A FIND OF ANTIQUITIES.

One of the most recent and important
antiquarian discoveries connecting the
dim past of Egypt with modern thought
and research is the unearthing Of 5000
statues hidden below the temple or
Karnak, near Luxor, in Upper Egypt.
1t is the most important Psychological
discovery in the last half-century. The
director of the works, NJ. G. Legrain,
during the course of his preparations
for the restoration of the great ruined
Temple at Karnak, came upon a pit
which had been filed with statues and
monuments of all kinus, supposedly be-
longing to the Ptolemaic period NJ.
Legrain has succeeded in unearthing
about 5000 statues in gilded bronze,
and more than five hundred in granite,
basalt, beryl, limestone, petrifed wood,
and other materials. In nearly all in
stances the statues bear important his
torical inscriptions. Antiquarians con-
slider the fnd second only in Importance
to Marietta s famous discovery of the
Serapeaum at Memphis.
The building of the great dam at AS
souan has had an important bearing on
Psychological research. First the mag
innocent ruins at Philar became flooded
from the raised waters of the Nile back
of the dam. The beautiful temple of
Philae, it was ascertained, was doomed
to annihllation by the encroachments
Of the Nile waters. The Egyptian Ser

THE LEGISLATURE.

Mr.. KDudsen 5 election to the speak
ersbip has encouraged the hope Of the
business people that the session Will be
short and productive. He is man who
understands what the taxpayers want
and is depended upon to stop grating.
Mr.. Isenberg. the new president OF the
Senate. arouses sim.ar expectations.
If the Legislature should work as a
nrivate concern. vested with like re
sponsibilities would do. the session
could be over in thirty or forty days
IT is not necessary to use up the time
limit. By working at the start as 1t
does toward Inc emu of the session, the
Legislature could give the public busl-
ness quick dispatch. That would be
a refreshing experience for the tax
payers.
The most serious business before the
Legislature is the County Government
Act. Under this head we invite special
attention to the warning Of the Gov
ernor, not only as to the possibility
that the Legislature has no power 10
enact such law as the party platform
demanded, but as to the matters touch
ed upon in the following paragraphs:
Our present financial burdens could
not be borne were our islands less pro-
ductive, yet if the expression of the
political parties fully represents the
sentiment of the voters, they at least
seem to be willing, by the adoption of
additional burdens to undertake still
greater obligations. So serious prob |
lem should cause us to pause and con |
slider.
In other words. COUNT THE COST. |
The best wishers for Hawaii desire |

the increased expense, money should be
saved from the National Guard APP
preparation, subsidies, etc, and from
the various other leaks which, in the
past, have done so much TO drain the
treasury. By adopting the Advertiser s
plan to let the printing contracts to the
lowest responsible bidder, a consider
able sum could be passed to the credit

a few sealawags in its salaried posi- !

higher places. The only way to atone
for this error to the taxpayers will be
TO watch such men and prevent their ,
grating. AS for the rest, the way
seems open and easy to successful

The Governor does well to call the
attention of the Legislature to the need
of an act regulating and controlling
trust companies and building and loan
associations. The Advertiser s expose
of Straueh and his shady methods, and
the presence here of agencies for fiscal
corporations which have no rating,
ought to impel the Legislature to sur
round the public with ample safe
guards 100 many restrictions of the

Nothing can be expected from the
Pacific Mail in the way of lower fares
to Honolulu. The company says that
its Hawaiian business is but an incl
dent in its traffic and that it does not
want to fill its steamer cabins with
Honolulu-bound passengers to the ex-
clusion of people who want to buy tick
cts to Japan and China. 1t prefers the
long haul and the long price to the
short haul and the short price. The
only thing left for Honolulu to con-
sIder is some arrangement with the
Oceanic people for two steamers on the
local ferry with enough guaranteed
freight to warrant lower passenger
rates But the chief difficulty, as the
correspondence of the Merchants Assoc
citation shows, is to get the guarantee.

GOVERNMENTS EVIDENCE
Federal Side Of kansas-Colorado
suit will be Largely Testimony
about Financial Benefit
of lPyl0atIon

Attorney A. G. Campbell, who rep
resents the United States government
in the great Kansas-Colorado water
rights suit, is working in sympathy
with Colorado in most of its contsn-
tions. He differs in regard to the
priority of rights, holding that there
are original takers of water fur
ther down the stream who have
lights superior to those in Colorado.
Beginning today the government
will introduce testimony before Com
missioner Richardson. When ques-
toned yesterday Mr.. Richardson said
that it will be largely IN the nature
of showing values created by irriga-
ton. Witnesses will come from
Cheyenne and other states to show
that the values in property along
many Western streams are entirely
due to the use of water for irrigation.
He said that the government itself
is now interested in irrigation, having
appropriated many dollars for the
purpose. If the old riparian laws
are to prevail, then 1t is wasting its
money building dams and bitches.
"But who is to decide regarding
priority of rights as between the
residents of different states?' was
asked
"That l do not know" was the re-
ply. "These matters must first be
decided by ihe court and if favor,
able to Colorado's contention they
will then have to be adjusted. 1t is
possible that the government may
have to establish an irrigation COM

A Popular Stand.

