logg. provided they are found to be

crew. = will take up the matter with
u s. District Attorney Jeff McCarn.s

cabled. The tug Iroquois was sent to
Midway to pick up the shipwrecked
mariners. II brought them here Tues

SWIFT PROGRESS
ON DREDGING
FOR slip


One OF the largest pieces Of work
going on in this country with the ex'
ception of the naval work at Pearl
Harbor. Is the preparatory work for
the new coal bunkers to be erected by
the Inter1sland Steam Navigation
Company at point on Honolulu bay
about an eighth of mile beyond the
railroad wharyes.
Some time ago this corporation pur.
chased d large area Of land from the
Dowsett estate that fronts on the bay
to the eastward of the big oil storage
tanks In the sIwilei district, The larg-
est portion of this is made land,
formed from the dredging Of the har-
Dor number Of years ago. The pur-
chase price is said 10 have been In the
neigh orhopd of $250.000
The Hawaiian Dredging Company
obtained the contract to do the need
ed exeayatfng work, and on 6eptem-
Der commenced dredging operaticns
for the first slip. which Is being dug
Inland. When finished it will be $50
feet long. $50 feet in breadth ct bot
tom and rs feet across at the top
with q depth Of 81 feet Of water.
Already In 500 Feet.
The slip is now dredged into the
nat to distance Of 500 feet. leaving
about ESQ feet yet to be dredged.
This work is under the immediate
supervision of H. G. Purcell, captain
of the dredger, who expects to fnish
I'D all necessary excavation by the
end Of the year. There are "a men
in, the crew Of the big dredger, each
with his own special part to look out
Tor.
During the dredging operations
twenty.five tons Of powder have been
used to date. This is q compound of
elycerine and other explosives prepar-
ed especially for work Of this nature
when the charge to be exploded must
be placed under water.
So far, about as 900 yards Of dredg-
ed material have been taken to sea
and dumped into deep water. The
nature Of the material being dredeed
is claimed to be the best for road
building OF any in the islands, and ac-
Cording to statements Of people on the
ground. it is crime to throw the
stun away as is being done. About
250O yards a day are being removed.
FIN In Flat Lands.
II Il understood that plans are be-
ing made to build second slip OF the
same proportions as. and parallel to-,
the one now being dredged. The large
area Of fat land remaining after all
dredging Is finished win be filed in
with dredged material, raising the
land to 10 feet above mean low water.
For this purpose some $4,000 yards
Of material will be required.
The big scoop that Is doing the
work. removes about six tons of ma
terial at each operation. The perfec.
ton OF control of the powerful work

DEMOCRACY OR MoBoCRACY?

Some would change our constitution
as they change their hats or coats.
Republics have risen, flourished and
persisted in the past. The present
trend raises the question, Is democ-
racy a failure? Thus writes John A
Sleicher in Leslie's, and he goes on:
The London Spectator thinks that
democracies. at all events in France
and England, are ceasing to believe in
themselves. They submit themselves
to the guidance of leaders in whose
capacity and honesty they do not pre-
tend to feel confidence. They elect the
same sort of representatives at one
election after another without expect
ing different or better results. Since
1875" says the Spectator there has
not been a dissolution in France. AS
the electoral period comes around,
parliament automatically ceases to ex-
list, and the deputies receive a new
mandate, which is usually the coun-
terpart of the one that has just come
to an end" In explanation it is sug-
gested that the average voter has
grown weary alike of politics and po-
liticians-" If democracy in the United
States has in it certain elements of
failure, it is because of different con-
ditions from those prevailing il

France. The trouble with the voter in
this country is not that he is weary
of politics, but that he is too easily
swayed by the smooth sophistries of
the demagogue and of the fake re-
former who plays upon the passions
of men. Our constitution was
framed by wise statesmen and far-see-
ing patriots. With a few amendments.
most of which were unforeseen at the
time of its adoption, it has carried
this country through the stress and
storm of a century and a quarter. 1t
has provided for an orderly method
OF making and executing laws and
passing upon their cOnstitutiOnality.
What does the demagogue care for
this? He declares that we have out
grown these time-honored methods of
government, that if the people want
new laws they should have them post
haste. If an official is not filling his
office to suit the mob, let him be re-
called over night, and if the courts
fail to render a judgment that will
please the crowd, let the judges be
recalled and their decisions set aside.
Let the demagogue rule and democ
racy will become mobocracy.

