RED PACE OF
KAU WEEKLY

Very guilelessly Japanesque is the
Kau Weekly's treatment of the planta-
ton labor problem. Listen to a few
samples:
"The Hawaiian Islands is not fit for
the large farmers in the future. 1t is
quite right to encourage the settlement
of the small farmer.
Government should not allowed
the CONTROL Of the country by the
large corporation, 1T should be taken
away from them as soon as the leases
expired. Most of the good land is &C.
cupied by them already. A few years
from hence the government will have
more taxes come in from the small
farmer than from these large corpora
tion.
cit is better for the government to
encourage the small farmer, and make
a strong foundation with its own peo-
pie in the territory, instead of letting
people have it, whose ideal is only
making money, and whenever they find
no profit in the sugar industry, they
will give them up, or bring emigrants
who have no idea of settling down,
who came here to earn money and take
it away.
"In the future when the semicivil-
ized country of Asia wake up from the
long sleep, Hawaii will be an import
ant place from the view of naval and
commercial point. How can we expect
to Keep our country in good order
without its own people. Let the
American citizens have a chance to
settle here by every means, and if pos
sible americanize all the good Chinese,
Japanese and Coreans, and give them
the right to become citizens under
some special law. Don't be too narrow
minded. The great stomach of the
Yankee people has digested many diff
ferent nationalities as fast as they
come into the States and have made
them good solid American Citizens.
"There is no reason why we can not
americanize them and make them USE
"The natural definition of wages
is the reward for labour.' When the |
sugar prices fall profits are low wages
of the laborers are reduced to an ex-
tremery low point, and advancing the
prices of sugar makes profit high and
more capital can be accumulated, and
there is large wages fund. Why don't
the planters raise the wages and let
the Woodworking laborers have some
share of their profit.
Mill says that high price make
high wages, pay them one dollar
day and pay every night. We will |
guarantee this raise of wages to one

PELE
GETTING BUSY

HILO, March 31.-The latest news
from the Volcano House indicates that
there is no abatement in the activity
which developed with such renewed
force one week ago yesterday. There
is one large fountain of lava at the end
of the lake now forming in the bottom
OF the pit, which plays almost contin-
uously. At no time is the lake with
out cracks of fire radiating across it's
crusted surface. There is n steady ont.
pour of lava from central cone
which it is believed will eventually fiji
the pit. The explosions from bursting
rocks and boulders continue to be
heard. Weather cool during the day
and very cold at night. There is little
steam or smoke issuing from the pit.
THAT COERCION" CASE.
The Herald has this fling. Senator
brown need not regret being "coerced,
into voting for one county for Ha-
waii. That form of coercion has been
practiced in Legislative assemblies
throughout the United States for more
than nifty years, the only difference
being that in communities where mem
oers have sufficient gumption to say
seat they call it Grading There
may have been some trading done
when Senator Brown wanted an appro-
priation for the completion of Rich.
ardson street. If the Senator is going
to plead .he baby act for all the good
things he has done as member of the
Legislature some one had better buy
him rattle.

SOME INCONSISTENT RATEs.

1t is stated that some railroads ship
coal from certain southern fields
through Topeka to Kansas City for
a less rate than they will stop the
same coal in Topeka. 1t is certain
that the rate on Colorado coal to
central and western Kansas is con-
siderably higher than it is to Kansas
City, although it must go through
western and central Kansas to reach
Kansas City.
The reason for this discrepancy, as
given by the railroads, is that they
must make a low rate to Kansas City
in order to meet competition from
other places.
Are they then shipping to Kansas
City at a profit or at a loss? If it is
at a profit, it is evident that the rest
of the state is paying entirely too
much. If it is at a loss. they might
better do without the business, for
they are charging the rest of US
enough to make up the loss.
Any way one looks at it the rates
are very unjust, and they are building
up Kansas City at the expense OF
Kansas towns.

SOME TOMNfYROT.

