No notice has SO far been taken OF
the section of the Audit Act of 1898
quoted the other day, nor have we yet
noticed that the present incumbent OF
the Office of Auditor has resigned from
the different positions held by him on
the outside. We hope that it will not
be lost sight of by the approaching Leg
islature.

We are OF the opinion that the recent
change of Japanese interpreters in the
Circuit Court is a bad move on the part
of the First Judge. A competent Jap
anese scholar was forced out by being
asked to resign and an incompetent put
in his place. One, native Hawaiian,
who has an imperfect knowledge of the
English language, which language to-
gether with the japanese are both for
eign to him; and, the other, white
man, who has made himself objection

legal circles in different ways. The

We hope that in the future, some
consideration and recognition should
be given the Fire Claims Commission,
as it is still 1T" If it has a mind to-
it can hold everything up, but its dis
position is not to retard business and
to hold matters up. All of the members
are interested in seeing every claimant
paid their full awards, since the United
States Congress has seen fit to help out
the Territory in tightening its burden
and in relieving the sufferers, who,
through no fault of theirs, were made
to suffer considerably.

The Commission, as a body with ju-
dicial powers, has not yet adjourned
sine die. 1t is its own master as far
as matters concerning its own proceed
ings and is still in existence. All its
records are still in its possession, and
only allowed to be vised to the chief
Territorial officials as an act of Official
courtesy, in order TO expedite the issu-
ing of warrants for the payment of the
claims. We hold that when it was de-
cided to issue certificates, and when
finally issued, they should have been
held as sufficient assurance TO the
Treasurer, or to the Auditor, TO cause
the issuance of warrants and of their
payment. But that was not enough,
they must pry into the hooks and crey-
ices, burdening all with an incongru-
Gus amount of red tape, akin to what
the Federal officials are demanding
from our Governor. We deem all this
red tape business entirely unnecessary

But, to think of either Secretary
Shaw or Secretary Hitchcock cabling
TO Governor Dole, and then to have the
Governor, with the Secretary of the
Territory, take upon themselves the
duty of overhauling the fire claims
records, without as much as "by your

We feel that the Commission, as law
fully constituted body still in existence
it should he apprised of every move
made, not only to its chairman, but to
all the members thereof. Yet we see it
entirely ignored, although it is still
the legal custodian of all fire claims
records.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-02-13

Neither the Governor nor the Secre-
tary can do anything with any of the
records of any Court of Record without
applying directly to those in authority
in a manner similar to what is being
done with the fire claims records. The
Governor, although the chief executive.
cannot do as he pleases with any Off
cial record. Everything officially must
come through its proper channel, i. e.:
if we are to follow in the same red tape
policy of the Federal authorities. If
we have a mind to, we can do it just
as well as any.

The NEGRO Problem.


To the Democratic Voters Of Missis-
sippi:
I desire to make my grateful
acknowledgment to you for the
emphatic endorsement which you
gave me at the primary. [ never
doubted the result for a single
moment during the canvass, be-
cause [ respected you and i'm
plicitly confided in your intelli-
gence, manhood and democra-
cy. | particularly value your
endorsement because it will
strengthen me in the senate, in
the discussion and settlement of
the race question, which is the
greatest and most far-reaching
that confrontS the American peo-
pie; a national question upon the
determination of which depends
the permanence of free institu-
tons in this nation. The best
minds in every section of the
country are engaged in it's con-
sideration, statesmen, divineS, ed
itors and political writer's are dis
GUESSING it with an earnestness
that has been intensified by the
position taken by President
Roosevelt.
Encouraged by your approval,
[ shall renew my efforts, both by
speech and pen, to bring the pub
lie mind to full realization of
the magnitude of the fateful
problem in which, I am glad to
assure you, I am laboring in &C
cord with my democratic col
leagues in the senate.
The signal victory which you
have given me places me under
renewed obligations to you to
serve you with all the energy and
faculties l possess. l assure my
friends, who have given me every
honor that I ever asked for, that
appreciate the generous enthu-
siasm of their efforts in my be-
half, and that I have not spent a
dollar to buy any newspaper or
personal service, made any |
pledges or promises of place to
assistance. Myfriends
have all been volunteers not
single mercenary in the camp.
With profound gratitude, [ am
your most obliged and obedient
servant, IL. ID. MONEY.

The announcement that Sena-
tor McLaurin would vote for
Critz is not surprising. Nc
Laurin's refusal to appoint Var
daman a commissioned officer in
the Spanish-American war is not
forgotten over the State and it is
not to be wondered at that men
representing such different ideas
of government should be opposed
to each other. McLaurin is the
embodiment of the machine and
knows with such a weakling as
Critz governor his control of the
political destinies of the State will
be complete: He believes in ma
chine methods and during his
administration built up the most
powerful organization which ever
dominated this State. Varda-
man represents the opposite
idea. He abhors machine meth
DDS, believes that all power rests
with the people and that they are
the source of all authority. The
Senator IS announcement serves
to emphasize what we have said
from the first, that this is bat
tie of the politician against the

Vardaman had hundreds OF
overtures made to him just after
the first primary Offering sup
port in exchange for patronage.
One statement of his replied to
all. He said that if a promise of
the lowest office in the State to
the highest citizen would secure
his nomination he would not
have it that way; that the APP
pointments of his administration
were not for sale, but would be
made to serve the best interests
of the State. Can the people af-
ford to vote against such a man
for Governor?

