While always conspicuous before
the public on account of the nature
of his private life, particularly in re-
cent years, King Leopold latterly had
much of the world against him on ac-
count of his attitude toward the Congo
Independent state. His greatest in
terest lay in the development of that
country, for he was practically the
founder of it and was it's ruling SOW
ereign. On Nov. Is, 1908, Belgium
formally assumed control of the state,
and since then efforts at reform have
been inaugurated, but not carried out
I'm an entirely satisfactory manner.
Criticisms against King Leopold in
this matter are said to have shattered
the buoyant spirits of the sovereign,
although 1t was only in private that
he gave expression to these feelings.
King Leopold was regarded as one

Ludlow Associates have agreed to
take back the strikers and will con-
strue the agreement of last week as

in the morning and one in the after
noon and continuing until such time
when all of the strikers will be back at
work. The company will allow the
strike breakers to leave the mills;

whose goods were removed from its
houses at the time of evictions back
to the buildings at its own cost.

THE LABOR AGITATION.

certain japanese agents In this city

to arouse the people TO a demand for

The higher-wage scheme as 1t has
developed thus far is fragrant exhi-

may gain personal profit Conse-
quently thoughtful people OF the ISL

cannot fail to take serious view of
the outrageous threats spoken and
published by self-appointed leaders
OF the high-wage movement.

peace of the community and preach
openly a doctrine of bloodshed, the!

GOVERNORS STATlNEET ON
ORGANIC ACT CHANGERS.

We recommend the statement Of
Governor Frear on the amendments
proposed for the Organic Act. to the
careful perusal Of every Bull letin
reader.
The bill introduced by Senator
Flint on which hearings were held
by the committee, before the people
of Hawaii knew anything of the bill
OF its scope, is OF the utmost impor-
lance to the people of this Territory.
The stenographic report Of the hear
ing will be published in full, and
run in short sections, that the casual
reader may not become frightened at
the extreme length and, passing Il
over till a more convenient season.
forget 1t.
The method pursued In introduce
ing this bill is utterly opposed to
good policy. The people have known
In a general way that the Organic
Act needed amendment in many par
ticulars, but they were ignorant Of
the fact that the general amendment
proposed by this bill was to be forced
through at the present session OF Con-
gress They were also in absolute
ignorance at the time this bill was
introduced, of how far its provisions
upset present conditions or threaten
ed dangerous governmental upheav-
ais.
Governor Frear evidently believed
that he was called upon to go ahead
without consulting anyone but the
executive officers in Washington, and
securing the consent of the Delegate.
The Governor has a penchant for
this method of doing public business.
Sooner or later 1t will get him into
disfavor, II II has not already done
so.
In the present instance, the citi-
zen has to decide whether the bill
should be blocked to teach the Chief
Executive a lesson, or allowed to go
through II II proves not to BIO dan
gerous measure.
On general principles, the method
can be overlooked for one occasion II
greater injury would be done In the
long run by forcing. n delay. The
Bulletin therefore gives the
statement of the Governor In full de-
tail In order that every reader may
decide for himself on the wisdom OF
what is proposed In tampering with
the Organic law.
This paper does not agree with the
4 opinion that important legislation
for Hawaii must be ''sneaked"
through because Hawaii know It's
own mind so little that Roadway can
not be made. Legislation made In
haste leaves the people almost inva-
riably to repent at leisure. II pro-
posals are made for changes In the
laws that meet the general OPPOSE
ton of the people, those changes
should not be made.
Ours should be and must be n gov
eminent of the people-not the peo-
pie governed by few who think
they know best what the common
herd should have.
Read this Organic Act amendment
proposition and read II carefully. 1t

to heed the agitators, and thuy exer-
else a proper influence on ignorant
people easily swayed. N
Everyone believes in high wages
when increases are justified. II the
demands Of the agitators were grant
ed the average dividend capacity Of
Hawaiis sugar plantations would be
reduced to one per cent. a year, and
some properties would have to 80 out

The agitators don't know this.
They don't care. Their purpose Is
to build up a private fund of seven
thousand dollars month through
the contributions OF the laborers.
Facts are not their stock in trade.

community sentiment should yigor-
ously demand proper treatment for
