scare talk. which Mr.. Inui declares
is ridiculous.
He went on TO say that in modern
times no nation can do without the
other, and with every nation having
large financial interests so closely
connected that all are essential TO
the mutual well.being. peace is an
essential. There must be unity TO
have prosperity and this is realized
in Japan as Well as in America.
I'm America" said Mr.. Inui, the
talk is that Japan is preparing to in
wade America, she is getting a foot
hold on Hawaii and she will soon
land an army on the shores of Cali
fornia. At the same time in Japan
we could say: Look at America:
first the. people of the nation drive
the Indians off the land. Then the
rebels from the mother country form
thirteen States and force Spain to
sell Florida Louisiana is next OBJ

is forced TO cede Texas and a large

POINTS OUT ADVANTAGES
I'm sSTATE7AlD2 ROAD WORK

! = -
Engineer H K Bishop of the Ha-
wall Loan Fund commission pointed
out the following advantages in the
"state-aid' road system in his able
paper on the subject read at the Hilo
conference last week, which was re-
published in Saturdays star3Bulle-
/ tin: 1t''S5'> '''.. - ','
First the counties are enabled
to construct a larger mileage of i'm
proved road and to eventually have
complete system covering the prin
cipal roads of the county.
Second, the counties are enabled
to secure the benefit of the service
of high class road engineers, Chem.
lists and other experts which if it de
pended upon the county alone, they
never could afford.
Third. BY systematizing and stand
ardizing the work, much better work
viii be performed with the least
trouble and expense and designs -oi
the most economical construction
adopted
! Fourth. Through constant touch
with the U. S. office of Good Roads,
the Territorial Highway Department
will be able to keep posted on all new
systems of construction and mainte-
nance and to profit by the latest
ideas and practices in road work.
Fifth. By combining the work in
the several counties under one de,
partment, a more economical distri.
button of the engineering services
may be obtained.
Sixth The counties are relieved OF
a considerable part of their mileage
and are thus able to devote all their
energies to the construction and main.
tetiance of their district roads.
Territory Must Work as Unit.
With such a system as outlined
above, the counties and Territory of
Hawaii will eventually obtain and
maintain a system of good roads.
Without such a system and especially
without the Territorial aid, the coun-
ties will undoubtedly stand still and
continue to have poor roads. The
construction and maintenance of a
system of roads is Of altogether too
great magnitude and financial burden
for the counties to shoulder alone.
Why not benefit by the experience
of the older and richer States of the
Union who can much better afford to
throw away money on poor construc-
ton and experimental systems than
the Territory of Hawaii, where every
dollar counts and is needed for i'm.
provement of the great mileage OF
road in each county. The State AID
plan has come to stay. 1t has been
tried and the present system is the
result of experience. Hawaii has a
chance to profit from this experience
and save its taxpayers thousands OF
dollars. Will she do so? I am in
clined to think she will. | have fail
ed to note any lack of progressive
ness on the part of the people of Ha-
wall. They are all from Missouri
and must be shown, but show them

it, l hope ! have shown you at least
the entrance and That you will stop,
look and listen, for l am convinced IN
my own mind that the system OF
State Aid and Territorial assistance
is your only salvation.

Changes in Coinage.

Changes in Coinage. d.
There have been several changes in
the femohlnatfons of coins minted by
the United States since 1874. In that
year the coinage Of silver half dimes
and silver three cent pieces was dis
continued. IN 1879 the coinage of
twenty cent silver pieces was discon.

age of trade dollars ceased. In 1889,
by Act Of Congress the coinage Of
three dollar and one dollar gold piec-
es was discontinued, and 1904 the
coinage Of the half cent and three
years later the two cent pieces were
discontinued. In 1889 the three cent
pieces we're also discontinued. Since
1904, the only coins minted by the
Government are, gold, double eagles,

LOST THE HAY

While on his way for Eureka
Tuesday afternoon with a four
horse load of baled hay from his
ranch in Diamond valley, Edgar
Sadler, accompanied by his father
in-law, Thomas Eccles, had the
misfortune to lose both the wagon
and load of hay by fire. Mr..
Eccles, who had been smoking,
dropped some live ashes down be-
tween the lay and the front of the
wagon box. He took the whip
stock and stamped out the fire as
ne supposed, but all of a sudden
the lay began to blaze and burned
so rapidly that nothing courd be
done to check it. Both men at
once commenced unhitchi,g the
team, and barely got them away
from the burning wagon in time
to save the horses.-Eureka

SENATOR MASSEYS RECORD

The Reno Gazette in the course
of a labored article gives several.
reasons why Senator Massey should
be elected. One of which is that
democratic PAL ers endorsed his
appointment to the senatorship.
The Gazette. however, forgers that
the endorsement of the democratic
press went merely to the new
senator's ability and character and
not to his" political principles.
They were just as obnoxious to the
democratic editors then as they are
now. The Independent endorsed
Senator Massev's appointment
because it was in strong contrast
to that of George Wingfield. The
former represents the manhood
and intelligence of the state and
the latter nothing but a bag of
gold.
The Gazette calls. Senator Massey
independent, progressive i. and
fearless" He may, be 80 in his
business and social relations. but
as a senator of the United States
he has been one Of the sturdiest
stand-patters in that body. He has
consistently voted with them on
every important question. He has
followed Lodge, Smoot, Penrose
and Crane and turned his back to
LaFollette, Bristow, Cummins and
the other progressives. He has
voted against every attempt of
the progressive republicans and
democrats to revise the iniqritous
Payne-Aldrich-Taft tariff law.
His progressiveness may satisfy the
Gazette, but it will have difficult
task to convince the voters of
Nevada that it bears the true
brand.
While we concede the high
character and ability of Senator
Massey, we do not believe that he
is one whit more worthy and
capable than Hon. Key Pittman is.
Senator Massey believes in republi-
can principles and policies which
have been repudiated by the
people. Mr.. Pittman believes it
is time that the law makers of the
nation should listen to the
voic of the people and legislate in
their favor instead of doing the
bidding of the fvored few. He
stands upon the broad principles
Of democracy and he should receive
the solid vote Of his party in
November.
