,ater. Unmarried labor

fuel, and water. Unmarried labor
ers are furnished sleeping quarters
Free On many of the plantations
lots of from one to ten acres of land
have been sold to the laborers at low
price and on long time; house
built free and water for domestic
use and for irrigation, If necessary
piped onto the premises free, also.
The fact that the plantations have
no means OF holding their employees
who are not satisfied with conditions,
has led to these measures being TAX
en- to make the work attractive.
When it is remembered that man
does not need to lose any time from
one years end to the other on ac-
count Of bad weather, that the cloth
ing item is light, on account of the
fact that no cold weather must be
provided for, 1t is extremely doubt
full whether the mainland laborer
who gets from $50 to $50 per month
a portion Of the year only; has house
rent, fuel, and heavy clothing bills to
pay, is as well off at the end of year
as Japanese or Portuguese laborer
on Hawaiian sugar plantation.
1t is not cheap labor that has made
sugar growing success in Hawaii,
but the fact that she has had free
market for her sugar into the United
States, and that the greatest amount
of brains has been expended in the
industry here of probably any place
in the world. The soil requires con-
slant fertilization, will not produce
more than two crops without entire
replanting, where in Cuba and many
other sugar countries from six to
dozen cuttings may be made from one
planting. The most expensive irri-
cation systems in the world have
been brought into use in Hawaii, in
some instances involving the pump
ing Of water three or four hundred
feet in elevation; while a corps of the
highest paid scientists is maintained
to combat insect pests and devise
more economical methods.
Hawaii is practically UP to her
highest capacity in sugar production,
there being but little untitled land
of suitable quality at the present
time. While it is true that there
have been some large fortunes made
from sugar in the Islands, it is also
true that some of the largest planta-
lions have never paid dividend,
and probably half of them have their

CHEAP LABOR IN HAWAII
MYTH.
Success of Sugar Planters Due to
Other Causes Which May Not Con-
tinue-Wages Paid Laborers.

HONOLULU, Hawaii, Oct. ga
good many mainland writer's who
have had occasion to refer to the Ter
ritory of Hawaii either directly or in
directly, have spoken of the work on
the sugar plantations being per-
formed by cheap Oriental labor"
Such statements have been made by
persons who have opportunity to
know the facts, but 1t nevertheless
convicts them of superficial knowl-
edge in this particular at least. The
fact that Japanese form large part
of the laboring class in the sugar
fields in the Territory, and that la
borers are known to work for but a
few cents per day in Japan, has
doubtless been the cause of the in
ference that the same conditions ex-
list here: but they don't. In fact, taxi
ing everything into consideration, it
is doubtful If the average farm hand
on the Mainland is as well paid. The
pay of the average field hand in the
Islands runs from SIS to $25 per
month according to the nature of the
work and the proficiency of the labor
err This is for ten-hour day, and
for six days in the week II the la
borer is married he is furnished
house free Of rent, and usually free

NEW POSTAL RATE.

The new postal rate went into eff
feet October /. Commencing with
that date all letters mailed in the
United States, addressed for delivery
at any place in the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, shall be
two cents an ounce or fraction of an

the postoffice department does not APP
ply to any other foreign country out
side of those above named, but to the
above countries the postage rate is
the same as the domestic rate.

siasm than the most confident Re-
publican expected. The Omaha meet
ings likewise were unprecedented in
attendance and attention"
Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson called on Senator Joseph M.
Dixon at the speakers bureau at
headquarters. He will make a
speech In Nebraska City today.
THE American farmer has not for
gotten the lesson of '93 to 81" said
Secretary Wilson. He does not
want a repetition of the conditions
which prevailed then. He knows
well that a change in governmental
policies now would bring the old con-
ditions back. The farmer now is one
of the best posted citizens of this
country. Nothing short of Taft will
attract him and he will travel forty
miles to hear Taft. Does anyone sup
pose that the American farmer is 60
ing to commit commercial suicide?
The steady Improvement in the con-
dition of the farmer has been accom-
panied by good wages for the labor
ing man. Both the farmer and the
laborer now understand the differ
ence between a protective tariff and
revenue tariff of free trade"
Secretary of the Interior James R.
Garfield was another caller who had
plenty of optimism to spread about.
He said:
The laboring people well recog-
nize Mr.. Taft's friendly attitude for
their welfare and know that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has done more for
labor than any of his predecessors.
AS the campaign proceeds Bryan's
charges against Taft with respect to
the Republican candidates position
toward labor rapidly are being prov
en- untrue. The situation in Indiana
and Ohio is good.

