MORE STRINGS
ON THE LESSEE
Makee Company Gets the Tight
est Government Land
Lease Yet Drawn.
tFrom wednesday,s Advertiser.l


Under new kind of land lease, the
Anahola and Kamalomalo lands were
bid in at public auction yesterday by
the Makee Sugar Company-the only
bidder at the sale. The lease went for
the upset price, which was $4,332.so.
It covers a little over three thousand
acres of land. The lease now being FIN
ally drawn up for execution is about
the most complicated affair of the kind
yet drawn. 1t is based upon rental
of 81 per acre for the cane land and
twenty cents an acre per year for the
pasture land, the government reserving
all sorts of rights to withdraw any Of
the land at any time, for homesteading.
The lessee is pretty well tied up by
restrictions and agreements intended to
pave the way for homesteading. The
lessee is required to expend not less
than $4,000 in improvements, partic-
ularly for increasing the supply of
water and making it available for all
of the land. The rental is to be applied
to the payment of these Improvements
for four or FIVE years.
It is not likely that this land will be
wanted soon for homestead purposes, as
there are large areas of better home
stealing land at Kappa still available
for homestead purposes. Water is re-
served for purposes other than irriga-
ton for all homesteaders and all Others
on the land, and in case of the with
drawal of cane land for homestead pur-
poses the lessee is required to see that
the homesteaders are supplied with suf-
fcient water for irrigation purposes
free of charge, that is, the water would
be included with the land that would go
to the homesteader.
The plans, methods of construction
and location of the contemplated i'm
provements are subject to the approval
of the government and all improve
ments revert to the government at the
expiration of the lease.

CHANG insists ON
GETTIAG ARRESTED
Brilliant Official Array Too Much
for chinaman in Opium
Trade.
(FfOm wednesday,s Advertiser.)

Chang Lin Chez simply couldn't help
getting arrested yesterday. Several
days ago the chief had pinched man
named Chez Hung for stealing an opium
pipe and used him incidentally in run
ming down opium-cookers. This he has
been doing in assistance to the federal
authorities and has caught Eve. Chez,
however, named six, the sixth being an
ex-watehman at the Magoon block.
So McDufie, with Collector Cottrin
and Deputy Heilbron ventured to the
Magoon block. But Chang had got
word of the arrests for cooking opium
out of old pipes. Cottrill was the first
to appear. The place was searched
zealously but never an old pipe or a
cooking pot was found. 1t was finally
decided that if Chang was of this trade
he was too clever to be caught.
AT the last moment, however, the
chief put his hand in big box and
happened across ten full tins of opium
valued at about $780, The officials were
delighted, particularly as there were nc
stamps on the tins. United States Dis.
trict Attorney Breckons was sent for
and Chang went through his second
grilling. After long examination,
however, Uncle Sans experienced
smuggler hunter decided that they had
been stamped at one time, although the
stamps had since been worn off. The
marks of cancellations were visible.
Chang breathed easier again and was
about to bow his guests politely OUT
when the chief commenced to get warm
about the collar for SO much wasted
time. On last bunch he made another
search of the room and found a bag
containing 1920 in gold. The dingy
dirty room did not lead the officers to
suspect that Chang was the possessol
of $500 in cash and property and Nc
Duffie felt surer than ever that the
Chinaman was in the opium trade. Al
an afterthought he asked him if he had
ever supplied the informer, who was
there present, with any opium.
eyes" murmured Chang, as he wal
about to unhinge his back in another
salaam as he led the way to the door
Thereupon the chief, Cottrill, Breck
IONS and Heilbron pounced upon him ant
conveyed him triumphantly to the pc
lice station, for it is unlawful by ter
ritorial mandate to supply opium to an
other without license.
Chang had the pleasure of putting W
800 bail money and will appear thil
morning to pay the consequences.

ASSESSMENTS SHOW
MILLIONS GROWTH
Treasurer Believes Figures viii
Total s25,oOo,OoO Increase,
to Estimates.

