AN lNQUIsITIvE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

Down at Blue Earth, which is the
county seat of fertile Faribaula,
resides a man by the name of Harry
L. Bulls. Mr.. Bulls is an attorney
and for a long time has been county
attorney.
Now, County Attorney Bulls is a
republican but his ides of republican
ism seeus to clash with that of
President Taft as the following CON-
munication from Mr.. Bulls will in.
dictate, the Pioneer reproducing it
because of the vital interest of this
particular part of the country in
the proposed Canadian reciprocity
treaty:
AS sincere seeker after truth I
desire to ask fewquestions, pertinent
and impertinant, relating to the reci-
procity agreement with Canada and
to the general welfare of the agricul-
tural community.
l have just read J. J. Hills ad-
dress wherein he convinced $50
invited guests of the desirability of
ratifying this agreement which I con.
clude was to demonstrate to our
members of congress where we,
the people, stand on the proposition.
The names of men who til the soil
to gain a sustenance were not men,
toned as guests. Doyou think it
is possible the guests were
invited with a view of their sus-
ceptibility to become convinced?
Are there any people who would be
so unfair as that?
1t seems one of the principal
purposes of this agreement is to re-
duce the high cost of living Cat least
that is the argument in the east.)
Is that true? This is to be brought
about manifestly by reducing the
price of those articles which enter
materially into the cost of living,
that is food products: Is this true?
IF so; how can the cost of food
products be reduced to the consumer
without reducing the selling price
of the same products by the pro-
Queer, especially when the natural
products, wheat and live stock for
instanse, retain no protective duties
while mill products and dressed
meats ETC.. still retain a measure of
protection?
1t is true that the protectionists
of both parties have always MAIN
tanned that protection did not en-.
nance the price of the protected
article to the consumer. If this was
true why did they want it? 1t is
also true that the protectionists of
both parties always claimed that if a

Four Kinds of Liars.

The late Sir Frederick Bramwell was

called that his brother, the late Lord
Justice Bramwell, on giving advice to
a young barrister told him to be care
full of four kinds of witnesses first,
Of the liar; second, Of the liar who
could only be adequately described by
the aid of a powerful adjective; third,
Of the expert witness, and, finally, of

THE JAPANESE
CONSUL SENDS
CORDIAL REPLY

In his report to the Promotion
Committee this week Secretary H. P.
Wood includes a reply made by Hon.
S. Uyeno, Japanese consul, to the in
vitation sent to the Japanese in con-
nection with the proposed Pan Pacific
Travel Congress. The consurs answer
was as follows:
81 have received your letter of jan
uary 9Th, with an enclosure which you
wrote to the Japanese Welcome So
ciety, setting forth an effort Of yours
to have a Pan-Pacific and Travel
Congress meet in Honolulu, on the
goth of February next. You stated
that you had received no answer from
the Japanese Welcome Society to that
communication. Immediately on re-
ceipt of your letter, l wrote an urgent
communication to that society and to
others interested in the matter, set
ting forth, as | conceive, the impor-
tance to Japan of your meeting.
independent of any commercial in
terest that may be enhanced by the
representatives coming together in
Honolulu, there are other features
equally important with the enhance
ment of merely commercial consider
ations.
| more than half the people of the
world live around theshores of the
mighty Pacific Ocean and their him
terlands. 1t is of the first Importance
that these various peoples know one
another, and by their travel and inter-
communication friendly acquaintance
is established which makes for the
friendship and prosperity of all.
'I quite agree with you that youI
meeting would not be complete with
out a representative from Japan, and
if it be necessary in addition to my
letter, l shall cable on proper occa-
sion. We, of Japan, court the ac-
| quaintance of all nations, and espe-
cially a thorough knowledge of oul
! greatest and nearest neighbor, Amer
lea. We also wish by all fair anc
! friendly means to have Americans gel
acquainted with us and our life il

peace and good will, and peace ant

may be but the beginning of yearl!

THEATRICAL SYNDICATE MAY
BUY OUT THE SECOND MERGER

The gossip of "The Great White
Way this morning is that the Homo
lulu Amusement Company, which in
cludes the Savoy, Empire, Bijou, Park
and Orpheum theaters, may buy out
the prospects of the talked-o second
and separate merger which was to
have been based on the chances of
making a success out of the uncom-
pleted auditorium.
There is said to be a deal on at
this time whereby the Honolulu
Amusement Company seeks to pur-
chase the auditorium as it stands, in.
complete as it is, with a view, pos
sibly, to razing it to the ground and
wiping it altogether off the map of

ing point is the price asked and the
price which the Honolulu Amusement
Company is willing to pay.

Governor Frear this morning said
that he thought that F. M. Hatch was

There is no particular regulation
