RESULTS OF DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARY

The Democratic primary for the
nomination of State and legislative
candidates was held last Thursday,
end up to today no definite official
announcement of the result has
been made. Notwithstanding the
official canvass of the ballots took
place Monday throughout the State,
there i ; some degree of uncertainty
of the nomination of some of the
candidates, notably the Commits
sioner of Agriculture and Immigra-
ton. A few days ago ]. Thompson
Brown of Bedford county seemed
safely in the lead, but today's re-
ports indicate that George W. Koin-
or, the incumbent, has made con-
siderable gains, and Mr.. Brown has
only 279 majority, with seven coun'
ties yet to be heard from. These
counties may change the result, but
the general impression is that Mr..
Brown has secured the nomination
by a good majority.
For the Governorship. Judge
William Hodges Mann of NOttoway
has won the nomination over the
Hon. Harry St. George Tucker Of
Lexington by a majority of about
four thousand, with five counties
yet to be heard from. This lead
will not be materially changed, it is
thought. when the official returns
are all in.
The campaign just closed was re-
markable in several particulars.
The gubernatorial candidates waged
a strenuous canvass, making ad-
dresses in all parts of the State.
Considerable feelings was engend-
cred among the followers of each,
and the general mass of voters
seemed to resent that kind of a !
campaign in the Democratic ranks. |
AS a result many of the sovereigns |
remained away from the polls.
Another factor in accounting for the |
smallnes of the vote was the matter
of pledge to the nominees. In most |
places the pledge was printed on
the ballots, but in a few towns it
was omitted. This was construed
to mean that those participating in
the primary were not bound to sup
port the nominees unless they chose
so TO do. This position is contrary
to all party usage. Any one enter
ing the primary is in honor bound
to abide by the result of the pri-
mary and support the nominees,
whether the pledge is actually
printed on the ballots or not.
Now that the primary is over. all
true Democrats cannot do otherwise
than fall into line and support the
nominees. The differences of the
should be forgotten and
the rank and file Of the party. and
the leaders as well, should use
W hatever legitimate influence they
possess for the success Of the party
at the polls in November.

Not only the planters and the labor,

no doubt that the strike is justified
from the legal and the economic points

the labor to protect itself against the

ing from the standpoint of the general
community, no strike has been bene-

That the whole community depends up
on the sugar industry, nothing has been
more dreadful to the general commu-
NIFTY than the strike on the plantations,
and naturally the whole community
must feel the responsibility to settle
Ihe strike or to try to do something
with view of settling the strike. In
tins sense, you are right in saying that
the Japanese merchants of Honolulu
are responsible for the continuation of
the strike. But, is it not pitiful to
blame only the japanese merchants of
Honolulu for keeping the strike up9
Are there not any other persons who
are more qualified to settle the Difficult.
tya Are there not any Christian min,
listers IN town to step in and try to

the proper way to the press, instead OF
calling the strikers Thugs and Agi-

strike can be settled or how the diff

One word more. / believe thai no
decent man can deny the Justification
of the principle of the higher wages.
And it is true that the japanese mer-
chants of Honolulu are all in favor of
the principle Of the higher wages. But
is it not too FASTENED Judgment to say
that the japanese merchants of Homo,

they stand up to the cause of the

Honolulu, July s, 1909.

Honolulu, July s, 1909.
Editor Advertiser: [ was much in
terested in reading your editorial, g Re
sponsibility for the strike,' which ap-
peared on your paper yesterday morn
ing.
am sorry, however, to say that my
views in regard to the strike question
are not in accordance with yours. You
said that, the strike was started by the
japanese merchants, retail and whole
sale, of the city of Honolulu, and that
the strike has been continued by them
until this day. 1t seems to me your
views on the question are logically to
say that no one except the japanese
merchants in Honolulu is responsible
for the strike, and this is the very
point on which 1 cannot agree with
your opinion.
1 do believe that, instead of the jap
anese merchants in Honolulu, the plan
ters aud the laborers are responsible
tor starting the strike, and that the
general community is responsible for
continuing the strike until this day.
One must know why the strike occurred.
The strike occurred, because the de-
mands made by the laborers were re-
fused by the planters. Perhaps the de-
mands made by the laborers were I'M
reasonable Ct am not sure Of it). Grant,
ing that the demands We're unreason-
able, there ought to have been some
ways to prevent the strike on the part
of the planters. Wise planters would
never miss the chance to soothe the
disconnected laborers.
From the beginning of the strike,
the planters have not shown any good
will towards the laborers to settle the
difficulty but on the contrary, they had
the special meeting on May q, at
which they passed unanimously the
resolution to fight with the strikers TO
the last. While on the other hand, the
strikers backed by the whole planta-

As to Humility.

Philosophers have quarreled over the
question Of humility. whether or not 1t
Is a virtue. Since humility is so rare
it would seem scarcely TO be worth dis
cussion. II is said that Epictetus in
five places breaches humility: IF thou
passest for a person of consequence in
the opinion of some people, distrust
myself. No lifting up of the eyebrows.
Be nothing in thine own eyes-if thou
seekest to please thou art lost Give
place TO all men; prefer them to thy
self: assist them all" Theologians
have contended that humility cost
nothing TO Epictetus. who was slave.
lie was humble by station as the
learned scholar might be proud by sta
ton. Noltaire calls humility the mod
esty of the soul These gentlemen
did not live in the twentieth century.
