Roosevelt Quoted in Labor
Contempt Case.
CRUELTY OF THE BOYCOTT

Attorney for Buck Stove and Range
Company Uses Statement of Pres
ident in Argument for His Clients
in Spite of the Objection Of the De-
fense-Case Now in the Hands of
the Court.
Washington, Now 18.-Arguments
In the contempt case of the Buck
Stove and Range company against
Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and
John Mitchell of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor have been concluded.
James M. Beck, Of counsel for the
stove company, made a strong plea
for his clients, in which he closely
dissected the injunction of the court
against the defendants and sought to
show that they had put themselves in
contempt by officially publishing the
company in the 1--WE don't patronize
list
The name Of President Roosevelt
and his opinion Of the boycott was in
jected into the argument of Mr.. Beck.
Counsel for the defendants objected,
1ntimating but not charging that it
was an attempt to improperly influ-
ence the court Mr.. Beck had re-
ferred to the cruelty and indefensibil-
ity of the boycott and said:
81 have very high authority for say
ing that in very recent public state
ment the president of the United
States said that of all forms of op-
preston which man had yet devised
the most cruel is the boycott"
President Not an Authority.
Attorney Ralston, for the defend
ants, objected, saying:
II certainly object to the president
of the United States being brought
into this discussion. We all have the
highest possible respect for him, but
he cannot be quoted as an authority
on matters of this kind"
Justice Wright overruled the objec-
ton, saying:
II suppose counsel in argument has
the right to adopt the words of an
other person to convey an idea if
they see fit to do so.''
Mr.. Beck thereupon proceeded with
his argument and at its close Justice
Wright took the case under advise
ment. Counsel we're allowed the priv
1lege of filing briefs on certain mat
tiers which arose during the progress
of the hearing. It is not expected
that the court will announce it's de-
cision fer several days.

SUBSCRIPTlON.--s5.OO PER ANNUM
. SHOULD BE RE.APPORTlONED THIS
WINTER.

The rank injustice to different
parts of the state in the matter of
representation in the state legisla-
ture is thus commented upon by the
Minneapolis Journal:
There is no United States SEN
ator to be elected from Minnesota
this winter so the legislature will
have nothing to distract it from the
business of legislation. :.
No excuse can be found this time
for failing to make a re:apportion-
ment of the state for legislative
purposes. The present dist riots are
grossly unequal giving one voter in
certain localities as much voice in
state affairs as four voters in some
of the growing districts of north
ern Minnesota. The present dis
t1icts we're marked out IL years
ago, and in that time there has
been a great shifting in the popu-
lation of the state. There has been
a national census, also a state census,
to show this drift, and a fair ap-
portionment can easily be worked
out by using the 1905 census re-
turns.
Two years ago reapportionment
was STAYED off by the objection of
the senators, who hold over until
1911. They did not care to pass
bill that would legislate them out of
Office two years before the allotted
time. That excuse does not exist
now. The new reapportionment bill
will have coincident effect with
terms of senate and house members.
1t is held by the attorney general
that there is no bar in the constitu-
ton to a new apportionment at any
session, and the problem is clearly
up to the members Of the 1909
legislature.
The two houses are large enough
already. A just reapportionment
will take members away from some
of the southern counties and give
them to northern territory. This
may not be to the liking of the dis
tricts that will lose, but it is only
fairness and justice.
There is no defense for a system
that gives one senator to Dodge
county, with 12,757 population in
1905, and only one senator to the
counties of Aitkin, Carlton, Cass,
Itasca and Koochiching, with
47,365 population three years ago,
now much increased.
Another district, the sixty-frst,
includes Beltrami, Clearwater, Red
Lake and Norman counties, with
54,682 population and only one
senator.
MANY such instances of rank
inequality could be cited. Henne-
pin county, for instance, has an
average of over $4,000 persons to
each senator, while three senators
from southern Minnesota have
altogether only 42,983 constituents"

