Is Federal Problem.
The first objection to Il Federal
law is that 1t will be an INFRINGEMENT
upon local self government rights.
Hawaii should solve it's own prob
lem, it is claimed. And yet the ter
ritory is not allowed to solve it's
opium problem. nor does Hawaii at
all resent Federal Interference in this
case. The territorial government also
welcomes the strong-arm of the Fed
erai authorities in protecting it's citi-
zens from a violation of the Ed
munds act. as we'll as the laws against
sInuggnns, prize-nghting, postoffice
thefts, etc. etc. The manhood of
the Hawaiian citizens is not affronsed
thereby. Nor are the Islands worse

count. A man who picks out one
principle of government, regard Hess

was a candidate for the United States
Senate against l.. Y. Sherman and
the late Shelby NJ Cunom at the
