If there is any sound reason why

AWAITING THE MORROW.

A report circulated this afternoon,
had it that considerable proportion
of the Japanese strikers have been led
to suppose by their leaders that the
plantation managements VIII not en-
force the order for strikers to leave
the plantation premises at noon to-
morrow. Inasmuch as they are com
Portable where they are and are not
any too welcome TO the leaders in
town where two thousand idlers are
already being fed and housed, an ele-
ment of the strikers awaits the NOR
row to see whether or not the plant
ers are in earnest in the order for
them to get out They want to hang
out little longer, half hoping there
will be something granted them in
he way of a concession. They are
likely to find different tomorrow.
MAKINO'S STAR SETTING.
Makinos star as a successful leader
for higher wages seems to be fast
declining and it is stated that he will
abandon all hope of getting Japanese
on other islands to go on strike if
all the men on Oahu go back to work
The priests are against the Maxine
idea and this, perhaps more than any
thing else, is putting the strikers back
to work Maxine will now probably
devote his energies to thinking up
ways and means of emigration, on a
commission basis, with view to sup
plying South America with Japanese.
n strikebreakers were needed at
Eva plantation this morning, for of
their own free viii the Japanese Ia
borers of Eva decided to abandon the
strike and its leaders and to return
to the mill and the 1elds, without con-
dition and without reserve, all except
about a hundred who still cling to
Maxine and his promises of higher
wages, and whose refusal to return to
work will in no way affect the big
plantation.

Ask Your Congressman.

The first Congress which met under the
present Constitution fixed the pay of members.
This was in 1880. The salary was put at six
dollars for each day of actual work. In addi-
ton, each Congressman received ten cents per
mile, going and coming, to cover the expensive
stage-coach travelling Of those days.
In 1916, Congress decided to raise it's own
wages. A bill was passed which gave each
member standing salary of fifteen hundred
actual work.
In those times, our people took keen in
terest in their public affairs Members Of
legislatures and of Congress were held to strict
accountability If the people disliked any act
of their legislative bodies, they punished the
wrong doors at the next election.
The conduct of Congress in adding to its
own pay without consulting the taxpayers was
resented The question was agitated through
out the country, talked of at every cross
roads, discussed in every little gathering.
Finally, public meetings began to be held to
denounce these greedy Congressman who in
creased their own pay after getting into office.
GRAND JURIES SPOKE OUT, in their gen
eral presentments.
In New York the people were so clamorous
in their condemnation of Congressman Throop
for voting himself $500 salary that he re-
signed. The Legislature of Rhode Island
adopted resolutions gravely rebuking the &C
ton of Congress. At Lynchburg, Virginia, a
petition was numerously signed in which MEM

HOlr Pennsylvania Deals Win Rabe

Bowman citizen Of Philadelphia was walk
ing along Spring street. AS he was passing
the front Of the house numbered 1907, his at
tent1on was attracted by letter. lying on the
sidewalk. Opening it, he read these words,
For Gods sake, come and rescue me from
a life that is worse than DEATH"
Charles Bowman called in the police, num-
Der 1907 was searched, the paddock Of GER
tain door was broken and in the room thew
found lying,-terribly emaciated and guarded
by negro mana white woman, "a years Of
age. Her name was Lillian Washburn.
She was poor orphan girl of Reading, Pen
sylvania and she had gone to Philadelphia to
get work. The second day after her arrival,
and while taking meal in restaurant she
had been drugged. While unconscious the
negro, Alfred Brown, had taken her to his den
and locked her in
There he assaulted her, and kept her for his
sensual use for seven months He had not
allowed her, once, to leave the room. Not one
peep Of sunshine had she been able to get, dur
ing all that awful time. What she had to suf-
fer, every day and every night, makes one
shudder to think Of.
At last she managed to steal an envelope
and strip of paper from the negro mans coat
On this scrap she penned her appeal for help.
Most fortunately it escaped the eyes of The
the hands of the white man. Bowman.
Now, let us see what the evidence against
the rapist was. There was the padlocked door,
the fearful condition of the room, the pa1Ior
and emaciation of the girl, her physical condi-
ton showing "the usual crime" and the fact
that the negro lived in the house and was
guarding the door In addition to this cir
cumstantial testimony there was the direct
evidence of the white girl herself.
But because the negro, Alfred Brown, de-
MED it all, the magistrate who tried the case
found him guilty of nothing more serious than
keeping disorderly house.
This Pennsylvania Judge sentenced the
brutal ravlsher and jailor of this poor orphan
white girl to one year in the house of correc-
ton!
Is it any marvel that the crimes against wo-
men show frightfu1 increase in the North?
From many sources comes the information
that young girls mysteriously disappear, and
are either found dead afterwards, or are never
heard of again. Some are outraged and killed;
some are drugged and hurried off into the dens
of infamy some are dragged to cellars where
they are violated and abandoned; some are
kept locked UP in private rooms as Lillian
Washburn was held by Alfred Brown. Not
long ago, we commented on case where
Northern Judge sentenced a negro to few
months Imprisonment for raping a white wo-
man. In the Pittsburg cases, where outrages
were multiplied against white school girls, not
single negro was given any real punishment.
A mild sentence in the House of Correction"
was deemed sufficient
House of correction for beast who will as
sault a woman?

