LEARNING SUGAR TARIFF FACTS

The San Francisco Chronicles argument
against free sugar is pretty good reading, and
moreover, it gives the tariffrevisers at Washing
ton a new view of the situation.
The Chronicles point of view would be the
point of view of many millions of the American
people were the situation fairly placed before
them. But Underwood and the other leading
tariff assaiants are not giving both sides of the
sugar question. Even Representative Hardwick,
chairman of the committee that made the thor
ough investigation of the sugar trust and kindred
topics, seems entirely to have disregarded what
the friends of duty on sugar testified before the
committee. No one, reading over the Hardwick
report, can fail to see with what expectancy the
sugar trust is waiting for the sugar producers of
the United States to be put in their power
Furthermore, it is indeed difficult to see how
President Wilson can reconcile his ideas on
free sugar with his repeated, emphatic and i'm
qualified declarations that in the course of his
general tariff revision program no legitimate in
dustry would be injured.

WRIT APPROVES Plan To MAKE
STUDYOF COMPENSATION MEASURE

relief out of the fund sfany obiec-
tons have been raised to this system,
and especially loud We're they when
the part of the bill reciting the per-
centage of contributions from differ
emit classes of enterprises was reached.
This was the last stumbling block in
the course of the measure, and it was
when this point was reached that the
motion prevailed to have a hold-over
committee appointed.
A new act has been cautiously aa-
yanced but never presented to the SEN
ate. By 1t the judges Of the clrc,.,t
court would be made ex-offlcio COM
missioners to hear such accident
cases. An employee would be permit
tee to file with the judge as commits
sioner a sworn statement setting
forth the nature of his employment,
the nature of the accident, the amount
of his wages, when the accident &C.
Cured, etc. In short, he would set out
the facts necessary for a clear under
standing of the case. The judge would
linen issue an order, directing the en-
ployer to appear in chambers at GER

t1nue paying the injured workman his
wages until further notice. At the
time appointed the employer could
appear either in person or by attorney,
and present any defense, based on
facts, he might have. The employee
could also appear, though not required
to. The commissioner makes his or
der, which would be appealable only
IL cases of gross abuse OF discretion. "
Such an act would require the repeal
Eof the contributory negligence, fellow
servant rule and the assumption Of
risk statutes.
Pressure was brought upon the SEN
ate to simply repeal tie above three
principal defenses in place OF passing
a compensation act. It may be re-
gretted by many that they were not
repealed, irrespective of the passage
OF the bill, as their time of usefulness
has expired. They crept into juris-
prudence when the common law was
in it's heyday, and have managed to
hang on like a leach until the present
decade.

NO POLITICS In
NAMING WATSON
CLUB HEAD

Supporters of L. L. McCandless and
Gilbert J. Waller for the governorship
pricked up their ears last week at the
report that the election of e. M. Wat
son as president of the Southern Club
of Hawaii had been cabled to Wash
ington as an Endorsement of WatsoR's
claims to the governorship.
! Southerners who were present al
the meeting also prieked up their
ears, for it had been distinctly under
stood by those present that the club

sentiments Of any kind and that ac-
ton in electing Watson had no politt
cal significance. A report that the

prompted by the fact that Mr.. Nc
Candless was on the spot and the
president and Secretary Lane might
desire a consultation with him at any
time
Humphreys to the Front
The noise of all these activities
reached Mr.. Watson. He at once
cabled his friend and sponsor, Repre-
sentative Humphreys, of Mississippi,
inquiring if he should join the process
sion and some here. After seeing
Secretary Lane and ascertaining the
situation Mr. Humphreys wired Mr..
Watson that the race was still open
and he would be given hearing II
on the ground.
In the meantime, a batch of affida-
Wits came to Secretary Lane from Ha-
wall. These contained charges against
Mr.. McCandless The facts alleged in
them will be fully investigated before
any appointment is made. Mr.. Nc
Candless entered a denial and prom
ised to furnish proof that the state
ments made were inspired by his
political enemies and for the purpose
of preventing him from securing the
goyernorship. AS an offset, Mr.. Nc
Candless has caused number of his
friends to call at the interior depart
ment and speak good word in his
behalf.
While these events have been pro-
crossing several additional endorse
ments of Mr.. Watson were placed on
file. These were from prominent men
in the south and urged his selec-

