A STRUGGLE FOR LEADERSHIP.
IAst j. What the Western Insurgent
Movement Amounts To.

'gt 10 the medicine man that is
striving up the insurgent movement
in one Middle West rather than the
people" remarked Col. LATE Young
editor of the Des Moines Capital"
at the New Willard.

OF the insurgent movement in Iowa
ia that the followers of Senator
CHD Minis are supporting him not be-

a very large following. I should say
that the same analysis might APP

IMPORTANT WORK AHEAD FOR
NEXT SESSION OF CONGRESS
Congressman Fordney Expresses His
views-Michigan Delegation
Seem to Favor Merchant
Marine Legislation.

Seem to Favor Merchant
Marine Legislation.
The Grand Rapids Herald, the wide
awake ever reliable Republican news
paper 80 ably edited under the direction
of Arthur J. Vandenberg, asked the
Michigan congressman to express their
views as to the most important work
to be taken up at the approaching
session of congress. In its Sunday
issue replies were published from Con-
gressmen Fordney, Diekema and Loud.
Referring to Mr.. Fordney the Herald
said:
Then, from across the state, we get
still another viewpoint, when the sturdy
son of Saginaw valley-Congressman
Joseph w. Fordney-tells us that these
are the three things most important:
1.-The parcels post.
2-Currency reform.
3-Merchant marine legislation.
Here is Congressman Fordney's
statement on the subject:
lone of the important pieces of legis-
lation, which will likely come up for
consideration at the coming session of
congress, is the parcels post matter. I
have always been, and am at present,
opposed to a certain feature Of the par
cells post system, as proposed, namely:
I believe it would be unwise for the
government to transmit through the
mails packages from the large depart
ment houses in the large cities of the
country. have always favored the
adoption of the system for the trans
mission of packages from legitimate
merchants on the routes, and vice versa,
from the towns from which the rural
route carrier delivers mail. That is to
say, if this can be done without, in
some manner, permitting large depart
ment houses in other cities to establish
agencies in the small towns, and by 80
doing, deprive the local merchant of his
legitimate right to supply the people,
from whom he purchases agricultural
products, and expects. in return, such
people to deal with him.
Another, and very important matter
of legislation that will undoubtedly come
up at the coming session is the chang
ing of our financial system, which is
now being investigated by commission
headed by Senators Aldrich and Burrows
and Congressman Vreeland and others,
which commission has given great deal
of most careful study in gathering sta.
tistics and information as to the sys-
TENS in other countries.
Thirdly, government aid to our mer-
chant marine.
l might add, however, and suggest
that one piece of legislation over which
there is considerable agitation going on
at the present time, that should not
come up. is further tinkering with the
tariff"
Congressman Diekema places the i'm
portant work as follows:
Perfection of the anti. trust law.
Amending interstate commerce
law.
3-Currency law.
Congressman Loud has little diff.
ferent view
Currency reform.
Merchant marine legislation.
$500 600, 900 bonds for interna-
tiopal waterways,
The Herald had previously published
signed statements from the entire Mich
igan delegation-senators and repre-
seaetives--in favor of definite legisla-
tion action along some equitable and
proper line toward the establishment
of al American Merchant Marine.

MARSTON CAMPBELL
LOOKS INTO THINGS

HILO, Hawaii, January 28.-Super-
insendent Marston Campbell has be
come interested in some Territorial
property that has been for years lying
idle in the County of Hawaii. 1t came
about through the volcano road, which
can not be completed without being
macadamized, and Mr.. Campbell asks
the county to turn over to the High
Sheriff a rock crusher and engine so
that they may be used by the prisoners
who are building the road. He also
wants some fuel and man to operate
the engine.
The Superintendent of Public Works
also believes that the county is in pos
session of rock crusher and gasolene
engine that are not being used; that
there is located at the side of the road,
at Olaa, eight miles, traction engine
of which various parts, including the
fywheel, have been stolen; that there
is also, on the Pahea road, a Kelly
steam road roller which is improperly
protected. In conclusion Mr.. Campbell
wants some information as to the facts.