pers OF congress were reminded that they had
known what the compensation Of the office
was when they sought it, and that if they were
dissatisfied with the pay they ought to have
quit the job. In Nashville, Tenn, mass meet
ing was held and every Congressman from that
State who had voted for the salary grab WAS
ASKED TO RESIGN.
In the State of Georgia, there were great
gatherings of the plain folks, in Wilkes Coun-
ty, IN Putnam, and in Jackson Speeches
against the salary grab we're made and resolu-
tons adopted denouncing the Congressman
who voted for it.
What was the effect of this expression of the
popular will?
AT THE VERY NEXT SESSION OF
CONGRESS THE OBJECTIONABLE LAW
WAS REPEALED.
The great Henry Clay was one Of the men
who voted for the salary grab, and it was only
by the skin Of his teeth that he got reelected
1t was during this canvass that the incident
occurred with which you are doubtless ia
mil1ar. Clay asked former supporter to vote
tor him again Cant do it, Squire Your
vote for that Compensation bill cooked your
goose with me-" Clay adopted the penitent

Yes, have-as good one as ever burnt

We'll, did your rifle ever miss fire."
Yes, that has happened"
Then said Clay, "What did you do with your
trusty old rifle when she missed fire,-did you
throw her away, or did you pick the flint and
try her again.
The old hunter caved, just as the foxy Clay
knew he would, and the happy allusion to the
rifle saved the statesman's political hide.
The Congress now sitting went into office
on salaries of $1,000. The men who ran for
those places knew very we'll what the salary
was before they were elected. Not word did
they dare to say against the amount of the
wages WHILE THEY WERE SEEKING
THE JOB.
But after they got into office, they raised
their pay to $500 per year.
DID YOUR CONGRESSMAN DO THAT?

perhaps, is the utter indifference of our people
to their public business.
There are thousands of men who will risk
their lives to save a few COWS or hogs, in a
freshet or blizzard, who won't even read an
editorial in which they might learn how the
laws have been so mani ulated that they are
robbed of at least two hundred and fifty dol
lars, per family, every year. There are thou

Interesting Reading.

The following item has been going the
rounds:
Homes Sent by u S. Will Aid Earthquake
Sufferers.
Rome, Feb. 2o-Lieut Commander Belk-
nap, the American naval attache, is going to
Naples to take over the 5000 wooden houses
sent by the American government for the
earthquake sufferers About three-hfths of
the houses are destined for Messina, where
some Of them will form a street in the new
city, which will probably receive an American
name
The rest will be erected in a new village
suburb, which will be named Elena The Ital-
ian government is furnishing facilities for I'm
loading and transporting the houses, and will
also cooperate in their building"
Very pleasant news, isn't it?
Suppose you ask your Congressman where
they got the authority to take the money col
lected from you by taxation, and spend it in
building homes for the destitute people of for
e1gn countries Upon what theory Of constitu-
tional right can a State, or the Union of States
spend your public funds in that manner?
In all other nations, charity is the work of
individuals and societies. The governments of
foreign countries do not make appropriations
to relieve the destitute But, in spite of the
fact that ours is a government of strictly linn
tied powers, ourNruers do what they please
with your money
Have we not as many as 5000 homeless
families in America that would be happy to
have the Government build houses for them?
How is it that Congress and the President can
lawfully have homes sent to 5000 foreign da-
goes when everybody agrees that they cannot
constitutionally do the same thing for our own
people?

With Congress removing the tariff
on products Of the Philippine Is
lands, and the United States Gov
eminent spending s15O,00O in a
Philippine exhibit at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacigc Exposition, it is pre-
dicted by business men on the
Pacific Coast that trade between
this coast and the islands will in
crease very rapidly in the next few
months. Philippine tobacco, sugar
rice, lumber, etc, will be imported,
while American machinery and
manufactured products will find
better markets in the islands. This
impet;ls to Philippine trade has al
ready been felt in Seattle in the
lumber market, where Philippine
m hogany and hard woods are COM
peting strongly with other woods
used for interior finishing. The in
sular Lumber Co., which operates
the biggest saw mill in the Orient,
has established their American
agenc in Seattle, through the firm
of Hanford e. Sutthoff, and is ship
ing mahogany regularly to Seattle.
The new wood is very handsome
and comes in such wide boards that
builders are enthusiastic over it. At
the same time it costs less than
Mexican or Cuban mahogany, and
no more than native oak and other
hardwoods. The importation of
hard woods is the first indication of
a Philippine trade, which it is hop
ed will soon reach proportions hith-
erto unheard of, and Seattle is max
ing strong bid for her share of
this trans-Pacifc commerce.

During the height of pneumonia,

When a person is convalescing
from scarlet fever keep we'll covered
in bed, or, when up, with warm
hannels, to prevent dropsy, which
is so likely to occur when cold is
taken. A mild attack of scarlet
fever should be treated with equal
care as severe one.
Remember that in typhoid fever
the seat of the disease is in the
bowels. In measles the lungs are
the sensitive parts, consequently'the
bowels and lungs should be kept
warm. In diphtheria the heart will
be treacherous, so beware of quick
movements and of any position in
bed except the recumbcnt.
