AN INDEPENDENT PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

tory of government expenses and ap-
preparations during the last few years
seems to prove the truth of this extra
ordinary charge. Oregon has been
steadfastly Republican. the strongest
Republican state in the Union" says
the Oregonian, according to popula-
tion, and has been almost entirely ig-
nored by Hanna and the small CO.
terie of Republican senators" who
have controlled Congress and dished
out government patronage. California
elected a Democratic governor in 1894,
and has been considered a doubtful
state ever since About $50,0OO,OOO
Of government money has been spent
in that state for army supplies, trans
portation and in various other ways,
while Oregon, "the strongest Repub-
lican state in the union" got nothing
but the cold shoulder, which the files
of the Oregonian will abundantly sub
stantiate. Washington elected a Dem
ocratic legislature and a Democratic
U. S. senator, and at the last election
Democratic governor. While gov
ernment money for army supplies
and transportation has been poured
into Seattle and Tacoma by millions,
Oregon, the sure Republican state, has
been almost entirely ignored and has
received little or nothing, as the Ore
gonian has so often stated. Then the
only way to get any attention or fav
ors from people who will pour money
into a rat hole, If need be, to elect
! a Republican governor and Legislature
in doubtful or Democratic state
but will not give anything to help the
strongest Reublican state in thu
union" is to wipe out the Republican
majority on the state and Legislative
tickets. This will wake up the ship
subsidy bosses and national grafters
all the way from Bangor to the Colder
Gate and where rolls the Oregon,
and during the next four years mil
lions of dollors will be poured int
Oregon to elect a Republican COVER
nor and legislature" If it is a ques
ton of dollars and cents" then Il
might be as well to look this thin
squarely in the face!'

My Dear Friend:

My Dear Friend:
You must bear in mind that this
medicine is not a poisonous tonic, nor
a stimulant, nor a temporary relief,
which you get from poisonous drugs,
where the results are sure death soon
er or later. Those polsons go in your
bones and destroy the life OF them
and create all kinds Of diseases, cam
cerous tumors, consumption, dropsy,
bone diseases, etc. Do not blame the
medicine when it takes an effect and
stirs up the poisons or disease In the
system. You must not expect to be
cured in few days, for your sickness
or disease has ieen long time COM
ing on, and 1t will take a long time
to get it out of your system. 1t Will
take months or a year TO build up q
new body from the bones up. This Is

nails. II we mean by the criminal
class" those only who have been con-
yicted of crime in a court, that may
do. but do not think 1t is generally
40 understood. Men may be classified
as 70 their trades and callings, but
hardly as to their integrity or moral
standing. The difficulty In making
such a classification lies In the con-
sideration that taking men as we hnd
them. there is probaly not one who Is
wholly good, nor is there one who Is
wholly bad. Some, IT Is true, have
more good In them than others, and
some have more that Is vicious and
hurtful in them than others, but
speaking generally, human nature Is
off the same piece everywhere. All
are more or less good and all more or
less bad. IL Is simply a question OF
degree. and Jesus showed his great
wisdom and penetration when he said
TO the accusing rabble: He that is
without sin let him cast the frst
stone" and the rabble. also, showed
that IL was not wholly vicious, for
each accuser felt condemned by his
own conscience (showing he had such
a thing as a conscience about him),
and got out OF sight as rapidly as he
could conveniently. Some day,
think, men will not talk about Grim
, inal classes" or the righteous" but
Z they will talk about righteousness
and on the other hand, about whatever
! is hurtful TO men, and the one will be
upheld while the other will be con
demned. When the quality of acts
are considered, and not personality
as the chief thing, we shall have
broader and better views of human
/ life and of the responsibilities tha
grow out of It.

