ARCHBISHOP IRELAND DENOUNCES
JUDICIAL RECALL AS MOBOCRACY

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, October IL.
Initiative, referendum and recall
were termed the weapon of "moboc-
racy" by Archbishop Ireland in an adj
dress at the banquet of the Army of
the Tennessee here tonight. Arch
bishop Ireland said:
''The clamor is heard that the
American democracy, such as the Re-
public has known for a century and
quarter, must be torn asunder, under
the pretense that with it the people do
not govern with sufficient directness.
Democracy, yes mobocracy, never!
And toward mobocracy we are hidden
to wend our way. The shibboleths of
the clamor, you know-the initiative,
referendum and the recall are nothing
more or less than the madness of de-
mocracy,
with the initiative and referendum,
active legislative bodies become mere
bureaus of registration and exchange

WISCONSIN SENATORIAL SCANDAL
ATTRIBUTED TO PRIMARY LAW

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 11.-Polit-
ical evils in Wisconsin began with the
advent of the primaries as a means
of nominating public officials, accord
ing to Levi H. Bancroft, attorney-gen-
eral of the State, who testified today
before the senatorial committee which
is investigating the election of United
States Senator Stephenson.
Bancroft was called to explain what
he did with $3.50 paid him out of the
$1O7793 Stephenson campaign fund.
He said the money paid him while he
was a candidate for Assemblyman, was
not used to further his own interests,
but was expended entirely in Senator
Stephenson's behalf while the latter
was seeking nomination for the SEN
atorship at the primaries.
AS for the money he had received,
Bancroft said he spent it as fast as
possible, for he was glad to get rid
of it.
"You never heard of any money be-
ing used corruptly in the election of
Mr.. Stephenson? asked Chairman
Hepburn.
Never a cent. Senator Stephenson
always was considered above investi-
cation in this State until he got into

HILO UNANIMOUS AGAINST
RAILROAD TO RUN UPON STREET

In the first impression of Saturdays
Star, the superintendent of public
works was quoted as saying:
The good people of Hilo have no
need to get excited about the pro-
posed railroad to the wharf in that
city. no plans have been drawn up
yet-not even a pencil sketch has been
made. The plans are all tentative and
every opportunity will be given the
public to discuss the proposition.
THE suggested scheme of having
a wide avenue down which the tracks
would run, with streets on either side
for vehicular traffic, may not be the
one adopted. AS to level crossings,
what would they suggest? Bridges
or a tunnel?"

for popular views and opinions. All
conclusive authority is lost to them.
The ultimate verdict, it is true, rests
with the whole people, but many, we
must admit, are the problems regard
ing which the whole people have no
adequate knowledge, to which, in the
thrOes of a political campaign, the
people are unable to give the requis-
lite reflection.
But the worst is the recall. Sta
bility of independence in Office for
fixed period is essential.
"The perils from the recall are
shown when it is extended to the ju-
dietary. If ever independence from
popular clamor is imperiously de-
manded, it is when men are hidden to
speak in the name of supreme Justice,
regardless of consequences to persons
or parties, when absolute caImness II
mind and deepest study are the pre-
requisites to a decision"

Interpreting the Wisconsin law, rel
alive to campaign expenditures which

against Senator Stephenson, had de-
clared prohibited the handing by can

such a construction would interfere
with the constitutional right of citi-
zens to participate in the selection of
their representatives in congress. 1t
was his opinion that the law did not
contemplate such a prohibition.
The committee sent a request to the
State authorities at Madison asking
for all papers used in the previous in
vestigations by the legislature of the
Stephenson charges. w. L. Essman,
custodian, reported that one of the
two boxes containing the papers was

