1t was stated by contemporary
that there was to have been confer
eDce between one member each from
the Chamber of Commerce, the Mer-
chants Association and the Republican
Central Committee with Delegate-elect
Jonah, to consult over the matter of
secretary to accompany the princely
citizen to Washington during the in
cumbency of his term as Delegate. So
far, the source that gave out that in
formation has not given out the result
OF such conference, which was to
The idea, so we understand, was to die
tate to the Delegate who he shall have
and that he could not have his already
known choice! We further understand
that the choice proposed must rest up
ON one of three, and the one insisted
upon was a strenuous young politician
who sprung into prominence during
the last campaign and is considered a
great gun. The Delegates choice has
already been made known, compe-
tent and capable prominent part-Ha-
waiian, and now it is proposed and
suggested, SO the yarn goes, that he
should substitute him by haole-Ha-
waiian. But We further understand
that no satisfaction has been given the
conferees and that may account for its
not being heralded forth. For our own
part, we would much prefer the first
choice, one after our own heart, ma
tive Hawaiian, and not native haole
born hawaiian, and we believe that the
Delegate is not one to be dictated to
nor played with. More will be learnt
later.

PULL TOGETHER.

We utterly fail to understand why
the Home Rulers, led by Previous
Question Dave" should attempt to
block the way of the County Bill. In
stead of working together towards
gaining the much desired end, now
comes an obstruction in the construc-
tion of the title of Bill No. and the
Organic Act, Section sc of which says
that the Legislature may create coun-
ties and town and city municipalities
within the Territory of Hawaii and
provide for the government thereof"
From our limited knowledge of Eng
lish, the wording of this section is not
mandatory, although we may" if we
want to, by and through the Legisla-
ture, create counties and town and
city municipalities"

being, for he expressed himself very
intelligently, to us, but very "inco-
herent" to others. But the "Row of
words" he read off from his already
prepared and ruled out minority report.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-03-21

and since it's resurrection from prema
ture death through senility, all
thought that everything would pass
on well. But otherwise has been
shown to be the case. We fail to see
what use there is in this obstruction.
They had better get down to work with
a will and do something for their con-
stituents, as both parties are pledged
to it. 1t is much better that they see
the matter through than to try play
politics. This sort of tactics cannot go
on forever, for there must be an end
somewhere anu some time, too.
We do not know, nor care, where
this young legislator got his legal in
spiration from. The Republican bill
has been in the hands of many capable
lawyers and they have, so far as
known, failed to find anything as ad-
vanced that it was incorrect by title,
untrue, uncertain, unintelligible and
illegal" Greater minds have had it
under consideration in the Senate and
they as well have failed to find these
applied terms to it.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-03-21

If we mistake not, there was tacit
understanding between the majority
faction of the Republican party and
the Home Rule minority of the House,
SO we are informed, that if the Kupi-
hea County Bill was taken from the
table, all would be plain saiilng and
they would work together to gain the
much desired goal. In that, we find
we have been entirely mistaken, for
the attempt to retard and Illustrate the
progress of this one all-important
measure is to block the progress of tne
work of the present Legislature. We
may be mistaken in our surmises, but
we fail to see wherein the people will
gain anything by the Home Rule play
of poli,ics. Both parties in the House
should get right down to work, as they
are doing up in the Senate and push
The matter along and through to its
ultimate finality.

COUNT NO ACCOUNT.

An accountant" who, over his own
signature, makes the statement that ne
h as been working without any VIII
fen instructions or authority" has pre-
seHted a sort of pro-Adamite report, TO
tho chairman of the Senate Committee
on Public Expenditures, relative TO ex-
nenditures made by the Department Oh

makua Forest Fires in 1901 and pre-
sents "sneak' report, of that old-tlme
matter long since settled, evidently
made under instructions, of some kind,
and with some Interior object in view.
The amounts and items are stated but
the facts are withheld, undoubtedly be-
cause unknown and uncalled for, for
this peculiar accountant, brother-in-
law of the Auditor, admits that Il am
working along different lines from
what has been the custom of former ac-
countants employed by the Legisla-
ture."
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-03-21

