Attention

Why remain in the North and
stay in doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
ducing something the year
round. If you are a stock raiser
you know your stock are now
eating their heads off" and,
besides. have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by ex-
pensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
fiesh-forming and fat-forming
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce in
abundance the velvet bean and
cassava, the first a flesh pro-
Queer and the latter a fat pro-
Queer, and they are the cheapest
and best fattening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing and
truck gardening along our road
in the South than in any other
section of the Union.

GENERALIZATION.

People who love to repeat old shib-
boleths have much to say against the
Capitalization" of government. New
ertheless every decade shows a closer
approach to such status in Federal
affairs. Speaking of the recent decis-
ion of the U. s. Supreme Court, put
ting the Erie canal into Federal com
troll, a San Francisco journal says:
"The story of the development of the
United States is a story of the CEN
tralization of power In the Federal
government. With regard to matters
connected with the framework of gov
eminent, We Americans are the most
conservative people on earth, and so
the movement has been slow, but 1t
has been none the less sure. The
tendency is a natural, an inevitable
one. 1t is seen in every phase Of hu-
man activity. The time is coming
when California and New York will be
geographical, not political, names;
when every citizen of this country will
realize to the fullest extent that he
is citizen of the Whole United
States"
Here in Hawaii we are engaged in
decentralizing experiment with the
most unhappy prospects for the tax
payers; yet every thoughtful citizen
knows that If the whole OF local
authority were lodged in single sys-
TEN of administration as simple as
that of mayor and board of trustees,
Hawaii would be better off. In all
kinds of business, Capitalization means
the most efficiency at the least cost; 1t
directs armies and ships in the only
way they can be managed and made
useful. Why, then, should it not be
desirable in the business Of civil gov
eminent, especially in a land where
there are ample guarantees against
abuses of power?

..Home RULE" AmemcANI,m

I The abuse of Governor Carter and
the class of citizens who realize the
fact OF annexation, eliminated on
Saturday last. In two declarations by
the testy Home Rule" organ, first /:
that they claim ito be born as Poly
nesians and to love Hawaii and the
Hawaiians, but at heart they are false.

CORE" and, second that the people
Of the Territory must now bow our
heads, bend the knee and scrape our
feet" before the Governor. IAN
AMERICAN IN THOUGHT AND
FEELING" These reasonable ex-
pressions are appropriate to a party
that has usurped an honored name
and has deliberately and formally
proposed a relapse into the politics Of
the past. They were naturally pre-
ceded with the Inconsistency that be-
longs to politicians OF the counterfeit
Home Rule" class, by an endorse
ment of the Mitchell amendments that
antagonize local self-government.
1t Is only under the free institutions
of the United States and through the
conscious strength and liberal sent-
ments of the American people, that
such RIGHTEOUSNESS is for n moment
tolerated. Give self-styled Home
Rulers rope enough and they will
certainly hang themselves. 1t is nat
ural that they should lose the last
remnant of self-control and burst into
volley of brutal epithets, when 1t is
remembered that their open corrup-
ton in the legislature has been thor
oughly exposed and that the exposure
was forwarded by intelligent and hon.
est natives who refused to yield to the
pressure of local plunderers. The
highest tribute to the manliness and
to the Americanism of Messrs. Dwight
and Lane, who are not isolated in their
independence and integrity. is the de-
liberate suggestion that they should
have broken their oaths as Grand Ju-
rors and STOOD in" not with the mass
of native citizens, but with the hybrid
mixture of nationalities of which the
Home Rule" faction consists. Where

spected, but bloated derider of the

meet the straitened financial resources
of the Territory as such consequent on

THE PASSING OF DOwlE.

Dowie has had a remarkable career
as a financier. but anybody who has
the hypnotic power of deceiving people
into giving their savings to him, may
accumulate as much as he did. The
final success of such men, however,
Is tested by their power to manage
their properties, to endure prosperity
and to keep their dupes in line to
make good all losses or deficiencies.
That Is where Dowie failed. He
was able, at first, in his character of
hungry zealot, to secure thousands Of
converts and hundreds of thousands
of dollars. The people and the money
he invested in Zion City. His enter
prises were we'll started but in the in
evitable frictions Of community life
and business he lost his grip upon the
veneration of his followers. AS the
latter grew more commercial, they be-
came less credulous: and as Dowie
became more prosperous he became
less respected. There was mutiny
among the lace-makers; many people
left Zion" and fiouted the pretensions
of Dowie to be a resurrected and re-
incarnated prophet of old; contribu-
tions fell off. Then Dowe tried a
coup d'theatre. To New York he went
to start revival, hoping to draw into
his church enough tithe-bearing wealth
to save the credit of Zion City, over
which the shadow of a receivership
had begun to hover. But New York
heard and laughed. A rich and we'll
fatted evangelist, standing in the very
whirl Of worldly life, in an age of
rationalism, and proclaiming himself
the returned Elijah could only be met
with ridicule and jeers. Out of New
York's three millions hut forty
seven people We're Converted
none of them being people of means
and most of them women. Money
was lost, not made, by the New York
venture; and but one thousand dol
lars were subscribed by Zionites out
of the million demanded by Dowie as a
pledge of their fidelity. Now ruin
comes.
But fools are born every minute and
If Dowie disappears some one of hyp-
motto power and equally incredible pre-
tensions will enlist as many dupes as
he did in some other fantastic enter
prise. The passing of Dowie will be
no particular gain to the world; there
are others. What humanity needs is
reduction in the number of persons
who are easily gulled.