The 1912 tax assessment returns are
going to show an increase of about
twenty-five million dollars in the valu-
ations Of property in the Territory of
Hawaii, according to the best estimates
now in. the possession Of Treasurer
Conkling. Some strange vagaries in the
assessment rolls have been discovered
by the deputy assessors recently at
work on this island, but they are not

increase which is the result of prosper.
Gus conditions.
The gross assessment value of prop
erty in the Islands in 1910 was $780,
000,000 said the treasurer yesterday.
Gin the year following it was 1854
100000. This year 1 think it will be
about $1SO,000,000. The increase, of
course, will add a good deal to the in
come of the Territory and the counties.
''As for the reasons for the increase
in the assessments, it might be said
that the sugar income of the Islands
is about $50,000,000 n year. On this
showing the total assessed value of the
property of the Islands is only about
three times the value of the annual
income of the principal product of the
Islands.
Increase in Value.
"Great areas of land hitherto used
for grazing purposes have been planted
since former assessments were made in
pineapples, tobacco and sugar. The
general development of the Territory,
especially in Honolulu, has been great.
Advanced prices for downtown proper
ty show an actual increase in values.
"For example, the property at Fort
and King streets occupied by the Cham
bers Drug Company, sold for $4,000,
and the Park Theater property brought
100000. Under the laws of the Terri
tory, property is supposed to be as
sessed at its full value. i believe that
in many cases property here is assessed
for more than it ought to be, but that
in a great many more it is assessed for
less than it ought to be.
'The net increase in valuations as
shown by comparison of stock quota
tions is about twenty-five per cent. OF
course, this is in part fictitious value,
being somewhat speculative, but we are
bound to take it into consideration in
| considering valuation of enterprises for
profit
Remarkable Assessments
"On this island the assessor and dep.
uties have spent some time, on the other
side. They have found tremendous
increase in the area of land under cul.
tivation. In several instances they
found land assessed at only one-third
of the sum it was bringing in to its
owner per year, for rent. This, OF
course, is obviously far from the right
thing.

island will be about eight million dol

THOMSON, Ga, OCTOBER 81, 1912.
AS tO Woodrow Wilson and the
knights of Columbus.

4 BOUT twelve years ago the Roman
Catholics of this country began to
organize secret society which they named
after the alleged discoverer Of this Continent.
The object of the organization is un-Ameri-
can, un-Democratic and disloyal
They subscribed to oaths which an im1ni-
grant, desiring to become naturalized, would
have to renounce, as a condition precedent to
becoming a citizen.
The oath Of the fourth degree knights
amounts to incipient treason; no true Ameri-
can citizen can take it; no man who sub
scribes to it ought to be allowed to hold
office. serve on juries or to vote.
The fourth degree Knights constitute a
papal militia, described as such in their
newspapers and in their public harangues
Those traitors are drilled, and armed with
the best up-to-date rifles and swords
Last year they held monster parades in
Washington and Baltimore, and everybody
but the Romanists themselves were aston
ished by the number and equipment of those
soldiers of the pope.
Nowhere else in the world does there exist
a papal militia.
The pope has a handful of soldiers in his
great palace of the Vatican, but these soldiers
do not even parade the streets of Rome
Such reasonable order as the Knights
of Columbus would not be tolerated in Great
Britain, France or Germany
They have their own literature, their sep
arate revenue, and will of course grow more
powerful and wealthy, year by year.
In fourteen States they have already had
one day of the year given over to them
selves and to the glorifcation of the Roman
Catholic Church.
They have done this so slylyc that the
Protestants hardly noticed it.
Even in Alabama they secured the passage

