enough for the Hawaiians, and ever
since Delegate Wilcox has been trying
to explain. 1t was a fatal blow to
the delegate, whose extraordinary
power over the members Of his race
won him an election to congress two
years ago under the most difficult
circums stances. But the plea Of the
lepers at Molokai and Of their rela-
tives all over the islands, and Of all
Hawaiians generally, with whom even
the present mild system Of isolation
is a matter for resentment, was too
strong. The picture OF a settlement
with the sexes separated, the inmates
held in rigid quarantine and subject
to the experimentation of federal
physicians In treatment, etc., was one
which the Republican campaign COM
mittee made the most Of, and it was
undoubtedly more than anything else
responsible for the defeat Of the dele
gate.
CAMPAIGN FOR LEPERs VOTES.
There are nearly three hundred
voters in the leper settlement, and
they we're warmly campaigned for by
both sides. Wilcox and Prince Cupid
each made visits to the settlement
and addressed the lepers from q plat.
form in stockade, beyond which WIS.,
itors may not 60. II is an unusual
thing for the right to vote to be
granted to men confined for life in a
sort Of great hospital. under quaran
tine, but the lepers who are strong
enough vote. They take great inter-
est in politics.
The other issues in the campaign
we're simply the old race issues on
which the Republicans fought last
time and lost, and on which they
would probably have lost again but
for the leper issue and the nomina-
ton Of the young prince. These are
the native hatred Of Governor Dole
and bis supporters, and the race pref
udice which Wilcox knows so we'll how
to fan into flame.
The result OF the election Is ex.
pected to be disappearance Of the
issues Of race and royalism from the
politics OF Hawaii, and an alignment
Of the voters on the normal American
lines In future. The native Home
Rule party probably will 60 out Of

WASHINGTON, April L. Civil
Service reformers have discovered
what they believe to be a clear evas-
ion of the law in the fact that Miss
Isabelle Hagner is carried on the
rolls of the War Department as q
clerk at $40 per annum. She Is de-
tailed away from her desk to serve
as the social private secAetary OF
Mrs Roosevelt and Mrs. Root.
Ihe reformers to whose attention
this case has been called say that -
might be proper and legal. althouA
they douDt seriously, to detail Miss
nagner as the secretary to Mrs RCose-
welt. but they ask what warrant Of
law exists to supply her services In q
similar capacity to the wife OF the
Secretary OF war.
This has been delicate point for the
other ladies of the Cabine. for some
time. These ladies compensate their
personal secretaries from their private
income, and there Is disposition 10
question why Mrs. Root does not do
likewise.
The ladies wno nave recently joined
the Cabinet set have been asking en-
barrassing questions as to whelher
clerks from the departments pre-
sided over by their husbands. could
not attend to their correspondents
and other social matters.
1t is reliaoiy stated that the Sec
retary OF War will soon be approach
ed on this subject by several legislAt-
ors who desire to fulfill the letter cf
the law along civil service reform
The art OF successfully fulfilling the
r,,.s Of private secretary is one tnaI
anneals to many genflewomaf, and
MANY have incurred considerable ex-
nense fitting themselves for this work.

Miss Hagner mis- two such import