Peanuts Instead Of Cotton

Hundreds of Thousands of Acres
Planted in the Boil MeeEiI Dis
tricts.
Certain sections of the south have
found it practically Impossible, ow-
fng to. the ravages of the boil wee
vii to raise cotton for the past few
years. A Mississippi man, writing
to the Manufacturers Record says
that his county will have produced
this year just coming to a close pos
sibly $500 bales of cotton, compar-
ed with 25,S89 bales three years ago.
Last year" writes the correspon-
dent, Il took it upon myself to in
vestigate the raising CT peanuts as
substitute for cotton. My associates
and myself began public advocacy of
the peanut and we successed in hav-
ing about $500 acres of them plant
ed in this section last year The re-
suits were so good that l was callea
upon tc' go to many points in the boil
weeVil-stricken districts to tell them
about the peanut.
'The result of these visits is that
it is variously estimated that there
will be anywhere from 100000 to
10000 acres planted in the white
Spanish peanut in this state alone
the coming season. And Louisiana,
which last year had something like
$4,000 acres under the crop, will in
crease her acreage the coming sea
son to fully 100000 acres.
That the peanut is money crop
is now no longer a doubt, and it
will always be a fixture on the farms
in this State and Louisiana IF is
found that the hay made from the
DeanUt4 vines is more nutritious than
timothy and also that the hay will
more than pay all expenses incur
red in making the crop.
1T has been proved through nv
own experiments that the oil from
the peanut is of very much higher
grade than cotton cil and hence it is
not at all a question of finding a
market for the oil but to get suffi-
cient supply of the raw material
from which to make the Oil The
market is ready and waiting"

TAX VALUES OF The CITY
SHOW SURPRISING INCREASE

Additional figures relative to the
recent tax assement show some in
teresting facts in connection with the
valuation of property in Henderson
Vile.
According to the figures compiled
from the tax books by Mr.. j. A.
Laughter the increase in real and
personal property over last year is
$3.50, ,461, 90.
The increase in real estate alone,
amounts to $126,098.00.
This is considerably more gain
than ever the most optimistic had eX-
pected and comes in the nature of a
pleasant surprise to those who have
kept close watch over the growth of
the city. An increase had naturally
been anticipated but the figures
showing such a phenomenal growth
in the course of one year were who'll
ly unexpected.
Continued on another galley.
The figures showing the gain in the
valuation of rea: estate alone are per-
haps the better index to the prosper
ity of the city. They emphasize more
Iudu ever Tie real CdnS1DiS MOIln Vi
even the smallest plot of ground
within the incorporate limits of the
city.
Then too, it must be borne in mind
that these figures do not represent
the Valuation of any corporation in
the city In the figures, given above
the considerable amount of money
invested in Incorporated property
was excluded. 1t can not be said
then that the increase was due to any
other cause than the natural inherent
worth c. the property brought about
by the substantial growth of the city.
Each summer means added impetus
to this growth, not only for the sum-
mer season but throughout the entire
year as well. While the greater num-
Der of the guests at the close of the
season, pack their tents and steal
away, as it were, still each year some
appreciating the advantages of a
home here, make arrangements for
more prolonged stay and are event
ually enumerated as constituting a
part and parcel of the landed gentry.
When the Good, Roads Movement is
finally consummated a still stronger
impetus will have been given to the
rapid increase in property valuation
not only for the city but for the entire
county of Henderson.

Aiming His Trusty Pipe He Hats
Negro Burglar.

Waycross, Ca, Aug. 7.-Single
handed and with pipe held like a
pistol, John S. Walker last night
checked the fight of Henry Smith, a
colored burglar. The black
was frightened from the back porch
of DR.. J. L. Walkers home. Just as
he was climbing the rear fence. John
Walker drove by in his auto, en- route
to the garage. He called to the ne
gro to stop, grabbing his pipe from
his mouth as he did so.
The negro was on the verge of run
ming when the young man called that
he would shoot Looking, the negro
saw what was apparently a business
looking gun toward him. He stopp-
ed. A telephone call to the police
station brought officers.
AS the negro was taken off Mr..
Walker struck match, remarking
that his "gun" had gone out. The
negro received a short Jail sentence
as a suspicious character.
