AT THE PRIMARIES.

whenever a conservative citizen OBJ
iects to his party ticket he is met with
tbe question: why did you not turn
out at the primaries and help make d
better one2' 1t is regarded as a crush
ing rejoinder.
Rut s,,ppose he had gone to the pri-
maries, what then? Would he not have
found them in the control of a COM
ract machine organization intent upon
ratifving the slate which had been
agreed upon between few leaders IN
some back room? Would he not have
seen the regulars" of the party run
ming the primary to suit themselves
while he and his unorganized mlitla
could only look on or feebly protest!
IT was the remark of a contemporary
awhile ago that forty organized and
-weii-led men can do almost anything
they please. in party politics, Assuredly
they can do anything they please in
primary politics; and there were more
than forty at each Republican primary
this year working as one man TO haiile
delegates ticket which had been
framed beforehand with very small re-
gard to the obligation ths oarty bears
TO it's best. elements,
1t may be asked why good citizens
don't organize. They do sometimes
when things go from bad to worse ano
then there is hue and cry about fac
tionalism'' and a fight, in the nastiness
of which good citizens hesitate t.
plunge. Besides. the average, conser
vative property-owner is busy MAJ
and cannot spare the time for politics
which politics require. He is handi
capped at every turn by a discipline'
and tricky opposition; and it is hardl,
his fault if he retires in disgust an
falls back for the expression of hi
wishes upon a choice of names on tn
various ballots.

Frog farmers are starting on Oahu
to supply the local and San Francisco
markets. The country being full of
ponds, there ought to be tens of thous-
ands of edible frogs raised here. Those
who own the present frog ponds. fear
ing competition, pretend that there is
a knack in raising the batrachians
but all that is necessary is to surround
a pond with fence which the frogs
can't get through and let nature take
its course. Frogs raise themselves.

The CASE OF B. Il. WRIGHT.

Now that B. H. Wright has failed
in his appeal to the Supreme Court
viii he consent to come out and tell
the truth about the Public Works de-
falcations in which his name is in
volved?
Mr.. Wright is highly connected in
the East. Some two years ago a law
yer, representing his family, came
here to help the accused man. From
what Wright told him, the lawyer
came to the conclusion that his friend
had been made the scapegoat of ring.
To save this ring B. H. Wright had
withheld testimony in the belief that
he would finally go free himself. II
his extremity his old friends deserted
him: and now. at the end of hi:
tether, he faces a three years impris
onment.
1t may be that B. H. Wright, b!
making a frank avowal to the Gov
ernor of the whole story would get
communication of sentence. Perhaps h
might win pardon. At the yer
least, he might be the means of open
ing the way to a prosecution whic
should show where the money stole
in the Public Works Department ha
aetually gone and clear his name c
Eaaf &c its stigma.

THE DEMocRArlc PROGRAM.

The Democratic program as outlined
h,, Mr.. kinney at the recent Orpheum
meeting has given a decided setback
to the possibilities of Democratic sue
cess at the coming elections.
According to that program, every
thing else is to be subordinated to
showing up Governor Carter and ven
tilating Cecil Browns woes because.
he was not nominated.
National issuesl Territorial needs!
business interestsl all are to be rele-
gated to the rear.
The chief object in life is to skin
Carter; and the skinner-in-chief is to
be Cecil Brown.
we are told that if the Democrats
are successful, they are going TO do
something in the legislature. The only
thing of Importance enough to enun1-
crate. is what they win do to Carter,
They are going to have ''legisia-
tive investigation and pass votes OF
censure and a lot more of the same
/ KIM OI
In other words, the Democrats say
they don't like Governor Carter, and
the whole electoral and legislative ma
chinery of the Territory is to be set to
work to prove it.
History is repeating itself.
This is precisely the program which
the Home Rulers undertook to carry
out in the first legislature after an
nexation. They spent practically the
whole session in making faces at Gov
ernor Dole and calling him names.
They made a bear garden of the leg
islatfve halls and that is about ali they
did accomplish.
Does this community want a fepeti-
ton of this experience?
Is it necessary to the peace, prosper
ity and welfare of the people of Oahu,
that the ins and outs of Cecil Browns
failure to get the Republican nomina-
ton should be ventilated through the
brief sixty-day session of the 1egisla-
ture? Does the community feel that
sixty days of partisan wranglfng will
help business or restore confidence. or
raise the price of stocks?
The Advertiser does not believe that
the voters of Oahu wan. anything of
the kind.
They want a short, crisp, business
session. The principle reason why the
names of Hutchins, Campbell and
Trent, Democratic nominees, have
been favorably looked upon by the
conservative voters, Republican as
well as Democratic, is that they are
business men, who would presumably
devote themselves to business. If they
| are going into the campaign COM
opposition to the Governor their chief
plank, they viii alternate. support
There are many Republicans who
would vote for Mr.. Hutchins the busl-
ness man, in the expectation of secur-
ing a common sense business repre-
sentative in the legislature. who will
have nothing to do with autchins the
Democratic agitator, if his chief object
| in the legislature viii be to secure
the Governors scalp as belt orna-
ment
!, We trust that Mr.. Kinney has not
/. voiced Mr. Hutchins sentiments in
this matter. If he has not. the sooner
Mr.. Hutchins makes ii known, the
more Republican votes he will secure
Governor Carter is not and cannot be
an issue of the campaign, and the at
tempt to import him into it is a futile
effort which will react upon those
making It,

A M1LLIoNA1RE's wH1M.