The great mind of the floor leader of
the minority party may have labored
hard and severe over this, for he says,
had the section read to create coun-
ties or town or city municipalities,
then the Legislature may consider sep
arate bills ON these subject matters.
But as it is now proposed, all bills
treating separately OF counties and
municipalities are useless and Illegal.
He thinks that counties and town and
city municipalities" must and all
should be embodied under one general
act, and held that the County Bill (No.

bill perfectly. We think that he is
somewhat mixed up in the formation
of his "conjunctions" and "preposi-
tions,'' either of which, transposed,
would very materially alter the sense

Now, to be serious, il appears on its
face that there was studied attempt
to cast odium upon the good work done
by Colonel James II. Boyd and his as
sistant, Marston Campbell, at the time
of the destructive forest fires in the
Hamakua district. Further, there is
an abortive attempt made to place
Frank Godfrey, professional writer
and compiler, as an unnecessary ad-
junct, therefore unnecessary expense,
yet it is not shown that two of the larg-
est items in Godfrey's account were
one year after the Hamakua Fires and
were for the arrangement of the report
of the Department which has only
lately been published Truly the ac-
eountant was working along unprofes
sional lines, and on false scent.

Statistics of Suicide

A Yale professor has been engaged for
some time past In studying the statistics
OF suicide with the purpose OF discovering
laws which may possibly influence the
minds of men and women in self-destruc-
ton He worked on the basis of 10 600
cases. covering the period of lS97-19Ol. OF
these. Isl were men and 22t9 women
Nearly half of the total, or 1901 were
married. OF the remainder. 4.054 were single.
$40 widowed and 1913 divorced. the marital
condition OF 262 being unknown. Prof
Bailey found that more single widowed
and divorced women commit suicide than
men In like condition. while married men
are more prone to take their lives than
married women. The largest percentage
of suicides occur between the ages of
thirty and forty years. followed closely
by the preceding decade of life. two thirds Of
the suicides being found between twenty
and fifty years OF the total 80 per cent
found death by means of shooting and 81
per cent by poison, much smaller percent
ages choosing drowning cutting gas. jump
ing, hanging. etc.
Only a morbid interest attaches to such
statistics unless they can point to some
general conditions to which sociologists
might address corrective attention. Prof
Bailey seeks. therefore. to develop such
lines in his inquiry. pointing out that de-
spondency Is the leading motive. claiming
about 20 per cent of the victims, while
business loss. ill-health and insanity ac-
count for sbout 10 per cent each, followed

of alcoholism is seventeen times as COM
mon among men as women. BY what
would seem at first glance to be futile
inquiry into the frequency of suicides as
to days of the week, Prof. Bailey has de-
veloped an interesting and perhaps impor-
tant theory. He finds that Monday Is the
favorite day for self-destruction followed
closely by Sunday. From Monday to Fri
day there is gradual falling OFF, but on
Friday there is a marked increase. while
fewest of all occur on Saturday. On this
point the investigator says:
For those who have endured throughout
the week there is pay day at hand, followed
by day of rest. Among the males Mon
day is pre-eminently day for sulcloe.
Females prefer Sunday to Monday. Re-
ligious excitement may have something 10
do with this, but nearly third OF the DO
nestle troubles leading to suicide come on
Sunday. More than one-fOurth OF the SUI
cides from financial trouble and 1ll-health
among females occur on Monday Ihey APP
parently lack the courage in their weak OF
impoverished condition to take up the
struggle of a new week..
1t may be impossible for any human
agents ever to combat successfully with
the suicide evil, save by the persuasion OF
individuals. But IL ever such a campaign
is waged 1t will be aided by such deduc-
tons. This crime is peculiarly one OF tenn
permanent, developing from secret causeo.
The would-be suicide seldom talks ABOUT
his intention In advance of the deed. Sta
tistics are unfortunately not hand 10
demonstrate what percentage of self-mur'
ders are the result of sudden impulse or OF
long consideration, what come from fancied
wrongs or troubles, and what from the
genuine closing of all ways of ESCAPE from
grief, disgrace or loss. Suicide Is essen
TALLY an act of cowardice, an evasion of re-
sponsibility not to be justified in any cir
cumstances.
The suicide is afraid of physical or mental
pain, of forced loss, change Of circum-
stances, chagrin, disgrace or punishment
It is almost invariably a confession or
failure, failure to measure up to the world 9
standards, failure in business or in love or
in, hao
