Home rulers TO
DROP motley

Home Rule leaders are making out
their slate for the coming election,
and, If everything goes well, which is
likely, there will be some interesting
material lined up for the COngrcssion-
al, legislative and county tickets.
According to the present plans, VIM
White, otherwise known as "Oily Bill"
will be a candidate for Delegate to
Congress, taking the place of Chas.
K Motley, who has been defeated ut
the polls as many times as he has
been nominated for the Office. Not
ley will run for the Senate, and D..
Kalauokalani Sr., vice president of
the party, will run for Mayor of Ilo-
nolulu.
The lineup is interesting, because
the Home Rulers believe that "Oily
Bill" will surely beat Link McCand-
less and Prince Kalanianaole.
bill is all right, because he is
smooth enough to make things slip
perry for Kalanianaole and Link said
an aged Home Rule leader today,
"Kalauokalani would certainly make a
dignfied Mayor for Honolulu
Motley, according to the latest re-
port, has signed the Republican roll
on Hawaii with view to running for
the Senate. This news could not be
verified and the Home Rulers do not
believe the report.

FREAR NOT ON
FINANCIAL TRIP

Governor Frcar intimated today
that he will make no active effort to
personally float the next bond issue
in the States. He said he would
spend some time in New York and
Washington investigating the market
conditions and the legal phase of the
matter, and that If he finds the time
propitious will advise Territorial
Treasurer Conkling to go East and
attend to the notaticn.
The bond issue will be similar to
the last one, he said. and that issue
was for about $1,5OO,OOO. Practically
all the funds from the last one have
been used in appropriations, though
all the appropriations have not been
taken up as yet.

HOUSTON FIRE LOSS
OVER SIX MILLIONS
Insurance Payments Will Be Only
Three Millions.

Houston, Tex, Feb. 23.-The total
loss in Houston's great are was &c.
5000, with total insurance OF
$4,000, 900. These figures were TAX
en- from nearly complete compila-
tons yesterday OF local insurance
men. Salvage from the burned dis
trict IL counted on to reduce the
actual insurance payments to near
lyss.000,000.
The $4,000 bales Of cotton, repre-
senting about $2.000,000. still smok-
ed today in the burned area. Cotton
men assert considerable amount OF
good staple might be salvaged from
the interior of the partly burned
bales Firemen poured water into
smoldering ruins of the burned area
ali night, but this morning smoke
and flames still sputtered from de-
bris.
In the ruins of small packing
house a great quantity of hams siz-
zled and fried. Crowds of negroes
who detected the aroma Of the fry
ing ham from afar off, hurried to as
sist in it's salvage.
The infant child of Charles Fav-
or, who was rescued through his
mothers daring, will live, physicians

from guards and rescued the infant

"TAX DODGERS"

Several weeks ago the city coun-
ell of Marshalltown took some sort
of action In regard to the assessed
valuation of the Times-Republican
of that city. What merit, If any,
there is in the contention of the
council that the Times-RepubEican
is not paying its just proportion Of
taxes the Freeman-Tribune doesn't
know. The city council of Marshall
town is sore at the Times Republic
can, just as the city council Of Web
ster City is sore at the Freeman
Tribune, and for the identical rea-
son. The Times-Republican made
a hard fight for popular paving in
Marshalltown, the kind the people
want, and for that action the coun-
ell has not forgiven it. Councils, as
a rule, want to give paving con-
tracts to some contractor for patent
ed or monopolized materials and the
paper that fights such a proceeding
is at once put upon the councils
black list. This much to indicate
the animus back of the Marshall
town councils proceedings against
the Times Republican.
However, nearly every corpora
ton paper in the state, led by the
Des Moines Capital, jumped upon
the Marshalltown paper and tried
to stamp it into the ground. They
didn't care anything about the mer-
its Of the claim of the Marshalltown
council. All they cared about was
to get back" at paper that had
the courage to fight for the people,
hence they assumed, taking the cue
from the Des Moines Capital, that
the Marshalltown paper had been
guilty Of something terrible. In

OF COURSE HE DID RIGHT.

A dispatch from Portland, Maine
of recent date speaks of the chloro.
forming of man doomed by fire, by
a physician who was called to help
care for the injured in a wreck. Two
freight trains of the Grand Trunk
railroad at North Yarmouth, collid-
ed and many were the dead and In
jured Arthur Corliss a fireman was
pinioned beneath the wreckage OF
freight cars and despite two hours
effort to rescue him was still far
from being saved. The wreckage
was on fire and the flames were
slowly and surely eating their way
to him. Corliss pleaded for an hour
and a half for a physician to give
something to put him out OF his
agony.
After all efforts to remove the
heavy timbers from the mans body
had failed, DR.. Edgar E. Barker OF
Portland, crawled through a tunnel
of grain and wreckage to Corliss'
side and passed him a handkerchief
saturated with chloroform. By that
time flames were tapping the lower
part of Corliss' body.
Some Of the high-brows have rails
ed the question: "Did DR.. Barker do
right?" The Freeman-Tribune Is of
the opinion that he did. The doctor
prevented the perishing of the man
in untold agony, and his conduct
should not only not be questioned,
but it should be commended. A sem
timent that would permit a man to
burn to death by slow process, when
the means are at hand to relieve
the needless suffering, is hardly
grounded in common sense.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-02-27

matters of that kind the accused
ought to be given some considera-
ton. There is always two sides to
a story, hence there may be two
sides to the taxation story of the
Des Moines Capital. The Freeman
Tribune is going to give one side.
The Capital can give the other.
It is generally conceded among
newspaper men and printers that
the Des Moines Capital is the most
valuable newspaper property in the
state. 1t boasts of circulation of
10000 per day and not long ago
put in a newspaper press valued at,
as the Freeman-Tribune remembers,
though we are not sure, $4,000,
with capacity of 10000 complete
papers per hour. 1t is doubtful If
the Capital could be bought for
100000. 1t is claimed that it pays
twelve per cent to the publisher on
that valuation.
Now, dear reader, what do you
suppose the assessed valuation Of
the Capital is? This property that
is worth half a million of dollars
and that is making a profit of more
than $1,000 per week? Why, it is
assessed at Just $11,500, which is
the Identical amount of the assess
ment of the Tribune Pub
fishing Company.
