THERE ARE 5000 LEPERS WHO

Their descendants, who live along the
bayous and small streams in the in
terror, are among the lowest OF the
poor whites of the South. Whether
their ancestors were afflicted with the
disease prior TO their forced immigra-
ton or not has never been determined.
The hand to-mouth existence of the
majority of this people, the character
OF their food and the inbreeding of
families have at least furnished a good
groundwork for the progress of hered-
itary disease.
Leprosy. as il is seen in this State.

cases. not the majority. Elephantiasis
is the most common form of the dis

various parts of the body, which hard

growing stiffness of the joints and d
loss of sensation in the extremities.
In conversation with a volunteer sur
geOn OF the late Spanish war, VINO mas
had opportunity to study the question
in all our new possessions, he said:
''Leprosy is prevalent in every one
of our colonies. Hawaii is notorious for
it There is a little community of lep-
ers in Porto Rico. just outside of San
Juan. There are lepers in the Philip
pines, in Guam, and 1 believe in Tut
ula. our new Samoan possession. The
number of lepers is increasing in the
United States. and I think the best
thing Congress can do is to establish a
national leper colony.
The disease should be studied. 1t
was the great curse of the ancient Bib
lical world. BY fsolatinE every case
greater opportunity is given for its
study. Our ignorance on the subject Of
leprosy is very nearly a disgrace to the
medical profession
Thus far no cure for the disease has
been discovered. The poison Of the SER

TO be specific. but this is a question

A JUDICIAL DEADFALL-

A great enterprise is in danger OF
being wrecked through the obstinate
pride Of opinion OF Judge Humphreys
In order 70 save the KOna Sugar Com
pany from ruin and It's stockholders
from total loss. IT is necessary that
somebody shall advance about two
hundred thousand dollars. This Mr.
s. NJ. Damon had agreed 10 do on con-
ditiOn that ne should be appointed re-
ceiyer-that Is to say. that he should
have control OF the application and
disbursement of mis- own money. The
condition was reasonable and the OPP
portunity to obtain the services OF
man OF Mr.. DamOn's integrity. ability
and responsibility was eagerly en-
braced and agreed TO by bondholders.
stockholders and creditors The appii-
cation being made to Judge Humph-
reys that person at once observed that
IL was within his judicial knowledge
that Mr.. Damon was too busy to prop
erly attend to the duties Of a receiver.
and besides. Mr.. Damon was credi-
tor. and against the protest of all
parties in interest. he proceeded to APP
point brother-in-law MagoOn's side
partner as receiver. with brother-in-
law Magoon as attorney for the receiv-
AR. Damon thereupon naturally de-
clined to provide funds for Judge
Humphreys appOintee to handle. An
application was then made by Mr..
wundenberg to each bank, capitalist
and firm of sugar factors in Honolulu,
and each in turn politely declined.
Some gave one reason and some gave
another, but the real reason in each
case was that no business man felt
safe to have his money in the control
of Judge Humphreys. The objection
was not TO the honesty or capacity of
Mr.. Wundenberg. but If Judge Humph-
reys could refuse to appoint Damon
this week and appoint Wundenbers.
he might next week dismiss Wunden-
berg to appoint Emil Ney or Tar
antula Jake-late OF Arizona. Judges
on the Mainland of higher character
and position than Judge Humphreys
have never refused to listen to the
suggestions of parties interested in the
proper administration of financial
trust with respect 10 the personality OF
"A receiver.
There is. we fear, no hope for the
Kona Company under the circum-
stances. There is plenty OF capital
here to- handle the enterprise. but those

hands. As for the technicality that
Mr.. Damon was a creditor. that was
waived by consent of all parties inter
ested. Possibly relief might be had by
all parties dismissing the pending suit,
and instituting 1t all over again before
one OF the Circuit Courts on the Island
of Hawaii. where the property is stu

Blaine was right in saying that there

PROTECTION
FOR COFFEE

Editor Advertiser: There is no mis-
| taking the passage of President Roose-
velt's message. in reference to Hawaii
and il a commonwealth of agricultural
| interests is to be built up in these ISL
ands, composed in the main of many
independent tillers OF the soil. II must
OF necessity come from such an indus
try which will permit of this realiza-
ton.
The President is undoubtedly a man
Of strong determination as shown by
many of the acts in the career of his
life. and If he can be convinced that
a protective tariff on coffee, is the key
To the contamination OF his wish. then
the enactment OF such legislation
would surely find his support.
To stS5e that it could never take the
place 6f~our present main staple. is
talking without fairness. and a ques-
ton which the future can only solve.
We have an abundance of available
land that could be utilized, where SUI
gar would not be profitable. gar
has had protection since the year 1877
a period now of twenty-five years. and
we wish II To be forever one of the
mainstaSs of Hawaii nei, but if coffee
could only be given as fair and equal
chance. great development in this
line OF agriculture would follow. With
it's development other lines of products
would be grown, that in years hence
Will be a wholesome blessing to Ha-
wall.
There is no more opportune time than
the present. to push forward energei-
cally and with persistence this claim,
and If recognition of our demand can
be obtained from the present admins
tration at Washington, winning fight
would lead us to the goal of future
prosperity.
AS President Roosevelt has the future
upbuilding of our Territory at heart,
such a just and earnest claim for re-
cognition will not fall on deaf ears.
In Brazil Indian labor, employed in
the coffee fields, does not receive more
than six dollars a month, and this in
a debased silver currency, eQualing
half that value in gold.
An Americn commonwealth of agri-
culture cannot possibly compete sue
cessfully against such odds, and pro-
lection must be forthcoming.
Therefore, let us not falter in this
appeal, and work persistently for pro-
tective tariff on coffee.

GLIMPSES OF THE PAST.

A recent discussion OF past political
history in these columns has drawn
out the following interesting letter:
Editor Advertiser:-In your issue of the
18th uIt in an editorial entitled. Looking
Backward you state n matter OF United
States history in a manner that is UNI
just to n man whose whole life was
above reproach. except by biased critics
OF Jealous colleagues. You say:
when the New York Tribune got hold
OF the cipher kilograms which passed
between Col Pelton and the Democratic
State Central Committee of Oregon. Lou
isiana and Florida in 1876, when the cap
turc OF one electoral vote from either
would make Mr.. Tilden President. IL was
fairly proved that a large sum of money
was offered in Mr.. Tilden's name for
such a vote. The whole set OF kilograms
revealed the dearest possible case OF
attempted bribery and fraud. Nor was
the accuracy of these kilograms ever dis
puted." - - -e
Now. IS II fair 10 stop here? Does not
the above charge Mr. Tilden with per-
sonally attempting bribery?
