THOUGHTS ON STRIKES
BY John Hind of KohaIa in English Pager.

q 1t seems to me the British work
man is a chump, and the employer
considerable of a fool-the workman
by being so easily led into strikes by
agitators, and the employer in not
showing clearly his desire to be abso-
lutely fair, and at the same time a
determination to manage his own
business. These strikes and upheay-
ais can only result in irreparable loss
to the country, and in the end leave
the workmen worse off even than ne
is now.
The Workman's Theory
The whole theory of the workman
is wrong His sole aim is higher
wages and shorter hours and he be-
lieves the agitator is doing his SUI
preme duty only when he is stirring
up hatred between capital and labor.
If they would reason the thing out,
they would appreciate it to be more
to their advantage to encourage CAPT
tai somewhat, for the greater the in
vestment Of capital the greater the
demand for labor. ! do not mean that
labor should accept whatever wages
the employer is disposed to offer,
but more intelligent means can be
devised to find the proper balance
than killing the goose that lays the
golden egg Present methods cause
unrest and so scare capital out Of
business, and eventually out of the
country, the demand for labor is re-
duced, and there is a corresponding
increase in the army of unemployed.
II is an undisputed fact that, vita
every rise in wages, there is more
than corresponding rise in the cost
/ of living, which makes the lot of the
unemployed still harder When
Great Britain reaches the point where
| it cannot manufacture as cheaply as
its neighbors, it will then become a
/ back number.
The only cry of the agitator Is
higher wagesi and less hours" bat
he never suggests that the workman
should strive to be more worthy OF
his hire by diligence and honesty dur
ing work hours and thus enttle him
to and enable his employer to pay
better wage, and at the same time
enable the country to produce more
for the rest of the world than it Is
now doing
If Great Britain cannot build ships
for instance, in competition will
other countries, all the strike

SPANISH CABINET GIVES UP
OFFICE ON ACCOUNT Of MISTAKE

MADRID, January 14-The Spanish
cabinet of which Jose Canalejas was
premier, resigned today.
The cabinet resigned as the result
of a divergence of views with King
Alfonso as to the ACCESSIBILITY of com
muting the death sentence of one of
the rioters who murdered a Judge and
who wounded several court officers in
the town of Cullera, province of Va
lencia, last September
The general strike at that time in
Valencia and other provinces involved
a plot to assassinate General Weyler
and the King was compelled to sus-
pend the constitutional guarantees.
The trial of the strikers concerned in
the Cullera murder has engrossed
public attention to the exclusion of
all else for some time, thanks to the
skilful campaign of the Radicals, who
seized upon the affair as a weapon to
attack the government in the same
way that they utilized the refusal to
reprieve Francisco Ferrer, director Of
the modern school, who was executed
in 1909 to bring about the downfall
of the Maura cabinet
Realizing that it was a sordid
crime and that the accused men were
impossible objects of sympathy, the
Radicals raised false issue, accus-
ing the government of all sorts Of
tortures and cruelties toward the pris-
oners. The agitation spread with
great rapidity and caused grave CON
Germ to Premier Canalejas.
All Seven Condemned.
The rioters were tried first before
a military court last month, and six
of them were sentenced to death. The
case then went to the Supreme Coun-
Gil of War and Marine for revision,
and the council condemned all seven
prisoners to death. Petitions in favor
of a reprieve have flowed in ever
since the first trial, and it was evil
dent that the nation strongly desired
that the men should not suffer the
death penalty.
Premier Canalejas advised the King
to exercise his prerogative in the case
of six of the prisoners, but held that
the seventh, Chato Chuqueta, should

drew Carnegie, pressed hard today by
members of the House Committee
inquiring into the United States Steel
Corporation, admitted that he recon-
mended the appointment of ,Philander
c. Knox, the present Secretary of
State, as AttOrney-General in McKin-
ley's Cabinet in 1901, Knox having
been one of the general councillors for
the Carnegie Steel Company after
1890, when the Sherman antitrust law
was passed
Carnegie repeatedly had declared
before the committee that he never
knew that the participation of his
company in the steel plate pool and
other like pools was unlawful, and
Representative McGillicuddy of Maine
sought to show that he had recon-
mended to President Mckinley the APP
pointment of Knox after the latter, as
counsel for his company, had left him
in ignorance of the Government stat
utes so many years.
Carnegie also told the committee
that he believed no protective tariff
was necessary on steel rails or steel
products, with the exception of nee
dies, which are not manufactured in
this country, He asserted that Con
gress need have no fear that foreign
rails would flood the United States if
the tariff was removed.

