OUR B0UNDEN DUTY.

The change that has come over
public opinion within the last de-
cade relative to the subject of Ia
Dor is TRULY phenomenal.
The hosts of American labor
are coming to be appreciated as
a thinking, forceful portion Of
our citizenship, and the men Of
labor, themselves, are becoming
more and more to realize that
they are citizens of a republic,
with equal rights and privileges
with every other citizen, and that
their salvation and the destiny of
their country is in their keeping
| in equal share.
They are awakening to a sense
of the industrial and political
wrongs they have 50 long suf-
fered, they see the possibilities of
intelligent concerted action, and
step by step are marching toward
the goal of justice.
When men were compelled to
labor a dozen hours a day for the
mere means of existence, it was
not to be expected that any but
a courageous few would find
either the time or the inclination
for the study necessary to an in
telligent interest in the sterner af-
fairs of life.
The weary toiler had scant am
bition for such things-the need
for physical recuperation was too
pressing. But the twelve-hour
work-dav belongs to history. A
very large per cent Of crafts now
enjoy the eight-hour day, while
scarcely any work more than nine.
Thanks to those courageous
ones who have wrought. this
change, we therefore have some
little time we can now devote to
enlightenment upon the problems
that face us.
We rest under a moral obliga-
ton to ourselves and to our DOS
terity to use the opportunity thus
afforded us to the fullest. Much
as we may justly felicitate our
selves upon the progress thus far
attained, we must not accept the
present condition as the ultimate.
Those who through bitter strug-
gle and in spite of seemingly in
surmountable obstacles have
brought us to our present position
have not done all there is to do
they have but pointed out to us
the path by which further success
may be achieved.
And the measure Of good that
we may do in the name Of labor of
the present and the future will
be determined by the amount of
! intelligent knowledge we contri-
| butte toward the solution of the
problems by which we are con-
stantly confronted.

GENIUS AND CAPACITY.

It has been said that some of
the best governed countries have
the worst constitutions, while
some Of the worst governed have
constitutions which are theoreti-
cally all but perfect. The ruling
factor, after all, is the genius of
the people and their capacity for
self government.

Answer: The purpose of the
organization to which you refer
is expressed in the following de-
claration of principles:
Ito purge politics of special
privilege and selfish interest, and
to substitute therefor the gen.
eral welfare of the whole people.
1t aims to make the government
directly responsible to the pop
ular will; to enable the people to
select their public servants, and
to hold officials directly account
able to the composite citizen. By
this means the personal obliga-
ton, always existing where the
public servant is nominated or
selected by a convention, caucus
or political boss, will be des-
troyed."
popular government will be
achieved through the election of
United States senators by direct
vote Of the people; direct prim-
aries for the nomination of all
elective officials; the direct elec-
ton Of delegates to national con-
ventions, with opportunity for the
voter to express his choice for
president and vice president;
amendments to state constitutions
providing for the initiative and
referendum and recall and a
thorough-going corrupt parctice
act.''

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
okomoto, Japanese who has only
been in the country for few weeks,
and who was found wandering around
the Salvation Army Barracks, with
Bible in his hand, and who was com.
mitted to the Japanese Hospital, under
the care of guard, has been shipped
back to Japan.
1t appears that the man reached Ho-
nolulu on one of the Marus some weeks
ago. He, with some friends, visited
the Japanese Club at Waikiki, and
when the others departed to catch the
steamer Okomoto was missing. Moth
ing was seen of him for three weeks,
and then he was found, as stated, by
the Army people. The man appeared
to be crazy and he was taken care of.
Messrs. Castle & Cooke paid all the
expenses of the man, who was kept in
the hospital. Yesterday 0komoto was
placed on board the Siberia and an.
other Japanese passenger promised to
take care of the man till Japan was

YOUNG MILLIONAIRE
WILL FLY BIPLANE
(From Wednesdays Advertiser

(From Wednesdays Advertiser)
An American millionaire and dar-
ing French birdman may leave San
Francisco today on the Wilhelmina, or
on the Lurline at the end of the week
for Honolulu to give series of flights
at Leilehua. Clarence Walker is the
young American millionaire who took
up aviation in California and has made
success in a biplane. Mason, the
Frenchman, recently received two
Bleriot monoplanes from France, and
made his first flights at Oakland last
week. The two men expected to en-
gage in air races pitting their respec-
tive types of machines against each
other.
One of Mason S machines is the
largest make now in use and the other
is a baby monoplane, the smallest in
service, Mason has recently been in
the City of Mexico where he partici-
pated in exhibition flights
Walker has been practising with his
Curtiss biplane at his home for the past
six months and has reached a degree
of perfection in handling his machine
which insures successful flights.
f. J. Love is arranging the details
for the meet and he expects to receive
cablegram today from the aviators
stating that they are to leave either
on the Wilhelmina OF the Lurline. II
is planned TO hold the first exhibition
on May 90. There is hope expressed
that the war department viii designate
one or two army officers from the local
list 10 make flights for "scouting"
purposes.

