Cooke May Not Secure
Ali the Pa!olo
Water.

]. w. Pratt, Commissioner of Public
Lands. has placed in the hands of the
Attorney General, for the protection Of
the interests of the Government, the
matter OF a petition by A. Frank
Cooke for PaloJo Valley water privi-
ieges
AS has been officially advertised,
Mr.. Cooke has filed a petition with
Mrs. NJ. X Nakuina, Commissioner of
Private Ways and Water Rights, for
all of the water in the upper part Of
Palolo Valley
Mr.. Cooke proposes to tunnel the
water source at the top of the valley,
dam the water obtained and conduct
it over to the land he is negotiating
&c sell to the Hawaiian Board of Mis-
sions as a site for the projected Pa
cific Missionary Institute.
AS all the water in the lands below
is believed to come from the summit
springs in question, Land Commission
er Pratt considers ii proper to pro-
tect the interests of the Governments
grantees in perpetual and temporary
leaseholds in the valley. Altogether
ffty-three families have taken up

plant requiring much water. Then
about thirty acres of land, outside If
the homesteads, is under lease part

water-consuming industry.
Thus it comes that. the Commissioners

LOAN OF MONEY
WITHOUT INTEREST

| There was a small airing of the af
| fairs of James Love before Judge De
Bolt yesterday afternoon. 1T was on q
! question if the payment of A. G. M
Robertson s fee for representing the
trustee, Henry Waterhouse Trust Co.,
Ltd, in proceedings brought by Love to
obtain a certain allowance out of the
principal of his estate There was adj
mittedly no question that the fee should
be paid.
Mr.. Robertson objected to having
the trustee pay the money out of the
estate, when the expense was incurred
through an effort to railroad 5000 out
of the estate without having all the
interested parties brought into court
When the trustee had made an appear
ance for self protection, besides secur-
ing the appearance of the others, it
left Love and the beneficiaries of his
deed of trust to fight out the matter of
the allowance between themselves
Mr.. Highton mentioned that the
trustee and the benefciaries were rep
resented by the same attorney. Judge
De Bolt saw nothing out of place in
that fact, the respective interests not
being antagonistie. In answer to the
court, Mr.. Highton said he did not
think the trustee individually should
pay the fee. He stated that the in
come was reduced by the action of the
beneieiaries, Annie K. Hart and James
Love, Jr., in legal proceedings.
Mr.. Robertson, in the course of ar
gument, quoted the Supreme Court s
decision that declared the property to
be held in trust for Mrs. Hart and
Young Love, therefore belonging to
them. With regard to the small in
come of Mr.. Love about which com
plant had been made, he stated that
the income had been in part reduced
by Loves loan of $500 to Mrs. Annie
Roe, secured by mortgage.
81 don't know what to say about
this mortgage of Annie Roe,' Mr..
Highton musingly said, ''and other
things in this ACCOUNT referring to a
paper he held.
Judge De Bolt said he wanted to de-
eide the point rightly and, after stat
ing that he would take it under advise
ment, offered to give a further hearing.
If We are going TO have many more
in court, and go over all
the litigation again, viii have to ask
for a larger fee,'' Mr.. Robertson re-
marked.
However, hearing was appointed for
Thursday morning at o clock.

THE DECEPTION.

There has been great deal sale
about the independent voter ant
the "Yaller Dog" party man, and
there is a growing tendency to dis.
regard party robes. In lieu OF
that come the platform makers and
dish out bait for the unwary and
credulous voter. In other words
II. Clay Evans and the Republican
platform are promising great
things which they do not mean,
and there is an independent voter
probably ready to grab at this
sort of deception. Mr.. Patterson
made his fight partially on election
reforms. Mr.. Evans made no
fight for the nomination, but the
platform committee is speaking for
him, and they want to kill all cleo
ton reforms and put the ballot
in the hands of the ignorant and
INSCRIPTIONS after the fashion of
the Memphis elections. That is
the only way Republicans can win
a Democratic State like Tennessee
and that is the reason they want to
take the bride off. The latest
proposition they have adopted is
the extension of the Adams law
without reference to its approval
by the voter. The Democratic
platform favors the extension of
the Adams law subject to the APP
prevail of the people. There has
never been leading or represen-
tative Democrat or Republican in
the State of Tennessee who de-
handed laws that the majority of
voters did not favor and there is
not one to-day. That clause of
The Republican platform is delu-
sion and snare. 1t was written
to deceive and decoy. The Re
publicans have no more idea of at
such thing than they |
nave of wearing wings. 1t is the
unfortunate offspring of an I'M
prlncipled parentage. The Ad-
inns law has never been adopted
without the consent of
he people where it applies, and
40 law can hold for any length of
lime without such Endorsement.

THE oBIoN DEMOCRAT.

In the newspaper change last
week, Mrs. L. w. eston, one OF
the best known editors in the State,
and her husband, decidedly clever
gentleman an d an accomplished
newspaper man, have retired from
the business, temporarily we pre-.
sumo, to begin again after much
needed rest and recuperation. We
understand that they do not antici-
pate engaging in business 10 Union
City at any future time, but there
is every probability that they may
become interested in the same
business in some other locality.
They announce that Union City
will be their home for the present
and the neighbors, Of course, will
appreciate this. The Commercial
takes great pleasure in saying that
our competitors have been fair
and courteous, and that our deal
ings with them have been more
pleasant than usually fall to the
lot Of those occupying a similar
field. The life of newspaper
man or woman is not like one con
tinuous round of pleasure or never
ending garden of roses. We pre-
sumo that almost every other bust
ness is the same way, but the
remuneration which comes to a
successful journalist, say nothing
of the other fellow, is compare
lively very insignificant affair,
and his troubles are sometimes
manifold. These conditions are
often at the bottom of newspaper
wrangles. We do not mean by
this that Union City newspapers
are notable exception to the rule,
but the idea is to underscore the
fact that they have accepted the
conditions with good grace.
In parting with our former COM
petitors we wish them Godspeed,
good health and fortune.
