THE REPUBLICAN REDwINE.

The proceedings at the First dis
trict Republican convention at Padu-
cab were. as revolutionary and as de-
structive of all forms OF popular gov
eminent as anything that occurred
during the famous Music Hall conven-
tion in 1899, says the Louisville
Evening Post.
If 1t is by tactics such as used at
Paducah that the Fairbanks men ex-
pect to carry Kentucky, then they
must expect also to give up all hope
of ever figuring as a live party in
kentucky
The Taft men had aNclear majority
Of the delegates. There were many
contests. but the regular party chair
men had certified to the election of a
majority of Taft delegates.
BY every rule of fairness the regu-
lar delegates would have settled the
contests. Mr.. Deboe, a Fairbanks
man, and in the minority, undertook
to settle them. First, he ruled that
the certificate of the regular county
chairman was binding and put a
Fairbanks man on the credentials
committee. Then he reversed himself
in another county, and ruled that the
certificate of the regular chairman
was not binding. BY rulings of this
kind the chairman gave the Fairbanks
men a majority on the credentials
committee.
The Taft majority, therefore, wise
ly left the convention and will contest
the whole proceeding.
The Evening Post submits that
nothing done by Redwine at the
Music Hall convention was more revo-
lutionary than what was done b.
Deboe at PadHcah.

II you speak of the thriving planta-

crater. If you want TO go up another

trees, mangoes and alligator pears.
Kilanea is the biggest thing in the

MISUNDERSTANDING THE SENA-
TOR.

TOR.
Senator w. o. Bradley probably
doesn't know of the use being made
lof his name and the exalted dignity
OF his office, to which he was elected
by representatives of the whole Re
publican party in Kentucky. Senator
Bradley himself has acclaimed
against the use of coercion to line up
party workers for presidential candi,
dates, and he no doubt would be the
first TO cry shame at NJ. II. Thatcher,
who is writing to postmasters in the
First and other Democratic congress
sional districts, advising them to line
up for Fairbanks and adding that
senator Bradley is for Fairbanks
AS United States senator from Ken,
lucky he will control the patronage
of the Democratic districts" These
letters are sent to federal Office hold
ers' who are supporting Secretary
Taft, and If the purpose of them is
not intimidation, why does he add
"You should not feel afraid to at least
take no active part for Taft?"
Senator Bradley is not cognlzant OF
Thatcher's action, we are certain; for
Senator-elect w. o. Bradley has too
high a sense of the responsibility and
obligations of his Office to even know
ingly suffer such practices. Senator
elect Bradley himself said:
Each and every Republican is en-
titled to select his candidate for presi-
dent without dietation or fear from
any source. high or low"

ABOUT PERSONALITIES.

Even a newspaper man has some
rights, which other newspaper men
and the public generally are bound to
regard, and one of those rights is 10
defend his personal and professional
reputation from SANDER. That right
is hereby invoked by the managing
editor of The Sun, as an excuse Tor
replying to a nasty insinuation from
a person the writer has always avoid
ed offending. Nor does the caressing
term "a gentleman, who is a reliable
newspaper man ordinarily" detract
any from the force of the kick which
follows the caress The managing
editor OF The Sun has too many good
friends to seek friendship or compli'
ments OF that kind.
The managing editor Of The Sun
yesterday felt justified in employing
short and ugly words" to denounce
the use of a single clause from
paragraph of an article in the Courier
Journal to condemn him, and his
rancor is not modified any today BIZ
finding an alleged quotation OF the
whole article in substantiation of the
charge against him, with the para
graph containing the sentence he
complained of yesterday omitted with
this brief reference: Then comeA
the sentence containing the sentiment
quoted yesterday" The purposeful
editors first impression.
II a newspaper man loses his repu-
tation as a newspaper man, his per-
sonal reputation is sadly besmirched.
Nobody ever guarded his professional
character more jealousy than has the
managing editor of The Sun, and
neither friendship nor prejudice has
ever caused him to write a line de-
signedly false, always keeping II,
mind the policy of the paper for
which he was writing, and endeavor-
ing to conform to that papers point
of view.
If he has any reputation as "a
gentleman. who is a reliable news
paper man, ordinarily" it Is due to
the training he received on the
Courier-Journal, and perhaps, II the
aspersions on his character had been
made in connection with his CORE
spondence in any paper on earth other
than the Courier-Journal, he would
have passed them by with a smile at
the impotent malice of the attack.
But in this instance a rather tender
spot was touched.
Long association with the Courier
Journal has developed abiding respect
for the newspaper profession, and a
regard for the fairness of the papers
news policy too deep set for any con-
siderations of the moment to over
come. That regard for the Courier
Gated in too many instances for the
managing editor of The Sun to vio-
late that sacred confidence. No, not
even were his present position and
association at stake, would he mis-
represent conditions or facts inten-
tionally In that or any other news
paper. The managing editor of The
Sun has little else than his .profes.
sional character as a permanent asset,
and that is not for sale, neither is IL a
thing at which the writer of vlndletiye
paragraphs may fling his reckless as

carnations, camelias or jasmine, with
glossy, green leaves. Women, who
make them, sit along the streets in
Honolulu with baskets of flowers and
completed wreaths beside them; their
fingers busily engaged in weaving
others. So universal is this custom
of wearing these flowery adornments
that every native one meets has neck

dewy wreath. Time was, no doubt,
when these were all of their adorn-
