The property owners are at
this time in no position to stand
a sudden raise in taxation, which
will necessarily follow the chop
ping off a big revenue.
Last but not least is it not APP
parent that the present move,
while it is being prosecuted by
moral persons Influenced by
most sincere motives, is yet fos-
tered by men who have no no
tion but one purely political who
are sacrificing the property own
ers and business men Of the com
munity to satisfy some petty
political am bition Of their own.
Bear in mind that a closing up
of Bemidji at this time of the
year, just before the breaking up
of the logging season, means that

find it's dumping ground else

COMMUNICATED

Mr.. Editor: am pleased to-
see that some of the good citizens
of Bemidji are beginning to
awaken to realization of their
responsibility as to the present
moral condition of our city.
Travel where you may through
out the country from New York
to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and tell
the people you are from Bemidji
and the answer is "What, can
you live in that shadow Of the
twentieth century?' Sad, but
that it is, that such an opinion
has gone out over the country.
Tt is high time for us to try
and redeem!ourselves high time
for US to pass out OF our babvhood
and become the city which nature
intended we should.
G Bemidji is destined to become
one of the finest cities III the
northwest providing the honest
citizens stand for purity and
truth. The present condition OF
things shall continue just as long
as the people slumb Der and sleep
and as they sleep the moral can
cer-planters of the twentieth cen
fury will destroy the purity and
virtue Of our young.
Men of money. and enterprise
will not come here SO long as the
gambling den and houses of pros
titution rule our city.
Upon the right disposition Of
this important subject depends
the future peace and prosperity
Of our city. Let every man and
woman who cares for the culture
and pure training Of the youth
attend the mass meeting in the
city hall tomorrow nighU. Let
US show to our honorable mayor
and city council that we are
ready to stand by them in an
effort to improve the present con
dition of things.

ton. The present Governor Of the
Territory says SO. The Superintend.
ent OF Public Works says so. The Ha.
waiian Delegate says so. And to this
day the committee has received no
protest, after diligent inquiry, using
all means at hand-the Act was passed
in April last--no protest, no word Of
dissent from the island; and there are
only 1000 white voters on that island.
and they are the users OF this current,
and there must be alert business men
among them.
Mr.. Payne: That may all be, but
possibly the citizens do not know that
we desire to know their wishes on
this question. The Delegate of the
Hawaiian Islands is here introducing
this BILL asking to have the Congress
OF the United States approve this act.
II may be that the citizens Of Homo

to have the act approved.
Light or the Bill.
Mr. Robinson Of Indiana: I am sor-
ry that the gentleman from Hawaii Is
not here to defend his bill. but We
must do the best we can in his absence
and we will try to give the gentlemen
Of the House all the light we can.
The bill was introduced In the Ha.

February, 1908. In the bill first intro.

his report to the Secretary of the lnte-
rior for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1903, en- page so, refers fully to the
Hawaiian bill, giving length OF time
and prices. He asks Congress to ap.
prove, as does the Superintendent of
Public Works and all the constituted
officers and authorities from whom the
House has heard. For the last eight
months the people there must have
known, through these proceedings and
the press-the business men must have
known-that the measure would be
presented to Congress for approval.

Whole proposition OF Hawaiian legisla-

ton of conflict OF opinion on this sub

whether the entire press of the city OF
Honolulu did not. during the discus.
sion of the bill, oppose granting so

Mr.. Robinson of Indiana: ! do not

on anything. there is such fierce oppo.
sitiOn. There are only two or three
papers in Honolulu.

refers to. Is In contradiction TO that
particular portion.
Mr.. Payne: II says that the citi.
zens Of Honolulu were opposed to the
granting Of anything more than ten.
year franchise.
Mr.. Robinson of Indiana: The state.
ment was made, but II IL contradicted
and is disputed In all the context pro-
ceding and following.
Mr.. Payne: Why. the gentleman
does not mean to say there is anything
in the report that contradicts the fact
that the citizens OF Honolulu are op.
posed to anything beyond the granting
Of q ten years charter?
Mr.. Robinson Of Indiana: Oh, yes:
the report Of three pages favors the
