Opium Sent Here Passes
The Guards At Frisco

That the amount Of opium that is
finding its way into Hawaii by Illegal
channels, is worrying the customs Of
ficials, lis well-known, and every eff
fort is being put forward to prevent
its Importation. The trouble is that
Honolulu and other island ports are
being made the dumping grounds. The
blame would seem to lie with San
Francisco to a large extent, FOR there
is plenty of prima facie evidence that
the opium is passed into boats that
only trade between Hawaii and San
Francisco, and never touch at Orien-
tai or other ports where the drug coul1
be easily obtained.
Suspicion has fallen on a number of
boats, among which are the Matson
and American-Hawaiian steamers. Now
il is logically argued that these boats
must have the drug transferred to
them at one of the coast ports, and
as San Francisco in the only port on
the coast at which the Lurline and
Wilhelmina call, suspicion has natur.
ally fallen on that port. There is some
thing else besides this reason for max
ing San Francisco look like the trans
ference port.
Cheap in San Francisco.
For instance, that is the terminal
port of the Oriental liners, but the
strongest point of all seems to be
contained in the fact that unstamped
opium can be bought in San Francisco
at from $40 to $22, but it cannot be
purchased here for under S3S, while il
frequently ranges up to $45 per tin.
This is a profit that would tempt
many to take the risk of getting il
in here. In ordinary circumstances

INHBR-ISbAND HAPPENINGS

LIHUE, June 6.-Oriental Lihue was
thrown into a state of panic Wednes-
day evening about 6 o'clock when a
tragedy as the result of a long-stand-
ing feud between two Japanese took
place in the Lihue camp in the pres
ence of scores of witnesses, the actors
being Kumataro Inoshita and Mitsu-
yasu, the former being so badly wound
ed that death followed before the hos
pital was reached.
The motive behind the murder was,
according to a statement by the pris-
oner, one which dates back to period
of several years, during which time
both men have served a term each in
the penitentiary, having been convict
ed of forgery.
Kumataro was, prior to his conyic-
ton, hotelkeeper in Honolulu, and
it was while Mitsuyasu was attending
school that he formed the acquaint-

poor and the author of measures that
arouse such hope in this country
as none of us now living have known
before. John Burns is the greatest
president of the local government
board in history His department is
practical to the last degree and he
is working himself snow white in
the interests of the public.
To-day comes Herbert L. Samuel,
the postmaster general, with the
greatest series of postofice reforms
yet conceived. These include cheap
telephones for our farmers, who have
hitherto been isolated and not
quickened for the movements Of
modern life; big reductions in tele-
phone, cable and parcel post rates;
home safes for savings bank depos-
itors; improved conditions of labor
for telegraph and telephone work
ers; arrangements to absorb the boy
messengers into the permanent work
of the postoffice; post cards at face
value, free stamping of privately
made cards, and a score of other i'm
poTtant reforms.
"Such work as the liberals are
doing we'll give old England a new
birth and a fresh hold on its great
position in the world. Our sister
states over seas are helping us ire
mendously. Colonial and American
energy and ideas are putting a new
throb of life into London, but we
liberals understand that if we are
ultimately to be saved we must
democratize our institutions and in
fuse the hearts of our people witt
the spirit and ambition of this swiftly
progressing age"

1--WE are going to make new
England" said an energetic member
of the government to the correspond
ent of The Daily News this morning
For years all over the country keen
eyed observers have noted evidence
of retrogression. They have found
the people lacking in the initiative
and in independence. They have
found the we'll to do lethargic, ignor-
ant of the tendencies of the times

alities, at least with the immorali-
ties of material indulgence and intel
lectual laziness. Foreigners, when
they have been frank, have told us
that we are going the sad way Of
Greece and Rome.
Laid to the Tory Party.
1--WE liberals hold that the respon-
sibility for these conditions rests
mainly on the tory party. The tory
party has lost its vision and it's en-
ergy. The last vestige of greatness
went out of it with Lord Salisbury,
the last of the big conservatives.
Arthur Balfour is brilliant, but with
out conviction or courage, and is en-
tirely noncreative. Lord Lansdowne
wrote a fine chapter of history as
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
but~he is not comprehensive or
magnetic character and is not a
great leader. His chiefship of the
tories in the house of lords has been
a complete failure. He knew better
than to throw out the first Lloyd
George budget, but he had not the
strength to stand against the peers
with atrophied intellects. Hence, we
see the peers tobogganing to their
doom. For a long, dreary genera
ton the tories have stood still, which
is another way of saying that, as
they have gone back, the nation has
gone back with them.
''Now the liberals are stirring
themselves to avert disaster. Rev
olution is in the air. The policies
proposed search down into the mosr
vital features of our social and DO
litical organism. Witness the splen

90 course, there should be no necessity
t. search domestic vessels, for there
should be but little possibility of those
engaged in the Illicit trade getting the
drug aboard.
Honolulu is severely handicapped
in the search for opium. The Orien-
tai boats do not remain here very long,
and then the searchers are never able
to get at an empty ship. Take the
Persia yesterday. She brought a few
hundred tons of cargo for here, but
the customs men in their search for
opium had to look in the holds as well
as other places, where over eight thou
sand tons Of cargo were stored. When
a haul is made at Honolulu, credit
should be given to the men making it,
for it is indeed feat to locate the
drug when the odds are so great
against the searchers.
San Francisco at Fault.
On the China one day the customs
men kept the search up so strongly
and followed the owners of the opium
so closely that they came upon a lot
Of it in swill bucket. 1t seems that
the Chinese were keeping ahead of
the customs men and when they were
hot on the scent, they would remove
the opium to a place that had already
been searched.
The whole fault, however, would
seem to lie with San Francisco, for if
the diligence were displayed there
that is displayed here it would be inn
possible for the drug to be sent down
into these islands in the quantities
that are now arriving,
A thorough search of all arriving
boats will be continued.

lows:
The regiment of the Fifth Horse
was divided in half, for the sake of
practice firing on the target range.
The first division was composed of a
squadron and a half, that is, of six
troops of the cavalry.
The Third squadron of four troops
with Troop A and Troop B of the First
squadron, were assigned to practice at
the targets on the range for the first
six weeks of the firing season. Major

Notice

The School laws of tennessee require
that all warrants given for anything
except teachers salaries shall be coun-
tersigned by the county superintendent,
and requires that he shall keep a
record of all such warrants. 1t also
places penalty on the trustee for pay
ing such warrants before they are
countersigned. Therefore, do not pre-
sent such warrants to the trustee until
they have been first presented to the
superintendent. This is matter of
law, and the law was made for the pro-
lection of the school fund, and while it
adds more to the work of the county
to do this, yet the law
is specific in the matter.
