SAY THE PARTY "FILCHES AND
STEALS

"How we apples do swim" when
we are in congenial waters is aptly
told by the "nunc pro tune" perform
ances of folks who is this year of grace
1904 are "whooping her up for Roose-
welt.
Here, for instance is Butler, the one
named Marion, who has by the flip
flop route landed square in the Re
publican camp, and is cheek by jowl
with Booker Us good friend Roose-
Welt. In 1896 following the Republic
can State Convention the Caucasian,
Buffers paper, had the following:
1.-The Republicans have been 'whoop-
ing her up for honest elections; nave
been crying out for an honest ballot
and a fair count, and yet the first thing
they did in their convention was to
begin to fitch and steal votes from
among themselves. Lord denver us
from any such honest ballot and falr
count system as this.
Now, wouldn't it be a pretty sigh
to hear the explanation of these re-
marks given by the Van Dyke ex-Pop-
ulist from North Carolina to the
Rough Rider and Big Stick holder in
the White House. Republicans "filch
and steal votes would hardly be pleas
ant reading to The Strenuous, but it
is so nevertheless.
And here is some more things about
the Republican party. from authority
close at home. Frank d. Jones, of
Gulf, the Chairman of the Republic
can Congressional committee of this
district who has lately been taking
part in the game of blind mans buff
in which aspiring Republicans in this
district have performed ridiculously
in seeking the Republican empty
nomination against Congressman e..
w. Pou, has also gone on the wit
ness stand against his own party. In
1896 he wrote, and what he said was
published in the Chatham Record, as
follows:
1.-The Republican party has always
charged the Democratic party with be-
ing the party of fraud, corruption, ball
lot-box stuffing, &C., and yet l ven
ture to say that the Democratic par
ty, in it's worse days, never was guilty
of such corruption, vote stealing and
fraud as were the Russellites in that
convention, on Friday last
And these be the records in the
case as against men who are now
charging the Democratic party with
any old charge they find lying loose.
But the Republican, being "filchers
and stealers' as charged by their own
men are apt to try their own meas
ure on other folks. 1t don't fit De-
mOcracy.

against the growing habit of clubbing

positively grating upon the ear of a

Ought to Sit Up Straight.

Wilmington Star.
The Raleigh News and Observer is
after getting all the tobacco growers
in North Carolina to pulling" for the
Japs. Not only have the Japanese
got the Russian Bear on the run but
here comes our Raleigh contemporary
with a statement which will cause the
American tobacco trust to sit up
straight. 1t is good news that The
News and Observer furnishes to the
effect that Japan is to be a competitor
in buying North Carolina bright to-
bacco. If it is true, and our esteemed
contemporary editorially vouches for
it, it will mean much to the tobacco
growers in this State. Says the News
and Observer of yesterday: Here
follows the editorial in this paper rel
alive to the NATTER
Wilmington built her first tobacco
warehouse last year, but the first sea-
son seemed to sufficiently amuse tho
stockholders. The low price of tobac-
co last year caused the Stockholders
in the warehouse enterprise to lose
money, and not only did they find dis
appointment in the venture, but those
farmers who were encouraged to make
their first venture at tobacco raising
in this section were diSheartened by
the poor returns. Last year was not
good crop year, the crop WtiS Siloi /
the quality was poor and the prices
were still poorer. The result was that
this season very little tobacco has been
planted hereaboutS, but more'S tho
pity for the farmers because this haa
been a tobacco year, the quality OF
the product is good, ana prices are
remunerative.
You could not loose the Wilmington
Tabocco Warehouse Company, how
ever. for in both the commodioua
warehouse and also in the adjoining
stemmery a big box factory is being
operated with a vim that indicates q
flourishing industry has taken the
place of a losing tobacco venture.

Oil and Gas Development.

