HE FORGOT TO
SAY GOOD BYE

Keliipio. for six or seven years a clerk
for the Board of Health, departed quite
suddenly last Saturday without saying
goodbye to anyone. He left the Board
Of Health office about ten o'clock in
the morning telling Secretary Charlock
that he would be back in an hour But
he didn't come. He didn't return that
afternoon or the next day. Monday
Mr.. Charlock found a note upon his
desk from Keliipio saying that he had
had family troubles of late and wanted
TO leave them behind. So he had taken
a sailing vessel Saturday afternoon. AS
far as could be learned he hadn't taken
anything else. though IL was reported
that he leaves some very anxious credi-
tors behind.

was one stevedore firm employing 1OC
japanese. which he thought should be
investigated.
| w. w. Harris called attention to the
work on the MoiliiI road where he had
been told Japs were employed. John
Bowler disputed the statement, say
ing he had been out that way on the
day previous. and Japs were not work
ing on the government contract. W. E.
Rowen also said no Japs were employ
ed.
Mr. Harris said his information came
/ from a member of the House and that
4 IL true the law was being violated.
Finally w. w. Harris was appointed
as a committee of one to call upon
Supt Cooper in regard to the matter.
L. f. PinIham arose to state that he
had been given an opinion by the high
est legal authority in the Territory to
the effect that the labor law passed
by the legislature was constitutional.
UNIONS MAKE PROMISE.
Mr.. Taylor for the Federated Trades
said he would bring the matter of citi-
zen labor before the delegates at a
meeting TO be held Friday evening, and
would urge upon the individual unions
the adoption of a rule prohibiting pur-
chases in Asiatic stores, and assessing
a fine for violations. The principal
kick. Taylor said. would be upon the
restaurants, nearly all of which were
conducted by Chinese. He did not
think that the workmen wanted to go
to high-class eating houses in overalls
and soiled clothes.
+. Tappan Tannatt said he did not
favor the way the campaign was to be
started. He said that all the planta-
tions were conducting schools of citi-
zen competition by permitting Japa-
nese and Chinese to go to school. This
he thought should be prohibited.
Mr.. Taylor stated that a movement
was on foot to organize the stevedores
in order to drive out the natives. Last
year a union had been formed, but
this was for political purposes only.
Each member paid in two dollars but
heard nothing more of it. He thought
however that a union should be form
ed in order to drive out the japanese.
NATIVES UNRELIABLE.
l.. Z. Pinkham said that the Japa-
nese question was one largely of in
dividual selffishness. The shipping
firms were all desirous of employing |
natives, but when a ship comes in stew
edores are urgently required and ma
tives are not reliable. Sometimes they
are not feeling well. and then again
they worked three or four days and |
have some money left.
Mr.. Harris suggested that the Mer-
chants Association make a request
that only citizen labor be employed as |
stevedores. AS they shipped and re-
ceived nearly all of the freight he sug-
gested that a memorial to the ship
ping firms would be effective.
Mr.. Callahan stated that the Oceanic |
Steamship Co, had no difficulty in al
ways keeping on hand a supply of ma
tive labor. Mr.. J. Mott disputed his
statement recalling the visit ~ the
Sonoma on New Years day. All the
natives We're out to luaus and nothing
could bring them back
1t was finally decided TO appoint a |
committee to confer with the Mer-
chants Association regarding the mat
ter.

The wee news item proclaiming that the Sublime
Porte has retained a press agent is proof positive
that the sublime ones intellect is wig-wagging
along highly sublime lines. To that idea of the Sui
tan discerning Americans will ~profuseIy saIaam.
The Portes noodle evidently is awakening TO what
is pedantically called the Tendencies of the times"
So much so, that the Powers should take heed. for,
beyond a doubt, if the Sultan gets a good American
press agent, he will be in q fair way TO reconquer
most of Europe, instead of remaining, as he is gem
orally regarded, both q buffer and a duffer.
Joe Morcombe Of Iowa Falls, Ia, is announced as
the chosen press agent of the Sultan. Nobody has
heard of Joe, but that is no criterion of his abilities
as a press agent. Iowa is a State which in the mat
ter Of ideas has disturbed the land. The Iowa Idea
so much advertised Iowa that Iowa now gets all the
best jobs. Her leaders are put in the Cabinet and
are doomed for President. You get into the band
wagon" in Iowa and you Immediately get q good
job, much of which undoubtedly is due to the Iowa
Idea. What the press agent needs is ideas. and. as
Joe halls from a State full of ideas. he should be
able to transport 4 few of them across the brine in
the interest Of the turbaned potentate.
The Sultan suddenly seems to have awakened to
the perception that the brand Of reports emanatng
from his dominions is not conducive to his welfare.
he believes that if n bit more Of CHEEKY and en-
couraging color were woven into the descriptions
from Turkey the rest Of the world would be more in
clined to leave him in peace. He thinks that his
court, his palace, his harem and ali that in and
around them be are susceptible, TO use a literary
phrase, Of a more artistic treatment" You may
rely on the American press agent, Most High Lord
of the Scimitar! Place him not where the bullets are
the thickest, but in the vicinity of the wine cellar.
Give him the choicest 10 smoke, and, as the vintage
clears his brain, he will shape from out the smoke
rings such fancy portraits Of your sublime self, Of
your court, your palace, your wars-and your harem,
too-that the public %perfOrce will regard Turkey as
more than speakable. In addition, it will mean bust
ness. Hordes will troop to your land Of the crescent
moon, there to spend their dollars. Work the press.

opinion the like Of which has not been seen since

During the twenty years 1850 to 1907 tho rates Of
growth FL the two sections OF the country have been
practically Identical; in the South the growth was
slightly more rapid for the period 1859 to 1850 than it
was for the preceding period 1850 to 1850. while in the
North IL was much less rapid. During the three twenty
year periods prior to the Civil War the growth in the
North was about one and onc-half times as rapid as
that IN the South.
In 1850 tie population OF the two regions was about
tie same; in 1850 the population u the North was
greater by three-foUrths than that Of tho South: in 1890
It Was almost double. During the entire century from

rapidly, while IN the last ten years they have increased
less rapidly than tho Southern.
