ington 1t was the first time that a
loan of such an amount had ever been
placed satisfactorily to the Hawaiian
Islands. Not only did it rebound to
the great credit Of the Acting Gov
ernor, but 1t would prove OF material
benefit to the financial interests Of the
Territory. e.. ,,
At the instance of the Acting Gov
ernor, the meeting most cheerfully rat
flied the acceptance of the bid of Fisk
& Robinson.
Acting Governor Carter again evinc-
ed his grasp of the entire business at
the moment the decision was reached.
He insisted upon the Importance of
cabling an immediate acceptance of the
bid of Fisk e Robinson. Otherwise
there would be a liability of manipu-
lating the knowledge of the situation,
when made public as it must be, by
New York financiers so as to make a
round $4,000 or more out of the Terri
tory. This might have been done
through a withdrawal OF the bids,
coupled with refusal to take the bonds,
and a holding up Of the Territory for
better terms.
What has been gained for the Terri
tory by the mastery handling Of the
loan from first to last may here pe

New York Governor Delivers an
Address of Welcome.

Niagara Falls, N. Y. Sept. 22.-The
Farmers National congress assembled
here today in twenty-third annual ses-
sion, being called to order by President
Flanders of Albany. Governor Odell' de-
livered an address of welcome.
Governor Odell after a few prepara-
tory words said:
THE recognition which has been given
by the national and state governments
to the farming interests of our country
might at first glance appear to be in the
direction of paternalism yet it is as i'm
portant in its effect as any legislation
which can be enacted for the benefit of
the people as a whole. 1t is as much the
duty of the government to aid in the
development of the soil of the country as
it is to protect it's artisans against I'M
just discrimination or unfair COMPETE
ton at home or abroad: to aid in pro-
noting the material welfare of its citi-
zens as il is to stamp out disease or
epidemic which may threaten the lives
of individuals. This encoura cement
which the government extends does not
lead to a dependent spirit, but rather
makes our citizenship more self-reliant
and more patriotic
Discussing the qualities that go to
make good citizens Governor Odell
summed up the subject as follows:
"A good citizen is d product of the
greatest value to the country. His Gull
ture and development are as necessary
as the cultivation of our fertile fields and
valleys. The vicious, uneducated man IS
the center around which revolves those
whose ideas are antagonistic to civil,
religious and individual rights. One OF
the first duties, therefore. of our country
is to fight ceaselessly and energetically
against all classes who defy law and
whose principles are a menace to socl-
ETY.. We do find such people all over
the country The farmer, the mechanic
and the professional man are responsible
for such conditions, when they exist, II
they have made no effort to place within
the reach of all these penury-str1ckan
people these dwarfed lntellectuahties
that which is the basis and foundation
of contentment that is decent homes,
fair remuneration of toll that will per-
nit of social and intellectual enjoy
ment."
Governor Oden entered a plea in be-
half of politicians and public officers
whose efforts are directed to the people $
good and protested against carplng crit
icism and the assumption that because
man is a politician he is necessarily
dishonest; in conclusion he said:
1T is your duty to use your influence
and vour power to better the conditions
and to win back to useful membership
insofar by the force of example, those
whose environment has not been such as
10 make of them good citizens. To use
the power which you possess in the nails
of legislation to correct abuses wnlcn
nav exist and to aid in the fight which
is being made by the philanthropic and
benevolent people against disease ana
crime among those to whom COOS
bright sunlight is almost unknown; to
aid those who do not enjoy the adVan-
taoes necessary to give to them that
conception of what liberty in our coun-
trv means. that understanding so es-
sential TO good citizenship.

IN HIS TROUSERS LINING.
Mcpherson Thief Carefully Secreted
$40 of Stolen Funds.

Mcpherson Sept. 22.-Charles Fansley,
who was arrested and jailed for steal
ing $197 from the cash drawer of the
Mcpherson Lumber company, has been
proven to be the right man. When Mr..
Gleason returned he made an examina-
ton of his boarders effects. On ex-
aiming his trunk supply of stolen
tools were found which were later iden-
titled by the owners.
Being so successful in going through
the trunk it was thought more might
be found by making an examination
of his clothes and the sheriff caused
him to strip and furnished him with
other clothing and made a careful ex-
animation of the same. He was re-
warded by finding $40 hidden in the
lining of his trousers. Fansley had rip
ped up the lining and carefully secreted
the money. This together with the
money that it is known he spent in
various places in town almost makes
the $197 taken from the Lumber COM
pany.
