serious. the Matson Navigation Com
pany found psychological moment
and the business men of Honolulu an
excuse. The former had "a first-class
steamer and transportation improve
ment to offer. The latter were glad
to cease their wandering into what
had seemed to them the doubtful
areas Of free trade.
Governor Frear does not approve
this change of front because It inter-
feres with the program he had laid
down with the President and Secre-
tary Garfield.
President Roosevelt may write a
letter and speak of Honolulans as an
aggregation Of milk-sops and molly
coddles. He cannot understand why
the people of this Territory should
oppose free trade with the Philippines
or endeavor to reciprocate favors by
alliances with the people of the main
land as pronounced as we of Hawaii
are In their protective tariff views.
Much as Roosevelt loves us or as
Taft, who comes after. holds us in
high esteem, they would see no harm
In Hawaii being given a decreased
measure of industrial protection on
the argument that the Territory has
been granted special transportation
laws and is therefore not in post
l'tion to demand exemption from un-
favorable sugar-tariff reductions.
1t all depends on the point OF view
A canvass of the inside convictions OF
our business men would probably
bring out the fact that they believe
the partial repeal of the coastwisG
shipping law would place this Terri
tory at tactical disadvantage in the
general tariff protection fight that Is
to take place next spring.
They may be wrong. Roosevelt
and Frear may be right.
There is no doubling that the Ter
ritory Of Hawaii can better suffer
! the Inconvenience of the coastwise
shipping law, with new passenger
boat building, than jeopardize its in.
dustrial future by jumping the Pro
lection traces.
The changed attitude on the coast
wise law amendment is an expression
Of Hawaiis stand-patism, and no ex
tended argument or campaigning wal

EXPECT NO FRAUD

LIHUE. Kauai. Dec. 5.-The Gar
den Island says editorially:
Whatever may have been the case
in Honolulu, 1t is highly improbable
that fraud was perpetrated in count
ing up the ballots OF the contending
candidates at the last election here
on Kauai. When Chas. Blake, the
defeated candidate for Auditor, sues
for recount 1t is probable that he
alleges error, not fraud. And the pos
sibility of an error must always be
admitted. 1t would therefore seem
not only fair but even polite that a
recount be allowed. as It would both
allay the suspicious, harbored in GER
tain quarters, that unfair means had
been resorted to, and spoil the
chance looked for by certain dis
gruntled candidates that they might
explain refusal of a recount In a
manner that would suit their partic-
ular purpose the best two years
hence.

FOR EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION

The telegram of Secretary Garfield
is mighty good news for the Territory
Of Hawaii and the cause of EuropeaL
immigration.
II means that the Federal Govern
ment will, as never before, get behind
the immigration movement, which
will have noe only moral support but
active prodding,
II has been known from the outset
that the European immigration pol
icy was an Administration policy. In
view of the Department officers lend
ing their influence to assist Trenor.

European immigrants may not he so
far away as many would have MS be-
lievc
Having the approval of the Prest-
a time when the former at least is
about to go out Of office, we may
rest assured that the program will ia
all probability be forwarded agrees
sively by the incoming Administra-
ton.
President-elect Taft may be de-
pended upon to advance the cause of
European labor in these Islands. 1t
is one of the necessities of a stronger
Americanism and an increased citi-
zen population.

lie should also understand that there
is more than one reason for the re-
vcrsal of business resolves.
On the surface, the change was
brought about by the request of the
Matson Navigation Company for sup
port.
II is very doubtful, however, that

such an important measure as tho
Coastwise shipping law could be so
quickly transformed into opposition

last, and always for the Protection
principle.
When the movement for coastwise
law suspension was first mooted tho
basis of the quiet but very positive
opposition was that In securing an
exception for Hawaii the first break
would be made In the wall of pro-
lection from the benefits of which
this Territory shared equally with
the mainland. At times this share
has involved very many hardships on
account of conditions here that are
unlike anything with which the
mainlander has to contend.
Nevertheless, rather than endan-
ger the Territory with unfavorable
exceptions, the people We're willing
to bear the hardships-we must have

was to have been taken to Reno in

NEW ROLL CALL OF HOUSE
PREPARED; TOTAL INCREASED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The tenn
porary roll call of the house of repre-
senatives for the Sixty-first congress
has been completed and published. 1t
represents a complete list of the MEM
bers of the new house as shown by un-
official returns, and gives the politics Of
all of them.
According to this publication the next
house will consist of 219 Republicans
and 172 Democrats, a total OF Ssl, as
against a total of 3S9 in the house dur
ing the last session. of whom 223 were
Republicans and 166 Democrats.
The result is a net loss of four from
the Republican side, and net gain of
six on the Democratic side. the dis
crepancy being due to present va
cancies.
All told the Democrats gained sew
enteen districts and the Republicans
twelve. The most marked advance
made by the Democrats was in In
diana. the home of Mr.. Bryan's run
ming mate, Mr.. Kern. OF the entire
thirteen members constituting the In
diana delegation, only two will be Re
publican in the next congress, whereas
in the present congress there are eight
Republicans from that state.
Mr. Bryan's own state of Nebraska
added two to the Democratic column
in the house, making an equal division
of the six members from that state.
The most striking accretions of the
Republicans were made in North Caro-
lima, where three members were taken
from the Democratic column, and in
Oklahoma, where there was gain of
two Missouri and Pennsylvania also
switched two members each from the
Democratic to the Republican side,
and New Jersey, Rhode Island and
Wisconsin each supplied one TO the
Republican additions.
Otherwise than as here noted, the
various state delegations will remain
as at present.

FRICTION
WITH JAPANESE
PRESIDENT ISSUES LETTER TO
QUIET FEARS
United States Declared Not to Be
Forcing Nippones Hand Rela-
tive to Manchuran
Policy

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The at
tention of the administration was
again directed to the publications in
dicating it to be the purpose of the
United States government to force
Japan's hand with q view to securing
assurances regarding her intentions
toward Manchuria.
Denial was made both at the White
House and at the state department
that there Waaa any friction with japan
or that such a request or demand had
been made.
As a matter of fact, all that has
been done, as stated in Associated
Press dispatches, was to make an ef-
fort to secure a more definite state
ment from Japan touching her posi-
tion in Manchuria. she having given
more definite assurances to the other
countries having interests in Asia
than to the United States.
The White House statement follows:
1.-THE statement that there has been
any friction between the state depart
and and the Japanese government is
entirely erroneous.
"On the contrary, the relations be-
tween the two governments have been
constantly growing closer and the
understanding better. The statement
as to there being any friction is not
merely unwarranted, but the direct
reverse of the facts"
This was issued from the state de-
partment:
"There is no foundation whatever
for the statement that any demand or
request or suggestion in any form has
been made by the state department to
Japan to declare or define its position
in China or regarding China.
Japan has repeatedly, and recently,
in an informal agreement with Russia,
France and England, declared her
purpose to maintain the independence
and integrity of China, and her policy
is we'll known to be entirely in har-
mony with that of the United States.
I'm fact the relations between Japan
and the United States were never
closer or better than they are this
moment, and there is no question
whatever at issue between the two
countries"
