The pownaI Affair,

"It is difficult for an outsider to cor
rectly judge concerning the situation in
Pownal. 1t looks as if the town was
under the power of gang of men who
had taken the law into their own hands
says the Barre Daily Telegram. Doubt
less they have much provocation. The
state of mortals is evidently low, and the
practice of decency lower than should
be the case.
"This state of affairs has doubtless
been a long time eliminating. Certain
people may have defiled the canons of
decency and the laws of God and man
with increasing hagrancy, until it
seemed as if the forbearance had ceased
to be a virtue. Good people had
privately bewailed the situation, careless
folks had openly denounced it. No one
wanted to do anything, few knew what
should be tried, everybody thought
something ought to be done.
cat this juncture certain spirits more
bold than others propose white cap
methods. The idea spreads and people,
ordinarily law abiding and peaceful, are
caught up in the swirl and carried on as
by a common impulse.
"No one interposes and no one seri-
ously objects, so the fire once kindled
grows hot with constantly added fuel.
Three successive visits are made by
white cappers and no effort put forth to
apprehend them and bring them to the
bar of justice.
Admittedly, the problem is perplex-
ing. Here is community where there
is plenty of moral proof, but little Of
legal evidence, of state of affairs that
constitute a stencil in the sight OF
heaven and an offense in the sight OF
men. What shall be done?
"The white cappers say that a resort tC
lynch law is the only real remedy.
That the provocation is great must be
conceded. But one crime never war
rants another. The acts of the whit,
cappers instead of producing in Powna
respect for the law breed defiance of al
authority. The results of the prevalence,
of lynch law in Pownal will be felt for
generation. Beyond this, it has givel
} the town black eye in the state. WhC
, wants to move there or make an invest
ment in real estate:
1.-The better way, albeit the slower
would have been to agitate, in seasol
and out, for higher state of morals, t.
have interviewed the parties and showed
them plainly and forcibly how their act
We're regarded by the public; to hav
diligently sought for legal proof of Grim
, and used all the proof secured. and t
have held up before the young on al
possible occasions the fact that the bes
people of the place frowned on all in
decencies, and that such lapses iron
/ morality sooner or later brought HON
: upon the perpetrators the reward of evi
doing"

The Boston Herald, that conceited and
self-constituted authority ON statesman
ship and Boston culture in a recent
attack upon Senator Lodge, has gone out
of its way in an attempt to slur the
senators of Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont. 1t said:
IF, instead of Mr.. Lodge, we had as
our junior senator either one of the two
senators from Maine, New Hampshire
or Vermont, it would be recognized that
no pretensions had been made in the
direction of intellectual culture or liter
airy merit: that the man thus chosen
was practical politician, with all that
that term implied, and was not formed
of the material out of which great states
men are or can be constructed. y
One would just as soon expect the
affirmation of broad, because conIpre-
hensive and statesmanlike, policy from
Senator Dillingham; of Vermont or Sen
atOr Gallinger of New Hampshire as
from the junior senator from Massa-
chusetts."
The people of Vermont will not think
the less of their senators, whose states
manship is engraven in the history of
the nation, and whose work will be
remembered long after the very name of
the Boston newspaper has been for
gotten.

SOME
OBJECTIONS
AN SEVERED

Have "already enough property TO
provide for your family in case Of your
death ?" But l need not tell "you"
that PRESENT possession does not
necessarily mean PERMANENT
possession. Moreover, loss of prop
erty too often comes hand in hand
with failing health and increasing age,
when life insurance can no longer be
obtained. In any event, however
great ones wealth may De, ready
money is needed in settling an estate
to save other property from sacrifice.
A life insurance policy is cash in bank.
"Not ready yet?" That's because
you are just now in robust health with
every promise of long life. If you
knew that, at some time within a year
the exact date alone being uncer-
tain-you would be uninsurable, you
would be ready for policy Immediately,
and would want US to rush things.
Well, there are just two things that you
do actually know:
a. You know, or think you do,
that you are insurable now.
b. You know, without doubt, that
sooner or later you will be Uninsurable,
how soon you cannot tell.
The LOGIC of it is, insure now
while you can, do not guess at the
future, or trust to chance, but act on
certainties.
"Income not sufficient" to support
your family and pay life insurance
premiums also? How, then, would
the family live were that income to be
cut off altogether by your death?
Don't want to leave your wife "a lot
of money SO that she can get married
again and spend it on some other
fellow" Ell? Well, now, l don't think
she will be inclined to marry again.
Poverty and want, however, may drive
her to adopt even this undesirable
expedient.
If you don't wish that to happen,
leave sufficient life insurance to provide
for her in comfort, and the matrimo-
NAL lottery will not tempt her a second
time.

