Editor Advertiser: In requiring or
admitting the endorsement of a cam
didate to a government Office by an
executive committee of a political
party, the government openly processes
the theory that politics is trade and
gives an official approval TO so called
''spoils system" which has wrought
such a havoc in political morality on
the continent. The fact that it is being
gradually but Systematically discarded
there. giving way to the civil service
examinations. is sufficient to prevent
public spirited citizens. having pure
politics and honest government at
heart. from encouraging its introduce

black plague, cholera and the rest.
Politics is not a trade where a man
barriers his skill or his goods for per-

First, the franchise, the rights of vorirr

Like religion, neither of these goods

An EPIDEMIC
or DEAD BEATS

Honolulu, May a, 1905.
Editor Advertiser: Kindly ,lIIow me
space in your valuable paper TO ask
the merchants and everybody else of
Honolulu to como together so as to
enable them to beware of the epidemic
Of dead beats which We are having at
present. The city is full of them and
the only way to get rid of them IS for
the merchants to consult one another,
and let each other know to whom they
should give credit: If everybody fol-
lows my plans and keeps a strict look
out for such people business viii be
much better. The people that are
drawing high salaries are the worst
and many of them shouldn't hold the
positions that they are holding. EsTe-
cially the ones employed by the gov
eminent, they should give other peo-
pie good examples and not beat every
body as they are doing. Merchants
and everybody else are finding BUSH
ness very hard nowadays. Why2 Sim
ply because they sell all their goods on
trust, and can't ever collect their bills.
It won't pay them to sue for the same

names, and in case a suit be brought
against them, it will be like throw
ing good money after bad money
Everybody with little judgment can
see for themselves whom they could
trust by seeing 81 man. the way he
lives, etc. If the merchants don't care
to take my plans up they will surely
have hard times right-along.

Hawaii has a keen interest IN the
ssrust issue as it is a victim of one OF
the most remorseless trusts of the
American brotherhood 1t is compelled,
unless it wants to take the chances OF
battle with the allied sugar niagnates,
to sell its staple product to them at a
price which they have the power to
fix. The trust takes the crop at its
own figure and leaves the Hawaiian
planter just enough margin to keep
him hopeful of better times to come.
while the mainland octopus swallows
the profits. A presidential campaign
issue against such trusts ought there
fore, to help Hawaii, and should in
spire our convention delegates to work
hard for an aggressive platform.
