Says the Wellston Sentinel:-"What
Ohio wants for an executive is what
the nation has for an executive-a
man greater than party; a man too
big to run through a machine" is
quoted by the slander crusade organ
from what it calls Republican"
paper. The description covers the
Ohio case exactly. Governor Herrick
has been bounded mercilessly ever
since he refused to obey Baker and
Wheeler, and proved himself "a man
too big to be run through machine" )"
Neither Baker and Wheeler nor the
liquor men could control him, SO both
tried to defeat the BrannoCk bill, In
order to hurt him for making it more
effective.

MRS. sTANFORD's DEATH.

The sudden death OF Mrs. Jane L.
Stanford at her hotel last night VIII
send a shock around the world. II IS
particularly shocking because Of the
mysterious circumstances that surround
the sad event changing what should
in the natural course o. things have been
the sweet and peaceful passing OF one
full of wears and honors into a grue-
some tragedy.
1t is to be hoped that thorough in
vestieatfon will establish that Mrs
Stanford was not the victim of pols-
oner. but there must be the most COM
pIete investigation That Mrs. Stan
ford came to Honolulu under the ap-
prehension of death by poison. there
can be no manner of doubt. She SAID
as much herself to a lady resident here
who had known her for many years,
and who was upon terms of intimate
friendship with her. An attempt up
on her life. Mrs. Stanford said, had
been made in San Francisco. The tale
is so shocking as to be almost past
belief What wretch could be so base
as to wish harm to this lovely and
Iovable woman, grown old in good
work for humanity. this woman whose
last days. were marked by the compile
ton of a great work for the future of
the race?
And yet, there is the story told by
Mrs. Stanford herself. 1t has never
been anywhere intimated that her
mind was falling. She was not en-
feebled by age. and by all natural law
should have had some years Of useful
life before her.
1t is sad, a most deplorably sad
termination that has come to her days
To the officials of Hawaii falls the task
OF clearing away from her last hours
the shadow of mystery that hangs
a bout the tragedy.

MRS. JANE STANFORD DIES
CONTINUED from page ID

That Mrs. Stanford feared death by
poisoning, was learned positively last
night. 1t was because of this fear that
she came to Honolulu. Mrs. Stanford
said as much herself in the course of
a conversation With Mrs. Henry f.
Highton, an old and very intimate
friend, within few days of her ar
rival here.
The reason I left San Francisco. =
Mrs. Stanford said to Mrs Highton.
was because an attempt had been
made upon my life. There was enough
poison used then to kill twenty people.
and an investigation of the facts is
now being made in San Francisco
Mrs Stanford seemed very greatly
affected when she was telling me this. So
said Mrs. Highton last night. and I
sought TO disabuse her mind of the idea.
In fact, I feared that it might be due
to a delusion, but she talked so ration
ally that I could hardly hold that be-
lief. But I was very uneasy. anu 7
wrote TO mutual friends in San Fran
cisco about the matter.
She told me that she feared the per
sons who We're attempting to poison
her We're members of her own house
hold. But she mentioned no names.

SUPPRESS THE USURERS.

The Legislature will be asked by the
Attorney General to follow the custom
airy example of the States of the Union
and of most civilized countries and pass
a law for the suppression of usury.
Here in Hawaii the abuse of ten per
cent a month. compounded monthly.
has worked a serious injury to natives
and other people of small means. In
many cases policemen. official clerks.
etc. are so seriously involved with the
Shylocks. having borrowed small sums,
the interest of which has doubled and
trebled the debt, as to be in a state of
virtual slavery. Some of them now
get a bare living from their salaries,
the usurers taking the rest. Elsewhere.
all over the civilized world. d similar
state of things once existed; but hu-
name legislation put an end to it. Ha-
wall is one of the few places left where
the ancient abuse continues.
What the Legislature should do is to
enact the New York or Massachusetts,
law against usury or some measure
combining the best features of the best
laws. which the Attorney General may
submit. and after that, if the present
pawn-broking law is not well-drawn
to improve it or replace it, as may
seem best. Pawnbrokins is a necessity
in place like this, and being a public
JIhe of business. under official oversight,
it cannot practice usury undiscovered.
1t may charge no more than the legal
rate of interest whatever that may be.
and must deal honestly with it's clients
lose its license. For lack of d pawn
broking shop. hard-pressed people in
Honolulu are driven into the hands of
the Shylocks and have great trouble in
getting out. There is no higher legis-
Iative duty, except to be honest. than
to protect the people from having their
misfortunes taken advantage of in this
way. usurer should be treated. here
as elsewhere, as a public enemy.

plNKnAM POPS UP.

The Advertisers guess that Mr.. Pink
ham was concealed in the shrubbery
behind the milk trusts scheme to sup
press the small dairyman, was good
one. Last night. in letter to the
Bulletin, Mr.. Pinkham not only show
ed his disappointing over the fate
of the HayseIden cement floor measure,
but he fathered the amended iiceEse
scheme, though reducing the figures
from the original 800 basis. in defer
ence to an aroused public sentiment, to
a sum more within reason. He feels
that half a loaf is better than no bread
1t has almost got to be "A proverb

from its privacy is Pinkham- When

man. who hut Pinkham turns up in the
guise of d disinterested sanitary expert

that the trust shall have it's way. 1t
must be hard, indeed, for a trust to
start in Hawaii and keep Pinkham at
arms length. He pants for such a
connection as the hart does for the
water brooks.
Much is said by Pinkham and others
who want to concentrate the milk bust
ness in the corporate hands of the
Dairymens' Association about the need
of stricter rules to protect consumers
from bad milk. As a paper which has
exposed the dealers in adulterated milk
over and over again, the Advert II
does not need to say where it st
for sanitation. But it insists that +
attempt to suppress the small dairy
man is not sanitation but greed; and
less open to criticism on sanitary lines
than the big one. Everything that
Pinkham pretends to argue for, at in
creased expense to the taxpayers. of
course, may be reached without dol
lars extra cost by a simple amendment
to the health laws. Let the pre- sent milk
inspector be empowered when he finds
adulterated impure milk, to pour it
into the street, and the whole question
will be settled just as it was in San
Francisco. There is no surer guarantee
of good milk than the certainty that
the man who sells bad milk Will lose
his stock in trade.

COMMISSIONERS ARE
GRILLtC BY COMMIT TEE

The Joint Committee on Counties
came together in the hall of the Lower
House at a quarter to eight last night
with Senators Woods, Dowsett and
Hayselden absent. In accordance with
a request by the Committee the Coun-
ty Act Commission was represented
by Cooper, Fernandez, Crabbe and
Stewart The committee wanted to
know why lot of things had been
done and the Commissioners We're Civ
en- an opportunity to explain.
Rep Carl Smith was most prolific of
questions. He wanted to know why
the Commission had put each of the
counties under the special protection
or a Circuit Court. Chairman Cooper
ventured several explanations which
did not seem to satisfy the members
of the Committee who deferred con-
sideration of the questions involved till
a later date.
Mr.. Cooper was asked as to his view
on the legality of electing supervisors,
to which he answered that when he
was employed as attorney to defeat the
old County Act he believed that the
Organic Act required the appointment
of such officers by the Governor, but
on further reading and study he came
to different conclusion and that his
final view was that they could be elect
ed.
The Committee proceeded with the
work of making minor changes so as
to conform to the change brought
about by making Hawaii into two
counties. At nine o'clock some of the
members wanted to adjourn but Il
majority wanted to go on with the
work. A half hour later the Commit
tee adjourned TO meet tonight at half
past seven.
