dunno STARTS TEAPOT
TEMPEST BY REQUEST

An article appearing in the issue
of the Journal on January relative
to the examination of the books Of
the Reno merchants by an agent Of
the Southern Pacific Company was,
We think, a little misleading as to the
conclusions to be drawn relative to
such an examination.
The merchants of Reno and the
Nevada Railroad Commission, if they
win the fight for better rates for
Reno must win upon the acts shown.
1t is useless and silly for either
side to expect the Interstate Com
merce Commission to enter into an
order relative to a subject of such
very great Importance and affecting
so large a number Of persons except
upon full and complete preSenta-
tion of facts. The Railroad Commits
sion will work to that end. They be-
lieve that anything that can be CLEAN
chants can in no manner affect the
real issues involved.
At the same time they recognize
the right of the railroad company to
prepare their side of the case as
their counsel shall See fit, and if they
think that such evidence can be of
avail in determining the facts y the
controversy, they can doubtless OBJ
tain from the Commissioner who
tries the case an order directing
these merchants, who are complain
ants in the case, to give such data
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1909-01-06

as may be necessary.
Giving the information now will
merely facilitate matters and bring
results more quickly. The issues are
already defined by the bill of COM
plant and answer now on file with
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion.
No side issues or irrelevant mat
ters will be allowed to obscure the
main points. The case must be won
facts sustain or do not sustain the
claims already asserted. The Rail
road Commission of New. appreciates
very keenly the Importance Of the
contest to Reno, and to the entire
State.
They have reason to know the
quality of the opposition which they
have to meet and to prepare accord
ingly.
They do not, however, see any
thing to gain through fear, suspicion
or rancor This investigation should
proceed in full confidence that the
facts are upon our side.
We welcome a thorough inveSu-
CATION of the facts. Upon them we
will stand or fall, and We do not fear
any investigation the Southern Pa
cific may see fit to make concerning
merchandising in Reno. In this my
fellow Commissioners are fully in ac-
cord with me.

naked savages. though not perhaps can
nibals. Each island was a separate
kingdom. and on the large island Of
Hawaii FROM which the territory takes
it's name there were several kings. In
1775 Capt. Cock discovered the islands
and a few years later Van Couver land
cd there. There was a young chief on
the island Of Hawaii who had the wis
dom to see that these strangers were OF
q civilization far beyond his own and he
determined to make use of it. He first
made the conquest Of his own island
and brought all the petty kings there
beneath his rule. He then enlisted the
services of a few white men who had
been sailors on some of the wandering
vessels; purchased some cannon and
built ships to carry them and then
equipped an army of invasion and set
out upon the ambitious enterprise of
subduing the Archipelago. With his
superior equipment, and with his SUI
perior genius also, for though a savage
he was a man Of intellectual force as
well as physical prowess, he soon
brought all the islands under his do
minion and founded the monarchy
which existed down to the overthrow
of Queen Liiiuokalani in 1892. This
king, who is to the Kanaka what Wash
ington is to us, is known in their his
tory as Kamehameha the Great, and his
name and his statues can be found in
every part of every island.
He founded a strong government and
administered it with an iron hand for a
quarter of a century and his dynasty
held undisputed sway for nearly a hum
dred years. Kamehameha was a savage
and an idol worshipper, but Van Couver
had not only brought cattle and horses
he had told the people of the true re-
ligion and had c%ouncilled the king
against the pernicious tabu. This was
the means whereby the most cruel tyr
thority of his wooden gods a tabu would
be pronounced to suit the fancy of the
king. II fish were tabu then no one
the king could eat fish for fear of
the wrath to come. Women and men
could lever eat together because of a
tabu. The family circle
would be invaded and rights the most
sacred would be violated all under the
of tabu.
"In the course of time a number of
young natives were brought to Boston
and educated and returned to the is
lands to tell the story of the Cross.
This was the first work of the America
Missionary Society in the islands and
it bore fruit rapidly. So rapidly in fact
that when Kamehameh died faith in his
idols and idolatrous priests had been
SO undermined that the whole system of
crumbled and disappeared within
a year.
