Citizens League Meeting.

The first meeting of the Citizens Alliance since
the recent dynamiting trouble was he Id at Elks
hall last Monday night and was the most largely
attended since the inception of the organization
1t was a business meeting in every sense of the
term and every interest in the town was represen-
ted and by citizens who were ready and anxious
to endorse every action of the executive committee
as we'll as to condemn the blowing up of the trans
former house of the Sun and Moon. As soon as
opportunity offered some forty more citizens
applied for membership in the league and upon
the acceptance of their applications the total mem-
bership was brought up to sal. While the floor
was at all time at the disposal of any one who de-
sired to talk on any pertinent topic still there
no effort made to excite ncendiary remarks and
not one word was uttered that could be construed
to be of violent character; the contrary, while
the discussion of one ofthe most atracious crimes
was generally INDUCED in, the speeches were con-
servative and moderation advised. But there
that air of determination that bodies good to
law breakers agitators and those of their ilk.
When it was suggested that the league make
good its promise to reimburse the loss sustained
by the Sun and Moon mine by the destruction of
the transformer house, within less than an hour
over s., 900 was voluntarily pledged for that pur
pose by those in the hall, and there is now enough
money in sight to meet all obligations and have
neat emergency fund to meet all requirements.
The following resolution unanimously adop-
ted by rising vote:
Resolved, That the thanks of this alliance is
due aud hereby rendered to the district attorneys

SEN. THURSTON's
DAUGHTER WEEDS

Jean Mellen Thurston, the seventeen
year-old daughter Of former Senator
John M. Thurston, Commissioner of the
ST. Louis Exposition. eloped on March
16 with Ernest Hall Coolidge, real
estate solicitor of Washington, D. C.
The Coolidges come of an old Boston
family. Young Coolidge had received
permission to escort her to a theater
for matinee performance. The
young couple went to the Teacup Inn
where they were met by mutual friends
and then went to Rockville, Nd, and
were married by the Rev. S. H. White.
The marriage was kept a secret for
week when Senator Thurston received
the news through a reporter. Young
Coolidge met his wife about three years
ago.

y IN AAtWCzN PLAN.

On his first official relation with his
constituents, the Republican Delegate
to Congress, Prince Kuhio. has shown
that breadth of conception of his duty
to the people which his friends have
known and his supporters claimed.
| Having a cadetship at Annapolis the
Delegate has asked the youth of Hawaii
to- come forward and In fair COMPETE
| tion make a trial for the place.
In appreciation of the open proposal,
the young men eligible for this honor
should take advantage Immediately of
the opportunity to win the appointment
to the Naval school. Born within
sight of the ocean, loving 1t as do all
Hawaiians, and skilled in all manner
of seacraft, young men from this, the
newest Territory may look forward to
flying the double starred pennant from
the proudest warship with confidence,
and a knowledge that no American
could better fill the post.
The course of the Delegate cannot be
praised too highly. He is the repre-
sentative of all the people, and he rec
ognizes their portion with a grace
which will hold the affection all now
feel for him. Unlike his predecessor,
he does not place his appointment at
the disposal of a stranger, and give a
place which is sought by the best blood
of the nation to youth from the other
side Of the country who has no ties for
the land nor aloha for the people.
Had the manly American course of
Prince Kuhio been followed by his
predecessor, it would have been a Ha-
waiian youth who is now stepping from
the school room to the ship deck, to
learn the last duties of his position
afloat, and not a Connecticut lad.
The very least that Hawaii's youth
can do under the circumstances is to
show that they appreciate the honor
by striving for it, so that at last when
Hawaii comes to her own, and the first
of line of Hawaiian Naval heroes
enters the academy at Annapolis, we
shall know he is the fittest of all, and
shall look forward to his successes with
confidence.

WORK FOR TOURISTS.

1t is with satisfaction that the people
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
and the Merchants Association has
pushed along its organization so that
it is now ready to take up in earnest
the advertising of Hawaii as the place
for the tourist and the settler alike.
While there has been no heralding of
the work that was being DONE Chair
man Smith has been active in getting
his lines out and now is at the stage
where he can report progress to the
business bodies and ask for the means
to carry on the work.
AS to the success which must follow
the earnest and careful development of
a plan for the making known to the
people of the United States the advan-
tages of the Islands there can be no
doubt. 1t has attended similar enter
prises elsewhere, where the advantages
are not SO marked as here, and it will
follow in our case If there Is given to
energy and thought, support and assist
ance, not by some of the people, but by
all. 1t is no hard task to see how the
success of the plans of the tourist COM
mittee will help every individual and
corporation in the islands. Not alone
will wealthy people be attracted here,
but the inevitable result will be the
coming in of men anxious to make
homes and to assist in the general
building up of the country. They will
furnish the skilled labor. the families
from which will be recruited all
branches of mechanics and industry.
They will furnish the steady yeomanry
of the Territory. and the interests of
all will be conserved by the filing up
of the waste and unpeopled lands with
the Woodworking men of the mainland. |
The tourists who will be attracted,
and there is no question but they will
come, will in time make summer and |
winter homes here and add to the |
wealth of the city and the Islands. .
This is shown by the fact that one
visitor recently bought, through
broker a neat little list of stocks and
that he would be back to
look over his investments. Others now
here are looking into the various es-
tates with the aim of making invest
ments. Every man so interested will

