he Senate.

Answering Senator Lodge, who had made studied speech in defense of the president, Senator Foraker Mon- day attacked the Lodge defense and President Roosevelt's Brownsville or. der of dismissal in terms mure vigor- ous than have been used and in a manner more savage than he has yet shown in debate upon the subject.
 The great issue involved, argued Foraker, is whether the laws of con- gress are supreme in the United States or whether the authority of the president is supreme
 'Is the president of the United States over and above the law" ex. claimed Foraker in an impassioned outburst Can he ignore it?' Then later: No; he must conform to the constitution like any other citizen"

Enjoined From Collecting Taxes.


 Chancellor J. M Elliot of Pine Bluff has issued temporary restraining order to enjoin the directors of the Plum Bayou Levee district from en- forcing the collection of taxes for 1906, assessed against residents of the district. The suit was filed some time ago by a number of citizens of the district against the directors of the Plum Bayou Levee district.
 The complaint sets forth the state. ment that the Plum Bayou levee was | constructed in the counties of Lon oke, Pulaski and Jefferson but that | about three miles below the end oi l the levee is what is known as old | river and that in time of high water the river will back up into this place and flood the lands lying within the levee district.
 It alleges also that the levee pre- vents the water which falls in this district from emptying into the river and thus floods the country. It Is alleged that the the levee is not a benefit to the land of the plaintiffs and they prayed that the directors be enjoined from collecting the levee tax assessed against their property.

WHITE MAN SOLUTION
Of LABOR PROBLEM

Editor Advertiser: Will you please
allow space for the following views on
the labor question? / am a Portuguese
and an American citizen, and have re-
sided On these islands for Is years,
and have been employed at almost
every occupation on a plantation from
mule driver to mill engineer, and /
know that if the planters will pay
white farmers q fair and just price for
the cane raised, say S. per ton or all
the sugar will stand, they will be sur
prised at the amount of labor they
will have and reliable labor too. If
they will lease to the white farmer all
the land he can cultivate with the un-
Outstanding that it must be cultivated
by white labor only, it will solve all
of our labor troubles.
The white farmer will spend all of
his earnings here and not send them
to the Orient. They will build homes
and improve these islands and the Gov
eminent as well and their daughters
will have no need to follow cur Gov
ernor's advice to marry Japanese.
The moneyed men will in the end make
more, as they will get it all anyhow
in the end So why not do the only
thing that can be done9 That is, pay
every bit the sugar will stand for the
cultivation of cane by white farmers
and quit this tomfoolery. We all know
why they do not Americanize Hawaii
and the IT. S. Senators will see through
it too quick. So LETT quit blufing and
make fair and square offer to white

LUTTED'S PLAN FOR
Los ANGELES LINE

Editor Advertiser: I note in your
columns the cable announcement to Sec
rotary Wood of the safe arrival of the
steamer Ohio at San Pedro with the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce ex-
cursion on board, who were the in
vited guests of this city, and trust
their visit was a pleasant one. They pa
tronized our hotels and boarding houses,
spent their money freely in the stores
and made friends everywhere. Their
visit was brief but they kept their
eyes open to the advantages to be gain
ed by havinga direct steamer connection
with their city and expressed them
selves in strong terms regarding the
great benefits to both cities by having
a good steamer for that purpose. This
project is an old one and seems as
ed several year ago.
It appears to me this can be ar
ranged by meeting our Los Angeles
friends halfway if our Legislature will
subsidize steamer, say $4,000 per
year, to carry passengers and freight
hrst-class passage not to exceed
800 round trip with stopovers for six
months or longer; freight $3.50 or $500
per ton; to make trips at stated inter
walls, etc., provided Los Angeles will
also put up $4,000 per year. This
amount 1000 would secure us a first
class passenger steamer with best hotel
accommodations. Tourists in Los An
geles would extend trip on the Pacific
ocean to Honolulu. Our merchants from
the benefits of increased trade and the
difference in freight and passenger
charges, would willingly pay an in
crease in taxes. We have the
scenery and climate. They cost US
nothing and Honolulu can afford to sell
them at wholesale to the tourists.
Twelve thousand dollars does not
seem very large amount to pay for
the many benefits we would receive in
return.
Any of our merchants or others who
take an interest in the welfare and
prosperity of Honolulu will kindly ad-
wise me of their support to meet to-
gether for a discussion as to the best
means to adopt for the betterment of
conditions prevailing here at present
Do it now. Ny phone No. "A, my 2.

