The Republicans framed and passed
the County bill and, being responsible
for It, would have the strongest of
reasons to prove it sound working
charter. They want to make it an
instrument of good government and
they know how. The Home Rulers are
without experience or special quail
fications in the work of organizing any
form of government. They did not
put the monarchy together and they
held aloof from the constructive work
of those who built up the Provisional
government and the Republic. So
far as the science of government goes
they are children cropping in the dark.
To elect them would be to choose in
competence over experience and Or
ganiZing ability.

the TAX ASSESSOR.

OF all the county offices, the one the
most difficult to FIJI fairly and at the
same time acceptably, is that of tax
assessor.
1t is necessary, in order to be fair
to the public as whole, to assess
property at full values. on the other
hand there are some who look upon
the values placed upon their property
as excessive and they accordingly have
grudge against the assessor, whom
they look upon as an enemy.
The difficulties in the administration
OF the office are inherent, and they Will
remain so until taxes are no longer
levied, or there is radical change in
human nature.
There are doubtless some voters who
hold n grudge against the present as
SCISSOR, who Is also the Republican
nominee for County Assessor. But
those who know Mr.. Pratt and his
work assert that never in Hawaii has
there been as careful, systematic, con-
scientious and complete assessing OF
the taxes as has been done by Mr..
Pratt.
II is clair1ed by some that real estate
is valued too high for taxation pur-
poses in Honolulu, and they blame the
assessor personally for this. Some
voters have even announced that they
were going to vote against him for
this reason. There is undoubtedly
foundation for the complaint that val
uations are high, but there Is another
side to the question. The government
must be supported. The County gov
ernments will increase the expenses
but not the income. The increased
income must come from somewhere.
The only available resource which
will produce any considerable amount
is the tax levy. The requisite amount
of taxes can be obtained either by In
creasing the tax rate or by high
estimate of value on the property tax
ed. Neither method is agreeable. One
Is necessary. AS between the two the
general feeling Is that low rate and
high valuation is by far the most adj
vantageous to the public interests
Under these circumstances, II Is I'M
fair and absurd to withhold support
from an officer who has proved himself,
honest and efficient, simply because
the necessities Of the situation COM
pei a high valuation for which the
condition OF affairs. and not the as
SCISSOR individually. Is responsible.
Irrespective of the personal element,
Mr.. Pratt stands as a representative
of the party Of progress and ability.
Its success at the polls will strengthen
the credit not only Of the government,
but individual credit as well.
1t is of the greatest Importance to
Hawaii and her citizens that no half
hearted support be given to the party
which stands for honest government.
1t will be a discourager of honest
effort, and impartial administration
and of party effort, II Mr.. Pratt is not
elected.
The fact that some inconsiderate
voters who should know better are
opposing him for no good reason. calls
for all the stronger effort to elect him.

SUIT AGAINST COTTON MILLS
Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses--'
Internal Revenue Receipts.
Especial to News and Observer)

Especial to News and Observer.)
Durham, N c., July 31.-The money
taken in by the internal revenue depart
ment during the month which ended this
afternoon at o'clock amounted to $129,-
32755 The receipts are slightly behind
the receipts last month, but show that a
very large business was done During a
portion of the month the smoking tobacco
department of the Duke factory worked
night and day. A
Twenty-six couples were united in mar
riage in this county during this month.
OF this number there were fifteen white
couples and eleven colored couples.
W. H. Marks, of this city, has insti-
tuted suit against the Harriet Cotton
Mills of Henderson, for damages in the
sum of $1,000. Messrs. Guthrie & Guthrie
have been retained by Mr.. Marks. While
the complaint has not been filed as yet,
it is learned that the suit is based upon
the fact that the plaintiff lost two or
three fingers while working in the mill
of the defendant in 1901. Soon after that
time he moved to this city. The COM
plant will be filed in a short while, and
the mill will answer at the approa ching
term of court.
In the police court this morning Will
Whitaker colored, was up upon the charge
of obtaining money under false pretense.
He had new scheme along the confidence
line. Recently some ten or eleven of the
saloons in the city were refused license
The negro conceived the idea that he
could get money by telling farmers that
he represented these eX-saloon men and
could sell them whiskey for $125 per gal
lon His scheme was a 60 He explained
his business in a rather confidential man
ner and three farmers at once whipped in
the necessary amount to get each a gallon
OF whskey. One Of the number went with
the negro to get the booze, but he was
given the slip and the only remedy left
was for the men to report the matter to
the police. This was done and Whitaker
was arrested on description furnished. In
court this morning the duped men appear
ed and positively identified the man He
was sent over to court under a bond of
500, which he could not give and was
committed to Jail.
The fifty convicts recently employed by
this county from the State penitentary,
arrived in Durham this morning and have
been sent out to the county stockade.