such friends scattered all over the

ton, for there will be men in Congress

lnr PRESIDENTIAL lvuK

The departure OF President Roose-
welt upon tour which will consume
nearly three months, his route lying
through almost every one of the states
and Territories west OF the Mississippi
river, indicates u stage in the acquaint-
ance of the chief executive with the
vast domain over which he has been
called to rule. Some of the hyper
critical may see in the journey nothing
but politics, but this, without doubt,
will be only a small portion of the
accomplishment of the party.
The real extent of the journey may
be Judged from the fact that the Pres
ident Will go Inrougn the Yellowstone
Park and the Yosemite valley, see the
California big trees and the Grand
Canon of the Colorado, the dedication
of the st. Louis Exposition grounds

OF the political side of the journey,
much has been said, and of course
much is expected. One of the allega-
tons is that the prime object of the
Journey Is the selection of running
mate for the Presidential campaign.

SUGAR TRUST INVESTMENT.

What the sugar trust is doing to
keep down opposition is a question
which seems to keep guessing every one
who attempts to follow its movements
There are many figures shown in con-
nection with the business of this aggre-
CATION of capital, but perhaps the most
interesting statement is that in the
last year its investments in the stocks
of other corporations increased by
s6l5S,S9+. That this went into the stock
of beet sugar companies is deemed GER
tain by the San Francisco Chronicle,
and in commenting ON the fact that
journal says:
The way to deal with the sugar
trust is to keep 1t buying beet sugar
factories. So long as the trust is a
certain cash customer, factories will be
built. 1t is sure to be a cash customer

LAW ALL THE TINE.

Mr.. e. P. Dole's supplemental brief
and argument before the Supreme
Court of the United States in the Man
kichi case has been received 1t is an
able paper, remarkably clear, and con-
elusive. 1t is addressed mainly to the
point, that in the Organic Act, Con-
gress did not intend to hang this Ter
ritory up in the air, and leave the ad-
ministration of law in the Territory, in
confusion, or chaos.
Wise lawyers hesitate to prophesy re-
garding the decisions of courts. A
newspaper has no reputation to lose by
guessing at results. The Supreme Court
looks beyond laws, and technical ques-
tons. and makes judgments so as to
preserve order in communities. Though
the constitution made gold and silver
the only coin of the Republic, it de-
cided that paper was legal tender,
because If it had not done so, the peo-
pie would have been thrown into bank
ruptcy.
Where there is no clear law govern
ing a case, this court makes law. 1t
couples with its judicial power, a GER
tain political power, so as to save the
State, and preserve order The Adver-
tiser predicts that the Supreme Court
will declare that the conviction of Man
kich was in due form and correct.

VALUE OF DEPOSIT.

With n series of Insurance bills de
manding attention in the Legislature
the features which they aim to in
troduce into the laws of the Territory
may well be closely scanned before en-
actment. And of all none would seem
to be more useless than that which re-
qures the making of deposit by the
various CORPORATIONS before they are
permitted to do business within the
Territory.
Tbs custom of asking such deposit Is
a recent one. having its origin prin-
cipally in the West and its object in
the desire to secure the investment OF
funds in the real estate or improve
ments of the States and Territories
In Oregon 200 is necessary and in
New Mexico the deposit must be in
vested in the bonds of the Territory
or Of county or city. The object there
is plain, that the money of the corpora
tions shall be used within the COM
monwealth, but it is not apparent that
any other good comes beyond that sim
pie enforcement of investment.
1t Is conceivable that there might
well be demand made on foreign cor
porations where there is no court with
competent jurisdiction in which to en-
ter suit. but where the company is
home organization, with habitat in
the United States, the Federal courts
Offering ample opportunity for suit
against the company to recover any
loss, the making Of a deposit or invest
ment of any amount like that which
the Senate seems to favor, s12. 900, would
be purely an annoyance to the COM
pany and no added security to the in
sured.
In case every state and Territory in
the Union should decide to exact a
deposit 1t will be seen at once that the |
entire capital and reserve of the insur- |
ance companies would be tied up. For |
ty-ive States, with not more than two
or three where the amount of business
does not greatly exceed that done in
Hawaii, three Territories where 1t must
be close to the same total, would absorb
millions of investment and so tie up
the assets of the companies that they
would be In fact insecure. With $1,000
600 of a company's assets as deposits 1t
would be necessary to withdraw from
some States to realize quickly on bonds
to meet calls.
The question of what is the good
comes up and the face of the matter
would seem to show that no possible
good could come from the small deposit
when it is taken into consideration that
some companies which woul1 be called
on to make it have policies in the Ter
ritory to the amount of 100000 and
even of 500, 900.

trust is to get all possible reductions

even the proposed reduction OF 20 per
cent on Cuban sugar, it will be unprofit-