REMARKABLY GOOD
SCHOOL EXHIBITION

Editor Advertiser: Just now when
one reads so much in the daily press
about the mixed classes in American
schools, I felt pleased when an oppor-
tunity was afforded me, to attend an
entertainment given by the pupils of
the Royal school, on the occasion of the
breaking up for the Easter holidays.
A program of twelve selections was
gone through by those scholars chosen
to represent the institution, which CON
sisted of boys and girls of eleven differ
emit nationalities, Oriental and Occiden-
tai. To say that everything went off
well would not be doing justice to the
principal and his staff of able teach
ers; it was more than well, it was su-
perlatively well.
1t showed what could be done, out
side the knowledge of the three r IS in
work of a refining influence, even with
school Of so many different national
tiles, and must have been very crafty
ing to those whose time and attention
had been given to it. Well deserved
applause greeted each piece, and not
ably good was the singing in "The Old
Plantation and ''April Time 1.-THE
time, tone and expression being admir-
able, and Mesdames Tucker and Brown
are to be congratulated on their sue
cess.
In the selection from the ttMerchant
of Venice" the bright Hawaiian 'Por
tia went through her part with the
dignity that characterizes it, while my
lord duke, Shylock, and indeed the
whole of the court, not forgetting the
messengers, acquitted themselves as on
ly those can do, who feel that the repu
tation of the establishment is in their
keeping.

graduated on their scholastic establish

knew him. That OF Claire was spon-
taneous and heartfelt and frank But
ii never blinded her to Daintrces
faults. which were those Of a warped.
eeotistical. but yet an ardent nature.
She cured him of one or two. But he
was a man with weight upon his
soul. and she could not cure him of
that. She was not told enough. After
all. too. her head and her heart We're
full of another. And thus she was
slower to detect the new lover in the
new friend than would or could have
been the case in normal circum.
stances.
Indeed. 1t might never have dawned
upon her until he spoke but for the
calling in OF Lady Starkie TO lend her
distinguished countenance to the first
dinner party given by Nicholas Hard
ing after his late ordeal. Lady Starkie

servants anu Il certain stranger within
his gates
Nicholas Harding was fifty years OF
age and widower for the second time
He was big. blond. jovial. loud. over
bearing man without a gray hair in
his massive reddish head or sign of
sorrow upon his healthy. pink. dorni-
neering face. Yet private bereavement
was not the only misfortune that had
fallen to a lot otherwise enyiable
enough. Since the last general election
a little charge Of fragrant bribery had
found its way even to an assize court.
where it had indeed broken down. but
not in a fashion wholly satisfactory to
the accused.
An important witness had refused to
open his mouth, as some said because
he was we'll paid by Mr.. Harding TO
keep it shut and endure the penalty.
In any event the charge was not per-
mitted to be Withdrawn. but the ac-
ton merely dismissed TO allow of a
new trial, of which nothing had been
heard up to the present time. But
naked sword thus dangled over Nicho-
las Harding's rudy. hard head. whose
true temper the situation served to
prove. So far from resigning his seat
he returned to the house with shrug
and a half smile and in the whole mat
ter continued to bear himself with
such modest gallantry as to remove
the prejudices of many who had at
first sided with the enemy.
Claire was not yet twenty-one. The
only child of his first wife, Claire had
never occupied the place of the young
er ones in her fathers affections, had
been consistently repressed In child
hood, but had since contrived to please
that critic by her clever management
of an enlarged establishment. Indeed.
the girl had come home from school
very capable and shrewd and self pos
sesSed, with an admirable drawing
room manner and even better qualities
Of which Mr.. Harding would have
thought less, so they were carefully
hidden from his view, for Claire had
also her faults and was both secretive
and polite in the home circle as a re-
suit of that early repression and injus-
tice. Given that cause and this effect
and some clandestine folly may be
counted upon in nine cases out of ten
and Claires was not the tenth.

Suffolk shooting box where the family
had spent the last three autumns.
