Letters From
the People
M'HENRY EXPLAINS.

Editor Advertisements you have
shown such spirit of fair play in
the Leal matter, l trust you will pub
lish this statement. The Bulletin has
all through the Investigation taken the
part of Leal, and in so doing has not
confined itself to the facts in the case.
The paper has persistently referred to
McHenry as being the instigator Of
the charges against Leal, and in a re-
cent edition of the paper stated that
Sheriff Jarrett, acting through the
statement he received from me, had
suspended Leal. Now, as matter of
fact, Leal had been suspended three
or four days before I made a state
ment of any kind to the sheriff or to
any other official. Leal. through the
Bulletin, has tried to create the i'm
preston that [ alone am responsible
for his troubles, and states that it is
only spitework on my part, owing to
the fact that he had ordered ''the bar
keeper out of the Islands several
times, or, at least. told him that it
would be better for his health if he
removed himself. This statement was
made by Leal in The Advertiser of
December A. Leal stated through the
Bulletin of December that, as far as
McHenry was concerned, he had only
spoken to the man once. 81 called
him to my office and told him he had
better get out of the country, as we
did not want men of his type here, -
/ he SAYS Which one of his statements
can one believe? There is not an iota
of truth in his statement that he call
ed me to his office The only time I
was ever in his Office I was requested
by Mr.. Buchly to meet him Mr.. Buch-
ly) there, as he wanted to see me. If
I.eal had, as he stated in The Adver-
tiser, several times ordered me out of
the Islands, why didn It he bring the
matter to an issue and see that | did
leave the Islands, I was in the coun-
try from May Is to July 80. Why
didn t he modest me during that time ?
No; he waited until I had secured EN-.
| ployment and was making an effort to
earn an honest living before he dis
covered that men of my type were not
wanted in Honolulu.
The statement I made to Sheriff Jar
rett was practically the same as I
made to my present employer when I
| entered his employ, and it was corrob-
GRATED almost word for word by the
| statement Apaliona or Napoleon made
| to Sheriff Jarrett in the presence of a
| stenographer and which he repudiated
when brought before the grand jury.
| Police officials as a rula are onlv
! too willing to assist wrong-doer to
| reform, and have often assisted them
to secure legitimate employment In
my case. the ex-chief has proven an
exception to that rule. inasmueh as he
tried his utmost to stop me from get
ting employment in Honolulu; and in
view of that fact. does it not seem
natural that I should bear Just little

LIGHT CRUISERS
ARE DOOMED

WASHINGTON, November 13.-The
of the navy have determin-
ed to build practically nothing in the
future but battleships and torpedo
boats-the two extremes of offensive
warships. An occasional intermediate
type may be constructed for special
purposes. But the present view of the
wise men who plan for the national
defense is that battleships of the larg-
est size and torpedo boats of the great
est speed will do all the work required
to uphold the Stars and Stripes through
out the world.
This means that we will have no

been figured that the sea fights of the

will be expected to engage each other

battle theory is found in the simplifed
batteries The dreadnoughts, now I'M
der construction, will have only two
types of guns, 12-inch and 5-inch. The
larger weapon is counted on to do the
real damage. The last target practice
of the fleet showed that an expert gun
ner can pepper twenty-five-foot tar
get at four or five miles with regu-
larity that would prove most disastrous
to hostile ship. The 5-inch guns are
designed to keep torpedo boats off. The
5-inch gun of the kind found in the
American Navy is practically equiva-
lent to the 6-inch gun of foreign navies.
1t has been described as 6-inch gun
with fve-inch hole. The two-caliber
battery for warships is not confined to
the American Navy. The leading sea
Powers of Europe have adopted the
same principle.
"Sooner or later we will have to
build some small cruisers or gun
boats,' remarked an official of the
navy department today. "We will
always have need for a fleet of small
vessels of the Marietta and Concord
type. They will be used to show the
American flag in remote quarters of the
globe. 1t is not always feasible to
send battleship fleet around the
world. In some eases the appearance

A WAsHINGToN dispatch by w. w.
Jermane states that President Taft
has some misgivings about incorporat-
ing in his annual message to congress
recommendations regarding law to
compel railroads to dispose of stock
they now hold in competing lines.
He thinks such law would be well
for the future, but he has his doubts
about making it apply where such
stock has already been acquired.
Already to much stock of competing
lines is held by some roads, and a
backdown by the president on this
point will be a disappointment to the
people.