There could scarcely be a more
popular position occupied by a chief
executive than the stand which has
been taken by President Roosevelt
with reference to railway freight
rates.
The people of the country are
practically unanimous in their opin-
ion that the railroads Of the country
have been treating them unfairly.
This is not suddenly formed belief
but is carefully matured judgment.
They are willing that railways
should pay a fair interest on their
actual investment, but they are un-
willing to pay excessive freight rates
in order that dividends may be re-
turned on W ,ered capitalizations.
They are unwilling that railways,
by giving rebates to gigantic trusts,
should compel struggling corpora
ttons to go out of business.
They are unwilling that the rail-
way business of the land should be
placed in the hands of two or three
gigantic corporations, whose ouly
interest is their own profit, regard
less of the blighting effect it may
have upon the shipping business OF
the farmers and small business mel
of the land.
This is the reason why the presi-
dent declares that the American peo-
pie are not especially urgent upon
the tariff question, but that they
have a very strong belief that the
question of railway rates should be
taken in hand.
The president is quite willing, If
necessary, to call an extra session IN
order that Legislation may be enact
ed dealing with this matter, either in
the way of giving further powers to

Testimony In the CoIorado-Kansas
Case.

The testimony which it is under
stood the federal government as in
tervenor will introduce at consider
able length in the suit between Kan
sas and Colorado over the right to
divert water for irrigation promises
to be of great interest and value.
The government will show by the
testimony of its witnesses the large
increase in values due to irrigation.
1t is practical and highly import
ant way to vindicate the right to di-
vert water for beneficial use, since it
shows the benefits of the nse of
water in that way.
Testimony of this kind places in
marked contrast the uselessness of
the doctrine of riparian rights on
the one hand and the great and
practical value of diversion for irri-
CATION on the other. 1t is a com
mon sense demonstration which the
court can hardly fail to recognise
that in an arid region the assertion
of the doctrine of riparian rights in
wolves a waste of water for the sake
of legal theory which arose under
radically different physical condi-
tions, whereas diversion for irriga
ton is a practical employment OF the
same water in ways that are bene
ficial.-Denver Republican.

A Notable Convention.

Over 800 delegates representing
nearly every state and territory, at
tended the recent forestry conven
}ion at Washington, and the occa-
sion was especially remarkable on
account OF the prominent part taken
in the meeting by lumbermen, man
ufacturers, miners, cattlemen and
railroad men, whose point of view
on the economic preservation of for
ests has changed to one OF active
support. President Mcleod of the
national lumber manufacturer as
sociation, said that men in the lum-
bering business have discovered that
its largest profits sre from the owner
ship of timber rather than its manu-
facture He holds that all govern
ment timber land should be with
drawn from sale or entry and placed
under forestry rules, allowing the
sale of mature growths, but protect:
ing the young timber from fire, dis
ease and waste. Another represent
ative of the lumber interests urged
active planting and protection.
Railroad men who addressed the
convention called attention to the
fact that railways are among the
the leading users Of timber, requir-
lug $45, 5,OOO,0OO worth of cross ties
a year, which are brought from in
creasing distances. Several dele
gates spoke of the needs of mining
in connection with the timber sup
ply, and the grazing interests were
we'll represented. President Roose-
yelt said in his address that it Is a
mighty poor American who lives
only for today and takes no care
that the country's resources are
handed down unimpsired to descend
ants. In the discussions the related
subject Of irrigation was frequently
brought in. The sssemblage showed

Adams and the Investigation.

The investigation into the Denver
election frauds SO far made by the
Legislative committee has disclosed
state of affairs in the precincts con-
cerned identical with that shown by
the testimony given few weeks
ago before the Supreme Court.
There seems to be no limit either to
the number of the illegal votes cast
or to the variety of ways in which
the perpetrators sought to attain
their object. A mere enumeration
of these devices would fill column
of space. One watcher testified that
young white woman voted under
the name of Earl Stanley, who was
described on the poll book as male
negro laborer. Boys and girls fif-.
teen years old were allowed to vote.
Similar instances without number
could be related.
In the face of such evidence as
this all talk about the honesty of
Adams election is the veriest non
sense. Proof of wholesale ballot box
stuffing is as plain as any proof
could be; it can not be denied or
evaded or explained away. 1t stares
the democrats in the face and forces
them on the defensive. Their only
refuge is the assertion that the re-
suit would have been the same if
frauds had not been committed-sn
assertion which has never been and
we believe can not be substantiated.
But to establish the truth or falsity
of this assertion is the purpose of
the present investigation, and on it
hinges the Governorship of Colora-
| do.
Just now Mr.. Adams is governor
and he may continue to hold the Of
fee for six weeks or two years, but
whatever the result of the investiga-
ton, he ought to be gladder of that
investigation than any other man in
the state. He has been citizen of
Colorado for thirtyfive OF forty years; :;
he has been governor twice before;
his acquaintance is very large and
his reputation as man is excellent.
No honorable man, much less man
of Mr.. Adams position and repute,
could afford to spend The remainder
of his life under a cloud. No hon
orable man could afford to accept an
Office under the circumstances sur
rounding his acceptance of the gov,
ernorship, and retain it without an
effort to clear himself of the taint
of suspicion that sticks to the whole
miserable business.
The moral in Mr.. Adams case is
the same as the moral in the story of
old day Tray. Character is worth a
good deal, even in politics, and it
isn't good thing for man who is
big enough to be gubernatorial tim
ber to associate with such disreput-
able gang as that which aided in
placing the present chief executive
in office. If MI. Adams escapes
from his present unpleasant predica-

or by direct statute directed toward
the railway corporations themselves,
1t is, therefore, not only popular
movement which the president has
undertaken, but it is backed by q
spirit of justice and fair play which
is always endorsed by the American
people.-Ex.
