as 'the man who works and the man
who docs things 1t should be chang

was ever supposed TO have done.
Kuhio is cute customer and has the
faculty Of getting in at the end of
days work and declaring that it was
all his work
Goodness knows what Kuhio ever ac-
complshed for Hawaii in Washington
except to tell few stories over good
cigar in the lobby. But he would have
us believe. we presume. that it was he
who got Uncle Sam to work on Pearl
Harbor; that it was he who put a fort
back of Diamond Head; that it was he
who induced the United States Govern
ment to improve our harbors, and so on.
Nothing has been done for Hawaii's
Eeneft except what was going to be
done anyhow, as planned by the FEEDER

dit for are things that were to have
been done anyhow. without consulting
him. or things carried through by
others who kept silent and let Kuhio
take the credit AS an ornament Kuhio
may be all right, but he is of no more

take an unctious joy, it seems, in saying
Kuhio has done this. or Kuhio has done
that, whereas they know very well he
has done nothing more than get in at
the finish and dictate few letters to
be sent back home proclaiming that he
has accomplished something or other
which somebody else did for him. 1t is
as reasonable to say that Kuhio brought

tain for them fair wages. is reviled by
the paid press of the Hawaiian Sugar
Trust. which claims the sugar industry
will be ruined if decent wages have to
be paid
The old cry of the cotton planters of
the Southern States was that their in

and that cotton growing would have
to be abandoned if their fellow men
were freed. Slavery was abolished at
an enormous cost in blood and money
Today in those Southern States cotton
is still king, and prosperity abounds.
The willy sugar baron tells the work
ingman that sugar is the only source
from whence all employment comes, but
fails to explain how high wages were
paid here 30 years ago, when the total
sugar production of the Islands was
less than the output of Eva plantation

ferred to wharf laborers received good

DAILY HO0KW0RM
CANNOT ANSWER

The Daily Hookworm. for that is the
pet name now given to the Advertiser
since that delectable sheet is advocat-
ing the Importation of diseased immi-
grants, still refuses to answer the allie
cations of unreliability so frequently
and successfully made against it.
The amusing part of the whole situa-
ton in this campaign is that the Repub-
lican party and it's chief organ, the Adj
vertiser, do not get along any better in
this campaign than they have in pre-
vious campaigns.
Is it any wonder that the studied lies
of the Republican party, perpetrated
with the design of injuring Democratic
candidates, are laughed at by the gen.
eral run of intelligent voters of this
Territory?
When the Republican machine and
it's organ, the Advertiser, cannot agree,
it is not to be wondered at that the ma
jority of citizens, who are Democrats
at heart and will this year vote the
Democratic ticket. refuse to listen to
the allegations of so irresponsible and
vacillating a rag as the Daily Hook
worm.

PROSTITUTION
OF THE PRESS

The daily papers Of Monday re-
ported dastardly crime in which a
moving picture usher is alleged to be
the chief guilty one. He is accused of a
wrong to IA young girl which merits him
life Imprisonment at least, if he is gull
ty.
We do not wish to go into the details.
but we do want to say with all empha-
sis that lies within our power that the
Advertiser, which PIRATES of civic virtue
and its influence for public good, and
would, if you please, have the voters of
this city take it's doubtful advice, is in
a way responsible for this nature of
crime, and this for the reason that the
Advertisers policy is one of suppress
sion. The Bulletin is tarred with the
same stick.
Too frequently are similar crimes
committed and the press keeps out
the names of the perpetrators. for the
sake of the identity of the perpetrator
or because it might hurt his good fam
lily name.
1t is just such criminal suppression of
facts that leads fiends to commit acts of
horrible and immoral violence, encour-
aging them in the belief that they are
immune from prosecution.
There has been altogether too much
Of this kind of beastly wrong in this
city in the last five or six months.
The Advertiser now and then reports
the main facts of some case in which the
defendant is of no considerable stand
ing in the community and then blames
the police, or blames anybody or any
thing except itself.
Incidentally, and not so incidentally,
either, it is Republican officer, the city
attorney, John Cathcart, who is sworn
to prosecute this kind of cases and all
cases against public decency, and yet
we have fresh in memory a revolving
crime wherefor the defendant. if guilty.
should have received the full limit of
the law He got few months impris-
onment for vagrancy.
If newspaper will suppress one
thing that should be published it will
with the same easy conscience suppress
another. Can we trust newspaper in
politics which cannot be trusted in the
defense of womanhood and girlhood?
PUBLICITY is the GREATEST
CURE for wrongdoing. 1t instils the
fear of punishment.
The Advertisers policy of suppress
sion encourages the policy of suppress
sion on the part of the Republican city
attorney. and the defendant gets off
with a nominal punishment.
Think of that
A Republican newspaper. the Adver-
tiser, suppresscs the facts of crime; a
Republican city attorney prosecutes for
some crime lesser than the actual guilt,
and Republican judge, perforce. fines
or imprisons accordingly. and all be-
cause the Advertiser does not. in some
cases take up the public end of it and

st. Paul. May 2o.-The stats su-
preme court, in the opinion by JUS
tice O'Brien today. declared valid the
state law forbidddng discrimination in
charges for commodities sold through
out the state.
The decision came on an appeal by
the state from a decision of the Ram
sey county court in sustaining the
demurrer of the Standard Oil COM
any to the complaint Of tho state Of
Minnesota in which It was charged
that the Standard Oil company
charged discriminatory prices for its
product in places where It had no COM
petition. The state began an action
to forfeit the charter of the company
to do business in Minnesota, basing
its action on the alleged acts Of dis
elimination. Judge Bum in the Ram
sey county district court held the Law
prohibiting the discrimination uncon-
stitutional. The supreme court today
reversed this finding and upheld the
law. The case will now be tried on
the facts.

