OPIUM DEAL
Attorney Tries To Prove
Case Put Up
Job

Lcong Kee was found guilty at
the police court this morning of hav-
ing sold opium to an informer for
the police. The case was a peculiar
one. as the informer did not tell n
straight story about some of the in
cidents that occurred at the time he
purchased the dope.
Judge HUMPHREYS appeared for the
accused and put up a good defense
that was made possible by the fact
that the informer had purchased to-
bacco while In the Chinese house.
The defense claimed that the mark
ed coin that was found in the store
drawer was rendered IN payment OF
the tobacco and not The opium. Hum
phrics also tried 10 prove, through
the defendant, that the informer had
brought opium of his own into the
house in order to put up job on the
defendant.
The court listened to all the evil
dence in the case and then found the
defendant guilty and ordered him to
pay n fine of $50 and costs.

CALIFORNIA; TEST.

Primaries held today in the State
of California will show pretty con-
clusively whether the lnsurgent spirit
has thoroughly permeated the life of
that great State.
Hiram Johnson for the Governor
ship and William Kent for Congress
are the candidates about whom the
hopes of the Insurgent forces have
centered. They are both good men,
exceptionally able men. They will
represent the people and come as
near to making a practice Of the
square deal in public life as 1t is pos
sible to do.
But the question Of the hour is
whether California is even yet thor
oughly aroused, whether it has not
become so much in the habit Of being
controlled by the railroads and the
Interests that II does not know how
TO break loose.
If California does eventually wake
up, there Is no doubt of the result.

West never do anything by halves,

ANDREWS and The REPUBLICAN
ORGANIZATION.

The necessity for the elimination of
Lorrin Andrews from the manage
ment of the Republican party requires
no more serious and specific charge
than his record in his own precinct
Andrews continued in his present
position means the defeat of the Re-
publican party, because the party as
a whole will merely duplicate on a
broader scale the revolt that Is on in
Manoa. Continuation Of Andrews in
Office makes the Republican party
sponsor for n brand of politics the
voters will not support.
If Andrews was placed in the posi-
ton OF assistant secretary to do what
he has been doing, then II means that
the Republican organization is mere
ly a medium for building up system
that can be bought and sold to serve
the purposes of whoever puts up the
money and delivered by whoever is in
charge Of the manipulation at head
quarters,
Any party operating and conducted
under such conditions deserves to go
to defeat. The sooner the true char
acter of such an institution is made
manifest the better, because the hon
est average citizen has nothing but
condemnation and eternal opposition
for work and workers of this type.
As an officer or eniploye or what
ever he may be of the Republican
Central Committee, Andrews has made
complete failure in the capacity OF
one inspiring increased confidence in
the organization on the part of the
rank and file. We doubt that the
widespread suspicion and distrust he
has aroused has ever been equaled by
any man at headquarters.
Andrews salary has come Indirect
ly from important taxpaying inter-
ests. The role in which he has shone
with the greatest brilliance is in the
espousal of the candidacy of Joel c,

PROTECT LANDING PRIVILEGES
OF The PEOPLE.

Clearly the commission appointed
under authority Of the Legislature TO
Investigate the wharves and landings
Of the Territory, Is in favor Of the
pubic-owned wharf in the larger and
more important ports.
on this matter the commission has
followed the lines Of the best thought
in the United States. where the peo-
pie have discovered all too late that
by dispensing of their waterfront to
private corporations they have given
the transportation companies the OPP
pOrtunity To grasp the public by the
throat and demand tribute from the
shippers for the use of and to pass
over what should be their own prop
erty.
Under local conditions the small
err landings can be operated at less
expense by private interests than by
the government. but there Is no Qucs-
ton that the government and the pcO-
pie generally should, be especially on
guard against any surrender Of pub
lie rights and public property con-
trolling transportation outlets, into
the hands of private interests.
