TRUE PROGRESS
ANC LABOR

Editor Advertiser: Before departing
for the mainland l wish to submit a
few candid thoughts founded largely
on information gathered from two
months sojourn in Honolulu. / am a
worshiper at the shrine of liberty,
and believe with the whole strength of
my being, that without liberty no per-
manent, or desirable progress can be
made In these islands, or any other
place. Our country can not be justly
charged with causing, or allowing to
grow the appalling conditions prevail
ing in these magnificent islands.
The valuable land and water rights
were about all turned over to corpor-
atoms and spectators before annexa-
tion. II the success-the vast achieve
ments along the lines of progress and
lhappiness-of the great Republic proves
Anything. 1t establishes the fact that
no progress is worth anything to us
unless 1t is grounded on the productive
labor of patriotic citizens. What sort
of progress has Hawaii Territory made
since Annexation? How many genuine,
patriotic American citizens have We
gained here? How many such citizens
do we expect to make out of the 1OO,-
900 Mongolians, now crowdlng the Ter
rltory, monopoliZing the labor market,
rapidly, and surely crowding out, not
only all white laborers, but all white
people of small means, from every pos
sible chance to live? What are we 60
ing to do with the poor Molokans, or
any other poor white people, that may
be tricked and deceived into coming
here? They may have few dollars
lef- and we can squeeze the last cent
out OF their childrens banks; but what
them Are we trying to find, or make
class of white people that Will do
more work and live on less than the
Japs and Chinese? How long will II
take to do a job like that? There is
but one salvation for Hawaii Terri
| tory, and that Is to people the Terri
tory with good citizens. Everybody
knows that white laborers alone can
solve the problem, and everybody, lex
cept Doremus Scudder, is perfectly
aware that we must rid the Territory
OF all elements that keep American
home-builders away. Why not the
courage Of our CONVICTIONS We have
got to get rid of the Mongollans, or
they Will get rid of us In these Islands.
as well as in the Philippines. Seiflsn-
ness and cowardiee never made a

selves to be worthy citizens OF the

clTIzEN ASSISTS IN ARREST
lndIo Merchant Recognizes on street
y Man Whom He Charges With
PASSING Fictitious Check

j. G. Better was arrested yesterday
by Patrolman Criege and Clark Pierce,
a merchant of Indio, Cal, charged
with passing a fictitious check in Indio
last May.
Better says he is the manager of the
Eureka Medicine company. The police
declare that Better answers the de-
scription of a man who has scattered
forged checks broadcast throughout
the country and is wanted in Riverside
for securing money under false pre-
lenses and that the police of Santa
Monica desire his arrest.
Pierce alleges that he cashed the
check last May from Better, which
was for 500. Yesterday he recognized
Better on the street and asked PATROL
man Criege to arrest the man.
Better will be arraigned in the police
court Monday.

From the Los Angeles Express of
July 81. 1906.
sEARcHLIGHT, New. July 27.-The
rich properties in this camp are con-
.tinuing to- fall into good hands. The
latest deal causing interest here was
the purchase of the. Duplex Extension
group, consisting of four full claims.
adjoining the Duplex mine and on the
same mineral lode
The Pacific Coast Mines bureau of
Los Angeles purchased this group from
Allison e. White for 100000.
This property is the extension of the
rich Duplex mine purchased by John
Brockman and Count James Portals
six months ago for $250.O00 The Du-
plex is daily shipping ore from four
shafts and running its immense
cyanide plant
Mining men who have examined the
Duplex Extension properties express .
the firm conviction that large ore
shoots will be uncovered on the hold
ings of the new company.
Los Angeles capitalists are doing
much toward developing this part OF
Nevada, Their latest Investment will
probably rebound greatly to their

