"Capt. A. g. Hawes."
Judging from the amount paid
for stationery, $500, there ought to
be enough of the stuff on hand to
enable this Legislature TO eend to
each indiyidusl memb-r an engroM-
ed invitation to quit his job.
Paints aud oils, etc, amounted to
S2,S03 01-materisl euongh that, il
evenly spread, might cover the
Bungalow bar, providing the pay
roll of the laborers OF the "diuinH-
room for the Ssnate committee
room" and the coil" would hold out.
To bs serious, Mr.. President, the
majority OF your committees feal sur
prised at the attitude OF the minor
,ty OF the committee at tnis time.
During the regular session you will
remember how Le stond almost
alone in his f-arless uttersnras
against the open and shameless
method Of making saloon annex Of
the above mentioned dining room"
Why should Wa continue mill
tary Hervice 80 eff-te as this one mas
b4come7 Why hold NJ to thu rivil
departments Of the Government this
relic of repression aud eubv ,rsi IN OF
- A., .i,la
swallows the taxes without any re-
turn except in services which mean
the collection OF more taxes, Whist
shall become of the young men who,
entering the military service, fnd
those noble attributes which the
minority claims for mil aty dis
cipliue are, in fact, entirely lost
sight Of. ~"
We are asked for means to extend
this service to make it more ''t fec.
tive" to organize C mpsry on
Kauai, another on Moloka', one at
Lahaina, at Kohs sla. aud for what2
ls it not for the same thing Tor
which the Pennsylvania troops ware
created aud ordered outf To sup
press" thu mill workers OF Hou g.
stead and force them to return TO
work when they endeavored to Sc
cure q greater measure Of the fruits
OF their laboI7 And were oot these
wage-workers shot down by the
dozens7 D. we not see today the
former owner OF that Homestead
plant a one hundred millionaire,
parading up and down the United
States looking for places to give
away the earnings Of those men
buried under the scd Of that battle
field at Homestead' The Safe OF
Pennsylvania paid the shooters.
God forbid that We, in attempting
to establish government Of the peo-
pie, by ths people and for the peo-
pie, should forget the constitutional
privileges contemplated thereby,
equal riRhts for all, apecial privi
leRes for Dohe.
Let those who fill this country
with ignorant, uncontrollable ele-
meuts bear the burden OF so doing.
II we cannot prevent their coming,
let ue not put anything between
them and an honest living.
The strike Just clesrd at Alb,ny.
N. Y, cost enough money to have
paid the advances asked by the
strikers for ten years, but the mill
tary were called out and inpoct ut |
lives were sacrificed in an eudeaVor
to suppress" aud awe citizens of |
the United States.
For these reasons, Mr.. President,
your committee feel that the best |
iaterest Of this immunity will be
served by loading ths eutire mil
tary paraphernalia aboard scow,
have her towed three miles from
shore, and be stuG fed to the sharks
of the sea, aud, dispensing with
military appropriations, do away
with those who, on occaaion, might
assist land sharks to become cur
masters.
