EXIT RUtMA

Somehow the departure from the bright-lit
Mexican stage of Senior Victoriano Huerta, ex-
minister OF war, ex-generalissimO, ex-prOysion-
al president, ex-dictator, brings feeling of re-
luctant regret The old Indians iron rule was
the only rule he knew He was brought up in
an atmosphere of brutal violence, where might
made right and presidents ruled like kings,
with their subjects underlined What did
this grim-faced descendant of the bIanketed,
painted savages know of the ''new freedom" of
the rule of the ballot, of the primary law of the
universal voting franchise? The only initiative
he recognized was that of the bayonet and the
only referendum that of the sabre and the car
bne. Huerta lived up to his traditions in try
ing to reign in Mexico as Porfirio Diaz had
Teigned before him. And the spectacle of the
stolid savage, surrounded by enemies, by spies,
by plots, by conspiracies in peril of abduction,
in peril of assassination; almost friendless
afraid to trust the guards outside his bedroom,
afraid to trust his minister's his councillors, his
generals spectacle of this aged man stand
ing firm for many months against all the sua-
sion of foreign Powers and all the threats of
Uncle Sam-well, it commands unwilling adj
miration. OF course Huerta had to go. He is
a relic of barbarism he is an anachr0nism His
type of ruler is obsolete in America He must
make way for the kind of president who can
make stump speech and write a magazine
article. Truly the pen is mightier than the
sword-and Woodrow Wilson has proved it by
eliminating EictOriano Huerta

EDITOR
SENATOR ROOT REIIRtS

Estimates Of Senator Elihu Root have varied
remarkably He has been alternately. praised
to the skies as one of Americas greatest states
men and condemned to the neither depths of con.
tumely as the abjrct servant of the corpora
tons.
The New York World, long bitter political
adversary Of Mr.. Root. in Il recent editorial
gives this remarkable characterization of his
career and powers. With the Worlds conclu-
sion-that public life can i'll spare this man of
great taent-there will he little disagreement
"Had Elhu Root exercised better Judgment
i'm til selection of his clients he would have been
president Of the United States. BY the time the
statesman had lived down the record Of the cor
pOration lawyer it was too late.
"Mr. Root is today one of the two command
ing intellerts in the public life of the country,
the other being Woodrow Wilson. He will be
remembered as great secretary of war who re-
organized the United States army after the mill
tary experts had muddled with it in vain. He
will be remembered also as a very competent
secretary of state and in the; United States SEN
ate he has upheld the highest traditions of that
body.
although his maine is not identified in the
puDHc mlnd WITH any nOfaDIe piece or leglSia-
ton, Mr.. Root is generally recognized as the
ablest man in the senate. His time and his tai
cnt have been devoted exclusively to public
questions. He has not been patronagebroker
cr a manipulation of bills or party whip. Few
senators have shown such consistent indepen-
dence, and he has debated no question without
shedding light on it. ....
"The World was vigorous opponent of Mr.
Roots election to the senate, but it is pleased
to testify that none of its misgivings was ever
realized, and it sincerely regrets his determine
ton not to be candidate for reelection There
is nobody left in either party who can fill his
place. ...
ct has been said Of many men that their re-
tirement was a loss to the state and nation, but
in the case of Senator Root it is very real loss,
and loss for which there are no. compensa-

DELAYING THE FEDERAL BUILDING

From the Hawaiian angle of view on the fed
oral building situation, it is dangerous to load
the bill down with such a rider as that Of the
amendment proposed by Former Governor
Frcar. the details of which are told in the news
columns today.
Mr. Frear appeared before the house commit
tee on public buildings on June 10 proposing
an amendment which provides for the REIN
bursemcnt of the Mahuka site defendants for
their expenses of attorneys fees, etc, during
the litigation of the last few years. .....
The,temper of the committee has been plainly
shown against the amendment-not against JUS
tice for the Iessees and owners of the Fort Street
property who We're put to expense during the
condemnation suits-but against the presenta-
ton OF their bills to the committee on buildings
and ground. In the hearing on June 10 the
chairman of the committee twice stated that the
matter should come before the committee on
appropriations, and that the buildings commit
tee has no jurisdiction.
Businessmen of Honolulu may remain calm
and let the federal building bill go through
the lower house-or kick up fuss about few
Thousand dollars expense to which they have
been put and probably delay real action on the
buiding and site for another year.
The federal government is not going to beat
any just claimants out of their rights. But the
public buildings committee quite evidently does
not intend to pass on what it considers ques-
ton for Tire appropriations committee.

FRAZIER And BElDlE BOOST

Now comes another proof of the effective adj
vertising of Hawaii done by the Honolulu Ad
Clubs two delegates to the Toronto adj mems
ccnention-C Charles II. Frazier and /. III. Bea-
die.
The Ad Mems World, a newspaper published
daily while the convention was in session and
circulated among the thousands of delegates
and attendants at the convention, devotes a
large part of its first page to photograph of
1Iessrs. Frazier and Beadle duly decorated with
badges and leis An article accompanying the
picture says:
Who is Jack Allocate of San Diego? The Homo
lulu delegates to the AID Club convention want to
send Jack geography, for Jack claims he has
travelled the greatest number of miles of any Ameri
delegates. Just add POO miles to Jacks mile
age" said Charles r. Frazier, of the Honolulu
delegates "and you'll where have him beat
Add another 200 miles for the return trip and
there we have him beat
You bet we like Toronto. 1t has climate just
like Honolulu-that is. while have been here
and We think Honolulu has the finest climate in the
world. Toronto is not only beautiful and hosptabe
and M TO date, but II is clean-ceaner than any
other city we have been in. Yes, like Toronto,
and would choose il next to Honolulu to live in.
The World has given the Ad Club convention great
publicity, and 1t appears to me to be Toronto's
best bet newspaper"

