est tests a man can be put to, is per-
haps, to be in the position of a news
paper man, where the seamy side of
things are laid bare and the illusions
torn from the process of law-making,
and yet to retain his confidence in hu-
man nature. We have with US this
evening gentleman who has stood this
test Mr.. Boyd will speak to you"
Mr.. Boyd gravely acknowledged the
compliment paid him, and proceeded to
leisurely speak upon the subject given
him, How is Legislation Accomplish
ed?"
Il know how it is done" said he, be
cause have seen it done, and from the
outside. I have witnessed the tireless
efforts of those who have engineered
Legislative measures through, and have
seen the workings of the methods by
which our laws, good. bad and indif-
ferent. and perhaps in equal quantities,
are duly dished out. 1t is true Of the
national Legislature that it can do as
many bad things as any State or Terri
torial Legislature in a given time, but
fortunately the national Legislature
has a long session. and great many OF
the bad measures are killed, driven to
death, or die natural death before the
ten months session is over, leaving. /
believe, in most instances, a pretty
clear slate.
"The question asked me as to how leg
islation is accomplished, can probabl
be best answered by taking a supposi-
tious case. It is quite possible that
when the national Legislature gets to-
gather again there viii be Hawaiian
ad
the six principal measures which will
probably be passed at that time, and
passed without difficulty, for there is
/ but one side to these measures: to get a
/ fair idea of how legislation is accom-
plished we must take an example OF a
measure which presents clearly two
sides. At the next session Congress will
probably be asked to revise the Organic
Act; there will be both advocates and
opponents to this measure, and it pre-
sents a fair example to illustrate the
method by which legislation Is accom-
plished.
The bill must first be introduced by
the delegate, IL he does not feel that
he cannot do so because he does not
favor the bill, and If SO, by some friend
of the Territory. The method of in
+, PRODUCTION of a measure IS not at all
impressive. You simply drop your pa
per in a basket, and that is the last
you see of 1t until It is in the hands of
the committee. There is no speech
making, nothing. except that you drop
your measure quietly in and wait. Then
your first work is done but your work
really begins when you find your bill

tie goes to make the flesh and bone OF
the law. The committee Is overcrowd-
led with work. Fourteen thousand five
hundred and ninety-six was the number
of the last bill sent in last session
(which means that in the ten months O
the session nearly 1900 measures were
tpresented. The figures viii show tha

portance to a wide area, and occupy
! a great length of time, such as the War
Tax and the Nicaragua Canal measure,
which I believe, came up in some form

here that the chaff must be separated
from the wheat. 1t Is the duty of the
delegate TO get the bill out of the COM
mittee Right here. my friends, is

sent to represent a State or Territory
that can be purchased, or will sell his
conscience, There may be many of the
kind, as pessimists claim, but 1 have
:, been much around the legislative halls
and I believe I have never met one of
that kind.
Lobbyists, I want to say, too, are
/ of two classes, the legitimate and those
I that are not legitimate The kind that
is not legitimate is the kind that takes
money on false representations that he
can buy legislation and then cannot pro-
duce the goods. They are numerous:
every hotel in Washington blossoms with
the tips of their cigars-they are al
ways there with a gold brick ready to
sell it. But there is another kind of
/ lobbyist who, in the interest of his
State or Territory. works to get bill
through, by legitimate means. You
will find him at work in the proper
place When the representative finds his
bill in the hands of the committee. then

PLANTATION FIRE

A fire at the Honolulu plantationa
about midnight Saturday night, des-
troyed about two acres of cane. The fire
was seen by residents of the Peninsula
to whom i, looked at though the Ian
tation mill were afire, and Acting Gov
ernor Cooper telephoned his belief that
it was the mill, to the Oahu railway
officials and the fire department, with
the suggestion that an engine should
be- sent out. All arrangements to dc
this were made when it was found that
it was unnecessary.
AS soon as the fire was discovered al
the plantation, the laborers were put tc
work cutting the cane from around it.
so that the spread of the fire was made
impossible. Manager Low of the plan
tation says there is much to indicate
that the fire was of incendiary origin.
Today the cane from the burnt patch
is being cut and ground.

have issued a circular to the public,
through the Centre Catollco, in which
they mathematics the Government in

circular declares the Government has
declared war against God, and de-
nounces the members of the Philippine
Commission as four rickety brawlers.
The occasion for this is said to be that
in a recent local dispute in Tarlac City
Governor Taft issued proclamation to
the effect that he neither desired nor
could interfere in religious questions.

The pamphlet calls the Government

cutors and pusillanimous politicians.

church under the guise of pernicious
liberty, and are attempting to eclipse
the sun of the moral world. 1t calls on
