DIR. D. HERSIEIN SAYS TARIFF
NALNOTNJURE THIS TERRITORY

son refused to grant an interview
with George r. Carter" he was asked.
A broad smile was his response to the
question.
Il am hardly in a position to speak
on the matter" said the doctor. Il
do not think it advisable for a gov,
eminent employee to be quoted as
having given his opinion of the Presi.
dents actions
When asked to tell something OF
the preparation Of the Underwood
measure, Doctor Herstein said:
When the measure was put before
the ways and means committee and
the Senate, every item was gone over
time and again with a marked degree
of carefulness, particularly to- the ef.
feet which it would have on the gen.
eral interests involved In every in
stance careful consideration was given
and one of the features. OF the meas
ure was that it did not smack OF star
chamber proceedings, as ali who
wished could come before the COM
mittee and present their side Of the
question. and no one interest was
favored either in the House or in the
Senate. The ways and means and the
finance committee had staffs Of tech,
meal experts both in economics and
statistics. and their advice was sought
almost necessarily. .~. - ..<-
Doctor Herstein was technical ex-
pert for the tariff board when that
body was In existence, and following
its adjournment accepted position
In the New York custom house as as
sistant appraiser. He was then taken
over by. Governor Harrison, with
whom he was associated on matters
relating to the tariff, until his appoint

OF NOMENfROM
THEPHILlPPINES

Miss Ignacia Hiso, who Is a recog.
nized leader Of local Filipino women.
and who has had several years ex.
perience n mission work among her

wards the forming Of what will be
known as the Filipino Woman S
League, and to further her plans. has
called a meeting OF Filipino women
10 be held in the Queen street mis-.
sioT. at 1880 on the evening of No

will come out ahead in the game
After all. the sugar bill is devoid OF
certain articles, for there is no tariff
which can prohibit the Law of supply
and demand. The people Of Hawaii
must not lose their heads: they must
go after the proposition like sane bus.
mess men. They must do everything
in their power to avert any panic
which might arise IN lieu of the Ques-
ton Of the tariff, and if this is accom-
pIished they are sure to come out
ahead.
From every indication now preYa-
lent. the Underwood measure relating
to the removal of the tariff from
sugar will only affect the Louisiana
planters. while the industries in other
parts of the United States, as well as
Hawaii. will flourish. The Louisiana
planters will probably have to go out
Of business, thing which they should
have done so years ago. for Louisiana
is no place to grow sugar cane.

What applies to the sugar cane tar
if applies to all other tariffs, in that
it does not interfere with any legiti-

the position to which the people are
rightfully, entitled But it does re.

shield behind which certain manufae-
turers work and extract profits to
which they are not entitled

NON-FACTIONAL
LEAGUEBACKING
PINKHAKSNAME

Acting independently of factions
headed by local candidates for the
governorship. the Hawaii National
Democratic League last night Endorsed
the appointment of L. E Pinkham as
governor
The main business of the meeting,
which was held al Democratic head
quarters, was to plan a welcome to
the new L. s. district attorney, JEFF
McCarn, when McCarn arrives here
shortly from Tennessee. However.
the feature Of the meeting proved TO
be the Endorsement of the Pinkham
nomination by unanimous vote and the
sending of the following cablegram to
Washington:
"President Of the Senate, Washing.
ton: Hawaii National Democratic
League indorses Pinkham governor
Hawaii"
It is hoped that this expression Of
sentiment among local Democrats will
hasten the confirmation of Wilson's
nominee in the Senate. But according
to, John Efinger, who is chairman of
the league, the members realize that
the Pinkham confirmation is certain
and are taking action now to show
that a strong element of local Democ.
racy is with the President in his NOM
ination. ., -
I'VE know, and most of US have
known for some time past, that Mr..
Pinkham was certain to be confirmed,
and therefore this meeting was not
held to sweep away opposition, but to
show that Democrats. here uphold the
Presidents action"
, The Hawaii National Democratic
League was organized during the last
campaign and is a branch Of the Ma
tional Democratic League, country.
vide organization with branches, in
all the states and territories. Chair.
man Effnger emphasizes. that this
league is "non-factional," though
strongly party organization. 1t is
composed largely Of men not actively
in political life and who are still en-
tnusiastic party men. At the meeting
last night there were about 20 pres
ent, it was stated this morning.
Among them were Chairman Effinger..
Secretary Henry A. Asch, Julius Asch,
Deputy Sheriff Charles. Rose Bertram.
G. Rivenbargh J. Sullivan. sManley
K. HopKins and Herbert s. Martinez.
None Of the avowed candidates for
the governorship was present and on
good authority it may be stated that
the Endorsement of Pinkhamv is not
ooncurred in by Gilbert J. Waller, e.
N. Watson or L. L. McCandless. Mr.
Waller, when asked this morning If 1t
should be understood. that he agrees
with the action of the meeting last
night, said that he was not present
and declined to make any statement
as to his own feelings. Members of
the leagne say that their action was
taken entirely independently of the
local candidates and without regard
to any Of the gubernatorial factions
here
The league is planning warm well
come for District Attorney McCarn,
and the committee named last night
will probably meet him when the
steamer arrives ,off-port and escort
him to his hotel A dinner in his
honor is planned by the Democrats.
The committee named last night is
a representative one, including J. B.

Garry a Spare Valve.

A broken valve is always a possibility
and for this reason a complete spare
valve and spring. ready ground SO that
it may be slipped into place, should be
carried. Sometimes the fracture will be
at the cotter hole, and sometimes at the
head, where the heat Is greatest, while
occasionally slice will be taken out
of the head itself. The latter indicates
either poor material or too strong spring
action. Owners who place stronger
springs on the valves in the endeavor
to secure a snapper action, or VINO alter
the shape of the cams. usually have
trouble with valve breakages Another
cause Of valve breaking that may go un'
suspected for q long time is overheating.
Anything that will raise the temperature
of the valves to an excessive degree 1s
very apt to cause them to break.