GET EXPERT ADVICE ON The SCHOOLS

III -"
Representative Paxson and the other legisla-
tors who united in submitting the now-notorious
report on school conditions earnestly protest
that they are actuated by the best of motives,
that their work was done, their report drafted,
not as an attack on Superintendent Pope or Prin-
cipal Wood, but as a move to better the depart
ment of public instruction.
If this is the case and we are naturally in
clined to credit them with publicspirited mo-
tives they can hardly object to the proposal
that a commission be authorized by tie legisla-
ture to study the situation thoroughly and care
fully for two years and report at the session Of
1915.
Action now, based on the report of last week,
could not be called well-considered or thought
full. 1t is very evident that large energetic
and intelligent portion of the community dis
agrees absolutely with the committee and ex-
poets the legislature to keep its head and not up
set the school system of this territory solely be-
cause two representatives and one senatorial
of them serving their first session, too. have
come to the conclusion that something ought to
be done 1t is very evident that many citizens
just as wellinformed, just publc-spirited, just
as anxious to see the schools progress as are
these three members, firmly oppose the summary
removal of Mr.. Pope and the amalgamation of
the Normal School and the College of Hawaii.
The legislature is representing this portion of
the community just as much as any other por.
ton. The legislature has nothing to go on now
but half baked, one-sided, looselydrawn, anna
flourish document that confesses in several
places its own inconclusiveness
The Star-Bulletin believes that commission
may we'll be appointed to 60 into school condi-
tions thoroughly, without fear and without fa-
vor. We believe that the territory also should
have the benefit of investigation by an educa-
tional expert identified with none of the present
busy factions here If Hawaii wishes, the terri.
tory can secure the services of a recognized ex-
pert detailed from the national bureau of edu,
cation in the department of the interior. If the
matter is properly presented to DIR. p. p. Clax-
ton, commissioner of the national bureau,
through Secretary Lane he will detail an expert
educator to come here and Hawaii may have his
services for the paying of his expenses.
An expert, a man of standing and impartial
ity, together with commission representing
every island in the territory not necessarily
schoolmen, either; in fact, substantial proper
tion should not be identified with school work
such a man and such commission could make
an investigation of real and lasting value.
And, if the members of the legislature who
signed that report last week are consistent and
sincere they cannot object to the commission
plan. #...:...

CONCERT VAS A RARE
TREAT TO MUSIC LOVERS.

The music lovers in Chickasha were
given real treat last night at the
Sugg theater, in the joint recital by
Enrico Palmetto, Danish tenor, and
Martin Bruhl, American pianist,
given under the auspices Of the Mac
Dowell club OF Chickasha. Though
the weather was far from inviting, a
fair sized crowd welcomed the artists.
Both succeeded in pleasing the audi
ence to an unusual degree and their
wormth and spirit were the qualities
that appealed to the audience.
Palmettos tones were splendid and
clear and his rendition OF Sing Me TO
Sleep" in English, enlisted as great
an amount of applause as did his other
more difficult numbers. He is an art
list of rare ability.
Mr.. Bruhl is one of the best pianists
ever heard in Chickasha and would be
welcome here gain His clean tech
nique, the fine singing tone he pro
duced from the instrument and his
wonderful Interpretation of the selee
tions, were features to be admired II
his work. Both artists were compelled
to respond to encores.

'PAPPY' NASH 73
YEARS YOUNG

Friends Of J. O. (Pappy) Nash, the
genial host at the Early hotel-and
everybody is his friend-have only one
consuming regret aud that is the fact
that he doesn't have two or three birth
days a year. However, "Pappy9 says
he doesn't want them to come any
oftener because, he explains, 1T would
make me grow old too fast" but mis-
friends have no fear that he will ever
grow old.
Sunday, November %. was 'Pappy's
7Srd birthday and according TO her Gus
tom for a number Of years, Mrs. Nash
invited a lumber of his friends to cele-
brate the occasion with him, serving
sumptuous dinner at the noon hour.
4Pappy' said he tried to select the
"ornriest' fellows in town to compose
the company The table was pretty
decorated and the menu was the kind
for which Mrs. Nash is famous, includ-
ing everything that the appetite OF
mere man could desire. In former
years "Pappy'ss friends have been ae-
customed to present him some token

in emphatic language. declaring that
anybody attempting to give him any
thing would be thrown out and his

she still has chance Of recovery, she

story was circulated on the streets
of Chickasha yesterday evening to the
effect that when the operation was
performed in Lawton Saturday night.
the physicians extracted 40 or 50 pins
from the sick womans stomach, which,
according to the story, she had pre-
sumably swallowed in an eldeavor to
commit suitcide. The Grady county
officials stoutly denied this story and
declare that it is without foundation.
1T is the greatest piece of nonsense
ever heard" said Oscar Simpson, coun-
ty attorney, this morning. Il cannot
imagine where such an unfounded tale
came from. The operation was very
serious one and was necessary owing
to certain abcesses which had formed
in her abdomen. The statement, wher.
ever it might have originated, that a
number of pins were taken from Mrs.
Woodwards stomach, is absolutely
false"
When asked as to the probable date
Of the fremont trial, Nj. Simpson
said, 1T will probably be as soon as
Mrs. Woodward is able to testify.
