Democratic Mismangement.

Just prior to the election of
1912. Democratic spell binders
told us thai the election OF Viii
son and a Democratic Congress
would bring 4 great wave of
prosperity. One of the first eff
fects of a free trade policy. they
told US, would be to reduce the
high cost Of living. Now, Mr..
Consumer. when YOU go to the
store to buy pair of shoes, d
slab of bacon. sngar, coffee or
anything else for that matter. DO
you find the price reduced: How
about you, Mr.. 1iemalSer: You
have at least got a raise on one
thing that is the specification,
which means that it takes much
better tie to go now than hereto
fore. You have also gotten re
duction on another thing that is
,he price you are getting for your
ties. [, is we'll known fact that
an industrial panic hits tie labor
ing man first and hardest, and
when his income is reduced to
where he can buy only the bare
and absolute necessities the far
mer will find dull market for
his produce. The farmer will be
next to feel the evil effects Of
Democratic miSmanagement.-

Governor Major one day last
week while making an address
before an assem- blage of business
men, stated that he thought all
danger of a panic was about over.
This is a truly remarkable utter
ance coming from a leading Dem
ocrat and an enthusiastic sup
porter of the Wilson administra-
tion. Whether or not a panic
has been averted, Governor Ma
jor has thus frankly admitted
that one has been imminent un-
der the rule of the Democratic
party-Nder the party which
only two short years ago was
loudly berating the Republican
party as having mismanaged the
government and produced unwel-
come economic con d i o n s
through it's policy of protecting
home industries. Put our party
into power" they cried. and

courteous reply' end of his du-
ties. Where our Congressman
fell down in large way in dem
onstrating his capacity to serve
the people of this district, was
by supporting policies of his
party that have the inevitable
tendency to react with misfor-
tune upon the humble working
masses when applied in prac-
tice to our political economy.
He voted to open our gates to
the flood of foreign competition,
and seeing it coming whitfield
plug with his anti-foreign con-
strained-good bill to check it,
and thus placed himself in the
same attitude with the foolish
old woman who attempted to
sweep back the inrushing tide
of the sea with a broom. His
small navy policy is but another
exhibition that he is lost amid
the large things of our national
life, progress and prosperity.
AS a distributor of pie" Mr..
Hensley has, we doubt not, made
quite a success as member of
congress in the eyes of the re-
cipients of his favors; but there
are hundreds of men in this
district whom Democratic poll
cies have made idle and depair
ing who are not overwhelmed
with the benefits they have de-
rived from Mr.. Hensley's labors
in the House, and who may we'll
feel dubious over sending him
back foe another term.

Has Faith in the Mineral
Wealth Of Washington County.

Harry J. Cantwell of St. Louis, we'll
known to many of our readers because
of interest he holds and has held in
this comfy, had an interesting article
in last Sundays Republic on the lead
ore recourses OF this section OF the
state. He claims that the exploita-
ton of the St. Francois County dis
seminated lead deposits has reached
its crest, and with the decline of these
mines, future development of the lead
industry must inevitably look to
Washington County as its field of
operation. Mr.. Cantwell goes on to
say:
ut has been popularity, but errone-
ously, assumed that these deep-lying
massive bodies of lead sulphide ores
were possible only in certain restrict
ed area in st. Francois and Madison
counties, but actual developments
have proven beyond question that
these deposits occur to the west OF St.
Francois County into the area OF
Washington County, where identically
the same geological conditions exist,
and there is no doubt that smaller
areas will be found in other counties.
"These deep deposits will most like.
ly be found, as they have in ST. Fran
co.'s County, in localities where the
surface lead is found extending over a
wide area, where the zones of fracture
extend throughout the entire lime
stone formation. In Washington
County there is the overlying unerod-
ed Potosi limestone and, therefore,
the disseminated deposits will be
found from 800 to 400 feet deeper than
in the Flat River district, but that
Washington Comfy will be able to
keep up the present production of
lead when the Flat River supply is ex-
hausted has been the prediction OF
well-informed scientists for years-a
predic tion verified beyond question
by recent diamond drill tests. Fiji

we will show you how much bet
ter we will govern. Now, after
but little more than one year of
Democratic rule we have, as
Democrats are now confessing,
lately been face to face with a
threatened panic. There are,
however, few who will agree with
the Governor that the danger is
over, for the conditions seem to
be growing worse, rather than
better, and many signs indicate
that the panic will soon be full
fedged. The Governor simply
raised a hope, instead of making
statement of fact. When the
Republicans turned the govern
ment over to the Democrats there
was no sign of a panic on the
horizon, fact that the Democrats
boasted of for several months af-
ter they had assumed the reins;
so whatever conditions now pre-
vail have had their birth since
the Democrats have been running
things. Now what? The people
simply want to know why these
conditions have come to pass un-
der the rule of a party that prom
ised improvement over the way
the Republican party managed

Out in Colorado an effort is be-
ing made to show that the state
soldiery and Rockefellerian
private gunmen re not respon-
sible for the death of something
like a score of people including
two women and seven or eight
children, when the camp of the
striking coal miners was shot up
and burned. BY the time the in
vestigation of this affair has been
concluded it will be found that
these people all committed sui
eide by opposing Rockfellerian
interests, and no one but them
selves was to blame.

