Old Time Books Destroyed.

The investigation of Kcaloha's graft
has occupied several weeks and has
brought out much important informa-
iion as to Hawaii county methods of
government. II has been discovered
that all the old "time books" kept un.
der the old administration have some
how been destroyed, with the exception
of one, which was preserved by a man
who had worked a short while rs luna.
This one, however, is a sample of what
the others might be, for almost every
entry is a discrepancy with the pay
roll which was passed to cover it.
This time book has been supplement.
ed by several afidavits. The evidence,
placed together, indicates that men
were credited with having worked more
DAYS than the time book showed; in
other words, that the payroll called for
more money than has been earned ac.
cording to the time book kept by the
luna who had direct charge of the men.
One incident is sufficient One of the
workmen whose name appeared on the
book was examined and testified that
he had $3.50 coming to him for a Ger.
tain period. This was confirmed by
the time book. The payroll, however,
showed he had been allotted 81. lie
did not know what the payroll said, but
stated that after Koaloha had deduct
ed four dollars for a "luau' he (thc
workman) had received only $3.50.
Mcguire Was Suspicious.
Charles Mcguire has told Field that
he suspected that some Of the road
money was being misapplicd. Later on
Mcguire made the same statement "a
Brcckous Mcguire said that he had
seen Kcaloha 20 to the bank 10 get his

TURTLES AND TUBERCULOSIS.

4 Seattle ductOr--One DamO,lr- cite, and if we mistake not at one time a resident of NaldeZ--has come forward to declare that he discovered a tuberculosis cure six years ago--the same cure. he ayers, that was announced with confident gusto out of the mouth of a German physician some days ago.
 This Seattle man tells how, on a northern trip, he was ship wrecked. Tuberculosis of the throat resulted from exposure in the water. He went south and there the longevity of the dila- tory turtle impressed him. He says he made serum from the intestincs of the turtle, discov- cring glycobacterium, OF the ba- cillus of long life, and this he took. with the resultant routing of tuberculosis. He says he gave it to others with similar good re- suits.
 The whale, which also lives to ripe old age, comments itself to the consideration of science, and the lnwly toad which, even imbedded in the solid rock, SO chroniclcrs have writ it, lives on and on undisturbcd by dietary problems OF the passing of the years. Even a stew made of our plentiful crop of ravens would help some. But while we are about it, why not go in for a ba- cillus that defcrs death forever? Let's find the bacillus that gives eternal life to the mot thrr-in law joke.

CONSERVATION WHERE NEED-
 ED.

The government will make an attempt at, reducing infant nler- tality in the United States. The death rate among the babies of this country is higher than in most places--a condition that should not exist and is not cred itable to us. The children's bu- reau of the Department of Com merce and Labor is about to in augurate a housc-to-house in- yestigation. Information will be gathered in every city and dis trict and compiled and studied in an effort at determining what IS the reason for the poor showing we make. Government statistics prove that in 1910 192 of every 1000 infants died before reach ing the age of one year. In oth- CT words, nineteen in every 100, or nearly one of every five ba- bies born in this country failed to live a year.
 The average in Great Britain is i47 deaths for each 1000 births, less than fifteen per cent, or about one in seven. The rec ord in Great Britain in 1907, an unusually cool and rainy season, was less than one death in eight births. And statistics do not show that the death rate in London was not much in excess of that in oth- CT parts of the country, indicat- ing the fallacy of the old notion that great centers of population are exceptionally unhealthy. There is no reason that is ap- parent why the infant mortality in New York, Chicago or St. Paul should be greater than in London, or why the record in this coun- try should exceed that of Great Britain. We should find out what is wrong and set about making improvement.

The em- ployer Is merely looked upon us 2 stepping stone to the ultimate end of wisdom In order that the student may carry his knowledge back to the fatherland or lenrn some trade secret to impart to manufacturers In his own country.
 AS for the misguided women wh" make friends and compn nions of these orientals, who give their time to teaching them and going about with them, too much cannot be said in con- demnat tion of the practice.
 It is bad enough having them about spying out our land and taking work that should be done by our own peo- pic. but W is a thousand times worse having them mingle with our women whom they do not respect and some of whom they lead far away from tho paths that m American woman should travel.
 One cannot blame the workmen of America for objecting to the influx of Asiatics into the western states and their absorbsion of 20 much of the labor that should be done by Ameri- cans. but there Is q still graver mat ter that would benefit by the excIu sion of these people and that is the protection of our women.

