SAYS MESSAGE OF TAFT is
DISAPPOINTING THROUGHOUT
LaFoiIette Charges That President
Seeks to Side Step All I'M
portant Issues.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 17.-(Spec-
ial.)-That President Taft's message
to congress is disappointing" that
Rooseve policies are sidestepped and
that the hardness of the executive
in presenting issues of vital import
ance leaves congress and the public

by Senator LaFo' lette today
For the first time since the election
Of President Taft. Senator LaFo,lette
has determined to 'et the public know
what he thinks of the Taft admins
tration. In no uncertain terms he
announces his views and the whole
tenor of the article would indicate
that President Taft has forsaken the
Roosevelt po{icies.'
After reviewing President Taft's
speech of acceptance last March, and
his many promises, Senator LaFol-
lette turns to a discussion Of the tar

have spoken strongly.

Tafts speech Of acceptance and in
his addresses during the campaign is

attention to the outrageous condi-
tons N the workhouse and jail Of

where President Taft says that fol-

passage Of a ship subsidy bill
I'VE regret to say that the message
Is disappointing. 1t was to be ex-

servative and judicial in it's tone, but
The country did not expect an ex-

With reference to our article in Sun

points out that the conclusions we ar
rive at are inaccurate. We stated that
" the Russian labOrer will be inOculated
with the virus that has permeated the

Hawaii is only building up for itself
more serious difficulties and more un-

that dolce far niente which everyone
who has touched its shores has enjoy
cd, and leaving then has regretted. -
In this connection the correspondent
states that very little dissatisfaction
among the japanese laborers in the Is
lands exists The recent troubles were
the work entirely of a discredited band
of japanese, who only partially sue
ceeded in obtaining what they wanted
The japanese now in the Islands are
very well satisfied with the conditions
under which they live. They have
homes provided for them by the plant
ers. free medical service. and other ad,
, vantages that place them far above the
ordinary laboring man in matters OF
comfort. Naturally, as the years pas;
on they save money and take up in
dependent work. This the Japanes.
are now doing in large numbers. ant
the industry they favor is pineapple
growing. They now own thousands O.
acres of this form of property an,
great fortunes are being nade by man,
