A LA
HOME RULE
MRS. WILCOX GIVES HER IDEA
ON EDUCATION AND
OTHER THINGS.
THE WICKED PEOPLE OF THE
TERRITORY"
Wilcox Has Made no Proposals to the
Something About The
Desire for Office.

The Home Rule, Mrs Teresa Wilcox's
rejuvenated papear, in its second issue
under the heading "A Program of
Ruin" says:
The p. G. A. complains that the Home
Rulers want county and municipal gov
eminent. But it does nOt-and cannot
show any reason why our wish should
not prevail.
The Home Rulers want office, is an
other complaint the =. G. A. has
against us. If we did not want office
we would not be a political party
Wanting office is simply wanting the
means of carrying out the wishes Of
the people.
If Delegate Wilcox said in his speech
es to divide the lands for the people at
so much an acre. what is the harm of
that when given to the poor people
whose houses and furniture and valua-
bles have been burnt by the wicked
people of the Territory of Hawaii, who
rejoice tC see the Hawaiians poor. The
Hawaiians are entitled to lands just
like the people of Oklahoma, New Mex
leo, Arizona or any of the Territories
where they do as our Delegate wants
done for us.
The salaries in the Police Department
should be increased. In no city in the
United States, of the size of Honolulu
are the police expected to live on the
salaries paid our officers. Do you OBJ
ject to fair play for them, Mr.. p. c. A?
Yes; we want new laws for the Board
of Health and Board of Education. We
want the lepers to be well taken care
of and good doctors to attend to them
and have good hospitals to live in and
good food. and also good nurses. We
want to see them cured. About the
| Board of Education, we want them to
be taught properly and not only be
taught, if he is a boy, to raise his hat
to the people ana then say, l am all
right, l am well educated because 1
know how to take my hat off to the
people; and if it be a girl, she mods her
head and says, Now 1 am well educat-
/ ed because 1 nodded to the people. We
want every Hawaiian child to know
! their own language and not to forget
! it; we want every child to be educat-
ed and be well Versed in everything
| Talk about the schools would go into
politics it IS already in politics. l pre-
sumo they are not aware of it. Don
bite your own tongue 1t is too bad
about the Territory going to ruin on
! account of jhe Home Rulers getting in
to power. How absurd! How jealousl
If they get in, it's o. X. Bah! BAH!
Bah!!!
They talk of the Home Rulers want
ing to be eXtravaSant. Yes; was it the
Home Rulers who burnt the town down
for nothing, to create debt for the Ter
ritory on an uncdlled-for action played
by the mean, contemplate Great Lam
of this Territory, who love the Hawaii
ans so much as to show their aloha
nui they burnt all their houses and
furniture and many valuables, too nu-
merOus to mention, on account OF theii
true love for the Hawaiians, to save
their lives.
We know of one house between KinG
and Beretauia streets that was MOI
burnt down, and the other houses, sur.
rounding this house where a plague
case was found, were not burnt down
Now is this a fair thing to do? If i
had beer poor Hawaiian's house, i
would have been burnt down anC
neighbors homes and all. Now W,
want justice, and that's all. The Ha
Waiians are very forgIving and yer,
peaceful. SO ! presume these crank!
take such liberties of their good acton,
towards them.
Wilcox is not bothering' himself will
Democrats or Republicans of Honolulu
IWhere are they? How many are there
The Delegate has made no proposal!
toward the candidates of the Demo
Gratis, as stated. Delegate Wilcox ha.
his own secretary ID. KalauOkalani Jr.
and does not need the Advertiser t,
hunt one up for him. He never ha,
any idea of changing his secretary.
