A HAUNTED HOUSE.
How This Particular One Got Its
Reputation.


Reputation.
ut Is curious what an appetite peo-
pie have for things smacking of the
mysterious and gruesome," said a
Washington man to a Star reporter
the other day. There is a whole lot
of superstition in this world even
among educated people, and it is
amazing how readily pepole accept
unfounded reports Of the mysterious
sort, as though they were determined
facts.
AN illustration of this tendency to
believe remarkable tales came to my
notice recently with regard to a GER
tain house in Washington which was
said to be haunted" continued The
Stars informant. 1.-TWO young men
were strolling along the street one
evening some time ago with two young
ladies. The conversation had turned
upon haunted houses, and several
tales Of frightful mystery had been re-
lated. Before the party of four reached
the homes Of the young ladies they
passed a small house which was al
most Obscured by vines. 1t was a
rather gloomy looking place. especially
at night, and was inhabited by an old
couple who lived quietly and peace
fully, unmindful of the turmoil of the
out side world.
zone Of the young men noticed the
house and jokingly remarked that it
was said to be haunted The other
young man took up the story, and re-.
lated few imaginary incidents which
had occurred there in days gone by.
The young ladies evidently were i'm.
pressed, and not long afterward other
residents of the neighborhood knew
the story concocted by the young man
with the elastic imagination. At first,
according to the tale only one per-
son had been killed in the house In
a mysterious manner, but in a few
weeks several men, women and chill
: dren had met death there in the most
! awe-inspiring manner. Strange noises
shrieks and pleading cries were fire
> quently heard in the little vine-cov
cred cottage during the 'spookey
hours Of the night, and up to a few
: days ago the story of the haunted
house, which had been first started
in spirit Of fun and without any
foundation of truth whatever, was {
horrible tale, reellng with bloody anC
l gruesome mysteries. It came back tt
, the young men a few days ago, AM

how about the last one? We are wait

we are perfectly willing to undertake
it after election. Should the Republi-

for there can be no justice from

DOLE AND CARTER.

The appointment of Governor Dole to
be Federal judge, succeeding the late
NJ M. Estee, and the appointment OF
George r. Carter to be Governor in his
stead was not surprise to any per-
sons who have. carefully followed the
trend of events in the past several
months. Mr.. Carter had made hard
fight for his Office and has at the same
time kept before the President the i'm
portance of taking care of his political
father, Governor Dole, in the event of
anything else of value being turned out
of the political grist mill AS we have
pointed out before, Mr.. Carter's visit
to the east in September and October
was ostensibly to arrange for the sale
of the Hawaiian bonds, but was, in
reality, to cinch the Goveinorship for
himself and to feather the nest of Gov
ernor Dole. Developments have proved
that.

Besides those swords and other Roy.

there is story about fine clock be-
longing to the Hawaiian government

we will let that go. Pratt, however,
seems to have a weakness for pretty
things that do not belong to him. From
all accounts he is something like the

Roosevelt in regard to the Governor.

has already been appointed will be ig.
nored. It cannot be expected that the
recommendation will have any effect
other than to show the administration
at Washington that the people are not
in favor of Carter. But that will be
something.

The appointment of Carter to be
Governor, against the wishes of the
people, should draw out general and
hearty rebuke at the polls next Tues
day. Not man on the Republican
ticket should be elected. The over.
throw of the Republican ticket on
Oahu will show to Roosevelt and the
Republican party on the mainland that
the people want little to say in the
selection of their officials.

of unfit and undesirable officers. He
has, in other words, defied the voters
of this Territory; hurled into their
faces couple of men in whom the
electorate has not confidence. The
fact cannot but affect politics and
should be a striking object lesson to
persons now having in mind the sup
port Of the Republican ticket next
Tuesday. When one man, who hap
pens to have attended the same school
with the head Of the Republican party,
can subvert the popular will by mere
dint of that school-day friendship, it
is about time for the voter to look
around for something more substantial
to stand on.

What is demanded in the office of
county attorney is man of ability
and experience-no matter what his
politics are. 1t is brains, not political
faith, that will count. Edgar Caypless
was practicing law before young Raw.
Inns was born. He is licensed to prac'
tice in several States and Territories
and has already had the advantage of
having been an attorney for the coun'
ty of Arapahoe, which includes the
great city of Denver, in Colorado. Ed
gar Caypless is competent and ex-
perlenced man. Rawlins is q kid, q
sapling, no more fitted for the respon-
sibilities of the office to which he as
pires than any other high school boy.

But that is past and gone, How will
the appointments be received by the
people at large? Neither Dole nor
Carter were appointed by the will of
the people. Their appointments were
the result, purely and solely, of a pull
with one man, the President. Had the
offices been elective it is safe to say
that neither of the gentlemen would
for moment have been considered by
either political party in the Islands.
The Republican party would not have
dared place Mr.. Dole in nomination
for the district judgeship, and Mr.. Car
ter would surely have been dropped
like hot potato at the outset. Mr..
Roosevelt has, however, sci aside the
popular will and has taken the burden

Carter is an over-charged blunder-
buss. No one knows when he may go
eff or in which direction. Had he been
a nominee for the Office of Governor
he would not have received enough
votes to fill small boys eye. His
pull" though, has overridden the
popular will, for which the voters of
Hawaii have to thank President Roose-
welt and the Republican party--the
party that asks for votes for men of
the same breed next Tuesday. We
hope that Mr.. Carter means what he
says when he invites the good will
and cooperation of the people. 1t is
all up to him. however, as to whether
chance to whisper in his ear moment
We would tell him that the native Ha-
waiians and the whites of this Terri
tory want government for all the peo-
pie, chance for all and special priv
ileges for none. A platform Of that
sort will win for him in time confidence
and esteem; but if he accepts the Dole
policy as his guide he will keep alive
the present feeling that he is not the
man for the place.

Mr.. Dole will doubtless be an able
judge. But he is the tool of a political
clique and always has BEEN He is
guided by missionary influence as COM
pletely as is fish by its tail and fins.
He has never displayed a mind of his
own. He has ever been machine,
operated by back-stairs mentors. In
the court he would doubtless deal fair

other on the pockets of his friends.
