as a solution of the good roads problem

ANGLES LETTER.
HearStiSm.

The discussion by many newspaper
men as to whether credit for the clamor
published continuously in the most
unique journal yet produced is due to
the personal talent or the check book of
the publisher, does not alter the fact
that the iufammatory subject matter,
ostensibly in the interest of the common
people, but in reality an exploitation of
the credulous for personal gain, is often
evidence of the misuse of great talent of
a certain kind. 1t is the sort of activity
that in the ancient democracy would
have been punished by ostracism. In
this respect the Greeks We're ahead of
US. For an abuse of the great privilege
of freedom of speech, when it induces
ill-will between capital and labor, and
bitter contempt for the administration,
is force that is not wanted, all things
considered. journalism is supposed to
operate for the temporal welfare, just as
the church for the good of souls and
when each honestly performs its own
special functions it is of imestimabls
help to the commonwealth. 1t is duty
made necessary by the needs of today
that the journalist should elevate patrio-
tism above politics, so that this latter
activity may not degenerate into mere
factional and party strife OF the more
interested people. The greatest truth
ever uttered by one of the greatest of
thinkers, Emerson, is, that it is simply
impossible to intelligently discuss social
problems, unless We can totally divorce
self interest, let alone animosity, in the
process of reaching conclusion. The
last thing We want is these two ele-
ments, in connection with ideas CLEANED
from the teachings of many men, iffer.
ing greatly in character, and moved to
action by the contemplation of condi-
tions totally different from our own
twentieth century advancement. Such is
the state of mind that the writer of the
wonderfully lurid articles seems to
endure. A state of mind probably the
consequence of too ready assimilation
of the played out arguments of Lassalle,
Marx, Fourier, Owen. Buckner, and the
rest-in part that "labor is the source
of wealth. and is unjustly deprived of a
due measure of happiness, through the
appropriation by "capltal" of the excess
of profit over the cost of production.
Now in our country there are very few
men and women who are oilers in fact
the richest class i'll this country are
extraordinarily active in devising means
for expanding according to their income;
and all this activity upon their part
keeps hundreds of artists and artisans
in full and well paid employment; and
this, the only possible encouragement of
skill in every known branch of handi-
craft is the spirit of an advancing pro-
cess of civilization. appropriation on
the part OF capital through force of law

and enterprise that has made America

.STOWAWAY WITH
MUCH BAGGAGE
DEFIED THE VENTURA'S CAP
TAIN TO PUT HIM ASHORE AT
AUCKLAND.

An uneventful voyage was that, of
the Ventura which arrived this morn
| ing. The weather was good on the
whole. one incident, however, is de-
| serving of record After leaving Aucll-
land Purser Buchanan was notified Of
the discovery of stowaway. The
stowaway was a stalwart, swarthy in
| diYidual who claimed to be an Ameri-
can citizen who defied the captain to
put him ashore. But he did. The
man, who was about 30 years of age
had plenty of luggage, which bore the
labels of the best hotels i'm France,
I Switzerland and Italy The last la
| bel seemed to be that of a swell hotel
at Monaco where he evidently tempt
ed fortune and came a "cropper." The
Captain of the Ventura showed an in
clination to treat the stowaway kindly
and asked whether he would work ON
| the voyage. The stowaway felt in
dignant and asked Suppose / refuse?"
"Oh, we'll, in such case, we shall have
to put you ashore"
You can't" replied the stowaway.
Cant We" replied the captain. A
blow from whistle brought the boat
swain on the scene, and i'm the twink
ling of an eye, a boat manned by four
sailors was lowered; the stowaway was
packed into it with his luggage and
the distinguished traveller was being
rowed to the nearest land which proved
to be Rangitoto Island, a thickly wood
ed and uninhabited spot i'm the Gulf of
Hauraki.
The island was practically in the har-
Dor of Auckland and the stowaway
would have no difficulty, the officers
of the Ventura state, in wading across
to the mainland of New Zealand. AL
though claiming to be an American,
the stowaway was Britisher and pos
sessed in cash 10 pounds. He refused
the offer made to him by Purser
Buchanan to pay the ten pounds and
work e remainder of his passage to
San Francisco. The Britisher evident
ly saw that the steamer was leaving
the harbor and figured that he could
not be put ashore. .-e was probably
unacquainted with the fact that Auck-
land harbor is rather tortuous course

Grand Jury
Springs Some
Sensations

The Grand Jury was to report at two
this afternoon and if half the stories
heard on the streets are true Foreman
Tucker might have been expected to
need a wagon to drag all of the in
dictments over from the Capitol to the
Judiciary building.
The proceedings Of the present grand
jury have been wrapped in a dense
cloud of mystery for many days past
and Foreman Tucker has worn a
tOuch-me-not expression which has eff
fectually warded off any prying in
quiries as to what has been doing.
For all that the street rumor for
days has been that there were indict-
ments already prepared for Charles
Chillingworth, formerly Deputy High
Sheriff, and it is an open secret that
that eX-officer so far from avoiding
the process of law, has courted the
fullest enquiry and has actually ar
ranged for his bail in case he should
be put under arrest, which in any case
will be nominal.
But rumor went still further this
morning. That the Grand Inquest has
been investigating into methods en-

ployed at the last election is well
known and perhaps it did not come as
a complete surprise to those who heard
the story when they were told that Sam
Johnson's name was mentioned in a
paper signed by Foreman Tucker Sam
Johnson is of course known as one Of
the hardest Republican workers in the
city so that if the rumor as to his be-
ing indicted should be correct, it may
easily be imagined how seriously
shocked the Attorney Generals depart
ment must have been as johnson and
Attorney General Andrews were elbow

This morning the matter of Illicit

investigation if appearances go for
anything. Out i'm the hallway of the

cent raid back of Punchbowl but it is
just possible that the foxy Grand Jury

lead astray any local Sherlock Holmes
who might be prying into what might
be doing.

SAM JOHNSON AND REMILLARD

Quite an interesting case was called
in the police court this morning when
Frank Remillard was charged with ex-
tortiOn in the second degree. Samuel
Johnson appears as the complainant
against Remillard. The charge grows
out of the recent election. Remillard is
alleged to have charged Johnson with
election fraud and later with having
tried to extort money from Johnson az
a bride to keep from telling on him.
1t is said that this is the basis of Grand
Jury proceedings against Johnson.
The case was continued until tomOr
row. The charge which johnson makes
against Remillard is as follows:
