DEFINES THE DUTIES
OF LEGISLATOR

Il never come into the presence of
a legislative body without feeling the
responsibility, h a rests not only
upon those who are entrusted with
legislative duties, but the RESPONSE
bility that rests upon those who dis
cuss public questions in the presence
Of those bearing such responsibility,
and / am anxious therefore to utilize
the time to the very best advantage.
l desire, therefore, to call you atten-
ton to a thing fundamental.
A l have had an opportunity to
address legislative bodies / have felt
like listing the things that may be
said in order that l may use the time
to h best advantage, and l know OF
no better use that l can make of your
time than to call your attention in
the very beginning to the response
bilitieS and limitations of legislators.
n | think l can present to you the
Democratic view Of the subject, and 1
certainly cannot ask you to give
weight to anything / say unless 1 do
present the Democratic view.
To Represent People.
If understand the duty Of the
legislator it is to represent his con-
~stituents, and 1 have no patience
whatever with that idea which some
time enters a mans head, always af-
ter the election, that the people elect
him to think for them rather than to
act for them. My understanding of
the duty of a legislator is to do for
the people what the people want him
TO do. and I do not regard anyone as
exactly fitted for legislative work un-
less he recognizes that he acts fol-
others n not for himself, and my
views are strengthened by the fact
that l have known a legislator to ask
for votes on the theory hat he could
do anything hat his constituents did
not want done. / have sometimes
known legislators after election to as.
sert an independence that they die
not assert before the election. 1 have
sometimes known legislators to in.
sist that it was their duty to do VIVA
they thought was right regardless o
the opinion Of their constituents.
5 IF I am mistaken in my view o
the legislators duty I am afraid tina
: all l say to you this morning will b.
S without effect, and therefore / wan
a to say just a word abOut this funda
n , mental proposition. I believe it j

WILSON SETS PEACE
EXAMPLE FOR WORLD

"lf there ever was a tine when the
Presidents words were appropriate,
they arc appropriate now, when this
nation il the only great nation that
can set an example to the world OF
prcfcrring peace and that which is
n basis Of peace to war and that
which II IN basis of war; and it is
fortunate for the nation, in my judg-
ment. that we have in the White
House at his critical time a man who
believes in peace and whose influence
~ on the side Of the peace prOpa-
ganda that has for its object the sub
stitutiOn of reason for force i'm the
settlement Of International differ
cntrs. (Applause.)
And it is also, 1 think, fortunate
that we have at the head of the Navy
II man who does not ALLOW ship
builders to give the conclusive inter
probation of the word adequate We
believe in an adequate navy, but we
are not willing that the men who
make fortunes building it shall
be the only nes to express an opin-
ion as to what an adequate navy is.
tApplause.) For in building navies
it is as true as in anything else that
o have to consider the bias Of in
terest, and it will be unfortunate for
this country if it ever permits those
who have an interest in wal to deter
mine what We shall do to prevent
war. III Will De an unfortunate tnlrS
for this country if we ever submit, as
a court OF final appeal, to those who
profit by doing the things that en-
broil nations in war with each other.
Distinction for North Carolina.
This State mas had a peculiar dis
tinction. All the abine officers il
has given to the country have beer
Secretaries Of the Navy, if 1 am cor
rectly informed, and / do not know
hat any State has given more thar
you have, at least you have given
number, and 1 venture the prediction
that when Secretary Daniels come.
out of the Navy it can be said Of hin
that North Carolina never gave {,
the Navy a man who exerted a bette
influence, made a better record, O
will stand higher in the years t,
come. (Applause.)

