1t Is not generally known that al
most every Southern State to-day has
a statute law pensioning disabled sol
diers of the late Southern Confederacy.
There are people who may think that
such law is not right, but neyerthe-
| less at second thought, ii strikes ev-
cry conservatiyely inclined person as
humane, as it alleviates suffering. A
few of the Northern States have put
laws upon their statute books, granting
State pensions to the Union soldiers
Among the Northern States that have
been prominent in this new departure
are found Idaho, California, Maine,
Missouri and Massachusetts,.
The Pennsylvania Legislature recent
| ly enacted a similar law, favoring
Pennsylvania soldiers who served three
yesrs, SO per month, to be paid out of
| the State treasury The Governor of
Pennsylvania vetoed the measure
Ohio is a progressive State, and has
accumulated millions in its State treas
ury, which money is put out of circu-
lation, the money having been accu-
mulated through State tax on corpora
lions. The State cannot pass an act
more meritorious than to pass a State
pension law, for the benefit of our sol
diers and their widows BY such an
act it will show the soldier or the wild
ows Of soldiers the respect and honor
due them. Beside it will put in circu-
| lation a large sum of money now put
out Of circulation, and not only be bene-
| fetal to the soldier and widow, but to
the people in general, as no one will
dispute the theory the larger the circu-
lating medium the better the time. The
| undersigned is now in correspondence
with officials in States having passed a
similar pension law. and from all those
laws codify and formulate a law, hav-
ing all the best features in pension
laws, legalized by various Northern
Legislatures. The honorable represen-
tative of Richland County, Robert
| Hutchinson, desires the distinction and
honor to offer the soldiers State pen
| sion law, for enactment, on the first
days session of the next Legislature,
| and the undersigned is working in con-
junction with our representative to this

The Sherman antitrust law was
passed by Congress long before Theo-
dore Roosevelt was thought of in con-
nection with the Presidency. and it was
passed in obedience to public demand
that combinations of capital should be
restrained from encroaching on the
rights of the people.
The Valentine law was passed by the
Ohio Legislature also in response to
popular opinion that some measure of
restriction was necessary in order to
preserve individual rights from the ex-
actions of corporations.
There has been no demand for a re-
peal of either the United States or the
Ohio statute, which would seem to
show that the people have not changed
their minds concerning these measures
But in spite of the fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had nothing to do with
theSpassage of either law, it is true
that he is being held accountable for
the prosecutions instituted under both
laws. Activities of county prosecutors
followed the campaign OF the national
administration for law enforcement. If
President Roosevelt had not directed
his attorney general to proceed against
companies doing an Interstate business
for violating the Sherman law, it is
eontended that local authorities would
have been less aggressive.
But why should censure attach to
the President? He was elected to en-
force the laws. He should not be
blamed for doing his sworn duty. AS
long as the people permit a law to
stand, it should be obeyed- If it is an
unjust law, if it works hardships OIL
the innocent, the people will demand
its repeal, and Congress must heed the
demand.
IL icemen, lumbermen and brick men
who confessed to having violated the
Valentine law have a grievance, it is
against the people, not against the
observation-disclosures Blade.

meaning citizens could have avoided
their present experiences by rejecting
the idea that certain laws made by
Congress or the State legislatures are
less binding than others, and that law
observance to some extent is Il matter
of usage, or subject to manipulation
by those who command influence. The
laws against methods in restraint of
trade have been on the statute books
a long time Mergers and rebates
have been forbidden by law for, years,
but many acts have been committed at
variance with it. Lack of knowledge
can not be pleaded, but there was a
prevailing belief that the enactments
would not or could not be enforced,
and the glamOr of big operations in
duced carelessness. New schemes in
millions and billions sprang up freely,
and visions of vast wealth resulted in

Those who have genuinely observed the
laws are or solid ground, while those
VIII have tempered with them are
calle' upon to square their conduct il
they can. Many new laws were passed
at the recent sessions of Congress and
the State legislatures. What indiyidu-
ais may think of them gives no pre-
scription for their violation, and those
who ignore them in letter or spirit will
find no sympathy when summoned to
defend themselves in the courts. The
trust laws, rate laws. pure food law,
and all the rest of the statutes must be
respected, or worse will come to any
who fancy that they mean less than
they say, or that there are subterfuges
by which they can be nullitied. The
great majority of citizens willingly
obey and support the laws and take

Tariff Sense and Nonsense.