CONGRESSMAN MARTIN has announc-
ed himself in favor of change in the
house rules. This puts Martin in the
class opposed to Speaker Cannon
Mr.. Martin has not heretofore been
openly identified with the insurgents
in congress, but he has now placed
himself in a position where he must
oppose Cannon in every detail as re
CARDS rules and the government of
the house, if he would hope to accom-
plish anything. 1t also places Mr..
Martin in more favorable light as a
candidate to succeed himself. Aside
from few of the self appointed
leaders there are not many of the
stalwart faction who favor Cannon
since the abortion of tariff revision.

sessions were held at the opera house.
A number of noted speakers had been
secured by the superintendent, among
whom were Gov. Vessey, Prof. Hol-
den, the great corn expert, Mr.. Cham
berlain, superintendent of farmers in
stitutes, President Slagle, of the col
lege at Brookings, and Mrs. Olmstead
of Brookings, the latter addressing
the ladies at the court house at 1:30
in the afternoon.
The speech by Gov. Vessey was
greatly appreciated by all. Prof.
Holden's address dealt with the se-
lection, testing, planting and cultiva-
tion of corn and was masterpiece in
that line. The value of his system in
corn raising cannot be disputed as it
is the result of study of the theory,
and of actual experience. No man in
the Northwest has done as much as
he to advance the interests of the
farmer in the corn raising states.
The talk of DR.. Slagle was upon
the chemical properties of corn and
soil. 1t was both interesting and
practical.
Mr.. Chamberlain is ready and
entertaining speaker, and one quail
fed to talk upon almost any line con.
nected with farming.
The evening was devoted to short
talks by all of the speakers mention
ed.
The opera house was we'll filled at
both morning and evening sessions,
and at the afternoon session it was
filled to its utmost capacity. Had
the weather been favorable the crowd
could not have been Accommodated in
side. All parts of the county were
represented and everyone manifested
a deep interest in the exhibition and
appreciation of the efforts of the
speakers.
Supt. Seymour has reason to feel
pround of the success attending his
effort.

ATHE administration has decided
not to take up the proposed postal
savings bank scheme at the next ses-
sion of congress. Legislation along
this line was demanded by the re.
publican platform, but it is perhaps
just as we'll to defer action until con,
gress has acted upon the report of
the monetary commission. There
might be some changes made in the
monetary system that would make
postal savings banks established at
this time practically useless under a
new system.

TELEPHONE RATES.

Patrons of the long distance tele-
phone lines in south Dakota are pa
tiently waiting for the railroad COM
mission to take some action toward
reducing or equalizing the rates over
toll lines in the state.
The question of the regulation of
telephone rates was one of the inn
portant matters before the legislature
of 1909. 1t is question requiring thor
ough investigation and the collection
of a large amount of data For that
reason the Legislature did not attempt
to arbitrarily fix rates which might
afterward be found to be an Injustice
to the telephone companies. Instead,
it empowered and directed the railroad
commission TO take the matter up
and fix rates that should be equitable
and reasonable. The telephone com
panies of the state were given cer-
tain length of time in which to file
with the secretary of the railroad
commission a schedule of their toll
rates between all points in the state
covered by their lines.
The time has expired and only one
company, .he Dakota Central has filed
such schedule, although their rates in
clude in many instances the toll over
connecting lines of the other com.
panies. There is a strong conviction
on the part of users of the telephone
lines that rates are in many instances
too high in this state and also that
they are not arranged on fair basis,
instances being quoted where the rate
from one point to another was greater
than the rate over the same line in
the other direction.
The question is an important one
to the state. The Legislature has TAX
en- action looking to the adjustment
of the rates and early action on the
part of the railroad commission is
most desirable. Sioux Falls Press.