headache she couldn't even think of
church going. Hector recalled letters
which must go out in tomorrow's mail
So the pair were left at home while
their elders hied themselves to their
respective places of worship.
But their Diety was ill-rewarded.
for, upon HOMECOMING, each found the
pride of his heart stretched limp and
had removed them from their reSpec-
tive harems and arranged them de-
Gently and in order beside the alley
gate.
There the Hbereaved ones sorrowed
for breath, then rose up, wrathfully
declaring simultaneously that it was
the work of those envious town peo-
ple-poison, most likely.
Both Hector and Nelly dissented
stoutly. They had been on guard-no
other person had set foot upon the
premises. The cocks had been crow
ing as grandiloquently as ever, then
suddenly had lost their voices, begun
to stagger to flap their wings help
lessly, finally to fall, turn on their
backs and claw feebly at the air.
Clearly both had been stricken with
some mysterious and fatal malady.
The part of wisdom was to bury them
instantly and as far away from their
mates as possible.
Without waiting for further argu-
ment Hector hustled the fallen birds
into feed basket. Nelly snatched UP
a light shovel and together they
marched off in the direction of the
sand flats, with the parting injunc-
ton: Don't wait dinner for us. We
will do good job while we are about
it,
They did-walked three miles,
chuckling and giggling along the way,

flutterings and squawkings of their
reviving victims.

way on cherries-those that were
thrown away when she made fresh
cherry bounce" Nelly explained.

A fortnight later Nelly and Hector
were married without a by your leave

not a little of the blessedness of that
glorious beatitude-'Blessed are the
peacemakers. "-(Copyright. 1915, by

CLIFFORD IS OUT.
Chief Witness Against
BOtkin Is Released.
Attorney Generals Office Will
Start an Investigation.

State house officials are disturbed
today over the mysterious release of
B. j. Clifford from the state peniten-
tiary without notice. Clifford was one
of the most important witnesses for
Governor Capper in the case against
Warden Botkin and his sudden and
unannounced release caused conster-
nation today in state house circles and
occaSiOned Il hurried conference of at
torneys in the case.
Clifford was serving time for for
gerry. 1t was charged that Botkin
took the prisoner to Kansas City some
time ago and permitted his escape.
In many ways the man was one of the
most important witnesses against the
temporarily deposed warden. 1t is
charged today that the man was al
lowed double time for good service in
the face of his record for escape and
was discharged from the prison I'M
der the very eyes of Acting Warden
TOlman.
At the state house today a confer
ence was held by S. M. Brewster, at
torney general; Charles Sessions sec
rotary to Governor Capper, and Ed
win Mckeever, retained as special
counsel by the governor. An effort
to place responsibility for the release
of Clifford is being made and it is
probable that the attorney generals
office will at once launch an investi-
cation of the case. In addition to be-
ing an important witness for the gov
ernor in the custer suit against Ward
en- Botkin, Clifford is wanted in other
states on forgery charges, according to
information in state departments.

BOXES MAY GO.
City May Dispense With Came
well Signal System.
Nearly All Fire Alarms Turned
In by Telephone.

The Gamewell fire signal system
which was installed in Topeka before
telephones became popular will be the
subject of investigation by the mayor
and city commissioners before the new
budget ordinance is passed. The fire
department has for years maintained
a separate pole-line and crew for its
upkeep, and an item for its mainte-
nance is included in the budget esti-
mate of Joseph Hanlon. chief of the
fire department. Before this item is
allowed Mayor House will have to be
shown whether the system is worth
what it costs.
From July 1, 1914, up to and includ-
ing July IS, 1915, two hundred and
ninety-one fire alarms were received
by the Topeka fire department OF
this number only thirteen were re-
ceived over the Gamewell system and
one of these was a false alarm. OF
the twelve genuine alarms only one
was turned in between II o'clock in
the evening and 8 o'clock in the morn.
Ing. Practically all other alarms were
received by telephone.
Chief Hanlon is in favor of retain
ing the Gamewell system and says it
is his intention to have glass fronts.

a key to open the box. The glass can