Governor Frear is not at all worried
over the attack which Delegate Kuhio
Kalanianaole is reported to have made
upon him on the eve of his departure
for Washington to represent the Ter
ritory during the extra session of con-
gress.
Whats the matter with him7"
asked the Governor, when informed
that such an attack had been made.
"Well, it is reported that there has
been coolness between you and the
Delegate and that it is of long stand
ing" the Governor was told.
He smiled and said: 'There is no
GOODNESS that I know of; if there is it
is all on one side.'
"YOu are not worrying about it,
then7" was asked.
Certainly not" replied the Cover
nor. "I am sorry that the Delegate

that they cannot go swimming which is

sending people away, but the fact that

cluded by urging that vigilance be not
relaxed.
Will Continue Restrictions.
Attorney-General Lindsay wound up
the discussion by saying: "We are in
formed by the doctors that such restric.
tions as are now in existence are wise.
Mr.. Lightfoot has cited how a grievous
burden may be placed upon some of
those interested in the bathing. 1 GER
tainly think there is a great deal in
that. At the same time the laymen on
the bnard, in such matters, can only
be guided by expert advice. 1t would
be presumption for us to vote that these
restrictions, which they think wise
should be taken off. l therefore move
that the restrictions be not rescinded. :"
The motion was carried unanimously.

DR. William C. Hobby moved that the
reports be printed and this was imme,
diately carried.
"Now the question before the meet

lis as to fishing in the restricted area
and as 10 bathing and washing clothes;
in fact the entire restrictions as have
read them to you and also the restric-
tion in regard to taro."
Doctor currie's Statement.
Dr. Donald Currie was then requested
to give his views as to the desirability,
or otherwise, of lifting the restrictions.
Dealing with the supposition of some
people that all danger from infection
is now over, he said:
"Of course, that is a matter that it
is entirely impossible for anybody to
ascertain. The only thing we know
positively is that fourteen days ago
cholera existed. 1t might have died
out the following day and it might not
do so for ninety days or more.
AS to the removal of the restric.
tions, our services usually employs

| FIVE or fifteen days. We have simply
been bound by certain experiences that
this was n sufficient period. The whole
question is a matter of risk. While the
restrictions are on you are decreasing
the chances of another outbreak. I,
personally, should think that thirty
days is a short enough period.

''The infection might die out prompt

of water" he stated. "F1oods do not
get rid of cholera He gave facts
to show that any infection in the
waters of the Manoa irrigation system
would not be washed out by floods and
added; alt is a very unsatisfactory
and very difficult problem at the best
of times. "
The Matter of Taro.
"In your opinion the restrictions
should not be raised for thirty daysl" :"
inquired Attorney-General Lindsay.
Doctor Currie intimated that that

that, in the case of Manoa taro it be
steamed under some sort of inspection.
He said the men who handle the un-
cooked taro should not go among those
who handled the cooked.
The taro matter was gone into clear
ly by DR.. j. S. B. Pratt, general health
and sanitary officer. lie said the idea
was 10 have the men up in ManOa do
the pulling and all the handling.
"When they have gotten through the
pulling part they win be given dis.

away and disinfeeted They will be
given a clean suit which has not been

Case for Bathing.

On behalf of hotel and other interests
at Waikiki, Attorney j. D. Lightfoot
made plea for bathing at Waikiki and
in the harhor. "Prevent the taking of
shellfsh but let us swim,'' was the bur-
den of his remarks. He said: ''I think
there is a strong public opinion that the
prohibition of bathing in salt water is
unnecessary and extremely burden
some" He asserted that it was utterly
impossible to eliminate every possible
source of contagion and said a large
number of people were well enough sat
isfed to take the risk of bathing. cit
is real hardship that sea bathing
should be prevented here, {" he declared.
He said it was causing much financial
loss.
How much risk is the board to as
sumo That must be taken into CON
sideration," INTERCEPTED President
Mott.Smith. "The point perhaps is
that, as there is risk there, is it worth

cholera would cause more loss than all

From South.

JUAREZ, Mexico, May 1O.-Follow-
ing up their successes of Monday, the
lnsurrectos made another determined
attack upon this city yesterday morn
ing, the battle continuing in the streets
throughout the day and until midnight
last night, with every prospect of con
tinuing all night. The rebels have
fired the city in many places and at
midnight the flames were approaching
the cathedral, where the federal forces
had taken up their stand behind barri-
cades.
The postoffice and number of other
prominent public buildings have been
sacked and fred by the rebels, who are
applying the torch freely as they ad-
vance. Last night they had captured
the last of the federal trenches and
were pouring a heavy rifle fire into the
federal barricades.
The federals are replying briskly
with artillery, having dragged their
tieldpieces and rapid fires to the new
position taken up.
A formal demand has been made
upon General Navarro for the surren-
der of the city, to which he has re-
turned a defiant answer.