A BUSY WEEK
IN H|LO TOWN

Hilo Tribune-Mr. w. NJ Giffard,
who purchased one of the Government
mountain lots at 20 miles, Volcano
Road, spent several days at the Vol
cano House last week. and while there
made arrangements for fencing his
land and also for erecting a log house.
A Louisson, the man of one idea, and
that "a protective tariff for Coffee"
was in Hilo on Saturday prmed with
all the law and facts in the case for
the information of Secretary Garfield.
If devotion to a purpose ever deserved
to be rewarded, 1t certainly does in
Mr.. Louisson's case.
Those engaged in rubber cultivation
will be interested TO know, that an
expert Is now at the Nahiku Rubber
Co.'S plantation on Maui engaged IN
tapping the oldest trees, so that infor-
nation as to results Is likely to be
obtained in the near future. There
are about 5000 trees on this plantation
which are old enough to tap.
L. A. Thurston, who had charge of
the Garfield party on their tour of this
island, was suffering from severe
cold on his arrival here, which grew
so much worse after the Volcano trip
that he was obliged to leave the party
at Hilo and RETURN by the Mauna Kea.
His place with the party was taken
by +. b. McStocker.

JUDGE PARSONS OF
H|LO ON NATURALIZATION

BY inadvertence Judge Parsons
speakers who welcomed Secretary Car
field and his escort to Hilo. Judge
Parsons spoke on the subject of natural
ization. Among other things he said:
THUS far, on this island, the franchise
has, often been unwisely exercised.
Campaign arguments against ineffi-
cheney have tx, l'F-t, - Z; n,pathy in
a portion of the electorate, and Il is
doubtful If well substantiated charges
of malfeasance in office would arouse
a sentiment sufficiently widespread to
assure the defeat for reelection of the
official against whom the charges were
made.
1T Is not unreasonable to believe that
the Grand Jury has been a strong de-
terrent force. Removed from politics
and selected as it is from the most
intelligent of our citizens, 1t has an
influence upon local affairs out of all
proportion to its powers.
THE outlook is hopeful. The Hawai-
ian leaders have shown a quick appre-
citation of our point of view. Many of
them in office have shown an under
standing of their duties and willing
ness to perform them even when such
performance has involved unpopula>
rity and its consequences. Their self
restraint and devotion to principle
would be commendable in a far older
civilization. Much is to be hoped from
their inuflence, from education, and
much also is to be hoped from the
naturalization of aliens.
During the eight years which have
passed since annexation there have
been two hundred and eighty-slx nat
publications in this circuit The in
fuence of these new citizens in total
voting population of sixteen or seven-
teen hundred is appreciable. In the not
very distant future we may expect an
accession to our registration lists of
considerable number of Hawaiian-bor
Japanese and Chinese"

LAND MEMORIAL
TO GARFIELD

Those who a week ago presented
Secretary Garfield with a protest
against the inadequacies OF the Ha-
waiian public land laws, and against
the abuses and inequalities which have
grown up under them. yesterday pre-
scented a memorial of what they be-
lieved would correct or tend to correct
the abuses which are admitted. This
was presented in response to the Sec
retary's suggestion for something con-
crete. constructive, and not destruc-
tive, in criticism.
The important and perhaps novel
feature of the proposals presented to
the Secretary is designed to prevent
the public lands from being monop-
| olized. as President Roosevelt ex-
pressed 1t, into "a region of large es.
tates TILED by cheap labor" but as he
expressed the aim should be, into u
healthy American community of men
who themselves till the farms they
own"
| The proposal is therefore that public
lands leased or given away in home
steads shall always retain their homes
stead quality, and as they are given
only to American citizens shall be held
and cultivated only by American citi-
zens
by this MEANS" the memorial pro-
ceeds. "all the remaining public lands
viii be dedicated forever to American
labor, and cannot be used for the ex-
ploitation of cheap alien labor"