GROVER CLEVELAND ON EDUcA
TON

For the first time in the United
States, the honorary degree of Doc.
tor of Jurisprudence was conferred at
the Augustinian College, at Phlladel.
phia. The recipient was former Pres.
ident Cleveland, who had already had
the degree of LII. d., conferred by
the Princeton University.
The exercises were held in the col
lege. Archbishop Ryan presiding.
Previous to comforting the diplomas.
Mr. Cleveland spoke briefly as fol-
lows:
This incident prominently suggests
to my mind the imperious edict of
education which forbids the hindrance
or disturbance of its high mission by
religious discrimination, social intol-
erance or any OF the barriers that to a
greater or less extent separate civil
iZed humanity. The. republic of edu-
cation is based upon identical aim,
equal rights in its opportunity and inn
partiality in the distribution Of its
rewards, and honors.
This, IL seems TO me- is impressive
ly illustrated when the severely Cath.
olic college of st. Thomas, OF villa.
nova, bestows les highest honorary
degree upon one connected with the
management and holding an honorary
degree in the severely Protestant
Princeton University
The processes OF education as they
exist In this country Of ours, have, or
always should have, in addition to
other characteristics especial har.
mony OF purpose and design, as they
are related TO our government. and
this should constitute between our
institutions Of learning a bond OF close
fraternity. Whatever other objects
and purposes may be involved in
educational efforts among us, one of
its constant and prominent aims
should be the cultivation and mainte.
nance OF high standard of American
citizenship.
1t will be a sad day for our nation
when the forces OF education and the
teachers Of moral living shall cease 10
strive In unity TO leaven the entire
mass OF our citizenship. or when their
influence in that direction shall be an.
vided and circumscribed by religions
and sectarian differences"

The authorities both OF oregon ana

have not shown speed, adroitness nor

Such men, however, have no right to

themselves TO posse.
There are criminals who work In
secret, who keep their identity hidden.
The primary difficulty in getting them
is TO learn who they are and where
they are. Tracy and Merrill are known
and their whereabouts has never been

seen repeatedly. There Is n rumor
that a brother of one OF them Is on

false rumor and yet one that might be

Spain in the Philippines


While the history of Spain's domin-
ion over the Philippines is one of mis-
rule and heartless official plunder, in
one respect the Spanish government
went a little further than any of our
imperialists propose, in the way of
recognition of the Filipinos. For
two brief periods-from 1910 to 1914,
and from 1920 TO 1S23-the Fillpinos
had representatives in the cortes or
parliament of Spain. And in 1910 the
cortes declared the natives and free
inhabitants of the Spanish provinces
in America and Asia equal in rights
and privileges to those of the PENN
sular." It is true Spain never lived
up to that principle, but its assertion
was at least a recognition of much
greater civil rights than congress has
ever accorded the Filipinos.
The country is treating them as
subjects, and not as entitled 10 the
constitutional rights of American citl-
zens. In fact, the right of trial by
jury is expressly withheld from them

The very fact of the Oregonian's
hysterical opposition TO the calling
OF an extra session of the legislature,
Is conclusive evidence that Governor
Geer should call Il In the interest of

SO low IN the estimation of the people
that they now believe just the oppo'
site from that the oregOnian adVo-
Gates. The Oregonian occupied n
position TO do much for the people,
but by It's many dishonorahle and

for the establishment of a credltable

WHY NOT HAVE
STEEL BRIDGES =?

