may confront them; while if there is any principle involved in the matter, it is just as wrong to deny inGepend- ence for a few years as to deny it fer an indefinite period. But in later and equally official utterances by our oppo- nents the term f-government was substituted for independence; the words used being so chosen that ip their natural construction they de- scribed precisely the policy now being carried on. The language of the plat form indicated a radical change of policy; the later utterances indicated a continuance of the present policy. But this caused trouble in their own ranks; and in a still later, although less formal, utterance, the self-govern- ment promise was recanted, and inde- pendence at some future time was promised in its place. They have occu- pied three entirely different positions within fifty days. Which is the prom SC they really intend to keep?
 To promise to give the Filipinos in- dependence when it is prudent to dc so, or when they are fit for it, of course implies that they are not fit for it now. But as we must ourselves be the judges as to when they become fit" and when it would be prudent to keep such a promise if it were made it necessarily follows that to make such a promise now would amount tc a deception upon the Filipinos.
 It may be well that our opponents have no real intention of putting theil promise into effect. If this is the case if, in other words, they are insincer, in the promise they make, it is only necessary to say again that it is un wise to trust men who are false in ont thing 10 deal with anything.
 Faithfully yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Presidenc Roosevelt's letter of acceptance of his nomination by the republican national convention was given to the public to- night. The letter embracing about 12,- OOO words goes into a complate discus sion of all the issues which have. been raised by the platforms of both poHti- cal parties and by the speeches of ac- ceptance. The letter is in part as fol lows:
 Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 12.-Hon. J. G. Cannon, chairman of the notification committee. My dear sir: 1 accept the nomination for the presidency rendered me by the republican national conven- ton, and cordially approve the plat form adopted by it In writing this letter there are certain points upon which I desire to lay especial tress.
 It is difficult to find out from the ut terances of our opponents what are the real issues upon which they propose to wage this campaign. It is not un- fair to say that, having abandoned most of the principles upon which they have insisted during the last eight years, they now seem at a loss, both as to what it is that they really be- lieve. and as to how firmly they shall assert their belief in anything. Tn fact, it is doubtful if they venture resolutely to press a single issue; as soon as they raise one they shrink from it and seek to explain it away. Such an attitude is the probably inevitable result of the effort to improvise convictions; for when thus inprovised, 1t is natural that they should be held in a tentative manner.
 A PARTY OF CONVICTIONS.
 The party now in control of the gov ernment is troubled by no such diffi- culties. We do not have to guess at our own convictions, and then correct the guess if it seems unpopular. The principles which We profess are thosr in which we believe with heart and soul and strength. Men may differ from us; but they cannot accuse us of shif tiness or insincerity. The policies We have pursued are those which we earn eStly hold as essential to the national welfare and repute. Our actions speak even louder than our words for tha faith that is in us. We base our ap- peal upon what we have done and are doing, upon our record of administra tion and legislation during the last seven years, in which we have had complete control of the government We intend in the future to carry on the government in the same way that we have carried it on in the past.
 \ party whose members are radical ly at variance on most vital issues, and if united at all, are only united on is- sues where their attitude threatens widespread disaster to the whole coun- try ha 4rnc tel1 n fr, matter. A party which, with facil5 ease, changes all it's convictions before election cannot be trusted to adhere

PANAMA.

Our opponents can criticise what We did in Panama only on condition of misstating what was done. The ad- ministration behaved throughout not only with good faith, but with extra ordinary patience and large generosity toward those with whom it dealt. It
 was also mindful of American interests.
 It acted in strict compliance with the law passed by congress. Had not Pan- anna been promptly recognized, and the
 transit across the isthrlus kept oper, in accordance wich our treaty rights and obligations there would have en- sued endless guerrilla warfare and pos i sihly foreign complications; while all { chance of building the canal would ] have been deferred certainly for years. ! perhaps for a generation or more. l Criticism of the action in this matter is simply criticism of the only possible action winch could have secured the ! bidding of the canal; as well as the i peace and quiet which we were, by i treaty, bound to preserve along the line | of transit across the isthmus. The ser. vice rendered this country in securing ! the perpetual right to construct main
 tain, operate, and defend the canal was | so great that our opponents do Ao. ven- !
 ward fashion; for if so raised there
 would be no issue. The decisive action ! which brought about this beneflcent
 result was the exercise by the presi- dent of the powers vested in him, and in him alone, by the constitution; the i power to recognize foreign govern
 ments by entering into diplomatic re- latiOns with them, and the power to make treaties which, when ratified by the senate,/ become under the constitu- tion part of the supreme law of the ! land. Neither in this nor in any other matter has there been the slightest ] failure to live up to the constitution in letter and in spirit. But the constitu- ton must be observed positively as well as negatively. The president s duty is to serve the country in ac- cordance with the constitution; and I

But in addition to meeting and solving the problems which were issues in these campaigns. it also became necessary to meet other problems which arose after election; and it is no, small part of our claim to public confidence that these were solved with the same success that had attended the solution of those concern ing which the battles at the polls were fought In other words, our govern mental efficiency proved equal not only to the tasks that were anticipated, but to doing each unanticipated task as il arose.

BROWN WILL
INVESTIGATE
Maui Police Methods
Are Said to
Be Lax.

High Sheriff Brown will probably go
said to exist in the police administra-
ton of the island There are no charges
against any Official of that island, but
the High Sheriff is not satisfied, from
a report brought back by Deputy sher-
if Chillingworth, with the methods
used in the collection and accounting
of fines and costs in the district.
The immediate trouble which calls
for the visit of the High sheriff arose
during the trial of a japanese woman
at Lahaina before Judge Kahauielio
last Friday evening. Both Attorney
General Andrews and Deputy Sheriff
Chillingworth prosecuted and the wom-
an was convicted and fined fifty dol
lars and costs. She paid over the
money to the court and was about to
be released, when Deputy Sheriff Chill
lingworth objected. No mittimus had
been made out for the deputy sheriff
at LahaiDa, and Chillingworth objected
to the release of the woman until the
police department had been given sat-
isfactory evidence of the Judgment OF
the court. The Inittirnus was then
made out and the difficulty settled, but
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth investi-
gated and was not satisfied with the
methods used by the police and the.
magistrate. He learned that it was the
custom to release prisoners when they
paid their fine without ever going
through the formality of issuing nit
tinus and certifying that judgment
had been entered. It was possible for
the magistrate to collect fine and
release a prisoner without the police
being at all cognizant Of the fact, and
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth was
afraid that this might lead to abuses.
The police accounts are required TO cor
respond with those of the magistrate,
and the laxity of the system of ac-
counting. the Deputy feared, might re-
suit in irregularities from which the
police would suffer. The facts We're
reported by Mr.. Chillingworth TO High
Sheriff Brown, and the latter said yes
terday that he would probably go to
Maui today for the purpose of setting
matters right. The method in vogue
in Honolulu is for the district magis-
trate to issue mittimus for every
prisoner sentenced, whether he pays
fine or not
