THE nomination of Presid ent
Taft and Vice President Sherman
{ by the Chicago convention marks
b another important period of the
3 history Of the Republican Party,
aud Of this government. Fifty years
ago thar@party same into existance
as the result Of long agitation of
important question, chief of which
was the confinement of slavery to
certains limits, but which after
wards wrought the abolition of
Saiiffery in America. The questions
Whore the people at the present day
are of as much Importance to their
future. as were those of half a cen
tury ago, to the people of that time,
and one ofthe greatest is the money
interests, which effect the very
basis of all business aud civic
affairs, and only through the politi-
cal medium can the problem be
solved. We hope that it may be
wisely adjusted, but in the mean
time the people must expect that
ell this agitation will result in dis
satisfaction with the methods, and
lack of confidence in the results
to beachieved this will be followed |
with lack Of confidence in the busi-

turmoil continues, the depression

RESENT SPEECH
ABOUT TITANIC
Officers in British Merchant
Marine Are Angered by
Charge of CoWakdice

VANCOUVER, ID. G.l, August 22.-
Now that the judgment of Lord Mer.
sey in connection with the loss of the
Titanic has 6een made public, Il. w.
Moore, secretary of the Imperial Serv-
ice Guild, has given out for publica.
ton letter which was directed by
the guild to Senator Smith some
weeks ago for bis attack on the execu-
tive officers of the Titanic after the
committees report had been introdue-
ed. The letter in part says: 90
II am directed by the guild, which
is the great representative body of
the captains and officers Of the Brit
ish merchant service, to inform you OF
the profound indignation which pre-
walls throughout the service, ranging
from the highest to the lowest rank,
at the malevolence which character
lied your speech on the report of your
committee which inquired into the
loss of the Titanic.
Had your recriminaticns and criti-
cisms been confined to those really re-
sponSible for grave laXity in the way
of obsolete regulations, or the omis-
sion to make such in order to keep
pace with the modern developments of
merchant shipping, your committee
and your remarks would have done a
great public service; but when, with
out a shred of evidence or a particle
of truth, you accuse officers of the
British merchantile marine of despica-
BILE cowardice, we deem, it requisite
to repel such odorous insinuations,
while We would suggest that, their
falsity is such as to minimize very
greatly the importance which other
wise would have been attached to the
report of your committee and your
own speech"

NocroIHIY LINUoT.S INQUIRY into the
Complaints made by Deleeatet Kuhic
against Governor Frear was turned
this morning with almost dramatic
suddennese ana effect INTO B stale
ment BY Mr.. Fisher as to hib own
policy with regard to the Governor oi
this Terrftory. That policy. as he de
clared ii off-hand but with consider
able vigor. is OF recognizing the Gov
erhor's administration OF consulting
him with regard to political appoint
ments. and 81 cooperating with him.
Moreover, the Secretary OF the Int
rior took the occasion to assert with
even more visor, his big voice booming
out into the Senate chamber with un.
mistakable emphasis that 50 far as
he Il aware. the national administra,
tion has never failed to support Gov.
ernor Frear.
This sudden turn to q rather un.
eventful hearing came toward the end
of the morninf. Attorney C. w. Ash