Vermont is fast becoming a manufac
turing State. The St. Adams Furniture
factory has just completed the loading
of a shipment of interior decorations and
pews for the chapel at VasSar College at
Poughkeepsie, n. y. The interior of
the chapel is to be finished in fumed
oak and the wood work is claimed to be
the finest,work of its kind ever shipped
from the State. 1t is on the little fac
tories that are sprlnging up all over the
State that its future prosperity depends.
AS "A farming State Vermont cannot
expect to compete with the great West,
but when her countless water powers,
now running to waste, are utilized in
manufacturing the products OF her
mines, quarrles and forests, she can
compete and grow with the most pro
gressive of her sister States.

Talk of hustle and pluck, the North
field News prints an editorial that shows
the quality of Vermont women. 1t says
There never was better bit of business
pluck and enterprise exhibited in the
state than was displayed as IA result of
Northfield's big fire last week. Miss Min
ME +. Smith, IA leading local milliner for "A
number of years, was aroused by the
alarm of fire at midnight Monday and
reached the scene of the contlagratiOn to
find her store building and stock of
goods totally enveloped in flames;
nothing could be saved and even her
account books We're destroyed. Before
Miss Smith again retired to rest after
her startling experience she had OBJ
tanned IA lease of the only desirable quar-
tiers available in the business section of
the village. Early Tuesday morning,
Boston wholesale millinery houses were
receiving over the telephone, orders to
ship by earliest express to Mortified a
full line of their latest goods. On We'd
nesday Miss Smith was doing business
in her new quarters
What woman has done man should be
able to equal, in business, at least.

1t is very evident that a number of
questions of special Importance will come
up to be considered by the next Legisla-
ture. Always there are certain promi-
nent questions that seem to claim the
right of way. This year among the most
important we think, first, will be some
law to regulate and in some way to lessen
the expenses of the insane asylum. All
recognize and take pride in the superior
character of the buildings, the beauty of
the grounds, and the care with which
they are kept. But it is also very
evident that the annual expenses have
become larger than they should be
for State of the size and wealth of Yer
mont. The following is a summary of
the expenses of supportir '0sane in
the Vermont Hospital for the Insane at
Waterbury since 1899, when the construc-
ton of the asylum was begun, taken from
the official reports, and including the cost

IAUKEA FOKGETs
His PARTY AGAIN

Curtis Iaukea again forgot to which
party he belonged at noon yesterday
while he was addressing the Bethel
street audience, when he shouted:
MY Fellow Home Rulers, etc"
1aukea did not notice the error and
continued his address in perfect inno-
cence of his observation-disclosures Not so
very long ago Iaukea addressed the in
Fellow Republicans"
In his speech yesterday he said the
Republicans had nothing to show for
benefits to the islands. The County Act
was a Republican measure, signed by
a Republican Governor and defeated by
Republicans. He claimed the Demo-
cratic party was the only one which
would give the people self-government.
Il was a Republican before, but on
account of the party not having full
filled its promises / left it," he said.
Il now stand before you as a Demo-
crat. The Democratic party is the only
one that will stand back of the Ha-
waiian, the country and the Queen.
Give the Democratic party a chance
to show you what it can do for you"
was Curtis's appeal in his most per-
suasive manner.
1aukea came down to the feature of
his speech when he referred to Notley's
arrest, and the impression he left was
that the Democrats in the event of
Motley being elected as delegate, hop
ed to secure his conviction, so that
he could not be seated in Congress.
Il hate to talk personalities, said
Curtis. God in heaven knows that.
The Home Rulers have said many
wrong things about me and / caused
the arrest of Motley, Umauma and Ma
kookoo. They charge me, while 1 was
Collector General of Customs, with
having done away with a quantity of
opium. / deny the charge in toto.
They have no proof and will find no
proof. At the time when the Home
Rulers charge me with having done
this deed, l was not in the Custom
House but was Commissioner of Public
Lands.
Il hope a magistrate will adjudge
Motley guilty, so that even If he is
elected he will not>be able to take his
seat in Congress-"

