Complaint IS made to us by Home
Rulers that this journal does not call
their party Republican, or in other
words become particeps criminis in
their attempt to deceive Washington
for spoils. We beg to say that there
is but one Republican organization in
Hawaii, and that Is the one which Is
recognized as such by the Republican
National Committee. which named the
ticket the Home Rulers opposed at the
polls last year. and which will nomi-
nate candidates who will get the same
opposition this year. Officially speak
ing the Home Rulers have no right to
call themselves Republicans, though
the way will be open to them to ac-
quire it by voting the Republican tick
ct. II they ever do that the Advertiser
will not be last 10 welcome them into
the party. But at present they are
quite outside the breastworks.

A DANGEROUS PROPOSAL.

MT Bryan can hardly have stopped
TO think before he let his paper advo-
cate the exclusion of japanese from
the United States. There is no flood of
Oriental labor to excuse or compel such
a measure, the Tokyo government hav-
ing, without special pressure, cut off
the major part of the supply; and as
for tourists and commercial people from
Japan no more desirable class visits
the country. Nor should Mr.. Bryan
persuade himself that even the United
States could enter with impunity upon
course that would make Japan I'M
friendly. That country Is not an inert
and loose confederacy like China, capa-
bic Of being safely treated in cavalier
fashion, but a great power whose
friendship is as much to be coveted as
its enmity is to be escaped-a power
which dominates the sea in that part
OF the East where America hopes to
build up a great foreign trade; which
has population that is not only in
tensely patriotic and sensitive, but is as
strong numerically as were the people
of the North and South combined dur
ing the American civil war: which
maintains a navy nearly as large as
ours and an army three times as large
one by the way. which contributed
the troops of best discipline and ap-
pearance at Picking. 1t is no light thing
10 afront the empire OF Japan and If
that would have been the polic-- OF
Bryan in the Presidency It simply adds
TO public satisfaction that he did not
get CHARGE - FI' tFa r0st.

Audubon's Old Home.

An enterprising photogra pher has Sc
cured picture of notable old log
Eouse-once the home of John James
Audubon, the renowned ornithologist.
During the past two years, since the
organization of Audubon societies be-
gan, hundreds of people have visited
Henderson, Ky, to see this historic
landmark. This rude building was the
home of Audubon in 1S1S-long years
before the world knew of him-while
yet his life study, in which he was so
eminently successful was just begin
ming. This was his home during those
years of his life when he studied bird
nature simply for the love of it-never
dreaming that he would one day stand
upon the highest pinnacle of fame's
he would one day ascend
to a plane of eminence and unques
toned authority in ornithology.
This was his home when, in 1918.

Galato, near Constantinople, Turkey, d
naturalist of great reputation, descend
ed the Ohio river in a rude ark" as
such craft was then called, and learn

sought his acquaintance and Joined
him in the favorite study of both.
These two men, with like natures,
tastes and ambition-lovers of nature
and her wild songbirds, soon became
intimate and were for months insepara-
bic.
From this old house, then in the
midst OF dense woodland, they would
together HE themselves to the virgin

commune with nature and to search

knowledge of her feathered children.

known to wander away into the deep,
painless woods. where they would re-

wild fruit and the flesh of the game
that fell by their rifles: their wherea-
bouts unknown save to themselves
and the birds.--Louisville Courier

A citizen of this city, spending the
winter in Washington, writes to a friend
mere that in army and navy circles at
the capital the feeling exists that the
rapid annexationists of these Islands
having secured their ends are now do

doubt aggravated by statements made by
United States officials residing here. 1t
was unfortunate that the United States
Court for this Territory found so much
difficulty In finding office room when it
arrived here; for lack of hospitality made
bad feeling with the court officials.
Again, the attempt OF a syndicate to Sc
cure a plot of ground for a United States
building near Palace square, for which a
fancy price was to be asked and which
was headed off by Delegate Wilcox, who
denounced the scheme as a job. The
condemnation proceedings for land Dor
dering on Pearl Harbor, now in the Unit

INTO fame the feel ng that the people
of this Territory are striving to loot the
Treasury at Washington. A half hour

A LAIR OF THIEVES.

Rents In the neighborhood of Thorn
as square ought to come down If half
the stories about hold-ups and at
tempted robberies there are true.
Scarcely a week passes but the report
comes in that some belated citizen
crossing the park has been stopped or
chased or that some house In the vi
entity has been tempered with. An in
cident in point is reported in this morn
ing's paper. Apparently the lawless
element uses the square, which is now
unlighted. except on band nights, as a
hiding place. emerging from the shad-
ows to commit depredations and enter
ing them again to select the best route
of escape IL any one pursues. The place
is also well designed for highway rob-
berry. It would surprise the public to
see a list for even six months past of
the reported criminal occurrences there
or whereabouts. Last summer on
Young street, near the square, there
was q veritable epidemic OF attempted
burglaries. Tuesday night just opposite
the shaded lair, a household was dis
turbed by an unwelcome visitor.
There are two ways to deal with this
condition, and one is to put "a least
three arc lights In the park and keep
them running all night: and the other
Is to have a policeman constantly on
duty and put a telephone at the band
stand to register urgent calls from peo-
pie In that district who may be dis
turbed by providers of the night. In
fact, both plans might well be tried in
common. At any rate something prac-
teal should be done to free the neigh
borhood of Thomas square from a Sc
rious menace and to head off the
alarming spread of burglaries and hold
ups-something far more practical. be
II said. than dependence upon a mount
ed policeman with long beat, or upon
the vigilance of sleeping residents.

Bryan realizes that the sphere of his political activities

He realizes that the next Presidential nomination VIII

the nominee will be either Eastern Democrat, or
man from anotehr locality dictated by Eastern Democ
racy and controlled by He knows that he is not to
be taken into the councils of the leaders even in an ad
vsorv capacity that he has "cu out" completely
Papably his course is not to be a candidate himself
and not to have candidate But he means to have re-
venge His talk Of harmon is ronica and ne does not
trouble himself to make his sarcasm too obscure. In
the last campaign he Inundated himself by compromising
with the Cleveland crowd It bitter pill he swat
Iowed the day he announced that Tammany was great
and that Croker was prophet The pill did no good
The Eastern Democrats had resolved smashing him
and smash him they did They would smash him again
in 1904 if given the chance and he knows it
So he will do little smashing his own account
in due time In the meanwhile he will fall back into
the attitude which he assumed early in the campaign of
1896 and which he reinquished the campaign grew
older and which he forsook entirely in 1900 This is
the attitude Of complaint against putocracy 1t is i'm

and will hold period to Bryan small personal fol

dictate.