Nipigon this afternoon on receipt of
news brought in by the Indian who
found the canoe.
Those believed to have drowned are
Roy McGillivray, George Grant, fire
rangers in the employ of the Ontario
government, and four woodmen of
whom the only name so far obtainable
is that Of Johnson.
Two firemen who were working on
the shores of the Nipigon lake are
said to have consented to use their
canoe to transport four woodmen
across the lake from Point Alexander,
a distance of twelve miles.
The finding Of the canoe is the only
evidence Of what may have happened
on the trip. McGillivray is said to
have been subject to epileptic fits and
may have been overcome by one thus
cahsing the canoe to overturn. He is
10 years of age and his home is in
Port Arthur where he has two married
sisters. Geo. Grant lived two years in
Port Arthur, coming here from Sault
Ste. Marie, where his family lives. He
was 81 years of age and for two years
was member of the Port Arthur
hockey team. H. Servais, who has q
brother fire ranger in that neighbor-
hood, but is not reported as being in
the accident, left for Nipigon.

ENGLISH YOUTH GUILTY OF NO: CRIME
IS THE VICTIM OF RUSSIAN POLICE PLOT

Moscow, May 20.-Young Watson

twerty-seven other persons on the
charge of being a social revolutionary,
was condemned to sixteen months tLl-

Watson is q good-looking, athletic
young man Of 20. with typical Eng
lish face. His father. who is now
dead, settled in Russia some years
ago, and married Russian woman.
His grandparents still live in Glas-
gov.
The case is of remarkable interest.
Apart from the fact of British sub
tect being tried on political charge
behind closed doors. 1t reveals in its
true colors the methods by which the
thinking young men of Russia are
being bounded to Siberian exile by
the conspiracies Of corrupt police.
The beginning of the affair dates
back to December, 1908, when an un-
educated Russian named Yermano6
discovered that q man who lodged in
his house was making love to his wife.
He avenged himself by denouncing
the man to the police revolutionist
who, with others, held constant meet
ings in his house.
Torture Brought Confession.
When the police came to arrest the
man, he, in turn, denounced his ac-
cuser for the same offense, at the
same time protesting his own inno-
cence. This gave the police a splen-
did chance to work up one of their
conspiracies.
On the confession Of these two men
twenty seven rtl:er persons. who were
said to have met at their house, were
arrested. among them Watson. How
the confession was obtained is not
known, but there is a general belief
that 1t was by torture. At any rate,
whereas Yeranoff was a fine stalwart
fellow when he was arrested. he now
appears to be In the last stages of
consumption. He had to be helped
into court by several gendarmes, and
he was barely able to make himself
heard.

On the night of her death wagons
were waiting In the street near the
house and within an hour from the
moment she drew her last breath. the
wagons drove of filled with valuable
art treasures which had hastily been
brought down from her apartments.
Mrs. Wilkinson used to sleep in the
Empress Josephine bed, which came
from Maimaison, and even this was
carried of. Her lawyer, Maitre Fred
eric Allain, hastened to afiix official
seals to her apartments. but those who
carried of the treasures got ahead

Mrs. Wilkinson left all her prop-
erty to Count de Montsaulnin, the
man to whom she was betrothed in
early youth. He did not live long to

lived in retirement, and seemed to be
haunted by fear Of impending evil.
Another tragedy in his family add
ed to his desire for isolation. This
was the sudden death Of his wife's
brother, Louis Zborowski, which al
most coincided with that Of Mrs. Will
kinson. II was said at the time that
Louis Zborowski committed suicide.
He was found dead under a wrecked
automobile. Count Montsanlnin died
in great agony. The contents of his
will are as yet unknown.
At his funeral the most conspicuous
mourner was J. Pierpont Morgan. The
count and Mr.. Morgan met frequent

romance and tragedy has never been

Paris. May 20-The death Of Count
Montsaulnin, head Of one of the most
ancient houses Of France, former presi-
dent Of the Jockey club and for the
last forty years one of the leaders
Of aristocratic French society, revives
certain terrible tales which were cur
rent two years ago when Mrs. Hewitt
Wilkinson, q wealthy southern woman
80 mysterously died.
Mrs. Hewitt Wilkinson was said to
have been poisoned for the purpose Of
getting at her great fortune Of $780,

Of art. She was the daughter Of Col.
Hewith Of the Confederate army and
was the niece Of Mrs. Walker Fern,
whose husband was United States
minister to Greece and Roumania.
Mrs. Wilkinson's. mother was the
charming wife of Col. Hewith, who
died fighting for the lost cause. and
che married Count Zborowski.
Among Mrs. Hewitt Wllhnson's
closest friends were Mr.. and Mrs.
Carton French. who invariably visit
Cd her in Paris and used to send her
presents Of Virginia ham, of which
she was extremely fond Her hus-
band, Mr. Wilkinson, belonged to a
wealthy English family long settled in
France. When he died he left her q

In this way seventeen persons had

necessary to have ten more. To this
end the plan was adopted of arresting
fifteen persons in q holiday crowd on
the Sparrow Hills on the ridiculous
charge that they had assembled to
hold a meeting of the revolutionary
committee.
Subsequently. however, three Of
these were released. Eight workmen
were also liberated on bail after four

Able Defense of No Avail.
Watson was ably defended. The
methods of the secret police were de-
nounced, and counsel accused them
Of having placed the proclamations in
Watson's house in order to trump up
the case. Ridicule. too, was heaped
upon the clumsy way in which they
