STOPPING THE COTTON LEAKS

The judiciary committee of the
senate has taken action which, if
adopted by the senate, will tend to
correct one of the worst pOssibili-
ties for mischief now existing in
the government crop reporting sys-
TEN, says the Atlanta COnstitu-
ton.
The committee has authorized a
favorable report on a bill which
"provides for the punishment by
fine and Imprisonment of all of
fcials and employees of the gov
eminent who take advantage ofany
information obtained directly or
indirectly by reason of their posi-
ton, affecting cotton or other
products"
The bill is intended to discOur-
age such nefarious practices as led
to the scandal in the agricultural
department last summer when it
was disclosed that employees of the
statistics collecting department
sustained intimate relations with
Wall street spectators.
Leaks Of other and more mex
cusable nature have also been re
vealed through the testimony of
representatives of the southern
cotton growing interests.
While the exercise of the ut
most prudence and precaution can
not, ofcourse, obyiate entirely OPP
portunities for corruption, the
multiplication of drastic penalties
serves to build up a powerful de-
terent infuence-which is the next
best thing, after all.
There is little doubt that the
bill will be enacted into law, as
all interests are agreed on its ad-
visibility"

WORKING FOR POLICY HOLDERS

The New York Sun says: "The
situation in the Mutual Life is as
plain as the dial of the City Hall
clock. Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish is en-
titled to the confidence and graft
tude of the six hundred and sixty
thousand policy holders in whose
interest he has been working hon
estly and fearlessly, in the face of
Mr.. Edward II. Hartman looking
over the shoulder of Mr.. Charles
A Peabody. That Hartman,
with the aid Of any sinister infu-
cnce that he may command in any
quarter, will be able to destroy
Stuyvesant Fish is to us incon-
ceivable,"

T RESTS WITH THE FARMERS

A small crop of cotton this
year means millions of dollars to
the South; large crop means pow
erty and distress for every inter
est in the South and particularly
the agricultural interest. The ex-
perience of the cotton growers this
season ought to encourage them to
support any plan that will lead to
the reduction of the cotton acreage.
The farmers have the game in their
own hands if they will only play
the cards right. If they shall be
deceived into planting large cot
ton crop this year with the expec-
tatiGn of receiving good prices
next fall and winter they will sim
ply deliver themselves into the
hands of spectators who wait for
them at every turn. A general
agreement among the farmers 10
cut the cotton acreage at least %
per cent would assure high price
for this years crop. 1t has always
proved to be very difficult mat
ter to impress the cotton growers
with this fact, bnt they have
learned very little if they have
not found out by this time that
high prices at planting time mean
low prices in the picking time

Say That He Did Not Resent the Moral Leper
and Alien Psuper paragraphs--Two
Letters in Point.

A misunderstanding about Judge
Frank Andrade took the reference to
moral lepers, alien paupers, etc., in the
famous Robinson letter, has got Mr..
Andrade into trouble with his Portu-
resent the Judges charges. Hence the
following letters:
Honolulu, T. H.. Aug. 4th, 1906
Editor Advertiser: Kindly allow me
space in your valuable paper in order
that 1 may state my true position in
relation to the Robinson letter, pub
lished in your issue of the 31st ult.,
and the statement attributed to me in
the Evening Bulletin of the day fol-
lowing.
At no time have l either directly or
indirectly, by inference or implication,
approved of, supported or was in SYM
pathy with any statement derogatory
to the Portuguese people and more
particularly in reference to the state
ment that the Portuguese people are or
We're alien Dauper laborers, social
pariahs, moral lepers, and religious
fanatics and denounce most emphat-
ically the right of any person to speak
of the Portuguese people in these
terms.
While L stated that 1 personally did
not feel any offense, yet l did not
mean to convey the idea that the terms
above referred to, if directed to the
Portuguese people. were not offensive.
My personal feelings in this matter
We're governed by my long and very
friendly relations with Judge Robinson,
my relations with him being such did
not believe that he would wiffully refer
to the Portuguese people in the terms
above stated and was confident that
he would explain his position salts
factorily- And furthermore. when max
ing my statement to Judge Robinson
[ also stated that offense would be
taken to that portion of his letter
which dealt with the Portuguese peo-
pie. because it was susceptible of such
construction.
Respectfully yours.

that you will allow me sufficient space
in your paper for that purpose.
Upon reading in your issue of the
LIST inst the communications relating
to my letter, was more than surprised
to learn that the writer's of those com
munications had placed upon that por-
ton of my letter referring to the Por-
tuguese people, the construction which
their communications indicated they
had placed upon it. as that construc-
ton was very far from my purpose
and intention in writing the letter.
Upon boarding the Manoa car that
morning, on my way to the office, I
asked Mr.. Andrade, who was also a
passenger on the same car, if he had
placed upon that particular portion of
my letter the same construction that
had been placed upon it by the writer's
of those communications. Mr.. An
drade stated that knowing me as well
as he did he had not done so and felt
sure, although, in his opinion, the
words employed justified the construc-
ton given them, that ] had not intend
ed to characterize himself and the
members of his family. as well as other
friends of mine, of Portuguese birth
and parentage, as "alien pauper labor
-ers. social pariahs and moral lepers'' or
to stigmatize people, great majority
of whom were members of my own
faith. as religious fanatics"
I told. him that / was very glad to
know that he viewed the matter as he
had. because, in writing the letter, I
had not intended that any of the terms
therein employed should have the
slightest application to his countrymen,
either in this or in any other COM
nunity, and that the only portion of
my fetter having any intended applica-
tion to the Portuguese people was that
portion which related to lack of educa-
ton and intelligence, which condition l
assumed to exist in many instances
among the contract laborers brought to
these islands, not alone from what I
had been told but because of the lack
of intelligence and education displayed
by q number of Portuguese witnesses
of that character. called and examined
on the part of the defendant in the
case of the Territory of Hawaii VS.
Frank Johnson which had been tried
before me, and that I very much re-
GREETED having employed, in the letter
alluded to, language which he claimed
and which l admitted was susceptible
of the construction placed upon it.
Thanking you in advance for your
courtesy in according this communica-
ton place in your columns, am,
Very respectfully yours.
