CURE FOR USELESS SENATORS.

In lecture at Columbia university
New York, President Wilson, of
Princeton college, informed his audit
ors that senators from the uncouth
west were more valuable to the coun-
try than senators from the efete east,
because
''If you live in a place where you
can sit around the stove in a country
store and spit tobacco juice into a
sawdust box, you are much more like
ly to have opinions than if you live in
New York.
The state of New York will now
know what to do with Senator Depew
and Senator Platt, conceded to be the
most useless of the statesmen who sit
under the gavel of the vice-president,
says the Sioux Falls Press. What
they need is not'a sanitarium, but a
plug of tobacco, box of sawdust
and country store, out west.

THE report that the state admins
tratioD. would commence a criminal
action against the lumber trust has
thrown the machine element into CON
sternation, and every leading machine
paper, with unanimity that sug-
gests Encouragement has set up the
howl that the administration is trying
to steal Senator Kittredge's political
thunder. The righteousness of such
claim by the machine is more APP
parent when we remember that the
campaign by the reform forces in this
state has been along antitrust lines
since the beginning and that Senator
Kittredge only took up this trust
busting business after he saw the ex-
preston of sentiment by the republi-
can party at the Sioux Falls state
convention. With Kittredge his con-
version to the anti trust issue dates
from ll:55 1t was SO late in the day
that he only had five minutes to make
run for the band wagon, and that
is mighty strenuous effort for one
SO proud of the fact that in movement
he appears ''like the back end of a
hack" which his friends have freely
advertised. In making his famous
dash for seat at the antitrust en-
tertainment the only spot that seem
en- to offer secure footing without
treading on the toes of his friends was
the edge of the lumber trust. The
junior senator Immediately set up

Worlds shipments were fairly large
at 9,S72,000 bushels, with a small
movement from the United States,
and HEAVIER MOVEMENT FROM RUSSIA.
The Russian government has so Of
ten received aid from this country for
its starving citizens that it never hes
itates in years of short crops to com
pell the peasants to sell every kernel,
if need be, to pay the heavy tax to
support the glory and pomp of its Of
ficial aristocracy, and to satiate the
greed Of it's scheming and dishonest
officials.
The present condition in Russia de
mands instant relief and it is well
enough to raise fund for that pur-
pose although it is not to be presum-
ed that il will amount to more than a
"drop in the bucket" as compared
with the extent of suffering.
But the only real charity toward the
Russians would be to take heroic
measures. We sent gunboats to stop
the numbering of few hundred Ar
menians at the hands of the Turks.
We send a few bushels of wheat to
help prolong the agony of millions of
starving Russians. Next year the
same system will be employed and
the same starvation will appear in
some other drouth stricken section of
that vast empire.
We consider it right to make a man
support his family, and nations pro-
tect the lives of their citizens against
a band of murderers. Let us gather
together few shiploads of food for
the present emergency, but send a
few gunboats along to sec that the
Russian government does not contin-
ue the numbering process by forcing
starvation upon millions of its sub
jects. There is more cause right now
for sending an inter national fleet
against Russia than there ever was
for sending warships against the
Turks during the Armenian massacres.

HOW TO ASSIST RUSSIANS.

The movement to raise relief in this
country for the famine sufferers in
Russia is gathering headway and re-
ceiving the endorsement of many OF
the chief executives of the different
states. Gov. Crawford has endorsed
the movement by proclamation dated
April llth. Charity is commend.
able virtue, one of the greatest of
which we are capable, but charity
does not consist alone in aims giving.
The present instance is one in which
the giving of aims is mere sham in
the name of charity. The only char
ity worth while to the suffering Rus
slams is to help them do away with
the system that causes this oppres-
sion and starvation. People are not
starving in Russia because that coun-
try does not raise enough to feed its
people. We read it in the report of
Mondays grain market.

The Lead Call, of the Black Hills,
proposed Hon. Fl. A. Ustrud, now
superintendent of public instruction,
as a candidate to succeed Gov. Craw-
ford. Undoubtedly the Call makes
this suggestion under the supposition
that Gov. Crawford will be candi-
date for the senate, although the lat
ter has made no formal announcement
Should things shape in that way, Mr..
Ustrud would make strong candi-
date, and a good governor, if elected.

The following is from the Bryant
News, one of the stalwart organs of
the state:
This continual agitation by stalwdrt
papers throughout the state is going
to result in good to the cause of in
surgency. If this continual dinging
is to be kept up the reform forces, So
called by common consent, are going
to win in a canter next year, as they
ought Give Gov. Crawford and his
assistants a chance and if they make
good, it is just what we want isn't it?

Twill rather shock the friends of
the direct primary in South Dakota
to learn that Senator Foraker, the
head of the old machine in the Buck
eye state wants to fight things out
with Secretary Taft, under the direct
primary. Evidently Senator Forakar
thinks that the "boss" can do business
very nicely under the primary. Ar

Not at all! Foraker is simply max
ing the best of what he knows to be

COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS.

De Smet, s. d., April 3rd, 1907.
The board of county commissioners
of Kingsbury county, S. d., met in
their room at the court house in reg

a bad situation. He is forced to ac-
cept the primary system as the least,
to him, of two evils. The old ma
chine handed down to Foraker by
the late Senator Hanna is not in good
repair. Foraker is depending on the
heavy black vote in Ohio, which he
thinks he has nailed up in box be
cause of his opposition TO the presi-
dent in the Brownsville incident,
which black vote he knows would be
hard to deliver by machine methods
against a republican administration,
but which may be landed under the
direct primary for Mr.. Foraker as an
individual While we would regret
very much to see Foraker win out in
Ohio, if he can do so by fair and
direct vote of the people of that state,
he is entitled to the victory. And we
are not so sure that he will not win.
We rather place the odds on Foraker

MYSTERIOUS FIRE.

There was fire in the two-story
frame block on the mauka-Ewa corner
OF kamehameha w road and King
streets at 1880 o'clock this morning.

of old clothes near can of kerosene

when big James Kupihea smashed in
the door and chucked the danger out.

headquarters by the detectives. The boy
is alleged to have taken garments valued
at SIS, but only a minor charge was pre-

Mrs. Pasternek employed the boy Satur-
day afternoon to take a package OF cloth
ing to Alexandria for her. The packa &c
contained wedding outfit for young
lady living In the Virginia city. The Nc
Vickers boy was engaged for the service,
it is said, because he said he was ia
mi!iar with the streets OF Alexandria and
that he was acquainted with many resi-
dents there. He was given the package
by Mrs. Pasternek, who also furnished
him car fare, telling him she would pay
him for his work upon his return.

to return to the tailoring establishment
for his pay and Mrs. Pasternek learned Of

Detectives Vermillion and Barbee started

articles Of clothing had been left in the
shed in the rear of house 624 Massachu-
sets avenue northwest, the occupants of
the house having found them and taken
care of them, but It was not until last
night that the boy was located. Jack"