GIVE Us THAT ROAD

Another Superyisorial look is being taken al
the stretch of road which for weeks and months
has furnished the main advertising feature Of
the round -the.island belt road
1t is called part of the belt road because il
Is 50 different Itisn't road. Once passing by
that name, the reputation has remained. The
principal use of this particular linear is to
decorate the scenery with stranded automobiles
and ruin the most beautiful round theisland-trip
that can be found in the world. s, . I,
AS this paper understands the situation, the
Supervisors are to determine whether they are
to llse the available money for the construction
of q fine macadam road for portion Of the dis,
tsilcc now marked by bottomless mud leaving
some of the bottomless pit as it ,s--or, use the
funds to make the three and one-half miles Of
road passable in all kinds OF weather, allowing
the finer top finish to be done at a later date.
This paper believes the unanimous opinion of
the riding and driving public is, that road
should first be made passable for all kinds of
weather
Construction Of bed rock road base for
this particular stretch Of Koolau road should
have been done months ago. We call attention
to the past in the hope that our city officers
shall not make the inexcusable error of making
the same mistake twice .s
IN even fair condition passable condition, the
read around this island is a wonderful asset to
Honolulu and the island of Oahu.
Money expended in making this right Of way
one that can be used with a feeling OF certainty
that It offers no more than the ordinary difficult
ties Of travel, is money invested mot an expense
Now, gentlemen, handle it as AN Investment.
Show your ealiber by proving to the community
that y0n have some very practical ideas on the
Investment Of community funds

JUDGE DICMl
ASSESSES fine
ABOVE AVERAGE

Judge Dickey raised the limit" this
morning when he assessed the fine
of a Chinese at $50 instead of $50. as
was expected by Attorney, RawlIns
who. was appearing for the defendant
who had pleaded guilty to charge
of having opium in his possession.
The inflietion of the fine surprised
Rawlins and he at once entered Wig
orous objection to the amount. He
said that he had assured his client
that $50 would be the limit. He also
said that he would rather pay the ex-
ira money out of his own pocket than
allow his client to imagine that he
had not played square with him when
he told him to plead guilty and re-
eeiye a fine of fifty bucks.
{ Judge Dickey could not see it that
way, and said that he thought that
when men demanded a jury trial In
the lower courts and then later on
pleaded guilty, a higher fine than the
minimum should be inflicted. -
|, Prosecutor A. Nj. Brown said that
he joined with Rawlins m asking that
the fine be reduced to $50 In this par
ticular case. He did not favor any
such practice generally speaking, as
he believed that a higher fine should
be inflicted when q man who had the,
opportunity to plead guilty In the.
lower courts, did not do so and put
the county to a lot of extra expense
In the higher court, only to plead
guilty there
Rawlins was worked up over the
proposition and when Judge Dickey.
reduced the fine to $50 and costs the
attorney declared that it reminded
him of peddler reducing the price
of pair. of pants from So to 81, SO.

clared Il am done with it now. i

trial because the supreme court had
under consideration the same kind of
a case as that for which my client

WHAT 10 DO WITH THE MONEY

II The Supervisors of Honolulu should find
that they will have more money at their disposal
for. expenditure during the coming taxation per-
lodi than they anticipated when they made the
ten per cent cut in the city and county over.
head salary expenses, should they mark
the discovery by restoring the salary and over
head department expense zsss3 !.
This we are informed is one of the questions
now before the board of supervisors. Or at least
the board is threatened with the possibility of it.
One answer and only one, can be made to this
by an efficient administration. I
The overhead expense is already large enough
to say the least Restoration of the ten per cent
cut will be mighty poor community business and
therefore mighty poor politics. Citizens are
watching expenditures as never before They
are demanding that public Improvements shall
he carried forward. They demand that the over
head expenses of the local government shall be
reduced TO q minimum .@r~ <@sn
If the income is larger than anticipated, when
the salary cut was made, every last economy
should be continued. ..&=

Honolulu needs to wake up.

And when a man begins to croak, whether he
is Of, by and for big business and therefore sup.
posed to have an inalienable right to sneer at
an enthusiast and man who refuses to say die,
when that business man becomes croaker, he
should be written OFF the list Of business men
and be allowed to flock either by hilpsel or with
as many other eroakers as he can find. M
Forward is the ideal which should dominate
the presented Honolulu and all Hawaii.
Energy is the power that should drive and fur.
