ANOTHER BRIEF

Joaquin Comes da Silva, Seventh
Day Adventist and candidate for
American citizenship, in contesting
the claims of United States District
Attorney Breckons thar he should be
denied citizenship papers because his
religion forbids that he serve his coun-
try on Saturday has again filed brief
in support of his cause in the United
States district court 1t is now up to
Judge Clemens to decide whether or
not the man who holds Saturday as
the Sabbath day shall be forced for
this reason to remain an alien.
In the brief filed yesterday da Silva
takes UP the two main points adj
yanced by the United States district
attorney and answers them both in a
way that arouses the respect and adj
miration of the federal officials A
unique fact in connection with da
Silva's brief is the fact that he has
brought to light hitherto neglected
statute which provides that nU man
Who has prejudices of a religious ma
ture aginst going to war shall be
forced to take up arms in the defense
&C his country. Silva further points
cut that the fact thai he would not
serve on jury impaneled on Satur-
day is no valid reason for denying him
citizenship. ........ ~ .

TRIBUTE is PAID e .5........
TO FATHER DAMIEN

Brother Joseph Dutton, manager Of
the Baldwin Home at Kalawao, Molo-
kai, has paid splendid tribute to
the work of the late Father Damien
at the Molokai leper settlement,
priest residing in Syracuse, New
York. Father Francis visited with
Brother Dutton short time ago and
on his return home wrote in praise
of the work done at the leper settle
ment after Father Damien's death. In
reply to this letter, Brother Dutton
not only dealt with the success of the
work which is now being carried on
at the settlement, but of the great
amount of work accomplished by
Father Damien. .:..'....
The letter is, in part, as follows:
THE record of Father Damien has
set a standard for praise that is
Worldwide and the expression of it
even now / recognize as voicing the
worlds approval of his life, unique
in being the first, and admiration for
his lowly death. This death struck a
note in the worlds melody of things
fair and good that reached the heart
of everyone. Some personal friends
speak of us, the imitators las we
truly are), but the world in. general
thinking or speaking of this leper
settlement or OF lepers anywhere, has
Father Damien chiefly in view. 1t
has often been stated that Father
Damien was rough, lacking in culture,
etc. He fitted, however, the early
times, and the work very we'll.
doubt if there were many who could
have effected all the good he did.
Things have changed, advances have
been made, and are still being made.
The settlement is not what it was
twenty years ago. Our feeling should
be chiefly of gratitude, and think

NO FUNDS FOR
INDECENT SICK

. In a communication addressed to the
board of supervisors, DR.. James I.
Wayson. city physician, has again
brought up the Old piliEia as to wheta-
er the city or the territory should bear
the expense of patients from the Girls
Industrial School, who are admitted to
the Queens Hospital. ..-. -.
Wayson maintains that patients COM
ing from the Girls Industrial School
are charges of the territory and that
therefore the territory should pay their
expenses at the hospital.
The superintendent of the girls
school, Miss Sadie c. Sterritt, main
tains, on the other hand, that girls
coming from the city and county Of
Honolulu should receive medical at
tention at the expense of the city and
COUNTY Miss Sterritt declares that the
fact that the girls school assumes re-
sponsibility for the moral welfare of
city and county charges should not
force the institution to look after their
physical Well-being as well. There is
no fund available, according to Miss
Sterritt, upon which the girls school is
able to draw for expenses incurred by
the girls at the Queens Hospital.
IF the city ard county officials in
sist that the girls school pay for their
patients at the Queens Hospital" Miss
Sterritt stated in an interview with a
representative, at may be
necessary for me TO obtain physi-
clans certificate for every girl that |
admit to the industrial school. Only in
this way can | be certain that in adj
hitting girls to the school | am not
the territory liable for hospital
for which az present there
has been made no pr0msion.'

Of the Republican party next year and
indorsed three plans as suggestions

1t was resolved by the committee,

Judgment "a special national conven-
tion of the Republican party should be
held as soon as practicable, for the
purpose of taking action relative to

ton; to the full recognition of the
primary laws of the various states
pertaining to the election of delegates

tee, and the time when the latter
Shall take office and to such other
matters as may seem desirable"
This resolution will be submitted ~
the Republican national committee,
which meets here next Tuesday, to-
gether with the plans suggested for
reapportionment of the delegates to
national conventions.
The present plan of apportionment
of delegates, based on population,
provides for four delegates-at-large
in congress and two delegates from
each congressional district. The pres
ent delegate representation in a ma
tional convention is 1862.
Under the reapportionment scheme
and the alternates suggested, repre-
sentation from the southern states
would be diminished and in some o.
the other states it would be increased.
For example, under plan No. !, Ala
bama would be reduced from "a to Is
delegates; Arkansas from IS to 12;
Georgia from 2S to 18; South Carolina
from 1S to II. and other southern
states accordingly. New York would
be increased from 80 to 1902; Massa-
chusetts from 96 to A; Illinois from
SO to 81, ana so on.
