We like to read bis pieces, but we sym
pathize with that poor fellow away out
on the mountain at Gage that don't have
anything TO console him, but Bill Dool-
ey's yarns.
Everything has been rocking along
very we'll at this place for som time,
but it is frozen up at the present time,
but ! think it will turn warm in a few
days and then think will 20 to Dun
lap, as my old friend at Gage says the
town is on a boom, and all they lack is
electric cars and lights. And if Dunlap
needs them and decides to have them l
hope that the line will extend to Gage

cake and chicken there.
There has been a wedding expected
at this place for some time as | have

Cooper Employs Japanese at the
Government Nursery.

am not a member Of any labor or
ganization, but feel strongly the i'm
portance of aiding in every possible
way the fight of our citizen working
men against the encroachment of Jap
anese upon their domain. The Repub-
lican party, to which | belong, also
processes TO espouse the cause of the
citizen workingman, and have every
reason to believe that the party heads
are earnest nd uptiring in their efforts
to protect and promote the interests of
our own worknmen.
We have, however. in the Govern
ment a man who is the open enemy of
citizen labor | refer to Henry e.
Cooper, superintendent of public works.
Mr.. Cooper is employing in the Gov
ernment nursery five or six Japanese
in positions that could easily be filled
by whites or natives. He has been APP
preached by a committee of Republi'
cans but has steadfastly refused to dis
miss the Japanese, and seemed to be
indignant that such a request should
have been made of him. No less aper.
sonage than William Henry, the pres
ent head of the party, was one Of the
men to make the petition and he was
turned away without satisfaction, In
dealing with the matter in this way
Cooper has deliberately slapped the
citizen laboring men in the face and
gone back on one of the principal aims
of the Republican party. 1t seems to
me to be getting about time that he
should be shown up and properly, too.
Another thing about Cooper is that
he is working hand and glove with the
Home Rulers in the hope of getting

Everybody should have confidence
in the political advice of Mr.. James G.
Quinn. A born Democrat, he started
out here as Democrat and spent his
time in early Territorial days in criti.
cizing both the Home Rule and Repub-

ed Home Ruler, was put on the ticket
for the House of Representatives and
gave over a month of his time to
abuse of the Republican party and
everything Republican. Most Hawaii
an voters of the Fourth District will
remember how he used to rip the Re-
publicans and missionaries up the
back, and how earnestly he advised
them to have nothing to do with their
oppressors. But q change has come
Last night Quinn made about as good
a Republican speech as were his Home

told the Hawaiians of Kakaako to dc
just what he told them not to do three
years ago.

There is another argument in favor
of Government ownership of the lines
of the Rapid Transit Company. Under
the franchise Of the corporation the
Government and public realize nothing
from the concern, save in the way Of
taxes on the rolling stock. There is a
proviso that all profits over and above
eight per cent. shall be divided equally
between the company and the Govern
ment, but there will be Snowy slopes

expected from that source. With the
Government as the absolute owner of
the system the profits would fall nat
urally back to the people. 1t may be

The Supreme Court has adjourned to

too late to dispose of the county gov.

higher court and one judge of the Cir

why the more important case, involv-

should not be put through in the same

simply to say that he has not yet made

can be said on the shady side, but
rather than rake up old scores, we
would rather let such a record smoul-

We think the Hawaiian bonds could

great deal less than 1-2 per cent. The
United States gets all the money 1t
wants for three and two per cent. Ha-
waiian bonds are backed by the Unit
ed States and as such ars just as
good security as straight American
bonds. Had the matter been presented
squarely in its real light to the invest
ors OF New York it is safe to say that
the money could have been obtained
for three per cent.
