LEGAL REGULATED MONOPOLY.


st. Louis speech. relating to the ere.
alton OF federal corporations, we
should not forget Judge Farrar's
letter. published last May. Judge
Farrar contended that under the pow.
er ito establish postofilces and post
roads" the federal government "can
create railway corporations. and give
them such power as congress may
think best. and. In so doing, protect
and municipal taxation. except such
as congress may authorize. This view
has been adopted by the president
In the interest of the railroad cor
poratlons. II is not a sound view
II has been directly controyerted
by the opinion of the supreme court
Of the United States In the case OF
Thomas vs.. Pacific Railroad, reported
In 9th Wallace at page $40, so far
AS It relates to taxation and also
by the opinion OF the same court In
Cohen VS.. Virginia, &C. Wheaton,
26D. so far as 1t relates to the
power of congress to authorize n cor
poration created by itself or any
other power, to transact business In
any state whose laws interdict its
operations. So. that neither under
the post roads clause or under the
interstate commerce clause OF the
constitution has congress the right to
create corporations, or TO license cor
porations to do interstate business.
The position of the national associa-
tion of state railroad commissioners.
which. at It's meeting In Washington,
October Q, expressed It's hostility to
the presidents plans, is well sus-
tanned by judicial authority. Neither
the bank case ON which the presi.
dent relies for his scheme OF federal
incorporation. nor the lottery case
on which Mr.. Bryan relies for his
scheme OF federal license for exist
ing corporations. supports the conten-
ton of those who seek by such
means to destroy the rights OF the
states. and to bring in an era of
legal regulated monopoly" such as
that recommended by the civic fed
eration's committee on municipal
ownership. whose report seems to
have been paid for by certain New
York bankers and capitalists inter
ested In railway and traction cor
porations This scheme of legal
regulated monopoly, to which the
president is said TO have lent
the weight of his influence is pre-
cisely what the railroads. insurance
companies. and trusts OF all sorts
desire. They are willing that the
president should. render them odlous
to the public, II he will serve them
to the extent OF releasing them by
such means. or any means, from
their responsibility to state govern |
mcnts. Their managers are all as |
practical as MIR. Hartman. or Mr. |
Roosevelt himself They had rather

DANGEROUS FINANcIeRINo

cluded the placing of government mo.

estimated as sufficient to construct
the canal.
The placing OF such huge amounts
OF government money with national
banks Is coming to be regarded as
an evil and dire predictions are made
as to the day when the government
may have to withdraw considerable
portion of this money. II must be
remembered that every cent of the
money represents a surplus. the accu.
mutation OF several years. Uncle Sam
Is getting In so much money that
every year for some years he has
had millions OF money In his pock.
cts when his balance sheet was struck
at the end of the year. Mr.. Cortelyou
has now about loaned all of this
money out to the banks and should

The deposits with the banks have
been gradually increasing for years.

much OF II. nearly always because the
cry OF scarce money prevented action.
The time Is coming. It Is predicted.
when II will be almost impossible
to take much OF this money away
from banks. even In dun seasons,
without the cry going up that the
government was pulling money out OF
circulation. All the time the banks
are getting the use of the money
without paying one cent OF interest.
They are compelled to do nothing
but buy or borrow bonds sufficient
to insure the government against
loss.
Prominent flnanclers say that the
time will come when the government
will begin to need the money with
the banks and then there will be dan.

war with n foreign country, for in
stance. with Immediate demands for
large sums Of money, the situation
would be embarrassing for the gov
ernment to be compelled to withdraw

miss the money just that much AMI
a check would follow In prosperous
conditions. The same thing Is possi.
BILE should the government receipts
begin to fall of, as they did several
years ago. leaving the expenditures
greater than the receipts and n defi'

have to give up their deposits, or
portions OF them. thereby curtailing
the funds In hnslness channels.

