The following letter has been re-
ceived in reply to the arguments
advanced by Progressive Leader
George R. Carter il Lihuc Hall
Saturday night,
EDITOR GARDEN ISLAND:
On behalf of the people on this
side of the island of Kauai, l wish,
through your valuable paper, to
thank Mr.. Carter, candidate for
Delegate to Congress on the Pro-
Sressive ticket, for his clear expo
sition of the great principles for
W hich his party stands, as we'll as
for w h t it i $ opposed to-
Heretofore we have as have the
majority of the people OIL the main
land, been under the delusion that
our destinies and welfare could be
best served and protected by either
the Republican or Democratic par
ty. and Notwithstanding attempts
made by various dissatisfied peo-
pie i'll the past to establish a party
to supercede these old parties. such
as the Poi ulist, Socialist, etc. and
later the Progressives, the majority
of the electorate on the mainland
have steadily maintained the SUI
premacy OF the old parties.
Knowing that nothing is c
perfect, not even a political party
it has ever been the desire and
wish of those affiliating with these
parties, and particularly those hav-
ing the best interests of the people
tat heart, to-correct the evils exist
ing within the party, from time 10
time, rather than to break from
them because of personal grievance
and disorganize the whole govern
ing system which has required
years to build up TO its present
s:ate of perfection. These leaders
have fully realized that many years
would be required to organize and
build up a new party to the present
state Of either of the old parties
and that in the meantime much
suffering would b e experienced
Throughout; the entire land.
For those on Kauai who have
not been able to appreciate or un-
derstand the great principles for
which the ProgI essive Party claims
to stand, or its reasons for exis-
tcnce, l will enumeratc a few of
the most important On the main
land, according to Mr.. Carter, the
main fundamental principles. are:
lst-Theodore Roosevelt and his as
tendency. End, Humanity. 3rd,
Regulation of Child Labor. 4th,
Equal Suffrage. 5th. Education OF

WaipoulI homesteads If this deal
goes through (and the superinten-

be ample land for the site, and
work upon the building may so
ahead without delay.

DECLARES FRANCE
 UNJUSTLY PROVOKED

Paris, August 4.-Premier Viviani made the French governments state- ment on the war in the Chamber of Deputies today His remarks created the deepest enthusiasm. He detailed events of the past fortnight, declaring Germany. "irrefutably and logically jus tified the acts of the French govern ment."
 During his remarks the premier said: :
 France has been unjustly provok ed , she did not seek the war; she has done all in her power to avert 1t. Since war was forced upon her. she will de- fend herself against Germany and any other power who takes a part by the side of Germany in the conflict.
 Against an attack which violates all the laws of equity and all the rights of nations. we have taken all necessary dispositions"
 The House turned toward the Russian minister, M. Iswolsky, who sat in the diplomatic gallery, and cheered Russia.
 The premier continued: Belgium has 250,000 men in arms prepared to de- lend the neutrality and Independence of their native land. The English fleet is mobilized to the smallest vessel and the English army is mobilizing.
 The deputies arose again, turned to- ward where the British ambassador, Sir Francis Bertie, was sitting in the gall fery and cheered wildly.

ARMY WORM CAUSES
 ALABAMA'S WORRIES
About Destructiyeness of This Cotton Pest

H. H. Smith editor of the Colinsvile Reaper, one of the few bull moose" pa pers in Alabama, declared last night on his arrival to attend the progressves convention in Birmingham today that with war and rumors of war disturbing European countries, Alabama s sole cause for worry was due to the depredations of the army worm
 While this is true'' said Mir. Smith, i've are nevertheless consumed with fear lest the United States will be drawn into the difficulty With England flying at the throat of Germany our sympathies will be aroused to an almost uncontrol- lable extent and if any excuse is given. President Wilson will have his hands full to prevent Americans forcing him to enter the melee
 Tn North Alabama. there is a great deal Of distress among the farmers on account of the inroads which the army worm is making into the cotton plant The army worm is more ferocious in it's attack than the boil weevil and is therefore, more destructive. Farmers are endeavoring to stop the depreciation of this pest by application to the plant of liquid treatment, but up to this time, little success has been achieved"
 MT. Smith Is an ardent ''progres ssive' and Is one of the few men of Alabama who believes that MT. Roosevelt really discovered the river of doubt"

WAR LEADERS ARE
 CONCEALING ACTS

Washington, August a.-Nfilitary ex-. perts here agreed tonight that if the pur- Iose of the general staffs of the French and German armies Is to conceal the ob- jects of their campaigns until the comple- tion of mobilization. they have succeeded wonderfully. officers of the army gen. eral staff said no facts had appeared in news dispatches or official reports which permit them to hazard guess at what is in the minds of the great French and German strategists.
 American officers are watching with particular interest Germanys attitude to- ward Belgium. They believe that even without the redemption of the British guarantee of neutrality, the Belgians can give good account of themselves. Dur ing the Franco-Prussian war the little nation turned out an army of 25Oe00 men. On war footing the Belgian troops now number 27s.0oO. according to the last tech nical report

Important Questions to Settle


 Tn deciding the present case, it is point ed out that the commission will be called upon to settle some most important ques- or not the special rates are in and of themselves req asonabe IT so, why should not the public at large. as well as cer- tain industries, enjoy them. Again. the question is asked, Would the commission be justified in requiring their further use if they are not reasonable? also Would the commission, If they are not reasonable, be justified in retaining them for the protection of industries built up under these special rates? The presump- tion being that but for the special rates these plants would have been located nearer the fuel supply
 It is further pointed out that all spe- cial rates are. under the law, optional with the railroads upon approval of the commission, hence another question sug- gested is whether or not the comm ssion would be justified in the retention of these special rates for special industries selected by the railroads in certain ter ritory, while the commission Is without authority to require the railroads to give similar reduced rates for the same class of industries in other sections of the state.
 The case is believed to be one of the most important which the commission has ever been called upon to decide, and 1t is expected that the hearing will attract general interest throughout the Birming- ham and Gadsden districts, inasmuch as the big industrial plants of those sec tions will be directly affected by the com missions decision.
