RUERTA's HfssAGE

General Huertas message. to the Mexican
Congress yesterday reveals the -ascendancy of
the ruthless dictator over the statesman in the
person of this temporary occupant tof the seat of
power d. '...-.
Huerta's excuse for his bloody, oppressive
policy is that the welfare of the nation rises
above the observance of principle No statesman
would give vent to such an utterance, and the
twist that Huerta gave words attributed to Ma
poleon shows that he is not one whit above per
verting history to make his case. The Welfare of
any nation must of necessity be founded on OBJ
seryance of principle and one principle to be OBJ
served in republican government is the recogni-
ton of the sovereign will of thespeople, so long
rs that will is lawfully expressed. Huerta de-
stroyed a Congress that would not bend to his
win, swayed an election for himself in violation
81 the Mexican constitution, and now rules the
now Congress utterly, according to all indlca-
lions The unanimity with which the European
powers are supporting President Wilson shows

Open CAMPAIGN
TO SECURE funds
FOR M'DONALDS

At 2 o'clock this afternoon, John
Hughes, John Walker and High Sher-
if William Henry commenced their
public subscription to secure funds
with which to aid Mrs. Angus McDon-
aid and her two little boys in re-
tanning their home at Beretania and
Piikoi streets.
The several creditors of the decamp-
ed Honolulu contractor, who hold liens
against the home, have been interview
ed by Mr.. Hughes, and have given
him the assurance that they will give
their cooperation in aiding the wo-
man. In order to clear the home from
debt in order that it may be turned
over to Mrs. Mcdonald and her chill
dren, those in charge of the subscrip-
ton will endeavor to secure a COM
promise on the part of the creditors.
If this is done, Mr.. Hughes said this
morning that he believes sufficient
money may be secured to carry out
the aim of the committee in charge.
1t is expected that the campaign for
funds will last at least four days, and
it has not been given out by the com
mittee as to just what amount it has
in mind. A large number of people
are already taking an interest in the
case of Mrs. Mcdonald and her chill
dren, and many offers of assistance
have been made.

greater value than the dollar of men
who have kept you alive for years be-

So far as l am concerned the fact
that the Honolulu merchant appears

caused me to consider becoming a
buyer from the mainland unless the

Further, perhaps, Auditor Fisher
will ALSO inform the public, whose
servant he is, why he allows the above

It now appears that when Treasurer Conkling

acted entirely within his rights. AS matter Of fact,
