NOT FIGHTING CAPITAL,

The Troy News is not fighting the
Potlatch Lumber Company. We are
not opposed to anything this or any
other company ought to have. On the
contrary the News feels very friendly to
this company, and are pleased that they
have come here and are giving employ
ment to hundreds of men. We are glad
to have capital come to Idaho and in
vest, and especially to invest in Latah
county. And we want it understood
that this paper has not, nor never will,
with our consent, oppose anything this
company, or any corporation, of right,
ought to have. We are, however, OPP
posed to the granting of special privi-
lodges to corporations, and will, as we
have, oppose to the bitter end, every
attempt on the part of corporations to
grab public property and impose mon
opoly on the people. We want capital.
but want such capitahas is willing to do
business on an equal basis with private
citizens. We want capital that is will
private citizens, but are opposed to i'm
posing one cent of unjust taxes. We
want capital that is not trying to rob
the state of her rivers and her natural
resources, and corporations that will not,
on every pretext, steal the people blind.
We want capital that is willing to live
up to its obligations to the state, on a
square basis with other men, and if the
Potlatch Lumber Company is not that
kind of corporation we are against it..
But in anything in which it is right and
fair it will find a friend in the Troy
News. 1t will find the News opposing
nothing it ought to have, and fighting
for it in any measure that is not opposed
to public interest. The News believes it
voices the sentiment of the people when
we say that there is no desire on the
part of the people to oppose anything
t is or any company ought to have.
The people desire only Square DEAL

In Salt Lake the Hartman interests,
together with other transportation COM
panies, have been found guilty OF form
ing coal trust and OF holding up the
price of fuel. A dealer reduced the
price of coal fifty cents per ton under the
trust price and the railroads immediate
ly cut off the supply and ran the indie
pendent dealer out of business. The
federal government took up the matter
and the companies were successfully
prosecuted. The fine may run up to
$1,000 and year in Jail, but will not
turn out like the s29, 100000 Standard

And now the republican papers, the
same ones that swallowed the last batch
of platform reputation, are out declar-
ing that platform pledge is binding,
and that the republican platform must
be carried out And if it is not carried
out? Well, they will line up, get into
the band wagon and vote the republican
ticket straight. The Troy News will not
do it. We believe that platform
pledge is binding, and that no honest
man will attempt to go back on a pledge
or promise, even if it be political
pledge given for the purpose OF getting
votes.

Do you know that eastern Latah coun-
ty is the cream of the agricultural land
in Latah county, and yet has never had
square deal on roads? And is this not
matter that ought to be seriously con-
sidered? These people are entitled to a
square deal, AID the Troy News proposes
to see that they get it. The Park coun-
try has no way of getting to market ex-
cept over road that is impossible four
months out of the year, and never is
good. People who have lived in this
section nineteen years, and who have
been paying taxes all this time, declare
that unless the county gives them due
consideration they will be forced to leave
their homes and possibly the county.
They have put up with no roads as long
as they can stand it. 1t is an outrage
and disgrace. Land that, with roads.
would readily bring $50 per acre, cannot
be sold for more than half that figure at
the present time. And all because
farms that are not available to market
are of little value.

Guns to Be Assembled to Equip Auxiliary

guard, may go into camp on Army land
near the mouth of the harbor. There
are no accommodations for them at Fort
Shafter. In the special cablegram to
the Advertiser of about year ago, it
was said that a cavalry regiment was
coming here to take post at Leilehua,
near Wahiawa. Probably post nearer
the zone of duty will be preferred.
It is reported in local military circles
that a score or more of fve-inch guns
will be assembled here to be used in
equipping American passenger steamers
like the Korea, Siberia, Mongolia, Man
churia, Alameda and China as auxiliary
steamers. Machinery for their quick
installation will also be provided.