THE VALUE OF PUBLICITY

When the thirty-fivs railroad syS-
TENS that are appealing TO the Inter.
state Commerce Commission for per-
mission to increase freight rates pre-
pared to present their case, one of the
first things done was to arrange that
the arguments and evidence should
reach the public ear as well as the
ear OF the commission. To accomp-
lish this. bulletins we're prepared and
have been sent out two or three times
a week to the newspapers and other
publications of the country, to legis-
Iators. members of Congress. COVER
nors, college professors, commercial
organizat lions, shippers and everyone
else who would have an interest in, or
whose opinion would be likely to in
flence the case for or against the
railroads These bulletins set forth
the railroads cost of living and from
every possible point of view presented
the reasons why the railroads should
be allowed to increase rates,
Senator La Toilette thinks that this
effort TO lay the case for the railroads
before the public was a crime, and he
proposes to prohibit by law anything
of the sort in the future So far as
heard from tire is no one but the
Wisconsin Senator who holds this
view. On the other hand, the rail
roads have been congratulated upon
the frankness and effectiveness with
which they have set forth their case

URGES SAFETY FOR eAT4ERs.

1889 Makiki Street, Honolulu, T. II.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: l wish if possible to correct
an altogetheE~wrong impression which
would naturally be conveyed TO the
reading public in an article from your
special correspondent at Hilo Of yes
terday's date dealing with a series of
suggestions which made to the board
of supervisors at Hilo recently for the
betterment OF conditions at the Cocoa
nut Island bathing beach. My sugges-
tionS were burlesqued by your CORE.
spCndent
AS you are doubtless aware there
have been during the past few weeks
drowning fatalities both in and around
the district of Hilo. which prompted
my suggestions to the board of super
visCrs of endeavoring to awaken in
terest in forming life saving society
for the islands of Hawaii on similar
lines to that far reaching and useful
society, the Royal Humane Society OF
Great Britain.
WIN IeSaIu u the NOcOdHuI ISldllu
bathing beach suggested that a few
regulations such as are existent at
many well known resorts and also
suitable equipment be purchased for
use in first aid
| still believe that if my suggestions
were adopted in whole or in part they
would prove extremely beneficial in
the case of giving assistance TO those
requiring it and would obviate the
possible loss of valuable lives through
the absence of proper equipment at
the right time. .>.s-. ...
/ maintain that this is a matter
which cannot be treated as material
for comic illusions and regret that

THE ZENAhA POOL

But best Of all in this/embroidCry
OF running water was the square pool
that la- in the midst of the zenana,
for the bottom of ii was carved into
the image of huge and many-petaled
lotus flower, all OF one block of white
marble without flaw or stain. and the
petals seemed astir when the clear
crystal passed flowing over them
And at each corner OF the lotus COM
pie ting the square. were triangular
panels of delicate water flowers, aud
through the water the carnelian and
the agate and the jasper Of which
they We're fashioned shone strangely
with vivid glea,as. All round the
pool OF the lotus used to sit the flow
ers of Shah Jehan's garden OF girls,
and there Is no pool on earth that has
reflected the image of such beauty.
Often did the Pearl-Lily. the chief
flower and favorite Of the harem sit
there with unsandaled feet, waiting
for the summons of her lord: and
sometimes a cloud would pass over
the image of her face reflected there
when she considered that her lowell
ness would pass, and her beauty be
married by wrinkles of the shriyeling
years, and desire would fail. and long
after her lips had crumbled into dust
and her soft limbs had been laid I'M
derground for the worm and the red
ant to fatten upon. the water that
lowed there would be ever renewed
and know not the horror OF age.

The committee took the matter up
at once. The report of the hearing
showed that Frear's proposition met
much opposition Chairman Clark
stated repeatedly that he did not be-
lieve his committee had jurisdiction.
Frear said he had affidavits that the
amount involved is about $4,000 and
that no further appropriation than the
one in the pending bill would be ne
cessary. The $4,000 would come out
of the general appropriation
The members of the committee
strenuously objected to including the
Frear amendment, on the ground that
it binds the government to pay an
unsettled and unagreed-upcn amount
of attorneys fees and other expenses.
Chairman Clark made this signifi.

MISSING THE POINT


The afternoon paper gravely points out that the
chairman OF the Republican territorial central
mittee should be neither a pronounced Kuhio man
a Rice Which is about the same as saying
that the man to be at the head of the committee
should be political ninny Of kind who takes
not enough interest in politics to have a choice as
to who should be its leading canddate.-The Ad-
vertiser
Don't go off halfcocked, Brother 'Tiser
This paper did not say that the chairman of
the Republican committee SHOULD be neither a
pronounced Kuhio man or Rice man." In the
first place that is bad grammar, and in the sec.
ond place it is unnecessary misinterpretation
of the point the Star Bulletin made. What we
wished to emphasize is that the spirit of the di
rect primary law as we'll as the spirit of Repub
lean party fairness makes it imperative that
the Republican territorial central committee
and most of all its chairman-play no favorites
in the pre-primary campaign. That proposition
is so self-erdent that it should not need reitera
ton. We might ask, Has the Advertiser a can
didate for the craftsmanship of the Republican
party?