Joseph H. choate. former America'

Joseph H. Choate, former American ambassador to the Court of St James, ip a speech delivered at a banquet in New York struck the key note that should be followed by every American man, woman and child in the next few months. MT. Choate realizes that war seems inevitable between this country and Mexico. and he asks that all true Americans stand by the president Of the United States through thick and thin if the dread resort to arms comes.
 The president of these United States has been forced by influences over which he had no control into po- sition where 1t seems that a declara- ton of war is the only thing left to save the honor and dignity of the nation which he heads. Mir. Wilson did not want war. he does not want war now and if there is any possible way out of it with honor he win not have war.
 There may be some alleged patriots in the country who would sit quietly by and sec the nation mocked and scoffed at and degraded but Mir. Will son is not that kind of a white hearted citizen.
 He does not want war with Mex leo or anyone else. He has exerted every energy to prevent a war and if 1t comes 1t will be because the pre- sident could not prevent it by any means in his power other than by making the name of hls country n mock before the world.
 There are unfortunately some peo- pie who call themselves Americans who would rather see the country de- graded to the last depth of the mire of infamy than to contemplate the use of armed force in the preserving Of the national honor. It is sometimes hard to see just why some of these people prefer the scorn of the world to the manlier attitude of armed re- slstance to insult. Certainly 1t can not be that 1t is because these meek ones fear and personal injury tc themselves. The ones who decry war as . means of preserving the national honor when all elso fails arc not oi the 0ort that would set themselves into danger in tho forefront of hat tie.
 Hut there is no fear of the people q the United States standing by Pre- si6ent Wilson. Whatever . man's politics or lack of politics. whatever his convictions as to right or wron1 of ths policiss so far carried out fl the nsgptiations with Mexico. hs | noe IT Aassiean who when tps coun.

 The little man. the useless atom of society whose prejudicss are 70 nar- row and whose viewpoint is 90 re- stricted that he cannot see beyond his own futii conception of great national events and policies which he cam not understand, may decry c war fought for the sake of the national honor. If he does his puney wall will be like the cry of . baby chick at a prize rooster show and none but his own kind of white livered microbes will hear his sickiy croaking.
 E,erv man with red blood in his veins will stand by the president of the United States and will feel with him and for him in this hour of trial. If war comes MT. Wilson will have the united support of all Americans Of whatever political faith.
 If. as does not now seem probable. the president 10 able to 50 fashion the events of the next few weeks so as to avoid resort to arms. and at the same time maintain the national honor. tt Is still the province of the true American to stand by him through the thick and thin of the di- plomatic events that must transpire before the questions that at present ~c are facing are settled.
 MT. Wilson sees the importance of upholding the national dignity and he will undoubtedly act as wise and patriotic man should. If he has striven overly long to arrange things 1t may be because of his abhorance of war. It is moro likely because of the fact that for long time he was ham pered by the policies Of others which circumstances forced him to listen to. Policies that might have been good fin theory but which have failed ut- teriy in practice. This Mir. Wilson can see as plainly as anyone who will not look through the glass of preju- dice can see and Mir. Wilson will have no moro of them.
 Whatever the outcome of the pro. sent very serious condition of af- fairs. whether Mir. Wilson can win through and still keep the peace of the country. or whether he is forced into war. the words of MT. Choate spoken yesterday in New York should be car- ried in the heart of every American. stand by the president through thick and thin"

The NUGGET printed yesterday the story of an Indian boy educated by the white man at some expense to the government who has now gone back to the gods of his fathers and is leading his misguided peopic in a war against the whites.
 It Is not the purpose of this edi- torial to discuss the wisdom of edu- eating the Indians. They are our charges and we must do what we can for them and one of the most civilis- ing agents In the world is education. In this particular instance the edu- cated one through disappointment or pique or just pure cussedness has re- vcrted to savagcry and there may De nniny more instances of the same kind. But in some the education will stick and for the sake of the few who are benefited the money and the effort are worth while Besides. as we have said. the Indians belong to us.
 There is another race of people. however. who are being educated in one way or another In thts country who nrc not our charges. Not only that hut they are at heart our enc mics.
 Some of these people come to us and study at our universities. Some Of them work at our trades. some enter the employ of private families and some are taught by lot of foolish women who. might better be putting in their time raising perfectly good famiiie. # American boys. But no matter what the agency through which the education is obtained thcsc quiet. observant. treacherons little people invade our schools. our trades, our farms and our homes and none of these Is in the least benefitsa by the advent of the crafty ingrafes who come for the mere purpose or exploiting the gullibie American peo' pie.
 The American Federation of Labor recently passed resolutions condemn' ing the wholesale admittance of Asia tics to this country. This resolution was aimed primarily at the Japanese and while 1t is very doubtful if the framers of the resolution looked farthor than the industrial side Of the question. % far as they went they are perfectly justified.
 But there is still another side to the advent of these people into our land.
 Some day therc may be . war be- tween this country and Japan. Lei us hope not. but be that as 1t may every one of these slippery celestial Is. n spy for his home government They have no love for tho land that is educating them. only contempt. ant they are constantly sending reporti of every kind across the Pacific Among these arc reports as to oal military brsparsdnass and the dis- position Of our dsfsnses.
