TIE DUTY ON

I'm the absence of President Morgan,

of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
afternoon Much of the time of the
session was taken up in the reading
of minutes of previous meetings and

The chairman called attention to the
death of Henry r. Macfarlane, an ODD

A lengthy letter from Mr. Mcclellan

stead of two) of the members of the
Ways and Means Committee, | am
now informed by two of our friends on
the committee that those three commit
teemen Qncluding Chairman Payne),
together with those formerly opposed
to us, have forced through vote to re-
port a committee amendment on para
graph 275, giving a rate of eight cents
per cubic foot on fresh pines. AS
there is an average of nearly fourteen
| pines to the cubic foot of the Cuban
importation, this amounts to a reduc-
ton of almost thirty-one per cent from
the rate per thousand.
The absolute injustice of such an al.
tentative rate has been clearly sci

as one of my friends on the committee
now gotten to the place where actua
justice does not control; it is now q
struggle between conflicting interests
1t is unlikely that we can prevent
the adoption of this committee amend
ment in the House, and we shall now
transfer our main fight to the Senate.
We shall use every available means
not only to have this rate corrected
in the Senate, but also to have tn,
basic rate increased to $40 per thou
sand. If that were done, it might D'
reduced to eight dollars again in con
ference, but by that means we would
be assured of the latter rate as tn,
minimum, and with it a cubic foo
rate that would be. real equivalent
instead of being a Joker" as it nov
is.

THE HOUSE

There was nothing doing in the
House yesterday afternoon beyond tine
resolving of the House into Commit
tee of the Whole on the general cleo
ton law, Senate Bill 121.
Kawewehi was i'm the chair at the
clerks desk and managed to make a
little fun, though there was nothing
serious in his somewhat undignihcd
invitation to meet any member in the
hall who might refuse to be disciplined
by the Honorable Kawewehl.
Kawewehi playfully ordered Alfonso
to sit down when the latter was en-
deavoring to force a point Of argu-
ment
Fat jolly, unserious Kawewehi
meant no harm. His face was wreath
ed in smiles and he looked ut of the
corner of his eye toward the press
table for notice from that quarter.
Il won't sit down. declared Alfonso,
perhaps taking Kawewehi's order semi
seriously, until | get ready He
finished his argument and then sat.
Later Kawewehi made the joking re-
mark that none of the members must
dare attempt to make a fool of him,
for if they did he would meet any uhe
who tried to do so in the hallway and
have it out with him. But the pro.
ceedings in Committee of the Whole,
were more or less playful throughout
and he certainly did not mean it the
way some folks understood him. While
his action was childishly playful, 4
was in no way a genuine challenge t.
combat in the corridor The mem
bers of the House took the remark In
the spirit in which it was meant, un'
dignified as was the talk of the char
man.
This afternoon, it is expected, thu
election bill will be finished in Com
mittee of the Whole.

KAPPA LANDS

EDITOR STAR: 1t seems strange
that our local legislature can afford to
fool away their time squabbling about
alleged typewriting graft and discuss
ing whether girls are to be permitted
to wear hat pins made from military
buttons, and whether laymen may be
allowed to doctor 'Kona nightingales"
while they apparently cannot devote
some hours to the discussion of what
may be considered to be one of the
most weighty questions affecting the
future prosperity of these islands,
namely; the closer settlement of the
land with white settlers. BY white
settlers is meant, Independent settlers
owning and farming their own lands
and not a lot of coolies Imported for
the sole benefit of the small class who
draw the bulk of dividends derived
from the sugar plantations. What,
for instance, is to be done with the
Kappa lands, not the sand lots on the
beach which were auctioned off lately,
but the good agricultural land with
the valuable water rights appertaining
thereto. The land has been surveyed
and resurveyed, has been inspected by
the present Governor, Land Commits
sioner and Secretary and has been va
lued by a party of three appointed by
the governor, and yet after all this
fuss, nothing has been done. Is the
same old game to be carried out, that
is, wait until the Legislature adjourns
and then lease the Kappa lands to
either the Makee Sugar Company or
the Hanamaulu plantation; or are they
to be traded away for some town lots
like the government lands on Lanai
The electors of this county are DESTROYS
of knowing what the future policy OF
the local government is to be in regard
to the public lands of the county. Are
the good agricultural lands belonging
to the government to be kept CLOSED
against the small settler and leased Of
sold or traded away like Lanai anC
Omaopio to the large corporations anC
sugar barons? If the latter is to b,
the case then the sooner the Hawaiian
Promotion stops talking about open
ings here for white settlers, the better

Jennie Shepherd, colored, one of the two
uegresses who created much trouble and
excitement on a southbound South Omaha
car Monday night, was fined IS and costs
for being drunk, It being shown in court
she had nothing to do with the cutting
of Andrew hirschbaum or Deputy Sheriff
Jim Chcsak. The only otfense of the
shepherd woman was that she used OBJ
scene language and created a disturbance.

charged with cutting young Kirschbaum
and the deputy, will DO nIraigned later.

RebuiIdinE of the road
Goes On.

