THE MORMON COUP.

The fact that a few score degene-
rates in Utah are still providing
harems for themselves pursuant to
divine revelation is evident of moral
liberation of one sort. The fact
that the leading officials of the
Mormon church, openly defy the
terms of their own compact with
Congress, under which Utah gained
statehood, is evidence Of a depravity
of public morals in that state which
may Or may not be the logical out
growth of infamous private standards
and an infamous church creed.
Senator Smoot and Apostle Snoot
might double UP i'll their domestic
multiplicities ad infinitum, and
while the public might have feelings
about their conduct there should be
no general alarm. Hope for the
public safety would lie in the belief
that the Shoots and Shoots would
wind up in insane asylums and
houses ofSorrection.
But when a church steals state
hood for. a great commonwealth
like Utah by dealing falsely and
deceitfully with the Congress it be,
comes a pariah among institutions.
Smoot and Snoot in the United
States Senate confess to having VIC
lated the compact under which Utah
gained a right to a representation
in the Senate. The entire Snoot
outfit chuckles that through the
chicane of polygamous priests they
are immune from the penalties Of
the Edmunds Act. The scarlet
woman from the Great Salt Lake
tweaks the nose of Uncle Sam.

BECALMED.

MORE than a month has passed
since Governor Carter came here
and aroused a big wave of hopeful
enthusiasm that followed him en-
tirely round this Island. The Gov
ernor returned to Honolulu and be-
came at once %engrossed with prob
lens so urgent that his plans to
tour the other Islands were post
poned. 1t IS not expected that the
new administration will perform
miracles or perform superhuman
prodigies. But the public had its
expectations keyed to the highest
notch by the utterances of the head
of the administration. 1t will be a
grievous setback if these expecta-
tons prove groundless.
The people were led to expect
great energy and despatch in the
performance of the work provided

TOBACCO IN HAMAKUA.
Experiments by Government are
Promising SO far.

The experiment with tobacco
growing being carried on under the
auspices of the Hawaii Experiment
Station upon the Louisson coffee
estate in Hamakua has reached the
interesting stage, although it has
not progressed far enough to war
rant definite predictions of final re-
suits.
Mr.. A. L. Louisson is in the city
this week and concerning the to-
bacco experiment, he says: "The
young tobacco plants in the govern
ment nursery at our place are ex-
ceedingly healthy and vigorous
There have been four varieties
planted to-wit: Sumatra wrapper,
Caban filler, Spanish thinner and
Kentuckey Burnley. The Sumatra
wrapper will be grown under
cover" Mr.. Louisson has friends
OH the coast heavily interested i'll
the tobacco business. These people
are following these experiments in
Hawaii very closely. They state
that should this tobacco turn out to
be a grade Of fine quality and com
mand the best prices, they are will,
ing to 60 extensively into raising
Hawaiian tobacco.
The Louissons are now harvest
ing their coffee crop, Concerning
coffee Mr., Louisson says: Coffee:
this year are at the same low figure
that ruled a year ago. The recent
furry in Brazilian c%offees did no.
have the effect on the market fol
mild grades that was anticipated
However, Hawaiian coffees are
gradually growing in favor on the
Pacific Coast and | believe that al
association of coffee men could ma.
terially extend the markets for oul
coffee in the United States"

CONVENTION AND PRIMARIES

Hilo gets the Territorial conven-
ton. It meets April al The pri-
maries to select delegates to the
Territorial convention will be held
April 9. All Republicans and those.
who desire to affiliate with the Re-
publican party are invited o'take
part in selecting the delegates.
The delegates to be chosen at the
Hilo convention will of course be a
Roosevelt delegation. Six Republi-
cans could hardly be found in Ha-
waii who would need to be in
structed on this point. The six
delegates will also have the naming
of the next member of the Republi-
can National Committee for this
Territory. During the past foul
years Hon. Samuel Parker has filled
this office with credit to himself and
to the Hawaiian people. He has Q
strong following who would like tc
see him hold the position for another
four years and it is doubtful if any
delegation chosen, can find a bettei
man to represent Hawaii in thu
national working councils of thu
Republican party.