IL Gnoy succeed With their plans, the mails
will be closed to all books, magazines and
newspapers which attack their system and
faith.
For all Of the foregoing reasons consider
the knights of Columbus an organization
wRfch is in deadly antagonism to those lib
critics which caused our forefathers so much
treasure, toll and bloodshed.
Whoever countenances that reasonable
organization, wears its badge, and makes
speeches approving it's purposes, is guilty,
Willingly or unwittingly of an act Of dis
loyalty.
Woodrow Wilson is the Governor of one
of our States.
He is seeking to become the President Of
all the States
Therefore, when he sets bad example, the
influence of it is far greater than a similar
deed done by a private citizen.
When he retains Joseph Tumulty, the
Jesuit private secretary, after having caused
it to be published that he had dismissed the
man, the giving of public countenance and
approval to the Knights of Columbus is all
the more significant
What is it that Governor Wilson, the
standard bearer of the National Democratic
Party did for the Knights of Columbus?
The New York Times, an ardent supporter
Of Woodrow Wilson, stated on it's front page,
first column, in letters quarter of an inch
long, "Woodrow Wilson Joined Knights of
Columbus"
This statement appeared on the morning of
October 18th, following the banquet of the
night before
No correction was made by Wilson or the
Times, until few days ago after they real
lied how it was hurting them in the South.
In fact, the Times virtually repeated its
statement, by explaining that Wilson had not
been initiated In any of the degrees, but had
merely been made an honorary member
Having made this correction, they let mat
ters remain in that state until after had
begun to make use of the incident.
What deepens the mystersy is: that
Roman Catholic paper, in Washington D. c.,
published the same assertion as to Wilson
and Congressman Sulzer having become hon
orary members of the Knights of Columbus
The name of the Roman Catholic paper is
"I'he BWZ1etin," and it published the state
ment on October DIST.
Facts which are undenied are, that Wilson
was an invited guest at the banquet, wore the
badge of membership during the banquet,
wore it while making his speech, and spoke
approvingly of the Knights of Columbus
If that does not ally him with them, and
give to them the backing Of his popularity
and his political influence as a Democratic
candidate for the highest office in America,
I don't know how he would start about
doing it.
That is exactly what they invited him
there for, and he gave them just what they
wanted:
The pope ought not to be allowed to have
standing army in this country.

army of the Federal Government, five to one.

Why Was the Democratic Or
qanizatiOn Worth Half a Mill
lion Dollars To- L. F. Ryan?

IiOn Dollars To- T. F. Ryan?
| T was an open secret that T. f. Ryan and
August Belmont purchased the nomina-
ton for Judge Parker in 1904
The open and shameless manner In which
Southern editors and party hacks went to-
Belmont's office on Wall Street, and came
away with bullying pockets enthusiasm for
Judge Parker, and statements about South
ern enthusiasm for Parker, can never be for
gotten.
The Hudson river jurist had never been
heard of in the South, until he came among
us, piloted by Hamp McWhorter, attorney
and lobbyist for Belmont's railroad.
1t now transpireS that Ryans personal
contribution toward Judge Parker's nomina-
ton, was 100000. How m1ch it cost Mr..
Belmont has not yet been disclosed
Revelations were coming so rapidly and so
startlingly that the Senatorial Committee
hurriedly adjourned the investigation until
after the election.
To the amazement of the whole country,
Mr.. Ryan testified that he contributed $780,
600 to preserve the Democratic organization,
after it was quite apparent to him that Judge
Parker could not be elected.
The Democratic newspapers have been
paying Mr.. Ryan high tribute because of his
patriotism and generosity in contributing
such large sum for the sole purpose of pre-
serving the organization of the National
Democratic party.
But regard the testimony of Mr. Ryan
as one of the severest blows that has ever
been dealt the Democratic Party.
Rightly considered it should create feel
ing of profound distrust and dissatisfaction.
The man who organized the Tobacco Trust,
the Rubber Trust and the Metropolitan Trac-
ton Trust, is not the man to waste money on
patriotism and sentimentalty.
The man who, acting IN one capacity, sold
to himself, acting in another capacity, rail-
road which had no existence whatever and
who then had to disgorge the money when
about to be prosecuted for the steal is not
the man to invest $4,000 of his money
without expecting to get something in
return
A Democratic Congress passed, and
Democratic President approved, the law
under which Thomas F. Ryan organized the
Tobacco Trust, sent the price of unmanufac-
tured tobacco down to a starvation point,
causing night-riding, arson and murder.
1t is the same ! homas F. Ryan who took
such mean advantage of John Shelton Will
Hams and scooped the Seaboard Air Line
Railway.
It is the same Thomas F. Ryan who needed
all of the protection which District Attorney
Jerome could give him to prevent the New
York grand jury from indicting him for
some of his Traction Trust rascahty.
1t is the same Thomas f. Ryan that helped
to rob old Jake Sharp Of the street car fran
chise which Jacob had bought from the New
York Legislature.
1t is the same Thomas F. Ryan who
financed William J. Bryan so literally in
1908, and whose money Bryan said he would
return, but which he has not returned
