How man who pays taxes can vote
the republican ticket under present
cOnditlOns,is beyond our understanding.
We can easily see how a man who does
not pay a cent Of taxes and never ex-
poets to, has no interest in the county
or state and has no ldeals-it is easy to
understand, we say, how he can whoop
it up for the machine, but when tax
payer and intelligent citizen falls in
with the riff raft elements and helps to
perpetuate such business, it looks like
insanity. Ae would not think of con-
Quoting his private business that way.
Yet what more is politics than private
business? Why not look at political
matters in business way?

MUCH ado is being made by the 'or
gan" about F. Nj. Shells filing bill
before the commissioners for salary
after he had been ousted by republi-
can board of commissioners. Mr.
Shell did not file bill. II the Cresset
will prove that he did we will surren-
der the Office of county printer to Mr.,
Lorton and we know that Will make
his heart glad. What Shell did do in
this matter was to give them state
ment, AT THEIR REQUEST, showing
what quarters legal salary was, and
when 1t was compared with Lakes bill
itshowed that Mr.. Lake WAS something
over $50 too high, which compelled Mr..
Lake to withdraw his hill and submit
one in accordance with law. All that
Mr.. Shell and others asked was for the
board to withhold payment until it was
determined who was the legal superin-
tendent. Now bark!

MIKE GRAY doesn't brag very much
but he is making quiet, gentlemanly
campaign and Is making friends where
ever he goes. Outside of the republican
organ which has established a reputa-
tion as prevaricator. it has never even
been limited that he would not be fully
qualified to discharge the duties of the
Office of county clerk. He is an obIiging
clerk in The store of which he is one of
the proprietors and he will be just as
courteous and pleasant in the county
alerk's Office.

State PrinterMorgan's faith,

The Cresset tells its readers that the
Index has been silent recently on the
county printer law. Where has the
Cresset editor been during the past year?
He usually notices things in the Index
but for some reason our references to the
printer law have escaped him. Our files
are living evidence of the fact that we
have been calling on the republican
candidates these many weeks to define
their positions but they have so far re-
fused to do so. We denounced that law
when it was first enacted and we still
denounce it. The independent candi-
dates stand for Its repeal. The re-
publican candidates stand for its re-
tention If their organ IS authority. The
figures given by the Cresset to prove
that 1t is law in the interest of the
people, are like other things coming
from that sheet-false. unreliable and
garbled. In other words, the article is
another Fitch story. For the first six
months under the new law the cost was
over 1400. against approximately half
that sum a year ago. Then the tax
lists were much larger year year ago
than they are now. In addition to
this the new law IS not lived up to-
The county officers refuse to furnish all
OF the report called for under the law.
They are afraid to give 1t q fair test.
Let the law be repealed. but if you
want TO insure its repeal, elect the In
dependent ticket.

VIII. CRADDOCK' pledge to the peo-
pie of Kansas on taxation is worth
more to the taxpayers, outside of the
corporations, than everything the re-
publicans have done for the state in
a decade. The formation of his ideas
into law would mean the reduction of
taxes to the average farmer and mer-
chant and property owner, one half,
while corporations would have to pay
according to their capitalization just
as they have been made to do i'll
Kansas City since Craddock has been
mayor. The average voter would ac
cept this as clear matter of business
but for his prejudices, but as people are
at present constituted many Of them
are willing to pay exorbitant taxes in
order to see their party win.

The man who says that f.

sheriff than W. III. Haun eth
er does not know the two
men or else he is SO blindly
partisan that he cannot see
virtue in any candidate ex-
cept those of bis own politi-
cal faith. Other things be-
ing equal, Mr.. Hann has the
advantage of Mr.. Lane be-
cause he is a younger man

In view of the outrageous ballot law
enacted by the last legislature, we do
not see how any Populist, Democrat,
Prohibitionist, Socialist, or fair mind
cd republican, can vote the republican
ticket or any portion of it this year.
Correctly analyzed. 1t is a scheme to
aisfranchise minority parties, and com
pei republicans to vote the straight re-
publican ticket, thus perpetuating ring
rule AID bossism.