or war as the antithesis Of peace

selves in the language Of General
Grant than would ave done so two
years ago, and they would not be con-
fined to his country either; but dur
ing the last half year the world has
had "a chance TO see more war than
this generation has seen before, and
before entering upon the address,
which / desire to deliver, l venture
to say tina the world had learned
TWO lessons at least, If not more.
in the first place the world has
learned hat nobody now wants to
accept responsibility for war. 1t
used to be that some thought that
war was a good thing, that it served
q useful purpose and might legiti-
mately he desired, but when this war
began the President addressed a
message to each one of the rulers
then involved and proposed media
ton, and they all with one accord de-
MED hat they were responsible for
the war; each one declared that he
did not want it and laid the blame on
some one else.
Disclaim Responsibility For War.
Now il war was a thing to be de-
sired, these persons would ave been
glad to have accepted responsibility
for it, and it's a long step in advance;
it marks an epoch. when no great
ruler is willing to admit that he either
desired or was the cause or this war.
/ think, therefore, that we can assume
that we AVE reached the period
when nobody will defend war as a
thing to be desired, and / hin the
second lesson learned is that prepare
ton is not a preventive of war, for il
preparation could have prevented
war, there would have been no war in
Europe, for they have had ample
preparation for war, and ] cannO,
understand how anybody could be.
licve that preparation was a proven
tative. can understand that a per
son, il he assumed hat war was com
ing, might desire preparation that W.
fare better in the war, but i cannO
understand how anybody cOult
imagine for a that prepare
ton for war tends to prevent war
FOR o "a have no preparation t.
any great extent or for any length o
time unless there is some one whom
you either hate or fear, and if yOl
fear him you are very likely to hat
him, and you cannot preach to
nation hat you must get ready t
tight somebody without cultivating
hatred Of that somebody, and hatrC
is seldom one-sided, and when for
considerable period o have tw
nations or two groups of nations cul
tivating hatred n getting ready
you nay rest assured that their pre-
paration will not always be in vail
for people canno hate each othe
with an increasing hatred and a con
tinuing hatred without somethin
arising that will give them a chanC
TO show their preparedness again:
each other.

LEGISLATURE SHOULDCARRY
OUT WILL OF CONSTITUENTS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

protecting this nation from wars. but
in setting an example that may help
other nations to avoid war, for since
l spoke here a little less than two
years ago, a peace plan has been pre-
scented 10 the nations, with Presl-
dent Wilson'S approval, which has
conquered the world.
Peace Plan.
"A peace plan was presented
which was endorsed in principle by
almost every nation of any import
ance in this world, and treaties have
already been signed with thirty ma
tons representing something like
three-fourths of all the population Of
the globe. Those thirty nations in
clude every South American nation
but one, and they include almost all
of the great nations Of Europe and
| Asia. Japan has not yet endorsed
the principle, but it is because we
have a question between this country
and Japan which has not yet been
finally adjusted but which is being
considered by the two nations in the
most friendly spirit. OF the nations
hat have signed Great Britain,
France, Russia, Spain and Italy rep
resent the larger nations Of Europe,
and besides those we have Norway
and Sweden and Denmark; we have
Holland, we have Switzerland, we
have Portugal: and among those that
have approved the principle but with
which treaties have not been made
! we have Germany, Austria and Bel
I GUM.
Has Conquered World.
The principle underlying this
treaty has, / repeat, conquered the
world, and the treaties already made
link us to something like three.
fOurths of the worlds population, and
these treaties differ in an import
ant respect from other treaties
These treaties provide not for arbi-
~tration, but for investigation, and
period of one year is allowed, but i
is the belief Of hose who favor
these treaties that investigation will
almost without possibility of failure
end in the adjustment of the Difficult
ty; and these treaties differ from 9th
erS in that there are no exception
whatever. In arbitration treaties W.
omit questions of vital interest ant
; questions Of honor and indepedenc'
/ and interests Of third parties; thes
} according to our treaties, some TWEEN
l ty-siX in number. are not to be sub
l mitted to arbitration, but these thirt,
1 treaties providing for investigator

: whatever, and q year is allowed TO

: when the investigation is over som
means Of adjustment will be found
for time will be given to Separat
questions Of fact from questions G
g law, and we feel hat this nation ha
e taken a long step in advance in thu
t proposing to other nations and sc
curing with other nations these trea
ties, which we believe make war a.
most impossible between our our
\ and those countries. But this is asid
from the subject which / wish t

