DOLE BEFORE CONGRESS.

One of the best things to come or
Gov. Dole's Washington visit is the
chance II will afford him to answer the
charge that he Vetoed all local legisla-
tive bills. thus compelling the people
of the Territory to appeal to Congress
for relief. This is the plea by which
Wilcox and others have hoped to in
duce Congress to give us an Illinois
school law, a Jersey county bill, spec
ulative railway franchise and good
many other things which Hawaii would
be better OFF for not having.
II will be the duty of the Governor
to show the committee before whom
he Is going to appear. that the DIS
vetoed by him or by Acting Governor
Cooper, or killed by the Republican
legislators, were among the most in
excusable pieces of legislation ever
known to an American law-making
body. These measures comprise
A bill legalizing gambling.
A bill legalizing witch-doctors.
A bill reducing the tax on female
dogs.
A bill granting a ftty-year railway
franchise. without safeguards or com.