We are not the only community which
has to complain of the laxity Of the
Board Of Health in the matter of birth
registration, The San Francisco Board
of Health is shown by the Chronicle to
be equally as lax as the Hawaiian
Board, and the causes seem to be of a
similar character The Chronicle made
the discovery the other day that the
number Of deaths in San Francisco, ac-
cording to the Board of Health statis-
tics, was very much in excess of the
number Of births and this has caused
comment in the city of the Golden
Gate - 81
We have had long, discussion upon
the question Of birth statistics here and
an effort was made sometime ago to
enforce the law, but it has died down,
and our repnrt Of births in the city of
Honolulu, continues to be considerably
smaller than the deaths. The explana-
tion of the discrepancy in San Fran
cisco, according to the Chronicle is that
$50 many people are associated with
the disposition of the dead, that con-
cealment'i is well nigh impossible" In
Honolulu a. body cannot be buried un-
til permit Is obtained from the Board
of Health, ana in this way the informa-
ton is carried to the Board of Health
office, it Would never be acquired by
original research on the part of the Off
Gals. .,,HS f. 49,. '".
With regard to births there is a law
and penalty about registering births
This provides that Physicians and
midwives must on or before the fourth
day of each, month make return TO the
Health officer of all births occurring
in their practice during the preceding
month" But however clear the law
may be, unless it is followed up, it falls
into a dead letter The fault in San
Francisco is placed by the Chronicle at
the door of the Health officer and the
Board of Health. ...
The fault in Honolulu lies at the door
of the officials and members of the
Board of Health. Our law is also clear
and our law carrier penalty. Every
physician is enjoined by law to report
plrlhS' at Whlch ne mas ATTENDED, ana IS
allowed thirty days as a limit 1t he
fails to do so he has violated the law
and is liable upon conviction to fine
of fifty dollars. Parents also are legal
-ly bound to make report and are UNI
der a like penalty. How many physi-
clans carry out this section? How
many parents? 1t is notorious that the
reports are made, If made AT. all, very
loosely, and without regard to the limit
of time. If such is the case, why does
not the Board prosecute. 1t can very
easily be guessed why it does not. VOL
YES do not eat wolves. 1t may be some
alienation to know that others are as
badly off as ourselves, but it is not a
very great alienation.

once more available. Jared Smith, who
is in charge complains that very little
personal interest is manifested in his
work, and this lack of interest has dis
appointed him. One explanation of this
is probably that many of the expert
ments which Mr.. Smith is trying have
been tried before. Another is that in
formation which he is now collecting
has in many cases been already collect
ed, But because experiments have
been tried before is no reason to pre-
mise that there is no use trying them
again, while as to information already
collected 1t may not be available for the
experiment station. Mr.. Smiths work
will increase in value as he comes to
know the Territory better, and the sue
cess of his experiments becomes as

creation of a more comprehensive sys-
tenn of railroads than the island has
hitherto enjoyed. 1t is now about two
years since plan was formed for con-
Meeting the railroad lines in Havana
with Santiago de Cuba, the second city
of Cuba, and funds were provided for
this purpose by a syndicate, the prin-
cipal share in the work being assumed
by Sir William c. Van Horne, chairman
Of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
The project was not undertaken with
out serious obstacles being encountered,
but it was prosecuted with energy and
success, the announcement having been
made recently that the entire line is
now completed. 1t should be noted,
says Bradstreet, that not only will the
new road serve to develop the latent
agricultural and mineral resources of a
hitherto largely undeveloped part of the
island, but the plans of the syndicate,
which built and equipped the road, in
clude active steps for the colonization
and improvement in the territory tri-
butary to the new system.
Another legacy of American occupa-
ton is about 5000 miles of telegraph
lines established by the United States
Signal Corps which have been transfer
red to the new government. This Eys-
tenn is said to have brought no less
than 100000 into the Cuban treasury
within the past year, besides transmit
ting official messages, which at the
same rate would have cost more than
100000.
The sanitary clauses of the Piatt
amendment which are part of the
Cuban constitution have yet to be car
ried out, and the Cuban Government
necessary, extend the plans already
devised, or other plans that may be
agreed upon, for the sanitation of the
island, to the end that a recurrence of
epidemic and infectious diseases may
be prevented. The plans already de-
vised include projects for the paving
and sewering of the city of Havana,
for the sewering of the city of Santi-
ago de Cuba, and for water works to
supply that city, the rules and regu-
lations established by the President of
the United States in January 1899, for
the maintenance of quarantine against
epidemic diseases at the ports of Ha
vana, Matanzas, Cienfugos and San
tiago de Cuba, and thereafter at the

THE PHILIPPINES.

