Dear Sir:
We wish to write you and express our
appreciation of the benefit derived
from the medicine we bought from you.
Our daughter, May, girl of Is years of
age, had suffered greatly with female
trouble. For months she had no use Of
her mind at all. She was perfectly
helpless, someone had to be constantly
with her. We had several doctors to
wait on her, but none of them seemed
to do her any good.
We bought from you bottle of Wat
kins Female Remedy, and used it,
Then we bought the second bottle
May was much improved by this time
And now we are on the fourth bottle
and she is all right. Her mind is good
and her physical condition is splendid
In fact, the medicine has completely
cured her from all appearances.
We want to highly recommend Wat
kins Female Remedy, and advise all
women suffering with this trouble to
try it, With best wishes,
Very truly,
BEN HARRIS.

HAWAIPS VOTE AGAINST

That the Hawaii delegation voted

That the vote was a protest against
the steam-roller methods by which
two delegates were grabbed from the
California Roosevelters and. by which
other Roosevelt men were blocked
from the convention, is said to be
only partly true. and that Hawaii had
something else besides this in mind.
The local delegation, going instruct

other skigmfshes.

Carter Says
Twas Great
Theft
BY GEORGE B. cARrER

The suicidal success of the reaction
aries in the Republican party was
complete. No man who stands for q
truly representative party can stanf
any longer in the Republican party.
The national committee, with its
power of initiative, defied public opin-
ion. ignored justice. reversed its owr
decisions, set aside its own rules, seat
ed its tainted delegates, and openly de-
termined to rule Z ruin.
It's dishonest majority elected him
and Mr.. Root proved true to his clients

/ majority of Republican voters in Penn

ginia have been ignored.

tion in Republican. convention.
1t is no longer question of policies
or of men. but a great moral question
has arisen. IT is no new issue-it was
handed down to us from Sinai, and is
expressed in the eighth commandment
Thou shalt not. steal"
The vital questioni clearly at issue is.
Shall the people rule? The crisis is
best expressed in Lincoln's words when
he said:
Il am not bound to win. but I am
bound to be true; l am not bound to
succeed, but / am bound to live up to

anybody that stands right: stand with
him while he is right and part with
him when he goes wrong"
A new party has been born. 1t came
forth out of those ten dark days in.
Chicago, where bosses, beaten in their
own districts, fighting for their polit-
ical existence, deliberately stole the
nomination of President, dishonored.
themselves and their candidates, who
with their. followers are still silent as
to their responsibility in accepting the
benefit of moral wrong
To acquiesce or adopt the result of
the Chicago convention is to endorse
fraud, to submit to gag rule to yield
all hope for or in representative party
government.
The new Progressive party aims to
unite all .sections-North and South.
East and West-in demanding social
and Industrial justice.
Its cry is, fc,Injure no man. but let
no man injure you" It's goal is that
which has ever been the aim of the
American people and the hope of the
world-a true democracy. which avoids
the tyranny of the minority as well as
the tyranny of the majority We in
Hawaii can not avoid this issue-we
have got to meet it.

crease in business during the list
year than lava. C. S. Albert, the

The report of Internal Revenue Col

the national capital, and while the
figures cannot be given out here, he
states that they show an increase CT
90 per cent over the collections of
any previous year in the TerritOTy's s

revised figures, showing the entire

than any other, excepting possibly
those of the New York City office.

unique feature. 1t shows that at The

NIT payments to lag behind, extending
into the latter part of July. The new
rule demands absolutely prompt pay
