Makes Principal Address at North
End Taft Club Smoker.


Lieut.-Gov. John Q. Ross was intro
duced as Michigan's next governor
at the smoker and luncheon OF the
North End Taft club. In Oddfellow's
temple, Bethune-ave. and Brush-st.,
Thursday night. Mr.. Ross thanked
Toastmaster Clyde Webster for the
kindly interest shown in him, but
modestly declared that the future
would take care of itself. In his ad-
dress, the principal talk of the eve
ming, the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS declared
that Michigan never had a man In
the executive chair SO well fitted for
the position as is Chase 8. Osborn.
I'VE do not believe in everything
he advocates" he said. But be-
lieve he is sincere ana honest in
whatever he does"
Mr.. Ross lauded President Taft and
spoke of the state senate as a body
Of men OF which the state should be
proud.
The occasion practically marked the
Opening of the Republican spring
campaign. Four candidates for the
nominations for circuit judges were
present, including Judge Rohnert, ex-
Mayor George p. Codd, Hugh Shep-
herd and Justice Louis OFT, and all
made brief remarks. All the Repub-
lican aspirants for the nomination as
police justice were on hand They
are Arthur w. Fitzpatrick, Albert F.
Sellers, Louis Wolf and Charles q
Scheibner. County Auditor Charles A.
Burner was on hand, as was, John c.
Bell, one of his opponents. About $50
club members and guests were pres
ent. and the affair was pronounced q
complete success.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 20.-Atty.-
Gen. Kuhn holds that boards of SUI
pervisors cannot provide salary for
sheriffs, despite the care with which
the constitutional convention provided
for placing all county officers on q sal
airy basis. AS majority OF the coun-
ties in the lower peninsula have pre-
scrlbed salaries for all county off,

starting a hurried investigation to de-
termine what action they can take to

SYSTEM OF ELECTTNG U. s.

Senator Borah Points To opportun.

and Urges direct Vote.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-Citing the
opportunities for corruption and the
tying up of legislatures-such as now
exist In several states-as the result
OF the present system Of electing
members OF the United States senate,
Senator Borah, (Rep., Idaho), yester-
day made a strong plea for the pas
sage of resolution submitting to the
states q constitutional amendment
providing for direct elections.
The system is vicious and out OF
date, prepared for different age and
under different conditions than that
in which we live," he said. The
times demand different system, a
different mechanism for selecting the
members OF this great body.
In the past twenty years there
have been a great many prolonged
contests in state legislatures which
illustrate one of the great evils OF
the present system. The entire ses-
sions OF some legislatures has been
occupied In the election Of senators
to the exclusion Of everything else
for which they were called together.
In some instances special sessions
were called at great expense. In
fourteen. instances states have gone
without full representation here be-
cause of deadlocks In the legislature
I'm other Instances bribery and
corruption have been charged and
corruption and scandal have attached
to the sessions.
THE legislature Is the arena, mar
row and confined, wherein selfish and
corrupt influences can successfully
operate. Why not send the fight to
the open forum where II will be set.
tied upon merit, where candidates
may appeal to the honor and patriot
ism OF the masses. Why compel men
to pass through the season OF humilia-
ton and shame through which the
sitting member of Illinois Is passing
IL he is guiltless? Why make II pos
sible for him to come here II guilty?'

and this has train too appalling TO

All this 10 explained in doctor
books; how undigested food causes
geses by fermentation and fomenta-
ton In which process some essential
fluids are destroyed-burnt up-wast-
ed by chemical action, followed by
detective nutrition and the distribu-
ton through the alimentary tract of
chemically wrong elements and as a
consequence the stomach and entire
system Is starved. Plenty Of food,
you see, but spoilt In preparation and
worse than worthless.
A deranged stomach is the epitome
OF evil; nothing too bad TO emanate
from II, but the gas II generates Is
probably Its worst primary effect and
the only way to do away with this
IL to remove the cause. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets go TO the root of this
trouble. They attack the gas-making
foods and render them harmless. Fla.

ply cannot exist where these power

are in evidence.
They were made for this very pur-
pose. TO attack gas making foods and
convert them into proper nutriment.
This is their province and ONCE. A
whole book could be written about
them ana then not all told that might
be told with profit to sufferers from
this painful disease, dyspepsia. 1t