The Philippine bill has passed the
Senate, and now comes the question
how will it be treated in the House
AS was pointed out in these columns
yesterday the discussion upon the Phi
lppine bill was not inspired by hosti
lily to the Philippines or hostility to the
army, but was simply a stalking horse
used by the minority to attack. the adj
ministration and the Republican party.
1t is evident that something must be
done for the Philippines. They cannot
be left hanging in. the air as it were,
and the chances are that the bill as
passed by the 'Senate|wiu go through
the House With little Or no amendment.
If such should prove to be the case
the Filipinos will not have trial by Jury
thrust upon them, which win probably
enable them to. live much more happily
than if they had that palladium of free
dom manipulated as it sometimes is by
political 5udges. Moreover the Philip
pine commission pointed out long ago
that the Filipinos were utterly unfit to
act as jurors, and the advice of the
commission has been taken. AS to the
bearing arms there could be no prece-
dent better to follow than that of the
British with regard to the Beers. Fill
pinos in the cities do not require arms. |
Those in thRlRuIying farms fand viii !
lagos may require them for the purpose
Of shooting game, or ki1lfng on various
animals, but such weapons should be
registered. The bearing of, arms al
ways leads TO Yhe use Of them in mo-
ments of passion, such people are far
better off withSut them. The wearing

The land question is met by forbid
ding corporations to- engage in aglieul-

The political field will be minus one
remarkable figure, Oscar Lewis. Mr..
Lewis was out of his element in Ha-
waiian politics, and, it is said, has re-
turned to the more congenial field of
the San Francisco water front and the
tenderloin From thence he can draw
the festive repeater and can arrange
for unpleasant partizans of the other
side to disappear till after the election.
Whether true or not there is a story
current here that the redoubted Oscar
offered to ship off a prominent politi-
clan round the Horn for a considera-
ton" Oscar was not suited to a trop-
ical climate. Moreover he has no aloha
for Judge Estee and the Judge is a fix
ture here.

The distilling case in which Vierra
and his wife were arrested by the Ter
ritOrial authorities has been turned
over to the Federal authorities. 1t is
a pleasing and satisfactory thing for
the local police to be complimented by
the Federal officials for the manner in
which they had made the capture and
the excellent shape that the evidence
had been prepared and presented. The
police of any place are more apt to be
abused than compllmented, and the
Deputy Sheriff ought to feel pleased
Praise from Federal officials who have
to handle such cases, is praise indeed
They know the difficulties which have
to be overcome and can praise inteIli-
gently. e.e

Buencamino, the Filipino, who passed
through here some steamers ago, has
been before the Philippine Committee
and declared for annexa ton. There
undoubtedly is a strong annexation
feeling among the well-to-do Filipinos,
who dread the anarchy which would
follow the withdrawal of the Ameri-
cans and the establishment of an indie
pendent republic. Among the Cubans
there is also an annexation party, and
it is watching how the experiment of
Independent government will come out.
But the Cubans are a very different
people from the Filipinos

be wondered at No one will welcome
a perfect and quick service more than

downs again or the faith which has
been aroused will fail again.

Book Reception . Grand Success


One of the most enjoyable func-
lions Of the season was the library
book reception last night at the
home of Mr., and Mrs. Strickland.
Some 70 or 100 people were present
and if one can tell from observation
! Tor expression they most certainly
enjoyed the occasion. 1t was a gem
eral mixture Of ages from the little
! tot of four or five summers to the
grandparents, and one and all
seemed to spend an evening OF gem
uine pleasure. Some part of the
program was suited to each age and
some suited all ages, for it would be
difficult to tell whether the infant or
the grand parent most enjoyed Miss
| Chapman's little kindergarten cake
walk, which was given on the lawn
| that all might be able to see and
pretty sight it was, indeed. The
speeches on public libraries made
by Messrs. Beall, Groce and Skin
ner and the paper by Mrs. tulker-
son were not only instructive and
elevating but extremely entertain
ing. as was demonstrated by the
profound interest shown by the en-
tire audience. During the time the
little folks bad a picnic on the
lawn. Judge Dunlap and X V.
Wright. who were on the program,
We re unexpectedly called away.
Music was furnished by the Wise
Orchestra, which is an entertain
ment complete within itself. The
class of music given by this orches-
ira and the manner in which 1t is
rendered would be pride to any
city. Scores Of people sat and
"simply drank it in" as they ex-
pressed it. Miss Bama Bishop and
Nina Blake favored the guests with
several choice solos, which were
highly appreciated.
We could give no better index to
the class of people present than to
give the titles and authors of the
large table full of splendid books
which were received, but for want
Of space it is impossible to do SO.
Suffice it to say that magnificent
collection of books was received,
which makes a valuable addition to
the library. Among the number was
Levers complete works, also sew
eral other volumes, by Mrs. X. l.
Monica. Sandwiches and ice drinks
were served on the lawn.
