The JEFFERseNIAN STANDARD.

The Democratic tickle for the crucial
campaign of 1908 stands complete, and
both nominees were chosen by accIa-
nation. Both are men of wide expert
snce in public affairs Both are men
whose capacity fer high Office is be-
yond reasonable doubt.
John w. Kern, Of Indiana, was put
on the ticket with full knowledge that
the great battle is to be fought Westeof
Pennsylvania. The Middle West will
be the scene of tho heavy contests and
there will be lively skirmishss in the
far west. No t te west and south Of
PennsylvAnia will be conceded to the
Republicans. When the convention
adjourned without day it was filled
with hope, and the members are going
home surchargsd with that snthusfasm
which in vites victory.
All who desire q return ofthe govern
mont to the Jeffsrsonian standard
equal rights to all and special priv
1legss to none-are taking hope from
the situation. The Middle West is

SCORING SOME.

Not satisfied with the dietation ct
the nomination OF Mr.. Taft by the Re-
publican party, President Roosevelt
has gone one step farther in the alleged
Panama republic by compelling the
w~ithdrawaf0f Ssner Arias, leaving the
alone in the field, SO to speak. There
is nc race. There is to be in the nea1-
at-hand election a walkover on the
part OF the Roosevsltian candidate.
President Anador had, after the
fashion of other Latin-Amerisan Prssi-
dents, named Senior Arias as his sue
cessor, and had taken the customary
Latin-American steps ito secure his
election. All went on swimmingly I'M
til two big American battleships ap-
peored at the Isthmus, and Senior Arias
the hint at once, and withdrew
trsm the candidacy for the presidency
of his native land.
Thus another possession is added to
Uncle Sans belt, another dependeney.
perhaps we should say, for if Uncle
Sam can dictate the succession at Pan
anna in 1905 he certainly will be able
to act in a similar manner in 1912 and
so on ad infnitum.
If Mr.. Roosevelt can land Mr.. Taft
in November and Senior Obaldia this
month he will have scored two Prssi-
dents, and that would ~cetainly be scor-
ing some.

only good at the bat, but we have seen
him jump high enough to almost clear
a ten rail fence, and catch a ball in his

and called them ''pitchers." Now
they throw it and still they call them
~"pltchers," which is a misnomer. But

Last Spring my blood was
'ut of order and my system

Last Spring my blood was
out Of order and my system
was completely run down. I
needed a tonic badly. I tined
other medicines which did me
little or no good, and then I
commenced s. 8. s. I had not
used it long before Ifelt better,
and after taking it a short
while my blood was thorough
ly c1eansed and my general
health restored. s. S. s.. gave
me a fine 10 n, in

strength, and acted as a very
refreshing, invigorating tonic
to my entire system. AS a tonic
S. s. s. can not be equaled.
That is my opinion of it, and if
I could, I would induce every
one to use it in the Spring.

other medicine, and those who are beginning to feel the need of a tonic
to forhfy themselves against the unpleasant conditions which come with
Spring, should commence its use at once. Not only will it tone up

SIGNAL CORPS MAY.
BECOME |NFANT

The first move towards organizing
the four infantry companies in Homo
lulu needed to bring the First Regi-
ment, National Guard, up to full regi-
mental strength, as required by the
order of the War Department, was
taken last night when Colonel Sam
Johnson officially invited the Signal
corps to take up rifles and become an
infantry corps. This took place in
the officers meeting room in the Bun
galow after the regular signal corps
drill, the men having been given the
use of the rooms for social even
ing.
Colonel Johnson explained to the
men the necessity of placing the regi-
ment on a full strength basis, which
meant that the number of companies
must be increased from six to twelve
One new company would be formed in
Hilo, another in Lahaina, leaving four
to be raised in Honolulu. He then
mentioned the fact that the thirty
five men in the corps were practically
wasted under the circumstances as by
recruiting the corps up to company
strength it could continue to do it's
signal work and could be used as in
fantry as well. The fact, that half. the
rifle team that went to Fort Perry
last summer had been chosen from
the signal corps, showing what large
proportion of expert shots they had
was referred to. But if it came to
trouble you have only revolver" said
the Colonel.
Several other good reasons were
presented to the men why they should
join the ranks of the infantry, the
Colonel telling them to think over
these and decide at their next meet
ing. The applause that greeted the
speech indicated, however, that a good
many of them have already considered
the matter and are willing to shoulder
guns.
Il was also announced at. the social
last night that the use of the rooms
would be granted the men again
should they desire to give a dance.
This also was received with applause,
and week from Thursday practically
settled upon as the date.
At the social last night there were
music, games and refreshments, the
boys remaining until a fairly late

