1t is claimed that one Kimo Palaka
(Hawaiian for Jim Pratt) has been
found out by the Chinese taxpayers
who have votes to cast, and now that
he wants all theSvot he can get, he
having found them out that they in
tend to throw their weight in favor of
the Home Rule candidate, Col. Curtis
Piehu Iaukea, he is "straining at a gnat
to swallow a camel" in his behalf. From
personal observation the outlook seems
to be that he is goner, and if he is
willing to take a fools advice, he may
as we'll, at this time, even, give up the
fight. His opponent is too good and
popular man, and, moreover, cour-
teous gentleman, to be easily defeated
by him.

The schooner Julia Il. Whalen Is an

1t is perfectly natural for English
men to sympathize with Japan in her
pililkia with their old foe, Russia; but
Americans have every reason to feel
the other way. 1t is not England's
love for Japan but her hatred of Rus
sia that dictates her present attitude.
England is not in such position as to
come in competition with Japan ex.
cept in the shipping industry, and that
is offset by large balance of trade.
The United States particularly Ha
waiD is brought into competition with
the Japanese at every turn. They ap,

plej their merchants under-sell our

or and are satisfied with less. In ev-
erything tackled by the Japanese, the
native and the white man is no longer
able to make living. The degrading
social influence of Japan is being felt
in Honolulu, from the kindergarten to
the pulpit. Japanese women are the
principals in lewdness, and their men
are little better. Already they have
pitted their semi-savage religion
against Christianity and it is gaining
considerable headway, 1t is well enough
for an Englishman to take off his hat
and shout for japan; he is merely a
spectator. The Hawaiian and Ameri-
can is an interested party, and would
little prefer that Russia licked the
stufiing out of Japan.

At the political corner yesterday,
Candidate Jack Lucas, in the furry of

taken up with loud cheer. Later on,
Jack withdrew the self-accusation,
saying that it was a slip of the tongue,

The suggestion of the Commercial
Record that the new armory be erect
ed on the site of the present one is the
best We have yet heard. The property
including the present armory and the
old barracks was taken by the United
States Government at time when
the requirements of the army here
were unknown. 1t has since become
clear that a great deal more land than
the Government has any use for was
at that time acquired. Save for a
small matter OF convenience, being
near mercantile centers, the army has
no more use for the drill shed prem
ises than has COW for two tails-and
it never will have. The thing to do is
to lay the matter in it's true light be-
fore President Roosevelt, and it is a
ten-to.one shot that the property will
be returned to the Territory. AS a
site for the new armory the one sug-
gested by the Record cannot be i'm
proved on We heartily kokua the
proposition.

The report of actual war between
Japan and Russia seems to have arisen
from warning from the Japanese
Consulate to the Nippon Maru to be
cautious in proceeding from here to
Yokohama. 1t Is q long reach be.
tween the ports and as war is likely
to occur any day the warning was but
natural The Nippon Maru being an
auxiliary cruiser places her in the
class Of prizes that would be valued
greatly by the Russian Bear.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-10-23

Another military commission is on
its way from Washington to "investi-
gate" site for army barracks. How
long, Oh Lord, how long, will this
thing keep up? One commission fol-
lows the other to Hawaii, the one TO
investigate Pearl Harbor and the other
to investigate sites for army posts.
Report after report has been sent for
ward until it would take an army
wagon to remove them from the Cap
itol building at Washington. And, yet,
there must be some more "investigat-
ing" This whole business is a scheme
to make the people believe that the ad-
ministration is doing something and to
keep them in good humor until after
the Presidential election. If there was
any intention of creating an army post
here or of improving Pearl Harbor
start would have been made long ago.
1t is a safe bet for anybody that if
Roosevelt should happen to be reflect
ed next year nothing further will be
heard of these things until election
time draws around again. 1t is an old
Republican trick, but, strange to say,
1t seems to work. In the meanwhile
Hawaii is being made the victim of a
wicked campaign expedient.

One of the greatest surprises to the

will be the vote of the Kakaako dis
trict, which is divided between the
Fifth and Eighth precincts of the
Fourth district. All of the natives
