THE ELECTIONS.

The result of the Oahu polling, with
one or two exceptions, is satisfactory
to the Republican party and the tax
payers. The Board of Supervisors will
be in Republican hands by vote or
four to three, thus assuring economy
and business judgment in the conduct
of county affairs. AS A. NJ. Brown is
elected Sheriff there will be no dis
turbance of the police. County Clerk,
Auditor, Treasurer and Attorney are
Republican. But one important office
goes to a Home Ruler, that of Assessor
and Collector to Curtis P. Iaukea who
was elected as a protest against the in
creased assessments made by Mr..
Pratt.
One significant result of the elections
was the defeat of James Boyd and
Charles Wilcox. It is plain that the
people have had enough of both and
that such official conduct as theirs has
been will have to look elsewhere than
to Oahu electorate for encourageT
ment c. w. Booths defeat points
similar moral. There is healthy feel
ing here towards official grafters and
worse, which appears among Hawai-
JAMS as well as whites. 1t will tend in
future to discourage the nominations OF
such men.
Having won in the face of discourage
ment, strong opposition from the enc
my and apathy in it's own ranks, the
Republicans are in shape to organize
future victories Governor Carter will,
we believe, give the islands produc-
tive Republican administration. 1t viii
be one to strengthen the party through
out the group. We shall count 1t
strange if, under such stimulus and
with a past record of success at the
polls, the Republicans do not CONSOLE
date themselves so that they cannot be
weakened in Hawaii by anything short
of a Democratic triumph in the nation
and the induction here of a CORPS OF
Democratic Federal officials. Even
then they may be made strong enough
to hold8their own.

AN ESTEE MEMORIAL

a memorial session, with reference
to the death of Judge Estee, was held
by the Builders and Traders Exchange
last night President Gartley, in
| opening the proceedings, stated the pur-
pose of the meeting with touching re-
marks. He was followed in speech by
L. E. Pinkham, as chairman of com
n1ittee introducing the memorial reso-
| Iutions.
| w. C. weldon, who was foreman of
| the first Federal grand jury empaneled
on the departed Judge. Other speakers
were E. Tappan Tannatt and ]. D.
Avery, secretary of the Association as
by Judge Estee:
Following are the resolutions:
Whereas, the Territory of Hawaii has
lost, by death, the first Federal Judge.
Whereas, Morris M. Estee has gone
the way marked by God for all man
kind.
Whereas, the human Judge has gone
before the Divine Judge with the simple
plea 81 have always tried to do right
by every human being,'' which shall not
fail.
Whereas, the pen has been forever
laid down and the voice is forever still
ed that wrote and plead in private and
in public, through the press and from
the rostrum, for the highest ideals and
practice in public and private life
Resolved: That we bow in reverence
and in grief to the Divine decree That
we recognize in Morris NJ Estees pub
lie career an inspiration and example
to those who love justice and mercy
and would keep their manhood and
spirit unstained by unworthy act or
motive. That we recognize in his pub
lie letters and addresses the most
commanding influence in intoxicating
true American spirit and patriotism,
that Hawaii might become a sincere
supporter and defender of each and ey-
cry human right and liberty, however
humble the individual. That we rec
ognize Morris M. Estee left a heritage
greater than wealth or power, so i'm
measurable in it's rich spirit and man
hood that all are his heirs if they so
will. That in his death Hawaii has
suffered public loss that calls for re-
newed devotion to the ideals he so
truly represented.
Resolved: That we extend to his
widow and family our profound SIM
pathy, calling to mind the comfort and
consolation good man leaves to those
he devotedly loved.
Resolved: That these resolutions be
engrossed and forwarded to his widow

The Bilbos Affair.

BILBAO, Spain, Oct. 29.-The garri-
son of Bilbao has been reinforced but
the troops still have difficulty in cop
ing with the rioting strikers who con-
stantly erect nav barbados as the old
ones are torn down by the soldiers.
The city presents a sorry spectacle ow-
ing to the widespread destruction
wrought by the mob. The rioters used
dynamite in several instances to blow
in the doors of the Jesuit's houses and
TO destroy the railroad tracks with the
object of preventing trains from enter
ms Bilbao. High prices are already
being charged for provisions. Even
bread is selling at .seventy-eight cents
loaf. Six persons were killed and a
hundred Injured during yesterdays
contests. Hundreds of terror-stricken
people have fed the city. The railroad
employees now threaten to Join the
strikers. Acting under orders from
Madrid the governor of Bilbao mas
summoned the mine-owners to a con-
ference.

Rirbe CORE cts Mistake.

Birbe called yesterday at Secretary
Carriers Office, with one of the inspec-
tors of the Seventh Precinct. AS soon
as they saw the sheet of returns, Birbe
said: That's a mistake, where's the
tally book?" Getting his tally book
from the papers which he had turned
in to Mr.. Carriers office at six o'clock
on Wednesday morning, Birbe said:
'"There, those are the figures, the same
as I gave to the Advertiser and which
were published in that paper this morn-
ing" An examination of the Adver-
Users tabulased election returns show
ed that Mr.. Birbe was right, Mahoe had
291 votes and S. c. Dwight 161 votes.
This elects S. K. Mahoe as super
visor, giving the Home Rulers three
members on the board-Harvey, Kealo-
ha and Mahoe, while the Republicans
have four observation-disclosures Luz
cas-, Gilman and Hooking.
The mistake on the return sheet was
made by one of the Seventh Precinct
clerks in copying them from the tally
book which was at the bottom of the
bag containing the Seventh Precinct
ballots. This bag had not been ex-
amined, in fact there has not yet been
time to sort out and examine any of
the returned packages from the inspec-
tors of election. The bag was not seal
ed and Registrar auckland looked into
it yesterday when the Home Rule par
tvs representatives called about Ma
hoes vote but as a glance showed that
it was apparently full of nothing but
ballots, auckland at once tied the bag
up again, as he is under orders not to
touch any package of ballots. Birbe
lifted his bundle of ballots out of the
bag yesterday and took the tally book
from underneath it. The ballots were
sealed, as the law requires, and the
book was loose and unwrapped. Birbe
and one of his inspectors corrected the
figures on his return sheet, initiated
the correction, and signed the sheet
This had not been done yesterday
morning when work was finished, in the
hurry and rush to get through with the
job that had kept inspectors and clerks
busy for almost twenty-four hours.