apart under the same codes and
customs. and have the impudence
TO be surprised when the results
are incomplete.
Primorily. therefore, when we
begin TO legislate for this inferior
race-for its virtues and for its
crimes we must be wise enough
to recognize the thirteen cen
turtles that separate it from US,
and frankly bold enough to make
different laws when necessary
for the government of the lower
race. This is bold, but it is wise.
1t may be revolutionary. but it is
the com mon sense of the situa-
ton. And craftsmanship in it's
last analysis is common sense.
Practical craftsmanship recogni-
yes no ghosts and is appalled, by
no traditions. It goes to the
point and does the thing that is
necessary without fear and with
out apology.
We are here today to discuss
tranquil conditions. We are here
to meet a serious emergency.
We are not called to treat spring
fever or a summer cold. We are
here to grapple with a cancer
that is eating it's way into the re-
public's life.
These two opposite and inher-
entity antagonistic races cannot
grow up side by side on equal
terms of law and possession in
the same territory. There is not
a line of history that justifies the
hope or the faith that they may.
Every faint hope that tranquil
ity breeds or philanthropists fos-
ter. OF politicians encourage has
time and again been withered in
hundred recurring crises like
this, and if people were not blind
or stupid or asleep they would
realize the fact written IN history,
ethnOlOgy and science that oppO-
site races are inherently and uni
versally antagonistic, and cannot
share and have never shared in
peace and equality since the
world began any country or any
government created by God or
fashioned by man.
The politicians and the apathy
behind them may postpone the
solution for a while longer. but
sooner or later the wisdom of
the fathers and the purpose of
the Almighty will prevail. +"

Death of MISS Anna Hale.

The friends and acquaintances
of Miss Anna Hale were shocked
to learn of her death in Atlanta
on Sunday. Miss Hale was i'll
only a few days, she being in
the hospital in Atlanta suffering
from appendicitis. The body
was brought to this city
and inferred in Friendship
cemetery yesterday, Rev. Dun
bar II. Ogden officiating. Miss
Hale had resided in this city up
to d few years ago when she
went to Atlanta to live. For
number of years she taught in
the Franklin Academy in this
city and by her strength of char
acter and sweetness Of DISPOSE
ton won the love and respect of
every one. She was dev0ut
member Of the Presbyterian
church and was always ready to
help in the work of the church.
The funeral was conducted from
the Presbyterian church, the
following acting as pail bearers:
Messrs S.B. Street, T. B. Frank
lin, W. Campbell, CD. Harris,
J. NJ. Barrow, Tom Harris, War
rem Cox and E. r. Hopkins.

OPPOSITE RACES.

Out of this proposition grows
a corallary pertinent to the issue
Of the hour. We cannot govern
these two opposite unequally de-
veloped races under the same
customs or by the same laws.
We have been making the fatal
mistake of applying twentieth
century laws to a twentieth
century race, and, in equal con-
sideration, the same laws to
race scarcely civilized. TIL e
negro belongs by development to
a period not later than the sew
enth century, and yet we are try
ing here to solve his problems
and to rule his passions by the
benign laws of a period thirteen
hundred years IN advance of his
civilization. England to-day is
living under laws milder and less
exacting than the statutes which
governed her people two hundred
years ago. America is living un-
der laws less rigorous and exact
ing than those of the revolution.
As civilization advances and asin-
telligence and refinement spread,
men require less law and less re
straint. This is history, as well
as philosophy, and yet, in the
face of both history and philoso-
ply. we are trying here to gov
ern the seventh century and the
twentieth century Q.3OO years

THE RACE QUESTION.


4 the people Of the State are en-
+ crossed with the consideration
of living issue: an issue which
50 closely affects their welfare
and their destiny, an issue the
magnitude of which many fail
entirely to perceive, we want
to present a few extracts from
the address Of John Temple
Graves before the New York
Chautauqua. AS the EN- bodi-
ment Of Southern sentiment and
| Southern ideas, as one of the
/ leaders of this section, as a man
who has given years of his life to
the study of the race problem
and whose life and training and
residence has afforded abundant
opportunity therefor, he was
asked to discuss The Mob" be-
fore an audience representing
the wisdom, the learning. the in
telligence Of this country. He
defended the mob and said as
long as the gentle and refined
women of the South were made
the victims of lust and murder
there was no remedy for it. The
prevention of rape he discussed
DIT length and said he could sug-
gest only two remedies. amputa-
ton and separation of the races,
the latter mpracticable under
our civilization
But it is not so much of the
mob that we wish to present this
morning. We want to call our
readers attention to a few ex-
tracts from this great address
In the hope that after rejecting
over them they will be impress
ed with the great magnitude and
vital Importance of this question.
1t will be noted that the views of
Vardaman, Senator Money and
all the thinkers of the age on
this question find endorsement
in Graves utterances and as a
student of chronological and social
conditions in the South he has
no superior In the course of
his admirable paper he said:
I state here a proposition
which is vital 1t requires and
admits no debate. The negro is
an inferior race. Of all the ma
tions Of the earth, the African
has registered the smallest de-
velOpment and recorded the few
est achievements. 1t has made
no history and developed no civil
izatiOn. What this people have
done they have done only under
their two centuries of contact
with the white man, from whom
they have learned very very little
and after whom they have pat
termed very much. The negro is
the weakest and the Anglo Saxon
the strongest race on earth.
With the all-conquering Saxon
given thousand years the start,
the recordless African is placed
side by side with him, upon equal
terms of law. and, in the I'M
speakable and unexplainablefo folly
of craftsmanship of emergency
and compromise, these two races,
wide as the poles in merit and
development, are expected to
share upon equal terms the priv
ileges and the vast responsible
ties of the greatest and freest
government under the sun. It
is difficult to conceive how any
passion of partisanship or any ex-
pediency Of craftsmanship could |
have forecasted any peace or any
profit from an experiment so in
congruous and so hopeless of as
similation.