Throughout the rural portions of Ha-
for library facilities more general
than those existing at the present
time. AS in rural regions the world
over, books are scarce. The people
in the country should have accessible
and reliable information concerning
the things of their daily environment.
The travelling libraries have been
established to partially meet this need
of the rural communities of Hawaii.
The College of Hawaii, in cooperation
with the Department of Public In
struction, conducts these libraies on
the four islands-Oahu, Hawaii, Maui
and Kauai. A circuit may later be es-
tablished on Molokai.
Each library consists of about TWEEN
;ty-five books dealing mainly with agri-
cultural and related subjects. The
books are modern, simple, non-tech-
meal and authoritative. The College
provides the books and the boxes for
their transportation, and oversees the
forwarding of the libraries from school
to school. The Department of Public In
struction pays transportation charges,
and is responsible, through its prin'
cipals, for the books while they are
in the schools.
There is no expense of any kind, so
far as the school or principal is con
cerned, connected with the use OF
these libraries. They are sent in good
faith to the schools on the circuits
on the principals guarantee that the
library will be properly cared for ano
promptly forwarded.
The library will remain at eacl
school on a circuit for period OF one
calendar month, at the expiration o
which time the principal will pack an'
forward the library to the school mex
on the circuit There are but few
duplicates in the islands. Additional
libraries will be interpolated as tn
demand justifies.
The libraries will be sent only I

The services of the city police de.
partment were called into the case and
detectives Bert Wren and Frank Nc.
Grayan were assigned to the case.
They began systematic search of all
the taXicabs which were at the wharf
to meet the steamer and they also in
vestigated the several clews that we're
given by the owner Of the jewels as
to where she had possession of them
last and who had charge of the bag
containing the gems before she left
the dock in the taxi Up to a late
hour last night nothing had been
found concernipg the lost Jewels.
Mrs. Winston when seen at the St.
Francis Hotel yesterday, refused to
discuss the affair, saying that the
jewels in the bag which she had lost
did not amount to anything and that
she did not desire to make any state
ment concerning their loss The DO
lice department state the the iewelry
was valuable, but stated that Mrs.
Winston had not placed a value
upon it,
From sources at the St Francis Ho-
tel it was learned that in the bag
were several necklaces and several
rings and bracelets Three gold
chains, heirlooms Of the Bradbury
family, are also said to be among the
missing iewelry. 1t was stated that
the value of the jewelry and other ar.
ticles lost was in the neighborhood OF
$4,000.
Mrs. Winston will visit friends in
San Francisco today, and if the POI
lice are not able TO locate the missing
jewel bag she will depart to Los An
geles tomorrow morning.

CLARKE AS JONES
WILL Be HIMSELF

When Harry Corson Clarke and his
comedy company open at the Hawai-
ian Opera House tonight, they will
present Mr.. Clarke's great success of
former days, What Happened to
Jones'"
When a play has made the success
of two continents and the fortune of
no less than three of the people most
concerned in its production, there is.
little that need be said by way of
recommendation. Inc main point Of
interest is that in the piece Mr.. Clarke
will be seen in his original part of
Jones the drummer, who dons &C.
clesiastical garb and poses as the
Bishop of Ballarat. The play is one
that teens with comedy possibilities
and as it is staged by the Clarke COM
pany it loses none of its power as
laughmaker.
There were a number of reasons
why the comedian decided on this
clever farce as his opening bill. One
of which Yves that the part of Jones"
permits of Mr.. Clarke's appearance as
himself. In other words it is the only
part in his repertoire in which he does
not disguise himself under wigs and
other makeup And the comedian de-
cided that after an absence of four
teen years, it would be a good idea
to make his first appearance as him
self.

be made an example of in the inter
ests of law and order
The agitation by this. time had
reached formidable proportions, the
Barcelona Radicals issing a decree
calling for a general strike if Chu-
quota was executed on Monday, the
date fixed for his death. The pre-
mier, in his own words, then realized
that the exclusion of Chuqueta from a
reprieve was a political blunder, and,
learning that the King was of the
same opinion, he went with his col
leagues to the palace, where the King
declared that he favored a reprieve
for Chuqueta.
Ministry Made Mistake.
Premier Canaleias said he deferred
to his majestys Judgment and would
prepare a decree to that effect with
out delay, but considering as he did
that the ministry had made a mistake,
it was his duty to hand in his resig-
nation. King Alfonso urged him TO
reconsider his determination, but he
remained firm.
The ministerial crisis at the mo-
ment of the Franco-Spanish negotia-
lions on Morocco is of exceptional
gravity and the King has lost no time
in consulting with leading statesmen
He conferred in turn with General
Montero Rios, president of the Cortes;
former Premier Merely Prendergast
and former Premier Maura, each of
whom agreed that the Liberals should
remain in power They urged the
King to try to prevail upon Senior
Canalejas to return.
The reprieve of Chuqueta has had
an excellent effect throughout the
country which yesterday was aroused
when it was learned that the King
and his ministry had failed to reach
an agreement on that question.
The King received Senior Canaleias
tonight and again asked him to re.
sumo the premiership, assuring him
of continued confidence. Senior Canal
eias asked for time to reflect, promiS-
ing to give his reply tomorrow.
One leaving the palace, Senior Ca
nalejas declared that if he decided to
accept the Office he would retain the
same ministers.