Neighborhood Notes

amendments proposes to change the
constitution SO that the county as
SCISSOR can employ deputies or clerical
assistance when necessary. Under
the present law the salary of this Of
fee cannot exceed three thousand dol
lars per year and he must employ his
own deputies out Of this amount. In
big county like this one the assess
or could not much more than make
an even break in this Office If it was
not for an extra allowance made in
the shape of an expense account
which covers the extra hire Of the
deputies In doing the assessment over
the county. If anyone should care
to take this matter up. 1t is a serious
question as to the legality of this
part Of the expense account and II It
should be stopped the salary would
not much more than pay the expen-
ses In this county. In smaller coun-
ties the salary would be sufficient to
pay all the work In the Office and
do the assessing as we'll.
The other amendment proposes to
change the present system of district
courts to what is properly known as
a superior court system where the
probate and district court would be
combined and judge elected for each
county. "a system similar to the one
proposed has been in effect for some
time in the state of Washington and
1t seems to give satisfaction. 1t would
give more speedy trial in criminal
cases and would thus save a consid-
cradle expense in keeping prisoners
In the county jail and most all cases
could be brought to trial quicker
than they are at the present time. The
expense would not be any greater and
saving might be made in this
change. There will have to be a
change soon in the judicial system
and this will aid matters very much.
The Herald will have more to say
on lnis matter before election -Ex-
change.

GOVERNMENT WINS VICTORY In,
BLACKFOOT RESERVOIR CON-
DOMINATION SUIT.
(Pocatello Tribune

The government won distinct vic
tory in the first trial of the five
Blackfoot reservoir condemnation
suits in the federal court in this city,
when jury yesterday in the case of
the United States VS.. Ira H. Hogan ct
al returned a verdict assessing the
value of the defendants land at $23
per acre, Mr.. Hogan contending in
court that the property was worth
$35 per acre as stock ranch. The
government agents were willing at
the time options were taken on adj
joining land to allow him an aver
age of $40 per acre. Mr.. Hogan and
the estate which he represents held
out for higher sum and a condem-
nation suit was instituted A total
OF sos acres were involved In this
case and the jury gave the defendant
judgment for $70S0. Four other sim
liar cases are on the calendar for
this term of federal court, but they
may be compromised, as the various
defendants appear willing to accept
the verdict of the Hogan jury as cor
rect. The case was handled for the
government by United States District
Attorney Lingenfelter, assisted by
Thomas l.. Martin of Boise, as special
counsel. The defendants interests
were looked after by Standrod & Ter
rell.

THE PARTY OF THE YOUTH
Why Youag Men Vote the Republican
Ticket.

1t is not without significance thai
young men who have just attained
their majority are found, as rule
voting the Republican ticket. The
reason is plain. Those young men
! look on the Republican party as the
party OF hope, the party of promise
and of performance, the party for
whose candidates they will be proud
to say in later years that they cast
their first ballot, the party whose
past needs no apology, no balm of
oblivion for blunders and for crimes,
no record OF slavery, rebellion and at
tempted reputation, each stamped
out In its turn by American freemen
under Republican leadership.
The Republican party is eminently
the party of youth. With Republicans
the memory of the glorious past Is
but an incentive to make the future
still more glorious. To the DemocrA
cy is left the congenial occupation of
toundering in the marsh of bygone
Democratic vagaries, lured on by
some new and delusive will-o' the
wisp to the quagmire of quadrennial
failure.
The youthful voter finds no attrac-
ton in such company He prefers to
march forward on firm ground, with
the party OF Lincoln, of Grant, Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt, of Taft and
Sherman and Hughes-of nearly ev-
cry great American, living and dead,
whose career has added luster to the
closing .half of the old century and
the beginning of the new. The young
man prefers the Republican party be-
cause 1t holds out prospect for his
own advancement, because in build
ing up the nation as whole 1t offers
fresh opportunities to the individual,
because under Republican admin
stratlon there Is a fair field for ev-
eryone, and every citizen is protect
ed in the enjoyment of that which he
has rightfully acquired.
The new voter who takes his place
in the Republican ranks and casts his
ballot for Taft and Sherman will have
the satisfaction not only of sharing
in the Republican victory, but also
Of knowing that he has helped to as
sure prosperity for the country at
large and an immeasurably better
chance in life for himself and those
Ia whom he Is interested than If the
larpies Of Organism had been per-
nitted to befoul the feast.
