as will be seen a little further along.

sively the sale and storage and hand
ling of kerosene oil for illuminating
purposes for household use, and for
nothing else. The fire test fixed in the
bill for oil of that character is lis de-
grees Fahrenheit.
The title, therefore, does not fit the
bill-or, rather, the title would fit a
much more comprehensive measure.
That is precisely what it was intend
ed to do. That indeed is where the
African is hidden.
House Bill 127, with its mfsft title,
has been printed and is now in the
hands of the finance committee. As 1T
was introduced it lies on the desks of
the members, along with other bills,
and when it comes from committee the
members will pick it up, as the Gus
tom is. and mark the changes in it "a
they occur on second reading. That is
the rule. Because that is the rule it
is sometimes easy to change a bill
most materially when the members are
not noticing, and thus bad meas
sures have often been put through very
well meaning legislative bodies.
the title written for House Bill 12T, a
bill that embraces all kinds of oil, il
Eliminating and fuel, and in which the
fire test has been placed at a figure
satisfactory to the oil ring that is be-
Heved to be behind this job. This bin
it is the purpose at the proper time to
substitute for, the Kaniho bin.
This substitute bill, coming from
committee .on second reading, will not
be printed-or, at least, it is hoped
that it will not be. When it comes up
for consideration, the members will
have only the printed copies Of House
Bill No. 127 before them. Some of them
may not be able to follow the changes
that will have been made. Some 9TH
ers will be careless. perhaps. Still
some others will have their attention
drawn to other things. And, alto
| gether. the schemers hope to be able
to work through the House a bill that
will be satisfactory to themselves.
Incidentally to this scheme, it is a
positive fact that a commercial agent
| for the Standard Oil Company came TO
Honolulu on the last Korea from San
| Francisco. The name of this agent is
not known. but that he arrived cannot
| be disputed 1t was said then that he
was on his way to China. That may.
or may not have been the case. It is
a fact that he was introduced to at
kIeast one member of the legislature
and he may have been introduced to
otf1ers-as a Standard oil man. Since
then. nothing has been seen of him.
If he is still here he is laying some
what close, but is nevertheless well
served.
There was a hearing given by the
finance committee of the House to the
oil people on Friday night. There was
a. lot of discussion at that hearing,

Now sits the Senate in its lofty place,
The while the Chaplain daily prays for grace
Achi, the willy, chattring of the law,
And Dckey. too, whose work is not raw;
There bold Jack Dowsett holds the measure straight
And Hewitt the petitioner, doth wait:
McCandless battles for his railroad BILL
With Dickey still at hand the scheme to kill
Or turns to work reforms at Iwilei,
And in hot wrath black sin away
There Bishop who's of common sense,
Knocks all the county act off the fence
With logic that dodger escape
While Paris of Hawaii admits he'd scrape
All he could get by way of higher taxes,
To help job chasers grind their sev'ral axes.
There Brown of Hio sits,san island sphinx,
And Lane the printer caught with the goods,
Disputing beauy's palm with Palmer Woods.
There Hayselden, intent public schools,
Is held by Dickey strict grammars rules;
There Gandall of Kauai and silver speech,
Calls the interpreter when he would preach
His faith in his command OF English weak,
And yet the old eloquent would speak.
Still there Kalama, whiskered, though but young,
Stands up to fight the winds with golden tongue;
There Wilcox says word, from day to day,
Save when passing bill would come his way
And then he rises swinging his strong right
Intent if he is overworked, to fight
There Isenberg, of gracious mien
And mighty weight, in his wide chair is seen
A Teuton Samson laying down the law
And ruling all the Senate with his jaw.

The mans fool who'd wantonly destroy
The confidence of any manly boy
In man. Nay, he is worse than any fool.
The child. attentive to his books at school,
Is taught that honor, honesty. and worth
Count more than any accident of birth;
He learns an honest man is Gods best work
That honest men no obligation shirk:
He learns, by men, to set his standards high,
The noblest way to live, the best to die;
In short, he is man-taught to reverence men.
How bitter is his loss to find out, then,
There is no honor, congressman.

bert. The special messenger from the
emperor OF Korea. is in receipt OF a
cablegram from Korea in which the
emperor declares that the agreement
between Korea and Japan Is null and
void because II was obtained by
force. He also declares that he Will
never sign this agreement in its pres
ent form and that the disturbances
which attended the outrage OF No
vember II are likely to occur again.
Concerning the cablegram from
the emperor OF Korea Mr.. Hurlbert
said
This is the first genuine word that
has been received from Korea giving
the real attitude OF that government
toward the treacherous act OF the Jap
anese For several weeks the en-
peror was practically in confinement
and Japan gave out the false state
ment that an amicable agreement had
been made. This Is now proven to
be untrue. The agreement was made
under duress and at the point of the
sword, but the emperor has at last
succeeded in piercing the Gordon OF
Japan and getting information into
the outer world"
