DEMOCRATS ON PENSIONS.
Dunsmore Proves Democratic Oppo-
sition to Liberal Laws

Dunsmore Proves Democratic Oppo-
sition to Liberal LAWS
J. NJ Dunsmore of Neosho county.
the speaker of the Populist house of
representatives of 1903, is fighting
Colonel Harris He says that he is
opposed to any candidate who hates
old soldiers as Colonel Harris and his
colleagues do. In a letter written to
the Chanute Tribune, Mr.. Dunsmore
shows the connection between Harris
and Alton B. Parker and between tho
Kansas Democratic platform and the
platform adopted by the Democratic
national convention two years ago.
The letter in part is as follows:
Editor Tribune:
Il notice that a number of the sol
dier-pension hating papers are devot
ing considerable space to the ex-Union
soldiers, in support of the candidacy
of W. A Harris for governor A little
history may throw some light and
show just where the Democratic party
stands on the soldier question
President Roosevelt authorized PEN
sion order 7S on March Is, 1904 This
order was nothing more than a lib
eral construction of pension acts Of
congress, and by its terms declared
that it should be considered as an
evidential fact that where an appli-
cant for pension has passed 81 years
of age he is disabled one-half in abil-
ity to perform manual labor, and so
by graduation to the age of 20 years,
when that fact was to be deemed suf-
ficient for a rating of S12 per month.
The Democratic party met at St
Louis in July, 1904, and true to the
general attitude of the party toward
Union soldiers, 1t could not refrain
from criticising in its platform this
very just order by the president as
IAN arbitrary executive ORDER and
the nominee of that convention, Judge
Parker, in his letter of acceptance,
referring to pensions and the Demo
cratic platform said. 1T denies the
right of the executive to usurp the
power of congress. Such usurpa-
ton was attempted by pension order
No. rs, and effect has. been given to
it by a congress that dared not resent
the usurpation."
Here we have Judge Parker charg-
ing President Roosevelt with an Of
Tense for which if guilty he should
be impeached.
At that convention Mr.. Harris was
an active supporter of Judge Parker,
both before and after his nomination
and was himself candidate for vice
president as a Parker man and sought
the support of the Kansas delegation
but was turned down by that body,
even Mr.. Farrelly refusing TO support
him, and Mr. Johnson declared that
The for one would vote forever and
eternally against such a man." refer
ing to Mr.. Harris support of Judge
Parker, and his very evident Wall
street backing.
The Democratic convention held at
Topeka on April 25 of this year, by
its platform Endorsed every line of
this soldier-hating platform of 1904.
And now we find this Parker Demo
crat from Chicago, Mr.. Harris, and the
Democrat statesman from Shawnee
county, Mr.. Overmyer, going about
the state proclaiming themselves spe-
cial friends of the old soldiers, and
asking their votes

RUBBER HAS BRIGHT PROS
PBCTS.

Messrs r. A. Wadsworth and w.
l.. Decoto of the Koolau Rubber
Company have returned from a
personal inspection of the COM
pany's plantation at Nahiku and
are highly pleased with the out
look of rubber on their planta-
ton and the others in that
vicinity. Mr.. Wadsworth says the
trees that were planted from seed
last June are now as high as fifteen
feet and are thriving beyond belief.
The company has twenty five
acres planted or ten thousand trees
all of which are doing well. Prac-
tically all of the lands are cleared
and ready for planting and as soon
as the seed and plants arrive, which
will he soon, the work will go rapid
ly on.
The lands were practically all
covered with a heavy growth of
trees and brush and it has cost
but six dollars per acre to clear the
land while the digging of the holes
for the planting has cost but one
cent per hole. This is due prin-
cipally to the fact that the soil is
loose and free from stones and as
it is free from grass it Is an easy
proposition.
All of the buildings necessary
are already built and the expense
Of the up keep Of the plantation
will be light from now on.
1t is confidently expected that
the growing of rubber will be one
of the most successful industries
on the island and will make pos.
sible the utilization of many acres
of land that are now useless.

A RECORD BREAKER.

Last week the Hawaiian Com
mercial & Sugar Company's mill
at Puunene ground over fourteen
thousand tons Of cane and manu-
factured two thousand one hundred
tons of raw sugar. This was done
in six days time, and is the record
breaker of the world, and far in
excess of anything thought possible
a few years ago. 1t is an average
of three hundred and fifty tons per
day.
Within the corner stone OF the
new Wailuku school house is a
copy OF a newspaper presented by
the Honorable III. p. Baldwin,
which gives an account of one of
the meetings of the Hawaiian Su-
gar Planters Association when he
was young man and in attend
ance for the first time The report
in this paper shows that at that
time the output ofsugar for the en-
tire Island of Maui was five hundred
tons per annum, and he is said to
have prophesied then that the day
would come when the output of
sugar for this island would in time
reach two thousand tons per year,
at which optimistic statement all
the sugar planters laughed. And
now within life time one of his
plantations alone manufactures
in one weeks time over the
amount that he thought it possible
for the whole island to produce
in one year.

