who have been out with their little but ton-hooks, catching hookworms and in terviewing them for the papers, all agree that the disease is characterized by brief spell of intense nervous excitement followed by 8 long period of excessive laziness If that's true. and far be 1t from me to deny It., you can see right away that it's a national complaint and we're all victims. You're one and I'm another.
 s'F instance now, 8 young congress- man starts to Washington perfectly con vinced that when he gets there he's go- ing to stalk down the aisle of the House and hand Uncle Joe Cannon line of talk that will make that venerable, but practical statesman, swallow his cigar so suddenly he'll have heartburn all the way down. He's so worked up by the warmth of his virtuous reserves that he throws off heat waves like an asphalt street in the middle of July. That's the first stage of the complaint. The hook worm has him and he doesn't know It. At the end of couple of weeks he's ob- served approaching The Presence on his waistcoat, with his nose in the dust, begging humbly for the tail-end place on the committee in acoustics and venti- laton, which is stage 2.
 "A fearless young prosecutor with an eye like an eagles and chin like pav- K, goes vice with the express purpose of driving the money lenders out of the temple of his fathers But the hookworm is already gnawing at his vitals. Pretty soon he's quitting office and taking s50000 retain CT from few large corporations to repre- sent them in legal capacity, with partlc- ular attention paid to state legislatures and the election of United States Sena- tors. Owing no doubt to the ravages of the hookworm other changes have taken place in him. He now has the eye of paving block and the chin of an eagle. which hasn't any chin to speak of, as you may have noticed yourself if you've done much frolicing around in the com- pany of eagles.
 'Takng us as a whole, we're all in the same fix as these two. Some morning we're seized with the preliminary symp- toms, and we get all stirred up over some public outrage and run around cutting figure eights. and clamoring for legisla- ton and lynch law and the hearts blood of few scoundrels. Tn about forty-eight hours or so, the reaction has set in and we're all dozing5 off in the hammock, and if some internal busybody of a profess sional reformer comes around waking us up with foolish demands for drastic meas ures. we sick the dog on him."
 "Be that as 1t may" said the House Detective sagely 'it looks to me like the hookworm is goin' to find himself in a purty tight place with John D. and his million dollars out after him."
 "I know a place where he'd find the competition even harder" said the Hotel Clerk
 "Where'd that be?'' asked the House Detective.
 ''Trying to, make living inside of Standard Oil directors" said the Hotel Clerk. s

REVERSES DECISION
OF LOWER COURTS
iHootlespers Must Beat Officers TO
Trains or Have Their cooGs
cpntiscated.

Guthrie, Okla. Oct. 5.--If residents
az Oklahoma wish to receive shipments
Of intoxicants and dispose Of same in
violation Of the state prohibition laws,
they must get to the incoming train
ahead of the officers OF the law If they
expect to obtain possession Of the con-
signment before the law lays violent
hands on 1t.
This was the effect of the decision
OF the state supreme court yesterday
in which all justices concurred and
which reversed the findings Of the
lower civil courts. These courts and
the Oklahoma criminal court of ap-
peals have held that the interstate
commerce laws protected the ship
ment Of liquor while it was on the
premises of the railroad and until ac-
tualIy delivered to the consignee.
The decision yesterday was in the
case Of B. w. Tucker, who took advan-
tage Of the usual court finding and
shipped a car load of beer to Oklaho-
ma City, where he was disposing of It
nom the car in the Santa Fe yards.
Yesterdays decision brings two ap-
pelIate courts Of the state into direct
conflict and it is understood the Grim
inal court OF appeals win stand by Its
own Interpretation of the law.
In its syllabus the court says:
A citizen OF Oklahoma having pur-
chased intoxicating liquors in another
state and caused the same to be trans
ported to him as consignee in this
state by an interstate shipment the
laws OF the state by virtue Of the po-
Iice power, attach themselves imme-
diately after the contamination OF the
delivery by the carrier to the con-
hgnee.
Such consignee having received the
actual and exclusive possession Of
such liquors from the carrier at its
depot and retaining such possession
on its said premises with the purpose
and the intention OF bartering the
same contrary to the laws OF this
aate. such liQuors may be seized and
confiscated under sections s and 6 Of
the enforcing act. before the same
have been by said consignee conveyed
from the carriers premises to the con-
Mgnees residence. place of business
or warehouse.
Such consignee having received the
actual and exclusive possession Of such
liquors from the carrier at is depot,
and retaining such possession on its
premises for his or his family's use,
such liquors cannot be seized and con-
flscated under Sections and 6 Of the
enforcing act either before or after
the same have been conveyed from the
carriers premises to the consignee's
residence.
The opinion further holds that if a
consignee obtained liquors and con-
veyed them to his home for his own
use but afterwards changed his inteE-
ton and have them in his possession
in his home for sale. they would be
subject to forfeiture, although the
proof would be on the state.

WAGE AGITATION,
ITS ORIGIN AND POLICY

claimed that IL the agitation would
cease the planters would raise the
wages. Mr.. Y. Sega, the editor Of the
Nippu Jill, wrote to Mr.. w. o. Smith,
on the 9th inst, as follows:
"Sir: 1t is really painful to us to
read in Japanese papers, the Hawaii
Shinpo and the Daily Chronicle, that,
while the planters are resolved to raise
the wages of the plantation hands, the
execution thereof is deferred on ac-
count of tho insistent demand of this
paper for higher wages.
"It is respectfully submitted that we
represent the real sentiment of the
working class of these islands. 1t is
their and our earnest wish that the
wages of the plantation hands be inn
mediately raised to at least twenty
two dollars and a half q month, or over.
Do tho planters intend, as the Japanese
papers allege, to raise the wages of the
plantation hands to sum above at
least twenty-five dollars and a half per
month, on condition that we cease to
demand higher wagesf We beg leave
to ask you, therefore, the real senn.
ment of the planters in the premises.
"(Signed) Y. SOGA,
"Pres. and Editor of the Nippu Jill"
Mr.. Sega has received no reply to
this letter.
We believe settlement could be
, reached, if the representatives of the
Higher Wage Association could have q
meeting with the planters.
We intend, in few days, to have a
statement of our case, giving reasons
and statistics, printed and sent to all
persons interested in the plantations.
Respectfully yours,
| FRED X. MAKING.
The Advertiser recalls making no
statement that the planters would raise
wages if the agitation ceased. This
paper does not consider itself authoriz.