TERRITORIAL JURlES.

The Independent expresses the Home
Rule idea of the sanctity of juror $
oath by its hostile comments on the
Hawaiians who, as members OF the
Federal Grand Jury, assisted the
course of justice in the vouchers In
quiry. Against John C. Lane and
Samuel G. Dwight it Is vituperative.
OF the former 1t says his course on
the Grand Jury sis sufficient to hold
him up to odium and derision among
his own kind" and it's opinion Of Mr..
Dwight is of zone incapable Of origi-
mating or of making a show of fight
because he has neither of them" And
the Independent goes on to say: He
Dwight recently had the impudence
and bold effrontery to crave for public
favor at the hands of the Hawaiian
electorate, when he knows nothing of
how to defend his own fellows. Both
have shown that neither of them are
fit to be trusted for any high position.
OF the other two, they are much be-
meath them, because we know whereof
we are speaking, not by hearsay, but
from contact and experience"
The offences of Mr.. Lane and Mr..
Rule paper were in not refusing to
indict or reprimand Hawaiians accused
of breaking the law. The Independent,
like the party behind it, believes that
a Hawaiian juror should always clear
Hawaiian offender, especially when
he has been brought to bar by white
man. Inevitably and always, the ma
tive Home Ruler of the lower type,
draws a color line in court. Justice,
the sanctity of Jurors oath, are
nothing to him; what he wants to do is
to use jurors power to protect people
of his own race from the consequences
of their misdeeds. When Hawaiians
appear who, like Messrs. Lane and
Dwight, have respect for their sworn
duty and do not distinguish racially
between culprits under the ban of the
law, they are abused for 1t by the ig-
norant and vicious of their own race,
of whom the Independent Is an exem-
plar. They are abused, partly to dis
cipline them and partly to brighten
other Jurors who may also be inclined
to do their duty in the face of racial
prejudice.
This Is a serious matter indeed and
unless rectitied in some way 1t will
work vast harm to the Territory and
to our development along traditional
! American lines.

GOOD FOR THE TERRITORY

Hereafter the small farmer who asks
about openings in Hawaii will not get
a circular telling him that he can only
raise coffee and that coffee doesn't
pay. The new Commissioners, Major
Pratt, will do his best to settle up the
land with industrious Americans and
in doing so he will confer the greatest
possible benefit upon the Territory.
The American farmer means to Ha-
wall:
I. A vast increase in diversified do
nestle and export production.
ii. Cheaper living for consumers.
III. Large additions to taxable
property.
w. A steadier and more dependable
electorate.
". The more rapid Americanization
of the Territory, promoting the inter-
ests of Statehood.

The art of counterfeiting food prod
ucts seems to have enlisted much of
the rare talent that once went in for
initiating bank bills. The Argonaut
says that ordinary liver patty is now
made into Strassburger pate de fole
gras by means of boraX and finely
chopped pieces of black silk represent
ing truffles; in Paris he says, snails are
adulterated with the lungs of cattle
and horses: even entirely artificial
snails are manufactured, the shells be-
ing recoated with slime, and filed with
lung; chopped truffles" are made out
of black rubber, silk, or softened
leather; whole truffles" are made
from roasted potatoes favored with
ether; and fresh rooster combs" are
made from hogs intestines. Perhaps
these are examples enough without
drawing further from the reports OF
U, S, Consuls to sustain the plea for a
national pure food law.

In two years time the Portuguese
of Honolulu will cast about one thou
sand votes and next year the Chinese
will cast about 500. This new aspect
OF our politics is caused by the arrival
at their majority. of the sons of labor
immigrants who have settled on the
soil, A wise policy for the Republican
party would be to form these young
men into political clubs and see that
they are educated, through literature,
in the aims, principles and history of
the Republican party. Otherwise their
votes, which will be decisive In our
local elections, may be cast against
their own interests as members of the
community.