In the offices of William Waldorf
Astor on the Thames embankment
stands a steel desk. one of the euriosi-
ties of which is the petty cash drawer,
always filled with soyereigns. Mr..
Astor, it is said, likes to feel that he
is always in command of sufficient
ready cash to buy anything THAI may
happen to catch his eye, and thus
from the couple of thousand pounds in
his drawer he takes handfuls OF gold
just as necessity may require.

DANGEROUS cATERP1LLARs.

The hairs of the brown caterpillars,
which is the caterpillar of the brown
tail moth, are full of tiny barbs so ex-
trernely small that they are quite IN
visible. The barbs catch in the human
skin and break off, This causes the
skin to itch enough to lead the person
to scratch. Inflammation follows, and
sometimes this produces an eruption
that is even worse than the blistering
caused by poison ivy.

QUEER THIBET CUSTOMS.
Sticking Out the Tongue Replaces
Handshake in the Mysterious
Country-other Practices.

One of the few English women who
have set foot in Thibet related recent
ly some curious things which occur in
that mysterious land. The speaker was
Miss Susette Taylor, sister of the mis-
sionary, Miss Annie Taylor, and it was
to visit her sister that she journeyed into
the Chumbi valley, then little heard of.
Miss Taylor described the Thibetan as
a "jungly" kind of person, we'll enough
disposed to the European who behaves
with ordinary civility and common
sense. For instance, when the polite
Thibetan puts out his tongue at you, you
should not knock him down, for he Is
only being civil after his own kind. The
insanitary hand-shake is not counte-
nanced, and its place in the code of civ
ility is taken by the projected tongue.
Again, if you are passing train OF
laden mules on narrow ledge of rock,
and your own muleteer runs up and
casts himself against your legs, refrain
from kicking him over the precipice. He
is not about to take your life, but mere
ly desires to protect you from damage
by the passing mule.
One day during Miss Taylor's journey
fearsome jogi, or holy man, with a
coiffure like poodle, came along, and
Miss Taylor went timorously forth to
snapshot him. To her establishment he
instantly struck pose of complaceni
sanctity.
Another day Miss Taylor strayed into
Buddhist temple at prayer time, but
her parasol excited such intense inter
est that prayers were interrupted, while
the lama borrowed and opened it amid
a chorus of admiring murmurs.

would walk the earth in natures garb,

large audience in the Genealogical
center in New York city the other
afternoon. In the course Of his lecture
he incidentally pointed out a way for
the man with a permanent thirst to
cure his hankering after liquids.
What is 1t that produces thirst?"

in meat there is a large quantity of
salt Stop eating meat and you will
not be thirsty"

those present that the closer to earth
they got the healthier they would be-.

OBJECT TO UNIFORMITY.
Chicago School Principals Call It a
Hindrance to Development and
Individuality of Pupils.

Members of the Chicago Principals
association recently discussed the report
Of the child study department Of the
board of education submitted to Super
intendent Cooley. The report strongly
advocated the advantages of oral read
ing and condemned uniformity of sys-
tenn for teaching writing above the pri-
mary grades.
Principal Frazer, Of the David Ewing
school, said: This report is admirable
in every respect and will furnish edu-
Gators much food for thought. 1 agree
with the recommendations made, and
believe that it sounds the death knell of
vertical handwriting. think children
should be taught writing on loose sheets
of paper instead of in copy books, so they
would not be afraid of making mistakes.
1t would give them wider freedom and
act as an incentive for the development
of Individuality"
Principal Thompson, of the Wash
burne school, said: II believe that to
require each child to form every letter
after certain pattern is mischevous
error. 1t robs the child of its freedom
for awhile, but that freedom is quickly
recovered when the child gets away from
the influence of the pedagogue. Straight
laced uniformity is foe to progress"
Principal Mack Lane said: "A uni
form system of instruction is necessary
In the lower grades, but later this should
be abandoned, to give the widest pos
sible range for the development Of the

From any point within 300 miles or

and expend the same money he would

BRITISH DEATH RATE LOW
Last Year Shows Lowest Percentage
on Record and Big Increase
in Population.

Last year, according to the figures
issued by the registrar general of Eng
land, that country made a record other
than that which marked 1t as the rain
lest year ever known. 1t was also the
year of the lowest death rate on rec
ord-15.4 per 1000.
The total number of deaths in Eng.
land and Wales during 1903 was 514,.
450, and of these the enormous total OF
year. This total, however, is the low
est since 1881. Deaths from violence,
including accidents, numbered 19,432.
The average death rate Of London
was 1876 during the last ten years
which compares as follows with thai OF
other cities:
Christiania. 12.7 Antwerp, 1876; Co
penhagen. 14.1; Berlin, 1853; Chicago
11.2; London. 1876; Paris, 1866; Vienna,
169; New York, 20.4; Trieste, 23.2;
Moscow, 24.0; Bombay, 36.2; Madras,
400.
Births during the year in England
and Wales totaled 947,949, and the nat
ural increase of population by excess
of births over deaths was thus 433,-
499. as against an average for five
years of S68,213.
At the same time the number of per.
sons emigrating during the year was
44S,739, of whom 1873, 1890 were English
37515 Scottish, 46241 Irish, and 49,,
593 OF foreign origin. The Irish emf.
grants show an increase of nine pei
cent. over the previous year.
