Mia Bulletin:
To the Manila Daily Bulletin,
Dear Sfrs: In an interview appear

hugo Miller the following statement
Is made: The association will here
after. make special efforts to substi-
tute Filipinos for the laborers Of other
nationalities as fast as the former can
be recruited" - ~ Sf$z.
Taking this statement literally, one
might get the impression that the Ha.
waiian planters have in mind the In
|tention of turning off some 10000 men
of other nationalities for the purpose
of putting In Filipinos; i do not need
to point out to anybody. who knows
anything about Hawaii, the utter Inn
Ipraetieability and impossibility OF
such task from a geographical stand
point alone. What the association
really wishes. and this is what Mr..
Miller Informs me ne intended to
convey, is to I'LL vacancies with Fill
|pinos when same occur.
+ That cur people are well pleased
with the Filipinos Is fact; they are
proving their worth as field laborers,
mill helpers. and overseers. but no In
creased activity In recruiting Is plan

not think that, from the standpoint
of justice, this was a good time for
the Tribune to give Kendall and Wei

vacation. Possibly, however, it sug-
gests itself as an excellent time from
the standpoint Of AnnenbeTg.

employee lose his job for testifying

to make general statement that
anyone refusing to testify stands
liable for contempt of court.

Washington, D. c., February 49,
Forty-nine years ago today, on Febru-
airy 10, 1864, Justus H. Rathbone or
gained the order of Knights of Pyth-
las. There were scarcely enough men
to fill the offices when Mr.. Rathbone
formed the first lodge and read to it
the ritualistic work. Now there are
a million members and the order has
lodges in every state and territory of
America. 1t includes many of the
most noted men of the nation. VIM.
Mckinley was member, having re-
ceived the honors of Knighthood in
Champion lodge, Columbus, Ohio.
Rathbone organized the order at
time when the country was just emerg-
ing from civil strife. He saw the
need of an organization that would
appeal to all men who loved friend
ship, charity and benevolence, regard
