Honolulu. r. f., April %, 1908
Editor Advertiser.-Why is that the
land question is continually cropping
up, especially when prospective small
settlers try to acquire holdings? Not
month passes in which large holdings
are not offered for lease for varying
periods under special conditions.
We all know that certain large acre
ages advertised on Hawaii are to go
to one certain ranch, where tree plant
ing conditions are to be required; and
TO certain plantations, where special
conditions confer special privileges as
regarding the use of the adjoining pub
lie domain. We are all kept INFORMED

cane lands in large areas at high I'd

UP TO BRYAN.

Everybody familiar with national
politics knows now that . vast amount
Of money was spent by the silver In
terests in 1896 and again in 1900 in
the effort to secure the election of Mr..
Bryan, but the facts were less obvious
at the time of their occurrence than
since, just as the country has been
illumined as to the contributions made
to the Republican campaigns of those
years. But of late Mr.. Bryan has de-
veloped acute antipathy to the misuse
of money in politics. And, if he has
been quite partisan in pointing his
illustrations. he has justly denounced
the practice in general. But now
comes the shocking story that his back
ers in Minnesota used thousands of
dollars to defeat instructions in that
state for Governor johnson, on the
theory that if Minnesota could, by
such Establishments, be passed into the
Bryan column, the johnson boom
would collapse and disappear. This
charge ought to be "meat for MI.
Bryan. He should have it investigat-
ed forthwith, and, If it is true, he
should proceed to Danish the perpe-
traitors of the crime from the fold of
Democracy. And if it should be
shown that he had knowledge of what
was going on, Mr.. Bryan should be q
real Spartan, acknowledge the fact
and use his eloquence to justify his
transgression or to plead his pardon.
Plainly, it is up to him to do some
thing.-Kansas City Star.

HIS PLEA FOR A BIG NAVY

HIS PLEA FOR A BIG NAVY.
H. H. Carr, president and treasurer
of the National Farmers association,
is in favor ofan American navy big
enough to make it invincible. "Un.
preparedness for defense" he says in
q letter sent out from the headquar.
tiers of the association in Chicago, els
the chief cause of nearly every nation
al conquest. Our vast coast line makes
US exceedingly vulnerable. Coast de-
lenses and mines are local in their in
fuence, while the utility of q fleet is
unbounded."
Mr.. Carr goes on to remind US that
since the Spanish war the United
States has become a world power. We
have assumed wide responsibilities and
our interests are scattered over the
seas. The president of the association
therefore goes on record, in behalf of
agriculture, the largest industry in the
country, IS urging Congress Ito add
to our most effective weapon of de-
fense."
This letter, coming from an organi.
zation representing agriculture, the
most peaceful vocation, may not draw
the sympathy Of Ill who are engaged
in agricultural pursuits, but that it
will strengthen the cause of those who
believe that Is long Is the world is
not yet ready for the olive branch the
best way to insure peace Is to prepare
for war, cannot be denied.-Lincoln

order coming north and existing in
the Union army. At Richmond, the
capitol of the Confederacy, some of the
Germans, who had property interests,
took the oath of allegiance to the
Davis government-an oath which
they were too patriotic as Union men
to consider binding. It was this class
Of Germans that furnished valuable
information of a military character to
the authorities in Washington and be-
friended Union prisoners at Bell Isle
and Libby prison. During the border
warfare which ragged between the free
state people and the Missouri cut
threats, the German citizens of Atchi-
son, Lawrence and other towns in
eastern Kansas fought side by side
with the other free state people to pro-
tect the homes Of loyal citizens and
defend Kansas people against the
raiders from Missouri. 1t was the
German citizens of St. Louis and other
Missouri towns that assisted Union
men in keeping the state from joining
the Confederacy when the notorious
Governor jackson and his band of
conspirators undertook to gain control
of the government military post near
st. Louis, secure the arms, ammuni-
ton and other supplies and turn them
over to the faction in Missouri hostile
to the Lincoln government.
The action of the men composing
the Atchison association, styling them
selves moral reformers- is un.Ameri-
can and not in harmony with the
constitution or the sentiment of the
land. Men differ on questions of pol
itics and public policy Is they have
right to do, and should be protected in
that right. If a community fails to
enforce the law of the state or munici.
pality, it is either through negligence,
or lack of public sentiment that those
who offend are not punished. The
fault is not with the law, but with the
people a. q whole. When an associa-
ton of men 60 60 far a. to request
those who are not in harmony with
their views on certain questions to
leave the country they are treading
dangerously near the line which tends
to turn public sympathy against them
and in favor Of those they attempt to
penecute by depriving them of q right
guaranteed to them by the constitution.
