to conceive the so-caIled "home-ruIe" marty

though 1t may result in the return of an
other native delegate through a fusion of

party of the islands. This outcome is ear

spect OF the people, whatever their parti-

be desired that Hawaii be represented in
Congress by man who stands for the ex-
listing order. and not one who represents
the fallen monarchy and IS backed by
misled combination of ignorant natives and
corrupt white men. 1t Is to the interest of
the government of the whole country too
that this be the case. for in sense the
federal government Itself is on trial in the
island territories and every factor which
serves to decrease its prestige on the
ground as well as at Washington makes
for retrogression and difficulty. Hawaii is

Dole's Rule Right.


From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Confusion in the politics of Hawaii still
continues, the only stable element appar-
emily being Gov. Dole and his associates.
Every recent dispatch from those islands
seems to point to the fact that the political
distinctions and names that have gained
currency there are nothing better than
little faction badges Republicans, demo-
Gratis and home rulers are alike split I'D
into cliques. and it would be sheer folly to
hand over executive direction to the repre-
sentatives of any one Of them. This, no
doubt, has been made clear to the President
by special means of information, and his
Endorsement of Gov. Dole Is a timely en-
phasis of firm government that Hawaii
needs very badly

race. But the whole gambling game. what
ever Its particular form. is tainted with dis
honesty
1t was only the other day that J. Pier
pont Morgan. who is regarded by some as
the worlds greatest living gambler, de-
nounced poker as an un-American sport
because it was founded upon deceit. 1t is
difficult to accept Mr.. Morgans definition
of the "bluff'' in poker as deceit. The man
who owns tries to get the highest possible
price when he sells. Mr.. Morgan presum-
ably never bought railroad in his life
without trying to get it at a lower price
than that quoted on the market, or sold
one without seeking higher price than the
purchaser was willing to pay. The holder
of poker hand who seeks to bluff merely
tries to persuade his opponent that his
hand is better than it really is.
Just so in boxing between professionals
although the morals of taking and those
of bluffing differentiate somewhat-the pu-
gilist tries to make the public think he is
better than the man he is to face If he
persuade a considerable number of peo-
pie to back their judgment to this effect
with cash he creates a market. OF course.
it is wrong when he sends his commissioner
privately into the market with cash to
thus against himself and the wrong be-
tween him and his victims becomes a vio-
lation of public morals when he then de-
liberateiy loses the fight In order to win the
bets. The bettors. 1t Is urged. have not
had fair chance to win. They are as men
sitting in A game with loaded dice. But
they lost their right of appeal when they
went into the game in the first place,
whether the dice were loaded or not
The man who bets on a prize fight takes
his chances along with his opponent the
moment he bets on a thing that can talk
He is exposing himself to the trickery
which seems Intimately assoc ated with
professional sport of all kinds. Finally,
there is no reason to sympathize with
Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco. who de-
clares that If this fight was a fake there
shall never be any more prize-ring encount-
ers in that city. Does a private little
rangement between the bru.sers affect the
morality or the permisSibiity of the spec
tacle of two men pounding each other for
profit?

Fake or FairP

II Is rather difficult to understand why
the public at large should become seriously
agitated over the question of the honesty
of the fist fight at San Francisco between
two noted bruisers. Fake or not, the fight
accomplished just what 1t was organized
for. the entertainment of a certain number
OF thousands at large price apiece and
the provision OF an excuse for the Offering
OF bets. Neither object was. in the last
analysis. seriously interfered with IL the
fight were crooked" The people who at
tended saw the men smash each other
yiciously for a few rounds and then saw one
of them sent to the floor In regulation style
The spectacle lasted long enough to proye
attractive TO those who like to gee blood
flow from human countenance. 1t de-el-
oped some clever boxing. and it awakened
the latent partisanship OF the on.ookers
What more could they want?
AS for the bettors, they are confronted
with crooked games continually. They
place their money on horse races which
they know are not ION the square" They
play games which they are certain are dis
honest, feeling that the outsiders have an
even chance with one another as long as
they know nothing Of the details Of the
process A wise man once warned his son
never to bet on anything that could talk
His pessimism Is in large degree justified
by the melancholy history of what is called
sport" Certain games and branches of
athletics have shaken loose the sha ckles of
crooked Professionalism. Base ball is per-
haps cleaner today as a sport than ever
before and is not now promiscuously ac-
cused Of being a hippodrome. There are
some race tracks, too, where The jockeys

1t Is with pleasure that we call the
attention Of the trade, and private fam
lilies, to the fact that owing to the in
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter Of undOubted purity and of the
finest quality, We are now bOttling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use Of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re-
suited In an inquiry for an article of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of a harmful or deleteri-
Gus nature, and ut price that would
commend Its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at high price.
Therefore We are prepared to place.
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled In quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, at a much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops In the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods OF
all the leading fancy grocers, the prin-
cipal hotels, restaurants and druggists.