CUMM|NS AND
MEN WANT PAY
Mandamus Proceedings May
Bring Trent Into Court
Today.

Mandamus proceedings may be in
stituted in the Circuit Court this morn
ing to compel the City Treasurer to pay
the warrants issued by the City Auditor
to Road Supervisor Cummins, his assist
ants and employees working under his
direction during January.
The warrants issued to the Cummins
faction, which are upheld by the Re-
publican majority of the Board of Su-
pervisors, are the only ones which the
Treasurer refused to pay. All other
warrants were promptly paid on presen,
tation, including those for the police
and fire departments. The Auditor, on
the other hand, has not issued warrants
for John Wilson, road supervisorial ap-
pointee of Mayor Fern, and his assist
ants and employees, who have been
warming chairs in the Capitol basement
since early in January, the Mcclellan
payroll being still an official orphan.
1t is expected that someone, prob
ably the City Attorney, will carry the
mandamus proceedings into court, and
the long threatened legal action may
serve to clear away the murky fog in
the midst of which the Mayor and the
Supervisors have been bIindly graphing
since they assumed office.

MAUI JAPANESE
ARE NOT TROUBLED

Maui News.-1t seems the agitation
for more wages which was Industrious
ly worked up in Honolulu has fallen
fiat. Those who kept up the stir want
ed the japanese laborers on the plan
tations to put up sort of a working
fund for the advancement of the cause
of high wages, and the laborers on the
plantations, for some reason or other,
failed to respond, hence the movement
that looked like trouble at one time
subsidized.
So far the movement failed to show
itself on Maui, little or no discomfort
manifesting itself, and to all appear
ances the army of japanese laborers
went about their usual work on the
Maui plantations as if the Honolulu
agitation had never been heard of and
the laborers were satisfied and con-
tented.
The real reason may be in this. on
the Maui plantations the Japanese la
borers are working more by the piece
and by contracts than furnishing labor
to be used wherever the boss or the
plantation manager may direct.

BREEDS NEW DUCK

Patient persons who at many festal
board have carved the succulent but
elusive water fowl We're much interest
ed today in breastboneless duck which
was placed on exhibition at the local
poultry show by G. A Winter, of
Brooklawn. Through careful culture
Winter has succeeded in breeding a
duck which is entirely innocent of
breastbone. As everybody who has ever
tried to carve duck knows. it has
from time immemorial been the breast
bone of the duck that has presented
most difficulties to the man at the head
of the table.

CHINESE RIGHT TO TRAVEL.

Editor Advertiser-Is there no word
to be said in behalf of honorable and
just treatment Of the industrious and
we'll behaved Chinese residents of the
Territory who wish to visit their rela-
tives in China and return, but are not
permitted to return? An article on this
topic was recently sent to your office
for publication, but never appeared.
Why it was suppressed is, of course,
known only to those who are privileged
to reject such articles as are not ac
ceptable, the exercise of such privilege
being in no wise here objected to. But
it does seem as if some effort should
in justice be made to right that which
is wrong; and surely it is wrong to say
to any well-behaved and Industrious
man who has legally entered Terri
tory and been permitted to establish a
legitimate business of his own, and to
remain there for ten to twenty years
or more, "You may go to see your rela
tives and friends, or to care for your
aged parents, or for any other purpose
you choose, but you shall never be per
mitted to return to this Territory for
any purpose unless you have given
amount of property here. If you have
less than that, you must dispose of it
or leave it in the care of friend.' A
sense of shame and indignation arises
within ones heart at such treatment of
decent fellowbeing who has been we'll
hammered and honorable in all his bust
ness dealings. No reference is here had
to the immigration law, although that
might be made less rigid without harm
to any one, and benefit to some. The
reference is solely to the treatment ac-
corded to those who have acquired
legal entry to the Territory and been
permitted to remain here long enough
to regard it as their home, and who
wish to return to it after visit to the
land of their birth. Long years of per
sonal dealings with these peaceable
and industrious people could not but
lead to sympathy for them and desire
to see them decently treated. The law
that enforces different treatment of
them IS maiodorous. E. c. B.
