senate last Saturday, after having
been before the house since January.
u provides that any money order Of
fee may accept deposits of a dollar or
more, or which the government will

posit more than $500. The money SO
deposited will be deposited in a local
bank, which must pay two and a
quarter per cent. for its use, and will
keep it indefinitely, except IL case OF
war, when the president may with.
draw it. The bill now goes to the
house for It's approval.

THE senator from Arkansas, the
Hon. JEFF Davis, who long has claim
ed all the virtue In the senate, has
admitted that he is to receive pay If a
certain bill relating to some land In
Arkansas is passed. 1t is against the
law, and contrary to ordinary good
morals for a senator to receive pay
for such service. AS the Arkansas
senator has spent so much time and
oratorY in criticising other people, es-
pecially John ID. Rockefeller it looks
peculiar for this critic to confess to de-
yiations from the standards OF moral
ity that are considered worse than
anything he has been able to accuse
Mr.. Rockefeller Of doing.

CONCERNING
Mr.. CATHCART

Someone has objected to certain ex-
pressons concerning John w. Cathcart
which appeared in The Democrat Of
last Saturday, misconstruing them as
referring to the private moral life Of
Mr. Cathcart. Nothing could be far
Their from being correct. The Demo-
crat does not believe that John w.
Cathcart' s record as public official en-
titles him to reelection, but as private
citizen Mr.. Cathcart is, The Democrat
believes, above criticism. His private
life this paper believes to be exemplary
and the Democrats are confident that
he will make model private citizen
which is what they want him to be-
come. They are confident that the cleo
ton of tomorrow will give him the OPP
portunity to retire to private life and to
resume the private practice Of law. Mr..
Cathcart is too competent lawyer to
have to be trammeled with the petty
details of public office and he should.
therefore. not take his coming defeat
too much to heart.
The Democrat, which itself retires
from public life and from the political
arena tomorrow, will be glad to retire
in company with Mr. Cathcart.

given up all hope of winning it hon.
estly.
AS an example of the condition which
prevails, in the third precinct Of the
fifth district, in Koolau, the polling
place Of which is at Punaluu there are
only 101 registered voters. Out Of this
number the Republicans have employed
no less than twenty runners, ten watch
ers, five clerks and five messengers -
total Of forty. All Of the twenty run
ners come from Hauula, where there
are but thirty-five registered voters.
Deputy Sheriff Pahia, of Kaneohe,
who is running on the Republican ticket
for reelection, is reported as employing
threats in vicious effort to intimidate
the voters. 1t is said that he has been
telling them that unless they vote the
Republican ticket, he will make it hot
for them and see that they get into
trouble.
This is the way the Republicans are
trying to win. Are the voters going to
stand for it?

DIRTY POLITICS
BY REPUBLICANS

The Republicans are doing dirty poll
tics and yet they have the nerve to say
that it is unkind to bring out the fact
that Kuhio Kalanianaole, Republican
candidate for reelection as delegate to
Congress, has not had the decency to
pay his taxes, being behind in his fnan-
cial duties to the Territory that has
sent him to Washington, to the extent
of several thousand dollars.
Personalities have figured largely in
this campaign. IT was circulated that
Link McCandless had made the state
ment on the Island of Kauai that Krhio
was responsible for Queen Liliuokalani
forming trust of her property. Nc
Candless declares that it is an absolute
falsehood. He never made any such
statement. d. L. Kalawai. who toured
Kauai with McCandless also brands the
statement as falsehood.
McCandless believes. and has good
reason to believe. that the whole state
ment originated with Kuhio. as also
originated with Kuhio the statement
that McCandless had two years ago
promised TO give every Hawaiian in the
country one hundred and sixty acres of
land. The latter statement is also
falsehood.
The Republicans seem to have the
idea that by getting around with a
bunch of falsehoods they can get them
selves elected, but the time has come
when the intelligent voter is not going
to stand for any such deliberate lies and
the Republicans are going to be very
much disappointed on Tuesday next,
when some of their internal falsehoods
ruin their hopes at the polls.

ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR THE
ADVERTISER

Tomorrow the Advertiser will add
another failure to it's long and continu-
Gus list of lost causes
AS the chief Republican organ, the
Advertiser will tomorrow go down to
defeat with the Republican ticket. The
Advertiser is used to losing, and it will
probably not affect it's serenity, for it is
notorious that the Advertiser fights for
one thing one minute and for contra
ny thing the next minute, not being led
by reason but by prejudice.
Between slipshod newspaper methods,
careless conscience, foolish fancies,
freakish dislikes, and unfair reporting,
the Advertiser necessarily loses, and
when it tackles the present campaign
for justice and runs afoul of the peo-
pies desire to see just and whole
some government Of local affairs, it can
do nothing but slip to darksome and
dreary defeat with the Republican par
ty.
The Republican party has degenerat-
ed, in this Territory, along with the Adj
vertiser, like two apples in the same
barrel
The Advertiser, after election, will
come up smiling, however, not caring
for anything except the next opportu-
nifty to take the wrong side of the next
public question-and lose again!

PEOPLE HAVE NO RIGHTS

The people have no right to rule
themselves in Hawaii, according to an
opinion rendered last month by d. H.
Case, Republican county attorney of the
county of Maui. In letter to w. F.
Kaae, county clerk of Maui, Case gives
it as his opinion that the county has no
right to purchase with public funds
drugs for the purpose of having them
dispensed free of charge over the coun-
ty by the county physicians.
Peculiar, ism t it? The county has no
right to do as it pleases with it's own
funds 1t has no right to buy drugs
with which to cure the unfortunate
poor sick within it's own borders-that
is, it has no such right if the opinion of
Republican County Attorney Dan Case
is worth anything-which it is not in
this case.
It's about time the voters took steps
to get back into their own hands the
powers which the Special Interests have
taken from them and arrogated to
themselves. Vote the Democratic tick
ct and recover your rights

lows:

THE BIRD CLUB OF ENGLAND

MRS. HARBOROUGH-SH an
A'A authoress, using the pen name of
Irene Osgood," who comes of an old Vir-
ginia family, and lives in England, has
formed an association of young people inter-
ested in BIRDS under the title of the Uncle
Dick Society. The organization has nearly
five thousand members. The purpose of the
society is to furnish food and water for wild
birds, especially in the season when pro-
visions are scarce.
A feature of the work of the society in
December was the Christmas parties for the
birds, in which the children acted as hosts.
On Christmas Day, in all parts of Bucking-
hamshire and Northamptonshire, meat
bones and cocoanut shells were affixed to the
trees and shallow dishes containing water
and seeds were placed on the ground. Thou
sands of birds congregated and appeared to
appreciate this thcughtfulness.
A member of the society says, ave keep
the birds plentifully supplied with mutton
and beef suet with stick run through the
meat so the birds will not run off with the
whole lot; for they are greedy little beggars,
particularly the robins. Then we cut the
ends of cocoanuts, hang these on tree
branch. and stuff the shells with suet or beef
fat. The tomtits perform acrobatic Won
ders to get at the suet and to keep off one
another. Then we place fresh water out,
twice day in freezing weather, for birds of
all sorts, which eagerly come to drink from
the shallow earthenware pans. These must
not be more than an inch Deep as birds
drown easily when they are weak and cold.
1t must be remembered they suffer as much
from thirst as from hunger in winter. We
put out seeds sunfower, canary, and many
other sorts split marrowbones, and
once in awhile we give them big roasted
potato or an apple split open, together with
bread crumbs and other dainties They be-
come SO tame that one may almost caress
them. All the children take lively interest
in the proceeding, and much good has been
derived from these little bird parties"

THEY had gone up on the Rx M
roof after dinner as was
their wont, the apartment being
at the top. They laughed and chatted
for awhile, the whole congenial group, and
then, as the night grew chilly, went down
into the sitting room.
Conversation tagged little, as when chill
dren are in doubt as to what to play next.
''I'll give you an author" some one re-
marked. g 1t is original. Guess:

What you should do if she won't go hence

mentS:

He never backward nor forward went.

Another, "A sly one to speak of martyrs?"

"a tender babe?" Sucking
What the farmer most desired when his
first three children were boys, was-to Hav-

To show the straight and narrow way.
To philosophic paths incline,-
And who is this doth teach us, pray?
Behold. crooked swivel
1t was quite a little while before they
guessed Bent ham; but they did at
last.
And again:
A man of iron mind whose name
Both fitted and belied him?
This was found to be Steele, whose name
cast aspersions upon his character.
Then from over in the corner a voice piped
up:
Hard hearted he
But sure will be
A fitting key!
And Lockhart was duly guessed.
Another poet, acting upon suggestion,
submitted:
A tender hearted man was he
Of sentimental fame;
Yet most severe our word must be
Wheneer speak his name.
The sentimental" furnished the clue to
this, and Sterne was promptly announced.
Said the misantErope, "a badly prepared

Nobody could guess who this was, and as
the sphinx refused to divulge the secret it re-
