TAFT Policies FOR HAWAII.


Republicans of Hawaii will need to
do some careful thinking during the
coming year in preparation for the
National nominating convention that
will name the leader for the Prcsi-
dental campaign.
Unless all signs fail the contest
will be such that the votes from lia-
wall will count, and for the first time
in history our delegates will have
something to do besides get in and
holler."
According to all indications the is
sue will be between the radical in
surgcnts of which La Toilette is the
accepted leader and President Taft
the conservative who takes up with
insurgcnt ideas that are found prac-
teal.
No doubt remains that La Toilette
will go into the convention with a
following that will be dangerous be-
cause of the enthusiasm that the Wis
consin leader Is always sure to arouse
among the people at large, lie is the
sort of man who will stampede con-
vention. According to all appearances
he has won over Roosevelt and prob
ably Il good share of his following to
at least an attitude of friendship II
not of active support.
Though there is great deal that
Is attractive to Hawaii and all Amer
leans in the cause of La Toilette. the
position of Hawaii's Republicans must
be determined by the national policies
of tariff protection and national de-
Tense. Our people are in duty bound
to make their fight for the men and
the policies that will best guarantee
the prosperity of the people and the
honor of the nation in our section of
the globe.
Thus far the Insurgent Republicans,
much as we like their ideals of pop
ular government and plans for con-
troll of the great combinations of cap
ital, are fathering a tariff revision
policy that would be most damaging
to Hawaii and ms far as we can sec
would not seriously injure the sugar
trust or help the consumer. Further.
more the Insurgent wing of the party
has no enthusiasm for bringing the
army and navy up to the standard
which we in this part of the world
know to be necessary, and II Il
apparently as well satisfied to allow
our commerce to be carried in foreign
ships AS any other.
On all these propositions so vita
to Hawaii and to the general strength,
ening of American interests in the
Pacific, the President stands right
We had almost said pat but tina,
would probably be misunderstood
Mr.. Taft Is in every sense progress
sive on all matters intimately con
nected with Americanism as foun,
and understood at the Cross Road,
of the Pacific.
Consequently so far as the frs
thoughts of Republicans here are con
cerned, they are naturally with Taft
not so much on account of his bein,
In Office and therefore controlling al
the power of patronage, but becaus
the Republicanism of Taft is and ha
been constructive for Hawaii. Changes
that may take place befOre the fina

occasion for clarifying the atmos
phere. And since Hawaii is to hav
influence in the nominating conven
ton, its party leaders should max
themselves heard while the policie
are being framed and the candidate
are making the record on which the

EX-SENATOR IS EIGHTY.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 9.-Former Sen.
ator William A. PETER, who repre-.
sented Kansas in the United States
senate from 1891 to 1897, and who
was one of its most picturesque mem
bers, Sunday celebrates his SOth birth
day anniversary. For nearly decade
after leaving the senate Mr.. PETER
continued to reside in Washington,
but last spring he returned to To-
peka to spend the remaining days of
his life.
1t Is with sense of the utmost sat
isfaction that the former senator re-
verts to the part he played in public
affairs. In the current trend of the
peoples will he sees v1ndication of
his theories and, in part at least,
fulfillment Of what as a senator he
demanded. In recent interview he
said: "The country now hotly de-
mands legislation it abused me for
advocating. anticipated the evils
against which it now cries out"

ANGRY MOB RELEASES
CHOLERA PATIENTS
RESIDENTS OF ITALIAN VILLAGE
STORM HOSPITAL AND CON-
NIT VIOLENT DEEDS.

Chiasso, Switzerland, Sept. 9.-.Gioa
Del Cole, a city with a population of
10000, in the Italian province of Bari
de la Pugli, has been the scene of
savage excesses in consequence of
the cholera epidemic now raging in
Italy. The authorities ordered that
all persons attacked by cholera should
be taken to a hospital and that those
who had been in contact with cholera
victims be isolated in a neighboring
building.
The population, convinced that it
was the intention of the authorities
to kill the patients and also those un-
der observation, gathered to the num-
ber of several thousand to lfberate
their relatives and friends. The hos
pital was stormed and the building
threatened with incendiary destruc-
tion should the mob be interfered with
in releasing cholera sufferers. The
police attempted to awe the crowds
but were inadequate and, in order to
avoid bloodshed, the doors of the hos
pital were thrown open.
The crowds brought out the cholera
patients and carried them in a CHASTITY
procession through the town. The
people acclaimed the cholera victims
and shouted imprecautions against the
government. The cholera suspects
under observation were also set free.
The Italian government has de-
spatched troops thither.