and the cement work will be begun
next week. While the fire in San
Francisco has caused scarcity of
cement and will necessarily cause
delay in the construction of the
work the residents of town will be
benefited to such an extent that
no compaints will be made by the
delay that will necessarily follow
the causes that are in no way
chargeable to the contractor.
Even though the old side walks
were laid with the planks length
wise and therefore caused many a
fall and many slivers to run into
the feet of the children and caused
at least one broken ankle they
served good purpose in their time
and were better, at least, in wet
weather than no walks. None will
regret to see them give place to
concrete.
When this work is completed
and the new walk built down to
the depot the next improvement
that should be agitated is the lay
ing of a concrete walk on High
Street out to the new school house
after which should follow the erec-
tion of new Court House on the
site of the old tumble down build
ings that are now makeshifts for a
Court House and temporary jail.
Mr.. w. o. Smith was seen this
week by representative of the
News and expressed himself in the
strongest terms in favor of the erec-
ton of suitable Court House and
was surprised to find the old build
ing in such a dilapidated condi-
tion.
He said that while he favors the
strictest economy In the admins
tration of the Territorial financial
affairs he believes the interest of
the community would be served by
the building of new Court House
here and was surprised that the
administration had not included in
its plans the erection of such a
building out'of the funds available
at this time.

good will be-accomplished.
The report of the committee was
received, and on motion of Mr.. D.
II. Case, vote of thanks was ex-
tended to Mr.. Coelho. The motion
was carried unanimously.
The matter of caring for the
trees-w discussed and Mr.. Case
offered to take up subscription to
pay for the care of the trees until
the matter could be taken up by
the Board of Supervisors of Maui
County, as it was believed these
could be cared for out of road
funds.
Mr.. Copeland, chairman OF the
anti-mosquito committee, reported
that a consignment of top ninnows
would reach Maui next Saturday.
Oiling of stagnant pools was
dwelt on and the third matter of
cleaning up the community was
then taken up. Mr.. Geo. Weight,
sanitary inspector, reported on the
work done by his department.
a resolution was moved by
Judge Mckay that the secretary
write to the principals of the va
rious schools asking their assist
ance and cooperation, and also
that of the teachers and pupils, in
trying to minimize the mosquito
pests in the district.

UNCLE SAM IN CUBA.
UNITED STATES is FORCED TO
INTERVENE.
Island government Goes to Pieces
Palma and Cabinet Resign
Troops Are Landed and Secretary
Taft Fakes Control of Affairs.

American intervention has come in
Cuba and the Cuban government is
now in charge of the United States.
The life of the first Cuban republic
has ended. President Palma refused to
withdraw his resignation and the mod
crate party straightway deserted Con
gress.
Friday night Cuba was without a
President, Vice President, or a Cabinet.
The Cuban Congress- had disintegrated
and the island was without a govern
ment. Thirty American marines were
sent ashore from the fleet to guard the
Cuban treasury. 1t is said to contain
$2O,00O,O 600.
simultaneously Secretary Taft issued
a proclamation, in the name Of PreSl-
dent Roosevelt, announcing American
intervention under authority Of the
Plat amendment.
Secretary Taft temporarily assumed
the duties of military governor. The
city of Havana is pOliced by rural
guards. Gen. Rodriguez, commander of
the rural guards, is cooperating with
Secretary Taft
Secretary Taft is acting governor of
Cuba under the Cuban flag. Negotia-
tons for the disarming of the insur-
gents are in progress. Though peace
prevails in the island at the present
moment, American marines have been
landed. American troops are now
moving toward Cuba, as the result Of
an order issued by President Roosevelt
that 5000 soldiers be sent to the island
at once. A large number Of American
warships already are in Cuban waters
and more are on their way thither.
Yet the American governor, by public
proclamation, has assured the Cuban
people that the provisional government
will be a Cuban government as far as
possible, that fair elections will be
conducted, and that the government
established by their votes will be given
control Of their public affairs. The

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds in
Weight and Became Well by Taking
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Women at forty, or thereabouts, have
their future i'll their own hands. There
will be a change for the better or worse,
for the better if the system is purified by
such a tonic as DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. ID. 9. Wedding, of Hartford, KY,
writes as follows concerning the diff
culties which afflicted her:
~ was seriously i'll and was confined
to my bed for six or eight months in all,
during two years. l had chills, fever,

ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and l had dizziness
or swimming in my head and nervous
troubles.
81 was under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years l learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits of Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills and l decided that I would
try them. The very first box l took
made me feel better and when I had
taken four boxes moreI was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when

and have since continued in the best Of
health. I have recommended DIR. VIII.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