The Topeka state journal., 1906-06-01

Aside from any complications in the
present campaign in Kansas. the prin-
cipIes advocated by Ex-Governor W E.
Stanley in his Memorial day address at
Wellington are exceedingly sound. With
Lincoln's great Gettsyburg speech as
text, Governor Stanley advocated the
placing of principle above party. and
the election Of the best man to public
office, regardless OF party lines.
It is a good symptom in public af-
fairs when men like Governor Stanley
advocate Independence in politics. Il
means that the day Of the yellow dog
is passing. 1t means that politicas
conventions will be more and more
careful in the selection Of their candi..
dates knowing that corrupt or in
capa bic men will be turned down by
the independent voter at the polls.
Most men have some party align
ment. 1t is right and proper that they
should have. That does not mean, how
ever. that they should allow party to
rule them regardless OF principle. It
does not mean that they should vote
for dishonest man simply because he
happens to be on their party ticket.
This idea of independence in politics
caused thousands of Kansas Demo-
Gratis in 1904 to vote for Theodore
Roosevelt for president, and it also
caused thousands OF Kansas Republi-
cans to vote for a Democrat for state
treasurer.
It is all right to be faithful to party
principles. but good citizenship de-
mands independence OF absolute party
rule, and it also demands the elimina-
ton Of the yellow dog candidate.

SHOULD 1T BE CoBURN !?

While Mr.. Thomas Andrew Cordry,
Of the Parsons Sun, occasionally i'm
AGNES vain things and now and then
sees double with his minds eye when
considering Topeka. he not infrequent-
ly trots out unique and more or less
valuable suggestions for the inspection
of the public.
Such suggestion the gifted editor
Of Katyville makes in a brief discus
sion of senatorial matters. It is that
Governor Hoch should send F. D. CO.
burn down to Washington for awhile
on a vacation as United States sena-
tor
Mr.. Cordry would not make a per-
nanent thing of 1t. He believes Mr..
Coburn is far too valuable a man for
Kansas to spare long from his present
post. The Parsons editor would maks
it merely a temporary arrangement. He
believes it would be a change for Sec
retary Coburn, and the senate might
also profit by a few months associa~
ton with the Kansas agricultural ex.
pert.
But how about Mr.. Coburn's side Of
the question? It would be just like
him to start in at once and do some
work at which he would earn his SAL
ary and thus break all senatorial pre-
cedents. It would be the Coburn way,
too. to go ahead and do what he
thought to be for the best interests o.
the country regardless of It's influencs
on politics, and that would not meet
the approval of the politicians
Then there would be another danger.
Washington might become so enamor.
ed of Mr.. Coburn that it would insist
on Kansas sending him back for six
years. to the detriment of Kansas agrl-
culture.
But Mr.. Cordry puts up a good ar
gument. After laying down the prop
osition that Senator Burton's success
sor should be a man who would bring
about Republican harmony, he says:
Should the Sun be requested to se-
lect such a man who would do honor
to the state during the short time he
would serve as United States sena-
tor and who would fiji all the re-
quirements mentioned it would select
F. D. Coburn. secretary of the stats
board Of agriculture. While practical

party IN Kansas has been aligned on

N WESTERN KANSAS.

Returns from the assessors indicate
that western Kansas is having a great
growth. Its population is increasing
rapidly, and the prairies are being uti-
Iized more and more for growing crops.
Particularly are the sparsely settled
counties along the Colorado border fill
ing up with newcomers. The census
statistics show that the increase in pop
ulatfon in those counties runs from fif-
teen to over sixty per cent. It is possi-
bic. and probable, that just as many
people are settling in the counties a
little farther east, but the percentage is
not so great.
This is not a western Kansas boom
but a steady growth. There Is small
danger Of a repetition Of conditions Of a
decade ago when many people settled in
the western counties and left after a
year or two because they could not
make a living. People have learned
something since then, and the newcom-
ers are guided by the experience Of the
old residents. They are raising never
failing forage crops in that region now,
and the wheat belt is creeping steadily
up the slope towards the Colorado line.
Here and there are little irrigated
patches. and the Campbell system Of
cultivation is proving a great boon to
those who use it.
Those who have kept tab on western
Kansas during the last four or five years
are not surprised at what is taking
place. Any amount of exceptionally fine
land can be had cheaply and on easy
terms-land which frequently pays Tor
itself with a single crop. The people of
that locality have made money steadily.
The farm separator has made it possi-
bic for them to keep herds Of COWS on
the rich prairie grass and ship their
cream to some distant creamery
And there is plenty of room for more.
Probably less than ten per cent of the
land in thirty counties of western Kan
sas is under cultivation, and that which
is yet to be cultivated will yield big re-
turns. That is why so many people who
know a good thing are going to western
Kansas to take advantage of it.
