fear
as If she was afraid her master would
find her and take her back to the
house she detested. She left lam
Yip's abode just after dark, and ran
down the street until she came to the
residence Of L. c. Parish. in Pawaa-
Here she stopped. Her forlorn appear
ance attracted the attention Of Mrs.
Parish, who called TO. her. The girl
trernSlingly and in broken English
told Mrs. Parish that she had run
away from her master and was seeking
protection. Mr.. Parish saw at once
that il was a case for the police, and
telephoned to Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth at the latter's home. The Dep
uty Sheriff went at once to the Parish
residence and took the girl in charge,
conveying her in a hack to the police
station.
She was dressed in an ordinary jack
et and wide trousers of blue denim
cloth such as Chinese women Of the
lower class generally wear. She car
ried a bundle of her possessions tied
up in a pocket handkerchief. In this
was cigar box containing few
trinkets. while the rest of the bundle
