KoHALA PROTESTS,

Those who have Chinese cooks and
other laborers must hustle for them
selves until this excess of Oriental
New Yearishness has worn itself
out. More's the pity that the younger
generation of Chinese men do not
see that the American temper will
not accept gracefully this expensive
three days tie-up of business. The
young Chinese-American should be
sufficiently Americanized by this time
to accept one holiday at time.

About fifteen soda water manufac-
turers yesterday responded to the
invitation Of Food Commissioner
Blanchard to meet him in regard to
doing away with imitation flavorings
in soda waters. There was one re-
preventative from Maui, and nearly
all the manufacturers from Honolulu
were present.
Blanchard read the stature dealing
with this matter, and explaining that
he intended to see that the law was
complied with
A long discussion took place con-
corning the use of certain coal tar
1lavors as allowed by law, and this
was followed by debate on the style
of labels adopted.
Blanchard took the view that the la
bel should not convey an incorrect
idea regarding the contents of the
bottles, and pointed out that a wrong
impression to the buyer was not per-
missible. The major portion of the
discussion conferred about the flavor
Of strawberry. Some of those present
seemed inclined to fall into line, but
others fought hard against any change
Blanchard told them that ii must be
made clear that buyers were getting
imitation waters. People went up 10
the counter and asked for the drink
that they wanted, and usually they
were handed an imitation article.
Certainly it was stated on most labels
that the contents were limitations, but
how many people bothered to LOOK
at the labels to read them? Besides
that the buyer would not ask for imi-
tation soda waters.
1t was, mentioned that the iavorings
used were not so harmful as others
that could be referred to. Blanchard
said that that was not the point The
idea was to have pure soda waters,
and his business was to see that the
law was carried out, and not to say
whether the contents were harmful,
Then again the argument was raised
that the soda men had a lot of la
bells on hand, and it would be a hard
ship If they had to do away with these
Immediately.
To this question Blanchard replied
by giving them until May l in which
! to make the change. After that date

SAYS SHE KNOWS
ASSASSINS' PLOT

Miss Pearl Bjorn, who is on a
short visit to Honolulu, thinks that
she holds some valuable knowledge
in connection with the death of John
o. Norbom, mining engineer, who
was blown up on the Berkeley ferry,
boat on January 10.
Miss Bjorn came to these islands
for a short holiday, and she leaves
on the Wilhelmina again tomorrow
for her home in San Francisco, where
she is employed in one of the trans
portation Companies. She thinks that
she can give some information that
will be of material use in tracking
down the assassins, for she firmly
believes that Mr.. Norbom was killed
by someone who had an object to
gain.
She tells a sensational story of
how Norbom because he held some
great secret, was tracked from the
goldfields of South Africa to Lon
don, thence through his native land,
Norway, and on 10 California, What
she has to disclose will be told to the
proper authorities. Miss Biorn after
a short sojourn in San Francisco goes
on to Alaska to visit her brother, and
she has planned to return to Homo
lulu in October next, when she will
settle down here.

DECLARED DRUNK AND

who has been in the Territory for
about a month, was charged with
drunkenness before Judge Lymer yes

WAS DRUNK AND
HUNGRY WHEN
He BURGLED

The soldier, S, Friedman, who was
arrested in connection with the theft
of a suit case from the residence of
j. Cox, at Kaimuki, on Wednesday
last yesterday practically admit
ted his guilt to Judge Lymer. He
said he had not been to camp for
three days, was tired and hungry on
Wednesday last and in looking for
place to sleep he went into Mr.
Cox's residence. He was drunk at
the time and did not know what
he was doing. Afterwards he sold
that suitcase for 81 so but took the
contents Of the suitcase to camp with
him. The only evidence taken in
the police court was that of Chief
McDuffie who testified as to Friedman's
arrest and the admissions he had
made. Friedman was committed for
trial by the Circuit provided that the
Grand Jury found a true bill against
him.

little book is enough to make one

The fact that over one thousand

The Fight on the Insurgents.

The Presidents speech at Hamilton.
Mass, as given in The Washington
Herald yesterday, indicates that he has
carried the war into Africa. He asks
no quarter from the insurgents who
sought tariff reduction and will give
none. He 'denounces their alliance with
the Democrats, and is even more severe
in his Characterization of their conduct
than was possible in his formal mes
sages to Congress.
This means that the rift in the Re
publican party is widening into a
chasm. The insurgent Republicans, for
their part, will now be compelled to as
sumo the defensive, and bitter and
prolonged controversy is inevitable.
Political history affords a counter
part for the present situation in the at
titude of President Cleveland toward
the faction of the Democratic party
which, in 1895 and 1896, favored the
free coinage of silver Mr. Cleveland
had several opportunities to compro-
mise, but he held to his own views with
frmness, not to say obstinacy. He
would not yield one jot or title to
those who disagreed with him. The re-
suit was a division in the Democratic
party which has lasted until the pres
ent time
The President might have commended
the insurgents for good intentions,
while, at the same time, pointing out
that they were misguided, hasty, and
uninforned. He has not, however,
sought this conciliatory path. He has
made the issue clear and definite, and
has divided his party into Taft and
anti Taft Republicans. His courage is
commendable, but the situation forcibly
recalls the ancient proverb concerning
house divided against itself.

can people" If it is, it means that the
Constitution, under which this govern
ment has fourished for more than a
hundred years, is wrong. He cannot,
however, get the great majority of the
American people to follow him to this
extent. Many may question the wisdom
of the Presidents action from political
point of view, but there can be no doubt
that he acted in strict accordance with
his duty as outlined by the Constitu-
tion; that he was not guilty of an un-
justihable assumption of power, and
that the dangers and disadvantages of
the Presidential veto, which are now
rehearsed as though they were novel
and applicable to the present day, were
all considered and overruled when the
foundations of this government were
being laid.
