Since the beginning OF history. gov.

AN
The Democratic party stands for
law and order. The failure to enforce
the law begets corruption. The laws
are made to be enforced, not to be
disregarded. II the law be bad. the
remedy is to repeal, not to ignore.
When some laws are not enforced, lack
or respect for all law is en~gendered.
There Is entirely too little respect for
tho majesty Of the law In America.
The reason is the laxity with which
laws are enforced. Too often officials
are so bound up by entangling promises
made to secure party nominations or
elections, that when they get in office
their hands are tied. The doctrine
that all are equal before the law
sounds well, but has a rather startling
effect when put into practice. The

attacks from those he Is trying to

SENT BACK LETTERS
FOR THE FLORENCE

a pathetic reminder that all hope
has gone of the ship Florence ever
reaching Honolulu took place yesterday
in the stevedoring Office of McCabe,
Hamilton & Kenny, when Secretary B.
Griggs Holt assorted the letters ad-
dressed to Captain Spicer and members
of the crew all but those coming from
the ships owners being sent to the
local postofice. Those from the own
ers were sent back directly. The Flor
ence was out from Tacoma yesterday
inst seventy-three days. The action
of returning the letters is taken by the
waterfronters as pretty conclusive evil
dence that the vessel has gone to her
last home at the bottom of the sea.
The Florence is owned by Califor-
MIA company of which w. E. Mighell
is the head. The vessel was towed
through the Straits of Juan de Fuca
on December 1 in the face of heavy
gale. On the day the Florence sailed
there were fourteen vessels bar-bound
in the Columbia river and every port
on the Sound from Townsend to Flat
terv contained two or more vessels
awaiting the end Of the storm in order
tn mt to sea. A month after the Flor
ence sailed the George Curtis started

were coal laden and in the matter OF
speed the Florence had the heels of
the Curtis. Captain Amesbury Of the
ship Carlton. which arrived on the
Sound about the latter part of Janu-
airy, is strongly of the opinion that the
Florence went to the bottom with all
hands. Captain Calhoun. OF the bark
entine Archer which arrived in San
Francisco February 1. is quoted as
saying:
"If Captain Spicer and his vessel were
down near Honolulu three weeks ago
there might be some hopes. For four
teen days after leaving the Islands 1
had nothing but light southerly winds,
and the Florence would require differ
ent weather from that in order TO
make port"
Captain Spicer who went out
in command of the vessel. had
been in command of her for
over year. He had the follow
ing crew under him: First mate. P.
Peterson; second mate, NJ Murray; car
penter, S. A. Davis; cook, Joseph Long;
cabin boy, o. Watamata; seamen, C.

Were College Classmates.

A. F. Judd met aboard the Hongkong
Maru, in Huntington Wilson, a college
classmate. They were both in the
Yale class of 81, although Mr.. Wilson
did not remain with it until grad
Mating day. Upon leaving college he
was given post as secretary for the
American legation in Japan. He is
now returning as First Secretary and
will have charge of the legation affairs
until June when the new minister will
arrive. Major o. E. Wood, U. S. a.
military attache of the American Iega-
ton at Toxic, is also a passenger on
the Jap liner. He was entertained
while in port by Major Mcclellan of
Camp Mckinley.

DESERTED SHIP
TO JOIN NAVY

| Captain Whiting, Commandant of the
| Naval Station; Lieut.. Rodman, COM
| mander of the U. S. Tug Iroquois, and
| Captain De Lano of the American
! barkentine John Palmer, are entangled
| IN a peculiar case which Judge Estee
| has been called upon to straighten out
in his court this morning. A sailor
for his stay aboard the vessel until
reaching Puget Sound, left the vessel
here and has become a member of I'm
Gle Sans navy aboard the Iroquois.
The man claims wages due him from
Captain De Lano for his time up TO en-
tering the port of Honolulu. Captain
De Lano refuses on the ground that the
ships articles do not require it, and he
wants the man back on his vessel.
Captain Whiting when seen by Captain
De Lano yesterday afternoon was
willing to please the merchant captain,
but the sailor is entangled in govern
mental red tape now that he has been
accepted as seaman and until Judge