POTS And KETTLES RATIFIED
RESIDENTS OF OLD VILLAGE ARE
GIVEN BAD SCARE BY THE
RUMBLlNG NOISES.
QUAKE WAS ENTIRELY LOCAL
DID NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE
JEMEz RANGE AND DID BUT
LITTLE DAMAGE.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Sept 9.-Three
sharp earthquake shocks, accompan-
led by a deep, growing, rumbling
noise today shook the Jemez range
OF extinct volcanoes, forty miles west
of Santa Fe, from which came the
vast lava beds in recent geologic
times that cover the famous Cliff
Dwelling plateau.
The shocks were reported today by
Forest Ranger and Weather Bureau
Observer Linneus Shields at Jenez
to the weather bureau in this city.
Houses swayed to and fro, bottles and
dishes on shelves ratified and persons
on the outside grew dizzy. The long
est shock lasted six seconds, the mo-
ton of the earth was from south to
north. AS the quake was evidently
local, it is believed It was caused by
the readjustment of immense subter-
ranean rock strata. AS far as re-
ported no material damage was done
Jemez is forty miles from the nearest
railroad or telegraph station.

APPREclATlVE OF HIS EFFORTS
TO SECURE STATEHOOD
FOR NEW MEXICO

That the republicans of Precinct
on the West side are appreciative
of the efforts of President Taft in
the interest of statehood for New Mex
leo is shown by the fact that, at a
meeting held last night. they appoint
ed committee to draft resolutions
thanking the president for his able
assistance. The same committee
was also empowered to thank the re-
publican state central committee for
choosing Las Vegas as the meeting
place Of the first state convention of
the party, and to express its hearty
endorsement of the action of the coun-
ty central committee in proposing the
name of Sheriff Secundino Romero for
the first governor of New Mexico.
The members of the committee are
Bonifacio Mares, 'Florentino Montoya,
Patricio Ortega, Juan Macs y Ortiz,
Antonio Montoya, Demetrio Rivera,

cLoslNe Of cAMPAIeN.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 9.-One of the
most bitterly fought and most stren-
uous campaigns ever known to New
England ended in this state today
and on Monday the voters of Maine
will decide by their ballots whether
the policy of constitutional prohipi-
ton of the liquor traffic, which has
prevailed for more than quarter of
century, shall be retained or not.
Both sides in the fight have been ex-
tremely active and for many weeks
the state has been flooded with CAM
paign literature. Meetings for and
against the proposition to eliminate
prohibition as a constitutional fea-
ture were held by the score in al.
parts of the state. The press was di-
vided upon the question and each side
devoted columns to arguments and
attacks. Speakers lof both parties
presented their respective sides to
thousands of attentive listeners and
even women and children were drawn
into the agitation by the prohibition
element.
Constitutional prohibition, in which
Maine was the pioneer, was frs.
adopted in 1884. In 1901 bill for
the resubmission of the subject was
before the legislature, but was lie
feated. In 1907 a similar propositior
was again defeated, but only by a
narrow margin. But at the last elec-
ton a democratic governor and g
democratic legislature were elected |
and resubmission was voted. The is |
sue will be decided next Monday. but.
although both sides claim victory, the
'esult of the election is extremely
doubtful.

who was kidnapped after going TO bed
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Lemberger, last Tuesday
night, was found today in Lake Mo-
mona, a mile from her home.
There was no evidence of violence
beyond slight laceration of one ear
and discoloration on the neck, the
latter mark indicating that the child
may have been strangled. The body
was found by George Younger, a ce
ment worker. The only motive fol
the crime seems to be revenge on he
parents by some unknown enemy.

San Francisco, Calf, Sept. 9.-Men
high in the councils of the shop en-
ployes on the Hartman system are
striving today to prevent the $4,000
individuals whom they represent from
going on a strike. Other men, also
high in the same councils, are urging
drastic measures following the rail-
road officials refusal to recognize the
federation of shopmen.
The momentous question is being
fought out at a meeting here of the
advisory board of the federation. No
definite action probably will be taken
today. j. w. Kline, international
president of the Blacksmiths' union,
said:
THE younger men are eager to call
a strike at once, but calm considera-
ton is being counseled by the Older
men. For young man living al
home and receiving 81 week strike
benefit, a strike has no particular
terrors, but it is different ques-
tion for man with family to sup
port.
"The various unions involved have
voted to strife ~sFlpss recognition o.
the federation is accorded by the rail-
road officials, but on the face of re-
fusal of this recognition, the advis-
ory board has hopes for a peaceful
adjustment of the dispute"
