The surprising thing about the ia
nous Aldrich joker is that it was not
discovered by the House members of
the conference committee Had Re-
pesentative Payne been as shrewd as
he is supposed to be, or as shrewd as
the floor leader of the majority party
ought to be, he would not have accept
ed the Aldrich joker in the first place.
But Payne is a dullard, and when Aid
all right, he was perfectly well salts
fed. Later on, when the conference
report was presented to the House, Re-
preventative Mann of Illinois pointed
out the joker, but even then Payne
could not see it; others could not see
it, and the loaded paragraph, with
all others, was agreed to. Western
men most interested in the cattle in
dustry are largely to blame for not
catching up the joker when the con-
Had it not been for the eternal vig1-
lence of such Senators as Borah, Cum
Minis, Dolliver, Warren and Carter, the
IAldrich joker no doubt would have
been swallowed by the Senate as well
as by the House But these men were
not content to take the word of AID
rich that everything was right and
proper They had to find out for
themselves, and their search demon
strated the extremes to which Aid
rich will go in dealing with his col
leagues When the passive acquies-
cence of the average senator and mem
Der is taken into consideration, and
when it is known that the average man
in congress makes no investigation for
himself, but accepts the word of the
leaders, it is no wonder Aldrich has
so little difficulty in fimHaming both
branches of Congress. He is always
awake; always alert, always resource
full. That is why he is so powerful.
! Perhaps some of the responsibility
for the Aldrich leather joker should be

a higher rate than was bid on the same
work by other concerns.
This was called to the treasurer's
attention by letter He replied that
he had referred it to the attorney gem
eral The attorney general was silent
for about three weeks, and then when
his mind was given a jog in the form
of a letter calling his attention to the
matter, he replied with a letter prac-
tcally stating that the treasurer had
a legal right to accept the highest bid
if he wanted to.
The public works department is said
to be following the same scheme. and
so the famous Frear economy ad-
ministration is proceeding to hand out
work without competition, on practi.
cally private agreements with a print
ing concern, the treasurer and a few
others.
And the attorney general, when ap
pealed to for an opinion, side step
with a statement that there is no lega
ground for appeal IL the treasurer &C
cepts the highest bids for work.

A new kind of printing deal is loom
ing up at the Capitol building. De-
partments seem to be in plan to
spend more public money than is ne

some deal whereby the Bulletin concern

Some weeks ago Auditor Fisher call

all sorts. The Merchants Associa-

vised by the Attorney General that the
bids would not be binding, wherefore
the merchants refused to bid. Relying
upon the same opinion, The Hawaiian

to bid, Just as other business concerns
declined to bid on proposition not
binding on either the bidder or the re-

dances for which that place is noted
next Saturday night The music is
to be the best there is in the city and

the promenades. These affairs are

is no more delightful place for dance

shouldered onto Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts and Representative
"Gussie" Gardner, his son-in-law.
These two men were in conference with
Aldrich when the joker was being
shaped up, and they, more than any
others, were interested in preventing
an honest reduction of the duty on
shoes. It is asserted that Lodge sug-
gested to Aldrich the phraseology
which would best fool congress and the
country, and at the same time retain
high rates on most of the shoes that
come in competition with the New
England output Lodge and Gardner
were parties to the conspiracy, but it
required the Italian hand of Aldrich
to slip it into the bill, and but for
| Borah, Warren and others heretofore
named, it would have been swallowed
! by the Senate as readily as it was ac-
cepted by the House. Even the PresI-
dent was loathe to believe Aldrich had
tried to work a shell-game on Con-
! gTess.

northern districts of Hawaii. AS was
to be expected, the work of surveying
and locating bases for the road bed
over hills, gorges, etc., has been no
easy task, and it is matter of salts
faction that the principal difficulties
have already been surmounted. Mr..
Thurston states that it has been found
necessary, owing to the proximity to
the sea, to abandon any idea of using
steel in exposed parts of the bridge at
Hilo. The foundations will be of con-
crete, with imbeded, steel supports, but
the trestle-work will all be of wood.