BUILDING THE CATTERY
ON QUARANTINE ISLAND

However facetious the man on the
street may be over the Territorial cat
terry, for the rearing of official felnes
as rat catchers, there is nothing funny
about it so far as the Board of Health
members are concerned. 1t is health
measure recommended by DIR. Koch and
being carried out by DIR. Golfer. ----
Already a pair of cats of selected
breed, December (k) and June (w), are
in the possession of the Board of
Health, being kept in little home of
their own behind the morgue. These
quarters are only temporary, however,
as building with all the modern con-
veniences is to be built for this pair of
eats and many others on Quarantine
Island, where they may devote them
selves to the rat determination ques-
ton and bring up their children in the
way they should go after the flea dis
tributor.
There have been large number of
good mousers and ratters offered to the
Board of Health, and as soon as the
cattery is built these will be officially
adopted into the Territorial service.
1t is the hope of the Board of Health
members to have the next Legislature
pass law making it highly criminal
offense to kill any cat, making them in
Honolulu as immune from target guns
as the turkey buzzards are IN the cities
of the South.
In ancient Egypt the cat was sa-
cred animal, so there is a precedent for
law of this kind.

JAPANESE MINISTER'S
WORDS OF ADVICE

Speaking to the representative OF the
Hawaii shinpo, Minister .Arakawa,
who passed through here on the Tenyo
Maru, said that he found the condition
of the Japanese laborers very salts
factory, the men, in his opinion, being
well cared for. He stated that the
conditions here, as compared with
those in Mexico, where he is now go
ing, are far more favorable to the
Japanese, and he advised his country
men. through the papers, to be peace
full and industrious and to remain
where they are.
His advice to the Japanese press was
to use the utmost care in avoiding any,
thing that may lead to misunderstand-
people. He said particularly that there
is no anti-Japanese feeling on the
mainland, 1t being only an economical
question that is being agitated. The
agitation is against cheap labor and
does not involve any national issue.
For very good example, he said, all
Japanese except the laboring class arc
aEzseart4s the IIpited
States, and are treated with the same
courtesy as all other foreigners He
said that there is no national issue be-
tween Japan and America, and the
sensational news that appear in news
papers are fabrications. He asked the
Japanese papers not to regard any
such economic agitations as appeared
in the Western States, as anti-Japa-
nese movements, these being more
ant-cheap labor questions.
AS to the situation of the Japanese
labor in Hawaii he entertained rather
optimistic views, relying on the theory
of the survival of the fittest. He said
In part that the Japanese have sup
piled labor for the sugar industry,
which Is the mainstay of the islands,
and that he does not believe that as
long as his countrymen continue to
contribute their labor in peaceful and
Industrious manner toward the fur
therance of the interests of the islands,
they will be forsaken by the capital
lists.
The emigration of Japanese, to Mex
leo was stopped as soon as the gov
eminent found the misrepresentation
of emigration companies, and there
will be no more Japanese going there.
as Japan never wishes to irritate Wash
ington with labor questions.

New, on's Light Theory.

Sir Isaac Newton earned Worldwide
fame by showing that gravitation, pre-
viousiy recognized only at the surface
of the earth, IL operative throughout
the universe wherever there Is matter.
In another field of physics he was far
less happy. His brilliant success IN
experimental optics came to be quail
fed, though not invaIidated, by q
faulty Interpretation Of the facts. Hc
gave his name and powerful authority
to the corpuscular theory OF light. In
Sir Isaac's view, the phenomenon OF
luminosity 10 produced by corpuscles-
exceedingly minute particles Of matter
which are projected continuously
from the sun, stars and ali other lumi-
nous bodies. But his corpuscles failed
to elucidate all the appearances. and
Sir Isaac's theory was finally deposed
BY an explanation which referred light
to undulatory vibrations IN the ether.
II would be some comfort for the dis
coverer Of universal gravitation, were
he living now, to realize that the mod
ern physicist is daily dealing with cor
puscles flung OF from matter at speeds
fairly comparable with that OF lie It
self.