The discovery of oil deposits is becoming an everyda
occurrence in eastern Oklahoma and Indian Territory
these days Indeed it is impossible to pick up news
paper without reading of a oil gas well and the
rapdity with which development work is going forward
Throughout this section the derrcks are becoming as
thick as the leaves Of Vaambos and the product there
OF is attracting the attention of the world
The oil and gas belt seems to include practically the
whole of Indian Territory and skirts the eastern edge
Oklahoma. 1t may include all of Oklahoma but that
fact has not been demonstrated yet Development work
is being pushed however all sections OF eastern and
southern Oklahoma and the full extent of the field will
not be known until the result is ascertained
Oil and gas have been developed in exhaustibe ouan
Titles in half dozen places in northern eastern
and southern Oklahoma and prospect work is going
ward in many places with splendid chances of success
The field is more fully developed in Indian Territory
where Bartlesve ID Fork, Muskogee Tulsa, OkInul-
gee and other points producing both gas and oil in
extensive quantities Here oil or gas well is produced
practically every time the drill is sunk
The production Of oil and gas has become so extensive
in Indian Territory that it begins to look like the day
not far distant when this will be its leading industry
The same may be true of Oklahoma in the light of the
discoveries already made though it is not so apparent
here as in Indian Territory Enough has not been dem
onstrated however to make it reasonably certain that
all OF eastern Oklahoma is in the oil and gas belt and
that the immediate futnre will see the day when all
towns and cities will have the cheapest and best fuel OBJ
-ainable at their command by sinking sufficient num-
Der OF wells With the development of the oil and gas
wells and the solution of the cheap fuel problem it re-

LOCAL BELL BOY
HEIR TO FORTUNE

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7.-R. F.
Johnson, Mayor of Monterey, and his
wife were purged of contempt by the
Supreme Court yesterday in the matter
of the disappearance of Leo ]. Christal
The temporary writ of habeas corpus
secured by DR.. ]. F. Christal, the boys
father, was dismissed.
Leo Christal left his fathers home
in Santa Cruz last February and went
to visit his uncle, Mayor Johnson, at
Monterey. Subsequently he left Mon
terey and went to Honolulu, where he
has since been living with his sister.
The father claimed that the Johnsons
had practically abducted his son and
sought the aid of the courts to have
his child restored to him.
1t was alleged that the uncle, antici-
corpus, had caused the boy to flee to
Honolulu. 1t was alleged on the other
side that the boy left home of his own
accord because of dislike for his
father. Johnson and his wife were
cited for contempt of the Supreme
Court early in June, 1908.
The dismissal was signed by all OF
the Justices with the exception of
Chief Justice Beatty.
SANTA CRUZ. Jan. Cleo Christal

lulu recently as an attache of the San

weeks employed as bell boy in a Homo

and his sister, Anita Chrstal, are heirs
to 100000 left by their grandfather. A
big sensation was caused a few months
ago, when the boy was supposed to
have been spirited away from his
father and shipped on schooner to
Honolulu.

OLD ShERIFFS
ARE RECALLED

Acting under instructions from Sec
rotary Atkinson, High Sheriff Brown
yesterday afternoon sent wireless mes
sages to all the former sheriffs and dep
uty sheriffs in Office before the County
Act displaced them, instructing them to
again take over their offices and re-
port to him as before.
Governor Garter gave orders, shortly
after the Supreme Court decision was
filed, for High Sheriff Brown to assume
his former powers, taking charge of all
Territorial and county" prisoners, and
reappointing deputy sheriffs. The mat
ter was brought up at a conference OF
Governor Carter and Secretary Atkin-
son with United States District Attor-
ney Breckons, w. o. Smith and l.. A.
Thurston. 1t was decided by the Gov
ernor that the Territory must imme-
diately assume jurisdiction in all police
matters, involving the proper guarding
of prisoners, so as to prevent Jail de-
liveries.

THE COMING
BIG CALLER
Best Advantage Will Be
Taken of Secretary
Taft's Visit.

The opportunity of bringing Hawaii
into closer touch with the Federal ad-
ministration, through one OF the high
est executive channels incidentally
coming in contact with the Territorial
soil, which offers in the approaching
visit of the new Secretary of War is
fully appreciated by Governor Carter.
Secretary Taft, on arrival in the
steamer Korea on Saturday, will be
welcomed with serenade by the Ter
ritorial band conducted by Captain
Berger. AS already reported the Gov
ernor has advanced an invitation to the
retiring Governor of the Philippines,
as an old friend as well as a brother
official. to be his home table guest when
he arrives.
In the limited time at disposal, 1t can
hardly be expected that Secretary Taft
can look into much, specially, beyond
the military interests of the Federal
Government here. Yet so trained an
observer will no doubt take in great
deal, as it were, at glance pertain
ing to the great commercial POSSIBLE
ties of Honolulu and what they require
of Federal aid for their proper develop
ment
1t is possible that secretary Iatt VIII
be approached on the subject-a while
ago very live but latterly somewhat
dormant under the retrenchment blan-
ket-of having a company of the Ha-
waiian National Guard sent to the st.
Louis Exposition. If preached to the
Secretary of War elect, it will be with
the idea of having the expedition car
ried out at Federal expense. Some
thing may also be said about the re-
conveyance, for agricultural purposes,
of the unused $4,000 acre reservation
adjoining Wahiawa.