LAD DEAD MYsTERIoUsLY.
Police Think Ann Arbor Lad Wa
Hanged BY His Piaymates.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Jan. 20.--The
police are trying to solve the mys-
FERROUS death of Foster Campbell, nine
years old. whose lifeless body was
found last night in shanty by his
mother, Mrs. William Campbell. and
his brother, Roy, aged 13. He had
met death by hanging.
The police think the lad may have
been slain by his playmates as the
result of dispute, and are working
on this theory. There had been a
feud between young Campbell and
other boys and yesterday 1t became
pronounced.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-09-18

WASHINGTON, August 2S.-There
is a conviction among politicians in
Washington today that President
Taft made a mistake in his attack up
on the insurgents Saturday. OF
course. his assault upon the Demo
Gratis who took part in the making Of
the tariff bills that were vetoed by
him was to be expected, but his con-
sentative course toward the insur-
gents heretofore led up to the general
belief that he would ignore their atti-
tude for the sake of keeping the party
together as much as possible. Having
attacked the insurgents by name,
there is now nothing for them to do
but make answer, giving further evil
dence of the split in the Republican
ranks.
That Mr. Taft is to be nominated
for a second term is generally admit
ted by Democrats and Republicans
alike. Granting that to be true, it
has been understood that Mr.. Taft
would find nothing to be gained ly
attacking the insurgents and that, on
the other hand, his best policy would
be to outline his position on the tar
iff without making a personal attack
upon any one by name.
Might Bolt Tickst.
1t is pointed out today that if the
insurgents become more embittered
than in the past against the President
it will be prac cally impossible for
them to support him in the Novembeg
elections, while if he continued to
pursue a non-personal course he
would be in position to expect support
from the insurgents when nominated

One example occurred in New York,
where a man arrested for a minor Of
Tense was found to have a trunk filled
with military maps and information
which convinced army officers he was
in the pay of a foreign government.
Less than a year ago an enlisted
man in the Philippines, who was used
as the official photographer for the
army in the islands, was offered $685.

lenses of Corregidor Island. The de-
lenses at this place are the most mod
ern and the most elaborate Of any
ever constructed by this country, and
especial precautions have been taken
to keep the details secret. The enlist
ed man pretended to accept the offer
and thus led the would-be purchasers
of American military secrets into a
trap. They were caught, but by hab
cas- corpus proceedings, as the Incl
dent occurred before the new law was
enacted, were able to escape.

SIGNS CARRIED IN
CALIFORNIA LABOR DAY PARADE

OAKLAND, Sept. 4.-Striking and
inhammatory banners, done princi-
pally in red ink, and many of them
advocating violent and near-anar-
chistic doctrines constituted one Of
the noticeable features of the huge
turnout of workers which tTudged
through the downtown section this
morning.
A great number of these banners re-
lated to the Mcnamara trouble in the
south, others had to do with the local
Sunset lumber strike, while still
others we're entirely general in their
character
Coming first in point of prominence
and Immediately behind the guard Of
honor and the grand marshal with his
aides was detachment of the team
sters union, which carried this strik-
ing inscription:
THE carpenter of Nazareth was
crucifed. They would hang the iron
worker of Indianapolis"
The carmen carried a banner which
said: "The Lord loveth a cheerful
giver; remember the McNamaras."
Probably the most alarming state
ments and the largest number of signs
were carried by the millmen's union,
though they divided honors closely
with the carpenters and joiners, The
millmen advanced the following senti
ments:
THE only way to save the McNa
maras is by general strike"
"This is not peace; it is the bis
class war"

Still Easy for Spies.

