PARTY
COMMITTEE OBJECTS


The Republican Territorial Central
Committee threatens to go after Land
Commissioner Pratt as a result Of his
action in the matter of substituting j.
d. Tucker for NJ. r. Lyons as chief
clerk of the land office There is talk
of refusing TO endorse Tucker and of a
roast for Pratt, but the latter bids de-
fiance to the committee.
Il am sorry for the committee if
that's the case" is what he said when
told this morning that his action was
likely to be criticized and opposed by
the Republican party organization.
The trouble is over the manner in
which the committee was consulted
about the new appointment and not
because Of any objection to Tucker
himself 1t has long been the rule that
heads of departments, and even the
governor, should recognize the party
organization at least to the extent of
appointing TO Office only Republicans
endorsed by the committee, as long as
the committee endorsed satisfactory
persons, and the custom has been FOR
the committee to pass up a list of
names for the head of the department
to pick from, while aspirants for office
have usually armed themselves with
committee endorsements before going
after the jobs they wanted.
In. the Tucker case the committee is
now being asked for an endorsement 80
after the appointment has been made
1t appears that the head of the land
Office made his change first and the
committe is to be consulted afterwards
II am in favor of laying the applica
tion to endorse Tucker on the table, ,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-01-29

said one member Of the committee. 1T
is an insult to any committee to be
asked to endorse a man after the ap-
pointmcnt has been all made and set
tied"
The matter will probably come up at
a meeting of the committee next Mon
day night Unless there is an ad-
justment il may lead to a war on
Pratt which VIII extend to the legisa-
ture and give him a warm time in the
next Senate and House
The row is famed by supporters of
Lyons, who is well known and popular.
The fact that he is a part Hawaiian
adds to the pilikia, for Hawaiians are
sore at the removal Of a part Ha-
waiian with a good record.
The reason given for the change is
that Lyons, while competent as ac-
countant, is not familiar with general
land matters, and Pratt declares that
he wants someone who can take charge
of the Office when he goes to other
islands. Here again the friends OF
Lyons have a kick, and incidentally
there is an answering complaint that
most of the departments have only one
man who can be talked to. Lyons
could learn just as well as anyone else
if given a chance" said a citizen who
does a good deal of government busl,
ness, but as in other departments in
the land Office it has always been as
sumed that the head was the only per
son who must know or do anything
important The system is carried 81
far that one can't go to a department
for the most trivial matter withou
being told to see the head

Residents OF the Liliha section Of
the Rapid Transit Company's lines held
a meeting last night and protested i'm
very vigorous terms against the char
acter Of the service given since the
courts enjoined the company from
changing its service. Threats were
made Of more proceedings in the courts
if the company does not improve the
conditions. and there was talk of action
to compel a general ton-minute service
on all the company's lines, to all sec
tions, some Of those present being of
the opinion that the Supreme Courts
decision opened the way to do so.
Among the speakers was former Gov
ernor George r. Carter, who vigorously
criticized the service. E. c. Peters,
counsel for the recent petitioners, eX-
planned the legal aspects of the case.
The basis of the complaints is the
failure of cars to connect at transfer
points. The company some time ago
decided to give up the ten minute ser
vice which the residents say had been
very satisfactory, in favor of a fifteen
minute service. The courts granted
an injunction preventing the change
and holding against the companys
claims that the business did not war
rant a ten minute service. 1t is

The steel industry however. is not
the only one which appears to be in

Some of our railroad managers still
seem determined to advance freight
rates as soon as feasible. Here agaia
is y singular lack Of both business anc
political sagacity. Public hostility 10
corporations is now beginning to sub.
side, and at last reason IS resum'n-
her wonted sway. An advance in
freight rates, however, would surely
revive the antagonism to railroads in
a worse form than before; particular
" in the interior Further higher
freight rates would depress and MOI
stimulate traffic Moreover as busi-
ness RECEIVERS traffic will revive, and
there will be less excuse for advanc-
ing rates. The railroads have already
made heavy cuts in expenses, and
when traffic reyiyes the proposed adj
vance in rates would give the rail
roads promise of bio increase in net
earnings. This woGld doubtless be
very welcome 10 stockholders; but
as this gain would necessarily be
forced out of the public pocket with
out giving any adequate equivalent in
service, the wisdom o; such q step Is
obviously questionable in view of
the recent attitude Of public opinion
toward corporations, and railroads in
particular 1t would produce the
strongest argument in favor of gov.
eminent regulation of railroad ra es
that has yet been produced.
General business shows an improv
ing tendency Confidence is gaining
steadily; and. while summer ma
prove a period of quiet, there is well
grounded hope that with a good har
vest. and with political uncertaintiet

will show steady improvement in the

sharp advance likely at this tim
when favorable elements have been
so fully discounted. Very shorty

Satisfactory results at the Chicago

ket; but the possibility OF political

Red Us White Meat.

There used to be a general notion
that red and white meats differed
considerably, in their food value
Then in 1899, two experimenters.
Offer and Rosenquist. announced
that such meats really differed little
from one another In their chemical
effects upon the body, the implica-
ton being that the choice of one
rather than the other in certain dt
seases had no justification in science
Now, according to the Medical Rec
ord, further researches disclose the
fact that while such meats are
very much alike in the raw state
cooking alters this similarity In Z
striking way. The so-called eXtrac.
t!ous OF the white meat are lost to
far greater degree during cooking
than in the case OF red meats. The
empire conclusions of the Older diet
arians are therefore, proved correct
BY a further extension of expert
ments which at first seemed to dis
prove them
