Recently in an ajolning town. the
sheriff was Offering the goods and
accounts of a merchant for what he
could get. The accounts ammounted
to $1,000 and were sold for SO. Why?
Because they belong to that class
OF people who never pay an honest
debt, nor expect to pay one if they
can help it. The prime cause of this
state of thing is the credit system.
As the cancer is to humanity so is
the credit system in the business
world. Politicians are qnarreling
about Protection and Free
Trade" but if the system of "pav
as you go" could be Impressed upon
the people of this country, it would
be vastly greater benefit than
either. The credit system caters to
the morbid desire of certain class
of People who live beyond their means
1t gives them a chance to get every
thing they want; not what they
really want, but what they think
they want. Then there is class of
people who lack stamina. They
never pay book account, but may
pay cash whe1 they car t get credit.
These human parasites are the
cause of more real suffering than
anything else under our government,
excluding whlskey. The economy OF
nature, perfect as.tis, lacks ore
thing-a jumping-off place for dead
beats.

MODIFIED POLICIES
In CONSERVATION
BaIlinger Gives Intimation of
Lines Upon Which He
Will Work.
{By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, October 2S.-Now
that the bitter feeling over the charges
and countercharges passed in the in
terror department between Secretary
Ballinger and Clifford Pinehot, forestry
chief, is subsiding, the lines of policy
are becoming less tangled and more
definite. In statement issued yester-
day, Ballinger comes out fat footed
and emphatically upholds the right use
of the country's natural resources lying
within the public domain.
This is considered somewhat of a
modification of the conservation state
ments' and less radical in its scope.
At the conservation congress held in
Seattle. Ballinger expressed himself as
desiring to be judged from his actions
and not from his words and the actions
that will follow his latest statement
are eagerly awaited.
Ballinger's statement was made in
connection with the organization of the
National Conservation Association in
New York which has just elected Doc
tor Eliot, ex-president of Harvard Uni
versitv. as its head The organization
is launched for the purpose of promot-
ing legislation conducive to the end
expressed in its title.

BRYAN ACCEPTED
PANSy LEI FROM
HAWAIIAN GIRL

William Jennings Bryan visited the
Hawaii building at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition on October 9, and
showed his remembrance of things Ha-
waiian by donning a pansy lei prepared
for him.
As he entered the Hawaiian build
ing he was greeted by Miss Irene Boyd,
who bore the beautiful lei of many
eolors. She seemed to hesitate, for Mr..
Taft had hesitated about wearing one
offered by Miss Kaai, but Mr.. Bryan s
manner assured her. Holding his head
low, for he knew the custom well, he
permitted her TO place the lei around
his neck and wore it while remaining
in the building. As the party passed
through the building the Hawaiian
chorus began singing Aloha De. Mr..
Bryan stood with the lei about his neck
until they had finished, and then re-
quested another song, which was sung
for him.
81 thank you very. much" he said;
''that is indeed beautiful. -
Lloyd Childs presented Mr.. Bryan
with a simple koa chair. although Mr.
Bryan expressed a wish to buy it.

Charge of Faker.
(By Associated Press.}

MISS0ULA, Montana, October 2s.--
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, who is touring
the West lecturing, made statement
here yesterday in the course of an ad-
dress, that would indicate that he will
at last take steps to present to the
world substantial proofs of the validity
of his claim as the discoverer of the
North Pole.
He stated that the arrangements have
been completed TO bring to America,
the Eskimos who accompanied him on
what, if verified, will be his remarkable
dash to the apex of the world.
According to his statement, the ma.
tives will not be brought here until
next September, almost year hence,
and although he gave no reasons for
his delay in advancing this, his greatest
proof, it is understood that travelling
/ and climatic conditions ere responsible.
=, Knud Rasmussen is now in Greenland
examining the Eskimos belonging to
the same tribe as those who accom-
panied Doctor Cook, and has sent word
to the civilized world that the explor-
er's story is correct Wonder has been
expressed that Rasmussen does not
! bring these men back with him and
settle the question which is at present
| causing so much bitter feeling.

YET AGAIN DOES
FAILURE ATTEND
Mrs. AtcherIey Spends Several
Days in Retirement and
Petitions Once More.

