Commercial Conquest.
But while we have thus gained great
moral victory, we have also made a COM
merciaT conquest far-reaching and extern

neld OF future commercial expansion lies
in the Orient with it's teeming millions
awakening to a new life. England has
for years been reaching out for this trade
and commerce. and to aid her IN the task

trade and as coaling and relay stations

tries. BY the acquisition of the Philip
pines, with its area of $4,000 square

doorstep of the Orient. Not only have
our Pacific ports an advantage over Eu-
rope in the matter of distance, but this
advantage will also accrue to our Atlantic
and Gulf ports by the construction of the
Panama canal, the right to construct
which was secured by the energy and
foresight of our vigilant and active presi-
dent in the face of Democratic criticism
and Democratic obstruction

to furnish us an ever-growing and eX-

lied in a state of peonage, landless, and
little, if any, better than serfs. What
little of government they enjoyed was
given them through the church. If that
proved oppressive and they endeavored to

roads. After a hard fight the bill pro-

the legislature. In my biennial report to
the legislature of 1901 the recommended

the bill passed both branches, was APP

suing election of 1902. Through failure
of a majority of those voting at the cleo

providing for an increase in the taxes
maid by railroads is in the nature of a
CONSTITUTIONAL amendment. and it requires
a majority of all the votes cast at the
election to carry it. Again, in my bien-
NAL report to the legislature of 1903 I
recommended that the bill be re-enacted
and once more submitted to the people
for approval or rejection at the polls.
The question will be voted upon again
next November, and I sincerely hope that
the voters will ratify the action of tho
legislature. The increase, equivalent to
33 1-3 per cent of the present taxes paid
by the railroad companies, means that
the other taxpayers of the state will be
relieved of the burdens of taxation to
the extent of 100000 annually, and no in

COWBOY SEATED
IN NATIONAL CONGRESS

Eben Low of Hawaii. who returned
on the Korea from long visit on the
mainland, accompanied by Mrs. Low,
had a seat in the House of Represent
atives while in Washington. 1t was
while a session of that body was in
progress, but was held only during
recess.
! He was escorted about the Capitol
by Prince Cupid and given a special
seat in the gallery. When a short
recess was declared Cupid sought Mr..
Low and took him upon the floor of
the House, and, giving him seat next
his own, told him to make himself
comfortable.
II hadn't any idea when I left Ha-
waii that I would occupy SO prominent
a position said Mr.. Low, laughingly.
but my being congressman was
short-lived.
THAT episode which was alleged to
have taken place in a Columbus, Ohio,
theater. wherein the dispatches said
that Prince and Princess Kalanianaole
had been elected from their box, was
incorrect The Prince and Princess
are my personal friends and I took the
trouble to ascertain the facts. They
attended the theater and had a box.
The manager ascertained who his pa
iron was. and having known King Ka-
lakaua he was DESTROYS of meeting the
Prince. During an intermission, he
sent word to the box asking if he
might not have the pleasure of meet
ing and talking with Cupid. The
and they talked of old times, especially
with regard to the king. The Princess
remained in the box all the time. There
was no unpIeasantness.
MY meeting with President Roose-
welt was somewhat novel. We had
just arrived in Washington and had
taken apartments at the New Willard
Hotel. Mr.. Hayward met US and we
all went out for a walk. We went
around by the White House, and then
over to the Army and Navy building
I was attired then in my travelling
suit. Mr.. Hayward suggested going
over to the Presidents office and MAX
ing an engagement with his private
secretary for an audience. I had
Governor Dole's and Secretary Carters
letters of introduction in my pocket
So we went into the offices and my
letters were sent in. Mr.. Haywood had
told ME that the President was then
quite busy and was seeing but few
people.
"One of the letters introduced me to
the President, as the Toughest cow
boy on Hawaii I guess that caught
the Presidents fancy, for about
minute later the door opened quickly
and out came President Roosevelt
himself. Mr.. Haywood introduced
Mrs. Low, but without waiting for an
introduction to me he came and shook
hands cordially. We chatted about
the Islands in general and he said
that he would be glad Of an oppor-
tunity to come here and enjoy a season
Of hunting.
II attended the convention OF the

live stock matters in the Islands. Yes.

members seemed to take a great inter

MARSH FIELD. LARGEST TAX
PAYER, ASSESSED S468.24O THIS YEAR

Chicago. Aug 26.-Marshall Field
the merchant prince, pays more money
in taxes than any other person in the
United States. Every year he con
tributes nearly one-half a million dol
lars in cold cash to the various tax
funds in the county and city.
The amount he viii pay this year
is $i6S, ,240. The board of review has
fixed the value of his Chicago holdings
at $40. 900, 900. OF this enormous sum
10000. 900 represents real estate and
the remainder is the value that has
been placed on his personal property
No mention of his holdings that are
not taxable is made.
These interesting facts were made
public yesterday, when James Simp-
son, tax agent for the prominent mer-
chant. appeared before the reviewing
body and requested that it reduce the
assessment of 81, 500 900 placed on
Mr.. Fields personal property to an
even s., ,0O00 900. The reduction was
ordered. The other $S,O00,O0O worth of
personal property belongs to the firm
of Marshall Field & Co.
Next year, it is said he will pay
taxes on another million dollars worth

GERMAN ATHLETES ARRIVE
Come at Invitation of Roosevelt to
Show How Duel is Fought.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 2G.-It is authori-
tatively denied here today that the
German student duelists who arrived
in New York yesterday enroute to the
st. Louis exposition, came to this coun-
try either by invitation or at the in
stance of President Roosevelt, as has
been announced. The president has
had no intention of witnessing the eX-
hibition of "baukerei,' or student duel.
New York, Aug. 26.-Representative
athletes from Germany have arrived
on the steamship Deutschland. enroute
to st. Louis where they will compete
in the Olympic games beginning next
Monday. DR.. Willibald Gebhardt is
manager of the delegation which in
cludes four members of the student
corps "Germania,' of Dresden, Sax.
Ony.
These students were invited to come
by President Roosevelt for the purpose
of showing how duels are fought at
German universities, and will go to
Washington first to give an exhibition
of a ''paukerei,' as a students duel
with rapiers is called, before the pres
ident at whose suggestion the stu
dents duels were added to the pro-
gram of the games.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-08-26

The good effect of Mr.. Bryan's
statement is already apparent. Many
have announced their intention to sup
port the ticket who before were in
despair. They see now where they
can support the ticket and still con-
tinue the fight for economic reform; !;
they see that the election of Judge
Parker will remove imperialism, mil
itarism and the race question and clear
the way for a fight on economic ques-
tions.
Neither is the pOpulist criticism
valid. 1t is more important that re-
forms shall come through any partic-
ular party. The total populist vote
is small compared with the number
of democrats who desire reform. Mr.
Bryan can do the cause of reform
more good by helping these democrats
to control the democratic party than
he could by joining the populists.
IF Judge Parker carries out the
democratic platform We shall make
progress during his administration; if
he refuses TO carry out the platform
he will make il easier for the reform
element to regain control of the organ
iZation."