.sTRAUs PARTY WERE
TAKEN MOTORING

Secretary Straus and party were
taken for an automobile tour yesterday
afternoon by ]. P. Cooke and ]. A.
McCandless. The party started soon
after o'clock from the Moana Hotel.

made at Oahu College. From there the
party went through the upper Makiki

Wells Peterson's residences, to give
the visitors a view of the golden
shower that is in such profuse bloom.
Thence the party went to the top of

.NEEDHAM TURNED
DOWN A BRIDE

A bold attempt to bribe the police
was made on Monday by Francisco
Martin, who not only offered to pay
officer William Needham to act as an
accomplice in a bold theft but flashed
the money temptingly in the officers
face. 1t was a silver dime and the
bribe was virtuously turned down.
Martin had stolen two pineapples,
value twenty cents, and was being
hotly pursued by Chinaman and his
wife when Needham appeared and
headed off the marauder. He held him
until the pursuers caught up and
heard their charge.
Tell him you know I paid him the
twenty cents and I'll give you ten
cents" whispered the prisoner, who
dug down and tried to slip the coin
into the officers free hand
No charge was laid against him for
attempted bribery and corruption. but
he got thirty days on the reef for
swiping the fruit, when tried before
Judge Whitney yesterday morning.
Mrs. Alice Ontai was declared not
to be common nuisance by the dis
trict magistrate, a charge of being
such having been laid against her by
a neighbor, Mrs. Mary Roderigues.
The lady of the first part owns a dog.
the evidence being to the effect that
the dog was yellow and with a fond
ness for little boys. So fond of the
little boy of the complaining witness
was he that he bit the little boy in
the cheek. The defendant produced
several witnesses to swear to the good
character of the dog. who only bit
when his ears were pulled or familiar
tiles were taken with his tail. Such
action, decided his honor, was just
ifiable.
Joe Comes, who confessed to swiping
Antoine F. Feller. was fined seven and
a half, with costs enough to bring the
penalty up to an even ten dollars.

T. ". M|[vERTON
IS A CANDIDATE
(From Thursdays Advehtiser.)


Frederick w. Milverton yesterday
announced himself to coming Governor
W. F. Frear as candidate for the
office of Attorney General.
He stated that he understood no re-
ply was to be expected, one way or
another, until Judge Frear entered on
his executive Office. The Chief Justice
told him that his understanding was
correct.
Mr.. Milverton was assistant to Coun-
ty Attorney Douthitt in the first period
of county government. Since then he
has been a deputy of the Attorney
General, with land and water cases as
his speciality.
While on his recent visit to Shanghai
he saw by the Honolulu papers that
Deputy Attorney General NJ. F. Pros
ser was named as the probable sue
cessor of Attorney General E. C. Peters,
with himself as the first deputy in
succession to Mr.. Prosser. Mr.. Mil
verton, however, concluded to enter
the lists as candidate for the head
ship of the Territorial law department.

SENSATIONAL ROT
FROM EXAMINER

Examiner.-Honolulu and the Ha-
waiians have forwarded their latest
political woe to Washington. They are
going to try to prevent the confirma-
ton by the Senate of Chief Justice
Alfred S. Hartwell, and they are not
at all pleased with the appointment
of Associate Justice Sidney NJ. Ballou.
Delegate in Congress Kalanianaole,
successor to Prince Cupid, is fuming
and the Honolulu Bar Association is
all astir.
After President Roosevelt appointed
Chief Justice Frear to succeed George
R. Carter as Governor, it was thought
the influence of Carter, VINO had only
been an American for seven years,
Was about over as far as Washington
was concerned. Ernest G. Walker had
had a talk with the President and had
been assured that Carter would not
have the last say in judicial appoint
ments. Kalanianaole, who had been
overlooked, thought he might hereafter
be consulted bit about insular affairs.
The Bar Association of Honolulu ar
ranged for special meeting, at which
suitable men for judicial appointments
We're to be suggested to the President.
But before that meeting could be held.
along came a cable dispatch announc-
ing that the President had named
Hartwell as Chief Justice and Ballou
as Associate Justice.
''Ahal More of Carter's work! He's
still the power behind the thronei"
So exclaimed the angry Honolulu
lawyers. Governor Frear denied that
he had been consulted in the matter
ard semed inclined to duck into a
political hurricane cellar until the
storm was over And out of the sput-
tering and stewing and general anger
have begun piling up here for trans
mission to Washington the prelimin-
ary charges against Hartwell and the
objections to Ballou. Senators are be-
ing approached in the effort to get
UP a combination to defeat the con-
firmation of Hartwell. The prelimin-
ary charges allege unprofessional con-
duct in certain litigation: but the
anger of Honolulu is too hot yet to
permit Of the preparation of anything
very definite, though the curses are
both loud and deep.

THE DOCTOR AWAY FROM HOME
WHEN MOST NEEDED.

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family ply
sician is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp. collie and diarrhoea require
prompt treatment, and in many in
stances prove fatal before medicine can
be procured or a physician summoned.
The right way Is to keep at hand a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician
can prescribe better medicine for
these diseases. Sold by all dealers.
