John w. Mcclure Returns.

commissioner JOnn Mcclure re-
turned on Friday from British COL
umbia, where he had for three monhs
been Investigating timber lands.
While away John took advantage of
an opportunity to lease from the
Canadian government valuable
tract containing fir, hemlock and
cedar. The lease runs for twenty
years with privilege of renewal. Mr..
Mcclure says that the principal prod
ucts of British Columbia are timber,
cyclones, game and climate. "The
cyclones come along unannounced, -
says Mr.. Mcclure, "they drive angle
worms through boulders with the ease
that a woman threads a darning
needle. While camping eight trees
were thrown across our tent, but
they fell in such a position that they
interlocked and formed a formidable
protection. Around us giant frs were
uprooted in every direction, paths
seventy feet wide were cut through
the forest. The experience was both
thrilling and fascinating. Game
abounds in British Columbia. There
are elk, deer and all sorts OF fowl.
But I hardly think { would like to

Soundings were taken in naval row,

depth was sufficient to accommodate
the men-of-war which are to call at

harbor to a considerable degree near

the reef, but not enough to interfere

Virginia and Colorado.

moved and the probabilities are that
but one of the cruisers at a time will
be moored in the stream, though two
can be safely anchored there if neces-
sary. Two or three will go to the

NO MORE
CONVICT WHO BROKE THE RULES
is TAKEN BACK TO HARD
LABOR.

Jorn Brown "a negro convict who has
been out on parole since February 18th
last, was taken in custody on Sunday
on order of High Sheriff Henry, and will
have to serve out the remaining year
and half of his seven year sentence
for burglary.
Brown couldn't stand prosperity. His
record while in the prison had been
so good, and the circumstances sur
rounding his conviction such, that
for two years or more before he was
paroled, he had been made a trusty,
and was allowed to leave the prison
alone in charge of team and wagon.
Later when he was paroled he got job
as driver for w. o. Barnhart and got
along very well until about week ago
when he got to drinking and carousing
down in Kakaako district. The pa
role laws are very strict, and as a re-
suit when his actions were reported to
Sheriff Henry the man was ordered
taken up. He will forfeit all the pri-
vileges which he previously enjoyed.

If time will allow it. The commercial
relations between Japan, the United
States and Canada are so large, that it
requires some one to look into affairs
very thoroughly.
THE war talk, both in Japan and the
United States is grossly mIsrepresent-
ed.
Japan has never thought Of any
such thing as war, for the simple rea-
son that there is no cause of such talk
We know very well that the United
States cannot control the ruffian ele-
ment in it's large cities, and the trouble
in San Francisco was caused simply
by some hoodlums that attacked some
Japanese business men. The papers
in Japan are the ones who talked war,
not government officials.
THE report that Japan would not
renew their treaty with the United
lowed to enter here and on the main
land was the invention of the lingo
or yellow press in Japan. TOXIC knew
nothing about it and as far as l know
does not care. If the United States
does not wish the labor element in
the country in large numbers very
well, Japan will not insist. In re-
CARDS to having the present immigra
tion law modified or done away with
altogether, that will come in time
hope. If have the pleasure of meet
ing President Roosevelt l will possibly
speak on that matter.
Il am very glad to learn that l will
have a chance to meet Mr. Straus on
his arrival here. 1t seems rather sig
nificant that we are both here on the
same purpose. He is to investigate
the Japanese question here and l on
the mainland.

HOW TT WORKS.

Even though the assertion made by
the senator from ChautauQua that the
senator from Mitchell had once en-
tered into some sort of a combine in a
congressional convention a decade or
two ago up in the Sixth district, were
true. it is difficult to see how it reflects
adversely on the Mitchell county SEN
ator. The convention system makes it
impossible for any good man to win in
a spirited contest without making
trades and combinations, and that is
the reason it is objected to.
1t is doubtful if a nomination has
been made in Kansas in years, where
there has been a contest, in which
there have not been promises of pa
tronage and trades of votes for votes.
It is done in every convention, and it
will continue to be done as long as the
convention system exists.
Every man who knows anything
about politics knows that this is true.
And the man who can make the best
trades and who can put out the best
line of promises wins. Sometimes he
is the best candidate and sometimes he
isn't That is what makes the conven-
ton easy for the professional politi-
clan The man who works at politics
ali the IlIne-Wiio Keeps his fingers Oh
the wires-can out-trade every time
the common citizen who has other
business to look after and who does
not work much at politics.
The convention system compels the
good man to make trades and COM
bines in order to do anything at all
against the corrupt man. That is the
evil of the system. That is one reason
why conventions should be abolished
and why the voters should be allowed
to name their candidates direct with
out turning the job over to politicians
and delegates to fix up in a series O.
trades.
