HELLUPi HELLUPi

IS the trumpet cry of the Re-
publican elephant. He scenteth
danger afar off, and his old ears
fancy they hear the noise of the vic
torious Democratic captains and the
shouting, and with fear in his little
eyes and with his forehead corrugated
in wrinkles he trumpeteth: "Once again
the Times urges harmony in the ranks
of the Republican party. 1t seems as.
if this were a moment when the ap-
peal would receive a ready hearing.
The personal quarrels were not
of our making (hellup, hellupD and we
deprecated time and again all such
dissensions. Our contention was for
principles, not for persons. The
securing of a delegation to Chicago

in question. 1t was a mere detail, and
a small one. who should go to Chicago
to cast the ballots of the state for Mr..
Taft. That matters little now.
To nominate Mr.. Taft will be easy.
elected Here again half a hundred
times the Times has pointed out that
the Republican party can be defeated
only by the party Political blunder-
ing may defeat us. Political dissen
sion is sure to defeat u.s. We are di-
vided in this state"
Why won't the Republicans be good
boys? Why will they persist in cut
ting up at inopportune times? Why
won't they listen to the voice of rea-
son, which is that of the bosses? Be
cause throughout the United States
there are evidences of a revival of
Americanism. which is a great deal
older than the "Republicanism" for
which our contemporary pleads so
yearningly, and is immeasurably beta
ter "Republicanism!" That is the
worst ism of all, because it does not
mean anything but party spoils, and
the reason why one branch of the par
ty is appealing to the other branches
for help is because there is a reason
able probability that disunion will de-
prive all the branches of any of the
spoils. There are in the Republican
party many high principled men who
believe in political independence The
question of spoils does not concern
them. They are patriots. Their ac-
tions show they are citizens first, poll
ticians afterward. But no one can
deny that to many others Republican,
ism is Synonymous with revenue. They
see the chance of revenue growing
small by degrees and beautifully less"

pearing altogether. So, HELLUP!

Hawaii merely a stepping stone to the

the whole burden of the blunder of per-

orientalized. At first they came under
contract as contract laborers; in other

GOODBYE

The shades of night were falling fast,
when from a cottage swiftly passed
A youth and maid: they reached the gate.
He stopped to whisper Darling Kate,
Good-bye!'
An hour had gone to where hours go
Just where that is I do not know.
But needless of times ebb and flow.
He held her hand and murmured low,
Good bye."
The pale new moon from up on high
Looked down and heard each loving lie.
He almost droped down from the sky,
The thousandth time he heard them sigh,
Goodbye"
"Oh, goi" the maiden cried. ''please do!
Before my father catches you.
For IL he comes. dear heart. you may,

u give money for the conversion of
heather savages to the Christian reli-
gion, and derive part of their incomes
from the labor of children who should
be in the nursery or at school. Yes, IN

the savages are the heather. The

q dozen such issues. And then, too, the
japanese who were born on the islands
are citizens. When they reach 81
they will have the right to vote.
Whether they will gain control of af-
fairs or not not question for the
immediate future, but IL certainly will
not be long until they are potent fac
tor in politics.
But more potent even than this po-
litical force is the awe of King Sugar,
from which no Hawaiian may declare
himself free. The islands live by
sugar they have sacrificed many
things for sugar; the sugar barons are
it's business giants, and sugar needs
cheap labor. Even yet the sugar
planters, OIL some of them, have hopes
that the United States will remove the
restrictions from Chinese labor and will
admit them to the islands. Some OF
them chafe at the recently imposed
restriction of Japanese labor, but even
the sugar barons as a whole seem to
see that the Japanese were becoming
too numerous. The threatened buying
I'D of sugar stocks by Japanese capital
may have had something to do with
their attitude. Among the more pro-
Gressive planters are men who realize
that Hawaii ought not to bring in any
more orlentals, even IL II could, and
these are looking to the south of Eu-
rope for relief.
Although they came to Hawaii at the
invitation of the sugar planters and
the Hawaiian government, the Jap
anese have become the masters of the
social and industrial life of the terri
tory More than 10000 were brought
in under iron-clad contracts In the
years between 1885 and 1890. The tide

Concrete in Road Improvement.

Recognizing the fact that good
roads are absolutely essential if a
state or community is to progress,
Pennsylvania has enacted laws des-
igned to promote highway improve
ment by providing appropriations for
work Of that character. In developing
the good roads movement the High
way Department found hat concrete
had become an exceedingly import
ant factor, owing to its great econo-
my and durability, says Cement Age,
New York. This has been shown by
practical experience and observation,
and matters have reached the point
where the state has deemed it necess-
airy to provide plans and ~specifcat-
ions for drains, ~cu1verts and bridges.
The plans are prepared by competent
engineers in order that contractors
may use concrete intelligently and e.
economically. Good results are certain
to follow this policy. 1t will mean the
standardization of important work
heretofore conducted on the hit or
miss plan. It was a difficult matter
for the contractor to build concrete
bridges without previous experience
and he was forced to bid high in ord
er that he might provide for every
contingency, the result being, in some
cases, prohibitive figures so far as
concrete was concerned. Now, howev-
er, the whole matter has become SIM
%plified, and concrete will undoubted,
ly become the favorite material in ev-
cry class of Dad work requiring the
use of masonry or IRON Or terra cot
ia piping. This will mean better work
and cheaper work than has been the
rule In the past.

Reinforced Concrete Bridges.

Steel bridges are rapidly becoming
a thing Of the past in Indiana. The
earliest steel bridges were built in
the cary sos. and as the life of a steel
bridge does not usually exceed TWEEN
ty-ive Or thirty ear under condit-
ions of highway traffic it is apparent
that the time is soc coming when the
earliest of the steel bridges will have
collapsed under some unusual load
of a steam road roller or traction en-
CINE. The number of such failures is
becoming alarmingly frequent, says
Cement Age, New York. Many coun-
ties of Indiana have discontinued the
building Of steel bridges and are now
building Of reinforced concrete in
stead, because Of the permanence of
this type of construction and its free
dom from repairs. Reinforced con-
crete bridges have many advantages
such as absolute permane1ce, hand
some appearance, gravelled road way,
and freedom from flood renewals.
wabash County, Indiana, built its
first concrete bridges in 1902, and
since thai time has built upwards of
100 arches up to so DOT span. Since
1903 no steel bridges have been built
in this county.