THE TROUBLE AT PANAMA.

Panama is ready to fight, if need be,
for the canal For years the people
there have been living, when they lived
at all, in hope and expectation OF
return of the good times of years ago
when De Lesseps was scattering mon
ey like leaves and building palaces like
a new Aladdin These eager spirits
have grown old waiting for the boom
to come back, but months ago they were
suddenly rejuvenated by the passage OF
the Panama bill in the United States
Senate. Property went kiting. Who
ever had any money left, promptly in
vested it in land along the canal route.
Credit was stretched to the uttermost.
Panama. forgetting it's myriad disap-
pointments, lighted cigarettes and
made air-castles in the smoke.
Then came a sudden shock. The
Colombian Congress, after seeking
canal treaty for years, rejected the
one the United States had offered.
There was no worthy reason for such
a course. 1t was believed at Panama
as well as at Washington that the CO.
lombian legislators had been bribed by
the American railroad combine, as very
likely they had. Panama, with all its
money wagerod on the canal, did not
enjoy the spectacle of Bogota states
men being suddenly enriched by the
price of it's own betrayal and it took
the usual Spanish-American way of
getting even. Today Panama has its
own flag up as an independent State
and is entering upon revolt in the
hope of getting the moral and ma
terial support of the United States.
Probably it will be disappointed in
this. The most Panama can hope for
is complete American neutrality. But
if it carries the day on the battlefield
its fortune will be made, for nothing
would suit the United States better
than to conclude a canal treaty with
it and put the great waterway through
from ocean to ocean, by the shortest
route.

The mainland State elections resulted
in a drawn battle, Republicans and
Democrats holding their previous
ground. In New York city the ex-
pected happened and Republicans have
no cause politically, to regret the fact.
1t is always desirable in New York

an object lesson of Tammany govern
ment. This has been provided by the
voters and next year President Roose-

ana D0ttsvy.

According TO . ruling in the circuit
court at Welch, Mcdowell county. w.
Va. a Negroes head is considered "a
dangerous and deadly weapon" says a
report from that section. Frank Mar
tin brought suit for $4,000 against
James Knox, a prominent. attorney at
WEIGH, for damages sustained by being
pounded with a pair Of steel knucks.
Martin is a colored mar and has n head
of abnormal proportions. The testi-
mony in the case was that Martin be-
came incensed at the attorney. while
the latter was in his place Of business.
and that the negro bowed low and
started to "butt" the attorney out Of
his shop.
The attorney swore on the stand that
he regarded the negro's head as "a dan
gerous and deadly weapon" and that
to defend himself and probably save his
life he dealt him a few blows with steel
knucks. Evidence was adduced which
went to show that Martin had at differ
ent times "butted" people out of his
shop. The judge gave n verdict in
favor of the defendant. ruling that un-
der the circumstances he regarded the
negroes head as Dangerous and dead
ly weapon" and that the attorney act
ed in self-defense.

somoly for Their Privileges II
Argentina

One of the smaller states compos-
ing the Argentine Republic has NO
use for bachelors. The law holds
that a man is manageable in Argen-
tina when he is 20. The exchequer
gives point to the opinion by taxing
all bachelors of between 20 and 30
IS a month. After 30 and UP to IS
the tax increases 100 per cent. Be
tween 35 and so single blessedness
costs $50 a month. From his fiftieth
to his seventy-fifth year a bachelor
may follow his own wild road by
paying in $50 a month. After that
comes relief. The vicious example
of an unmarried man Of between rs
and 50 is considered to be nsu.ral-
lied by a paymen, of only $50 Il year,
and when the eightieth birthday is
passed the treasury finally ceases
from worrying.
A widower is given three years in
which to mourn and choose a sue
ccssor. but a n who can prove
that he has proposed and been re-
fused three times in one year is con-
sidered to have earned immunity.
Here, one would think, is an easy
loophole. but the law is said to act
like a charm.

MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI,

Too many men long for better things
but are not equal to handling them
when they come. Too often the in
dividual mourn that he is not so
fortunate as his neighbor, when all
that is wrong is the fact that he could
not recognize an opportunity to i'm
prove his business condition or to en-
large the circle from which he might
draw. The whole difficulty comes
from a lack of appreciation Of oppo1-
tunity and of not being able to make
more of the opportunity that is pre-
sented. If all the merchants in a
town were equally careless of conse-
quences or equally lax in taking ad
vantage of trading opportunities the
result might not be to the serious Diet
riment of any one of them but would
be to the disadvantage of the &whole
community, since it taking the chance
us it came and doing with it what
might be done there would not only

sibility must be held accountable TO,
the bad condition or get the credit TO,

who is continually pushing for the

the community, and in pushing i.