vented him from appearing for the

HIS place III tue IloiEllau y desk, stI6
Secretary sat with George r. Carter
and James Rath, chatting leisurely.
At 3 table in the center Of the
chamber, directly In front Of tht
chairman and with his back to the
audience, sat Governor Frear, with
his attorneys, Clarence HI. Olson and
6. r. Hemenway. Just mauka of this
table was another desk, at which sal
Prince Kuhio and Attorney G. w. Ash
ford.
On taking his place as chairman, the
Secretary opened the proceedings by
greeting Attorney Ashford. comment
ing. on the latter's absence from Sat
urday's hearing. Asked If he had
gained a knowledge of that meetings
doings, Ashford replied he had read
1t In the newspapers. Fisher replied
those accounts had been fairly accu-
rate.
Fisher then asked the attorney to
outline Kuhio's charges. A moment
later, at the request Of Attorney Oh
son, the names of the, Goyernor's 6
counsel were entered on record as
such.
Ashford, in his opening statement,
said the Delegate had been somewhat
embarrassed by the absence of his own
counsel. He then proceeded immedi-
ately to outline the Princes charges.
He explained the business and pro-
fessional standing in the Territory Of
the attorneys for the Governor, and
why, for that reason, his own client.
the Prince, was placed in an embar-
raising position.
He made a special request that,
owing to his own physical illness, he
be permitted to sit during the hear
ing. Fisher graciously granted the re-
quest, suggesting that Ashford inform
him If he became too weakened to
proceed with his work at the inquiry.
Ashford said he thought that Gov
ernor Frear's figures Of Saturday, CIV
ing $4,000 acres as capable of being
given out to homesteaders, might be
revised and materially increased.
Discussing F. M. Swanzy's statement
OF Saturday, that the rental system
is preferable tosthe homesteading sys-
tenn, he said he believed the latter
system would give far greater reye-
nues to the government :f-t
He said laws should prohibit further
rental to large interests. "As, for in
stance" he said, mo one man should
have more than 80 acres of irrigated
land, while no one should have more
than, 500 acres Of grazing land
ours is a peculiar situation here, :"
he said, little later, explaining the
wonderful mixture Of world races of
men. He declared we are not an Amer
ican community save as possession
of the United States. The vast ma
jority of the people are aliens even
to the soil itself. Discussing the races,
he said the Chinese have been found
thrifty and quite desirable, but when
immigration of that race was check
ed, the Japanese began coming in such
hordes that at present that race forms
the great majority Of people in the
Islands. ~ ~ ~-
He issued a warning against the
Japanese, declaring that in a few
years they will control the ballot here.
."All business, they say, is selfish" he
declared, "and l believe the planta-
tions are the only ones still in favor
of further importation of the Japan
ese.',

favor in the division Of public lands.
A population of Americans should be
establ blished here, IL 1t can be found
practicable, he said, because those peo-
pie will be especially desirable to the
United States in the event Of war.
While he was not ready to issue a
cry of alarm against Orientalism, he
thought the Americans should be far
more desirable Put an American on
guard" he declared.
Discussing Swanzy's statement of
Saturday that the small owner idea is
impracticable because of the necessity
Of great expenditures for irrigation,
he said the theory is not tenable, be-
cause the government can take over
water sources and handle them for the
benefit Of the people, as is done in the
States.
II the land of Waiakea were with
drawn from rental and homesteaded,
the land would be taken up and the
cultivation of cane would proceed al
most without interruption. Home
steads should be of not less than 40
acres of cane land per tract He
thought q homestead should consist,
ordinarily, or 40 to 100 or more acres,
and thought 1t correct that a home
steadeFs sheuld be able to hire such
help AS is necessary to do the re-
quired work on his land.
What kind or quality of cane land
are, you speaking Off" Fisher asked.
What tonnage per acre? Forty acres
raising 80 or 40 tons per acre could
be handled by one homesteader?"
l.sYes.
Fisher asked If he thought the farm
er here should be required to do as
much work here as in the States. Ash
ford said the farmers in the States
are using Grand pianos, riding in au-
tomobiles and yet seemed to be doing
as much actual farming as ever.
Fisher reminded him that only about
700 farmers could get parcels of the
5000 acres to be opened in the Ter
ritory. If they were to get so acres
each. Ashford agreed that such would
be the case. He further agreed that
the system should be such that the

Ashford said he didn't believe the
general theory here that the white
man won't labor in the tropical cli-
mate. He declared his belief that the
reason for the white set
tiers failure generally here is the con-
dftions brought about by the great
land owners, who do not want them.
Fisher asked if he thought the
American farmer would continue to
be a constant worker on the land.
Ashford replied that he thought they
would. .s,' s.s> -.
Walter A. Bradley and Byron o.

give facts on this phase of the ques-
ton. Others who might also assist,
he said, are e. X. Ellsworth, in charge

e. McWayne. -. r" =. =.-
AS to requirements as to residence,
Ashford thought that would not be