Honolulu, October 26, 1908.
f'To my Hawaiian Friends, Voters of
the County of Oahu:-I had intended
to keep out of this campaign, but the
same people who opposed me when /
ran as candidate for Sheriff in the last
campaign are the same people who are
now opposing the election of the Coun.
ty Attorney of the County of Oahu
Mr.. John w. Cathcart, the present
County Attorney, is now being abused
by the Advertiser and the same people
who opposed me in the last campaign
because he saw no reason why he should
listen to Mr.. L. A. Thurston and the
Advertiser in regard to appointing me
as his assistant in the Dictrict Court
and these same people are now oppos-
ing the election of John w. Cathcart
so that they can put me out of Office
again.
"That is the only reason they have
for opposing John w. Cathcart. No
one knows better than I do how well
qualified he is for the position. The
charges of the Advertiser, which they
give as their reasons. are false and they
cannot prove them. The judges of the
Territory and the members of the Bar
Association vouch for his good work in
prosecutions in the Territory.
my dear friends, the time has come
when we should teach Mr.. Thurston and
the Advertiser something that they
have never known before. 1t is time
that they should know that they cannot
run this Territory and ruin men IS
names without proving their charges.
my dear friends, l am asking for
you all to get in and vote for John w.
Cathcart on November 3 for County At
torney for the County of Oahu. IF
YOU WANT TO SUPPORT NE, GIVE
HIM YOUR VOTE AS YOU WOULD
GIVE 1T TO NE IF I WERE RUN
MING FOR OFFICE.
CHS ELECTION IS MY VICTORY
AND IF HE FALLS I FALL WITH
HIM. Mr.. THURSTON AND THE
ADVERTISER PEOPLE ARE THE
ENEMIES OF THE HAWAIIAN PEO-
PIE, the people who are now trying to
take away your franchise and let the
country be governed by a commission
from Washington.
Therefore, my fellow citizens, vote
for John w Cathcart, the man whom
the Advertiser is trying to down by
trickery Your sincere friend,
ga. M. BROWN"

LINK TALKS On
LAND HOLDINGS
Takes Up the Published List
and Hands Out a
Few.

The Democrats in their country dis
trict campaign reached Waialua last
night and a big meeting was held
there which was addressed by all the
senatorial, city and county, and Fifth
District candidates, and by Candidate
for Congress MeCandless.
A good deal of what MeCandless said
was brought out by the publication by
the Republican campaign committee of
the list of his land holdings stThe
Democratic party he said, has con
Quoted this campaign as O. campaign of
education in principles of government.
All its literature issued and distrib-

OF this kind. In ali my speeches until

which / did not say, and which my
whole record goes to prove ! did not
say, have discussed principles which
are of Importance to the Hawaiian
people, as / believe.
The Republicans, unable to meet
the issue of principles, first resorted
to misrepresentation of the position of
the Democratic party on the land issue
and on other issues, and then to mis-
representation of me and of my posi-
tion and my speeches on the subject.
They were trying to throw dust in your
eyes They were trying to dodge the
issue They were trying to hide their
own failure to keep their promises.
They pledged themselves in their plat
form two years ago to secure from
Congress such an amendment of the
Organic Act as would enable the Ha
waiian Legislature to amend the pub
lie, land laws Did they do it? No,
they didn't even try to do it. Their
Delegate didn't even introduce bill
to do it. But what he did do was to
get Congress to amend the Organic
Act so that the plantations could get
control of large areas of agricultural
land by leases for fifteen years, in
stead of for only five years as it was
before. That is how the Republicans