WASHINGTON Sept. 4.-Despite
the recent passage Of a law making
spying on the United States military
reservations a criminal offense with
heavy punishment in time of peace, II
is still easy for foreign governments
to obtain information about the de-
lenses of the United States, in the
opinion of officers Of the general star
of the army at the War Department.
Though visitors are not permitted
to take cameras into fortified places
maintained by the United States, the
officers declare it is an easy matter
for any man, familiar with coast de-
lenses, to visit a fort and without TAX
ing written note, to gather enough
material in half an hour to enable him
to chart completely the position OF
the guns, their number, size, range
and effectiveness. There is no way
of making this impossible without
sealing up all the forts, which is, OF
course, obviously impossible
Despite this, however there have
been many instances Of deliberate at
tempts at spying which seem to jus

undesirable, for it is lacking in flavor

There are no bananas exported from

cal consumption to a limited extent
only, for the fruit will not bear much
handling and hence is unfit for eX-
porting. The guinea is a short green
ish or yellow fruit, a heavy bearer but
of coarse texture and little value.
Then there is the manazana, a small
but finely favored fruit, also unfit
for undergoing long journeys. The
ciento en- boca is only about 21a in
ches in length, but with rind so deli
cate that it will not bear handling. a
dwarf variety, similar to the roatan, is
grown to some extent. Its flavor is
good and the pulp is very soft and
buttery, but it is not suitable for eX
port, though a most prolific bearer.
Considerable interest has been
awakened in the United States by
companies organized with the object
of planting bananas and disposing Of
their lands in small parcels to peo
pie of modest means. These cOmpa
MES have brought here suckers o.

toned that there is not in the entir,

pleased that the President has opened
the fight. 1t enables Mr.. La Toilette,
according to information today, to
speak more plainly than he would
otherwise have done. 1t also gives
him the chance he has been wanting
of .raUvine his forces for the fight
for the Republican nomination.
The President proceeded cautiously
in writing his vetoes against the tar.
if bills. 1t was suggested to him ct
the time that he fill the veto messages
with pepper, sparing none of the n.
eurgents against whom he had infor-
nation that he could have used. Hav-
ing failed to follow the advice given
him at that time, it is regarded by
many as surprising that he should
start the fight now.
Speech Not on Cards.
u became known today that the
speech was not upon the cards for de-
livery at the Republican rally at the
home of Representative Gardner, and
the President seems to have acted
upon impulse in his assault.
Some of the Presidents friends
commend him for beginning the fight
now and sparing none of the insur
gents. They declare that he cannot
gain anything by a conciliatorN
course with them, and that he mieh'
as well begin now and arouse the
Republicans of every state in the
country, using the protection theor!
as the basis. They declare that the
insurgents would not have spared the
President, and that he is justified il
lambasting their policy on the tariff
Net only will the insurgents fight hin
for the nomination, it is asserted, bu
their fidelity to the national Repuh
lican ticket that is nominated is ques

could be INDUCED in at that particular
time.
We recorded the movements of the
artifcially made panic as the plot I'M
folded day by day. Despite all warn.
ings, the insiders continued to unload
stocks upon the public at only grad
ually lessening prices, thus continuing
to add to their war fund, after the
death sentence of prosperity had been
read to all the world.
Soon after the Rockefeller prophecy
of evil it became known to the New
York inside business world that war
had been declared against f. Augustus
Heinze and Charles W. Morse.
Heinze was an ancient, picturesque
and expensive enemy of Standard
Oils Amalgamated Copper Company.
He never had been punctilious in his
financial methods or morals-other-
wise he never would have seen New
York. In Montana he fought the devil
with fire and won. The winning was
his offense. Standard Oil was forced
to a compromise that left Heinze with
a dozen millions. Thereupon Standard
Oil marked Heinze for destruction and
bided its time. The time came in 1907.
Charles Morse had made the mis-
take of failing to content himself with
mastery of the ice market He had
become a possible impeachment to J. p.
Morgan. He had made a merger of
Atlantic coastwise steamer lines. Nor
gan was just about ready to perfect
the railroad-trolley-water monopoly of
New England transportation. Morses
boats provided undesirable competi-
ton. Morse became a marked man.
And both Heinze and Morse had come
to New York and were dabbling in
finance.
The public was misled as to the real
situation by skillful press agents keep
ing alive the fiction that the old bust
ness enmity between the Rockefeller
Hartman group and the Morgan inter-
ests still existed.
Persistent, secret, united work led
only to the finding that the intruders
from Montana and New England were
better fortified than the masters of
Wall street had supposed. After with
standing months Of warfare they still
had at their back financial institutions
which were able to give them protec-
ton.
