L. b. McClanahan the Democratic
candidate for the Delegateship, has
written to Kuhio and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION why the Republican candi
date for the delegateship has spread
the report that McClanahan will dis
fra.chise the Hawaiians If he Il
elected.
Following is the letter:
Waiohinu. Hawaii Oct. IS, 1906.
To the Honorable j. X. Kalanianaole
Republican Candidate for Delegate
to Congress.
Sir: 1t has been the impression
among both your supporters and oppo-
nents of the white race that in this
campaign You We're urging the natives
not to draw the color line in voting on
the Delegate. l have in my possession
Information that in the country sec
tions removed from the centers of
white population you are advising the
natives to vote for Charley Motley. II
they do not vote for you, for it will
be in the power of the "haole," Nc
Clanahan, IL he goes to Congress. tn
change the Organic Act by striking out
the words "or Hawaiian" and thus
disfranchise the natives.
You know. and all your friends
among the white race know, that this
statement, II it is being made by you
or anyone else, is untrue, and 1t is but
fair and honorable for You to publicly
correct 1t. II 1t has not been made, or
to affirm 1t, II 1t has, so that the voters
may know your position clearly on the
matter. Yours truly,

II. f. Murray, ESD Chairman, Repub-

Oahu.
Dear Sir: Yours OF today acknowl-
edging receipt of our note of yester-
day re Joint debate, duly received. We
note therein your insistence that the
Democrats shall open and that the
speakers thereafter shall alternate
which will give the Republicans the
close.
/ wish to ask you your reason 70:
insisting that the Democrats shall
open and that the Republicans shall
close. why should the Democrats ac-
cept such a proposition? What justice
Is there in your position from your
standpoint? We prefer to receive from
you n statement of your claim to this
privilege before we make final reply.
AS l understand IT. the party open
ing should have the right to close and
particularly should this be conceded
TO the Democrats as they are expect
ed in the first instance to state their
reasons why the Democrats should be
sustained at the polls.
The Republicans have the right of
reply to this, bringing up any new
matter that they see fit, and all the
Democrats ask is that right to meet
and reply to such new matter We un-
derstand this to be customary and
right, but IL we are mistaken and If
equity requires that the Democrats
should open and that the Republicans
close we are ready to carefully con-
slider any claims that you may make
to that effect.
Yours truly,

THE PREFERABLE INVEST
MENT.

To those who have even
casually compared property
values in different towns, it has
become readily apparent that
the higher values are always
found proportionate to public
spirit and population.
From which fact it is evident
that when citizens of any COM
munity desire to increase the
worth of their holdings or to
enlarge the field of their business
opportunities, they must devel-
Op a strong public spirit with a
view to promoting the growth of
the town by making public i'm
provements.
But at the same time it must
be recognized that the ability of
a community, be they ever so
willing, is limited. Only a GER
tain amount of effort is possible
at any given time, and it there
fore becomes a matter of choos-
ing that public improvement,
within their means, which will
give the largest returns on the
money invested.
The experience of many towns
has proven that educational in
stitutiOns have at all times
yielded more in every way for
the amount expended upon them.
than any other improvement,
and this is especially true at the
present time when the desire of
parents to educate their children
has become a first consideration.
Wherefore as a choice among
other possible improvements,
presented to a town, undoubtedly
the erection and maintenance of
a modern, handsome school
building will recommend itself
as greatly to be preferred and
especially so since schools at
tract only the most desirable
class of citizens.

"Getting Around Laws.

Leslie's Weekly.
Nothing has done more to
bring corporate interests and
the owners and promoters of
large financial and industrial

OF popular discomfort over ex-
listing social and political condi-
tons, than the disposition of
corporations and Individual men
OF wealth to beat the laws, or

lana Stated in His
Own Words.

"Equalizing assessments does
not mean increasing the assess
ments on property already as
sessed high as compared with
the property of others. It
means bringing the assessments
of the latter to the figures of the
former.
THUS, the assessment on the
property of some people may be
high enough; on the property of
others entirely too low as com
pared with their neighbours.
Equalization means bringing the
assessment of the latter up to
the figures of the former; not
still further increasing the as
sessments of those whose assess.
ments are already high enough.
Again, equalization means
that all the property 4 man owns