not be cut.
Able seaman George Reese of the
Palmer on Tuesday walked over to the
Iroquois and enlisted without showing
any discharge and on his assertion that
he had Joined the barkentine under an
arrangement by which he was to have
his discharge at the first American
port touched by the vessel which was
Honolulu. Captain De Lano, whose
signed articles tell a different story, has
shown them to Captain Whiting, and
the latter agrees with him, that the
sailor signed for Puget Sound.
Why" said Captain Whiting, Com
mandant of the Naval Station, when
asked about the case, "of course we
viii give the man back if Captain De
Lano shows that he was shipped for
the cruise. He is a deserter, and we
are not shipping deserters. We are not
here to cripple commerce, but to help
it. We certainly do not intend to take
tie crews out of the ships in port"

Han Returns Unexpectedly.

Shortly after II o'clock last night the
steamer w. G. Hall returned from
Koloa. Kauai. The vessel had procured
a load of 5.7S4 bags of sugar at Koloa
and started for Honolulu at once. She
will unload today and start again for
Kauai sometime this afternoon. The
Hall viii return to Honolulu on Sunday
morning at her usual time thus making
two trips this week.
When the vessel left Kauai the
Wrestler was out in the channel in a
calm. She had left Eleele with a full
load of sugar for San Francisco. The
Makaweli was at Eleele unloading coal.

Party.

Il think that I put more work on the
subject of primary laws than upon any
other one thing that ever came before
me in all my public life,' said Hon. F.
S. Stratton, Collector of Customs of the
port of San Francisco, standing on the
deck of the Hongkong Maru yesterday
just before the Japanese liner pulled
into the stream. Mr. Stratton was a
member of the State Senate of Califor-
mia in the strenuous times when the
| Legislators were trying to reconcile the
new constitution of that state with good
government, and in the Senate became
know as the Father of the Primary
Law that bears his name. The STRAIT
ton primary law has stood the test of
several years and a number of appeals
to the courts, and has been found to
work very we'll in the interest of honest
elections.
II gave it almost life time of study"
Mr.. Stratton went on. "Of course in
primary elections, as in all others, |
votes count. You cannot get away !
from that as first principle. The idea |
is to get in the primaries, an honest |
expression of party sentiment. There

We find that this works well there. but

Lastly, where voting is general and

"Tampico OFF.

This brief message was received OF
Wednesday by Fred ]. Waldron, the
local commission broker, from Fly
Burnham & Co., of Seattle Mr.. Wal
dron is OF the opinion that the Globe
Navigation Company, operating the
Tampico and Meteor between Seattle
and Honolulu have decided to give up
the Honolulu end of the business and
confine themselves to coast work
Norman Watkins who is at present
representing the local agent of the
Globe Navigation Company, was asked
yesterday whether he had heard any
thing of the taking off of the Tampico
and replied that he had heard such &.
rumor but gave it no credence. In the
mail which arrived by the Hongkong
Maru he received the usual business
communications but none OF the let
tiers gave a sailing date for the steam
er. He had thus far received no in
timation that the line was to be dis
continued.
Mr.. Waldron is of the opinion that
the Tampico has not proved source
of gain to the Globe company and from
the very start losses of all kinds have
been recorded. On almost every trip
down here there was damaged cargo,
the trips had been slow and large guam
titles of coal had been consumed which
had eaten into the finances of the COM
pany. Claims against the company
for damaged cargoes have been piling
up rapidly and the company is not on
a big enough financial footing to stand
many more of the same kind.
Local importers have also had trouble |
in getting their orders here on time. |
There were vexatious delays in the |
shipment of the goods and in many |
instances the local people lost money |
by getting the shipments long after |
they were actually needed. One in /
stance is quoted of a large consignment |
from Kansas City of semi-perishable |
stuff which left there on July 5. 1t !
was forwarded to Honolulu via Seattle |
to come on a Globe Navigation COM
pany steamer. 1t finally arrived here
In the middle of October and then on
one of the American-Hawaiian steam
ers. This delay occasioned loss of
TWO other carloads of goods which or
Ter had to be cancelled. the loss ag-
yregating about $1,000.