Mr.. Bryan does not have much faith
i'm the prediction that the tariff is to
be the paramount idea in the next cam
paign. He says that, in his opinion, II
will occupy no such place of Importance
1t will be merely incidental. Here is
matter upon which the Nebraskan is
eminently right. There is nothing in
the tariff to quarrel over. This coun.
try continues to believe in a protective
tariff, which is the true basis OF our
industrial and commercial supremacy.
This country is not going to abandon
that policy next year. To abandon it
or to modify it greatly even would
bring upon this country industrial hor-
rors compared with which those of a
dozen years ago would be mild, indeed.

Recommendations
FOR SETTLEMENT
SENATE HEALTH COMMITTEE
ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT TRIP.
MADE INTERESTING REPORT

The following We're among the rec
concentrations for the Leper Settle
ment made by the Senate Health Com
mittee thsi morning.
Coelho for the Health committee also
made an extensive report on the recent
trip of the legislative party to the Leper
Sttlement.
The recommendations of the comittee
were as follows:
Although the conditions at the Set
Element have vastly improved within
the last two yeads, there is still room
for a good deal more, and amongst
them your committee would recon-
mend:
That goods be. supplied to lepers at
cost price, minus the freight charges
which should be borne by the Terri
tory. This is preferable to raising the
yearly wage from $40 to s16
That the sale of liquor be prohibited
in the settlement.
That the Iepers receive supply of
lbs of beef in place of lbs as now.
That the pay of laborers be raised to
81 per day and that the Kalauapapa
band be not paid any salary.
Further recommendations are:
The construction and erection of a
breakwater at the Kalaupapa landing
The erection Of a hosting machine.
The renewal of warehouses.
The erection of an Octagon building
at the landing similar to the one at
the insane asylum.
Repairs to Beretania hall.
The erection of home for nom
leprous boys of leprous parents.
The establishment Of a court of last
appeal at Kalaupapa
The furnishing of machinery for cut
| ting fire wood.
| The establishment Of an ice plant.
The repairing Of houses OF lepers, and
! A supply of fire hydrants.
Smith and Mccarthy the other MEM
bers Of the comittee did not concur in
all Of the recommendations especially
! that establishing a court of last resort
at the settlement. Coelho moved Ia
adopt the report but an amendment by

vided for in the appropriation bills.

1T would be impossible to draft a
law at a future session to establish a
lunacy commission to sit in Honolulu
and review the commitment of district
magistrates before final commitment to
the Insane Asylum. In order to bring
this about a place, other than police
station, must be provided for detention
and observation before a final declara-
ton of insanity can be entered and
final commitment made.
THE Board of Health has urged the
establishment of an infirmary i'm connec
ton with the Insane Asylum as the
most sensible, economical and proper
means Of solution of this problem of
affect the board.
Your committee believes any changes
in the management of the insane asy-
lum, if necessary, should be compre-
hensive and appropriate to readjusted
physical conditions, and therefore re-
commends that the bill be tabled"
This report was tabled to be con-
sidered with the bill
The same committee also reported on
House bill No. "a regulating the prac-
tice Of medicine and surgery in the ter
ritory. Several amendments were re-
commended as was the passage Of the
bill. one of the aendments offered
placed more stringent prohibitions on
the practice Of kahunaism, witchcraft
etc and other superstitious or improper
methods. The report was tabled to
be considered with the bill
The conference committee on House
bill no. las making the fee of filing cor
poration exhibits 500, reported The
report was adopted.
The following report was received
from Chillingworth of the committee
Of expenditures:
After careful consideration of Reso-
luton No. relating to an appropria-
ton for defraying the expenses of bury
ing the Chiefs of Hawaii, your commit
tee finds that while the object sought
is cOmmendabe, the financial condition
of the Territory of Hawaii is such that
we regret we can not recommend the
insertion of the item and we therefore
beg leave to return the resolution to the
Senate for such action as they deem
proper in the premiss."
A motion was made to refer the mat
ter to the judiciary committee to draft
a necessary bill to provide for the
work.
Senator Smith said that it was neces-
sary to place the remains of the Hawai-
ian chiefs and rulers where they would
not be likely to vandalism. He hoped
the report would not be adopted
