CONGRESS INCONSISTENT
ON MINING APPROPRIATION

Congress is playing fast and loose
on the sundry civil bill. 1t quluDles
over and turns down the amendment
for an appropriation of $4,000 for an
investigation looking to the increased
safety of mining and then appropriates
100000 or a quarter of a million for
some comparatively unimportant
scheme II 81 ,0Oo, 900 would result in
such increased safety in coal and other
mines of the United States as to pre-,
vent in a year one-fifth the loss of life
due 10 mine disasters, It would be
money judiciously and humanely' spent
by a paternal government Within a
month last December over 1000 min
ers lost their lives in Western Penn
sylvania, Northern West Virginia ana
Alabama through explosions that
might have been prevented if better
mining laws had been in force in
those states.
Investigations following these ex-
plosions developed weak pro visions
of the laws and negligence to con
siderable extent on the part of com,
panies operating these ili-fated mines
This statement is not made idly and
not without knowledge of the facts.
The trouble with Congress these
days is that it has too many hypocriti-
cal watch dogs of the treasury playing
to their constituent galleries back
home at the expense Of wise and urg-
ent legislative measures. And strange
to note, some of these representatives
are credited as statesmen and brainy
men in congress.

REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES.

While Mr.. Bryan's name may DC
the only name presented to the dem
ocratic convention in Denver, it
seems quite certain that more than
enc candidate is to be presented to
the republican convention in Chicago,
1t is given out that the name Of Gov
ernor Charles E. Hughes will not be
withdrawn from the presidential can
yass until the national convention at
Chicago has made its choice OF caa-
dldates. This statement was made

The HEARST LEAGUE.


We are not hearing much of the
Hearst league during the last few
weeks. This league Yves formed for
the sole purpose OF furthering the
personal ambition of the yellow jour
nalist or to wreak mis- vengeance up
on those VINO have refused to be
debauched by his immense wealth.
This being the case it is not surpris-
ing that the public should lose in
terest in it. The Hearst league was
the outcome of the candidacy of Lit
tie Willie for the democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency which never
had any foundation not builded with
Hearst dollars. When the St. Louis
convention adjourned four years ago
Hearst found himself shy about one
million dollars and nothing to show
for 1t.
In attempting to buy the nomina-
ton of the democratic party Hearst
discovered that he had applied at
the wrong door for admission. He
succeeded in several states, as he did
in Arizona, in finding those who were
willing to ride an upward wave as a
result of his money, but the demo
cratic party of the country refused
to sanction a candidate for president
who had nothing but a swollen purse
to recommend him. Since then
Hearst has found no virtue in that
party and notwithstanding his was
the only paper to support Bryan in
1896 he is today heading a movement
which may cost that spotless states.
man the state OF New York in the
presidential race this fall. 1t is quite
natural that such a course should in,
yite the indignation of democrats
throughout the country. such as is
voiced in the following from the Los
Angeles Herald:
ct is to be feared by Hearst and
his merrie men that the independ,
ence league will be more of a one,
man concern this year than ever be
for. No one takes much interest in
it. The public refuses to become en-.
thuslastic over Willie Hearst When
we hear a crowd cheering for him
we know the cheers are bought at
90 much per boiler, and they produce
as much effect as the huzzas of SUI
pers at a dime theater. w. also Ran.
dolph has not yet given any satisfac-
tory proof that beyond Hearst there
is any reason for the existence of the
independence league. The name
should be changed TO the Hearst
boom league" Independence league
signifies nothing, and the name con-
veys no meaning, 1t needs to be ex-
planned. Hearst boom league means
what it says, and is expressive. We
think the Hearst editorial council
should take this matter up at the
next meeting. If they are determined
to present Mr.. Hearst to the public
in the role of a monologue entertain
err let them tell the public why he is
soliloquizing If the name of the
league were changed as suggested

NICK hurley
HAS PILIKIA

WALLACE, Idaho, January 10.-The
sherfff's department believe they have
located Nick Burley, prizefighter. who
is wanted here on the charge of abb
Quoting Emma Bolander, young girl
of Mullin, and it is all because Burley
failed to keep his pledge and remain
out of the squared ring.
Burley and Miss Bolander ran off
last spring and they were captured in
Spokane. 1t was stated that they
were going to Alaska, where Burley
has some mining property. The girl
was under age. however, and the
charge of ABDUCTION was lodged
against Burley. After remaining in
Jail for several months Burley induced
local business men to go on his bond.
A day or two before his trial was to
be held, Burley disappeared. Deputy
Sheriff McCabe, in reading the sport
ing pages, noticed that Burley was
scheduled to appear as principal in a
prizefight at San Francisco tonight,
and officials there were wired today
to hold him.