WELCOMED HEARTILY
To JAPAN's SHORES

The Yokohama and Toxic papers
give extended accounts of the arrival
and entertainment of the representa-
tives of the Pacific Coast chambers of
commerce who left here on the Tenyo
Maru. The Japan Times says:
The streets of Yokohama were
daintily decorated with the American
and Japanese flags, and paper lanterns
bearing the same colors. The main
streets were draped, in red and white
all along both sides.
About O'Clock, when the Oriental
Steamship Company's Tenyo Maru an
chored beside the quarantine vessel.
fireworks were discharged, and the cit
izens flooded towards the hatoba. The
members of the reception committee,
in silk hats and frock coats, riding IN
long train of kuruma, each bearing a
small American flag, greatly attracted
the attention of the spectators.
These gentlemen assembled at the
landing place near the custom house,
and waited for the arrival of the bust
ness men. There was also present
large party of newspaper men, direct
ing their kodaks towards the point
where the visitors would first tread
japanese SOIL
/, At 9!30 the steam launch carrying
the party arrived at the landing-place.
A band from the Grand Hotel struck
up welcome melody, and the business
men and ladies in the party stepped
ashore.
They were received by Mr.. Nakano,
president of the Toxic Chamber of
Commerce, and other delegates of the
chambers of commerce.
The address of welcome was made
by Mr. Nakana and was responded to
by Mr.. Dohrmann of San Francisco.
Mr.. Nakano's s address, made into
scroll and enclosed in beautiful box,
was presented to one representative OF
each of the ten cities.
The party then rode on in the kuru-
ma collected by the reception commit
tee, to the Grand Hotel. The chair
men of the japanese chambers accom-
panied them to the hotel.
At the entrance to the hatoba, there
was erected green arch, bearing the
letters. Welcome,
and decorated with the Stars and
Stripes and the Sun flags. There was
a large coneourse of people in the
neighborhood, eager to welcome the
guests. They also seemed to genuine
lv appreciate the cordial sentiment ex-
pressed by the japanese.

Affairs. gave a luncheon to the party.

age over. was elected vice president of

The dictionary misled this paper yes
terday in describing a squadron of
cavalry as a body consisting of two
troops or mounted companies. Inquiry
of the Officer of the Day at Fort Shat
ter yesterday develops the fact that a
squadron consists of four troops and
that each troop contains 100 men. By
this token Honolulu may expect caval-
~ force of 500 men with line, field
staff officers and band added.
The Colonel of the Fifth Cavalry, to
which command the assigned squadrons
belong, is Walter S. Schuyler, relative
of J. D. Schuyler, the engineer who ex-
ported the Nuuanu dam, and lineal
descendant of Major General Philip
schuyler, of the Revolutionary Army.

Yesterday was a warm day for polit-
zeal workers in the city despite the fact
that practically all the candidates on
both the regular party tickets were out
of town. The soap-box orators were
IN fine feather, the runners hustled
around on the jobs and there were thou
sands of pamphlets in Hawaiian scat
tered among the voters on the sl-eet
and distributed in house to house fash
ion.
Mary Ateherley was the star attIac-
tion on the soap-box. The leper doe
tors better half climbed up on the
pedestal at one o'cloek and talked in
a steady stream of arguments for over
an hour. She told a political tale of
which John c. Lane was the villain and
all the heroes wore Democratic clothes
She accused Lane of treason TO his
people over the way he acted as chair
man of the Committee of Ten in the
Wallaeh affair. She also roasted the
Board of Health and the Advertiser.
Her speech attracted large crowd
and there was much cheering and at
times excitement enough among the Ha-
waiian voters present to bring up the
fighting blood, requiring the active in
reference of a policeman to keep the
peace.
Mrs. Atcherley urged the election of
Joe Fern as Mayor, advising the voters
to mark their ballots either for Fern
or Achi, because, she added ga vote for
Aehi is vote for Fern and one taken
away from Lane.'' A diversion in her
monologue was caused when a string of

ders. ''Just look at those boys she

One of the extraordinary documents
of the campaign was that circulated
yesterday in the Catheart interest,
presumably by the candidate and his
little crowd. Certainly not by the Re,
publican Committee, which has members
who would not sanction the statements
made nor the desperate appeal in the
name of A. NJ Brown, a man whose
threatened eandidature some time ago
brought out the fat-footed statement
that the business men of the commu
nifty would not contribute a cent to
the campaign fund if Brown was on
the ticket.