Within the next twelve months won
derful work Of rehabilitation is slated to
take place in the Chicago Great Western
railroad. Between $IOO0,OOO and S,OO0,00 Is
o be spent by the system on its lines
between Omaha and Chicago and Chicago
and the Twin cities.
Marshall Craig, local city passenger and
ticket agent for the Maple Leaf route, says
that the methods as well as the physical
character Of the road are to be changed.
IN stigma Of the rate cutter is to be
removed and the line will be operated In
harmony with other roads running out Of
Chicago.
Through service on the Great Western be-
tween Chicago and Omaha began In jan
uary. 1904, when the local office was
established. Through trains for the windy
city and for st. Paul now run into the
union station. The local service between
Omaha and Fort Dodge began in August,
1903.
In connection with the rebuilding Of the
road In which millions Of dollars are to
be employed, 1t Is expected that officials
viii endeavor 70 make the Maple Leaf, one
Of the strong lines between Chicago and
Omaha.
Among the changes to be made in the
physical condition Of the property Is the
laying of 1900 tons of steel rails Weighing
sighty-nve pounds to the yard. Thirty-four
locomotives Of the heaviest type have been
ordered for the freight service, 1000 forty
ton box cars have been provided, 200 steel
ballast cars and ten new passenger
coaches ordered. Forty passenger cars and
700 freight cars have been ordered to the
yhops for repairs at certified times in the
future. The block system of governing
rains will be established all over the route
As fast as it can be built.

The branch will be continued to a connec-

The completion of the Cody branch, there

THERE is no reasonable probability
that the Hatch anti-option bill will
pass at this session, or at any other
session, until the country begins to
kick up bigger row about the matter
than 1t has kicked up yet. And, after
all, this Is not surprising. For instance,
while the leaders of the bull movement
In wheat have to be guarded against
people who would do violence to them
because they have raised the price OF
bread, producers and others who have
wheat to sell look upon them as bene-
factors. In like manner, II 1t were
bear, instead Of bull movement
that was carrying the day, the posi-
tions of the contending elements would
be exactly opposed to what they are.
It is very much a question Of whose
x~is being gored. We are inclined to
think that this option system is wrong
as now constituted. There Is nothing
wrong with the idea of buying and SELL
ing for future delivery; but If it were
possible to confine such transactions
to a system that would compel the
actual delivery Of every sale, the gen.
eral effect would be more wholesome.

In naming the Hon. ]. s. Brice to
membership on the dispensary wind
ing-up commission, we think Govern
or Ansel has made a most admirable
selection, and II the office carried with
II compensation commensurate with
the services Of a man like Mr.. Brice
we would say also that the appoint
ment was a highly deserved tribute
OF course, there are many influences
that have contributed to the downfall
of the state dispensary; but no other
one influence has been so potent as
what is known as the Brice law, which
gave the voters Of the different coun-
ties the right to say whether the sale
Of liquor should be maintained around
their respective homes. Except for the
Brice law, which put the matter up to
the people of the state; which gave the
voters the opportunity to register their
real sentiments, the condition Of South
Carolina would be much worse than
1t IS, morally, politically and other
wise. And as a member Of this board
pay or no pay, Mr.. Brice can be de-
pended upon to do his full duty.

TILLMAN AT WHITE HOUSE.
First Visit Since Fistieuff With Nc
laurin.

Washington, April 20.-A visit to the
White House after seven years alb
sence, was paid today by Senator TILL
man Of South Carolina and he received
a cordial greeting from President Taft.
His appearance In the executive OF
fees created a sensation.
The senator walked to the White
House unaccompanied, but left with
Senator Beveridge of Indiana, riding
to the capitol with the latter In his
automobile.
Booker T. Washington was waiting
to see the president when Senator TILL
man arrived. The. South Carolinian
was Immediately shown into Mr. Tafts
private office. The call was purely OF
a social nature, 1t was declared.
"I came" said Senator Tillman, ITO
see If the office seekers had fried any
fat off the president, but they haven't
fried a pound"
Asked why he had never visited the
White House in the past. Senator Till
man replied, 81 waited until a gentle
man got here"
It's not necessary to make a nine
days wonder Of my visit to President
Taft" said Mr.. Tillman after his re-
turn to the capitol. I'VE have always
been good friends, and have frequent
ly gone to see him as secretary OF war.
Whether he has inherited his office
from Roosevelt or been elected by the
people there is no reason for any one
to suppose that he has inherited Roose-
velt's meanness."
Mr.. Tillman said that he merely
went to the White House to say good
morning to the president and to ex-
press his qualification upon having
q gentleman there"
ident and no advice to Offer" said Mr..
Tillman. Il would have gone to see
him sooner had 1t not been for the
fact that l have been out Of the city.
have taken the first convenient op-
portunity to call upon him."
While at the White House Senator
Tillman saw Booker Washington for
the first time.
81 was very curious to see him"
said Mr.. Tilman, because 1t enabled
me to draw my own conclusion as to
the percentage Of white blood there Is
in him. 1t is over half"
Asked what impression he formed Of
Washington, Mr.. Tillman replied
| Booker Washington is considered a
great negro, and he has great intellec-
tual powers. He has a JeSuitical face.
If he had not been engaged with a
lot of people about him, should have
gone up to him and chatted with him.
l would like to discuss the race ques-
tion with Booker Washington. I
would like to ask him q lot of ques-
tions."