Kansas is the land where the cyclone
loves to dwell, the home of John Brown,
of Carrie Nation, of Sockless Simpson,
of Mary Ellen Lease and other queer
and disturbing elements and so it is not
altogether strange that drastic measures
should be used in getting rid of saloons,
as was the case in the city of lola the
other night, where the temperance
workers got SO beside Themselves that
they carried out a deep laid plot and
dynamited those Objectionable places of
business at the midnight hour, COM
pletely denolishing the establishments
This is a species of lawlessness not at all
creditable to those engaged in it. Such
. thing could have happened nowhere
else in the country except in Kansas
South Bend Tribune.
To paraphrase the South Bend writer,
this is a species of tommyrot not at all
creditable to those writing it. It was
not the Temperance workers" of lola
who blew up the joints. but a crazy in
dividual. Things as bad as this and
much worse happen in other states con-
tinually, but because they are not '-in
Kansas" little attention is paid to them.
In New York a few months ago an at
tempt was made to place an internal
machine on a steamship and blow it up.
In Chicago a strike has been in progress
for months in which people have been
killed and riots were an almost daily
occurrence for weeks. Neither of these
things could happen in Kansas. And
how about the dynamiting in Colorado
during the labor troubles, and the mobs
\ in Indiana?
Perhaps the South Bend editor has
not heard of it, but the persons he
mentions are none of them residents OF
Kansas. They have been in the past
however, and some of them at least are
fully as creditable as many of the citi-
zens of other states.
AS a general proposition Kansas will
stack up about fifty per cent ahead OF
the South Bend mans state in all the
| things that make a state desirable.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
HOCH?

In commenting on the state treasury
muddle the Jewell Republican says:
Governor Ioeh may not always do
the best thing or choose the wisest
course in all the perplexlng SITUATIONS
that a lot of politicians and Scoundrels
have got him intos but one thing you
may be sure of, in any mistakes he
may make the motive behind the act
will never be personal greed. Hoch IS
not a CRATER, he is not a plotter against
the public good; he despises all these
things, and there is gang of sharpers
that are taking the present opportunity
to pile up trouble for him, on this &C
count
Which is true. No one in Kansas has
any doubt concerning the personal in
tegrity of Governor Hoeh. The thing
which calls forth the greatest criticism
of the governor in the present crisis in
state affairs is his seeming desire to
shirk responsibility and his lack of
backbone.
To be sure there was his neglect of
duty in regard to the treasury exan1i-
nations and his slowness in starting his
examination of the treasury, not to
mention his disregard of the Rowett
report. But those things are past. If
Governor Hoch will now act in &C
cordance with his duty and the law,
firmly and unfiinchingly, the law-lov-
ing element of the people of Kansas
may rally to his support in a way that
will surprise him.
Governor Hoch seems inclined to
rely too much upon his advisers in
this crisis. He has called in a lot of
men, among whom there is doubtless
a conflict of opinion, and it is said
that he will be guided by their adj
vice" Yet Governor Hoch has done
his best as governor when he has not
done any consulting"
Governor Hoch has not even fol-
lowed precedent in this matter. The
Sam Lappfn case was not nearly so
serious as the Kelly case, but the first
thing Governor Osborn did at that
time was to demand, in no uncertain
terms, the Immediate resignation of
the state treasurer. Hoch ought to at
least have done the same by Kelly. If
Kelly refused to comply then there is
a way that he could be pried loose.
If Kelly thought Hoch meant business
he would not wait for such proceed
ings but would resign upon demand.
But Kelly has worked and bluffed
Hoch 50 often that he thinks he can
continue to do SO, and the rest of the
state is beginning to be of the same
opinion. That's the matter with Hoch.
If Governor Hoch wishes to retain
the respect and admiration of his peo-
pie he must now demonstrate that he
is worthy of their respect, by dealing
with Kelly the same as any other
criminal would be dealt with. People
all over the state are wondering why
the governor does not act. His is the
responsibility and he is the one who
must act.
Kelly has again grossly violated the
law. and by reasOnd of it more than
half a million dollars of the state
money has gone the way of the de-
posits of a defunct bank.
Governor Hoch ought to demand
Kelly's immediate resignation. Get
him out. Then let Kelly worry about
it and take the matter to the courts
if he dare
