INDIE PENDENT JOURNALISM.

One of the strongest papers in the
United States is the Brooklyn Eagle.
1t is practically the only local paper
read in a city of 100000 people and as
long as decade ago it paid ten per
cent on a. capitalization of million
ard a half of dollars. Though Demo-
cratic in its local Ieanings it has been
at variance for forty years with the
corrupt local Democratic organization
and it never supports an unworthy
cause or candidate Dozens of organs
have arisen in Brooklyn to dispute its
primacy and none of them have made
a living There are hundred instances
ali over the United States of organic
failures to one of independent failure
in the field of journalism: and there is
at least one of a notable sort in the
annals of this city.
Four years ago the Advertiser OBJ
Jected TO the course of the local Re-
publican machine. which was directed
with the purpose of building up an
anti-Doie party and enthroning the
carpet baggers and ex-Royalists. This
paper made all the fight that was in it
and it won at every point, a circum-
stance which showed that here no less
than on the mainland the independent
Journal is the one the people stand by.
one incident of the fight was the estab-
lishment of a simon pure organ, the
Honolulu Republican, a well-edited and
newsy journal of the day but SO de-
tested because of its policy that it
could only live by spending $500 per
month more than it earned, and it
died unregretted by it's owner as web
as by the general public.
Popular sentiment, which manifested
itself sos strongly four years ago in
favor of an independent press has not
changed since. Indeed the record of
Legislatures and the conduct of the
machine has emphasized and strength
ened the feeling that the safety of Ha-
waii from its most dangerous elements
depends upon. the vigilance and eour-
age of the unfettered citizen and the
Engaged newspaper What can be
more significant of the prevailing spirit
OF the town that the two Engaged
papers are the ones that lead and have
the greater prosperity. Plainly the re-
sponsible public of Hawaii, as a class.
stands precisely where the Advertiser |
and Star have stood ever since parties
were organized here-for honest men
and good government as the first con-

The election to the Senate of Messrs.
Bishop, Lane and Dowsett is demanded
by every sound political precept. They
are men who will not steal nor give
their votes to bad measures and such
men Hawaii has abundant use for. In
the old monarchical days the Upper
House, to which only men of substance
were admitted, was the safeguard of
the Treasury, and it is within the
power of the respectable voters to
make it so again. The election of Bis
hop, Lane and Dowsett becomes, in this
light, a high public duty.

This indicates a Is per cent increase
In the production Of Para rubber in
five years, which would hardly be
sufficient to supply the demand from
the rubber boot and shoe manufac-
turing companies alone Within this
time, however, there has been a great
development in automobiles and cleo
trio appliances as well as increased
production of betting and hose, rubber
clothing, mechanical goods, and all
other varied lines of products from
rubber. This tells the story of s1.2s
crude.
The course of the crude rubber mar
ket for the past 10 years shows a
steady upward movement from 66c in
1894 to s1.1G in 1900. 1t was in 1900 that
the Flint rubber difficulties arose.
whereby banking interests were
Obliged to take over vast quantities of
crude rubber back of loans and in the
marketing of this rubber the price fell
of to zoe in July, 1902. Since that
the movement has been steadily

KAUlUKoU IS EXHIBIT A."

In Mr.. Cecil Browns manifesto to
voters, announcing that he was going
TO run for Senator anyhow, notwith-
standing his failure to secure a nom
ination at the hands of the Republican
convention, to whom he had volun-
tarily submitted himself. he says:
Il claim that an understandable in
reference by certain officers of the
Executive Department of the Territory
caused my defeat in that convention,
and that these persons used their offices
DIRECTLY AND COERCIvELY in
the Convention. PARTICULARLY
AMONG THE OFFICE HOLDING
DELEGATES, TO COMPEL A VOTE
AGAINST ME- REGARDLESS OF THE
{ PERSONAL CONVICTIONS OF THE
DELEGATES AND THE WISHES OF
THEIR CONSTITUENTS"
The Advertiser, being searcher for
truth, asked for specifications and proof
Of this charge. Who was intimidated?
Who did the intimidating? What did
the intimidation consist of? In re-
Spouse, Attorney J. L. Kaulukou SUBJ
mits himself as exhibit IA of the re-
Quested specifications and proof, as APP
pears in his communication published
herewith.
Mr.. Kaulukou appears to have mis-
taken both the charge made by Mr..
Brown and the request of the Adver-
tiser.
He says he was NOT coerced. He
says that when the Attorney General
fixed his eagle eye upon him and said
that Brown was opposed to Governor
Carter, he, Kaulukou. quailed not. but
proceeded forthwith to support Brown
and work for him anyhow
Brown has not. bolted the party be-
cause certain members of the conven-
ton were NOT coerced, but because of
those who WERE coerced.
The Advertiser is not seeking for
delegates who voted Independently. but
for those who were compelled to vote
against Brown regardless of personal
convictions
Mr.. Kaulukou has gone off on cross
are good by saying: 81 certainly under
stood Andrews talk to mean that if 1
expected or wanted anything of the
administration that I had better turn
against Brown
He quotes all that Mr.. Andrews said,
and the words used are as capable of
the Interpretation placed thereon by Mr..
KauIukou, as if Mr.. Andrews had asked
him to go to Hobron's and get a glass
of ice cream soda, and Kaulukou had
drawn the inference therefrom that he
had received an invitation to go to
Cunha's and have a gin fzz.
Mr. KauIukou's specification does not
specify and his proof does not prove.
We now await Exhibit b.

Mr.. Robertson was more ingenious
than ingenious when he made his
rail-splitter and canal-driver compari-
sons. The Republicans never nomin-
ated either a rail-splitter or canal
driver for President, but men who had
raised themselves from such lowly oc-
equations to the plane of statesman
ship. AS rail-splitters and canaI-driv-
ers Lincoln and Garfield never attract
ed the nominating spirit of a village
caucus.