"The issuing of the writ in this case

Justice Hartwell in regard to a petition
Of Mrs. Atcherlev for writ Of habeas

The case was presented before the
chief justice and passed upon yesterday.
Mrs Atcherley has spent the first three

WATERWORks
FOR ARMY POSTS
The Reservoir Recommendations
Revive Talk of Thousand Big
Gun Men for Here.

With the recommendation for a sep
arate water reservoir to be built by
the war department for the use Of its
sarrisons at Fort Ruger. Diamond
Head, and De RusSy, Waikiki, comes
again the statement from army people
that the original plan for more than
a thousand coast artillerymen will be
adhered to and that there is q pros
peet for an early increase in that
branch Of the service.
When the eabled announcement
reached Honolulu thai Major Cree had
been ordered to command the artillery
district of Honolulu, the statement was
also made that the war department con
templated statiouing 1906 artillery
men in the different posts. Fort Ringer
has more than two hundred men al
ready. They are living in a hastily
built cantonment and the whole area
is covered with fine, red dirt. The
lava boulders are being blasted out
and grass is being planted, but owing
to the lack of an adequate water sup
ply the red dirt is being put out of
slight slowly. The red dirt post is
not the most comfortable place in the
world to put up ones household gods
but the officers and men have to make
the best of their assignment.
With an adequate water supply tn,
post would undergo a transformation
in a few weeks for the red soil i
rich and grass grows rapidly and lux
uriantly there. To obtain more water
and the city can not supply much more
would cost the government lot O
money, and to supply Fort De Russ,
with its garrison of about eight hun
dred men will cost much more.
Army officers are thoroughly of tn
opinion that the war department shoul
own and control its own water SUP
ply and it is understood that a reser
voir will be built near Fort Ruger an
wells sunk from which to supply il
From the reservoir water will be pipe
to De Russy and to Battery Harlow o

KOREA WIRELESS
WELL TESTED
Even Passengers Worked Wire
less Jokes on Each
Other.

''The wireless system was perfect and
did everything expected of it, by keep
ing in touch with San Francisco" said
Captain Sandberg, master of the Pacific
Mail steamship Korea.
"Our new wireless plant is great.
Commercially speaking, it was used con-
siderably by the passengers as well as
the steamship people. The plant far
exceeded our expectations. We expect
to be in daily communication with Ho-
nolulu, and before getting out of reach
of this station to be in communication
with Japan s stations. That gives us
100 miles each way" said Purser
Allen of the Korea.
And the passengers who used the
wireless and received news from the
mainland and Honolulu during the week
they spent on board are equally en-
thusiastic over the success of the ex-
pertinent, and it is believed that Gen
eral Manager SchweTi1 is also satisfied
that wireless is good thing for his big
boats.
The apparatus is in charge of S. A.
Phelps, who was operator aboard the
S. S. Alameda until last trip. He has
made good record SO far, but having
one of the finest plants in this part of
the world to operate, he can easily
make big reputation.
j. o. Watkins, constructing engineer
of the United Wireless Company of San
Francisco, which company put in the
wireless plant, came down here on the
ship in order to keep tab on its work
ing qualities to report back to the head
quarters. He dropped off here and will
return to San Francisco on the S. S.
China next Saturday.
''From the standpoint of the install
lation l am perfectly satisfied with the
way it is WORKING said Mr.. Watkins.
Thereare two separate sets aboard. One
is of five kilowatts and the other is of
two kilowatts. Then there is an
emergency set, which has storage bat
teries to operate it. As the wireless
room is located on the bridge, in case
of an accident, or the vessel filing and
sinking, the wireless room would be
among the last of the deck structures
to so under. The strong batteries would
be in use long after the engines were
out of commission and help could be
called for'

COMPLEXITIES IN

A meeting of the health committee
of the board of supervisors yesterday
was held to consider the charges in
stituted against Lot C. Lane by irate
merchants whose fish he had ordered
destroyed. During Investigations, COM
plexities in his complexion made them
selves manifest, some witnesses stating
that they knew he was drunk because
his face was white and others that they
knew he was drunk because his face
was red. The committee decided that
there was something rotten somewhere
not necessarily in Denmark-and it
didn't make any difference whether
Lane was drunk or not.
