HOGS-There was another big slump In
the price of hogs today and in TACT II was
the most radical break that has taken
place In a long time. Packers started In
bidding 25c lower than yesterdays average
and, as all other points were quoted lower.
sellers could do nothing but accept the
bids; The liberal receipts helped packers
IN their attempt to pound the market, so
That they had things pretty much their
own way. The bulk of the hogs sold from
$6I5 to $3.50 and a choice bunch sold as
slew and weak, as packers were All well
filled up and did not care whether they got
any more hogs or not. IL was rather late
before a clearance was made.
Today's decline carries the market to the
lowest point reached since April Q. Repre-

FACTS FOR MIR. ROOSEVELT.
Will He Help the Carpet-baggers
 Bedevil and Loot Hawaiip

Paclnc Commercial Advertiser
 Let us review the situation in a few piain words: When the present Dole par ", for the sake of honest government here, struck down the monarchy, 1t natur- ally incured the hatred of the Monarch lsts. These were in the majority. and when Congress made this land Terri tory they became the majority voters un- der the American system. In revenge they sought to compel MT. Dole's retirement. This effort as might have been expected, brought professional job chasers here from every part of the Union. These men saw. as did the carpet -baggers who went South in 1S67-6s, that a newly en- franchfsed alien race. casting a majority vote and intent on getting control of af- fairs. yet unfamiliar with the methods of politics, would be easy to lead, and that the leaders might get power and plumber. So all hands started to .'do'' pol itics. Their first and vital success was to capture the organization of the Re- publican Party through colonized prima- ries. The aborigines. who made no pre- tense of being Republicans, aided them and the Dole party. though in an actual Republican majority, were swamped at the polls. Having the primaries. it was easy for the Dlotters to control the con- vention and defeat resolution limiting Republican primary votes to members of the party bearing that name. And there by came the appearance of Harold Sewall. an ambitious and wholly unscrupulous politician. as Republican committeeman from Hawaii The entire outfit-Monarch- ists. carpet-basgrrs and machine poliu- cfans, with an alien race-alien of thought and alien of speech-behind them, con- stitute the And-Dole party of these B. lands. Let conservatism be thrust aside and Hawaii will see things in political misgovernment that will seem like Tam many Hall and the rule of the Southern carpet -bagsers combined-things that will hurt the Roosevelt administration and give the policy of an expanded Union much to explain away.
 In the meantime. what? Certainly therS will be no peace in Hawaiian politics. Our party of good government will not yield to the worst elements to get har- mony. There can be no harmony with corrupt men in power. The history or Theodore Roosevelt shows that the most appreciated and useful service public man can render to the State is to wage war. and to keep waging war. upon the enemies of good govern nent. To that duty the most unselfsh men of Hawaii have been committed for sixty years and they are likely to abandon it when their territory is menaced by system Of rule beside which the government of Ali Baba and his forty thieves would seem respect able. ,, -.
 There can be no peace without honor; and the acceptance of carpet-baS rue In Hawaii would mean dishonor.
