IDEAL CANDIDATE
FOR PRESIDENCY.
BY Col. ALEXANDER 8. BACON,
Former Member Of Congress From New
York,

BY Col. ALEXANDER 8. BACON,
Former Member Of Congress From New
York.
An ideal candidate Is one of charm.
ing personality and force OF character,
who has convictions and Is not asharn-
ed to proclaim them and ia brave
enough to change them when con-
vinced they are wrong; man Of learn
ing and experience, acute to compre.
hend situation and correctly to ap
ply actual, present conditions to the
theories Of the books which collate the
analogies of history; forceful speak
er. impressing an audience with his
sincerity, having something to say
drawn frsin a storeheuse Of learning
and having the faculty Of saying Il
conciseiy and forcefully. With enough
flashes of wit to hold the attention Of
the most thoughtless and inattentive.
Such is an ideal candidate.
An ideal president is one who would
live up to his party and personal
pledges in spite of every influence,
even that of personal friendship; who
would put country above party, above
friends and above personal ambition;
one SO wise that he could not be cheat.
ed by friends or bluffed by adversaries
and so strong that he could not be
swerved from duty even by bis wife;
one who is not a tool Of others, but is
himself dominant, ruling those about
him by sheer force of character; su-
perior native acumen and tact and ac-
quired learning, but always exercising
dominance in the interest of democra.
cy, not aristocracy; who would take
each mans counsel, but reserve his
judgment, and would be shrewd and
patriotic enough to surround himself
with cabinet of the strongest and
most unselfsh minds In the country,
yet would himself, like Lincoln, tower
above them all. Such Is an ideal presi-
dent.
Such would be DR. Woodrow Wilson.

THE DEATH DICE.
A Murder Case In Which They Re-
turned q Just Verdict.

turned q Just Verdict.
The German emperor some time ago
presented to the Hohenzollern museum
the death dice" with which one OF
his ancestors decided a difficult case
In the seventeenth century. The his
tory Of these dice Is generally given as
follows:
A young girl had been murdered.
Suspicion fell upon two young soldiers,
Ralph and Alfred, who were suitors
for her hand. They both denied their
guilt, and even torture failed to ex-
tract o confession from either.
Then Elector Frederick William do
cided to cut the knot by means Of the
dice box. The two soldiers should
throw for their lives and the loser
should be executed as the murderer.
The event was celebrated with great
solemnity. Ralph had the first chance
and threw skies, the highest possible
number. The dice box was then given
to Alfred. He fell on bis knees and
prayed. Then he rose to his feet and
threw the dice with such force that
one Of them was broken. The whole
one showed six, the broken one also
gave six on the larger portion, and
the fragment split Off showed one.
This was a total Of thirteen, one be-
yond Ralph's throw. The audience
held Its breath in amazement.
"God has spokenw cried the prince
Ralph. appalled, by what he regarded
as a sign from heaven, confessed his
guilt and was sentenced to DEATH

she dropped from AN upstairs window
over which the flames were bursting,
the fire igniting her night dress. Hei
screams brought to her aid Mrs. Guy
Jonas. who lives next door. and Mrs
Harry Alexander, who was at The
Jonas home. The two women extin
guished the burning dress but not nm,
til Mrs. Allen had been seriously Eurn-
ed on the back, limbs and arms.
| DR.. Sharp was summoned and dress
ed the burns after which Mrs. Allen
was removed to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Barrow, where she ia
being cared for.
The fire started, SO il is said, fiom

When she was awakened by the smoke
the floor beneath her feet was all but
ready to fall.
The house is located on Current
street west of Second. and was owned
by W. s. Buel. who left here several
years ago. Two streams of water
were played on the flames, but sc

Broadway and tho Strand.