The news of another advance In
sugar to 1895 gave further impetus
to the rising movement in stocks and
there were some comparatively large
advances. Stocks are now at their
highest point for many weeks No Of
fetal news Of the development that
brought on the rise in sugar has been
received, but it is known at the plan
tation agencies that there is short
age of vessels to carry Cuban crops.
This is thought to be important but
not the only factor in the situation.
It Is still believed by some that for
eign buying. probably BY England. has
been heavy.
In response to the high cable Oahu
Sugar, H. G. & g., Pioneer, McBryde,
Honokaa and Onomea went up. The
biggest gain was In Oahu Sugar,
which was up z on several large
sales: 200 Honokaa sold at 5, an adj
vance Of y: H. G. & s. touched the
"a mark. McBryde went up to 6A,
and Pioneer was 24A on transactions
aggregating $50 shares; 95h was bid
for Waialua. The last sale was at
91A.

vance. going to 1876.

TO FACE
GRAND JURY in
MURDER PROBE

Benjamin Sinton will be brought
before the territorial grand jury on
Thursday when the probe into the
murder of William De Freeze, q Coast
AFtilleryman, will begin.
According to the police Sinton has
been confronted with a number of ar
ticles of clothing covered with blood
stains. He is said to admit that the
garments are his property.
Captain McDuffie today received a
statement from James MCGUIRE, en-
ployed at q Fort street restaurant,
that he saw a man much resembling
De Freeze under the influence or
liquor, staggering along the sidewalk
near the corner OF Queen and Fort
streets about five hours before the
crime is believed to have been COM
mitted.
His story would indicate that De
Freeze and Sinton were at that time
together.
Captain McDuffe has learned from
M. Heffran, an enlisted man, that he
last saw De Freeze alive about 1880
O'Clock Saturday evening He says De
Freeze then refused to take room at
q downtown lodging house. Heffran
says that he attempted to take care
of De Freeze but the latter would not
listen to him.
Michael Heffran and v. Beyers, two
of the coast artillerymen questioned
by the police in the effort to discover
the murderer OF William De Freeze,
resent the statement emanating from
the police station that they we're TAX
en- into custody by the police
I'VE were not, as stated, taken to
headquarters, questioned and then re-
leased" said Heffran last night. "The
police auto came down to Fort Arm
strong and we were questioned there.
I'VE saw De Freeze in the Kentucky
saloon about 7.30 o'clock and had
some drinks with him there. 1t was
said in one Of the papers that De
Freeze was spending money freely, but
such was not the case He did not
spend any at all that I saw.
81 got back to Fort Armstrong about
9:39 and De Freeze was seen alive an
hour after that time"
Beyers made similar statement.
He says he arrived back at the post
about o'clock Sunday morning and
was questioned there by the police.
Neither men have any definite clue to
the solution of the crime problem.
What we want to do is to see the
records are straight with regard to
us. We were in no trouble at all and
are doing the best we can to keep
out of it." says Beyers

BILLS

LABOR RECRUITS

-ippine officials has come strong praise
for the labor-recruiting system.
In the February number Of the Mid
Pacific Magazine. w. Cameron Forbes,
ex-governor Of the Philippines, says
in his article on The Progressive
Philippines" -..-s..
THAT the Malay will work, that he
will work hard and that he will work
well Is proved beyond the peradven-
ture OF doubt, many statements and
many beliefs to the contrary notwith-
standing. The experience OF the gov
eminent has been that II gets excel
lent results from these laborers and,
though objections have been raised to
emigration of Filipinos to Hawaii, the
lesson taught by this emigration can
be made one of the greatest possible
assets to us In that 1t has demonstrate
ed in fair field, with no favor, under
the same conditions and equal circum-
stances, that the Filipino works as
well as the Japanese or Korean Ask
the manager OF the street railway, ask
the manager OF the steam railroads in
LuzoIl, ask the directors of the big
manufacturing concerns OF the gov
eminent, and you will receive in each
case a strong Endorsement Of the Fill
Pine as a laborer, and one that will
demonstrate that employers of labor
are in many ways better off there
than in the United States; their costs
are less"
For several years there have been
abortive attemps ON the part of Fill
pjno politicians to block the work Of
the Hawaiian planters agencies. tt
Is said that the bills now in the as
sembly represent the most organized
and serious attempt OF this kind. The
measures, or a combination measure,
should be reported out within day
or two either with favorable or I'M
favorable committee action.
