Governor Frear's statement before

Governor Frear's statement before
Senate Committee on Pacific Islands:
CONTINUED from Wednesday,
Governor Frear-Section 2, amend
ing section 26, in regard to the pay
of the legislators.
The Chairman-What do they get
now?
Governor Frear-They get $500
for a regular session and 5000 for
either a special or an extra session.
This increases the pay for the regu-
lar session from $500 to 5000 and
provides that there shall be no COM
pensation at all for an extra session.
An extra session Is something pecu-
liar there. 1t differs from a spe-
cial session. 1t is session which
the governor is required to call i'm
mediately after regular session in
case the legislature has failed to
make the necessary appropriations
during the regular session, and with
the provision that until they make
such appropriations the old appro-
priations shall be deemed to be re-
appropriated. That was inserted be-
cause of conditions arising out of the
overthrow of the monarchy, and II
was not known what the Legislature
might do. AS matter of fact, when
territorial government was establish
ed the legislature always saw to II
that II did not pass the appropriation
bills during the regular session.
That was with view to getting the
salary for the extra session.
When Congress recently began to
make an appropriation toward the
expenses of the legislature II added
a proviso that there should be no
salary for the extra session, with the
result that the appropriation bills are
now passed during the regular SEES
sion. But 1t is desirable, think, to
increase the salary for the regular
session, because II is growing more
and more difficult TO get good men
to run with the present salary. The
cost of living is somewhat high in
Honolulu, and the numerous county
offices lately created have come into
competition with the legislative of,

All for Fun.

From the Columbus Journal.
If ever there should be an inquiry
whether the intellectual Vigor of the
human race is on the ascent or decline.
we would be quite sure that the over
ruling propensity to deal in joke and fun
will figure in the argument, on the side
of the declining tendency. 1t is almost
universal that the leading feature Of con-
versation is fun. something to laugh at
that does not require attention or thought
There are so many people who think IL Is
incumbent upon them to say something
smart and witty that they are constantly
running the risk Of appearing silly or
a bsurd.
Indiscriminate fun is fatal 10 conversa-
ton because it eliminates thought; ii cuts
off the respect for truth and reality Fun
is always on the surface. 1t is the foam;
something without substance. And are
we then to have no fun and to denounce
the joke as an interloper? OF course not.
Fun has as much right in the world as
sense no more; and there is the rub, but
some people give it all the room and
won't let sense have a bit of space.
And this fact. coming back-to the orig
inal inquiry. supports the idea that the
vigor Of the human race is
rather on the decline. because the eXer-
else of the brain i'll getting off a joke is

Seriousness Of Conditions.

1.-THE condition in Liberia is really Sc
rious. Between forty and fifty thousand
civilized negroes, for the most part de-
scendants of the original colonists from
the United States, occupy territory
comprising $4,000 square miles in which
there are also over a million and half
members of uncivilized natives tribes.
The civilized part of the population have
been in a great degree cut out from any
intimate relation with the rest of the

ton with no acquired skill III the art

cially difficult to control the native
tribes or to conduct their own govern
ment in accordance with modern re-
uuirementS

Character of Support

Speaking of his Interviews with the
commission which came over from Ii
IBERIA to apply to the United States for
assistance in maintaining its indepen-
dence and to enable it to carry on a
peaceful and orderly government, Mr.,
Root says:
THE particular form of assistance
which the commissioners contemplated in
their application was chiefly d guarantee
by the United States of the territorial
and political integrity of Liberia, with
such reservations and upon such con-
dtions as might be agreed upon. Upon
being convinced that such guarantee
was impracticable, the commissioners
further requested that the United States
should lend to Liberia officers to aid in
the conduct of its administration and
should confer with the governments Of
other countries having interests upon the
west coast of Africa, and particularly
with Great Britain. which has rendered
material assistance to Liberia In the
past, with view to ascertain how best
to render assistance, and with a view to
give to Liberia the moral support which
would result from evidence of interest
in her welfare on the part OF the United
States.
ITO these requests attentive consid-
Grafton has been given. There have been
full conferences. with the commissioners
and with Booker T. Washington, who
was much interested in their mission, and
with representatives of other interests
powers, and reports from general and
from special representatives of the Unit
ed States in Liberia, and the conclusion
reached by the State Department is quite
clear that Liberia is very much in need
Of assistance, that the United States can
help her substantially and that it is our
duty to help her.

Germans Control Trade.

The commercial interests are almost en-
tirely in the hands of Germans, who cul-
tivate several large farms. buy all the
rubber that is offered for export and ship
whatever coffee, cotton and cocoa is pro-
duced; but 1t is all of an inferior quality
for lack Of cultivation.
The opportunities for agricultural en-
terpriseS are beyond comparison. but
nothing can be done without capital. The
Germans control the import trade. which
amounts to about $4,000 year.
Although England has given the United
States the most definite assurances that
it has no designs upon the independence
or the integrity of Liberia Mr. Bryce, the
British amba SSador, has impressed upon
Secretary Bacon, and Earl Grey, the head
of the British foreign office has impressed
upon Ambassador Reid that IT is impera-
tive to the interests of Sierra Leone that
there shall be an honest and effective ad-
ministration of the Liberian government,
and England is likely at any time to take
possession to stop the border raids and
collect the arrears of interest on the Lii
berian bonds.
France has had designs upon Liberia
for long time and already occupies
about one-fifth of Liberian territory
under a treaty negotiated in 1907, which,
IT is alleged, was obtained by bribery and
coercion. Both England and France have
repeatedly informed this government that
they would welcome the cooperation Of
the United States in the preservation of
order and the reformation of the govern
ment of Liberia.

.SULPH|DES STRUCK IN RYE COPPER
 PROPERTY
GOOD BODY RUNNING SIX PER CENT ENCOUNTERED IN
 LONG TUNNEL
RYE RAILROAD RUM0RS RIFE
REPORT or CLARK ROAD COMING THAT WAY CREATES MILD
 EXCITEMENT

News of strike at the Rye Copper mine, located sixteen miles from Pay. son, was brought to Globe yesterday by II. S. Duncan, the superintendent. X considerable body of sulphide ore running about 6 per cent in copper was encountered recently in the long tunnel which is being run under the Mazatzal mountain to tap large iron dyke that occurs on the surface and is believed to carry good copper values at some depth.
 The sulphides were opened up in n crosscut from the tunnel at distance of seventeen feet. The crosseut leaves the tunnel about 325 feet from its mouth. As developed so far, the sul. phide ore is good concentrating material and is getting to be q better grade of stuff as the erosscut is extended. From all indications, the ore body found will extend from the end of the present crosscut to the big dyke toward which the tunnel is being driven. The depth at which the sulphides were found was about 32j feet.
 It is estimated that the tunnel will tap the iron dyke at distance of about 1000 feet from the mouth and there an extensive body of high grade ore will probably be developed. The Rye Copper company will put another shift at work on it's mine soon. Some surface improvements, including sub stantial new boarding house, will be commenced in a few days.
 bit of railroad news that should he of interest to the people of Globe is the fact that surveyor from the office of Ex Senator W. A. Clark, who built the Salt Lake line of railroad, has been at work lately in the vicinity of the Rye Copper mine making a sur vey for q railway from Jerome 10 Globe. The probable route as laid out at present runs down the East Verde, past Rye. down the east side of the Tonto, and thence up the Pmal creek to Globe Senator Clark has extensive mining property eight miles north of Rye and it is supposed that the provid- ing of transportation for the district in which he is interested is one of his motives for planning railroad through that section.