Broadway, New York, Is the more or
less exact counterpart Of the London
Strand. 1t Is actually broader, but 1t
appears more narrow because the
houses are 30 much higher, and 1t Is
q little straighter because 1t Is a made
road, not road evolved from what
was once path along river mud. The
general effect is identical. There are
the same kinds Of shops and crowd
Of the same type passing to or from
the business quarter Of the city. But,
as | have said, one rubs ones eyes
looking out at the crowd upon the
sidewalk. 1t is the Strand crowd
cosmopolitan, varied, people touching
one another so closely that the tops OF
their heads appear to form another
tier on the street, tier paved with
hats instead Of wood blocks or gran
ite SETS There 1t is, the crowd. But
1t appears to stop still. In ones first
astonishment one thinks that all these
people are waiting for procession to
pass. One cannot believe that they
are the procession. Nevertheless as
the slow trolley passes onward one
realizes that the crowd Is actually In
motion-that 1t IS the thing Itself, not
the procession. 2S a

Old 1ime Theatsr Rowdies.

Rowdyism in London theaters was a
common occurrence in the old days, as
Is shown by the following from the
London Post OF Oct. 27, 1798:
Two men in the pit at Drury Lane
theater last night were so turbulent
and riotous during the last act Of
Henry " that the performance was
interrupted upward Of quarter of an
hour. The audience at last asserted
their power and turned them disgrace
fully out Of the theater. This should
always be done to crush the race Of
disgusting puppies that are a con-
stant nuisance at the playhouse every
night"

.CLEVER ROAST OF ROOSEVELTISM
BY A KANSAS CONGRESSMAN

WASHINGTON, March 1l.-Con-
gresham Philip p. Campbell Of Kan
sas took a hand today in the Presi-
dental preference primary contro-
versy Campbell gave out copies of
letter from himself to Colonel
Roosevelt.
The colonels letter to Senator
Dixon, given out here on Sunday, APP
parently Endorsed Senator DiXon's
challenge to Director Mckinley for
preferential primaries, and cornd Di-
rector Mckinley for his reply, which,
in part, was that he did not favor
changes in the rules of the game
while the game was in progress. The
colonel referred to a speech Campbell
had made at Concord, n. H., and de-
scribed the representative as declar-
ing that the Republican party did not
believe in an appeal from the umpire
to the bleachers.
Campbell in his letter makes some
observations on the recall of judges
and judicial decisions.
You have overlooked one of the
mot important cases ever tried" he
wrote. "Pilate acquitted Christ An
appeal from Pilates decision was
taken to the people, and the Savior
was crucified."
In part, Campbell's letter follows:
my Dear Colonel: You artfully
assume in your letter to Senator
Dixon this morning that l was talk
ing about politics in the Concord
speech when / said the Republican
party was not in favor of appealing
from the decision of the umpire to
the bleachers.
Every man who knows the old
rule of the prize ring knew a few
days ago, when you said your hat
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-20

was in the ring, that you were un-
dressing for the fight. Tn fans know
that an appeal from the umpire to
the bleachers would end the game.
Now, the fact is, / was discussing
your astounding proposition to appeal
from the decisions of the court to the
crowd in the courthouse yard and
what I said, to which you take excep-
ton, was in that connection.
speaking Of reactionaries, you will
agree that James II was a reaction
airy who recalled judges he had ap-
pointed when they would not write
the kind of opinions he wanted writ
ten. The progressive commons Of
England made the judges Independent
of recall for declaring the law instead
of the will of the power that made
them judges.
you sometimes refer to Lincoln,
You will recall that he said in the
midst of a great war for the preser-
walton of this government that this
was "a government of the people, Tor
the people and by the people, You
will also recall that the instrumental
tiles by which the people govern
themselves when Lincoln made that
speech did not include the initiative,
the referendum and the recall, nor,
indeed, the recall of judicial decis-
ions.
Nov, does it not look to you, on
reflection, like rank reaction to 90
back to instrumentalities of govern
ment, some of them older than Roman
civilization, and that brought bad rule
and limitation of years rather than
good rule and length of days to the
governments that adopted and prac-
/ ticed them?
Every truly yours.