Everything is ready for the election
said Secretary Atkinson last night ut
has been my aim to conduct all prcpar-

features in the law, that show its need
of amendment

portant day in the year for the Hawaii

every one of our citizens will be enabled
to cast his ballot according to his own
wishes and without interference from
outside parties The inspectors of cleo
ton seem to me to be better qualified
for their duties than has been the case
on some former occasions. They have
been constantly seeking instructions on
every possible point where a question
of doubt might arise and believe it
is their WISH just as much as it is my
WISH, " give tHe people every tight tHdt
belongs to them in the way of secret
ballot and an honest count.
Il shall be at my Office all day and
will expect representatives of all political
parties, as well as individual citizens
who are not taking so active a part in
the days proceedings to report promptly
to me any infraction of the law that
may come under their notice. These
shall have my personal attention as it is
my aim and object to have an honest
election.

IT
STRAIGHT
Is Advice Of Chairman
Robertson to
Electors.

Today's battle OF the ballots Is ex-
pected by the Republican party to land
the majority OF their ticket in the leg
islature.
Chairman a. @. NJ. Robertson of the
Republican Central Committee stated
yesterday that a complete victory de-
|pended on the Republican voters voting
. the straight ticket. His opinion as to a
forecast of the result Of today's ballot
ting hinged upon the "if."
"If the Republicans will vote straight
we will make clean sweep; If they
don't, we won't, that's ALL said the
chairman.
The chairman stated that in East
Hawaii the Republicans expected Dele
gate Kuhio would get sixty per cent of
= the votes, Motley and 1aukea evenly
dividing the balance. The whole leg
islative ticket In East. Hawaii would be
elected. In West Hawaii he believes
Kuhio and Motley will run about even.
Half the legislative ticket may be
elected.
With the Democratic and Home Rule
fusion on Maui breaking down under
clashes of the two parties, Kuhio will
take lead and probably win by a small
majority. Robertson expects the re-
turns will show that amajority of the
Legislative ticket is elected.
Kauai is safely Republican.
The chairman considers Oahu to be
the vital island. He eliminates the
Democrats from the contest believing
it is fight between the Republicans
and Home Rulers. Should the Demo-
Gratis be capable to hanging on to
fair sized number of votes in the Fifth,
the Republicans will defeat the Home
Rulers.
The Democrats, in his opinion, will
tail the procession.

KUHlO DEFENDS
ALL His ACTIONS

Prince Kuhio defended himself
against the attacks of his opponents
at noon yesterday, while speaking
from the makeshift rostrum on the
Bethel and King street corner. He
also sailed into Nakookoo, the Home
Ruler who is now under arrest charged
by the Democratic party with criminal
libel.
In his address Prince Kuhio labelled
Nakookoo's accusation against Harvey
as utterly false. AS Nakookoo had
charged the Republicans as well as
Harvey with endeavoring to accom-
plish the disfranchisement of the ma
tives, Prince Kuhio took up the cud-
gels against Nakookoo in behalf of
Harvey. t
"How can you believe such state
ment, especially coming from a man
bike Nakookoo. There cannot be
word of truth in it.
LAS to Iaukea, like him personally.
Spcdhs anu pas hS
permits his followers to make all man.
ner of accusations against the Republic
can party and me. These accusations
are false"
Some one in the crowd asked Kuhio
IL he had not, stated that Tesla was
instrumental in defeating the County
act by putting provisions in it which
caused the court to annul the bill.
The Prince replied that he had not
made the statement as of. himself but
that it had appeared in a newspaper,
and he had quoted 1t.