the prominent hydraulic engineer
under whose plans the dam is being
built, as he prepared to board the
Siberia yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Schuyler is on his way to the Orient,
and took advantage of what little time
he had in port yesterday to visit the
dam and go over the work being done.
THE contractor is going about his
work properly" continued the engin-
eer, "and when the work is finished
Honolulu will have water storage
and power developing reservoir of
which you ought all be proud. am
very much pleased at the way the
work is being carried on"
To c. H. Kluegel, assistant commits
sioner of Public Works. Mr.. Schuyler
stated very much the same thing. add
ing that the preparations at the dam
now for the going ahead and finishing
of the work were much more complete
and elaborate than those he had seen
at his former visit. To the depart
ment he had no adverse criticism to
make at all. stating that on the other
hand he was greatly pleased at what
he had seen.
Mr.. Schuyler is on his way to Japan
to look over the ground and draw up
plans for an English-Japanese syndi-
cate that is purposing installing a
power plant to develop electricity for
the trolley system of Toxic and for
electric lighting. The first plant to go
in will be located about fifty miles
from Toxic and will have a capacity
for developing seventy-five thousand
horsepower. The plant will be run
by water power from series of reser-
voirs to be confined by hydraulic fill
dams on almost exactly the same plan
as that of Nuuanu. The engineer will
be in Japan for some months and
will return home by way of Siberia,
his plans being to reach Russia in
time to take in the great annual fair
at Mil Novgorod, the greatest annual
fair in the world.

A STATEMENT FROM Mr.. CARNEY
He Shows How his Closing his Office
on April 1st was Strictly in
Compliance With Law

L learn that some criticism has been
made In regard to the doors of the tax
collectors office being closed from the
first day of April till the delinquent
tax sale list is completed, which is
usually about three weeks.
Section 558 Of the General Statutes
Of Florida Of 1906 reads as follows:
IF the taxes upon real estate shall
not be paid before the first day of
april of any year, the collector shall
advertise and sell in following manner.
He shall make out a statement of all
such real estate specifying the amount
due on each parcel, together with the
cost of advertising and expense of
sale in same order in which the land
was assessed, and such list shall be
published once each week for five con-
secutive weeks in some newspaper
published in the county" etc.
On the first day of April had sew
oral hundred letters with money in
them which had been sent or handed
to me prior to this date. and 1 had.
also, large number of large lists of
land with checks or drafts to pay
taxes on same. These letters and lists
were rendered me for taxes prior to
the date Of closing the tax books. But
owing to the great rush in the office
fCf six weeks previous to the first day
OF April / was unable to answer these
letters and write the receipts, though
working night and day, until after the
hooks closed. .. ....-.
To write the delinquent tax list for
the printers and have it published for
five weeks prior to the first day of
June (day of sale) requires much time
and great care and pains. Should err
rors occur in this list they annul the
sale of the lands. When such errors
occur the state refuses to pay the
printers and when the errors are mine
l pay the bill. So it behooves me to
he exceedingly careful in making up
this list. This I could not do with
open doors and in confusion.
1 write this to let the people know
that the closing of the doors and writ
ing up list is no arbitrary ruling of
mine. but a state law by which 1 am
compelled to abide under my oath of
office. To keep the books open for
collection of taxes after the last day
Of March would be positive violation
CT the law and could only be done by
special instructions from the state
comptroller, he having been requested
to do so through the board of county
commissioners under special emergen-
Cy conditions. =
The office will again be open for
general business on April the twenty
fifth. Very truly,
F. T., Carney

GET A SWEEPER

Why don't the city hurry up and
buy a street sweeper? AS we UNDER
stand it. hand or one-man power
sweeper with box receptacle can be
bought for approximately 800 with
which one man could easily keep the
Paved portion Of the streets in fine
shape, doing the work of two or three
inen with hand brooms. The extra
mans wages for three months will
practically pay for the sweeper, which
would certainly be fine investment
for the city.