A STRONG PLEA FOR THE
APPROXIMATION OF HAWAII
Time for Independent Men to Have Their Say
Against the Few Who Insist on Keeping
Hawaii FeudaI.

Editor Advertiser: Admiring the
laudable tenacity which you display day
by day in advocating the opening of
this Territory to American settlers,
cannot refrain from expressing my
ideas which are in accord with yours
on this most vital subject for the
white residents still remaining in these
Islands. Previous to the time of an
nexation we believed and expected
that, as soon as the United states gov
eminent would assume control of the
new Territory. the public lands would
be offered for settlement on the same
easy and liberal terms which have con-
tributed so much to the marvellous
growth and unprecedented prosperity
of our great nation. This expectation
of quick development on American
lines was one of the principal causes
of the rapid growth of the city of
Honolulu about ten years ago.
Our disappointment could not have
been greater when we see our white
friends leaving the Islands. by every
steamer, because their positions were
given to cheaper paid Orientals. While
we recognize that employers have the
undisputed right to discharge any one
they please, it is out duty as American
citizens to insist that the public lands
be open to American settlers. The
exodus Of white families is still going
on, and naturally keeps pace with the
increase of Oriental population. Nor
of converting this fair Territory into
an exclusive Oriental colony is going
to cease so long as we follow the
same suicidal policy of the last ten
years. 7 firmly believe that, if the
present system continues, when the
last employee has been replaced by a
cheaper Oriental, and when the latter
thoroughly, he will insist on running
the business himself by means of as
sociations formed for that purpose. OF
course, the former employer will re-
ceive some rent for his property, but
he, too, will have to go the way his
former employees went.
Then, Mr.. Editor, the work that has
been going on for several yeas of
converting Hawaii into an exclusive
Oriental colony will be accomplished.
While the President and the people
of the mainland, and the few remain
ing Americans here. do not wish to see

WHITE ROCK ON
FEBRUARY 10

Golf tournament are remarkably
scarce at present, and the local play
ers have been taking a little rest, and,
though not giving up practise by any
means, are waiting for something to
turn up. The dates for the tourna-
ment fixtures of 1908 have, not yet been
decided on by the committees of the
golf clubs.
The only golf tournament at present
in sight is the White Rock monthly
fixture, for February. which will take
place at Haleiwa. The date set is
February Is, and If no tournament is
played between now and then there
should be a big crowd present at the
Waialua links. With the dry weather
of the past winter, the Haleiwa links
are in the best of condition as can
be testified to by many local players
who have made the trip there lately

these Islands entirely under the con-
troll of an alien race, nothing is done
TO avoid it. Year by year we notice
more vacant houses, more vacant
stores and more vacant pews in our
houses OF worship; one church alone
in Honolulu had a net loss last year
of ninety-seven members, and the loss
of previous years was even greater,
and still we wait for another year
when we will find that the same causes
viii produce the same effects, /. e., the
still further diminution of our already
small white population.
The remedy is not difficult to find,
because everybody knows that, if we
wish to have Americans here. we
must offer them lands where they can
settle. If these lands had been given
away at the time of annexation to any
zen who would have applied for
them, we would have now a numerous
middle class of very desirable people
paying yearly tax, perhaps sufficient
to support our expensive government.
If the immense majority of the peo-
pie here wanted American settlers,
why were not the public lands offered
to them? Because very many citizens
here, owing to business or family rela-
tons, are not sufficiently independent
to publicly advocate a measure which
they know is, for purely selfish mo-
tives, opposed by about a dozen in
fiuential men who have so far baffled
every effort to allow Americans to
settle in this Territory.
Many men here seem to be in q sit
uation similar to those whom the great
Agnostic had in mind when he wrote
the following: Declaration of indie
pendence."
II have made up my mind to say my
say. / shall do it kindly, distinctly,
but I am going to do it. I know there
are thousands of men who substantial
ly agree with me. but who are not in
condition TO express their thoughts.
They are poor; they are in business,
and they know that should they tell
their honest thoughts, persons would
refuse to patronize them-to trade
with them-I say to them: Keep your
ideas to yourselves; feed and clothe
the ones you love; viii do your talk
ing for you. The church cannot touch,
cannot crush, cannot starve, cannot
stop or stay me; I will express your
thoughts"
Let our independent men come for
ward and express the thoughts of the
others until we secure the greatest
good to the greatest number.