Honolulu, H. l., Dec. 18TH 1902.
Editor Advertiser: I learn that the
matter will come before our next Leg
| islature to make appropriations neces-
sary for the reconstruction of several
of the government wagon road bridges
| throughout the Territory; in fact it is
a matter of personal observation that
such a move is in many cases absolute
| ly necessary. Permit me, through your
valuable columns, to suggest, that il
might not be a bad plan for the officers
or committee having such matters in
charge, to thoroughly inform them
selves regarding the use of steel
bridges.
When one examines the wooden
structures at present so generally in
use throughout the islands, and notes
their poor design and rapidly decaying
timbers, he cannot but ask, if this is
the result of poor judgment or a lack
of knowledge in constructive work, or
both
In the States, except in places where
timber has almost no price compared
with steel, the wooden bridge has
virtually passed out of existence, and
even the composite bridge is giving
place to the aIl-steel structures.
In one of the counties of Idaho, to my
personal knowledge, where lumber sold
a FROM, civ 70 oiob+ 5ol1or. ,,ov +bo,,
sand and freight rates exceeded those
to Hawaii, the County Commissioners,
after careful investigation, decided to
replace all their wooden bridges as fast
as worn out, by steel structures. 1
have never heard the wisdom of the
plan questioned.
1 therefore trust that the officials who
may have this matter in charge will
investigate the situation thoroughly,
before commencing the construction of
new bridges.
There are several responsible bridge
construction firms in the States who
would be glad to give all needed in
formation, for the asking, and who are
qualified to furnish the highest class of
designs with their bids and estimates,
and all without additional cost to the
Territory.
I would also suggest in this connec-
ton that with the present price Of
labor, the stone arch bridge is in my
Judgment worthy of consideration in
some localities, and no class of con-
struction material carries with it a
smaller cost of maintenance.
Respectfully.

Here's a good one on A. Birmingham
Johnson.
AS the story goes, Mr.. Johnson,
while passing few idle moments with
friends in the rooms of a prominent
attorney the other day, remembered
that he wished to call a party up Oh
the phone. Stepping to the phone,
he gave the usual ring for central
no reply. He rang again and still no
reply. The attempt was repeated over
and over with the same results until
the irritation of Mr.. Johnson devel-
oped into rage, and consequently
forced the gentleman to say some
things which would not look well in
print.
One of the attentive listeners came
to the rescue and proposed the follow
ing scheme: Now, Mr.. Johnson, I've
a proposition up my sleeve by which
we may be able to catch this annoy
ing hombre, or at least satisfy our
selves as to the trouble. You remain
here and keep ringing-don't stop for
moment, but keep continual ring
up, and the rest of us will drive over
to the central Office and find out just
what is doing"
The gentlemen drove in haste to the
building, entered the Office unnoticed
by the masculine central, and the sight
which awaited them was a feast for
their eyes. There, in front of a table
loaded with switchboards, etc., bare
footed Filipino was seated with his
feet upon the table, apparently half
asleep. Further investigation showed
that while he might have been asleep,
he was next to his job, for whenever
a person would ring for central tag
would drop, indicating the number that
called and this hello" hombre would
very skillfully replace the tag upright
with the use Of his big toe. One tag
kept falling so often that the hombre
just left it down.
The delegation quickly took it's leave
and in the course of few moments
reached the Office of the attorney,
where, it is reported, Mr.. Johnson was
diligently saving wood. His coat and
hat were upon chair, his sleeves were
rolled up, a huge cigar which was
held in his teeth was sending forth
large volumes of smoke, and the bell
was still ringing.

NATIVE SWIMS
LONG DISTANCE
In Boiling Sea for Three Quarters
of an Hour OFF
Mol0kai.

.Three-quarters of an hour swimming
in a boiling surf after dark is the good
record that a native sailor of the gas
oline schooner Eclipse accomplished
during the time hat the tug. Fearless
was trying to land wireless telegraph
batteries near the lighthouse on Mo-
lokai on Tuesday evening. Messrs.
Watson and Wood took the native
along with them to make the trip to
Molokai.
When the Fearless was unable to
make her landing and a boat was sent
out with the batteries, the latter also
found it impossible to land. The ma
tive then picked up a battery, and
jumping into the surf, reached the
shore in safety with it. Then he
started for the tug again.
1t vas so dark that chose on the
Fearless were unable to see the native,
and whistles were blown TO let him
know the position of the tug. A half
hour passed, and the native not re-
turning, a boat was sem off tC fiEd
him. This the boat was unable to do,
but when three-quarters Of an hour
had passed the native was seen swir1-
ming alongside the steamer. He vas
quickly taken abord, and appeared to
be non the worse for his experience.
He had been near the steamer for some
but had been unable to see her lights,
owing to the high seas.
